Chapter 878 Not a Problem

“I think this should prove that my performance is indeed good, which has caused such a strong reaction.”

When the reporter asked Gao Wen how he felt about the boos from the audience, Gao Wen replied like this.

The light and witty answer made everyone's eyes light up.

Yu Jia was also very surprised. Even though he had witnessed Gao Wen's many press conferences, he had to admit that this was the most difficult one.

The problems are getting more difficult and dangerous one by one.

Although Gao Wen's answer was excellent, the reporter still had no intention of stopping there, and the next wave of attacks came again.

"Gawain, do you know the difference between 'Shush' and 'Siuuuu'? Do you think this is an attack?"

"No, I don't know. Can you explain it to me?"

The back and forth passing was comparable to Barcelona's "Tiki-Taka" passing tactics. Before they had time to catch their breath, the pass was kicked back again.

The reporter looked at Gao Wen's sincere face and felt a breath stuck in his chest. Was he being outmaneuvered?

But this is the question I asked, so I had to swallow my anger and then gave a brief explanation.

"Shh" is the common booing sound, while "Siuuu" is a sound exclusive to C-Ronaldo, but the point is that the latter is an encouragement for C-Ronaldo, but a suppression and deterrence of momentum for his opponents, and is even more aggressive than "booing".

The "Siuuu" sounds coming from Margaret Court Stadium were clearly humiliating.

Gao Wen suddenly understood and nodded slightly, indicating that he finally understood.

The reporter was a little anxious, "So what do you think?"

Gao Wen looked serious, raised his right index finger and placed it on his lips, "Shh", which means keep it a secret, but what is the secret? "Please don't tell Cristiano, I don't want my ignorance to ruin our friendship."

What is this? Then, Gawain shrugged.

"At least, I think we're friends."

The light self-mockery instantly dispelled the aggressive momentum. It was really hard to make the atmosphere serious. There was a faint laughter.

Judging from the accent of the laugh, it seems to have a Spanish accent.

The reporter who asked the question was somewhat helpless and had to repeat the question again, "I want to ask, do you think this is an attack?"

"No, I don't think so."

Once again, Gawain answered without any hesitation and gave the answer directly, but this time, Gawain continued to speak and finally gave more information.

"If you're asking me if it distracts me, the answer is no, because I know it's part of the game."

“When I play in my hometown, believe me, the whole crowd is behind me, fighting with me, that feeling is something I will never forget.”

"Now in Melbourne, I can totally understand the audience's feelings."

Home and away.

This is relative. It is because of the home court that there are away courts. Otherwise, we can just go to a neutral venue to play.

In tennis matches, the impact of home and away games is relatively small, unlike football, basketball and rugby, where the impact is visible to the naked eye.

Therefore, they learned to enjoy the treatment at home while accepting the difficulties on the road.

What's more, when I was at UCLA, there was a huge difference in the home and away treatment in the NCAA. Relatively speaking, the away game at the Australian Open was just average.

"In fact, I always think this is a motivation that makes me more focused and more committed to the game. I look forward to winning the support of the audience with my performance."

"If there are still boos instead of cheers, it means my winning point is not exciting enough, so I should be more focused on the next point."

These words are just understated, but one can deeply feel the perseverance and faith that Gawain exudes from within.

So, is Gao Wen provoking the home fans?

The louder the boos, the more excited they are? In fact, the players always say, "Turn pressure into motivation", and it is always the same when playing away games. What else can we do? But very few people dare to challenge the fans so directly, being flamboyant, bold, arrogant and confident, showing the vitality of the new generation to the fullest.

But Gawain is so sincere and pure, and one can even feel the enthusiasm and vitality coming towards him, which makes it really hard to dislike him.

The reporters looked at each other, but they didn't know how the local fans in Australia would react to hearing these words.

The only thing that is certain is that after defeating four Australian players in a row to advance to the quarterfinals, Gawain had no guilt, no fear, no retreat and no intention of stopping.

This journey is still ongoing——

If a storm is coming, let it come harder.

In Gao Wen's view, fans booing has never been a problem and should not be a problem.

Among the Big Four, Djokovic is still dealing with boos from fans until now, and his popularity is obviously not as good as Federer and Nadal.

What's more, even Federer, who is known as the "global home court", is not born with the global home court.

Not to mention the early days of his career, even after he became famous, Federer had conflicts with fans more than once. The most famous one was in 2012, in the French Open quarter-finals, facing Del Potro.

Federer lost the first set, and the second set went into a tiebreak. The score became tense, and some Argentine fans shouted that Federer's return was out of bounds. In fact, it was not out of bounds, but Del Potro still won that point and took the second set, leading by two sets.

After that point, Federer yelled at the fans, "Shut up."

As a result, Federer also aroused dissatisfaction among Paris fans and was booed.

Then in 2013, at the French Open and Paris again, Federer faced local players in two consecutive rounds, first Simon and then Tsonga. The boos that filled the entire stadium poured down on Federer. In the end, Federer was unable to withstand the pressure and lost to the hot-tempered Tsonga.

Tennis is a very special sport because it requires absolute silence during the hitting process, which is very different from football, basketball, rugby, etc.; therefore, the interaction between players and fans is more complicated, and attacks from fans are always part of the game.

No one is an exception, including the Big Four and "GOAT" like Serena Williams.

The respect and love of the fans.

It will not fall from the sky, but requires players to earn it through their own performance game by game, and accumulate it slowly step by step.

This is a truth that Gawain clearly understands, and it is also the truth that Sampras and Agassi keep telling Gawain.

Strictly speaking, Gao Wen has been in the professional arena for less than a year. Because of his unexpected victory in the US Open, he has become a target and is under more attacks and pressure. He knows that he needs more time, and there are still stars and seas waiting for him to conquer slowly in the future.

Therefore, he will not act too hastily, nor will he be impatient, nor will he stop moving forward.

Of course, Gao Wen cares about the boos from the fans and the attacks from the reporters. He is also a kind-hearted person. He will be angry, sad, anxious and nervous. However, he will not compromise, retreat, be afraid or scared. He will fight to the end.

He will turn those boos into motivation and return them tenfold.
