Chapter 902: Killing Two Birds at Once

"I've said it before, Roger and Rafa are out of date, they are not worth mentioning at all, Novak is the world's number one, Novak is the greatest player in history."

If Serjan Djokovic also had a system with an "attract hatred" item on the attribute panel, he should have maxed it out, vividly interpreting the essence of "stupid teammates".

Djokovic is preparing for the upcoming quarter-finals with his full attention focused on the court, but he didn't expect that while he was at home, something unexpected would happen.

Of course, everyone knows that with the elimination of Nadal and Federer, Djokovic and Murray's chances of winning the championship have increased rapidly.

But the key point is that Serjan really doesn't need to jump out and criticize Nadal and Federer every time. The more he does so, the more he highlights his pettiness and narrow-mindedness.

Because only losers will always keep a close eye on other people's performance, and then look for every opportunity to highlight and emphasize their own excellence and strength.

A true champion doesn't need to shout about his or her achievements for fear that others won't see them, and this is especially true in the world of competitive sports.

What's more, Seljan did not forget to drag down Gawain.

"He's totally worthless."

"I think your question shouldn't even be asked. Novak is now on par with Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan. Roger and Rafa are no match for him. We are discussing the greatest player in the history of competitive sports. How can a mere Gawain be compared to him?"

Serjan himself mentioned Gawain in his speech, so the reporters took the opportunity to ask questions about Gawain, but the champion father seemed to be dismissive.

"I think Gawain must have dreamed of following in Novak's footsteps and trying his best to become a champion as smart, humble and polite as Novak, but unfortunately, he has no chance, not even a single chance."

"Gao Wen, please respect yourself and don't try to gain popularity by trying to gain connections. Novak and he are not friends at all."

Even the reporters were dumbfounded. It was clearly Seljan who took the initiative to bring up Gawain, but how did the topic become about Gawain trying to ride on the popularity in the end?

The ability to call a horse a zebra and speak nonsense once again refreshed the journalists' cognition——

It is really hard to imagine that in the short time when Nadal and Gawain returned to the locker room to freshen up and prepare for the post-match press conference after the game, Seljan was able to create a series of explosive points, strongly refresh his presence and provide material for the latest post-match press conference.

Even if the reporters wanted to ignore it, they would feel embarrassed, otherwise it would be a waste of Serjan’s efforts, right?

So, at the post-match press conference, the hot spots were revealed.

So, how did Gawain respond?

"Yes, yes, Mr. Djokovic is right. All of it. After all, he is Mr. Djokovic. Who else can be more authoritative than him?"

Polite and sincere.

Smile and be honest.

It was a little unusual that Gawain did not make any sarcastic remarks or laugh or curse, but instead expressed his approval repeatedly with a sincere face.

But why do I always feel... weird?

Are you sure that he is not referring to Djokovic by calling him "Mr. Djokovic"? Moreover, in order to prove his sincerity, Gao Wen also gave his affirmation again very seriously.

"Djokovic is the champion."

In line with the views before the Australian Open kicked off, the humble and low-key reaction really caught the reporters off guard.

But after calming down and savoring it carefully, the reporters were able to perceive the true meaning of Gao Wen's words -

Djokovic has always insisted on one point of view:

although he completely disagrees with his father's views, his father is an independent adult and he has the right to express any opinions, so he is not going to stop his father or express his opinions.

Objectively speaking, there is nothing wrong with this sentence itself, because it is the fact -

As a child, Djokovic cannot cover his father's mouth and make him shut up; nor can he condemn his father's remarks in public and embarrass him.

No matter how he handles this matter, Djokovic will find it difficult.

But Djokovic overlooked one thing, a very, very important thing:

He is a public figure.

Meanwhile, Serjan is not.

The reason why Serjan's words are valued and spread is not because he is Serjan, but because he is Djokovic's father.

Naturally, Djokovic must take responsibility for everything Serjan says and does, just as parents should be responsible for their children's words and deeds, and vice versa.

Some people are good at letting their father down, but here, it’s the strength that lets down one’s son.

Perhaps, Djokovic cannot stop his father from speaking out; but as the party who bears all the consequences of his words, Djokovic should bravely take responsibility, deny his father's views, and express his own position and views. This is the right thing to do.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Instead of passing the buck by saying "I can't stop my father from talking" and then pretending nothing happened, he tried to cut ties with the negative impact of his father's remarks, but he never really expressed his attitude of cutting ties.

Obviously, Gao Wen was implying this.

Djokovic must be held accountable for Serjan's remarks. If it weren't for Djokovic, Serjan's words would have no power.

After Gao Wen's post-match press conference, the reporters came back to their senses one by one, realizing that the young player had more to say, and then -

It just went viral.

Originally, Serjan's remarks sparked a series of heated discussions on social networks. Fans of Federer and Nadal issued strong condemnations, but Djokovic's fans have been defending their idol, trying to distance themselves from Serjan and refusing to admit that they had anything to do with these remarks.

Of course, there are also a small number of fans who think that what Serjan said is "right", which further intensifies the online conflict.

Federer and Nadal have long been accustomed to this and simply did not respond. Nadal just laughed it off at the post-match press conference.

Moreover, given their personalities, they don't like to respond to these topics.

But Gawain is not.

On social networks, Gao Wen's subtle but sharp response quickly sparked heated discussions, with journalists adding fuel to the fire with sarcasm.

The news soon became a hot topic. Although it was the match between Gawain and Nadal, Djokovic unexpectedly became the focus of headlines.

I have to say that Serjan is indeed a master at attracting hatred. With a simple interview, which has nothing to do with him, he can easily offend a large number of fans. Others can only "kill two birds with one stone" at most, but this master can "kill multiple birds with one stone", and even the innocent Murray was caught in the crossfire.

"Andy? Haha, that's a good joke, I like it. But do we really need to discuss Andy?"

Very good, now Djokovic has truly experienced what it feels like to be surrounded by enemies and ambushed from all sides, but I don’t know if he is willing to be interviewed?
