Chapter 903: Ominous Premonition
Serjan Djokovic, the king of hatred.
Federer, Nadal, Gawain, Murray... all made precise strikes, and even Wawrinka, Berdych and Kei Nishikori were not spared.
It was just a simple interview, but Serjan completed it with the highest efficiency in the shortest time, and made Djokovic an isolated island effortlessly.
Reporters swarmed towards Djokovic, but as expected, Djokovic refused any form of interview and response.
Silence is still what Djokovic is best at.
However, this time netizens were not happy——
Because of Gawain's sarcasm and precise attacks, which touched the soft spot of Djokovic's fans, a heated dispute and debate was ignited.
Social networks are noisy.
"Djokovic VS Gawain" quietly became the focus of the focus again.
From Doha at the beginning of the year to the Australian Open that kicked off immediately afterwards, the discussion surrounding Djokovic and Gavin has never diminished.
In fact, all of this is the routine of reporters.
On the one hand, the topic of "Big Four vs. Challengers" is undoubtedly the main theme of this year, and reporters also need to firmly grasp the core topic.
On the other hand, Djokovic is currently the world's number one and bears more firepower. The duels between Djokovic and Wawrinka, and Djokovic and Gao Wen were originally the focus of discussion, because these two players defeated the world's number one in the Grand Slam respectively, and the discussion focus inevitably focused on them.
In addition, Gao Wen's youth, as a leader of the new generation, does add a lot of color to the topic.
Therefore, reporters consciously keep bringing up this topic.
Maybe there is no personal grudge between the two players, but reporters keep fanning the flames. Even good friends can become enemies, let alone two strangers who don't communicate much? The words change their original meaning when they are passed around by reporters.
It is for this reason that when the Australian Open is about to kick off, people are paying attention to whether the duel between Djokovic and Galvin could take place in Melbourne Park.
However, after the draw was announced, with one in the upper half and one in the lower half, the reporters stopped talking.
After all, it is extremely difficult for the two players to meet in the final.
The main issue is Gao Wen. The three giants gather in the lower half, which is simply a Shura field. No reporter is so bold and crazy to predict that Gao Wen can fight his way into the finals; even if it really happens incredibly, it will take two weeks of competition time, which is not a hot topic at the moment.
There are unexpected turns.
No one expected that Gawain would actually make it to the semi-finals. Federer's upset elimination and Nadal's regrettable stop became footnotes to the miracle.
So the focus returned again.
Indeed! All of this was the foreshadowing and guidance of the reporters, but the key point is that without the east wind, the reporters could not incite:
For example, if Gao Wen was eliminated in the first round, then even if the reporters shouted loudly and fanned the flames, the topic would still be chilling.
Can't heat up.
It was precisely because of Gao Wen's impressive performance that he made it to the semi-finals with great momentum, and then the reporters were immediately excited.
Overwhelming!
Everywhere!
vigorous!
The entire social network was extremely lively, and it presented a very unique and wonderful scene:
Federer, Nadal, Murray and... Gao Wen's fans are madly attacking Djokovic.
Even the Spanish fans and the Chinese fans stood on the same front, completely forgetting that they were rivals just a few hours ago.
In this situation, Australian fans have an ominous feeling:
Why is the direction of things going... a little wrong? All signs indicate that the current story is heading towards Djokovic and Gao Wen meeting in the final and then fighting on the top of the Forbidden City? Who wins and who loses, in the end, still needs to stand on the court to decide the outcome, this is the greatest charm of competitive sports.
but!
Unacceptable!
Australian fans refused to accept that it was enough to make them angry and upset that Gawain defeated Nadal unexpectedly and moved on. Did Gawain have to win one more match? Regardless of the final result, the thought that they would have to endure Gawain's match, one more match, was torture.
Can't stand it! Australian fans firmly believe that Murray can stop Gawain's momentum:
Firstly, Murray is in better shape than Nadal, and the Australian Open venue is also more friendly to Murray.
Secondly, it is unimaginable to continuously face the consumption of giants.
Thirdly, Gawain lost the only match against Murray. After Gawain defeated Nadal unexpectedly, Murray must have been on high alert.
Judging from all the signs, Murray is the more favored party.

Even so! Australian fans still couldn't stand the "slightest possibility of Gowen advancing to the finals". They even felt their stomachs burning as they watched the social networks busy discussing the matter. They expressed strong dissatisfaction with the news media's gloating and fanning the flames, and took action.
Help!
Even just imagining seeing Gao Wen's appearance on the final stage is breathtaking.
So, Australian fans rarely stood on Djokovic's side and started a confrontation.
Objectively speaking, although Djokovic is currently tied with Federer and Agassi as the male singles player with the most Australian Open titles in the Open era, Djokovic has never been a favorite of Melbourne fans.
Not only is he behind the two kings Federer and Nadal, even Murray, who has yet to reach the top in Melbourne, is as popular as Djokovic. After all, Australia is also a member of the Commonwealth.
But this time, it was a rare sight to see local fans cheering for Djokovic; at the same time, they also cheered for Gawain's semi-final opponent Murray.
To be precise, they are not supporting Djokovic, but rejecting Gao Wen.
Use all your strength.
It is hard to imagine that they can dislike a player so deeply and so intensely, even to the point of hating him.
Judging from the direction of media opinion, an ominous premonition seems to be brewing, and the local fans are trying every means to prevent this possibility. If asking the witch for help can be useful, I am afraid that some fans will nod without hesitation at this time.
The home fans, united as never before.'
Then--
Boom! The discussion became even more heated, with more and more people from around the world and local communities focusing on Melbourne. Professional tennis has not felt this kind of heat for a long time.
Even! Even women's competitions are no exception.
Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova both advanced to the semifinals, and the semifinal matchup further intensified the "new and old showdown" in women's professional tennis:
Serena Williams will face fellow American player Keys, while Sharapova will face her Russian compatriot Makarova.
In other words, both matches are civil wars in the same country. Before the final showdown, they need to first defeat the impact from their compatriots.
The topicality is no less than that of the men's competition.
