Chapter 965 Witness Together
Boom boom boom! Thunder rumbled, mountains roared, and the entire Rod Laver Arena was like a volcano that was constantly erupting, releasing all the stored energy.
Earth-shattering.
Just when everyone had relaxed, after all, the climax had passed and the peak of the Huashan Sword Contest had been left in the fierce confrontation of the competition; but no one expected that this scene of the award ceremony would be the most memorable moment of Melbourne Park in 2015, bringing a perfect end to this year.
Exactly two weeks ago, Gawain faced Australian local player Kozienakis in the first round, kicking off his journey to his first Grand Slam tournament in 2015. However, very unexpectedly, it kicked off the battle of "Gawain VS Australia" and pushed it to a whole new height.
Until now.
Gao Wen, the young player who is only 19 years old, conquered the stadium with his unparalleled performance on the field and his elegant post-match remarks.
Now, it has finally come to a successful conclusion.
Tonight, the Rod Laver Arena was packed with 15,000 people, witnessing history.
The first player in history to win the Australian Open in his first appearance.
The first player in history to come back and win the Australian Open final after losing the first two sets.
The first player in history to remain undefeated in the first two Grand Slams of his career.
The first male player in history to win a second Grand Slam trophy back-to-back after winning his first.
The youngest Australian Open champion in history in the Open Era, at the age of 19 years and 82 days, broke the record of Swedish legend Mats-Wilaner who reached the championship in 1983 at the age of 19 years and 11 days.
Record and refresh the screen.
In addition, there are some records that are not the best in history but are also very, very important.
In the past decade, he is the only player to defeat three giants in a row in a best-of-five Grand Slam.
The second-youngest player ever to win two Grand Slam titles.
On the list of the youngest multiple Grand Slam champions, Germany's Boris Becker holds the age record for winning two Grand Slam titles at the age of 18 years, 201 days.
Swedish star Bjorn Borg holds the record for the age at which he won three Grand Slam titles, at 19 years, 333 days.
Another Swedish legend, Wilander, holds the age record for winning four Grand Slams at the age of 20 years, 291 days.
Success at a young age.
When it comes to genius, the Big Four have received countless praises, but unfortunately, they are not ranked. In the 1970s and 1980s, geniuses emerged, setting one record after another and creating incredible brilliance.
When Gawain suddenly appeared, it was a groundbreaking event. However, like the Big Four, he was still slightly inferior to his predecessors.
Although Gawain has no chance to break Becker's historical record, he still has a glimmer of hope as Borg won three Grand Slams and Wilander won four Grand Slams at the age of 18. After all, there are still three Grand Slam tournaments this year.
Data and records.
After listing them one by one, one can clearly feel the incredible and unbelievable victory tonight, and the fans and spectators at Rod Laver Arena are all witnesses.
Even if we put aside Gao Wen's identity as an Asian player, tonight's championship result has written a brilliant chapter in the history of professional tennis, breaking the shackles of time and once again writing a new miracle of professional players challenging themselves and breaking through their limits.
Such moments are enough to move people.
Who could refuse? Who was willing to refuse? So, when the Australian fans finally let down their guard and gave Gawain applause, this brilliant night was completely ignited.
Roar, waves.
No one is exempt and everyone joins in the carnival.
Perhaps, with one exception.
Serjan.
In Djokovic's player box, Serjan stubbornly refused to stand up and remained sitting upright in his chair with his eyes closed.
In fact, Djokovic's family and team all know that they should show their magnanimity at this moment and avoid being criticized by people for "not being able to afford to lose" because they can face the happiness of victory and also the bitterness of defeat. This is part of competitive sports.
However, Serjan refused.
Losing to old rivals like Federer and Nadal was fine, but what on earth was the point of losing to a young guy like Gao Wen?
This slap in the face really made him lose face. Losing the game in such a way and in such a venue was an unacceptable shame.
Rather than losing the game, it would be better to just strip him of his underwear.
Serjan couldn't bear to watch.
Seljan's first reaction was to turn around and leave the court, and go far away, wishing he could leave Melbourne and Australia tonight.
In the end, he was persuaded by his wife and daughter-in-law and was unable to leave.
Not only did he not leave the seat, he also refused to stand up and applaud. This was his last act of stubbornness.
He closed his eyes tightly, refusing to watch the award ceremony, refusing to acknowledge Gao Wen's championship, and refusing to acknowledge everything that was happening before his eyes.
However, the thunderous applause and cheers from the audience continued to bombard the audience, and even with closed eyes one could feel the heat waves in the air.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
This is a humiliation and even more of a contempt.
Seljan was about to explode. His arms, which were tightly crossed over his chest in a defensive posture, were completely tense, but he still had difficulty controlling his emotions.
Unfortunately... no one cares, no one even notices this corner. Even those gossiping eyes only stay there for a short while before moving away.
Because at this moment, all the spotlights are on Gawain.
This was Gawain's moment. He had no time or energy to pay attention to anything else. He was using his charm to put a final period to this night.
"at last."
“I want to be able to take a little time to thank my team.”
"Andre, thank you for being my coach and for resisting the urge to strangle Pete every day. I know it's not easy."
"And Steffi, thank you for coming to Melbourne to accompany me on this journey. Of course, the most important thing is to thank you for allowing Andre to come out and relax."
Hahaha.
"Martin, Pete, John, thank you for accompanying me on the practice field. Although I curse you every day, please believe me, I am sincerely grateful to you."
Hahaha.
The laughter can't be stopped, okay? "Finally, I want to formally thank my parents."
"Thank you for believing in me."
"besides--"
After a pause, Gao Wen smiled and spoke in familiar Chinese.
"Mom, I won the championship again."
There was a slight hint of pride in his eyes, but it was not annoying. The young man's high spirits were fully displayed at this moment. The word "again" became the finishing touch, and all the Chinese fans in the stadium went crazy.
Ahhhh.
Ah! Not only the players, but also the fans and spectators were exhausted after more than five hours of fierce battle. However, at this moment, the Chinese fans once again burst out with incredible energy and turned Rod Laver Arena into their home court.
The five-star red flag is fluttering in the wind.
Like fireworks blooming.
