The overwhelming news headlines on social networks are really horrifying. Even though the North American Series kicked off with great fanfare, the world's attention was all focused on the first stop, Atlanta. In comparison, the one-stop challenge was not worthy of attention at all, but I didn't expect it.
Hot topics are hotly debated.
The melon-eating people fanned the flames one by one, watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously.
However, for the two parties involved, it had no impact at all.
Gawain's words were just a topic in passing. No one paid attention to what happened to this unknown young man. Only a small number of interested people noticed that the name "Gao" looked like a Chinese name; as for Tobias, anyway, he
There was no abnormality revealed, and Gawain's performance as usual did not allow Gawain to smell anything strange.
Zverev, on the other hand, didn't care at all. He could vaguely feel some commotion in his team, but after asking, his agent intercepted all negative news and just told him that some media were paying attention to Binghamton.
, these attentions and pressures are simply daily life for little Zverev, and he turns around and forgets them.
Therefore, when the second match day kicked off, neither player felt anything unusual. Everything was calm and the game was the focus.
Gao Wen's opponent in the second round was an American player, Austin-Krajicek, who was also from the NCAA and came from Texas A&M University, a traditional football school.
Krajicek was born in 1990. He has a world-famous cousin, Richard-Krajicek, who won the 1996 Wimbledon Tennis Championships and was also the first in Dutch history.
The first Grand Slam champion and the highest ranking in the world was fourth.
Austin's talent is not as good as his cousin, but he also made history in the NCAA arena.
Krajicek won the doubles championship in the National Championship in his senior year, which was also the first tennis championship in the history of Texas A&M University, but he ended his college career just before Gao Wen enrolled.
, I have been working hard in the professional arena for the past year, but have not been able to make a breakthrough yet.
Krajicek's overall height and body shape are smaller than Gawain's. His running ability is very good, but his baseline skills are relatively rough. His hitting technique, rotation, control, etc. are all unsatisfactory. He basically just hits the ball with all his strength and uses tactical routines.
Relatively simple; the relative advantage lies in excellent Internet skills and the courage to surf the Internet.
In the contemporary professional arena where the bottom line is king, there are fewer and fewer serving and netting players. They are as rare as pandas, but there are still a small number of them.
Although it was the second round of the match, both sides had already gone through a round of tests and were obviously more capable; but Krajicek was an easier opponent for Gawain than Kokkinakis.
Of course, it is a professional game anyway, and any opponent needs to take it seriously; moreover, the fact that Geelong lost the game against a veteran challenger yesterday is still fresh in his mind, and Gao Wen will not take it lightly. The final score is——
"6:4", "6:2".
Although the first set was a little stalemate, the rhythm and intensity of professional games are still obviously different from those in the NCAA. Gao Wen still needs more games to adapt and it took some time; but overall, he did not encounter too many challenges and easily won the two games.
The opponent advanced to the third round, and the entire match lasted sixty-seven minutes.
Bubu's strong performance proved that he had established a firm footing, and his comeback victory over Kokkinakis in the first round was not luck.
At the end of the game, when Gao Wen left the stadium, he could see a crowd of reporters at the exit, all aiming their guns and cannons at him, as if they were waiting patiently.
who?
Who are they waiting for? Is it Krajicek? After all, he has a Grand Slam champion cousin.
Just when Gawain's head was full of question marks, the flashbulb came to him with a loud click, and a silver light poured down, making him dizzy in an instant.
Before Gawain could react, someone beside him pulled his arm, and he had already left the surging crowd and arrived at a small corner next to the stadium.
"John?"
My eyes slightly adjusted to the impact of the lack of flash, and then I saw clearly that it was Tobias in front of me.
Tobias did not exchange greetings with Gawain. He directly whispered into his ear and explained the situation, explaining Zverev's remarks and the reaction of the online news media. Then he distanced himself and looked at Gawain, with a slight look in his eyes.
Somewhat nervous.
"Can you handle it?"
Gawain was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled, patted Tobias on the shoulder, and walked out again without saying anything, preparing to welcome the storm of reporters.
Instead, Tobias stood there, paused for a moment, and raised the corners of his mouth.
Yesterday, Tobias learned the news immediately, but it was a big or small matter, and it seemed too grand to say it formally, and it was hard to explain clearly even if he mentioned it casually. He thought about it over and over again, in order to avoid affecting Gawain.
After all, the state of the game was still unspoken.
When today's game was going on, Tobias was watching the game in the players' box, and he immediately noticed the rush of reporters——
beyond expectation.
In fact, Tobias was a little annoyed. He did not expect the reporter's reaction to be so intense.
According to common sense, reporters should focus on little Zverev, and then pay attention to Gao Wen. This kind of attention is just right. Tobias does not want reporters to pay attention to Gao Wen prematurely.
Wen, there is really no need to make too much fuss during the challenge stage to avoid adding unnecessary off-site pressure.
The results of it?
The results of it!
Tobias even wondered whether Zverev's agent was trying to shift the focus and divert reporters to Gawain.
Tobias was very dissatisfied with his error in judgment, which was his dereliction of duty as an agent.
But now looking at the calm and calm Gawain, Tobias couldn't help but laugh. How could he forget that psychological quality is one of Gawain's most important strengths? Maybe such a thing may have an impact on other players.
mood, but to Gawain it was just a sprinkle of water.
In this room, Gawain had already walked towards the reporter again, and then came back again. Then the flashbulbs fell overwhelmingly again, and the sweat on the surface of his skin became hot again. In an instant, he seemed to be in the center of the universe, and all the eyes of the world were gathered.
Every pore can feel the heat wave.
Gurgling.
Gurgling.
"Sasha", "Impressions", "Dark Horse", "Ignore", "Victory", "Competition", "Confidence", "Anonymous"... The rolling sound waves came over overwhelmingly, but it was impossible to distinguish the complete sentences, even
There are not even words, just syllables one after another overlapping and colliding with each other.
In the end, it evolved into a sound of "ahhhhh" and "ohhhhhh", plus a face with its mouth wide open. From the visual effect, it looks like a group of nestling birds waiting for food.
