"I respect the result of the game, but Gawain is a clown."
At the post-match press conference, the reporter had just asked what happened in the post-match handshake, and little Zverev couldn't wait to start firing.
Wow!
The reporters at the scene were very eye-opening, one or two were gearing up, compared to the difficult Gawain, they liked such an unabashed straight face.
"After shaking hands after the game, Gao Wen tried to humiliate me and asked me to try harder next time. I couldn't believe it. This was a little respect from him for his young opponent."
"I respect today's game and I respect what he has achieved, but off the court, I cannot regard him as a champion."
with full force!
More importantly, this is not all. There is no need for reporters to ask. Zverev continued talking like beans from a bamboo tube.
"Just now in the locker room, I was sitting obediently in my corner, summarizing the game. As a result, Gao Wen came to me, made a gangster hip-hop gesture towards me, and at the same time made a grimace, and made a scornful heckle.
'YA...Yaaaaaaaaa...' Show off your power."
"I can not believe it!"
"I was just stunned. I was sitting in my seat, shaking. I didn't know what was happening. I was afraid of what might happen next."
boom!
The entire press conference hall immediately exploded——
Heavy!
Absolutely heavy!
Like football and basketball, the locker room of tennis is also full of mystery. Although it is not a team sport, all the players gather in a locker room, and players of different personalities, types, and edges collide together, and there are also competitions.
The spark of victory and defeat.
It is conceivable that there must be many stories happening in the locker room, especially among the female players, and the intrigues outside the court are absolutely exciting.
But there seems to be a tacit understanding among the players to avoid breaking the news about the situation in the locker room as much as possible, otherwise it will affect the whole body.
Today, little Zverev finally broke the taboo. However, the first reaction in the minds of reporters at the scene was-
Really?
Little Zverev is talking about... Gawain? Are you sure?
Here, a brief background needs to be stated.
Not too long, not too short. It has been a year since little Zverev entered the professional arena. Reporters have dealt with him quite a few times, so they know him well.
There is no doubt about the talent and ability of this young genius. Everyone has seen it. Naturally, expectations are rising. But so far, little Zverev seems to have not been able to show the style of a talented boy. The best competition is the two games in his hometown of Hamburg.
The semi-finals of the 150th competition.
Every time Zverev Jr. fails to live up to expectations, he often attracts more media attention, not to mention that other new generations are also constantly emerging.
Therefore, Zverev always has many reasons after losing:
Complain about the venue, complain about the weather, complain about injuries, complain about referees, complain about luck, complain about spectators, complain about food...etc.
To put it simply, there are always "objective reasons" for losing, not his own "subjective reasons". The subtext is that if there were no such objective reasons, he would definitely be able to win.
Such behavior once or twice may be a coincidence, but three times, four times, five times and countless times, just like a child herding sheep, no one will buy it.
It is obvious that little Zverev is shirking responsibility and refusing to admit his failure. On the one hand, his heart is as high as the sky, and on the other hand, his life is as thin as paper.
A similar situation has been going on for more than a year, and the media has long been tired of seeing it.
At this time, come again?
Moreover, the target of Zverev's accusation was Gawain.
sure?
For more than half a year, Gao Wen has always been at the forefront of the storm, surrounded by the media's bombardment, pursuit and interception. Although the media hate Gao Wen every time they face him, they must also admit that this is not easy.
, and Gawain's handling is not only mature but also wise.
When you should show off your edge, do it without hesitation; when you should be humble and low-key, be sincere and sincere.
In the face of victory, be neither arrogant nor impatient, but full of confidence; in the face of failure, be calm but maintain fighting spirit.
And not just in front of reporters?
From the Big Four to Kei Nishikori, Wawrinka and other Mesozoic players, to Raonic, Dimitrov and other new generations, they are well-known.
Perhaps, privately, Gawain also has his own temper and edges. This is 100% certain, but the point is that Gawain always knows how to exercise discretion.
Just like today.
The reporters continued to find faults, but they also admitted that Gao Wen's "little prank" during the post-game handshake session was just right and had entertainment effects.
But!
Such a Gawain is like an eight-year-old boy in the locker room, making childish and brilliant faces to show off his victory?
Zverev, is this serious?
Even if Gawain really played a prank, isn't this method too clever? It doesn't fit the character.
Buzz…
After little Zverev dropped the bombshell, the reporters at the scene all looked at each other, dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.
Seeing this scene in front of him, little Zverev became a little anxious. Why didn't they believe in him?
"I am not kidding!"
"My mother can testify."
Reporters: Yes, I believe your mother can 100% confirm your statement.
Then, a reporter finally raised his hand to ask a question, finding an entry point from this blockbuster news.
"Sasha, you're telling me that Gawain made faces at you to show off, and then you were trembling with fear?"
Zverev Jr.:……#@%&*!@#
The reporter's head was filled with question marks, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked another question.
"What I mean is that if Gao Wen threatens to use force, then you should declare it and ask ATP to intervene in the investigation. Any violent behavior is prohibited."
The reporter looked sincere and gave little Zverev a piece of advice.
Zverev Jr:…
I took a breath, my chest was tight, my cheeks were red, but I couldn't speak. It looked as if it might explode at any time, but in the end it drooped like a deflated balloon, and my excited face turned gray. After all, there was no
Say anything else.
What else could he say?
Did you say that Gawain threatened with force, so he trembled? Or did you say that Gawain only threatened with words, but he was trembling with fear?
Little Zverev looked at the reporter in front of him with aggrieved face.
"I'm only eighteen years old, why do you treat me like this? I don't know what I did wrong, I just want to play tennis well."
reporter:……
Is this guy in front of me playing the victim again? And then shifting the responsibility to reporters? Is this a repeat of the same old trick?
However, this trick does not work in front of reporters——
They are just a bunch of jackals with no sympathy.
Immediately afterwards, a reporter asked a question.
"Then let's talk about tennis. Today's match against Gao Wen, what do you think of your performance?"
"You were never able to find your form, and it didn't get exciting until the end of the game. But in the end, Gao Wen achieved the 'highest consumption' again. What do you think?"
Since you want to play tennis well, let's discuss tennis. This is benevolence, and a little care from reporters:
