Whether your grades are good or bad, you need to consider the reference -
A student who was at the bottom of the class every day suddenly improved ten places. Even if he was still tenth from the bottom, it was already an exciting growth.
A student who was ranked first in the next grade would occasionally perform abnormally and fall to the third grade. Even though his performance was still excellent, it was still disappointing.
Expectation value, that's what it is.
The same is true for Gawain——
Judging from reports and comments from major news media, people are expecting him to perform even better and even subvert the existing pattern of men's tennis.
Whether it’s the “fifth pole” or the “new giant”; whether it’s the “leader of the new generation” or “the representative of the Challenger Alliance”, the title is not important. What’s important is that expectations and standards have risen to a new level. Looking forward to it
Only if Gawain can show a more dominant performance.
As a result, the performance in the clay court season was not satisfactory. Although he won the Barcelona championship, he failed to reach the finals of the three Masters tournaments.
As you can imagine——
Those scoundrels who had always disliked Gawain and were picky in every possible way could make trouble at any time, not to mention that now, they finally found an opportunity and finally got evidence.
It spreads vigorously and comprehensively on social networks.
A storm of criticism came over me.
The pressure also gradually accumulated.
In this regard, Gao Wen's fans appeared to be very positive and optimistic, seeing positive meanings amid the attacks:
Those black men are demanding Gawain with the level and performance of a giant. Does this mean that although they are unwilling to admit it and have tried their best to deny it, deep down, they also agree that Gawain must perform at the level of a giant now.
To meet the reality?
"The mouth is too straight for the body."
"It's okay, it's okay. We all know and understand. In fact, you already think that Gawain is a giant, but you are just too ashamed to admit it."
"It's not a problem at all not to admit it with your mouth. Actions have proven everything. We believe that Gao Wen will repay this trust with his performance on the field."
It can be seen at this time that fans/fans really follow their idols, and Gao Wen fans also show high quality and wisdom, and accurately grasp the lifeline.
Suddenly, supporters and opponents started a tit-for-tat debate again, and the frenzy of pressure from social networks remained high.
And this is not all the pressure, it is just one aspect of the dilemma.
On the other hand, it is expectations.
In fact, in essence, pressure and expectations are two sides of a dilemma. One is presented in a negative way, and the other is presented in a positive way, but in the end it is the same thing, and finally condenses into a tight dark cloud.
, firmly shrouding Gawain's head.
It is an objective fact that Gauvin has won two consecutive Grand Slam championships. Whether people like it or not, this is a fact that cannot be ignored.
Naturally, when the Grand Slam moment comes again, people will definitely list Gao Wen as the favorite to win, and start related discussions in a grand manner——
Can Gao Wen win three consecutive Grand Slam championships and continue to write history?
Furthermore, whether Gao Wen can achieve the feat of winning four consecutive Grand Slams to complete the Grand Slam. Although it is still a bit far away from the goal of "Annual Grand Slam", if he can reach the French Open, then the history of the New Year's Grand Slam will be
The time is just around the corner, are you sure you don't want to discuss it?
Can Gao Wen reach the top of the French Open, accomplish a feat that Djokovic and Murray have not been able to achieve so far, and join the ranks of Federer and Nadal?
Don’t forget, so far, Gao Wen has won three out of five sets in the Grand Slams in his career and still maintains a complete victory. How long can this record be maintained at the French Open?
Expectation! Expectation! Still expecting!
History! History! History again!
Before the French Open is about to kick off, this is a fact that no one can ignore, whether they like it or hate it, but this is an ironclad fact.
Of course, there are still variables in everything, which is also the source of controversy——
Judging from the performance so far in the clay court season, Gao Wen has not been able to establish his own dominance. Perhaps as the first clay court season of his career, Gao Wen has delivered a good answer; but is this enough?
How about reaching the French Open?
A big question mark needs to be placed.
However, from another perspective, this year may be the best opportunity.
The reason is very simple. The "King of Clay" Nadal is experiencing the worst clay court season of his career, and his condition has never been at his best.
This is no longer a secret, but a fact that everyone knows, but Nadal is Nadal. Every year he comes to Roland Garros, he is always able to improve his level, not just on clay. When he steps on
When I went to Roland Garros, it seemed like it had magic.
Throughout Nadal's career, he has indeed shown strong dominance on clay, but the surface where he performed best has always been Roland Garros.
No wonder people half-jokingly say that maybe after Nadal retires, this venue should not be called Roland Garros, but Rafael Nadal.
So, never underestimate Nadal, especially at Roland Garros.
After the Rome Masters ended, major media outlets listed a list of favorites to win, and sports betting companies also gave winning odds.
Currently, Djokovic leads the way with an absolute advantage.
The two Masters champions in Monte Carlo and Rome, defeated Nadal and Federer respectively on the way to the championship. Both the quantity and quality of championships have withstood the test; moreover, he is the only two players this year to remain undefeated in the clay court season.
, the condition and feel have reached their peak.
At the same time, Djokovic is the only player who can challenge Nadal on clay in the past three years. Even if Nadal has been in good form in the past two years, he has been able to defeat Nadal at least once on clay every year, achieving what Federer did.
There was nothing he could do at his peak.
As people say, Djokovic is now inferior to one person and ten thousand people on clay, and is only half a step away from winning the French Open.
This year, Nadal is in poor form, and there is no doubt that Djokovic's championship index has skyrocketed.
Subsequently, the names of Murray, Federer, Nadal and Gauvin were lined up. Although the odds were higher and lower, overall they were almost the same.
Murray, champion of Munich and Madrid and in the top 16 in Rome, also maintained an unbeaten clay court season this year and came from behind to become the second favorite to win.
Federer, the champion of Istanbul, although both Monta Carlo and Madrid stopped early, Rome reached the final and still showed good form.
Nadal, Madrid final, Monte Carlo semi-finals, Rome semi-finals, Barcelona semi-finals, objectively speaking, such results are not bad, but like Gao Wen, vertical comparison is needed. This is obviously not the "clay court" people expected.
King's performance was the worst in Nadal's career.
Despite this, when it comes to the French Open, Nadal is still the favorite. There is no doubt about it. The difference is that this time he is no longer the number one favorite.
At the same time, Gawain's name quietly appeared in the forefront.
