Tiafoe smiled brightly, showing off his teeth like a model in a toothpaste ad, "I wish you good luck and hope you can continue to advance. In this case, my exit in the first round will not be so embarrassing. I will proudly tell my friends
,hey, I lost to the final champion.”
"how do you feel?"
Gao Wen pursed his lips, showing an awkward expression on his face, "The pressure is too great, I can't bear it."
Tiafoe burst out laughing, "Haha, hahaha." The hearty laughter hit Gawain's eardrums, deafening, "Brother, you can do it, I believe you can."
Then, his expression changed slightly, showing seriousness, and he said with a sincere attitude, "I really believe this. After all, you have just defeated the world's number one for the next ten years, you should have more confidence in yourself."
Gao Wen raised his eyebrows slightly, "So, the number one in the world in the next ten years will be best at clay soil?"
Tiafoe:......
Rarely, Tiafoe didn't have the awkward expression at all. His smile froze at the corner of his mouth. He opened his mouth, but was unable to speak.
"Haha." This time, it was Gawain's turn to laugh out loud, leaning forward and backward, overwhelmed with joy.
In reality, it can be felt in the tour that Gao Wen has friends all over the world, including many new generation players, and his private friendship is really good.
"Sorry, this reporter, could you please correct your wording and tone, okay?"
Asians do generally look young, with average baby faces. Even if they are thirty years old, they are still suspected of being underage when entering bars in the United States.
Because the two are good friends, and because they are both representatives of the new generation, both emerged at the US Open last year. Although the subsequent development curves are different, it does not prevent people from comparing the two players together——
Especially when Raonic is absent due to injury, Dimitrov is in a sluggish season, and Gao Wen has just defeated another young "post-95" in the first round, this long-awaited duel will win more
Attention.
It seems that the two players facing today should be friends in private——
"But who can refuse great blessings?"
"You say it like this, as if I am a veteran who has been on tour for ten years. There is a young player on the left and a young player on the right. I am also a young player, okay? The last time I confirmed my birth date, I remembered that I should
You are still young, do we have any misunderstandings?"
This is not only the first time that Gao Wen has stepped onto the Roland Garros stage in his career; some of the rounds between Gao Wen and Tiafoe at the end of the game were indeed very entertaining, and the back-and-forth confrontation also showed many sparks. In the end, Gao Wen
Wen still stood firm, overcame the difficulties, and successfully ended the fight in three sets.
boom--
"Do you have any thoughts on playing against young players?"
As Gao Wen said, people have almost forgotten that he is also a "post-95", younger than Raonic, Dimitrov and Tim.
This year's Australian Open, Gao Wen really stood on the opposite side of the world, relying on his own strength to fight against the entire home court. The "seven-point chaos" is still the most shocking moment of this year's season, and has been selected by countless professional tennis media as the current
The most humiliating and worst moment of the season so far.
Thinking carefully about Tiafoe's performance in the game, reporters couldn't help but nod in agreement:
"...Ha, no, Dafu and I only met in Paris."
"In addition, so far, you have remained undefeated against players born after 1990. Obviously, Dominica will be another challenge. What are your prospects for this game? Will you make any special preparations?
?”
Finally, it’s about to be staged!
"ha!"
Subsequently, the media asked some questions related to the game:
This unusual response once again made the press conference burst into laughter.
Gawain teased Tiafoe in this way.
"Dominic Thiem defeated Aljaz-Bedene in four sets to advance to the second round. This also means that you are about to face your good friend Dominic. In the past two weeks, he has shown great performance.
The state of competition, how do you feel about this?"
No words or explanations are needed, the audience can deeply feel the joyful atmosphere on the court and the entertainment effect continues until the end.
From the moment the draw came out, the potential second-round matchup between Gao Wen and Thiem attracted much attention.
Originally, Gao Wen was supposed to be the younger generation who had an impact on other players, but now he is repeatedly placed in a higher position. The whole context is a bit funny.
After regretting missing the opportunity to meet in the second round of Monte Carlo, Thiem finally seized the opportunity.
"He is like a mascot. He easily wins everyone's love in the players' restaurant and, of course, on the training ground. He is very popular."
finally!
Gawain gave a surprising answer, and then the conversation changed.
As a result, the reporter who asked the question responded, "Maybe, Gao Wen, we need to confirm your birth certificate. Are you sure you were not born after 2000?"
Did Gawain and Tiafoe have a relationship in the past?
This is an interesting thing.
Gawain showed a smile and burst out laughing, his eyes full of smiles.
As soon as you hear it, you know that Gao Wen is connoting Melbourne.
And then--
The reporter did the opposite. Not only did he not make fun of Gawain's "oldness", but he also continued to complain about Gawain's "youngness"——
The whole audience burst into laughter.
really!
Usually, judging from social networks, all the "post-90s" and "post-95s" new generations seem to target Gao Wen and are gearing up to defeat Gao Wen Jitian.
"To be honest, when the draw came out, I was a little worried. Obviously, he is the one that the audience and players like more, which makes me easily fall into a disadvantageous position, but if I think about it seriously, well, in this scene I
It’s familiar, it seems like it’s not the first time, so I accepted it calmly.”
Looking back after the game, it was a different feeling.
So, what is the truth?
This issue was also mentioned at the post-match press conference. Obviously, reporters were curious about:
"Gawain, five minutes ago, a game on Court No. 7 ended, and your opponent in the next round has officially been announced."
It seems that ATP has another mascot to entertain the public, but I don’t know what heights Tiafoe can reach in the future and whether it is worth paying attention to.
However, Gawain shrugged calmly, "Don't worry, I was not born in Hawaii."
……Hahaha!
Such a scene is really rare. Although Gao Wen was under tremendous pressure when he came to Roland Garros this time, and most of it came from the media, it can still be seen that Gao Wen is slowly conquering media reporters and Australians.
Compared with the Internet, the situation has changed slightly.
Laughing like thunder——
A certain "Guanhai" classmate who was born in Hawaii was repeatedly questioned because of his birth certificate during the 2008 election campaign. This has obviously become a well-known joke around the world.
But I didn't expect that Gao Wen would respond in such a way. The press conference room paused for a second, and was stunned for a moment, and then——
Ha ha!
The press conference was so lively that even the players and staff passing by in the corridor couldn't help but stop and stare at the commotion in front of them with dumbfounded eyes:
