"The two seasons on clay and grass are closely linked, and there is almost no time to adjust. After Roland Garros, Wimbledon is coming. The players are busy preparing for the competition, and our lives also need to adjust accordingly."
"He shared some of their experiences to see if he could help."
Gao Wen was very surprised to see Gao Hongli and Sebastian chatting happily. He asked Gao Hongli what they were discussing. Gao Hongli gave an unexpected answer, but there was only one question mark in Gao Wen's mind:
When did they become friends?
However, this is a good thing.
Until now, Gao Hongli and Jiang Yanyun have not accompanied Gao Wen in global competitions. They have always tried to maintain their own lives and avoid revolving around Gao Wen. They will only appear in the player's box to play a supporting role during the Grand Slam.
It is precisely because of this that they have almost no friends in the tour. From Melbourne to Paris, their life scope has always been limited to the team. If Graf hadn't brought the children to join them, their life would have been boring.
Now, they have finally stepped out of their comfort zones and started making friends.
It can be seen that Gao Hongli is very happy, and they are slowly beginning to adapt to Gao Wen's ATP competition life, so they don't have to worry about being bored in the future.
At the post-match press conference, media reporters were also particularly concerned about the follow-up developments of Gao Wen’s family.
"...Excuse me, what are your plans for the next itinerary?"
Gao Wen looked innocent, "What schedule? Have the arrangements for the semi-finals been announced?"
The reporter who asked the question didn't respond at first, thinking that Gao Wen was forgetful, so he reminded him again, "The wine trip, you said that your family booked the trip but had to postpone it because you kept winning..."
Halfway through, he saw the excited expression on Gawain's face, and the reporter suddenly reacted, slowed down for a moment, and suddenly realized.
"...Oh, you've already canceled it, right?"
Seeing the reporter's embarrassing expression, the whole audience burst into laughter——
Since Gao Wen has now entered the semi-finals, it also means that the end of the competition is not far away, so there is no essential difference one day earlier and one day later. Family trips can be canceled and rebooked.
What's more, the top four!
Now that Gawain has advanced to the semi-finals, have they missed some point?
"Gaowen, you have said more than once before that Nadal is the favorite to win. Now that you have defeated Nadal and have reached the semi-finals, do you think you are the favorite? If not, who do you think is the favorite?
?”
After advancing to the semi-finals, the door to the finals is already close at hand. Obviously, this is the key point, okay?
Family travel can wait.
The smile on the corner of Gawain's mouth rose slightly, his eyes were clear and his expression was firm.
"No, I still don't think I'm the favorite to win."
Huh!
At the scene, everyone gasped. What was really surprising was not Gawain's answer, but Gawain's tone and expression, which did not look like modesty.
"But it would be too hypocritical if I said that when I was showering in the locker room, when I was getting a massage in the physiotherapy room, when other players and staff were congratulating me, I didn't think about the scene of winning the championship.
I don’t even buy it myself.”
"In fact, when I entered the press conference room and saw the packed scene in front of me, my heartbeat skipped a beat. I couldn't help but imagine what it would be like four days later, and then my goosebumps screamed like crazy. I hope
You didn’t see through it.”
Haha, hahahaha!
The whole room burst into laughter.
Gawain's relaxed and humorous tone once again solved a difficult problem and firmly grasped the initiative in his hands.
Then, the conversation changed.
"At this moment, what I want to say is that I just finished a fierce match. I just defeated a great champion. Believe me, it is not easy. It is even more difficult than what you have seen. Even now,
I can still feel that the boiling blood has not cooled down."
"This is Roland Garros, this is Philippe Chatier, and across the net from me is Rafael Nadal. Even just the chance to win such a duel is an honor for me. I
I believe this should be a dream matchup that countless professional players dream of."
reporter:???
Jaw-dropping.
If they remember correctly, the last time they confirmed the feelings of ATP players, during the clay court season, everyone was afraid to avoid Nadal when they saw him. Absolutely no one wanted to face Nadal at Roland Garros, absolutely! Including the other three
Including a giant, you can feel the pressure just by seeing Nadal's name on his path in the lottery.
However, Gawain rose to the challenge, his bright eyes flashing with anticipation and excitement. Is this a sign of masochism?
Can't understand.
Gawain's smile remained the same, his face was full of sincerity, and you could even see the curvature of the corners of his mouth rising a little.
"Before entering the game, I told myself that you need to keep all your energy on the court, give it your all, and fight until the last point and the last moment without any reservation."
"Then, I hope that when the game is over, I can stand upright in front of Rafa, face another champion with the mentality of a champion, and tell him that this was a battle worth remembering and that I did not leave any
It’s a pity, I enjoyed every minute of standing on the court and fighting.”
"So, I did this."
"I believe this is more important than victory or defeat. At the same time, it is also a way for a young fan who looks up to Rafa to express his respect and respect."
"I'm glad I stuck to my plan."
Calm and calm.
Sincerity and enthusiasm.
Although Gawain's words did not directly praise Nadal, there were no polite words and greetings, nor the familiar compliments and praises, but between the lines, one can deeply feel the energy bursting out from the depths of his soul, so pure and so
Enthusiasm and express the highest respect.
Indeed, this bond, this energy, has transcended victory and defeat. It interprets different levels of brilliance in competitive sports arenas, especially in Roland Garros, a clay court that demonstrates tenacity and will. It shows that tennis is completely different.
Different charms become extremely real at this moment.
Heavy, pressing on my chest.
The whole place was completely silent.
The reporters watched Gao Wen quietly, without any rhetoric or rhetoric, but they could feel the different atmosphere flowing in the press conference room.
Involuntarily, the reporters remembered that after the game, Gao Wen walked to the other side of the court, opened his arms, and hugged Nadal sincerely and enthusiastically. The two sympathetic opponents just stood there hugging each other tightly, sharing their moments.
, lighting up the Stade Philippe-Chatier.
Originally, the reporters wanted to ask the two parties what they shared during the hug after the game, but now, it is no longer important.
Gawain in front of him has already given the answer.
There was a small pause, and then you could see the smile on Gawain's lips twitching slightly——
"Of course, I also enjoy winning. Please don't get me wrong, I enjoy winning very, very much. I am very lucky that I can win."
