Silence, hugs, thousands of words, but all in silence.
Gawain seemed to be able to feel the weight and power conveyed by Wawrinka's body language. The turbulent emotions crashed down like a stormy sea. His voice paused slightly in his throat and was a little hoarse, but he quickly recovered.
The smile appeared again.
"Brother, keep going! Keep going!"
One sentence is enough——
For Wawrinka, the game is still not over, there is still the final.
Gao Wen knew that from the perspective of professionals and fans, they always believed that the favorites should be in the top half, but he did not think so.
Especially after going through this battle.
Gao Wen believes that if Wawrinka can continue to maintain his superb form, then Wawrinka will have a chance in the finals, whether against Djokovic or Murray. Although he cannot set foot in the finals, he still
I sincerely send my best wishes to Wawrinka.
A simple sentence, but as important as a thousand words.
Wawrinka's shoulders were slightly heavier. He could feel Gao Wen's sincerity, placing the burden of competing for the championship and winning the challenge on him. This was the best compliment from his opponent. He patted Gao Wen again.
Wen's back was so clumsy that he didn't know how to speak.
"I will."
Wawrinka said.
Then the two finally let go of their arms and showed some courtesy. Gawain smiled at Wawrinka and said, "I won't be humble this time."
According to the rules, the losing side shakes hands first. This is the custom. That's why Gawain said this.
Wawrinka saw that Gawain had not forgotten to joke, and he also laughed.
Gao Wen took the lead to go to the referee, shook hands, turned back to the players' dugout, and quickly packed his luggage.
Maybe, he lost this semi-final, but he gained confidence and belief:
On clay, at Roland Garros, he can still look forward to his future, and the prospect of continuing to challenge himself is gradually becoming clearer.
So, he will leave with hope.
Putting his equipment bag on his back, Gao Wen stepped forward and turned to leave. At this moment, a round of applause burst out from the Philippe Chartier Stadium, and the cheers gradually increased.
Gawain immediately realized that the Paris audience was sending him off in this way. He smiled and waved to express his gratitude——
There is no doubt that the past two weeks have been wonderful memories worth a thousand dollars.
However!
The cheers and applause were still rising slowly, but in the blink of an eye they twisted into a rope, and finally turned into a roaring mountain and tsunami, rolling down like thunder.
"Bah! Gawain!"
"Bah! Gawain!"
I don’t know who started it, but it soon formed a wave covering the entire venue, shaking the Philippe-Chartier venue like a violent storm.
Gawain paused as he was preparing to leave. He obviously did not expect such a situation. He raised his head and looked around. Looking at the sea of people standing up and applauding, raising their arms and shouting, thousands of thoughts came to his mind.
This is his moment.
Including Wawrinka, including the reporters, including the entire audience, everyone was applauding and cheering for the highest respect in history.
"...God, the Stade Philippe-Chatier is honoring Gawain."
In the commentary box, Zhan Jun and Hu Litao, the commentary commentators of CCTV 5, stared at such a magnificent scene in front of them with dumbfounded eyes.
Zhan Jun could hardly believe his eyes——
After winning consecutive championships at the US Open and Australian Open, Gao Wen has become the number one idol in competitive sports in mainland China and is in the limelight.
When coming to the French Open this time, CCTV also carefully considered it. After all, Gao Wen is not good at clay court, and it is not impossible to be eliminated in the first round. In addition, the women's side is facing a competition crisis, which means that their reporting team may have to return in the first week.
The government needs to weigh and consider.
In the end, CCTV sent a live broadcast team that was basically the same as the Australian Open, not more but not less. They stepped onto the stage of Roland Garros with some trepidation and doubts.
However, they did not expect that Gao Wen would unexpectedly break into the semi-finals again, extend his Grand Slam winning streak to 19 games, and catch them off guard again, so much so that the team could not help but marvel.
, how many surprises does Gawain have left?
On the front line, Zhan Jun and Hu Litao witnessed all the way, and words were simply not enough to describe their shock and joy.
But at this time.
The shock actually reached a new level.
The most picky, demanding and troublesome French audience is welcoming Gawain's departure with unparalleled noble treatment.
Zhan Jun was so excited that when he spoke, he was inevitably a little excited, and the words trembled slightly on the tip of his tongue.
"They are grateful to Gao Wen and Wawrinka for bringing such a wonderful game. It is undoubtedly the best and most exciting game at this year's French Open."
"They are grateful to Gao Wen for his unparalleled magical performance in the past two weeks and once again used practical actions to prove that they deserve to be ranked second in the world."
"They are also grateful to Gao Wen for his incredible career debut. Starting from his debut at the US Open in 2014, Gao Wen has created countless miracles along the way:
Nineteen consecutive wins in the Grand Slam, including two Grand Slam championships and a Grand Slam semi-final; seventeen consecutive wins in the Masters, including three championship trophies, and broke the Big Four's ten-year rivalry with a sudden appearance.
Dominated by the top two in the world, undoubtedly the strongest rookie of all time.”
"In just ten months, Gao Wen wrote too many miracles and brilliance. He left a lasting mark with his fighting spirit, tenacity, tenacity and strength."
"Now, Gawain's winning streak in the Grand Slam has finally come to an end. This is unprecedented and probably very, very difficult for others to do after that. With such a soul-stirring game in Roland Garros, a player who has shown his perseverance and determination.
It is really exciting to end such a debut performance at a venue where tenacity can create a championship halo."
"The Stade Philippe-Chartier is paying tribute in their own way."
Zhan Jun became uncontrollably impassioned and turned to look at his partner, only to find that Hu Litao did not speak, but was just watching the scene in front of him quietly.
Zhan Jun understands, he completely understands.
Li Na did not receive such treatment back then. Similarly, Serena Williams, Sharapova, Djokovic, etc. did not receive such treatment. Even Nadal did not enjoy such treatment until this year and truly won.
It received the heartfelt love and support from the Paris audience.
And now, applause and cheers are ringing for Gawain——
Because of this game, because of the three consecutive games against Tsonga, Nadal, and Wawrinka, and because Gao Wen drew a temporary end to his dark horse journey that suddenly emerged and shone around the world at the Philippe-Chatier Stadium.
At the end of the day, the mighty ten-month long march finally came to an end here.
Perhaps Gao Wen's status and mass base in the ATP have not reached such a high level, but the glory and magnificence of this journey are obvious to all.
Who can refuse?
So, at this moment, no need to think too much, just enjoy the party.
