"...Gawain, first of all, congratulations on your victory in this game. There is no doubt that this is a very exciting game. What I want to ask is, this is your first time stepping onto the Wimbledon court. Are you nervous?
Does it affect your performance? Has off-court pressure become an unknown factor in the game?"
"In addition, this game was arranged on Court No. 2. Did the rumors of seed graves become a distraction that affected your performance in the first two sets? But later, you still found a way to turn the situation around. For you, it was a turning point.
Where and how did you achieve the final reversal?"
At the post-match press conference, the questions from Chinese reporters were very professional and rational, and they were completely centered around the game.
Obviously, this is a good thing.
Gawain showed a slightly serious expression, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Wait, is this spying on the inside story of the locker room? I need to ask Pete if he can answer this question to avoid leaking personal information."
reporter:???
They looked at each other, and for a moment they were frightened by Gawain.
Yu Jia looked at the colleagues around him who were briefly shocked and stiff. He couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing: Obviously, there should be many novices gathered in the press conference hall today. They have never experienced Gao Wen's style.
Both of them were fooled, and the scene was definitely a classic.
This year at Wimbledon, not only Chinese faces, but reporters from all over the world have increased significantly. Familiar news agencies and sports media have also sent larger teams to London to report on the front line. Everyone can feel this.
The uniqueness and weight of a Wimbledon session.
Naturally, there were many fresh faces among the reporters who appeared in the press conference room, which was much more lively than Melbourne Park and Roland Garros.
This is also a beautiful sight at Wimbledon this year, once again adding a touch of brilliance to this century-old event.
Rustling, rustling...
There was a murmur of trivial snickering in the narrow space, and the veterans who were familiar with Gawain finally couldn't hold it back, and smiles crept up the corners of their mouths.
Then, Gawain coughed slightly and continued speaking seriously.
"But I thought, tennis is not football, we are not that strict about locker room secrets, so I should be able to share some inside secrets."
"Actually, after the game, Dennis and I had a fierce fight in the locker room. As you can imagine, I won."
If they still didn’t understand that Gawain was playing a prank at this time, then the reporters present might really need to confirm their “journalistic intuition”; however, they did not expect that Gawain’s prank would come so easily, without warning or sign.
As a result, it was easy to be fooled.
Looking at the depressed, stunned, helpless or funny faces in front of him, the corners of Gawain's mouth slightly raised, releasing the seal, laughter surged deep in his throat, and the whole atmosphere relaxed, and the press conference hall surged again.
There was a rustling sound, and the joyful atmosphere spread.
"Nervous? No, no, no, I'm not nervous. Believe me, there are many, many problems that I need to worry about now. Nervousness shouldn't be in the top ten."
Looking at Gao Wen with a smile on his face, the reporters at the scene finally couldn't bear it anymore. Low laughter filled the air, and even the rookie reporters were no longer nervous.
"Personally, the first thing I need to worry about is my own adaptation and interpretation of the grass, not the ethereal seed tomb."
"Believe me, with my current state and ability, there shouldn't be much difference whether it's Center Court or Court No. 17. The game is a mess. Before the Seed Grave Curse on the court took effect, I had already defeated myself. I thought,
We wouldn't need Harry Potter's intervention."
Haha, hahaha...
Laughing like thunder.
When it comes to making complaints, Gao Wen is indeed good at making complaints about himself, but when it comes to making complaints about himself, Gao Wen is much more ruthless than reporters.
"Of course, we can't deny Dennis's perfect performance in the first three sets. He barely gave me a chance to breathe and showed efficient lawn tennis. In the first two sets, I must give praise to Dennis, even though I am an arrogant self.
Crazy, but we still can’t deny Dennis’s excellence.”
"I know that Dennis is in good form now. He just won the championship in Nottingham last week and came to the All England Club with a winning streak. He is the one who is full of confidence and has a hot touch. If anyone underestimates his strength because of his world ranking
, that is definitely a serious mistake.”
"In today's game, Dennis also proved this. He played really well. His offense was closely connected, and his movement and defense were excellent. Facing the low-bouncing grass, his adaptation and adjustment were obviously much higher than mine."
It also made my game very difficult."
"Actually, there's not much I can do in the face of Dennis's performance. I don't have time to complain or worry. I have to focus on my tennis, adapting to the grass, and adapting to the Wimbledon court."
"No matter what kind of tension or pressure, they are all luxury under such circumstances."
"Of course, I can blame the audience for being too enthusiastic, I can blame Court No. 2 for the bad feng shui, and I can blame Dennis for playing too well and being unfriendly, but I think instead of shirk the responsibility, it is better to focus on yourself and start with yourself first.
Find the reasons within yourself and change the situation of the game."
"So, the only thing I can do is focus on myself, hope for Dennis to fluctuate, and then when the opportunity comes, I won't be like a fool and watch the opportunity slip away, and then complain about the weather, the venue, and the audience again,
I don't think that's the solution."
The eloquent words were very solid and focused, and the complaints that ran through them did not affect the sincerity from the inside out. It can be seen that this game did benefit Gawain a lot, but the little teasing that came at his fingertips in the end was definitely
Isn’t it Kyrgios in the connotation?
But this time, the reporters didn't have time to smile. They were unknowingly immersed in Gawain's words and tried to explore Gawain's current game status.
Then, the fresh-faced reporter stood up again and repeated his question without holding back.
"So where do you think the turning point came? Match point in the third set?"
"Of course, the match point is very important, very, very important. If we don't get that point, there will be no success. We should be sitting here drinking beer and discussing what it is like to be eliminated in the first round of Wimbledon.
Already."
One second, two seconds——
There was a collective roar of laughter, a hearty laugh, and even reporters whistled and clapped for Gawain. I had to admire the charm of language.
On the contrary, Gawain looked particularly calm, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"But, for me personally, the real turning point should be the next game after saving the match point."
"After escaping from death, adrenaline was secreted rapidly, my brain started functioning again, and I immediately found an opportunity in Dennis's serve."
"At that time, it seemed that I had finally found some grass-court experience. Although it was still insignificant, it did open a door."
