Does anyone still remember that a full week ago, when the Wimbledon draw was released, in the 6/8 small division where Gao Wen was located, everyone generally believed that the first three rounds were not a challenge for Gao Wen, and the real problem should be from the fourth round.
start--
The matchup in the top 16 is "Gawain VS Dimitrov".
Of course, people are not optimistic that Dimitrov can pass three levels in a row. The general focus is on Gawain's old enemy Pospisil to advance to the match.
In the blink of an eye, a week has passed, and an unexpected but reasonable confrontation appeared. Dimitrov stood in front of Gawain.
Bustling and vigorous.
Unexpected was unexpected, but in terms of topicality, this matchup was obviously much more exciting. When Gao Wen and Dimitrov both won and advanced, the reporters were all excited.
Press Conference Hall No. 1 and Press Conference Hall No. 3 both focus on the same hot topics, and you can even feel the heat in the air.
"No, of course not."
Dimitrov was not surprised at all. He had already been mentally prepared. To be more precise, he had been waiting from the moment the lottery came out.
"Obviously, Gao Wen is the more favored party. You don't need to lie to me. I can see online public opinion surveys and I know this is a fact."
"Ha ha."
"But that doesn't mean I will surrender."
"On the contrary, I will go on the court, I will fight with all my strength, I will try my best to win, and win a ticket to the quarterfinals with practical actions."
"This is a kind of respect and respect. Precisely because Gao Wen is my friend, I need to have no reservations in this game."
"In fact, this is the All England Club. I think my experience should be able to bring some help. If I can choose a venue to face Gao Wen, this is the perfect choice."
Upright and aboveboard, Dimitrov faced reporters' questions calmly.
The reporter was a little embarrassed.
Just a few weeks ago, Dimitrov still looked depressed and depressed, as if a look or a word could easily hurt him.
Now that Dimitrov has regained his confidence, he once again showed his high-spirited and graceful posture, and the aura conveyed by his every move is now different.
The reporter was a little frustrated but refused to give up, "So, have you met with Gao Wen? Have you discussed this matter? Will this game be particularly difficult? Will you avoid suspicion a little in the face of this important game?
"
"After the game, you pulled me here immediately, so I don't have a chance to meet Gawain for the time being."
"But I think things shouldn't change."
"We are all professional players. We all know what is going on. There is no need to deliberately avoid it. It will only look artificial."
"Of course, things must be a little different. Gao Wen and I probably won't practice together before the game. I think Gao Wen won't mind, but I need to retain my experience advantage."
"Ha ha."
After saying that, Dimitrov couldn't hold back himself and laughed heartily.
At the same time, Gao Wen is also facing the same problem——
After a brief period of silence and astonishment, the reporters quickly regained their composure.
How could they forget the most obvious and important topic right in front of them?
"...To be honest, I don't mind. If Gregor is willing, then we can train together before the game. I don't worry about being spied on. After all, I don't have any secrets on the grass field."
The same question and Gao Wen's joking made the scene burst into laughter.
When dealing with Gawain, the difficulty levels are different, and the reporters' attitudes are naturally different. Of course, the situations and positions of the two players are also different, so the angle of entry is naturally somewhat different——
The reporters were prepared to use mourning gestures to gain sympathy.
"Gawain, you and Gregor are friends. Obviously, he is at a very difficult and very depressed bottom."
"His world ranking has fallen out of the top ten. Winning three consecutive victories seems to have become a challenge. The departure of the meritorious coach has also led to some controversy. The chaos in his own team has also affected his training."
"The situation is still declining."
"Wimbledon is his final redemption. The points earned by last year's semi-finalists are almost half of Gregor's current world ranking points. Once he loses these points, he is likely to fall out of the top 20 or even the top 30."
As he spoke, the reporter could notice the subtle changes in Gawain's expression——
He gently raised his chin and looked at the reporter intently, with a playful look in his eyes, just like a cat playing with a mouse. There was a faint smile hidden at the corner of his mouth, which actually gave him a feeling of condescension.
A subtle strangeness surged in the air, as if something was not quite right.
But the key point is that Gawain did not interrupt, but encouraged the reporter to continue with his eyes.
The reporter was unsure, and the more he talked, the more guilty he became. But there was no turning back when the work started, and he had no choice but to continue if he got stuck halfway.
"And you are looking forward to advancing to the Wimbledon quarter-finals for the first time in your career and becoming a member of the All England Club's special quarter-finals."
"We can foresee that this game is very special and very difficult. How do you feel about this?"
The questions were over, and it was Gawain's turn to answer. However, Gawain had no intention of opening his mouth. His face was still full of interest, and his eyes kept wandering around the reporter and his surroundings.
His calm eyes are terrifying.
The air slowly became tense.
The reporters fell into silence again, and no one dared to speak easily to break the deadlock, until Gao Wen himself spoke.
"The glass-half-full theory is very interesting. Everyone has a different perspective and perspective on things."
"In your opinion, Gregor needs sympathy, help, and a helping hand, but this is your point of view. Obviously this is not what competitive sports players have in mind."
"I don't think Gregor needs sympathy, and I don't think Gregor needs mercy from me."
"Don't forget that a week ago, many people doubted whether I would be able to win consecutively on grass; similarly, no one realized that Gregor was also competitive."
"So, we came here."
"To be honest, you are all very surprised by such a top-16 matchup, right?"
"But I do not."
"I believe that Gregor has the talent and ability to beat any player, and I also believe that Gregor can prove himself again at the All England Club."
"So, you are wrong."
"I will go on the court, I will go all out, I will concentrate on winning, because Gregor is also a champion and a fighter, he needs my 100% concentration, he deserves an upright game
."
"If you ask me whether our friendship will become a variable in this game, the answer is yes, because I will be more focused and dedicated. This comes from the respect of one friend for another friend, and also a professional
The respect a player has for another professional player."
"Two days from now, we don't know how the game will turn out, but I will sit here and face the result with no regrets."
"How about this answer, are you satisfied with it?"
