Before the semi-finals started, Gao Wen finally chose to withdraw from the competition due to injury. Murray won without a fight, received a bye, and took the lead in reaching the finals.
There was a lot of consternation, and the "Gawain VS Murray Wimbledon rematch" that had been longing for disappeared like this. It was undoubtedly a loss for the Rogers Cup spectators.
Although the media and fans were mentally prepared, when they actually heard Gawain's confirmation, loss and sadness overflowed uncontrollably.
The press conference is still going on, and social networks have already made waves again——
Those supporters finally couldn't control themselves anymore and started shouting from a distance.
"Those who slandered Gao Wen for 'faking injuries', get out now. Is this what you call faking injuries? I had to withdraw from the game due to the severity of the injury. I gritted my teeth and persisted until the end in the last game, all relying on pain relief.
Aren’t you ashamed that all of Gawain’s hard work and hard work were wiped out by your flimsy fake injury?”
"Come out and apologize!"
"So, is this what you call a fake injury? Because the injury was so serious that I had to withdraw from the game, are you willing to admit that this is a real injury now?"
"What about the haters who swore this was a hoax? Are now silenced?"
"When they attacked, one was more energetic than the other; now that the results have come out and the truth has come out, both of them are hiding like turtles?"
"Where are those black guys who were still jumping around until this morning? Why are they all gone now? Don't you have anything to say?"
All kinds of emotions collided and exploded. Compared with Gao Wen's retirement due to injury, what made the supporters sadder was the slander and dirty water thrown at Gao Wen.
Internet violence has no cost or punishment, but it can easily destroy all a person's efforts and persistence, and even a person's life.
Look now, after the truth has been revealed, those haters are disappearing quietly like snow embracing the sunshine.
This is a new dilemma in the Internet age, like a cage that imprisons people, repeating similar stories over and over again.
However--
What really makes people speechless is that one group of haters disappeared, and another group of haters appeared, just like psoriasis that can never be eradicated.
"What a waste. Since I knew that my injury was so serious, I should have withdrawn directly and let Tsonga advance. Isn't this a waste of a semi-final spot?"
"What kind of face is this? After fighting with injury to eliminate Tsonga, he retired early? So the only one who was hurt was Tsonga, right?"
"It's not worth it for Tsonga. I feel like he has been fooled."
"Since there are lucky losers in the qualifying rounds, shouldn't the same be true in the draw for the main draw? If Gao Wen withdraws, then Tsonga becomes the lucky loser and takes his place in the semi-finals?"
"It seems that the injury is really serious, so why not withdraw from the game against Tsonga? Here is an answer."
Strong words to make sense.
Refers to a deer as a horse.
Distort facts.
Just when people think that the haters on the Internet cannot be more stupid, despicable and dirty, "they" can always break the bottom line with practical actions, refresh the three views and lower the limit, and show an uglier, distorted and darker appearance.
The Internet is like a bottomless abyss breeding evil.
These remarks have no logic, context or position. They are simply bullshit and illustrate the cruel reality that "the brain is a good thing but not everyone has it".
What does it mean to waste a spot in the top four?
What does it mean for Tsonga to be a victim?
Not to mention other netizens, even Tsonga himself can't stand it.
"No, I don't think so."
"In competitive sports, no matter what setbacks or difficulties you encounter, you should do your best and fight without reservation until the last moment. This is worthy of respect. I think the will and tenacity shown by Gao Wen are worthy of admiration."
"Furthermore, injuries are one thing. We don't know the specific situation until there is a real examination. Sometimes it looks serious but in fact there is no big problem. Sometimes it seems to be no big deal but the seriousness is known only after testing. So
"In the game, unless we really can't hold on, we are willing to give ourselves a chance to see how the injury is."
"Occasionally, we make it to the end of the game; sometimes we don't."
"Wait until the game is over before conducting professional inspections. Sometimes it is more serious, sometimes not. We can only make judgments based on the next situation."
"Gaowen is neither the first nor the last to fight through injuries; and he is neither the first nor the last to withdraw from the competition due to injuries."
"The same thing happens every day in competitive sports. I don't understand why people catch Gawain talking about it."
Tsonga expressed his doubts. Similarly, this is also a question that thousands of netizens and media are curious about.
To this end, the "Los Angeles Times" wrote an in-depth special report to analyze it, and caused an uproar on social networks.
They use Gawain himself as the perspective to unfold the power camp in the entire tennis world.
In the past two decades, the initiative in tennis has shifted from North America to Europe. Now the younger generation led by Australia and Canada is rising strongly. When people pay attention to the Challenger League and Youth Storm, they are actually paying attention to the future of tennis forces.
A trending context.
The rise of Gao Wen represents the sudden rise of Asia, just like Federer and Nadal back then. They represent the change of power in the tennis world. They also represent the pioneers against North America and create a new era. These two players
The meaning of existence is extraordinary.
The same is true for Gao Wen now. Just as Federer promoted tennis to the vast world outside North America and Europe, Gao Wen has brought the activity of the Asian tennis market to an unprecedented new level, even because of the "outsider" status of Asians.
Africa and Latin America are also ready to take action.
In other words, when Nike tries to build Gao Wen into the next king of tennis, the existing power order in the tennis world will also face challenges.
Naturally, Gao Wen will face unimaginable impacts and challenges.
In addition, Gawain only rose to power within a short period of one year and his foundation is not deep, which also led to the exclusivity and aggressiveness of the existing order reaching a whole new level.
To put it simply, there are many right and wrong reasons for being famous, and now Gao Wen is not just a "famous person", including Nike and ATP, they have placed more hopes. At this juncture, the battle for the world's number one has entered a new stage and Gao Wen
As my career enters its second year, it is even more turbulent.
Injuries happen every day; retirements happen all the time.
But this time Gao Wen's withdrawal from the competition due to injury really affected the whole body, so it also set off the Internet.
In the end, an incredible sight appeared.
Of course, haters are everywhere and negative comments are overwhelming; but the situation has quietly changed. With Gao Wen officially announcing his retirement, the emotions of the supporters have also been fully released amid the impact of sadness and anger, regret and bitterness.
Gradually it gained the upper hand and became the main voice on the Internet.
