Until the cheers of the audience calmed down, the restlessness could still be felt in the air of the O2 Arena. The heartbeat seemed to be continuously hitting the eardrums. The crazy and hot energy penetrated the body along the pores. Even if there was no sound, the adrenaline could not be controlled.
of burning.
At this time, Gao Wencai carefully looked at the custom-made cake in front of him——
On the tour, tournaments often hold special celebrations for players, ranging from birthday parties to career milestones, etc., but the organizers of these events are the tournament organizing committee and have nothing to do with the ATP or WTA, so it all depends on the sincerity.
Organizer of the event.
If you fight locally, the host country will naturally treat you differently.
On the other hand, these special events do not have any official regulations. If the event organizing committee does not organize them, it cannot be blamed for negligence.
In the final analysis, this is a heartfelt gesture that also highlights the specialness of the players.
But here is London, and it is also the year-end finals. The event organizing committee has specially prepared a birthday party for Gawain, and the treatment is extraordinary.
It can also be seen from cake customization:
A wolf head.
This is also the exclusive logo designed by Nike for Gao Wen. It has already been registered as a trademark and has become part of Gao Wen's personal image and brand.
The O2 Stadium chose this logo, which is not only special, but also good-looking. The entire taste level is revealed at once, highlighting Gao Wen's unique treatment.
Not just in Asia, Gao Wen is loved all over the world.
"Make a wish!"
"Make a wish!"
Standing in front of the cake, Gawain did not hesitate, he made a wish generously, opened his eyes, and then he could see the faces of the caddies full of excitement and expectation. When they looked at Gawain, they saw
What they saw were dreams, hopes and the future; when Gawain looked at them, he saw his former self.
In the past, Gao Wen looked up to those legends, from Sampras to Agassi to Federer and Nadal, etc., and followed their footsteps to pursue their dreams; but now, he will also become their hope.
Gawain showed a smile and looked at everyone.
"Come, let's count to three together."
"one!"
"two!"
"three!"
call.
The caddies joined Gawain and blew out the candles together, as if they joined hands to make a wish and plant a seed of hope in the soil of youth.
Standing up straight again, Gawain could see Buck who was ready.
Buck looked at Gawain with a smile, "Can I ask about your wish just now?"
Before Gawain could open his mouth, Buck continued to ask, "Let me guess, is it related to tomorrow's final?"
Ho ho ho!
The O2 Arena is a tinderbox, a spark can ignite it.
The smile on Gao Wen's lips bloomed, "No, what I wish for is that in the next ten years, I can celebrate my birthday with the fans at the O2 Arena every year."
Does this mean that Gao Wen can reach the year-end finals for ten consecutive years?
Buck gently raised his chin and said meaningfully, "You should know that the contract between the ATP Year-End Finals and the O2 Arena is only signed until today, right?"
Gawain, "Well, is it too late for me to change my wish now?"
The whole place burst into laughter.
Then Gao Wen deliberately lowered his voice and leaned into the microphone and whispered, "Renew the contract."
At the same time, he began to use his hands to incite the audience, and the voices of appeal gradually gathered——
Renew! Renew! Renew!
This is an unexpected surprise.
Even Buck didn't expect it.
Of course, both the O2 Arena and London hope to keep the year-end finals, but obviously the ATP hopes that the year-end finals can go to different cities to open up the market. Their strategy is to cultivate the global market.
Unexpectedly, Gao Wen unintentionally created a momentum for the O2 Arena.
Buck couldn't help but laugh, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes:
Buck likes Federer, and viewers who are familiar with her know this, not so much because of Federer's number of championships, but because of Federer's personal charm. As a tennis spokesperson, he has successfully raised the promotion of tennis to two levels. Of course,
Nadal also deserves credit.
From now on, she began to appreciate Gao Wen again. She believed that the burden of tennis in the next ten years might rest on the shoulders of the young man in front of her.
"Gao Wen, this summer in London, you completed an incredible game, maybe even one of the most important games in the past ten years. Now you are back in London, what are your expectations for the upcoming finals?
?”
"No regrets."
Back and forth.
Gawain's answer was very concise, but the applause of the audience still encouraged him to say more. This young man who had just turned twenty has become the new darling of the London audience, just like the New York audience.
"Whether it's Roger or Rafa, they are unparalleled opponents. I look forward to completing a high-quality game with my opponent. That's all. As for the result, let's leave it to the opponent to decide."
boom!
The whole place was in a commotion, and the mighty heat wave was about to blow off the roof.
The first semi-final of the men's singles finally ended in a heat wave. The O2 Arena sent Gao Wen off with a roar of applause. The game had just ended, and they were already eagerly looking forward to Gao Wen's next performance.
Come on stage.
Returning to the players' lounge, you can see the Bryan brothers who are clapping and whistling. Bob will not say anything, and even Mike is also cheering. The two of them took the lead and started a bustling party.
Gawain held the right hands of the two brothers respectively and greeted him by bumping their shoulders. However, before Bob was about to leave, he patted Bob on the back——
come on!
it is more than words.
The battle belonging to Gawain has come to an end for the time being, and then it is the time of the Bryan brothers, who will also fight to defend the world's number one.
Bob understands, he understands everything.
In an instant, Haoqi Yundi patted Gawain's back. The exaggerated action made Gawain's back bang, and he almost vomited blood.
Then, Gawain bared his teeth and said, "Bob, you did this on purpose, right?"
Bob spread his hands with an innocent face.
Mike, who was standing next to him, was speechless, "Bob, how old are you?"
Bob actually looked at Mike seriously, "I am as old as you are. Why, you don't remember how old you are?"
ha!
There was laughter all around.
Bob seemed to be aware of Gawain's gaze, and he didn't say much. He just raised his chin confidently, showing his high morale——
No matter what the outcome is, he will fight to the end.
The thing is that simple.
Gawain stepped forward, clamped Bob's neck with his elbow, "beat" Bob hard like Popeye, and then punched Bob hard twice.
"Never let a win or loss define you."
Whether he or they, their careers are more than that.
In fact, just now on the court, Gao Wen's birthday wish was this: Don't let a victory or a championship define you, don't forget the happiness and joy of winning a second life moment two years ago, and don't forget to continue to challenge yourself.
A pure heart that challenges the limits.
Then, brothers Gao Wen and Bryan passed each other, one went to the locker room, and the other pair was preparing to step onto the field to complete a relay race.
