"Congratulations! Congratulations to Wang Qiang! In this way, our young player Wang Qiang defeated his opponent and successfully advanced to the second round. The final scores in the two sets were '6:2' and '6:0'. His performance was very good."
Bang bang, thunderous applause, both Zhan Jun and Hu Litao were a little excited. On the one hand, it was because Wang Qiang successfully advanced, and on the other hand, because the neat score allowed the game to end as soon as possible. This was undoubtedly a win-win situation.
"Next, let's switch the signal back to Arthur Ashe Stadium."
Hu Litao said calmly, but you can feel his excitement and excitement by moving his posture slightly in the live broadcast room——
Today is the second day of the Grand Slam tournament. They did not go directly to the live broadcast seats above Arthur Ashe Stadium. Instead, they broadcast the game live in the official media center of the US Open, so that they can freely switch between different signals and have a panoramic view.
Showcasing all aspects of Grand Slam.
The only regret is that I couldn't feel the atmosphere there.
Then, the international signal cut in, and they saw the situation on the field like thousands of spectators around the world. When the signal was cut in, it was the inter-inning break. When they saw Gao Wen sitting in the dugout area wiping sweat, then
A sense of reality came over me——
History is really happening.
Zhan Jun and Hu Litao exchanged glances in a hurry, and then they could see the joy and excitement in each other's eyes, and they had already entered the state without adjusting.
"Friends in the audience, friends in the audience, good evening."
In the domestic time zone, it is already one o'clock in the morning.
"What we are broadcasting for you now is a match in the first round of the 2014 US Open. The 18-year-old Gao Wen from my country challenged the 13th seed John Isner from the United States."
"Gaowen is currently studying at the University of California, Los Angeles. After winning the NCAA national championship this year, he received a wild card, which allowed him to appear in the Grand Slam for the first time. In fact, this is the first time that Gaowen has stood in the professional arena.
On the competition field above the competition challenge level.”
"However, in his first official game, he has already made history, becoming the first Chinese male player in history to stand on the center court of the four Grand Slams."
Buzz buzz.
Buzz buzz.
Zhan Jun was in charge of introducing the background of the entire story, and his blood couldn't help but boil as he spoke.
At the same time, Gu Xiao, who was waiting in front of the TV, had also gone crazy.
When my hands were typing on the computer keyboard, my fingertips were shaking uncontrollably.
"CCTV broadcast Gao Wen's game, sure enough!"
Ever since Gao Wen became the U.S. champion, Gu Xiao, Qiao Wangsheng, Jiang Yanqing and others in the Tieba forum could not help but excitedly chatter about it, and they were all following Gao Wen's North American season.
Although the level of the Challenger League is still too low after all, the number of posts discussing Gao Wen in the forum is still gradually increasing - they even know more clearly than the official about Gao Wen making history and becoming the Challenger Championship champion, and a small team has emerged.
Started to carry the news of Gawain diligently.
Then, step by step, a group of Gao Wen fans gathered in twos and threes across the country.
Unfortunately, there is almost no international broadcast signal for the Challenger League, and fans have no way to watch Gawain's game, so all expectations are directed towards the US Open——
They are about to witness the Grand Slam that attracts global attention!
After the "Gaowen VS Isner" matchup came out, Qiao Wangsheng asserted that Gaowen had the opportunity to enter the three major stadiums, maybe even the Central Court. Naturally, the possibility of CCTV live broadcast became more and more likely.
Even Qiao Wangsheng was so excited that he couldn't contain his excitement because he was finally going to watch Gao Wen's game for the first time.
"International signals, friends, you just need to find an international signal platform."
Amid the bustle of posts seeking help for the live broadcast link, Gu Xiao quickly posted a post calling on more fans to join them.
Immediately afterwards, Qiao Wangsheng immediately updated a post.
"Five sets, the signal just came in, Wang Qiang's game is over."
Gurgling.
Gurgling.
Some people expressed strong doubts that after Li Na's absence from the US Open, it was hard to imagine any player being treated like the Center Court in the first round.
Some people didn't understand why and thought it was just an ordinary game like Zhang Shuai or Wang Qiang, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
Some people inadvertently turned the channel, stopped when they saw a tennis ball, and made a surprised sound, "It's actually a five-star red flag? I don't seem to recognize it."
But if you think about it seriously, it seems that the Chinese men's tennis players have no impression at all. If another one comes out at this time, there will be no difference.
The rustling ground can be seen on CCTV. The ratings are slowly rising at a speed visible to the naked eye. More and more eyes are focused on Arthur Ashe Stadium. Even in the early morning hours, the vitality can still be seen.
"... In the latest world rankings, Gao Wen is temporarily ranked 193rd, while Isner is 15th. For Gao Wen, this is a game that must go all out."
"Currently, the two players are still in balance, each holding serve. Gao Wen, who took the lead in serving, leads '3:2'."
"The next thing is Isner's serve."
"On the court, the one wearing the white jersey is Isner, and the one wearing the dark blue jersey is Gao Wen. Oh, Gao Wen is wearing the UCLA school uniform, which is obviously a unique choice.
.”
Although there is no sponsorship, players are free to choose their jerseys. Nike and Adidas are still the two leaders in the global market. However, there are also a small number of players who deliberately wear jerseys without any brand logos in order to seek sponsorship. The subtext is that they are waiting for brands to come to sponsor.
.
When the female player Halep participated in the Australian Open in 2018, she did not have a jersey sponsor. However, she found a Taobao store through the introduction of Chinese players, designed it herself, and then customized the jersey. She wore such a jersey to participate in the Australian Open and killed
Enter the finals.
It was not until Nike and Halep signed a cooperation agreement that Halep's lack of sponsorship ended.
Tobias obviously thought so too. He didn't want Gao Wen to wear any jerseys with brand labels, so Gao Wen chose the school team's uniform. Anyway, he was used to it.
Unintentionally, this became a beautiful sight. When Gawain walked onto the court again, there were people in the audience waving their right hands vigorously and shouting loudly.
"Up, brown bear! Up!"
The shouts stirred up echoes in the stadium, causing a burst of good-natured laughter, and even Isner laughed——
Isner is from the University of Georgia. Although he has graduated many years ago, he still feels very friendly when he occasionally meets alumni. At this time, when he saw Gao Wen on stage wearing a university uniform, he could not help but remember him.
Gao Wen also acted gracefully, pointing to the "UCLA" logo on his left chest and gesturing in the direction of the source of the sound, which immediately triggered a lively sound of "ho ho ho", making the atmosphere of the game a little more relaxed.
But the laughter was short-lived. When we turned around, the two players had already reached the bottom line and were ready to enter the seventh game of the first set.
