Although he also failed in the first round of the Australian Open at the beginning of this year, and the situation did not seem that bad, the US Open is different after all. After all, this is his home court.
Since his debut in a Grand Slam match at the US Open in 2007, except for his first-round exit in 2008, he has performed well at other times. At worst, he could enter the third round, which means winning at least two games. As a result, he failed again this year.
Reliving the nightmare of 2008.
Intricate flavors surge on the tip of the tongue.
Putting his equipment bag on his back, Isner tried his best to hide his regret and disappointment, waved to the audience, and left with his head lowered.
Then, out of the corner of his eye, Isner saw Gawain standing next to the players' dugout, stopping to pack his equipment and applauding him.
A simple action also expressed inner respect and respect, which made Isner's heart warm:
Yes, no matter what, I tried my best. This was a wonderful game and I shouldn't be disappointed.
When leaving the field, Isner straightened his back slightly and opened his shoulders again.
In this compartment, Isner has been sent away, and Gawain is still packing his equipment.
Participating in a Grand Slam tournament for the first time, the entire scale and formation were different, especially the center court match, which was dizzying. After winning, Gao Wen also seemed a little confused and top-heavy, but fortunately, he left Ah
When playing at Ser-Ashe Stadium, the tournament staff came to give guidance——
Demonstrates Grand Slam-level organizational capabilities.
Gao Wen can first go to the bathroom to take a shower and change into a fresh set of clothes. Then the event staff will go to the locker room to notify Gao Wen or his team to see if any reporters have requested a press conference. If not, then Gao Wen can
Leave the court and arrange recovery treatment or follow-up training according to your own situation.
If so, the staff will inform the specific time and venue, because the US Open has multiple press conference rooms of different sizes. Generally speaking, they will arrange the venues in the order of the end time of the game, and then Gaowen will follow
Just go to the press conference site in time.
This set of procedures would never be seen in a challenge match. Gao Wen actually missed the moment when he was surrounded by reporters at the exit of the stadium.
"...When is Gregor's match tomorrow?"
"The time should be about the same as yours, Court No. 7."
"Oh, Dominic should be about the same. He seems to be on Court No. 17. I'm thinking about which game I should go to."
"You still have time to watch the game. Peter should start to help you arrange a training plan. Where is the training maniac you promised?"
"I have never watched a game in a major championship, and I want to see what it feels like to sit in the stands."
"Watching the game, you can wait. You'd better focus on the game first."
Gawain and Tobias were waiting patiently in the media center, chatting wordlessly, and their tense nerves were finally able to temporarily relax.
Given Gao Wen's status, he was naturally not ranked high. Even Isner, who suffered an upset loss, held a press conference in front of him, which shows how well the local darling is treated.
Tobias accompanied Gao Wen to the media center, while Gao Hongli and Jiang Yanyun went to other venues to watch the game with great interest, seemingly unsatisfied; as for Sampras, he is a landlord here, and considering that Gao Wen does not need to train next,
Naturally, his free time needs to be used well.
In fact, Gao Wen knew that Gao Hongli had originally planned to go to a high-end restaurant in downtown New York to have a big meal tonight. He was probably worried that Gao Wen would be in a bad mood after being eliminated in the first round, so he made a special trip to soothe his wounds with a big meal, but he didn't.
To think that Gawain actually won?
Because Gao Wen needed to continue preparing for the next second round, Gao Hongli also canceled the appointment.
"Gao, Hall 6 is ready, you can enter now."
The staff came over and politely informed Gao Wen that the press conference was finally ready.
After Gawain expressed his thanks, he and Tobias walked toward the No. 6 press conference room.
"The situation of yesterday should not happen again today." Tobias lowered his voice to comfort Gawain.
Gao Wen simply chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not worried at all. At least I'm sure that the Chinese media should have a lot of questions to ask."
Under the gaze of Tobias, Gawain pushed open the door of the press conference room, and in an instant——
Click, click, click!
Click, click, click!
Accompanied by the thunderous sound of the shutter, the silver flash came towards us like a waterfall flying down three thousand feet, gnashing its teeth and claws and eating Gawain alive. However, in the blink of an eye, he was no longer visible, and even Tobias
Si's eyes were covered with a halo.
Boom boom, boom boom.
It wasn't until the door to the press conference room slowly closed that Tobias's eyes recovered slightly, but the residual sting was still surging in his brain, and then the smile on Tobias's mouth rose slightly.
.
Gawain's eyes briefly fell into darkness. There were only invisible light spots flickering and moving in the darkness. His vision temporarily lost its function, but the roar above his ears and the surface of his skin could not be heard.
The burning heat still keeps the nerves sharp.
This is the real big battle.
In comparison, the scenes that Gawain had experienced before were just small fights, but they escalated to several levels in an instant. The whole rumbling force hit the heart hard, as if it could be crushed into countless pieces in the next second.
A heat wave hit my face and my breath was suffocated.
His footsteps paused for a moment, and then he continued to move forward, groping for his position, and finding his seat with a little embarrassment.
Click, click, click!
The overwhelming sound of flashing lights continued continuously for nearly two minutes before slowly falling silent.
Gradually, the reporters were finally able to see clearly what Gawain looked like——
It is still the dark blue jersey, with the "UCLA" logo as the only pattern, but the pure and rich blue makes Gao Wen's wheat-colored skin glow with a light luster, and his clear face outlines a light smile.
The smile, with a touch of refreshing sunshine, is as clean and bright as a white shirt fluttering in the wind.
"Huh, sorry, I need to make sure my eyes are normal. I'll need them for training later."
Without waiting for the reporter to ask questions, Gao Wen made a light joke about himself, teasing the reporter's enthusiasm and his own rawness. He easily made all the reporters laugh. He already fell in love with this humorous young man before he even had a chance to meet him.
Already.
Then, Gawain slowly opened his eyes and took a moment to adapt. The darkness gradually faded away, and his vision became clear again, but there were still little spots of light flickering. At this time, Gawain finally saw the scene in front of him clearly.
