"Huh... when you are in a game, believe me, you don't have so much time and space to think about these things. The game is really too tense and too anxious. I need to concentrate all my attention to find a way to open the game, and John
It didn’t give me much room to breathe.”
The reporters at the scene laughed kindly, because Gawain's words were equivalent to a secret praise of Isner, which was a sign of respect for his opponent.
"Of course, after the game, I was very happy and happy. I will not deny that victory always brings joy to people, especially a Grand Slam victory. The first feeling is indeed unforgettable."
"But if there's anything special about it, I'm afraid it's nothing."
Um?
Yu Jia was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that Gawain didn't make an impassioned speech, but then Gawain said it lightly.
"I think I just proved one thing that we can do it too. After the first time, there will soon be a second and third time, and then we will all get used to it and look forward to creating more memorable moments in the future.
time."
A victory?
It's not worth celebrating, there's no need to make a fuss, after all, it's not a victory for a Grand Slam champion. They should correct their mentality, because this will be the norm. Just like the female players have formed a group advantage, the male tennis players in China will also do the same.
They spring up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
This is a wish, a dream, but Gao Wen said it so calmly and so matter-of-factly, and the grand blueprint was laid out in front of his eyes, which was far more moving and passionate than a sentence or two of slogans.
Yu Jia couldn't help but was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that their layout was still too small. Gowen's words raised the entire layout to a higher level.
Looking at the smile on the corner of Gawain's mouth, Yu Jia couldn't help but nodded ignorantly. It wasn't until he sat down that he slowly came back to his senses. The next second, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his mind was surging, with a feeling.
An incredible happiness filled my whole chest.
And the next question has already moved on.
"... Judging from your answer just now, it seems that you also have expectations for the next game?"
The reporter immediately grasped the deep meaning of Gawain's words, and then fell on Gawain himself again. His eyes were immediately directed towards the next game.
So, how did Gawain respond?
"Wow, is this speed exceeding the limit? Can't you give me a little more time to enjoy the sweetness of this victory?"
boom!
The reporters all burst into laughter. Gao Wen's relaxed and joking way of answering was often unconventional, but he always showed a sense of humor around the questions. This was a kind of enjoyment for both the interviewers and the interviewees.
Then the conversation turned back and Gawain answered the question.
"Of course, the taste of victory is so sweet, and I still hope to continue to taste it. Therefore, in the next round of competition, I will definitely try my best to win. Believe me, I will work very, very, very hard."
Hahaha.
The reporters looked at Gao Wen winking and complaining, and could no longer hold back. The laughter burst out again, and the entire press conference hall was really lively.
"...Gawain, what do you think is the turning point of today's game? Is the key to your victory the last point of the tie-break in the third set?"
"I think the key point of today's game is to believe in yourself. I never doubted myself from beginning to end. My college coach Mr. Martin said that if you don't believe that you can win, then no one in the world can help you.
.”
"... Gao Wen, this is your first Grand Slam trip, and then you reached the second round. Do you think this is amazing?"
"If I remember correctly, John's first Grand Slam trip was in the third round here, so I guess my experience wasn't that magical."
"... Gao Wen, before the US Open, you had only participated in the Challenge Tournament, so what is the difference between the Challenge Tournament and the Grand Slam?"
"The stadium is so big and there are so many people."
One second, two seconds, and then everyone burst into laughter.
The reporters' feelings were very, very special. All aspects showed that it was indeed the first time for Gao Wen to appear on the Grand Slam stage. However, the sophistication and wisdom displayed by Gao Wen were not stiff at all. Not only was he not restrained, but he was also very comfortable.
You can also control the atmosphere of the entire venue.
Not to mention the inexperienced young players, I am afraid that the top 20 players in the world may not be able to have this kind of calmness, that is, top superstars like the Big Four can show such magnanimity.
This... is so fresh!
This is not the first time that ESPN reporter Frank Hancock has heard of Gauvin's name. Because of their relationship with the NCAA, he has heard his colleagues mention Gauvin many times, especially Sampras, who also praised Gauvin full of praise.
, but Hancock also did not expect Sampras to appear in Gowan's player box.
He felt that things were not simple.
It was precisely because of this that Hancock raised that question. He didn't expect Gawain's flawless answer and directly bypassed him.
But Hancock did not give up. He always felt that Gawain had a... superstar temperament. Although this idea was really very ridiculous. After all, Gawain just won a game in an upset, but Hancock did
That's what I really think.
Hancock wanted to try it again to verify his idea.
After waiting patiently for a long time, and then finally waiting for the second opportunity to ask questions, Hancock stood up again.
"Gawain, may I ask, what do you think of the interference from the audience at the end of the game?"
Hancock deliberately and consciously provoked the relationship between Gawain and the audience. Even big names such as Federer and Djokovic have had conflicts with the audience many times. Even Nag, who has never been angry.
Dahl also complained to the referee because the spectators turned on flash lights to take photos and interfered with the game.
In other words, the problem between players and spectators exists objectively, and Gawain has also encountered it, so how will Gawain deal with it and face it?
This is also a problem that must be faced on the road to becoming a superstar.
Surprisingly, Hancock saw the corner of Gawain's mouth pursed slightly, as if he was a little embarrassed, but the look in his eyes remained relaxed.
"Thanks?"
Gawain's answer is a question rather than an affirmative.
"I guess I should thank him for giving me the opportunity to introduce myself, God, otherwise, who would have the opportunity to introduce myself at Arthur Ashe Stadium. I am not the Beatles and can hold a concert in this stadium.
.”
A little bit of uncertainty, a little bit of complaining, a little bit of ridicule, because the behavior of interrupting the game is undesirable. Not only the players and referees don't like it, but the audience doesn't like it either, so it still needs to be banned as much as possible.
But a little bit of humor and a little bit of joking successfully defused the edge, and the press conference hall burst into laughter again.
