Thunderous applause resounded from the audience because they were lucky enough to witness history at Arthur Ashe Stadium and because of this wonderful duel.
Agassi had also stood up, looking at Gao Wen who raised his hands high in the middle of the court and applauded the fans to express his gratitude. His flushed and sweaty face was filled with the splendor and publicity of youth.
You can feel the strong beating heart and bubbling blood from afar.
Involuntarily, Agassi also became excited. Because of this game and even more because of Gao Wen's performance, he really hadn't seen such a charming young player for a long, long time.
Now Agassi finally understands why Sampras suggested that he should come to watch the game.
Agassi turned to look at Sampras who was watching, "How is it? Did you expect it?"
Although Gao Wen's playing temperament is indeed impressive, he reached the semi-finals in his first Grand Slam and even participated in an ATP-level professional event for the first time. This also means that Gao Wen can already stand shoulder to shoulder with John McEnroe.
, this performance is still so amazing that all language is lost.
Sampras shrugged, noncommittal, saying that he had expected it would be a lie; but saying that he had no premonition at all was not quite accurate, so Sampras didn’t know how to answer. The only thing he could say was
The only thing is that he believes in Gawain.
Then, out of the corner of his eye, Sampras could see his friend Tobias, who was trying to stay calm but still couldn't restrain his overflowing joy——
After Dimitrov at Wimbledon, the players represented by Tobias once again reached the semi-finals of the Grand Slam. This is a breakthrough and a piece of history.
At this moment, even the gains at the commercial level are no longer Tobias's first thought. All he thinks about is this game and the next game. Competitive sports are always so fascinating, not only
Because of the championship, but also because of the passion to challenge the limits and challenge oneself.
Indeed, Tobias is an agent, but at his core, Tobias is always a player, eager to compete on the highest level of the Grand Slam, pursuing higher, faster and further, and constantly breaking through himself.
.
From Dimitrov to Gao Wen, Tobias has always looked forward to the day when he can appear in the player's box of a Grand Slam final as an agent and witness a peak sword showdown in Huashan with his own eyes.
Now, the opportunity has come again.
Although Sampras didn't say anything, Agassi still interpreted the information from his friend's expression, understood it immediately, and didn't say anything more. He just looked at the court and Gawain again with a smile on his face.
The next semi-finals are worth looking forward to!
That year, McEnroe participated in Wimbledon consecutively after the French Open. In his second Grand Slam tournament, this talented player who was not yet 18 years old reached the semi-finals in one go, astonishing the world and becoming a
One of the most talented and controversial players in tennis history.
However, that year, McEnroe lost to the then world number one Jimmy Connors in the semi-finals of Wimbledon and missed the final.
The same is true for Gao Wen now. His semi-final opponent will be decided in tonight's main event, "Djokovic VS Murray". This also means that Gao Wen is very likely to face the current world number one.
Djokovic, then, can he accomplish the feat that McEnroe was not able to accomplish back then?
Final seat? Djokovic or Murray?
What is very, very interesting is that at Wimbledon this year, Dimitrov eliminated Murray in the quarterfinals and reached the semifinals. However, he unfortunately lost to Djokovic in four sets in the semifinals and missed the final.
So, from Wimbledon to Flushing, from Dimitrov to Gawain, how will the story continue?
Just imagining the upcoming scene of the semi-finals in my mind, the anticipation can't help but boil up, and I can't wait to have this confrontation right away.
Rumble!
Rumble!
Thunderous applause burst out from the entire Arthur Ashe Stadium, and you didn't even need to be in the stadium to feel the heat waves coming towards you.
In front of the TV, Adidas' David Harnett could clearly feel the roar of the mountain and the tsunami coming towards him through the screen, as if he might break free from the shackles of the screen at any time. The whole of Flushing was completely overwhelmed by this horse.
He was fascinated by the magical performance of the dark horse, and no one was an exception.
The blazing red air wave eclipsed the fiery cloud above Arthur Ashe Stadium.
The smile on the corner of Harnett's mouth was a little helpless and a little bitter.
He said that Adidas will not regret it, even if it did not renew the contracts of Djokovic and Murray, because they always have a chance, this is also the confidence of Adidas; but at this moment, watching the whole audience bathing
Amidst the applause, Gawain could not help but feel his stomach burning.
One month, just one month, they didn't expect the slap in the face to come so fast, like a tornado.
If Adidas had signed Gao Wen with a contract of $300,000 per year, then...
Although they really didn't want to admit it, they did regret it this time, mainly because everything happened too fast, and the retribution came too fiercely, and the clear gap created a strong impact.
But in reality there is no if.
Harnet told the truth, he really didn't expect Gawain to go so far. They made a mistake this time, but what else can they do now?
Facing reality and aiming for the future is the correct way to respond.
Especially after the sudden move of Crocodile, major brands did not dare to act rashly, because they all knew that every step forward by Gao Wen meant that competition became more intense; at the same time, they also all knew that if Gao Wen could continue to move forward,
Then competitors will start to fall behind.
For example, today, when Gao Wen enters the semi-finals, it is estimated that Fila will not be able to continue to persist. It should be difficult for them to provide sponsorship fees higher than 1.2 million US dollars per year, because competitors all know clearly that with the
As Gawain makes history, his market value continues to rise.
Although the US Open is still "in progress" and although two of the four men's singles quarter-finals have just been completed, the attention focused on Gao Wen has already become fierce.
It can be predicted that in the end, it should still be a "Nike VS Adidas" situation, and it will be a dirty and bloody contest.
The only good thing is that Adidas did not seize the opportunity, and neither did all other brands. They are still on the same starting line.
The best way to make up for mistakes and redeem "regrets" is to sign Gawain. As long as you can sign Gawain, then all mistakes will no longer matter.
On the field, a war for the championship is starting; outside the field, a war for Gawain is also filled with smoke.
