The two press briefing halls, separated by only half a corridor, were both extremely lively, as if the air was boiling. However, the atmospheres in the two press briefing halls were slightly different. The first one was more dignified, while the second one was more relaxed.
After the game, reporters also tried to analyze the entire game. From the end of the second set to the first half of the third set, Djokovic once won six consecutive games and gave away the invisible egg. Almost everyone thought that the game had returned to normal.
The rhythm of being the best in the world, but this was not the case. Gao Wen quickly reversed the situation.
In this regard, Djokovic said.
"My performance today did not meet expectations. There were many unforced errors. I tried to use small ball tactics to change the rhythm, but obviously there were too many mistakes and the tactics could not be executed. I was completely out of shape today. In the second half of the third set
The section was a disaster, I felt like I lost touch."
"In the middle period, my performance was good, but still not at my best. I have been struggling very much today."
Gawain expressed the same question.
"I try to keep my mentality balanced and keep reminding myself that I am standing opposite one of the best tennis players in the world. The only thing I can do is to try my best, play every point well, and then see if I can find it.
Chance."
"Honestly, apart from that, I don't know what else to do. Maybe after more game experience, I will have other different ideas, but now..."
As he spoke, Gawain shrugged, with a self-complaining look on his face, which made the reporters laugh slightly, and then Gawain continued.
"I have always liked Nadal's attitude towards the game: standing on the court, you have to try everything you can do. It doesn't matter even if it doesn't work. Sometimes it's not your day; but sometimes, you can open up.
situation and then let's see what happens."
"So, you need to keep trying and working hard before a turnaround occurs."
The reporter took advantage of the situation and asked, "So what do you think is the reason for your victory?"
"I have never doubted myself." Gao Wen answered simply and neatly, and responded with a smile, the confidence shown from the inside out was shining.
In the No. 1 press conference room, reporters also asked similar questions. They tried to find a reason for Djokovic's loss. In the last game against Murray, Djokovic obviously consumed too much.
Physical strength and energy, resulting in a lack of physical strength in the fourth set of this match.
But Djokovic denied it.
"This game is very difficult for both sides. The audience can see that the confrontation in the fourth set dropped significantly, but I don't think physical fitness is the main reason for my loss. You should look at Gao Wen, he was in front
A few rounds were harder than mine, but I gritted my teeth and persevered in this game.”
"The real reason should be that the whole feeling is not right. I haven't found the feeling of hitting the ball. Obviously, Gao Wen also continued to put more pressure on me."
Although it was not directly stated, one can still feel Djokovic's admiration for Gawain; reporters also raised questions about Gawain's physical strength.
"Shh, this must be a strategic secret, I still have a game."
Gawain answered in such a way, which caused all the reporters on the scene to burst into laughter. Apparently they had never known that competition questions could be answered in this way.
Naturally, the reporters on the scene followed Gawain's words and looked forward to the next game, and mentioned a very, very important fact.
"Gawain, do you realize that you are making history?"
"You are not only the first male player in Asia to reach a Grand Slam final, but also the first player in history to reach the final in his first Grand Slam - whether a man or a woman. You are also the best player in the Open era.
The lowest-ranked male player in the world to reach a Grand Slam final.”
"There are many, many more historical records besides that. As a young man born in 1995, you have also created a series of records on behalf of the new generation."
"The upcoming finals will also be an unprecedented moment. What are your expectations for this?"
As soon as the eloquent question was uttered, you could clearly feel that the air in the No. 2 press conference room was boiling with heat. All eyes fell on Gao Wen's arm, and they could clearly and truly feel it.
The slightly hot wave of heat sinks into the blood vessels along the pores.
Really eye-catching.
However, Gawain lightly shrugged, "I originally wanted to pretend not to know, but obviously, you exposed my trick, which makes me a little embarrassed."
Seeing Gawain rubbing his nose depressedly, the reporters couldn't help but chuckle in good faith.
"I have a lot of respect for these records because I know how rare and incredible they are, but I'm trying to stay focused on my game."
"As I said in a previous interview, I believe that I am just an ordinary player who uses my actual actions to show the infinite possibilities of competitive sports. Since I can do it, other players can definitely do it, too.'
Everything is possible', this is the greatest charm of competitive sports."
"So, the more important thing for me now than the record is the next game, which I look forward to with a lot of respect and admiration because I know that no matter which player I face, obviously I will be
As the weaker side, I need to go all out to gain a chance."
"My goal is to put an end to any potential suspicions about match-fixing by the audience; of course, it would be great if the audience could be heard cheering and cheering at the scene."
Cleverly, lightly, and jokingly, Gao Wen's humor was displayed in just one sentence. He not only implicitly expressed his expectations and beliefs for the final, but also made fun of the overwhelming support of Djokovic from the audience today.
What's strange is that he responded before reporters could sow discord and create conflicts.
Once again, Gawain once again impressed the reporters.
However, reporters' questions were still difficult to guard against. Amidst the laughter, another reporter asked a very sensitive question.
"So, who do you hope to face in the final?"
At present, the other semi-final has not started yet, but it is obvious that Federer has a "global home court". If Gao Wen faces Federer in the final, I am afraid that the audience will side with Federer overwhelmingly.
The reporters saw Gao Wen take the initiative to mention the audience's support, so they followed the trend and threw this difficult problem to Gao Wen——
At any time and in any game, reporters will never miss the question asking the players to express their opinions on the outcome of another game. Although it is late, it arrives.
In this regard, Gao Wen did not say anything. He just silently raised his right hand, crossed his index and middle fingers together, and made a gesture of silent prayer. He did not say whether he hoped to face Cilic or Federer, he just made a devout prayer.
