"Gao Wen reached the Paris Masters, won the Masters championship for the first time in his career, and will go to London for the first time."
"History is still being written. Gawain is unstoppable and reaches the top of Paris. Next, the year-end finals?"
"The dark horse is finally no longer a dark horse. Gao Wen countered the doubts with a championship and won the second championship in his career!"
Exploding points, explosive points, all are explosive points.
Sports newspapers and magazines from all over the world immediately paid attention to the championship battle of the Paris Masters. Gao Wen once again defeated Djokovic to reach the top:
This time, it cannot be described as "upset".
Of course, from the perspective of his overall career, Gauvin's defeat of Djokovic again is still a moderate upset, because this is the second consecutive victory, and it also means that Djokovic has so far competed with Djokovic.
Gawain was defeated in both encounters——
After Djokovic won a Grand Slam and completed his transformation, this has been very, very rare.
However, when the media started reporting, the wording and tone changed subtly. Although an upset was an upset, it cannot be regarded as an accident:
"Saving five match points before and after the second set and winning the final set, Gao Wen showed his competitiveness with an unparalleled performance."
"Djokovic once had the absolute initiative in the game, but Gao Wen proved with practical actions that as long as the last point does not fall, it means the game is not over yet."
"The world's number one needs to carefully review and discuss a defeat. Poor performance in key points is the key point."
Regarding the details and content of the game, professionals can see that this time, they did not look for excuses for Djokovic off the court, but objectively and realistically affirmed Gao Wen's performance, judging from the direction of public opinion.
It can be seen that things have quietly changed.
Mainland China has fallen into madness.
Originally, everyone, including the media, thought that since Gawain had won a Grand Slam and written a new history, they would gradually get used to it and get used to Gawain frequently appearing in the ranks of peak duels. There was no need to make a fuss every time.
.
However, when things really happen, the joy, excitement, and happiness still flow out continuously. Who can refuse the victory after a strong showdown in competitive sports?
"Gawain wins Paris Masters for the first time".
The final was held in the early hours of the morning in mainland China, but less than ten minutes after the final, this keyword topped the hot search list.
It can be seen from the small details that more and more fans are paying attention to tennis, and more and more viewers are waiting in front of computers and TV screens to watch live broadcasts.
In just two months, Gao Wen has brought too many surprises. The momentum of his strong rise has even begun to catch up with the NBA as the new season begins, from the first Grand Slam championship to the first Masters.
Champion, Gawain's rising curve perfectly copied Wawrinka, allowing Chinese fans to experience an incredibly good time.
Hot spot, continuous.
but!
Wait, "Year-End Finals"? Where did this come from?
Hasn't it been reported before that with Kei Nishikori and Raonic both entering the quarterfinals, Gawain's chance of the year-end finals has been completely cut off?
So why are the media mentioning London again now?
Are you sure this isn't a headline-grabber?
of course not.
For such an important matter, even if the media wanted to attract attention by using headlines, they would not dare to fabricate fake news. Just look at the ATP official website:
The media didn't lie.
"Headline, Rafael Nadal officially announced the launch of the London Year-End Finals due to appendicitis surgery."
"Announcement: All eight seats in the ATP year-end finals have been settled, and history is being written again——
The first Asian player to participate, the first player born in the 1990s to participate; in addition, the first substitute, the first Asian player born in the 90s."
The news is published on the homepage of the ATP official website and everyone can confirm:
Gao Wen will go to London as the first substitute in the year-end finals. Whether he is on the stage to compete or not, he has already made history.
So, let’s look back at the media headlines at this time:
"Going to London", "Year-end Finals?"...
Similar keywords did not confirm that Gao Wen would play in the O2 Arena in London, but only confirmed that Gao Wen would go to London as a substitute.
First of all, Nadal's appendicitis surgery ended successfully, but he still needed to recuperate after the operation and was unable to reach the level of competition, so he reluctantly announced his withdrawal from the year-end finals.
Secondly, after the Paris Masters, the championship standings have also completed the last change. Next week, this list and the world ranking list will be merged into one.
Djokovic, Federer, Nadal and Wawrinka are still firmly in the top four.
Murray, Berdych, Kei Nishikori, and Raonic ranked fifth to eighth respectively.
Ferrell, ranked ninth.
Ferrer, who had an advantage in the early stage, has always lacked better performance in the European indoor hard court season, and was overtaken step by step by his competitors; however, due to the withdrawal of Spanish compatriot Nadal, Ferrer still relied on his points accumulation throughout the year.
Advantages, supplementary entry into the year-end finals list.
Here, Ferrer's points number is 4145.
Then, Gao Wen ranked tenth. Relying on the 1,000 points from the Paris Masters champion, he continuously overtook Dimitrov and Cilic at the last moment and entered the top ten. The number of points was 4,010.
In other words, Gao Wen is only 135 points behind Ferrer. If Gao Wen does not take a week off, but goes to Moscow, Vienna or Stockholm to compete, the winner of these three events will be 250 points, and the runner-up will be 250 points.
It is 150 points. Does this mean that Gawain may also directly squeeze out Ferrer and appear on the London stage?
But, there is no if.
Because such an assumption makes no sense. Even if the assumption is true, temporarily ignoring the importance of that week's rest to Gao Wen, it also means that Gao Wen needs to reach the finals for three consecutive weeks.
Not to mention that Federer, Murray, Raonic, Berdych, Kei Nishikori and other players who attended the competition all failed to do it, and further assuming that Gawain did it——
So, when Gao Wen entered London based on his ranking, Gao Wen had competed for five consecutive weeks. Next, he had to face the top eight players in the world in London. How much fighting power does Gao Wen still have?
Moreover, the possibility of injury during fatigued competition cannot be ignored.
So, no assumptions are needed.
No matter what, Gao Wen still relied on his outstanding performance in Valencia and Paris. Miraculously, he won the first substitute seat in the year-end finals with just four months of professional performance.
Dimitrov was the second substitute.
The most important thing is that in the latest world ranking, Gao Wen will also officially surpass Dimitrov and Cilic, continue to set a new high in the personal world ranking, and enter the top ten for the first time in his career.
This is how history is created!
After Kei Nishikori, Gaowen wrote the history of Asian men's players.
After Raonic, Gao Wen wrote the history of the younger generation.
