Whispering chuckles and whispers filled the press conference room, and the reporters couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths while exchanging glances.
It can be clearly felt that Gao Wen's press conferences are always full of explosive points and enjoyable. Who can refuse?
The next question is the same.
"Gaowen, what if you successfully advance to the semi-finals? This also means that you will become the first player in history to advance to the semi-finals after coming off the bench."
"At the same time, your opponent in the semifinals is likely to be the top seed Djokovic. Once the trip takes place, this will also be your third meeting this season."
"You've won the first two times, so how do you feel about this meeting, and what do you think your chances of reaching the final are?"
The problems are one after another, becoming more and more fierce and cruel.
So much so that Gawain raised his hands and pressed down gently, as if he was signaling his pet dog to sit down.
"calm down."
"I have just finished a group match, and this question has already reached the finals. Fortunately, you didn't directly ask me how I felt about winning the championship."
"call……"
As Gawain made a gesture of exhaling to wipe his sweat, the reporters at the scene burst into laughter, and the tense atmosphere relaxed again before they had time to do so.
On the ATP year-end finals stage, there are many cases where substitute players come on temporarily. After all, injuries and accidents are unpredictable, but overall, the performance is mediocre.
Generally speaking, when a substitute player comes on the stage, he is often already burdened with a "losing record", one game or even two games; and the substitute player is originally the captain of the firefighting team, and the "fall behind" in the world rankings largely reflects the season.
The overall performance, coupled with the chaos of being ordered at a critical moment.
Therefore, it is indeed difficult for substitute players to perform well.
In particular, the overall performance of the men's players is relatively stable and strong, and it is more difficult for substitute players to upset them in the year-end finals.
It can be seen from the historical record that as of this year, players who have come off the bench have never been able to reach the top four.
But now, Gao Wen has gained a glimmer of hope, a very, very weak glimmer of hope. Even if Federer defeats Murray in two sets, there is still a slim chance of deciding the outcome by looking at small points, even worse than winning the Paris Masters last week.
It's more difficult.
but!
The existence of possibility is a fact, which is why reporters are excited——
Are we going to witness another historic breakthrough?
What's more, if it comes true, then Gao Wen's opponent in the semi-finals will most likely be Djokovic. Unless Berdych defeats Djokovic in straight sets, only then will Gao Wen face him in the semi-finals?
Berdych, then, this also means...
"Gawain VS Djokovic", staged for the second consecutive week!
No need for any extra words, you can clearly feel the urgency and excitement from the eyes of the reporters in front of you, so much so that the air is also surging.
In the midst of the crowd's attention, Gawain was still smiling and unhurried, as if he didn't feel the pressing pressure permeating the entire audience at all.
"It would be an honor for me if I could continue to play at the O2 Arena."
clever.
Gao Wen did not respond to the semi-finals or the game, but focused on the O2 Arena. If there is no time limit, it can be this year or next year. He always looks forward to returning to play here.
Quietly, Gawain secretly changed his concept and avoided the focus with all his might.
"At the same time, this also means that I still have new work to complete. Everything starts from scratch, and the next things will not change."
There is no "Djokovic", no "qualifying from the group", it is an understatement to return to yourself and focus on training and competition conscientiously.
Such a firm and unswerving attitude is impeccable.
As he spoke, Gawain also made an action to show off his biceps, and he calmly resolved all such difficult problems.
Seeing that the reporters were still preparing to make a move, Gawain added another sentence.
"I'm very, very jealous of your work, so don't force me."
On-site reporter:…
"Gawain, are you threatening reporters?"
"I am expressing my admiration for the work of journalists."
"..."
Although they don't want to admit it, the fact is that the reporters are still helpless in front of Gawain.
What’s even more interesting is that reporters actually don’t hate Gawain. Not only do they not hate him, but they often express a little appreciation in their words——
At least, Gawain is much more interesting than Kei Nishikori, who is well-behaved and calm next door.
It’s no wonder that the surging crowd in Press Conference Hall No. 1 is already more lively than Press Conference Hall No. 2, and then you can continue to hear the laughter and applause in Press Conference Hall No. 1, just like a talk show scene. Gradually, gradually,
The crowd began to flow, so that the No. 1 press conference room became increasingly crowded.
When Kei Nishikori ended the press conference, he felt that the room in front of him was not so crowded.
Undoubtedly, this is also a fresh scene in men's professional tennis.
In this room, Gawain and Kei Nishikori were being chased and intercepted by reporters. It looked like almost all the sports reporters in London were gathered together.
On that side, the match at the O2 Arena was still in full swing. The men's doubles match was the first, while the other singles match in Group B was the last match of the whole day. The main axis -
"Global Home" Federer VS "Real Home" Murray.
But I don’t know which player the audience at the O2 Arena will side with tonight?
Moreover, after waiting and waiting for the competition between giants, will it be able to meet the ardent expectations of fans?
All attention.
Not only Agassi and Sampras appeared in the VIP box, but also two young players Gavin and Timtlov also appeared in the box.
Tonight, the O2 Arena was full, and there were no empty seats in the spectator stands. Tobias asked the organizer, and then he got a seat in the VIP box and allowed Gawain and others to watch the game live.
But Nishikori Kei seemed to refuse Gawain's invitation in order to avoid suspicion.
Kei Nishikori stayed in the players' lounge and watched the live broadcast on the TV screen. He probably didn't want reporters to think he was inquiring about his opponent, or because he had complicated thoughts and needed some space for calm thinking.
In addition to them, the O2 Arena was also star-studded, with many top stars from Chelsea and Arsenal appearing in the stands:
No one wants to miss this confrontation between Federer and Murray.
However--
It's a huge disappointment, from the process to the ending.
It only took fifty-six minutes, "6:0", "6:1", the game was over.
A completely one-sided sweep, Federer easily won.
In the whole match, Federer scored 100% on his first serve and did not give up any break points; Murray gave up seven break points in his service game, but only saved one, and lost six service games before and after, losing the whole match.
In the eleventh round, the winner was decided in a matter of seconds.
