"It's not a shame for a Grand Slam to be so successful. People who don't know it think the number of champions has already reached double figures."
"The champion is the champion. There is nothing to say about it, but there is only one Grand Slam. Is it necessary to brag like this?"
"I think it's a water crown. Stop blowing it. We'll be embarrassed when we look at it."
"None of the fans have any brains. Are you sure you're not praising him? It's only been so long since he started playing professionally. Haven't you heard of the story about Zhongyong?"
"Let the bullet fly for a while longer, and it won't blow until it gets black."
Bah bah bah, blah blah blah, and so on.
Obviously, even Grand Slam and Masters champions still can't shut up the trolls.
In fact, even Murray still hasn't been able to get rid of the fans' complaints:
Countless fans believe that it should be the "Big Three era", and Murray can only be at the "3+1" level at most, and he will die.
So much so that Murray himself often joked and joked, "Oh, the three of them are a small team, and they have defeated my sniper team in double digits."
"He needs to continue to prove himself." This "he" is Wawrinka and Gawain.
Everyone said that the world of men's professional tennis changed in 2014. It was precisely because of Wawrinka and Gawain that all the firepower was concentrated on these two people.
Moreover, the supporting fans are getting louder and more enthusiastic, the social network traffic is getting crazier and more lively, and the anti-fans are getting louder and more rebellious, just like rebellious children in adolescence:
"Everyone says this, so we have to say that, huh!"
That's not all.
At the same time, the admiration and praise from supporters is also an objective pressure, and expectations are getting higher and higher, even becoming more and more outrageous——
Among the lay audience of many "victory fans", they even think that Gao Wen can easily punch Djokovic and step on Nadal. Winning the Grand Slam championship again is as simple as drinking water and eating. He has already
Start imagining the beautiful picture of Gawain ruling the tennis world.
Expectations are breaking through the sky step by step; pressure is rolling down layer upon layer, which is obviously not a good thing.
Therefore, Yu Jia needs to maintain a normal mind. Even if he has many expectations, he still needs to remain objective and calm.
At the very least, they should look at Gao Wen's performance in Doha, evaluate the training situation during the offseason, and then make a judgment.
However, when the plane landed and arrived at the luggage carousel, when you raised your head, you could see a giant poster wrapped in a column, filling every corner of your field of vision——
Gawain, Gawain, all Gawain.
Nike's latest advertising blockbuster has officially debuted in major markets around the world and is overwhelming.
on the poster.
Gawain shot with one hand and opened his forehand, like an eagle spreading its wings, running at high speed, his hair flying in the wind, it seemed that even the tips of his hair could feel the dancing and flying vitality, his shining eyes were firm
Focusing on the tennis ball, the perseverance between the eyebrows outlines the outline of the facial features bit by bit, looking at the future.
The whole person appears on paper.
"What a passionate poster, right?"
Wei Jiang's voice came from his ears, bumped Yu Jia's shoulder, and laughed.
"The whole world is Gawain."
This was a joke. After saying this, Wei Jiang had already taken steps to find his luggage. However, Yu Jia looked at the posters all over the place in front of her, but still couldn't help but uncontrollably, her heart surged, as if she had closed her eyes.
You can hear the roar filling Arthur Ashe Stadium as far as your eyes can see.
"ah!"
At the far end of the world, Gawain's passionate roar burned in the air.
Maybe, they should have more confidence in Gawain——
Confidence in dealing with stress.
After all, they have seen Gao Wen's performance under heavy pressure in the Paris Masters and the year-end finals, and the new season should be worth looking forward to.
Thinking of this, my steps became brisk, and the fatigue and sleepiness of the long flight seemed to quietly dissipate in the air.
Doha, a beautiful and mysterious city.
Viewed from an airplane, it is like a bright pearl surrounded by the desert and the sea. The flowers and lights outline a mirage-like dreamy scene, but when you actually enter the city, it is a completely different scene, low-key and quiet.
It is spread in every corner of this city.
The streets are sparsely populated. Due to the desert climate, it is very hot during the day. If you stay outdoors for a short while, the direct sunlight can scorch your skin, so people stay indoors obediently and avoid unnecessary outdoor activities.
Coupled with the well-known affluence of oil countries, there are not many taxis. People often use their own private cars to travel. There are not even many office workers, so there is no noise of vehicles and no people going to work, and the whole city is quiet.
The place is so quiet that even with the bright sun shining in the sky, it’s hard to believe it’s not midnight.
But it is precisely because of this climate that Doha is a world-famous sports destination. November to March is the most suitable season for sports, and it is known as the "Sports City" in the Gulf region.
From the runner-up meet to the World Championships to the IAAF Diamond League, there are many sports events in Doha, as is the Doha Tennis Open.
Over the years, relying on sufficient financial support, the Dubai 500 and Doha 250 have always been star-studded, and have always been one of the most popular and recognized events on the tour.
It firmly occupies a special place in competitions large and small.
After arriving at the hotel where they were staying, they hurriedly threw their luggage in. Without having time to unpack the suitcases and simply wash up and take care of themselves, Yu Jia and Wei Jiang had already set off towards the tennis center.
Before arriving at the destination, a sparse crowd could be seen in the distance, so much so that the two people exchanged glances.
"Finally I saw someone outdoors."
Except for the airport and hotels, there were too few people walking back and forth on the streets, and it was as quiet as a ghost town.
Until now, finally!
Moreover, there are more people than expected, and a lot of information can be judged from the clothes.
The men wear dark robes, blue, brown, gray, etc., and white, red or plaid turbans with a black rope loop on the turbans.
The women are not the black robes and veils in the impression, but bright skirts with white or even pastel headscarves. Obviously those who come to watch tennis training/matches are young people, and among the younger generation, those stereotypes are changing.
It was broken bit by bit, which also made the entire training ground colorful.
Yu Jia is a little surprised. This is his first time reporting in Doha.
"There are actually so many people?"
As the footsteps approached, the crowds surrounding the training ground became more and more turbulent. Standing under the scorching sun and watching the training, it seemed that the air was distorted, and in an instant, they were back to the hustle and bustle of people.
middle.
Wei Jiang was not surprised at all. This was not the first or second time he had come.
"The wealthy people here in the Gulf spend all day free, and watching sports has always been their hobby. The top three most popular ones are F1 racing, horse racing and tennis."
“Attendance at the Doha Open is outstanding every year.”
