No one could have expected that the drama series "Gawain VS Australia" would unexpectedly grab the headlines and become one of the biggest highlights of the 2015 Australian Open.
Absolutely real, completely sudden, live broadcast.
Wonderful! Enjoyable! Attention-grabbing!
Before the start of the third round of the game, the discussion of the "Gaowen VS Tomic" game was rising on social networks at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even professional sports reporters from different media have published relevant discussions on their own social network platforms while writing articles.
Line of sight, fully focused.
This is definitely an unexpected topic!
But why?
Could it be that the personal grudge between Gawain and Kyrgios, Kogkinakis and others has been exposed?
Apparently not.
In fact, everything is a coincidence. Before the match between Gao Wen and Tomic landed at Hisense Stadium, two things happened at the Australian Open on the fifth match day:
One.
Australian participating players suffered heavy losses in succession. With Stosur losing to American player Coco-Vandeweghe and ending in the second round, this also meant that there were no local players in the women's singles draw.
annihilated.
At the same time, the men's singles field has also suffered a devastating blow. Among the ten players who have entered the main draw so far, after the end of the fourth match day, only the last two are left, Kyrgios and Tomic, and the others
All players are eliminated.
Just two days ago, the Chinese media were still lamenting that the overall performance of this year's singles was disappointing, while the Australian fans were cheering for joy; but they did not expect that the situation would turn, and the hustle and bustle of the party had not had time to fully settle, and then Australia also ushered in a crisis.
The crisis of annihilation.
Second.
On the fifth match day, the Australian Open experienced the biggest upset since its start:
The third matinee match at Rod Laver Arena, Federer vs. Seppi——
Yes! It’s the Seppi in the “Seppi’s Law” that only works against Federer.
As of this year in Melbourne Park, Federer has maintained an impressive record of winning ten games against Seppi, even losing only one set. The overall performance is very strong; however, in these ten events, after Federer defeated Seppi, all of them failed.
Being able to reach the top of the championship is a strange thing in tennis.
For Federer fans, this is not a good thing, because even if Federer defeats Seppi, I am afraid that this year's Australian Open championship will be somewhat in doubt.
But at least one thing is certain, if Federer wants to continue his championship hopes, he must defeat Seppi.
From all aspects, Federer has no chance of losing.
However, "3:1".
The winner was Seppi, who not only ended his ten-game losing streak against Federer, but also caused the biggest upset since the start of this year's Australian Open.
This loss ended Federer's eleven consecutive years of reaching the semi-finals at Melbourne Park, and also created Federer's worst record at the Australian Open in fourteen years.
Before the Australian Open, Federer had just won the Brisbane championship and won the 1,000th victory of his career. He was considered the favorite to win the championship. The quarter-final match "Federer VS Murray" in the 4/4 area was also after the draw was released.
The most watched matchup did not expect to end in the third round.
When fans expected Federer to break "Seppi's Law", they did not expect that Federer would simply lose to Seppi this time.
So far, Federer still has not been able to break the two-year Grand Slam championship drought; and what is even more frightening is that the effects of age and injuries are gradually becoming apparent:
Last year at the US Open, Federer lost to Cilic, who had won five matches; at this year's Australian Open, Federer lost again to Seppi, who had been undefeated in ten matches.
The 33-year-old Federer will definitely face more challenges in the rest of his career.
For Federer, this is a "bad day", and for Federer fans, this is many, many, many "bad days."
"Who would have thought that Federer would become one of those people who stopped in the first week of a Grand Slam."
"Federer was annoyed by Seppi's Law, so he just lost to Seppi this time."
"My Australian Open ends here."
"Heartbroken. Federer actually stopped in the first week of a Grand Slam. Who can tell me that this is not true."
"When was the last time Federer was eliminated in the first week of a Grand Slam? It was last century."
There is no doubt that Federer is still the most popular player in Melbourne. The vast number of fans are looking forward to the Swiss King to achieve another great result. However, they did not expect that he was suddenly hit with a slap in the face, so that the fans and spectators were a little dizzy. The whole world
The low air pressure permeating Melbourne Park slowly dragged the ankles of Federer fans down, more or less allowing Australian fans and Chinese fans to find resonance——
In any case, fans who like Federer are spread all over the world. Putting aside other competitions, at this moment, they are all in the same world.
It was against this background that the game between Gao Wen and Tomic came on stage.
Chinese fans are eager for a victory to awaken their enthusiasm, while Australian fans are eager for a victory to brighten their day like never before.
After all, now that the men's and women's singles draws have all been added up, Australia has only the last two seeds of hope left, and they are more sincere than ever.
The right time, right place, and right people.
Although it is not appropriate to use it here, it is precisely because things collide one after another and complete the superposition that all eyes are directed towards "A scene that shouldn't attract too much attention is just ordinary."
The third round of the contest was a contest with no gimmicks, no topics, and no hatred.”
Can you imagine?
In fact, this is the first confrontation and encounter between Gawain and Tomic.
Even the Australian Open Organizing Committee itself did not expect such a situation when making arrangements for the next day's schedule halfway through the fourth match day.
In the case where there are two local players playing, one is Kyrgios against Serbian player Victor Troicki, both of whom are unseeded players, and one is Gao Wen vs. Tomic. Not only Gao Wen is No. 8
Seed, and Tomic is also a rising star who became famous earlier.
As a result, Kyrgios once again entered the night game at Margaret Court Stadium, and even Murray was squeezed into the Hisense Stadium; then the game between Gavin and Tomic was also arranged at the Hisense Stadium.
It can be seen from here that the organizing committee never imagined that the focus of attention would be overwhelmingly directed towards Gawain and Tomic.
Strictly speaking, the series "Gawain VS Australia" has actually released two episodes. It is against Tomic. This should be the third episode of the series. The first two episodes only caused some discussion on a small scale. As a result, the third episode,
Fifteen minutes after Seppi's upset victory over Federer, he landed at Hisense Arena.
Then--
exploded.
The ratings just exploded.
