Match Point: Chapter 1124 psychological contest

Chapter 1125 Psychological Contest

It's fried, it's fried.

Gao Wen lightly dropped the blockbuster, and completely detonated the media frenzy without any effort, so that the brilliance of other players was completely covered up.

Even Djokovic, Nadal and others were asked about the "post-95" new generation at the press conference, and no one can be an exception.

This frenzy swept across Miami mightily.

In professional tennis, people are used to the "Fena Jue", "De Na Jue", "Demu Jue" and so on. The arrangement and combination of the Big Four is already exhausted; The duel has never been able to form enough momentum, and the weight of any duel still seems to be lacking.

This is especially true for the young people of the new generation. They are still very far away from the rhetoric of "enemies". Whether it is the number of duels or the quality of duels, they are far behind.

It is embarrassing, because the most touching and exciting thing in competitive sports is precisely the "rival duel". Any great era has classic rivals.

If the new generation of players, whether they are born in the 90s or 95, want to truly change the professional tennis landscape, it is not enough to rely on just a few players to attack the Big Four; The confrontation and collision sparked again and again.

Starting from the most basic and simple number of fights, to the number of encounters in Masters Grand Slams, to the excitement of classic duels, and finally to the inextricable suspense of victory and defeat, all these factors are the key to establishing the "enemy". It's a pity that the new generation of players is far from reaching such a standard.

Representatives of the new generation such as Raonic, Dimitrov, and Gao Wen are even within one hand of the number of fights, let alone old enemies.

The post-90s are still climbing; the post-95s have quietly emerged, and they are younger, more impulsive and passionate, maybe they can bring hope?

Like..."Gawain VS Jr. Zverev"?

Other things aside, at least from the media publicity and professional point of view, one is a hot and popular fried chicken, and the other is a talented future world No. Immediate visual sense, the quality of the game is worth looking forward to.

What's more, the pre-match interviews of the two players have already sparked sparks. There is no need for the news media to fan the flames, and the smoke has already filled the air.

Worth looking forward to!

Perhaps, this is just the first meeting between the two players at the ATP level, but who knows, this is the first appearance of a new pair of rivals.

…

stare!

In a blink of an eye, there were only participating players left in the player tunnel, and Zverev finally couldn't control himself anymore, and gave Gao Wen a hard look.

He couldn't believe that Gao Wen actually embarrassed him so much at the press conference. His ugly face was disgusting, but at the same time, it just proved his judgment on Gao Wen. A supervillain whose mask hides his evil true colors.

Gawain seemed to have noticed Zverev's gaze, turned his head to look over, and saw the blazing anger in his opponent's eyes.

However, Gao Wen slightly raised the corners of his mouth and pursed his lips into a smile, showing a sincere and friendly smile, as if he didn't see the imminent tension between them at all.

"This guy!"

Little Zverev was dumbfounded, he couldn't believe his eyes, the torrent of anger exploded in his chest, and he almost lost control of the scene.

Only when he came back to his senses did Zverev Jr. realize that he was clenching his fists tightly. Because of the force, his veins burst out and he was on the verge of bursting.

He will beat him.

he! hundred percent! able to beat him!

Zverev Jr. looked back, barely controlled himself, and told himself over and over again before the player's tunnel turned into a boxing ring.

So little Zverev didn't notice at all, Gawain glanced at him lightly from the corner of his eyes, then quickly retracted his gaze and looked forward.

Gao Wen, are you really that impulsive?

of course not.

In competitive sports competitions, "psychological warfare" is also a very, very important part. Although tennis does not engage in psychological games so frequently like football or basketball, the contest that extends from the field to the field always exists objectively.

Zverev Jr. is indeed very talented. In terms of ability alone, those experts don't make mistakes like that. He does have the potential to be the number one in the world.

But everything in the world is a double-edged sword, and it is precisely because of this talent that Zverev Jr. has been carrying the "halo of genius" since he was a child, overflowing with self-confidence, and even evolved into a kind of pride, a burden, and a **** , Therefore, Zverev's mental endurance has always been criticized.

Two pieces of data are very typical evidence:

Although he had won two consecutive Masters championship trophies as early as 2017, it was not until the 2020 Australian Open that he broke into the semi-finals for the first time in the Grand Slam.

In addition, despite being ranked third in the world, it was not until the French Open in 2022 that he defeated a top ten player in the world in a Grand Slam for the first time in his career.

Is this situation because Zverev Jr. does not have such ability?

of course not.

Psychological stress resistance and endurance are the key.

When it comes to 2022, five Masters champions and a long-term stable top five in the world. Zverev Jr. has already proved his talent, so every time he goes to a Grand Slam, he must be the focus of attention; Under the aura of "the favorite to win the championship", or ignite the hope of "becoming the number one in the world", the pressure will be overwhelming.

At such moments, Zverev Jr. is always complacent and seems to enjoy the praise and attention he has received, but when he really stands on the field, he always performs abnormally. Drop the chain and get out early again and again.

To put it simply, Zverev Jr. enjoys attention, which is how he has been treated since he was a child. He longs to be bathed in the spotlight, which is his nutrient.

However, he couldn't handle the balance between attention and pressure correctly, and he was surrounded by frustration when he encountered a slight obstacle, and then he defeated himself. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

Later, Zverev Jr. further lost control of his emotions. He was accused of "violent rumors" both on and off the field.

Literally, in the doubles semi-final in Acapulco in 2022, Zverev Jr. was dissatisfied with the penalty and violently attacked the referee's seat with his racket, causing the racket to be directly destroyed and almost attacked to the referee's left foot.

The problem of emotional loss is getting worse, and Zverev Jr. is becoming another Kyrgios?

Pressure, this is the key word of every professional athlete, and it is also the only way to the championship. No one can be an exception.

So, what should Gao Wen do?

To be precise, Gao Wen wasn't going to do anything because he didn't think it was necessary; but...

Now that the opponent has already come to provoke him, pointing his nose and cursing, showing an opening, if Gao Wen still turns a blind eye, wouldn't it be a disappointment to the opponent's sincerity?

Therefore, Gao Wen pushed the boat along the way, provoked a little, and then patiently waited for the matter to ferment—

Sure enough, Zverev Jr. exploded.
