Match Point: Chapter 1439 Full shuffle
"Of course, I also enjoyed the victory, please don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the victory very, very much. I am very fortunate that I was able to win."
The topic changed, a little bit of banter, a little bit of joking, and then, the press conference room burst into laughter again. After a little reaction, the impact of the sharp gap made the laughter even louder. In a blink of an eye, the atmosphere was filled with relaxed and cheerful.
Gao Wen's words continued.
"The next game, I believe, will still be very difficult and full of challenges."
"I have never forgotten that this is Roland Garros, this is the clay court, a field full of variables and possibilities."
"Although I can't wait to discuss the finals and discuss the championship, until then, I should focus on the semi-finals in front of me and fight for a chance."
"An opportunity to dare to dream."
pretty!
Gao Wen avoided the hot topic of winning the championship in such a wise and confident way, and showed his determination to go all out.
Respect for Nadal, respect for other competitors, respect for the game and Roland Garros, but at the same time maintain confidence and motivation, aiming at the championship.
It's perfect.
Then, after a pause, Gao Wen added again with a serious face.
"I believe that was the only advice Pete gave me in the locker room just now."
One second, two seconds—
There was a roar of laughter.
Hilarious reason?
In 1996, Sampras ushered in a breakthrough at Roland Garros, broke into the semi-finals for the first time in his career, and pointed to the championship. A grand slam feat, and completely get rid of the weak brand of clay.
In the semi-finals, Sampras faced Yevgeny-Kafelnikov, the famous player who advanced to the semi-finals in the French Open for the second consecutive year; the previous record of the two battles, Sampras won four out of four , including two clay-court victories, the outcome situation is clear at a glance.
Including Sampras himself, is also full of confidence.
However.
Kafelnikov beat Sampras in three straight sets. In the second set, he sent a donut, which was an upset and broke countless glasses.
Afterwards, Kafelnikov made persistent efforts and reached the top of the men's singles and men's doubles championships at the same time, not only achieving the feat of Russia's first Grand Slam champion in history; Players who have never been able to replicate.
Also, there is an interesting fact.
Sampras has 11 wins and two losses against Kafelnikov in his career, and only two losses occurred in 1996; after that, Sampras made another match against Kafelnikov. Wave seven consecutive victories, however, the most important loss but ruined a Grand Slam chance.
That year was also the only time in Sampras' career that he broke into the semi-finals at Roland Garros.
His eyes returned to Gao Wen.
Just now, Gao Wen casually made fun of Sampras. All the reporters present were professionals, so they knew it all too well.
I understand in seconds.
Unable to hold back for a moment, laughter spread throughout the audience.
The reporters looked at each other and exchanged glances, more or less helpless in their eyes.
If they continue to hold on to the topic of "favourites to win the championship", not only will they not be able to get news out of Gao Wen's mouth, but they will also appear to be small-minded, and they may suffer and lose face in the end. At least, regarding Djokovic and Murray There is no need to mention the topic of meeting teachers here—
Anyway, Gao Wen would definitely not answer obediently.
But are journalists willing to just disarm?
Of course not.
This does not mean that the reporters have nothing to do, they just need to change the direction of the topic. The point is not whether they are willing to continue to sow discord, but in which direction they need to fan the flames, go around, change the tricks without changing the medicine, They really are all too familiar.
Option one, continue to instigate the potential of "Djokovic vs Gawain"—
When he came to Paris, Selyang seemed much quieter and more well-behaved. It seemed that the defeat in the Australian Open final made him calm down, but this was just an illusion. From Djokovic’s determination to win, Selyang’s desire can be seen. A little push from the reporters will do.
Option two, continue to instigate a potential "Djokovic vs Murray" matchup—
Murray's mother, Judy, is slightly different from Seljan, but she is also a sharp-edged and sharp-edged character. It is often the most hurtful, and it is also a topic maker.
In addition, there are options three, four, and five, and it depends on how the reporter chooses.
"Prior to this, Susan Lenglen had finished another semi-final fight, and Stan defeated Roger in straight sets to advance to the semi-finals.
What are your expectations for the next game?
This also means that you don't need to face the giants in three consecutive games like the Australian Open. Stan eliminated Roger. Do you think your chances are greater? "
Of course, this is also an option. It is still the topic of hitting the finals and hitting the championship. It will be a little detour, but the reporters can always achieve their goals—
As the reporter said, like the Australian Open, Gao Wen’s French Open draw is full of dangers. The most dangerous and difficult path may be the situation of facing Nadal, Federer, Djokovic/Murray in succession, leading to On the road to the championship, they encountered three giant players in a row.
However, the difference is that the Australian Open is on hard court. As the new US Open champion, Gao Wen can also be regarded as the new favorite to win the championship. Strength needs to be marked with a question mark, and the performance of the European clay court season has also proved this point.
Of course, when people list the favorites to win the championship, Gao Wen’s name is still on the list, mainly because of the aura of undefeated Grand Slam. Rather than believing that Gao Wen can reach the top at Roland-Garros, it is better to discuss Gao Wen more. How long will Wen's winning streak last? UU Reading www. uukanshu. com
Naturally, Gao Wen's potential consecutive encounters with the Big Three in the French Open did not attract widespread attention, and the discussion stopped at the quarterfinals, that is—
"Gowin vs Nadal".
There is no doubt that this is the most noteworthy meeting among the top eight matchups.
However.
People did not expect that Gao Wen actually defeated Tsonga and entered the quarterfinals; even more unexpectedly, Gao Wen upset Nadal and advanced to the semifinals. He successfully defeated Nadal in the quarterfinals for two consecutive Grand Slam Dahl, proved with practical actions that the second place in the world is indeed well-deserved.
What's even more surprising is that the quarter-finals in the 3/4 area, unexpectedly! There was also a shocking upset, and Wawrinka defeated Federer for the third time in his career.
At this time, people realized that Gao Wen's hell-difficult lottery had been dismantled into pieces, and the layout of the lower half had been fully opened.
Now, it's fun.
