Match Point: Chapter 1634 focus collision

"I am looking forward."

Gao Wen said that as soon as he opened his mouth, his eager attitude showed his desire for the competition openly and positively responded to the reporter's expectations.

Rustling, it can be clearly felt that the reporters at the scene straightened their waists and leaned forward slightly, showing their curiosity and joy.

"I mean, come on, this is the All England Club, I'm in the quarter-finals, why shouldn't I look forward to the next game?"

ha!

A joke made fun of the reporters-he was looking forward to the quarter-finals, not against Murray.

In the four Grand Slams, the reporters have a special name for the quarterfinals, "Elite-8", to indicate the watershed position of this round.

The reason is very simple and very intuitive. In the Grand Slam with 128 draws, being able to be one of the last eight players to stay in the tournament is undoubtedly the best performance in this tournament. A group of players, even if they can't make it to the semi-finals, they still deserve respect.

Therefore, when people read news reports or career statistics, the details of the words can tell the difference:

Australian Open, quarterfinals.

French Open, fourth round.

Wimbledon, semifinals

US Open, third round.

The above is just a simple example, but it can be seen here that only the results of the quarter-finals and above will be clearly listed; but the results of the top 16 will not be listed, just marked "the fourth round", although the fourth round also means entering the Grand Slam The second week of the event was still not a glorious milestone.

Among them, Wimbledon has the most clear-cut banner. There are "eight clubs" to advance to the quarterfinals, but the quarterfinals are only... the fourth round.

There is no doubt that the "Elite Eight" is indeed a watershed.

Players who have broken into the quarter-finals of the Grand Slam in their careers and those who have not been able to achieve such a goal can basically be regarded as two different levels.

Now, following the US Open, Australian Open, and French Open, Gao Wen has also achieved the goal of the quarterfinals at Wimbledon. Although the reporters have not had time to confirm the historical data, they cannot be 100% sure for the time being, but there is a very high probability that Gao Wen should have a historical record. The first player to accomplish such a feat since —

For the first time to participate in the four Grand Slams, all of them broke into the quarterfinals.

unique!

Incomparable!

Quietly, Gao Wen once again wrote another brilliant stroke. However, compared to the countless miracles that Gao Wen has created all the time, the shock and impact of the quarterfinals seems to be not so strong, so that the reporters did not mention it. Even the Chinese media did not continue to make a fuss.

Is this Versailles?

But as far as Gao Wen himself is concerned, he is very happy, relaxed and joyful, happy and satisfied, and he has enough reasons to enjoy today's victory.

Of course, satisfaction does not mean stopping. It is precisely because of the happiness at this moment that Gao Wen is looking forward to the next game, the next battle.

"As for Andy."

"Ha, I'm very, very looking forward to it, the kind of anticipation with hands and feet up."

As he said that, Gao Wen raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender. The ordinary words fell into the ears of the reporter, but they seemed to be a kind of ridicule:

This is England, who can dare to say that they "don't like" Murray?

"Every fight with Andy is full of possibilities, very difficult, I mean, very, very difficult."

"I'm afraid you have forgotten our game in Valencia. At that time, Andy carried the momentum of winning streak and won three championships in a row. I was just one of the players behind his winning streak, but I did not forget that. A game...well, it's been pretty alive until now."

The meaningful tone made the reporters on the scene chuckle.

"Of course, I 100% haven't forgotten the game at Melbourne Park, first Rafa, then Andy, huh, I think it's a nightmare for any player, let alone a third name next..."

Hahaha!

Hilarious.

The laughter at the scene directly interrupted Gao Wen's words, especially when he saw Gao Wen's slightly raised eyebrows, his face full of complaints but he had to restrain his expression, the laughter became even happier.

Amidst the bustling laughter, a reporter intercepted him halfway and raised his voice to ask, "Gao Wen, if there is a chance to replicate the **** route in Melbourne Park at the All England Club, would you like it?"

"100%!" Gawain gave a quick answer without any hesitation, looking at the reporter with a calm face and clear eyes, full of expectation.

Hahaha!

The audience roared with laughter.

Wave after wave, there were even whistles and applause, for Gao Wen's frankness, and for the sparks on the scene—

If Gao Wen replicates the promotion route of Melbourne Park at the All England Club, it means that he has defeated Murray, Federer and then faced Djokovic in the final, and he has played three consecutive games against giant players. On the way to the top championship must face three dragons.

No wonder journalists dubbed 2011 to 2020 "difficulty from hell":

Any player who wants to reach the top of the Grand Slam must face the giant players at their peak, and it is not one, and many times they have to break through continuously. It turns out that there are still ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties.

The difficulty is beyond imagination!

So instead of blaming the young players for not being good enough, pay homage once again to the Big Four, who joined forces to push tennis to a whole new level and rewrite tennis history with their talent, effort and energy, worthy of all the rhetoric praise.

At Melbourne Park at the beginning of the year, Gao Wen once accomplished an unprecedented feat. If he can accomplish a second time at the All England Club—

Of course he is willing to give it his all.

but.

"Andy is a difficult opponent, not only the score, but also the whole game is full of possibilities. I won't say that I enjoy every meeting, but I promise I have no reservations."

"We're at the All England Club now, it's Andy's hometown, it's Andy's home ground, he's had a great record, he's always been at his best here, he played against Roger here in 2012 The final is still one of my most memorable grass court matches."

"So, if the next game is not against Ivo, but against Andy, I think I need to be ready."

"On the mental level, on the physical level, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Oh, and on the equipment level, I may need to change a pair of tennis shoes."

A light joke ended the question amidst laughter.

The journalists, however, do not intend to stop there.

"Gao Wen, personally speaking, do you prefer to play against Andy or Ivo? Which player do you think you have a higher winning percentage against?"

Sharp and sharp.

Gao Wen raised his eyebrows slightly, and a smile appeared in his eyes, "Sorry, this is not a Tarot card, you may have gone to the wrong room."

One second, two seconds—

Once again, the audience burst into laughter, and the instant burst of laughter circled the press conference hall. Passers-by who came and went didn’t even need to ask. Looking at the formation and the laughter, one could know with their knees that the protagonist in it should be Gawain, even at Wimbledon, is still charming.
