Match Point: Chapter 411 blow the horn
Times make heroes.
In many cases, a hero's debut still needs timing, and he stands out under special circumstances, just like the current situation.
On the front foot, Knox's move to break the deadlock made all major brands focus on Gao Wen, and brands coveting the Chinese market became restless.
On the back foot, Raonic, Dimitrov, and Tim were eliminated one after another. The youth storm in the men's singles field was only left with Gao Wen.
It's hard to imagine that just two days ago, the media was still shouting "The storm of youth is sweeping through Flushing", and the thunderous shouts were still ringing in my ears, and then only Gao Wen and Bencic were left in the singles field Youth represented that the speed with which the situation was overturned caught everyone by surprise.
In an instant, the eyes of all major brands were focused on Gao Wen, and the value of this single seedling was obviously going to rise again.
And, that's not all.
Compared with the lower half, the top eight matches in the upper half of men's singles are really full of highlights.
One, "Djokovic VS Murray" Big Four duel, naturally needless to say, after the lottery results came out, it was a much-anticipated contest, and now it finally arrived as scheduled.
An Asian storm of "Gaowen VS Kei Nishikori" is the focus of the topic on another level.
Looking at the men's tennis over the past two decades, there have actually been many outstanding Asian singles players.
For example, Lee Hyung-taek of Kimchi, he entered the top 16 of the US Open in 2000, becoming the first Asian male player to do such a feat in history, and his career highest ranking came to 36.
For example, Thailand's Paradong-Srichaphan (Paradong-Srichaphan), except for the French Open, has reached the top 16 in all three Grand Slams. He is also the first male player in Asia to rank among the top ten in the world. The highest came to ninth.
For example, Uzbekistan's Denis-Istomin (Denis-Istomin) has also advanced to the top 16 of the three Grand Slams other than the French Open, and defeated Djokovic in the second round of the 2017 Australian Open. A career high of 33.
For another example, in 2018, Chung Hyun of Kimchi made a big splash at the Australian Open, defeating Medvedev, Zverev Jr., and Djokovic to reach the semi-finals, especially against Djokovic. At that time, "beating Djokovic in Djokovic's way" can be said to have amazed the entire tennis world.
To put it simply, Asian male players have also achieved a lot of achievements, but overall, they still haven't formed a collective strength, at least they haven't been able to flourish and fully demonstrate their competitiveness like female players.
Until this year's US Open.
Gao Wen and Kei Nishikori shine together and create countless history. Not only will the winner of the two become the first Asian male player to reach the semi-finals in a Grand Slam; The unprecedented first Asian collision in the quarter-finals of the Grand Slam—
In fact, not to mention the quarter-finals, even in the qualifying rounds, the number of times the two Asian male players have played against each other is really not much.
From all aspects, this game is a focus battle. Just meeting has already made history. In particular, the ratings in the Asian market are already conceivable now and will inevitably create new highs.
Thanks to this, the eyes of major brands focusing on Gao Wen became even more turbulent. It can be said that every move has attracted the attention of everyone.
time of day. favorable location. People and. everything's ready.
Of course, the "momentum" is already in place, but whether it can be grasped depends on the performance of the players themselves.
Just like the game between Gao Wen and Wawrinka, under the watchful eyes of the brand representatives, Gao Wen conquered the Louis-Armstrong Stadium with an unparalleled performance, and became the only player among the "post-90s" players who successfully passed the barrier, which made the Alligator's breakthrough The action created subsequent stormy waves.
When Knox sent out the invitation impulsively, he obviously did not expect the direction of the matter, but it was precisely because of his sudden stroke of genius that he successfully brought the commercial market competition hidden behind the fierce competition of the US Open into a new era. Altitude, things are spiraling out of control.
Be it Gao Wen or Kei Nishikori, the eyes focused on the two Asian players are now intertwined.
Although the two players represent the Huaxia market and the neon market respectively, the market strategies after segmentation are definitely different, but from a global perspective, they can both represent the strategic direction of the Asian sector. Naturally, all those who are interested in the Asian market Interested brands will not be missed.
Not only sports brands, but also all walks of life that radiate into life in all aspects, as long as they are paying attention to tennis brands, they will not miss this game. In a sense, the "economic value" of this game has already It surpassed the much-anticipated "Djokovic VS Murray".
In a sense, if it was "Wawrinka VS Kei Nishikori", or "Gaowen VS Raonic", it might not be able to create such a sensation; it is precisely because of "Gaowen VS Kei Nishikori" , The feat of two Asian players joining hands to write history successfully detonated this raging wave.
Close your eyes, and you can hear a wave sweeping the world, secretly surging, and the sound is getting louder, waiting for the moment of release.
So what now?
Facing an opportunity again, standing at the fork in the road to create history again, what answer will Gao Wen hand in? Facing Kei Nishikori, who is in full swing, can Gao Wen continue his dark horse posture?
Looking forward to it?
The answer is undoubtedly yes. All the major manufacturers have gathered their attention. It was originally the last Grand Slam event of the year that no one would miss. Now it has become an event that brand manufacturers must pay attention to and must attend. The whole enthusiasm Not the same.
