Bustling and bustling.

Every aspect can truly feel that the "Gaowen craze" is still heating up, and it has further climbed to the peak with the powerful propaganda of Gaowen's local combat.

Then, a mood diary sparked heated discussions on social networks.

This diary records the whole process from my first contact with Gao Wen to witnessing the miracle of Gao Wen's summit of the US Open to the close contact with the Diamond Stadium.

The simple and simple text can deeply feel the process of falling step by step until the end of the sincere love, so that readers can't help but follow the ups and downs and immerse themselves in it. In a blink of an eye, it becomes popular on different social network platforms, detonating difficult Confident discussion heat.

Post, from Jiang Yanqing.

She wrote the post just to record her mood, especially the feeling of being in close contact with Gao Wen after today's game. It didn't make sense.

It was Qiao Wangsheng who tapped her in the group, "You wrote this, right?"

When Jiang Yanqing saw that the retweets had exceeded 300,000 and the readings had exceeded 5 million, she was dumbfounded and couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes.

Jiang Yanqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, although she was very surprised, she still replied.

"It would be great if someone could really like Gao Wen and cheer for him because of this."

One victory, just one victory, set off a turbulent wave again, and indeed demonstrated Gao Wen's strong influence in the local area from all aspects.

However, as the center of the storm, Gao Wen has no time to pay attention to the Internet boom—

As he said after the game, he is still adjusting his state. He needs more training and more games to get back his touch. Training is the top priority.

What's more, the Imperial Capital Open is different from the U.S. Open. The schedule is only one week, and there are matches every day. This also means that a second match will be played immediately after the end of a match. There is no adjustment time in the middle, just like the previous challenge The schedule is the same, but this is a different rhythm.

After defeating Meyer to advance to the second round, Gao Wen then needs to challenge the Latvian player Ernest-Gulbis (Ernests-Gulbis).

Gulbis, who was born in 1988, is a newcomer to the top ten in the world this year. Because of his wealthy family, fans affectionately ridiculed him as the second generation of rich people. His unrestrained fiery temper also left a deep impression on people.

In 2013, during the French Open, when Gulbis was asked about his views on the Big Four, the upright boy said so.

"I respect Roger, Rafa, Novak and Andy, but in my opinion, they are boring players."

"Federer's image is a flawless good man, I say again, I respect him, but he is the initiator of the boring style of tennis, a lot of young people go to learn from him, when I hear them like Federer, say 'victory The reason for this is that I did better at some point', I was driven crazy, they would treat the opponent as an idiot, but they had to pretend to be acting during the interview."

This year, it is also the French Open. Gulbis is about to face his childhood friend Djokovic who trained in the same tennis school. He commented that "money and honor have changed him", which caused another off-court debate.

Of course, compared to these remarks, during the game in Stockholm in 2009, Gulbis illegally recruited/prostituted and was arrested on the spot by an undercover policewoman. It was undoubtedly more sensational and lively, so much so that he announced that the future would never Go to Sweden to compete.

In fact, since turning to the professional arena in 2004, Gulbis has been struggling to find his own playing style. Although he once broke into the top eight of the French Open in 2008, he didn't really get the hang of it until this year:

At the French Open held in May, Gulbis upset Federer and broke into the semi-finals all the way, creating the best personal Grand Slam record, and also broke into the top ten in the world ranking for the first time.

The playing style of this young master is very characteristic. His forehand draws the racket with a wide range of movements, just like the character in a fighting game needs luck before amplifying his moves. His forehand is also full of ritual, with every move and style With distinctive features, so his forehand is often difficult to be concealed—

It was even bigger and more obvious than Gawain's first-round opponent Mayer's forehand lead, so that it became his personal characteristic.

It is precisely because of the lack of concealment of the forehand that Gulbis's famous stunt in the tour is his backhand. Both are thick; coupled with excellent baseline movement and good serve ability, he has good competitiveness on clay and hard courts.

However, due to his hot temper and distraction from off-court affairs, his performance on the field fluctuated a lot, which also affected Gulbis's competitiveness. He did not stay in the top ten of the world rankings for too long; A small injury impact led to a decline in the rankings.

But no one can underestimate Gulbis, and it always takes a lot of effort to defeat him.

In Gulbis' career, he beat Djokovic in Brisbane in 2009, Federer twice in 2010 and 2014 on clay, Murray in Montreal in 2013 and twice in 2012 and 2014. Beating Berdych in Grand Slams and winning back-to-back against Tsonga in 2013 and 2014 are all impressive records.

Not long ago at the US Open, in the second round, Gulbis played against Tim. After winning two sets first, he was defeated by Tim in three consecutive sets.

In an interview after the game, Gulbis said, "The next time I meet him, I will take the initiative to admit defeat, because it can help him save energy"; but unexpectedly, Gulbis and Tim became friends.

Objectively speaking, Gulbis is the same as Mayer. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is at the peak of his career this year, and his overall state and feel are at his best. Even if Gao Wen is at his best, facing Gulbis also needs to go all out, not to mention that Gao Wen is not at his best right now, and he has to enter the second round without stopping before he recovers from the first round.

In this year's Imperial Capital Open, Gulbis was ranked the seventh seed. In the first round, he defeated the Italian player Fognini in straight sets in the first round.

Sampras believes that this is an uphill battle.

But Sampras also said that consecutively facing players with solid bottom line ability like Mayer and Gulbis will be an important help for Gao Wen to regain his state and feel.

The second round also partly confirmed Sampras' thoughts—

The correct part is that Gulbis is indeed a very solid and very difficult player. His baseline hitting ability and coverage are among the top ranks, which is a whole level higher than Mayer. This also means that , Gao Wen's offense and defense need to be further improved.

The part that is slightly off is that Gulbis is also experiencing "grand slam syndrome."
