Match Point: Chapter 707 1st substitute

Chapter 708 First Substitute

"Gowan won the Paris Masters for the first time in his career, and will go to London for the first time."

"History is still being written. Gao Wen unstoppably reached the top of Paris. Next, the year-end finals?"

"The dark horse is finally no longer a dark horse. Gao Wen used the championship to fight back doubts, and won the second championship in his career!"

Breaking point, breaking point, everything is breaking point.

Sports newspapers and magazines around the world are all paying attention to the Paris Masters championship for the first time. Gao Wen once again defeated Djokovic to reach the top:

This time, it cannot be described as "upset".

Of course, from the perspective of the overall career, Gao Wen's defeat of Djokovic again is still a big upset, because this is the second consecutive victory, and it also means that Djokovic has so far been with Djokovic. Gawain's two encounters were all defeated—

That's very, very rare after Djokovic's metamorphosis by winning a Grand Slam.

However, when the media began to report, subtle changes occurred in the words and tone. Although the unpopularity is unpopular, it cannot be regarded as an accident:

"Saving five match points before and after the second set and winning the final set, Gao Wen showed his competitiveness with an unparalleled performance."

"Djokovic once had the absolute initiative in the game, but Gao Wen proved with practical actions that as long as the last point is not scored, it means the game is not over."

"The world's No. 1 team needs to review and discuss a loss. The poor performance of key points is the key point."

Regarding the details and content of the game, professionals can see that this time, they did not find excuses for Djokovic outside the court, but affirmed Gao Wen's performance objectively and realistically. It can be seen that things have quietly changed.

The Chinese mainland fell into madness.

Originally, everyone, including the media, thought that since Gao Wen had won the Grand Slam and wrote a new history, they would gradually get used to it, and they would get used to Gao Wen frequently appearing in the ranks of the top duels, so there was no need to make a fuss every time .

However, when things really happened, the joy, excitement, and happiness continued to flow out. Who can refuse the victory after a strong duel in competitive sports?

"Gao Wen Wins Paris Masters Championship for the First Time".

The time for the finals was in the early hours of the morning in mainland China, but less than ten minutes after the finals ended, this keyword topped the list of hot searches.

It can be seen from small details that more and more fans are paying attention to tennis, and more and more viewers are waiting in front of the computer and TV screens to watch the live broadcast.

In just two months, Gao Wen brought too many surprises, and the momentum of his strong rise even began to catch up with the NBA, which kicked off the new season, from the first Grand Slam champion to the first Masters The champion, Gao Wen's rising curve perfectly copied Wawrinka, allowing Huaxia fans to experience an unbelievably good time.

Hot, keep going.

but!

Wait, "Year-End Finals"? Where did this come from again?

Hasn't it been reported before that with both Kei Nishikori and Raonic entering the quarterfinals, Gao Wen's chances for the year-end finals have been completely cut off?

So why is the media mentioning London again now?

Are you sure this isn't a headline party?

of course not.

For such an important matter, even if the media wants headlines to attract attention, they dare not fabricate fake news. Just look at the ATP official website:

Media, not lying.

"Headline, Rafael Nadal officially announced the launch of the London year-end finals due to appendicitis surgery."

"Announcement: All eight seats in the ATP year-end finals have been settled, and history is being written again—

The first Asian player, the first player born in the 90s to participate; in addition, the first substitute, the first Asian player born in the 90s. "

News, published on the homepage of the ATP official website, everyone can confirm:

Gao Wen will go to London as the first substitute in the year-end finals. Regardless of whether he plays on the stage or not, he has already made history.

So, at this time, look back at the news headlines of the media:

"Going to London", "Year-end Finals?"...

Similar keywords did not confirm that Gao Wen will stand on the O2 stadium in London, but only confirmed that Gao Wen will go to London as a substitute.

First of all, Nadal's appendicitis operation was successfully completed, but he still needed to recuperate after the operation. He failed to reach the level of the competition, so he reluctantly announced his withdrawal from the year-end finals.

Secondly, after the end of the Paris Masters, the final change in the championship standings has also been completed. Next week, this list and the world ranking list will be merged into one.

Djokovic, Federer, Nadal and Wawrinka are still firmly in the top four.

Murray, Berdych, Kei Nishikori and Raonic ranked fifth to eighth respectively.

Ferrer, ranked ninth.

Ferrer, who had an advantage in the early stage, has always lacked better performance in the European indoor hard court season, and was overtaken step by step by his competitors; but because of the retirement of Spanish compatriot Nadal, Ferrer still relies on the thickness of points throughout the year Advantage, make up for the year-end finals list.

Here, Ferrer's points number is 4145.

Then, Gao Wen ranked tenth. Relying on the 1,000 points of the Paris Masters champion, he overtook Dimitrov and Cilic at the last moment and entered the top ten with 4010 points.

In other words, Gao Wen is only 135 points behind Ferrer. If Gao Wen did not rest for a week, but went to Moscow, Vienna or Stockholm to compete, the winner of these three events would be 250 points and the runner-up. It is 150 points. Does this mean that Gao Wen may directly squeeze out Ferrer to appear on the London stage?

However, there is no if.

Because such an assumption is meaningless, even if the assumption is true, temporarily ignoring the significance of that week's rest to Gao Wen, it also means that Gao Wen needs to make it to the finals for three consecutive weeks.

Not to mention that Federer, Murray, Raonic, Berdych, Kei Nishikori, etc. all the players who participated in the full attendance did not do it~www.mtlnovel.com~ Let’s further assume that Gao Wen did it—

Then, when he entered London by virtue of his ranking, Gao Wen had already competed for five consecutive weeks, and he had to face the top eight players in the world in London. How much fighting power did Gao Wen have?

Moreover, the possibility of injury from fatigue competition must not be ignored.

So, no assumptions needed.

No matter what, Gao Wen relied on his outstanding performance in Valencia and Paris, and miraculously relied on only four months of professional performance to win the first substitute seat in the year-end finals.

Dimitrov is the second substitute.

The most important thing is that in the latest issue of the world rankings, Gao Wen will also officially overtake Dimitrov and Cilic, continue to break new highs in the personal world rankings, and enter the top ten for the first time in his career.

This is how history is made!

Following Kei Nishikori, Gao Wen wrote the history of Asian men's players.

After Raonic, Gawain wrote the history of the younger generation.
