Buzz buzz.
Buzz buzz.
There was a heat wave in the air, and the Atlanta Tennis Championships, which kicked off in the same week as the start of the US Open series, should be the focus, but the bizarre story of the ups and downs of the Binghamton Challenge became the darling of the news media.
Imagine that the top seed was questioned by a reporter and casually mentioned the name of an unknown person in an attempt to create a explosive point. As a result, the top seed casually said "not worth mentioning."
According to the normal development trajectory, the unknown guy is eliminated, and then the hot news disappears, and the reporters don’t remember the kid who came in easily, as if nothing happened. This is a common phenomenon in reality.
However, this "not worth mentioning" was upset all the way, defeated powerful opponents and reached the finals. He suddenly put the "theoretical possibility" finals on the stage and faced the top seed across the net, winning for himself. The opportunity to directly talk to the top seed provides reporters with brand new explosive material.
Is this really... a coincidence?
Not to mention the netizens, even the reporters were amazed and began to dig out Gao Wen's information——
I didn't think about it until now.
There is no world ranking and he is participating in a professional competition for the first time. These keywords give Gao Wen a layer of mystery, as if he jumped out of the cracks of a stone; but in-depth investigation can reveal that Gao Wen is actually the latest NCAA national champion. , although the competitive intensity of NCAA is limited, Gao Wen is definitely not a nobody.
Huh?
Now things get interesting.
Freshman, national champion, these two keywords combined equal to... a genius boy?
The difference is that little Zverev is a genius who grew up in the vocational training system. He invested heavily since childhood and showed his talent early; Gao Wen is a genius who grew up in the education system from high school to university, and lacked financial support. , choose to study and train at the same time.
But there is no doubt that one is seventeen years old and the other is about to turn nineteen. They are both freshmen who have just entered the professional tour at this time and are in a period of rapid growth. Although the ups and downs in performance may be obvious, the duel between strong players can still Vividly interprets the classic meaning of Youth Storm.
The game is worth looking forward to.
As a result, reporters became excited one by one - even if it is a challenge, as long as they are willing to work hard, they can still find explosive points worth discussing.
Look, isn’t this what it is?
The reporters patted their chests and boasted proudly, "I dug up Gawain," as if they were Billy Martin.
On the day of the final, Court No. 1 was bustling with a large number of reporters. Looking around, the interview area was actually full! Although Zverev is indeed a rising star worth looking forward to, such a battle still far exceeded the expectations of the organizing committee.
What's more important is that the attendance rate of Stadium No. 1 actually reached 100%, and all 1,000 seats were sold out!
Attendance at the Binghamton Challenge has always been solid, which is why the Challenge has been running for two decades, but 100 percent attendance hasn't been seen in nearly a decade.
People thought that the audience came here for little Zverev, but an on-site sampling survey showed that if the opponent was not Gawain, the enthusiasm of the audience would not be so high. After all, the game was completed by both parties, and one slap could not be achieved. Yes, the excitement of the game depends on both sides.
In the first round, Gauvin's match against Kokkinakis was widely circulated in the small town of Binghamton and received many praises; later Gauvin performed well in the match against Stachovski, proving once again His own strength has attracted countless fans.
Although Gao Wen ruined the beautiful scene of the top two seeds meeting in the finals, Gao Wen still won countless cheers for himself with his hard-core performance on the court, and his status as an "unknown wild card player" added to the fairy tale The halo added a mysterious color to the upcoming duel.
Indeed, Zverev Jr. is a major attraction, and because his opponent is Gawain, the audience is even more looking forward to it.
Then, after many years, Court No. 1 of the Binghamton Challenge once again welcomed 100% attendance, and the whole place was filled with heat.
Gurgling.
Gurgling.
The stadium was filled with rustling sounds, and the audience could not wait to prepare for the final showdown; the locker room was also filled with bustling heat, and a tense atmosphere quietly filled the air.
Little Zverev has a slim and slender figure. At 198 centimeters, he is half a hand taller than Gao Wen, but his weight seems to be only about 85 kilograms. He is almost the same as Gao Wen now, and is better than his peak in 2020 and 2021. It is still thinner during this period, probably because the teenagers have not fully opened up, and the muscles are obviously not tight enough.
But at this time, little Zverev can already feel the pride radiating from the inside out, and every pore in his body is written with the confidence of a proud man.
Obviously, little Zverev didn't like Gawain, and he had no intention of hiding it. He showed a condescending attitude and glanced at Gawain slightly, as if the height difference between the two people was not five centimeters, but Fifty centimeters the same, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
However, in Gawain's eyes, little Zverev was like a peacock, proudly displaying his feathers. The problem was that he was not a peacock and did not know how to appreciate it at all, so it was like appreciating a circus performance in the zoo. , with a look of encouragement in his eyes:
"Come on, Mengmeng!"
Little Zverev was slightly stung by Gawain's eyes, and seemed to be able to detect the deep meaning in his eyes. The veins on his forehead popped out, jumping and shaking, but he still suppressed his anger and turned his head away. , ignored Gawain.
When the two players came on the stage, the tense atmosphere spread. The cheers and shouts of the audience made this tit-for-tat atmosphere spread. Everyone was fanning the flames, wishing that the two players would just walk away. Get into the boxing ring and engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Naturally, the hot and tense atmosphere extended to the duel on the court. From the first point on, the two players showed high fighting spirit. Both sides tried to preemptively seize the opportunity in this youth storm. , and immediately came a long, multi-shot round of ball tug-of-war.
