"I guess they should be a little disappointed. The plan to visit New York needs to be postponed." Gao Wen said jokingly.
Amidst the laughter, Gao Wen continued to explain, "Actually, my parents and I haven't seen each other for a long time. This time they came to New York just to cheer me up and hope that I can concentrate on the game; but the real purpose They are here for vacation, and they also need an excuse to break away from their daily life and take a short vacation, but they just didn't expect..."
"I didn't expect that the travel plan was disrupted." McEnroe took the initiative to take over the conversation and laughed without hesitation. "So are they there now?"
Gao Wen waved towards his players' box and said in Chinese, "Mom, I'm sorry, I disrupted your travel plans."

"here."

"It's the most incredible thing to stand in Arthur Ashe Stadium and play in front of thousands of people, surrounded by howling wolves."

"These cheers, these applause, these faces, including these boos..."
Hahaha. The whole audience burst into laughter.
"All of these things make the game special."
With simple and unpretentious words, Gawain conveyed his true feelings——

boom!
Boom boom boom!
All media around the world have given praise. Not only China, all major media have immediately paid attention to it, from the upset defeat of Isner in the first round to winning three consecutive games to reach the second place. Zhou, even if the label of "Chinese men's player" is removed, it is very amazing.
Throughout the long history of men's professional tennis, there is only one player who can create such a feat.
Sergi-Bruguera, the two-time French Open champion, has two proud records in his career:
First, he is the only player in professional tennis who has a leading win-loss record against the two legendary champions Sampras and Federer at the same time.
Second, Bruguera made his first Grand Slam appearance at the French Open in 1989, and reached the fourth round, setting a record that no one has been able to break so far - it was also at the French Open that year, Seventeen-year-old Zhang Depei became the youngest French Open champion in history.
However, Bruguera had been competing in tennis for more than half a year at that time. When the French Open opened, his world ranking had risen to 44, so the upset was not as "cold" as imagined. It should be said that it was more about the brilliance of the star of tomorrow.
In addition, there is another person who is closest to such a historical record——
John McEnroe.
It was McEnroe who had just interviewed Gao Wen on the court. In 1977, McEnroe moved from youth to adult competition. McEnroe passed the qualifying test and participated in the French Open and Wimbledon consecutively. He first reached the second round at the French Open and then again at the French Open. Wimbledon appeared like a comet and reached the semi-finals with a bang.
Including the qualifying rounds, McEnroe won eight games in a row at that time, and finally lost to Jimmy Connors in the semifinals. Unfortunately, he could not go further.
At that time, McEnroe, who was only 18 years old, had unparalleled talent and unbridled personality. He made a brilliant debut and truly created a miracle. Even now, many years later, no one can break it, even just one. Even getting close is very, very difficult.
It is precisely because of the incredible performance of these legendary figures that it further highlights Gawain's amazing performance, which is enough to make people look at him in the long history. Compared with Bruguera and McEnroe, Gawain's performance No less impressive.
