After the Paris Masters draw is released, what is the perfect final lineup that everyone is looking forward to:
"Djokovic VS Federer"!
I am afraid that nine out of ten people will give this answer; and the remaining one is looking forward to the French local player Simon to have another outbreak after the Magic City.
However, after the top four lineups are revealed, what is the final matchup that people are looking forward to?
"Djokovic VS Gawain".
This time, eight out of ten people should give this answer; the other two people are looking forward to the special matchup of "Gawain VS Kei Nishikori".
Now, the "dream" has come true, as Gao Wen defeated Raonic and entered the final, which also means that the final will definitely be a focus.
While the press conference was going on, the two sides of another semi-final were warming up. The game hadn't started yet, but the reporters couldn't help but have their minds racing.
Djokovic and Kei Nishikori were the two opponents that Gao Wen defeated on his way to winning the US Open. This also means that the Paris Masters is a "reunion" no matter what.
With Djokovic, the world number one is obviously not satisfied with his performance at the US Open. After a long rest and adjustment, he has regained his form and is the best prepared to compete with Federer for the year-end world number one. He will definitely Give your best performance.
and Kei Nishikori, this will be the first Asian showdown on the final stage in the half-century history of the ATP Masters. The two players have joined hands to create history this season, but they are also currently competing fiercely. Who is the "Asia's No. 1"? Brother" is a question.
Two months ago, Gawain was a dark horse, with consecutive upsets.
Two months later, the dark horse has entered the public eye, and the situation is different.
Whether it is Djokovic or Kei Nishikori, this is a battle of revenge, and they must be very motivated; while the crowd is just watching the excitement and does not think it is a big deal.
Just sitting behind the computer and thinking about it was no longer enough to suppress the excitement, so the post-match press conference erupted into an unimaginable heat wave——
At this time, I am afraid that the three sponsors, Mercedes-Benz, Evian, and Gillette, should be laughing. The decision made a week ago was immediately proven to be wise.
Faced with such treatment and such a grand occasion, Gao Wen once again showed his calmness and humor in facing the media, chatting and laughing throughout the process, and his witty answers one after another kept the atmosphere in the press conference room relaxed and cheerful, and classic quotations were once again born.
"...You know, what's the most wonderful thing about Hollywood movies?"
“The protagonist can always win love, always win, always escape from death, always turn the tide, and always be able to enjoy the happiness of a passionate kiss and a cocktail under the sunset. Who can refuse one? Where’s the happy ending?”
"But the problem is that when we all know that the protagonist can always win everything in the end no matter what, the suspense, tension, excitement and ups and downs will lose their effect."
"You see, this is exactly what I like about competitive sports. The unknown, adventure, and exploration are different every time. You must go all out every time, but the point is that every time you go all out, it is not always the case. It’s about being able to get the results we want, and then we’ll go back to the training ground and continue to work hard.”
"I'm already looking forward to getting on the court tomorrow and facing another challenge."
The whole audience burst into applause.
Obviously the reporter was asking Gao Wen about his expectations for the opponent in the next match, expecting Gao Wen to name Djokovic or Kei Nishikori; but Gao Wen gave this answer:
You don’t need to face the problem head-on to have it be just as exciting.
The reporters never gave up trying to provoke Gawain.
In the past, attempts were made to provoke conflicts between the new generation and the "Big Four", and the topics of "changing dynasties" and "the waves behind pushing the waves ahead" were endless.
Later, he tried to provoke conflicts between Gawain, Djokovic and Kei Nishikori, adding a smell of smoke to the upcoming final.
Time and time again, repeated attempts and failures, repeated failures and repeated battles.
However, Gawain resolved them all perfectly and could easily digest all the attacks at his fingertips; moreover, the point is, even if he avoided the focus, Gawain was always able to liven up the atmosphere of the scene in his own way and gave reporters some space to open up new topics. .
No one wants this press conference to end.
Finally, the host of the official press conference of the event, seeing that the atmosphere at the scene showed no sign of cooling down, and that there was no end in sight, had to step forward and forcibly terminate the interview, and then released the news for this "marathon" It will come to an end.
The reporters reluctantly sent Gawain away amidst the sounds of regret and regret.
Leaving the press conference room, you can see Tobias waiting at the door.
In the past, Sampras and Peart would also habitually wait here, but gradually, they all realized that Gao Wen could easily handle the press conference and there was no need to worry at all; so, as an agent, they could only Tobias stayed because that was part of his job.
Tobias looked at Gawain up and down. He had been surrounded by reporters for so long, but he didn't feel any fatigue at all; and don't forget-
Gawain had just finished such a fierce competition.
In direct contrast, Raonic went to the press conference after the game and continued his usual dull tone, almost falling asleep.
However, the Gawain in front of him was in high spirits, and Tobias almost suspected that Gawain was even more energetic than before the press conference.
Even though Tobias boasted that he was very familiar with Gawain, he still couldn't help but marvel.
"Don't you feel burdened by so many attacks?"
"Why should you feel burdened? I think reporters look very pitiful."
Pitiful?
When Tobias heard Gawain's wording, he almost thought he heard it wrong, but looking at Gao Wen's gentle smile, he couldn't help but laugh:
He was sure that he heard correctly.
Glancing at Gawain again, he realized that Gawain was not trying to force himself up, he indeed looked very good. He still couldn't hold back the curiosity aroused by the reporters, so he asked.
"Honestly, who would you rather play against in the final?"
Objectively speaking, every player has his or her own preference, which opponent they prefer more or less, although they cannot admit it when facing reporters:
In some games, the playing styles are incompatible, and it is awkward and uncomfortable to play, no matter how you play, you will feel frustrated; in some games, it is easy to play, which is more suitable for your own batting style.
Some players are so difficult that they feel uncomfortable even if they win; some players are straightforward and comfortable no matter whether they win or lose.
These are all objective facts.
Gawain looked at Tobias, who was full of curiosity, and he shrugged, "John, you know my answer, it's always been like this, challenge yourself to the limit."
"Djokovic, obviously Djokovic."
That's number one in the world, and who doesn't want to challenge number one in the world again?
