Chichi.
Chichi.
A smile is contagious.
Nadal and Gao Wen, who were sitting directly in front, were both smiling. Even though the reporters had no idea what they were laughing at, the corners of their mouths couldn't help but rise together, so that the atmosphere in the entire press conference room became relaxed and overflowing with joy. A breath of joy.
There seemed to be a green cursed halo hanging over the head of the reporter who asked the question:
-1%, -1%, -1%…
Gawain tried to remain serious and showed a polite smile to the reporter who asked the question.
"Can't you just copy and paste Rafa's answer to me?"
ha.
Nadal was the first to not hold back, clapped his hands and burst into laughter, but this time he learned the wiser lesson and stayed away from the microphone, so the laughter did not spread and was more like an echo, lingering around him.
Gawain's smile showed six teeth neatly, like a robot.
"Nemesis?"
"How can it be."
"If I remember correctly, the last time we played against each other, I regretted that I lost the game and also lost the opportunity to create history and reach the year-end finals."
Reporters:…
Can't refute.
So far, Gao Wen and Djokovic have only met three times, with two wins and one loss. It is too early to say that they are the "nemesis"; and the last time they met, Djokovic had the last laugh, and the "nemesis" was It's even more impossible to talk about.
Wait, what else did Gawain say next?
In last year's year-end finals in London, in the semi-finals, Djokovic defeated Gawain and reached the finals with a perfect victory. However, Federer withdrew before the start of the finals, so Djokovic won without a fight.
In the end, Djokovic secured the year-end world No. 1 ranking and won the year-end finals championship.
but!
Assuming that if Gauvin defeats Djokovic in the semi-finals and advances to the final, and then Federer still withdraws due to injury, then Gauvin will be... the year-end finals champion.
what does that mean?
The first male player in history to "win only one game in the group stage and win the year-end finals championship". At the same time, he also has a series of historical records, "win the year-end finals championship for the first time", "the youngest player in history" year-end championship", "reached the year-end finals in the first season of his career" and so on.
Wow!
a step far! We are truly only one step away from opening a new chapter in history.
Previously, reporters seemed to have forgotten about this matter. After all, Gao Wen lost the game in the semifinals, and all possibilities were directly eliminated.
But looking back now, the historical significance of Djokovic's victory is completely different, and the value of the victory is even more extraordinary.
At the first moment, the thoughts of the reporters on the scene were raging, and reporters immediately followed up to ask questions.
"Gawain, what you mean is that you still can't forget that game at the O2 Stadium in London. You think you can make history, right?"
Air, burning again.
It can be clearly noticed that the excitement and joy of the reporters have risen to two levels, and they are as eager to try as a group of marmots are emerging:
Because they realized how many detonating focuses and gimmicks were hidden behind this matter.
In comparison, Gawain seemed much calmer and calmer. He did not answer in a hurry, but showed a big smile and spoke calmly.
"Of course I remember that game, it was only two months ago and my memory hasn't deteriorated that much."
This interpretation is also...a different approach.
"What surprises me even more is that you have forgotten that game. Otherwise, how could you say such an outrageous description of your nemesis?"
Shrugging shoulders and spreading hands, of course.
With ease, Gawain brought the topic back and turned against him, and then you could see the reporters on the scene were stunned.
The scene was once very joyful.
Finally, a reporter finally came to his senses and was not led by Gawain, and returned to the point again, "So are you looking forward to revenge in Doha?"
"No." Gawain answered simply and neatly without any hesitation, causing the reporters to choke and almost lose their breath.
negative?
The answer is actually no?
The reporters speculated that Gawain might do Tai Chi to avoid the sharp edges, but they didn't expect Gawain to deny it so bluntly? How is this going?
"What I need to focus on is the next game, Dustin Brown. Please show your respect. I don't think this game is a done deal."
"As for the semi-finals, that's in the future."
Light, yet tough.
A counterattack made all the reporters in the audience shut their mouths obediently.
As Gao Wen said, before the much-anticipated "Gao Wen vs. Djokovic" comes, there is still one game, and they need to respect other players.
What's more, the opponents of Gao Wen and Djokovic in the quarterfinals are not unknown people.
Djokovic is about to face the "serving machine" Karlovic. Needless to say, Karlovic is a dangerous opponent at any time and in any game.
Moreover, Djokovic and Karlovic have a record of one win each. Both games took place in 2008. If they meet again after many years, everything needs to start from scratch.
Gao Wen is about to face the "weird ball player" Dustin Brown. Although his background is not as good as Karlovic, he cannot be underestimated.
Brown, who was born in Germany, grew up in Jamaica, and later played for Germany, is widely known for his dreadlocks that are comparable to those of a comic Super Saiyan. His unique and distinctive look is definitely a unique landscape in the professional tennis world.
Brown is a very, very special player. If Monfils, Kyrgios, and Dolbogolov are famous weird players on the tour, and their hitting styles are often unexpected, then Brown's "weirdness" Definitely better.
Brown's batting can be said to be unconstrained, with two-handed volleys, two-handed side spins, inexplicable moon balls, untimely hitting the net, and a hitting rhythm that is fast and slow. It is incomparable with Xie/Shu/Wei in women's tennis. Not inferior, almost every shot is not played according to common sense.
Simply put, aliens.
Brown has his own style and his own world, so his performance is very, very unstable. He spends most of his time in challenge matches, and his world ranking is never high. He often loses games inexplicably and is very casual. Very free, currently ranked 98th.
However, once Brown enters his own hitting state, he can burst out with unimaginable energy, and his forehand is comparable to a rocket missile.
It is precisely because of this that Brown is like a time bomb in the lottery. Like Kyrgios, no one knows when he will encounter him, and what the situation will be like during the match. It will explode if you are not careful. Then things get really bad.
In terms of impact and uncertainty, Brown is even better than Karlovich, because Karlovich's routines are clear, but Brown is an unknown.
an "x".
The reporters knew this clearly, so one or two of them kept their mouths shut obediently.
