No one could have expected that the drama series "Gawain vs. Australia" would unexpectedly grab the headlines and become one of the biggest highlights of the 2015 Australian Open.
Absolutely real, completely out-of-the-box, live.
Wonderful! Enjoy it with gusto! All eyes are on you!
Before the start of the third round, the discussion on the "Gavin vs. Tomic" game was rising at a speed visible to the naked eye on social networks.
Even professional sports reporters from different media have published relevant discussions on their own social network platforms while writing articles.
The sight is fully focused.
This is definitely an unexpected topic!
But why?
Could it be that Gawain’s personal grudges with Kyrgios, Kogkinakis and others were revealed?
Apparently not.
In fact, everything is a coincidence. Before the match between Gao Wen and Tomic landed at Hisense Stadium, two things happened at the Australian Open on the fifth match day:
One.
Australian players suffered heavy losses in succession. Stosur lost to American player Coco Vandeweghe and was eliminated in the second round. This also meant that there were no local players in the women's singles draw. Overturned.
At the same time, the men's singles field has also suffered a devastating blow. Among the ten players who have entered the main draw so far, after the end of the fourth match day, only the last two are left, Kyrgios and Tomic, and the others All players are eliminated.
Just two days ago, the Chinese media were still lamenting that the overall performance of this year's singles was disappointing, while Australian fans were cheering. However, they did not expect that the tide would turn, and the hustle and bustle of the party had not had time to fully settle, and then Australia also ushered in a crisis. The crisis of group destruction.
Second.
On the fifth match day, the Australian Open experienced the biggest upset since its start:
The third matinee match at Rod Laver Arena, Federer vs. Seppi——
right! It’s the Seppi in the “Seppi’s Law” that only works against Federer.
As of this year's Melbourne Park, Federer has maintained an impressive record of winning ten games against Seppi, even losing only one set. The overall performance is very strong; however, in these ten events, after Federer defeated Seppi, all of them failed. Being able to reach the top of the championship is a strange thing in tennis.
For Federer fans, this is not a good thing, because even if Federer defeats Seppi, I am afraid that this year's Australian Open championship will be a bit in doubt.
But at least one thing is certain, if Federer wants to continue his championship hopes, he must beat Seppi.
From all aspects, Federer has no chance of losing.
However, "3:1".
The winner was Seppi, who not only ended his ten-game losing streak against Federer, but also caused the biggest upset since the start of this year's Australian Open.
This loss ended Federer's eleven consecutive years of reaching the semi-finals at Melbourne Park, and also created Federer's worst record at the Australian Open in fourteen years.
Before the Australian Open, Federer had just won the Brisbane championship and won the 1,000th victory of his career. He was considered the favorite to win the championship. The quarter-final match between Federer and Murray in the 4/4 area was also after the draw was released. The most anticipated matchup did not expect to end in the third round.
When fans expected Federer to break "Seppi's Law", they did not expect that Federer would simply lose to Seppi this time.
So far, Federer still has not been able to break the two-year Grand Slam championship drought; and what is even more frightening is that the effects of age and injuries are gradually becoming apparent:
Last year at the US Open, Federer lost to Cilic, who had won five matches; at this year's Australian Open, Federer lost again to Seppi, who had been undefeated in ten matches.
The 33-year-old Federer is bound to face more challenges in the rest of his career.
It was a "bad day" for Federer, and for Federer fans, it was many, many, many "bad days."
"Who would have thought that Federer would also be one of those people who stopped in the first week of a Grand Slam."
"Federer was annoyed by Seppi's Law, so he just lost to Seppi this time."
"My Australian Open ends here."
"Heartbroken. Federer actually stopped in the first week of a Grand Slam. Who can tell me that this is not true."
"When was the last time Federer was eliminated in the first week of a Grand Slam? It was last century."
There is no doubt that Federer is still the most popular player in Melbourne. The vast number of fans are looking forward to the Swiss King to achieve another great result. However, they did not expect that he was suddenly hit with a slap in the face, so that the fans and spectators were a little dizzy. The whole world All spin.
Sad, lamented, lost, confused, dull.
The low air pressure permeating Melbourne Park slowly dragged the ankles of Federer fans down, more or less allowing Australian fans and Chinese fans to find resonance——
In any case, fans who like Federer are spread all over the world. Putting aside other competitions, at this moment, they are all in the same world.
It was against this background that the game between Gao Wen and Tomic came on stage.
Chinese fans are eager for a victory to awaken their enthusiasm, while Australian fans are eager for a victory to brighten their day like never before.
After all, now that the men's and women's singles draws have all been added up, Australia has only the last two hopeful seeds left, and they are more sincere than ever.
The right time, the right place, the right people.
Although it is not appropriate to use it here, it is precisely because things collide one after another and complete the superposition that all eyes are directed towards "A scene that shouldn't attract too much attention is just ordinary." The third round of the contest was a contest with no gimmicks, no topics, and no hatred.”
Can you imagine?
In fact, this is the first confrontation and encounter between Gawain and Tomic.
Even the Australian Open Organizing Committee itself did not expect such a situation when making arrangements for the next day's schedule halfway through the fourth match day.
When there are two local players playing, one is Kyrgios playing against Serbian player Victor Troicki, both of whom are unseeded players, and one is Gao Wen playing against Tomic, not only Gao Wen is No. 8 Seed, and Tomic is also a rising star who became famous earlier.
As a result, Kyrgios once again entered the night game at Margaret Court Stadium, and even Murray was squeezed into the Hisense Stadium; then the game between Gao Wen and Tomic was also arranged at the Hisense Stadium.
It can be seen from here that the organizing committee really never dreamed that the focus of attention would be overwhelmingly directed towards Gawain and Tomic.
Strictly speaking, the series "Gawain vs. Australia" has actually released two episodes, against Tomic. This should be the third episode of the series. The first two episodes only caused some discussion on a small scale, but the third episode, Fifteen minutes after Seppi's upset victory over Federer, he landed at Hisense Arena.
Then--
exploded.
The ratings just exploded.
