"Did you take a picture with Ms. Lawanda?"
Suddenly, this seems to have become the most popular greeting in Indian Wells. If it has not achieved this goal, it is equivalent to falling behind.
The Indian Wells Organizing Committee, currently the youngest, most fashionable, most advanced and most knowledgeable official organizer in the tour, immediately noticed the emerging hot spots and keenly seized the opportunity to create waves.
The official reposted a photo of LaWanda and Federer, and tagged it with a unique hashtag, "Lawanda", and also attached the label "Ten Years" to record the years when LaWanda grew up with Indian Wells.
The topic is hot!
Even professional tennis media went to interview LaWanda. Although it was not an in-depth personal interview, it once again increased the exposure.
In the interview, Lawanda mentioned her ten years of experience as a fan. She has always been a loyal supporter of Indian Wells, even more than the US Open.
Moreover, she also mentioned the surprise and excitement of this craze. She also hopes to share her happiness with other fans, but she still has some regrets.
First of all, she is a die-hard fan of Nadal and has really liked Nadal for many years. However, unfortunately, she and Nadal have been in a strange situation this year and have never been able to meet each other. The only time she saw Nadal signing autographs and taking photos for fans was the end. The figure that left after that was just one step away.
Secondly, among the new generation of players, she likes Gao Wen the most because California is Gao Wen’s second hometown and because of Gao Wen’s playing temperament.
"I watched the live broadcast of this year's Australian Open final. Originally I was a little sad because Gao Wen eliminated Rafa, but after the whole game, how could you not like this kid? How could you not be excited by this kid's performance? And moved? Everything is like a grand magic."
However, it is also a pity that LaWanda and Gawain have never been able to meet, so that she still has not seen Gawain in person.
From player discussions to official forwarding to media reports, and finally, detonating social networks, LaWanda truly stood at the center of the topic storm——
Take Lawanda's social network personal account as an example. Before the start of this year's Indian Wells, there were only less than 5,000 followers. However, in less than two weeks, this number soared on a rocket, and it skyrocketed all the way. It has exceeded 100,000, clearly showing the storm.
And then?
"Lawanda"'s name appeared at the post-match press conference and became the core topic of reporters' questions to Gao Wen. Everything happened like this.
"Wow."
After listening to the reporter's explanation, Gawain sighed.
"It seems that I really should come out of my underground castle, otherwise I will miss so many wonderful things."
It's still self-deprecating and makes people smile.
"Obviously, it's my loss, not being able to visit this woman in person."
"For any competitive sport, we need players to be on the court and play great games against both sides, but we also need spectators."
"A game without fans and spectators is completely different. They are also an indispensable part of competitive sports."
"I think we've been emphasizing the importance of the players to the sport, but we haven't been paying enough attention to the fans."
"It's an honor to have fans like LaWanda in Indian Wells."
"She was able to grow up with each event and sport, witness the changes of this city with her own eyes, and feel this sport slowly blending into the blood of this land, allowing life, time and space to blend and collide, and let memories To be able to document a chapter of your life is really special.”
"Think about it, she has been by the side of the court, watching, admiring and recording the performances of different players over the years, witnessing those top players gradually fading out of professional tennis, such as Pete and Andre, and witnessing those young players growing up into the sky. Big trees, like Roger and Rafa.”
“Those wonderful, glorious and bright moments, as well as those regretful, bitter and sad moments, those moments that seem to have no meaning at all but look back in the future as turning points of fate, this is a kind of luck and a feat. .”
"Honestly, I'm a little jealous of Ms. Lawanda."
Effortlessly.
Talk freely.
Sometimes full of poetry, sometimes revealing true feelings, in just a few words, Gawain firmly grabbed the attention of the audience, even Dimitrov was no exception.
The whole audience was silent, just listening quietly, it was a special feeling.
Then, the conversation changed——
"It seems that jealousy should be the key word today."
I was jealous of Dimitrov before, and now I'm jealous of LaWanda, so what's next?
One sentence was enough. Gawain successfully broke the atmosphere and put a smile on the reporter's lips again.
Gawain turned to look at Dimitrov again.
"Have you met Ms. Lawanda?"
Dimitrov shook his head.
Gawain spread his hands.
"It seems that we should be the last two unlucky ones abandoned in the entire Indian Wells."
Ha ha.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Before the press conference began, there were dangers and murderous intentions.
After the press conference started, there was laughter and harmony.
Obviously, this is different from the situation planned by the reporters, and not in the slightest, it's completely different, but what else can they do?
Maybe they didn't find enough hot spots and gimmicks, but Gao Wen proved with practical actions that press conferences can actually be full of relaxation and joy; in fact, work does not need to be full of swords and swords; in fact, there are different ways to open hot topics. and angle of entry.
Not only Gawain - Dimitrov escaped unscathed again. Although he has been in the spotlight recently and has been frightened every step of the way, when he came to Indian Wells, he miraculously turned the situation around and got out of the predicament bit by bit. Things are really slowly looking up from singles to doubles.
After the press conference, Gao Wen and Dimitrov went to the fan zone to try to find the "Lady LaWanda".
It's a pity that he came back defeated.
According to the fans at the scene, LaWanda should be watching the game at Center Court. She never misses a game and always sticks to it.
Although they did not meet LaWanda, Gao Wen and Dimitrov still fulfilled the wishes of the fans at the scene, taking photos, signing autographs and hugging the three-piece suit.
After finishing the fan service, the two returned to the training ground and continued daily basic training.
Gawain needs some practice.
After arriving in Indian Wells, Gao Wen was in good condition, but the time he stayed on the court was still too little, and the intensity of the competition was still not enough.
This also means that the entire ball feel and state need to continue to be adjusted, and we cannot relax our vigilance just because of victory.
This is even more true for Dimitrov.
From all aspects, Dimitrov is indeed recovering, but he still needs more time. One singles and two doubles are not enough.
For now, it’s just the beginning——
Soon, this view was confirmed, because the combination of Gao Wen and Dimitrov lost.
