"Obviously Gowan has been doing really well lately but I also know I'm going to beat him."
Zverev's provocation skills must have been fully utilized. A simple sentence could easily make the reporters in the audience excited to the point of explosion.
Is this edge or stupidity?
This is like Kyrgios saying, "No matter how many Grand Slam championships Djokovic wins, he is not the GOAT."
But at least Kyrgios has the confidence to maintain a clean victory against Djokovic twice in his career, so this Australian bad boy said,
"You can never be the best of all time if you can't beat me."
Of course, victory is victory, and there is nothing wrong with that.
However, it is undoubtedly one-sided and narrow to judge whether a player is great based solely on his record against that player.
The only thing that can be 100% certain is that Kyrgios has always looked down on Djokovic, and there is a kind of contempt and disdain in his bones.
So, what about little Zverev?
Who gave him his courage and confidence?
Although Gawain's current status has not reached the level of the Big Four, he has stood out among the new generation and is a well-deserved leader.
Is it really okay for little Zverev to talk so wildly?
Reporters: Okay, it’s great, it’s great, it’s great, it couldn’t be more perfect, okay?
The reporters were so excited that their brains were about to explode. The breakthrough point and stunt they had been waiting for finally appeared, and they were just a hair away from cerebral hemorrhage.
As a result, there was a brief silence in the press conference hall, and the questions in my mind needed to be sorted out a little before I could find the fatal point and launch an attack.
Then, after a short breath, a reporter immediately seized the opportunity——
You would be a fool to miss it.
"Sasha, this is the first ATP level match between you and Gao Wen in your career, but before that, you have met in a challenger, right?"
"Do you remember the score of that game?"
Zverev Jr.: His face is earthy.
Obviously, the reporter was prepared to provoke:
He did not ask Zverev Jr. about his thoughts or the changes in the ATP meeting. Instead, he pointed directly at the score. His tactical intention to humiliate Zverev Jr. and continue to fan the flames was clear.
The subtext is a direct attack: Is Zverev really sure and certain that he can defeat Gawain? Really?
Little Zverev fell into the trap easily. He tried his best, gritted his teeth, and managed to keep a smile, but after all, he was still young, and that smile was uglier than crying.
In front of these jackals, tigers and leopards, little Zverev is still too young and naive.
Hit someone but don't slap them in the face.
But for reporters, this rule should be slightly changed. Hitting people only hits people in the face, and the shots must be quick, accurate and hard to achieve the best effect.
The reporter was worried that other reporters did not have the investigation information, or that Zverev was too forgetful, so he gave a friendly reminder without waiting for a response.
""6:2", "6:0", do you still remember?"
After saying that, the reporter showed a bright smile. Bai Sensen's teeth looked exactly like those of a shark.
He.
There was a lot of rustling sounds at the scene. Obviously, there were indeed some reporters who had not completed the pre-investigation and did not know about this matter at all.
In fact, the Challenger League and ATP are completely different things and there is no comparison.
Such as Nadal and Gasquet.
During the teenage years and the Challenger League period, Gasquet basically won, and Nadal rarely won, but it was a different story when he transitioned to the professional arena.
It is precisely because of this that professional tennis reporters will not deliberately investigate the results of the Challenger League, because the reference value is very low and is more of an anecdote.
But now, when I actually heard the score, I was still a little surprised——
After all, Zverev had already won the Hamburg ATP 250 event in April last year and was competitive at the professional level.
(This chapter is not finished yet!)
1122 Hit someone in the face
As a result, Gao Wen was able to defeat his opponent easily. It seems that before the rise of the US Open, there were already clues of the miracle.
If little Zverev is mature enough and calm enough, he can face the challenge record calmly, and he can easily get over it with a joke:
The challenge is a challenge, and the professional event is a professional event. "I also hope that a new chapter can be opened next." This is enough.
Unfortunately, this is still too difficult for an eighteen-year-old boy.
Faced with the siege of journalists, Zverev was still thin-skinned. He slapped him in the face, which was so hot and painful that his cheeks instantly turned red.
"I'm going to beat him."
Little Zverev used all his strength to squeeze out the words from between his teeth. It seemed that he could hear the impact of his teeth that were about to break.
From last week's Indian Wells to this week's Miami, all the old and new hatreds surged up, and even I didn't realize it, clenching my fists.
Then, repeat it again.
"I will defeat him."
Strong faith.
In the press conference room, the reporters were a little bit unbearable, fearing that if they pressed a few more questions, the poor young man in front of them would explode on the spot.
By then, there would have been five steps of blood splattering, and the picture might not have been pretty. In the end, the reporter stopped making things difficult for Zverev, and there was Gawain anyway.
It was obviously a post-match press conference against Rublev, but only two questions were asked, and then Zverev couldn't wait to be mentioned.
The reporter quoted Zverev’s exact words intact, “He said he would beat you.”
Moreover, in order to increase the credibility of his words, he also emphasized, "These are his original words."
The excitement that was eager to try could not be suppressed, and one could clearly feel the joy that filled his whole body.
The smile in Gawain's eyes surged, and he nodded slightly.
"I know you emphasized that you quoted the exact words, twice."
"So now we finally know what journalists do if they want to sow discord and distort the facts."
Reporter: ...can they use swear words?
In normal times, reporters use every possible means to stir up trouble by fabricating topics, including taking things out of context, over-interpreting things, and looking at pictures to speak volumes.
Even if they are other people's real words, they have interpreted them themselves and then paraphrased them. How can they completely quote the original words? That's so boring.
But now, Gawain has broken their peep show with just a few words at his fingertips. Is this really good?
The reporter on the scene, his head full of black lines:
Shouldn't Gawain's enemy be little Zverev? But why did Gawain actually open fire on reporters, injuring innocent people, and had promised that "the two armies would not kill the envoys during the war"?
However, some reporters could not hold back their smiles and quickly lowered their heads to cover up the raised corners of their mouths. They had to sigh, Gawain was indeed Gawain.
The reporters came prepared and were ready to open fire in succession. However, they were shaken by Gao Wen's four or two moves. The accumulated momentum was instantly stagnated, and then the balance between active and passive situations was broken and reversed silently.
Looking at the smiling Gawain in front of them, they were 100% sure and certain:
Gawain did it on purpose.
