Clear eyes, firm eyes——
It can be seen from Gawain's eyes that he believes in Tim and sincerely believes that Tim is a powerful opponent. It is definitely not just because of friends or polite words; at the same time, he also believes in himself, and he must Only by working hard can we win the final victory.
This belief shone brightly in the silence of the audience, eclipsing all doubts and provocations.
Buzz buzz.
The air in the press conference room surged quietly.
But why?
The reporters were puzzled.
In their view, the self-confidence and strength of "seeing the small mountains at a glance" are human nature. Even the Big Four are no exception. After experiencing many challenges, they have reached the top and once again face the challenges of low rankings and young players. , even some pride and contempt are completely normal.
Arrogance can also be understood as domineering and powerful.
It is precisely because of this that there are countless cases where top players have been overthrown by dark horses. Among various complex reasons, lack of sufficient psychological preparation will inevitably play a role. Whether it is contempt or arrogance, in the final analysis, it is that they lack sufficient understanding of such a situation. preparation.
However, Gawain did not——
It can be deeply felt that Gao Wen is confident, strong and determined, but at the same time, he also respects these low-ranking and young players from the bottom of his heart.
It's not just Tim.
This wisdom is evolving into a unique charm that is fascinating. So, is Gawain really only nineteen years old?
In fact, if reporters can clearly know the future blueprint like Gao Wen:
Tim will be able to reach the Grand Slam finals four times in the future, and win the US Open championship in 2020, but the French Open has always been his best performance, with four consecutive semi-finals, two consecutive finals, and even winning the "Clay Court" The title of "Little Prince" is generally considered to be Nadal's successor.
Then, reporters can understand Gao Wen, stay humble, stay respectful, stay nervous. Even if the world rankings between himself and Tim are so different, they will never take it lightly. Standing on the clay court, with the most anticipated and most positive attitude posture to welcome this second round showdown.
Unfortunately, reporters don’t know that no one can predict the future.
As a result, Gawain appeared in front of reporters like a mystery, inadvertently showing his charm and conquering Paris bit by bit.
Until the end of the press conference, the reporters' chattering discussion was still not over, and the confused conversations could be caught in their ears——
“Has he always been like this?”, “Was it like this in Melbourne before?”, “God, is he really only nineteen years old?”…
I am afraid that Gawain himself did not expect such a situation, but even if Gawain knew the truth, he would not be able to answer this riddle for the reporters.
Maybe, this is good, retaining a touch of mystery, like magic.
After the interview, Gao Wen did not go to the gym immediately for post-match relaxation training, but returned all the way to the lounge of the Susan Lenglen Stadium.
From a distance, Gawain could see Sinner who was watching the big TV screen intently——
At this time, Wawrinka's game is underway.
Last year, Wawrinka arrived at Roland Garros with huge expectations and pressure. The attention brought by the two championships of the Australian Open and Monte Carlo reached a new level. He was once considered the favorite to win the French Open, but he was upset in the first round. , which also triggered a denunciation of him by the media.
Obviously, Wawrinka did not handle the pressure well. He was in the center of the storm and lost himself in the light and shadow.
This year, the situation is completely different.
On the one hand, the Australian Open and Monte Carlo both failed to defend the title, and the clay court season has had its ups and downs, and those attentions have almost disappeared.
On the other hand, the "Challenger Alliance" has emerged in an all-round way. He is no longer the Don Quixote who challenges the Big Four alone, and the pressure has been greatly relieved.
Therefore, Wawrinka's performance was much better when he set foot on Roland Garros again; moreover, he had good luck in signing this year and faced Marsel Ilhan in the first round——
Ranked 85 in the world, he has only won two main matches at the French Open in his entire career.
Playing in a low-key manner and lowering expectations, even being squeezed out of Philippe Chartier and Susanne Lenglen in the first round, Wawrinka quietly stepped onto Court No. 1.
Perhaps Wawrinka can find his form instead.
Just as Gauvin arrived, Wawrinka broke serve and took the lead in the first set.
"ah!"
Sinner clenched his fists, stood up suddenly, and cheered for Wawrinka.
As a result, Sieglinde and Mark sitting next to him were both frightened.
Unlike Sinner, both Sieglinde and Mark were watching the people coming and going in the lounge——
Ivanovic is in charge of the last big pivot at the Suzanne Lenglen Stadium today.
Although Kei Nishikori's game was in progress at this time, Ivanovic had also arrived at the Susan Lenglen Stadium to start preparations. The staff coming and going suddenly became turbulent. At this time, you could feel that "Superstar" ostentation”.
After all, Ivanovic is the current star of Adidas. In the women's tennis market, she is the only market superstar who can compete with Sharapova and Serena Williams. As long as her games are played, the box office will be huge. no need to worry.
It is precisely because of this that when Ivanovic was squeezed into Susan Lenglen, it caused an exclamation; but at the same time, Ivanovic was able to squeeze out Gao Wen and serve as Susan Lenglen today. The big axis appears in Paris, and her appeal is indeed far greater than that of Gawain.
Sieglinde and Mark were both eye-opening, but were shocked by Sinner.
"Yannick!"
Mark shouted, and then he happened to see Gawain walking towards him. He was frightened and stood up suddenly, like a student who was caught by the teacher stealing snacks.
"Gawain!"
Stand up, salute, and involuntarily close your legs, showing a posture of standing at attention.
This action made the smile flow from Gawain's eyes.
"Mark, we just met yesterday, didn't we? I don't know how to eat people, really, I swear."
A small joke lightens the atmosphere.
Then Sinner came back to his senses, clenched his fists and raised them high. He jumped up. He almost blurted out cheers and shouts, but then he realized that he shouldn't lose his composure and quickly shut his mouth. , controlling his urge to scream, his smile still bloomed.
"Congratulations, Gawain." Cinna gasped for air, and thousands of words finally turned into such a short sentence.
Seeing Xinner's face full of sincerity and eyes shining, even happier than his client, this made Gawain's chest feel full, "Thank you for coming to watch my game."
Sincerely.
It's not because of Nike's jersey campaign.
In fact, the jersey event has ended, and the program team has withdrawn and did not come to the Susan Lenglen Stadium. All the subsequent things were done by Gawain to trouble Tobias, just to confront Xin. Na said what he just said:
Thanks.
