The words were concise and concise, and without many words at all, Gao Wen could feel the eagerness of the reporters. The air in the entire press conference room was boiling. In a trance, Midsummer had already entered Roland Garros in advance.
But personally, he always remained calm and objective.
"...No, of course not."
"Please respect Stan and respect Roger. Since Stan can beat Roger, it proves that Stan is the better team today, and it also proves that Stan is one of the best players in the past two weeks. I am not Think it’s going to be easy against Stan.”
"What's more, I know very clearly that when Stan enters his own field, he can beat any player in the world. Even if you don't remember the Australian Open last year, you should not forget the game that just ended today. Well, Stan beat Roger again."
"Guys, don't make things look so easy just because you are not the one standing on the court facing Stan's firepower. This is not good. You will teach the children bad things."
"Trust me, you don't want to face Hulk Stan."
Haha, hahaha.
Laughter surged again.
The tense atmosphere just disappeared quietly into the joyful laughter, and the press conference hall regained its joyful scene.
Along with this, the reporters’ questions also softened.
"Gavin, we noticed that there was a pattern in the first few rounds of Roland Garros this year. In the games against Dominic, Joe and Rafa, their physical strength declined in the last set, resulting in a serious decline in the quality of the game. situation, but you gritted your teeth and passed the test.
Have you noticed this detail?
But after encountering consecutive fierce battles, are you worried about your physical strength in the future? Will this become a variable in the game against Stan? "
Questions, centered around the competition, are considered professional questions——
Against Tim, fourth set, "6:1".
Against Tsonga, fifth set, "6:2".
Against Nadal, fourth set, "6:2".
Indeed, entering the second half of the game, people expected the duel to become increasingly tense and intense, and that they would be able to see more exciting confrontations; but the reality was contrary to expectations. Ending the game with a disparity in the score always seemed a bit anticlimactic. It is undoubtedly a pity.
However, this is the case in competitive sports, and unknown factors always exist, especially on clay courts, where fluctuations in physical fitness play a more important role.
Including the Big Four, their physical fitness in the second week of Roland Garros all suffered serious fluctuations in the progress of the game.
In fact, with calm analysis, everything is traceable.
Thiem just won the championship in Nice the week before. For him, the second round match with Gao Wen was already equivalent to the second week of a Grand Slam.
Tsonga's physical strength is not his strong point in the first place, and his return from injury has led to insufficient physical reserves. It is normal for him to be weak after fighting hard to the final set.
Nadal was in poor form throughout the entire clay court season. In the match with Gauvin, he fought so hard in the first three sets that his form continued to decline at the end of the third set. This can be regarded as a microcosm of his poor form throughout the season.
In other words, these are all objective reasons.
But it is very interesting to appear in Gawain's games again and again. No wonder reporters mention it.
Of course, another important reason is that the first five rounds of Gao Wen's matches were all tough battles. The time, energy and physical exertion of the game were all very important. This also means that Gao Wen's physical fitness may also become a factor of uneasiness.
All the eyes of the audience were focused on Gawain.
"Oh, if you don't tell me, I haven't noticed it yet."
"This shows that my performance in the first few rounds this year was really good."
Gawain thought about it seriously, as if he was recalling the previous game, but as he thought about it, his eyes slowly closed, as if he fell asleep.
Reporters:? ? ?
What's happening here?
Everyone looked at each other, but no one could give an answer. Should they continue to wait? Is Gawain sick? Or a prank? So what should we do next? Will Gawain finish answering the questions?
"...Gawain?"
After all, a reporter couldn't hold back and shouted cautiously.
Gawain opened his eyes suddenly, "Huh?" he exclaimed, just like a student who was caught sleeping in class and pretended that nothing happened, "I feel fine, everything is fine."
As he spoke, he blinked, emphasizing that he had not fallen asleep just now.
One second, two seconds, and then the reporters finally reacted:
mischief.
Gawain was mocking himself. His physical strength was at its lowest point. He was already weak on the outside, but he still pretended to be strong.
This is the answer to the reporter’s question——
ha.
Ha ha ha ha.
Whistling could even be heard, reporters were cheering one after another, and some people were shouting "Oscar". The scene was extremely lively.
Gawain didn't mind either, raising his right hand to signal, just like a top star attending the Oscars red carpet and responding to the screams of the audience in this way. The elegant gentleman's appearance once again made the scene burst into laughter.
At this time, Gawain brought the topic back.
"We all know that Roland Garros tests players in all aspects, so I am particularly grateful to my team for always strictly supervising my training."
"I did not make full use of the 'fifteen-minute cell phone break' to play games, but continued to sweat while swearing on the court. This is a very, very lucky thing. Thank you for their hellish training."
Smile.
The curvature of the corners of his smiling mouth clearly said "duplicity", once again making laughter and applause intertwined in the press conference room.
"But I think I'm ready to go up to Philippe Chartier again and go head-to-head with Stan, and I'm looking forward to becoming the better side."
"Wait, is it confirmed now that it's Philippe Chartier, or is it Susan Lenglen?"
...beautifully black!
As we all know, the semi-finals will all go to Philippe Chartier, but Gawain deliberately said this at this time, obviously to complain about Ethan's little revenge today——
Of course, people may say that Ethan is the one who beats Federer, and they are the ones who benefited from the match between Gauvin and Nadal when Philippe Chattier entered the match. There is really no need for Gauvin to take advantage and act like a good boy.
But in Gao Wen's view, the players are one. Yisern did not show the pattern and mind of the tournament director at all. Instead, he got angry at the players because his mistakes were pointed out. Today Yisern can give Federer the lead, but tomorrow Yisern Well, you can target Gao Wen and any other player.
After all, even Federer had to swallow this dumb loss, let alone other players?
Gawain was full of disdain for Ethan's behavior.
Bold, sharp, sharp——
It must be said that Gawain's actions showed courage.
However, Gawain complained in such an understated... French way that the reporters couldn't help but applaud one after another.
