Match point

Chapter 1396

The torrential rain finally came, the sky was like a hole, and the amount of rain comparable to flood discharge fell clearly, and the world shrank to the bottom of the eaves like this.

The French Open Organizing Committee has made all the preparations, but the turbulent rainfall still far exceeded expectations, and the whole Roland-Garros became wet.

However, Roland-Garros still has a large number of spectators who are not far away. They gather indoors in twos and threes to shelter from the rain and wait for the rain to stop; Dancing in the sky, bravely embrace the storm.

Waiting is still the key word——

Ahead, waiting for the rain.

Now, waiting for the rain to stop.

Unfortunately, they are doomed to be disappointed.

Time passed slowly, but the rainstorm showed no signs of stopping. The endless rain soaked Paris in the last chill before the summer, and the sycamore leaves scattered all over the ground outlined a touch of depression and decadence. Get ready, night has fallen.

At 43:[-] p.m., the organizing committee, which pays close attention to the weather all the time, finally made a final decision after postponing the start time twice in a row, announcing that all remaining games for today will be canceled and postponed until tomorrow. All schedules will be readjusted.

Gawain shrugged slightly, "If I say no, would you believe me?"

"One game, one game after another, all the way to the second week, it's been far beyond expectations. Although Pete didn't say it, I heard that after the third round, Pete and Andre were in the room Drank and cried for a while."

"One day is like summer, one day is like autumn, and occasionally it is like winter." The spring and summer communication in Paris is so colorful, and it is not inferior to London.

He handed Gao Wen a sports coat.

Heavy rain is only a part of it, because today's abnormal heavy rain will change tomorrow's temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc., and finally act on the red soil, be absorbed and transformed, and may even present a completely different hitting effect. is the real test.

Naturally, the degree of attention was not trivial. The media had been paying close attention to Gao Wen's first press conference at Roland Garros.

Gao Wen:? ? ?
The first question after a brief interruption, Gao Wen was confused, looked at the questioning reporter in astonishment, and was stunned for a moment before he realized——

Routine question.

It is worth mentioning that in the ATP, no player can reach the second consecutive championship after the first Grand Slam, until Gao Wen completed such a feat; while in the WTA, although there are players who can win the Grand Slam for the first time Just won the second time, but so far no one has been able to reach the top three times in a row.

The scene was full of low laughter again, so, were they deceived by Gao Wen, or not?
interview, continue.

Players are more sensitive to temperature changes, especially Gao Wen has just experienced a three-hour fierce battle, and the recovery of the body will take more time.

This is Paris, this is Roland Garros.

"Gao Wen, this is your first clay-court season and your first trip to Roland Garros. Did you expect your current performance?"

In other words, the breakthrough that Gao Wen is chasing is not only once in ten years, but also once in a hundred years.

At this time, you need to pay more attention. Otherwise, during the grand slam, an unexpected cold or headache, although not a serious illness, is definitely not a good thing. These details are often invisible outside the game but are very important The parts, everything needs professional care.

However, Pelt's appearance slightly interrupted some progress——

"Before the start, I didn't expect to be able to enter the second week. In fact, when I saw the name of the first-round draw against Francis, I thought, this is bad, the first round of the Grand Slam is out. The experience may come sooner than expected, and I am ready."

Unexpected, but not unexpected.

"No, I still don't think I'm a favorite to win."

but--

After Gao Wen's post-match press conference was briefly interrupted, it continued.

No words are needed, the suspicious eyes are the best answer.

This means that tomorrow's schedule will be very crowded, and if the rain interferes again, the follow-up schedule will be even worse.

Moreover, we also need to consider the overall background. Djokovic has been chasing his first French Open champion to complete the Grand Slam; since Nadal's rise in 2005, the French Open champion has only fallen once in 2009, and the Big Four have the best overall performance. The strong ones are the French Open and Wimbledon.

This also means that some players who have advanced to the quarter-finals may need to play for three consecutive days, which is another test for the state adjustment of the Grand Slam.

"After learning that the fourth round was going to be against Joe, my parents had packed their bags and booked a wine tour for a relaxing vacation to the wine country of Dijon, and they asked me to check it out Dominique and Gregor, see if they have a plan."

Apparently, because of the mineral water "incident", the reporters were very sensitive, and they paid extra attention to Gao Wen's every move. Coupled with the special jersey event that swept the entire social network before the opening of the French Open, Nike's marketing case added another brilliance. So much so that they couldn't help but start brainstorming.

In other words, once Gao Wen can reach the top of the French Open, the entire history of tennis will enter a new chapter.

Haha, hahaha.

However, this is not over yet.

"Before the tournament started, you once said that you were not the favorite to win the championship; but now that you have entered the quarterfinals, do you still think so?"

"...Gao Wen, may I ask, is this a special jersey event?"

puff.

However, for Gao Wen, nothing has changed.

Gao Wen was not angry, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "It seems that I am a good spokesperson."

After finishing speaking, Gao Wen tidied up the collar of his coat, fully displaying the Nike logo——

Indoors, damp and cold, dull and churning.

"They've also been very active in finding a whole bunch of 'I can only look at but not eat' delicacies, gearing up to savor them."

reporter:……

The words themselves were nothing, but Gao Wen's tone was light and cheerful, with a kind of self-deprecating banter, and the whole atmosphere became more relaxed.

In this year's Roland Garros, because Gao Wen continued to maintain the unbeaten record of the career Grand Slam, so related questions have not stopped.

The French Open, which was not disturbed by rain, seemed "unusual" on the contrary. The changeable and sudden weather conditions are the charm of Roland-Garros.

Laughter, bursting, especially the scene where Sampras and Agassi cuddled in their arms, that picture!
Just can't stop.

"As I said before, this is my first time at Roland Garros, with low expectations, focused on the present, and taking it game by game."

Gao Wen obediently put on his coat, but the air felt a little stuffy, so he rolled up his sleeves and opened the zipper, and continued to accept the interview.

And as Gao Wen continued to win round after round, the attention continued to rise, and today ushered in a new peak.

Whoa whoa whoa!
Outside the window, the torrential rain was like a waterfall, and the thunder was rolling.

"pity."

"Now I don't know if I can contact the travel agency to postpone the schedule. I hope the handling fee will not be too expensive."

Hilarious.

In the audience, no one can be an exception.
