Match point

Chapter 1581
"Gowin, do you know a statistic? Since 2006, only five young players have advanced to the third round of Wimbledon. They are Murray and Djokovic in 2006 and Djokovic in 2008. Cilic in 2011, Tomic in 2014, Kyrgios in [-]."

A reporter, wearing a plaid tie and dark gray suit pants, looked stern. After standing up, he asked questions seriously.

Judging from the accent, it should be... from the German area?

Gao Wen was very familiar with Tim, and always felt that the accent of the reporter in front of him was somewhat similar to Tim's, especially in that rigid statement.

But what about the problem?

The reporter probably didn't just ask Gao Wen whether he knew this data, did he?Obviously, this is a foreshadowing, and the real problem lies behind.

"Youth, oh, I'm sorry, I almost forgot about it." Gawain showed a face of sudden realization, and burst into laughter again in an instant.

At the age of 19, strictly speaking, Gao Wen is still a young player.

Of course, as Gao Wen said, no one now treats Gao Wen as an ordinary young player because of his brilliant record and outstanding achievements.

Gawain shook his head lightly amidst low laughter, "No, I don't know this data."

So far, Gao Wen didn't speculate on the reporter's intentions, but patiently waited for the reporter to raise the following topic before making a corresponding response.

The reporter was still meticulous and serious, "So, do you know that Wimbledon may create a new history this year?"

In Wimbledon, due to fewer and fewer grass court events and more and more hard court events, the performance of young players on grass courts is getting worse and worse. Compared with the other three Grand Slams, young players in Wimbledon It is becoming more and more difficult for Bourdain to create good results, and the past decade is a microcosm.

It is not until the young players grow up slowly, adapt to the rhythm of the tour, and participate in more grass-court events, that the performance can gradually improve.

Such a predicament is really unimaginable.

You know, once upon a time, Wimbledon has always been the center stage for geniuses to shine. McEnroe, Bjorn Borg, Becker, etc. all became famous at a young age on this grass, turned out to be born, and opened their own. A legendary career; however, it is now gone forever.

"This year at Wimbledon, six young players were shortlisted for the men's singles, and three of them passed the first round and advanced to the second round."

"And in the next game, it is very hopeful that we will advance to the third round together. Once realized, this year will surpass 2006 and become the first year in the past 15 years that three young players entered the third round."

"What do you think about this? Do you think players born after 1995 have stepped onto the stage of history and entered the top competition?"

"These three players are Zverev Jr., Coric and yourself. Do you think you can represent the new generation, and what is your outlook for the next round?"

Gao Wen: ...

Didn’t these round-the-clock questions always say that the German journalists went straight and straight, but this question with nine twists and eighteen turns really took a big circle.

Now, Gao Wen can be sure that the reporter in front of him should be from Germany. After all, Zverev Jr. has also embarked on the journey of making history.

Regarding this, Gao Wen only knew one thing, but not the other.

This year's Wimbledon, on the one hand, Zverev Jr., who just turned his year last month, shoulders the hope of Germany's future leader. Younger than Gao Wen was at the US Open last year.

On the other hand, the 37-year-old German veteran Haas became the oldest men's singles player to win at Wimbledon since Conners in 1991 after advancing to the second round, which was also due to shoulder surgery after his 2014 French Open. First major after a one-year hiatus.

In the next second round, the teenager is about to face a wild card player, and he is very, very hopeful to continue to advance; while the former world No. [-] is about to challenge Raonic, and Raonic, who also returned from injury, is far from Find the best form, Haas may not have no chance.

Zverev Jr. is currently the youngest player among the top 37 in the ATP world rankings; Haas is constantly breaking records at the age of [-].

No wonder the German media was so excited and excited. After the first round of Wimbledon ended, one or two heated discussions.

Gao Wen is currently the leader of the new generation, and the German media will naturally not miss it. After all, the short-term goal of Zverev Jr. is Gao Wen.

--interesting.

The smile on the corner of Gao Wen's mouth lifted slightly, and there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes. Then, he nodded slightly, showing a polite smile.

"No, no, no, I don't think I can represent the new generation, I think, no player wants to be represented, because everyone has their own characteristics and personalities, and everyone has their own career, I don't want to. Can't represent them."

That look of earnestly drawing the line, why... a little joy?
"Of course, we've been talking about the new generation since last year, Sasha Zverev, Borna Coric, Andrei Rublev, Stefanos Sisi Paz, Daniel Medvedev, Casper-Rudd, blah blah blah."

With a crackling sound, Gao Wen popped out a series of names, and the reporters on the scene looked confused——

who?wait, who?

Those names that will be familiar in the future are still working hard in the Challenger League and even the youth arena. They are unremarkable among the bustling players, and they are completely unfamiliar to most reporters. Can't keep up, my head froze.

Including the German reporter, his eyes were straightened and he couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all.

"Look, players born after 1995 have started to enter the professional arena one after another."

"I thought, that's a good thing."

"We have the post-80s who were in their prime, the post-90s who are rising, and the post-95s who are ready to fight for a place. Of course, we must not forget the post-70s who are still fighting. In addition, the post-00s who are eagerly waiting to enter the professional tennis world..."

"For professional competitions, the more players the better, we are all young people, we are all the future, and we are all the hope of the tennis world."

"So, I wish Sasha and Borna the best of luck for the next round."

"I also hope that I am a prophet, and I can wish them great success, but now, I can't even understand the prospects of my next round of competitions, and I'm afraid I can't help it. Let's pray together, all of us can have A bright and shining future."

Come on, there was a gust of wind and rain, flickering, and the entire press conference hall was limped by flickering——

I always feel that something is weird, but I can't tell it. Is it really okay?
The German reporter nodded ignorantly, "Thank you for your blessing, and I also wish you good luck in the next round."
