Chapter 1670 The Ultimate Challenge
In the past ten years, the most glorious and brightest in the men's tennis world, through one event after another, one game after another, and year after year of competition, the pattern of the Big Four was gradually formed, which also made the Grand Slam championship The difficulty of the course has risen several levels. After all, the Big Four are all at their peak.

At the same time, there is an ultimate challenge hidden besides the four Grand Slam championships. It has nothing to do with the championship, but it is more difficult than the championship. It is an irreplaceable ultimate challenge for all players who have been active in professional tennis in the past ten years. To some extent, it even exceeds the value of the four Grand Slams——

As mentioned before, there are only a handful of players who can defeat all four giants in their careers; and defeating all four giants in the four Grand Slams, the five-set best-of-five game makes this one The difficulty of the challenge climbed straight up, comparable to climbing Mount Everest.

Plus, beating the Big Four when they were No. [-] in the world is another challenge on a different level.

However, climbing Mount Everest is difficult, but not impossible.

Tsonga.Berdych.Wawrinka.

The above three players have defeated the four giants in the four Grand Slams, climbed to the top of Mount Everest, and have a glimpse of all the mountains.

This is human beings, and this is competitive sports. No matter how difficult or extreme the challenge is, there are still people who continue to challenge it one after another.

However, there is one exception -

It is very, very difficult to beat all four giants in the four majors, but it is very difficult to beat them separately in the Grand Slams where the giants are best.

This is basically equivalent to the plan to emigrate to other planets, which sounds beautiful but no one can achieve it.

Maybe it can be realized in 100 years, but at least there is no hope in the short term.

— beat Djokovic at Melbourne Park.

—Beating Nadal at Roland Garros.

— beat Federer at Wimbledon.

Triple hit!
Tsonga, Wawrinka, and Berdych couldn't do it, del Potro couldn't do it, and even Murray, one of the giants, couldn't do it.

Perhaps, among the three ultimate challenges, someone can complete one of them, and more than one player; but there is no one who can complete two of them.

one!All!No!

Not to mention three items.

Until this year, Gao Wen continued his upward momentum.

At the beginning of the year in Melbourne Park, Gao Wen lost two wins and defeated Djokovic in the final!
In May, Roland Garros and Gao Wen fought hard to eliminate Nadal in the quarter-finals in four sets!

In two consecutive Grand Slam tournaments, Gao Wen accomplished incredible feats and became No.1 for the first time in the golden age of tennis to complete such a challenge. He opened up new possibilities and wrote new history. It set off a frenzy and shocked again and again.

This is even more dazzling than reaching the top of the Grand Slam champion itself, and the difficulty is comparable to reaching the top of the Golden Slam in a natural year.

And then.

The time has come to the present.

After the Wimbledon draw was released, although Gawain and Federer were in the same half zone, Dimitrov and Murray stood in front of Gawain. The general view is not optimistic that Gawain can Joining Federer in the semi-finals, so the topic of discussion will be put on hold for the time being.

However!but!Actually!
That's how it happened.

Gao Wen took the lead to advance to the semi-finals with his head held high, waiting for the king of Switzerland; while Federer was only one victory away from the semi-finals, and the difficult Simon stood between Federer and Gao Wen. When it got interesting, all the blood rushed to the heart.

boom!
If, hypothetically, in case... Gao Wen can join forces with Federer and win the semi-finals again, it will definitely be comparable to the Big Bang——

A whole new world is born.

It's that simple.

The most influential theory in modern cosmology holds that the universe was formed by a dense and hot singularity that expanded after a big bang 137 billion years ago. Thousands of years of development have formed a new world.

Now, ATP is witnessing history, quietly waiting for a moment when a singularity explodes, maybe it will happen, maybe it won’t, but no matter what, the eyes of thousands of people are all focused, because they may be about to witness the change of an era and The birth of an era.

This is not just the birth of the fifth giant - regardless of the outcome of the next match, and regardless of whether Gao Wen can reach the top of Wimbledon, with Gao Wen entering the semi-finals for the fourth consecutive Grand Slam, in fact The fifth giant has already been born, which has become a fact.

It's a shuffle, a reorganization, a subversion, a... big bang.

The power structure of men's professional tennis will kick off a new prelude, because Gao Wen has done it, Gao Wen has completed an incredible feat, and naturally, other players will also be inspired, and the mentality and strength of the confrontation will undergo subtle changes. will be difficult to predict.

Perhaps, the relationship between the Big Four, the Challenger League, and the Youth Storm will all be completely changed.

"boom!"

A loud bang.

Of course, it is too early to discuss these things now, not to mention that Federer has not yet defeated Simon, let alone whether Gao Wen can beat Federer.

But the point is here, a possibility, a probability, and a potential change are enough.

When Gao Wen was waiting for Federer in the semi-finals, the situation had already formed. How could the reporters and netizens not be excited or excited?

If it wasn't for the fact that the match between Gao Wen and Murray was truly wonderful, and if it wasn't for the fact that Murray was the host, the topic of the press conference would have been overwhelmed by the potential historical moments of the semi-finals. In the end, it exploded with amazing energy.

Buzz, buzz...

You don't need to open social networks to see the faces and eyes at the press conference in front of you to feel the heat.

The whole world is surging with chaos, scorching hot and intense.

"Ha, I'd be absolutely lying if I said I didn't know anything."

"Actually, before the game against Andy, Pete told me about it, and he wanted me to be mentally prepared, because you definitely won't miss it."

Under heavy pressure and attention, Gao Wen is still Gao Wen, appearing calm and calm, once again showing a maturity and calmness that does not match his age.

"But I also have to be honest, I haven't thought about it for a while."

"The match against Andy was uncertain until the last minute. I had to focus on the match. I don't think thinking ahead about the next match would be the right path to victory; and after the match, you didn't give me The breathing room has already thrown the topic over."

"I need to think."

Originally, the reporters at the scene thought that Gao Wen was an excuse, and used such rhetoric to slow down the pace a little, and then controlled the rhythm of the conversation.

Unexpectedly, Gao Wen actually picked up the mineral water and took a sip, and then...with a thoughtful expression on his face, he actually started to think.

uh, this...
