Match point

Chapter 1812
boom!Boom boom boom!
Arthur Ashe Stadium has truly evolved into a party scene.

Typical New York, typical US Open, you can even see the audience cheering and celebrating with their beer glasses high, gulping down the boldness and carefreeness, presenting a completely different atmosphere from the other three Grand Slams, perhaps from tennis Gentleman culture does not match, but the moments in it——

And who can refuse?

Obviously, Gao Wen made a pun, thanking the audience, and at the same time connoted other away games. In an instant, the audience was boiling like this.

Courier was not surprised at all, this is one of Gawain's charms.

Next, Courier asked some official questions as usual.

For example, how is the injury recovery, such as whether the injury at such a close time to the US Open disrupts the preparation plan, such as how it feels to return to the Arthur Ashe Stadium after a year, and how to open the Grand Slam with the night game How does the journey feel.

and so on.

It's basically the same as the pre-match press conference—just a little more relaxed after the first-round win.

There will also be a large part of the overlap between the basic and later post-match press conferences - the most important difference lies in the interaction, the interaction between Gao Wen and Courier, Gao Wen and the audience, compared to questions, Arthur -The atmosphere at Ash Stadium is what counts.

In fact, it can be understood as a fan meeting.

After all, tonight's night game ended early, and the tickets for the night game were a bit more expensive than the day game, so it was really embarrassing to watch the game for less than three hours. A small benefit to give back to the enthusiastic support of the audience.

Especially considering the brilliance and magnificence of Gao Wen's debut tonight, the tournament organizing committee was also keenly aware of the intentions of Gao Wen's fans.

Naturally, Courier was also instructed to really visit Gawain with the defending champion and home court treatment, and the regret and anxiety of the fans quietly turned into joy and happiness. Even the cold wind at night was no longer a problem, and the whole The Arthur Ashe Stadium has evolved into the Ibiza party scene.

Then, Courier paused slightly, and still brought up the topic of focus.

"Man, let's talk about tonight's game, you know I have to ask."

"Sasha is a very talented player, but you seem to have a well-thought-out plan, stand on the pitch and know exactly how you should respond to various situations."

"Before the game, a lot of people were talking about this game. You end up losing a few games, just like football. It's a pity that the record you once held has been broken."

Courier is still different from reporters. The topic of "highest consumption" has to be mentioned, but he will not blatantly provoke dissension, fan the flames, and gloat. many.

Gao Wen was serious.

"Slightly regrettable."

……Really?

"In fact, I don't think the content of this game is as simple as the score. The confrontation and rounds of the game continued from the first point to the end."

"At the same time, I also think that this game is a very important start for me. The first round of a Grand Slam is not easy at any time, let alone this is my first game back on the court, and I still have a lot of opportunities. Against an opponent like Sasha, winning is a very important step."

"I think people need to relax a little bit with us."

"I'm about the same age as Sasha, and the same group of players is Borna, Andre, etc., they are all very talented and very focused on the field, I think I can play them, just need a little It takes time to adapt to the game, to discover yourself and finally usher in growth and transformation."

"The situation has changed slightly now."

"I have noticed that our group of players are paying more and more attention and everyone's expectations are getting higher and higher. I understand that we are in a golden era. Roger, Rafa, Novak, Andy, Stan, etc. Wait a minute, these great top players have been refreshing our understanding of tennis, and naturally, there are higher expectations for other players."

"Inevitably, expectations and pressures from the outside world and from ourselves are also stacked, and our understanding of tennis and our focus on the game have changed more or less."

"I need some time and so do they."

"So if you don't keep asking about the title defense and drawing all the firepower to it, that should help a little bit."

A light ridicule made the Arthur Ashe stadium happy again.

In fact, Gawain didn't mean to excuse Zverev Jr., of course, he wasn't interested in continuing the war of words, he just stated a fact——

Concern can be both pressure and motivation, especially for young people, who need some time to learn and room to grow.

Courier has already got the answer he wanted——

Gao Wen was not prepared to add insult to injury, and was still relieving the pressure on the young players.However, in a self-deprecating way, to relieve the pressure of defending the title, such a response is perfect.

So, Courier didn't continue to ask any more questions, and changed the subject.

But other reporters and social networks are unwilling to let it go easily. It would be a pity to miss such a good subject.

"The curse of 'highest consumption' has finally been broken, a maximum of two rounds to a maximum of three rounds, a qualitative leap!"

"Sure enough, young people are rising rapidly, and the gap is narrowing 'little by little'."

"Gawain is indeed a little regretful. He 'actually' lost three games this time!"

"It's hypocrisy, Gao Wen, who obviously doesn't like Sasha Zverev at all, yet still speaks well of him."

"Smoothing on the surface, but behind the scenes in the locker room, I probably don't talk. These young people are really interesting."

"No, no, no, Zverev is provoking Gawain from the beginning to the end, and Gawain's strength beats him in the face."

"For the generation born after 1995, Gao Wen is still the benchmark."

"I foresaw the victory, but I didn't expect the process, let alone the result. I didn't expect that the gap between Gao Wen and other 'post-95s' was so obvious."

"Such a score is really shocking."

"It's really not easy to hit a football score abruptly in tennis."

Chattering, bustling.

All kinds of jokes are flying all over the Internet. In the turbulent wave of public opinion, there are also a small number of black people who don't like Gao Wen speaking for the little Zverev, complaining about Gao Wen's hypocrisy, but there is no doubt that about Little Zverev's jokes are so numerous that they are almost broken.

Even the reporters did not spare Zverev Jr.

After all, it is really unreasonable to win only three games in a five-set best-of-three Grand Slam match. Compared with the expected value, the gap is too big.

Once out of the circle.

Netizens who have no interest in tennis or care about competitive sports have also joined the ranks. The "maximum consumption" concept cannot be overcome.

It is conceivable that for a long time to come, "maximum consumption" will still be a curse, a topic of conversation, and a topic of relish.
