buzzing.

buzzing.

There was a hot wave in the air. The Atlanta Tennis Championship, which started in the same week as the start of the US Open series, should be the focus, but the bizarre story of the ups and downs of the Binghamton Challenge has become the darling of the news media.

Imagine that the top seed was pressed by a reporter to casually mention the name of an unknown person in an attempt to create a buzz, but the top seed casually said "not worth mentioning".

According to the normal development trajectory, the unknown is eliminated, and then the hot news disappears, and the reporters don't remember the kid who came in handy at all, as if nothing happened. This is a common phenomenon in reality.

However, this "not worth mentioning" was upset all the way, even defeated strong enemies and reached the finals. He was stunned to put the "theoretical possibility" final match on the stage, facing the top seed across the net, and won for himself The opportunity to directly talk to the top seed provides journalists with brand-new explosive materials.

This is really... a coincidence without a book?
Not to mention the netizens, even the reporters were all amazed, and began to dig out Gao Wen's information one after another——

I didn't think of it until now.

Without a world ranking and participating in a professional competition for the first time, these keywords cast a layer of mystery on Gao Wen, as if he had popped out of a crack in a rock; however, an in-depth investigation revealed that Gao Wen was actually the latest NCAA All-American Champion , although the NCAA's competitive strength is limited, Gao Wen is definitely not an unknown player.

Huh?
Now things get interesting.

A freshman, a national champion, the combination of these two keywords is equal to... A boy genius?
The difference is that Zverev Jr. is a genius who grew up in the vocational training system. He has invested heavily since he was a child and showed his talent early; Gao Wen is a genius who grew up in the high school to university education system. , Choose to train while reading.

But there is no doubt that one is 17 years old and the other is about to turn 19 years old. They are both freshmen who have just entered the professional tour at this time. They are in a period of rapid growth. Vividly interprets the classic mystery of youth storm.

The game is worth looking forward to.

As a result, the reporters became excited one by one—even if it was a challenge, as long as they were willing to work hard, they could also dig out hot spots worth discussing.

Look, isn't that what it is?
The reporters patted their chests and proudly boasted, "I dug up Gawain", as if they were Billy Martin.

On the day of the finals, a large number of reporters gathered in the bustling Stadium No. [-], and the interview area was already full!Although Zverev Jr. is indeed a new star worth looking forward to, such a battle still far exceeded the expectations of the organizing committee.

More importantly, the attendance rate of Stadium No. [-] has reached [-]%, and all [-] seats have been sold out!
The attendance of the Binghamton Challenge has always been stable at the box office, which is why the Challenge can be held for 20 years, but 100% attendance has not been seen for nearly a decade.

People thought that the audience came for the sake of Zverev, but the on-site sampling survey showed that if the opponent was not Gao Wen, the enthusiasm of the audience would not be so high. Sounds, the excitement of the game depends on both sides.

In the first round, Gawain's game against Kokkinakis was widely circulated in the small town of Binghamton and received a lot of praise; later, Gawain performed well in the game against Stakhovski, proving once again that His own strength has countless fans.

Although Gao Wen ruined the beautiful picture of the top two seeds meeting in the final, Gao Wen still won countless cheers with his hardcore performance on the court, and his status as an "unknown wild card player" added to the fairy tale The halo added mystery to the next duel.

Indeed, little Zverev is a highlight, and because the opponent is Gao Wen, the audience is even more looking forward to it.

Then, after many years, the No. 100 stadium of the Binghamton Challenge once again ushered in a [-]% attendance rate, and the audience was full of heat.

Gurgling.

Gurgling.

There were rustling sounds in the stadium, and the audience couldn't wait to prepare for the final match; there was also a bustling heat wave in the locker room, and the atmosphere of tension was quietly permeating.

Zverev Jr. is slender and slender. He is 198 centimeters taller than Gawain by half a palm, but his weight seems to be only about 85 kilograms, which is almost the same as Gawain now, compared to the peak in 2020 and 2021. During the period, it was even thinner. It should be that the teenagers have not fully opened up, and the muscles are obviously not tight enough.

But at this time, little Zverev could already feel the pride emanating from the inside out, and every pore of his body was written with the confidence of the proud son of heaven.

Obviously, the young Zverev didn't like Gawain, and he didn't intend to hide it. He showed a condescending attitude, and slightly lowered his head to glance at Gawain, as if the difference in height between the two was not five centimeters, but Fifty centimeters tall, with a look of disdain in his eyes.

However, in Gawain's eyes, little Zverev proudly displayed his feathers like a peacock spreading its tail. The problem was that he was not a peacock, so he didn't know how to appreciate it at all, so it was like enjoying a circus performance in a zoo. , with a look of encouragement in his eyes:

"Come on, Mengmeng!"

Little Zverev was slightly stung by Gawain's eyes, and seemed to be able to perceive the deep meaning in the eyes, the blue veins on his forehead protruded, and he hopped and hopped violently, but in the end he held back his anger and turned his head away. , ignored Gao Wen.

When the two players appeared on the field, the tense atmosphere spread, and the cheers and shouts of the audience made this tit-for-tat atmosphere spread even more, each of them was fanning the flames, wishing that the two players would just walk away. Going to the boxing ring usually starts hand-to-hand combat.

Naturally, the scorching and tense atmosphere continued to the duel on the court. From the first point, the two players showed high fighting spirit, and both sides tried to preemptively seize the opportunity in this youth storm , Immediately came a long multi-shot round of ball see-saw.

Even if it's not the boxing ring, it's not far off.

　First more.
