Back and forth, the atmosphere is brisk.
Tiafeau smiled brightly, showing his teeth like a model in a toothpaste advertisement, "I wish you good luck and hope you can continue to advance. In this way, it will not be so embarrassing for me to be out in the first round. I will proudly tell my friends , Hey, I lost to the last champion."
"how do you feel?"
Gao Wen pursed the corners of his mouth, showing a embarrassed expression on his face, "The pressure is too great, I can't bear it."
Tiafo immediately burst into laughter, "Haha, hahaha", the hearty laughter hit Gawain's eardrums, deafening, "Brother, you can do it, I believe you can."
Then, his expression turned slightly, showing seriousness, and he said with sincerity, "I really believe this. After all, you just defeated the world No. 1 in the next ten years. You should have more confidence in yourself."
Gao Wen raised his eyebrows lightly, "So, the world number one in the next ten years will be best at clay?"
Tiafoe: …
Rarely, Tiafoe did not have the embarrassing expression just now at all, the smile froze at the corner of his mouth, he opened his mouth, but he was unable to speak.
"Haha." This time, it was Gao Wen's turn to laugh out loud, leaning forward and backward, overwhelmed with joy.
There is no need for words or explanations, and the audience can deeply feel the cheerful atmosphere on the court, and the entertainment effect continues to the end.
It seems that the two players against today should be friends in private—
It's an interesting thing.
Normally, judging from social networks, all the "post-90s" and "post-95s" new generations seem to be targeting Gao Wen, gearing up to defeat Gao Wen.
In reality, it can be felt in the tour that Gao Wen has friends all over the world, and there are many new-generation players, and the private friendship is really good.
So, what is the truth?
This question was also mentioned in the post-match press conference. Obviously, the reporters were curious:
Did Gawain and Tiafoe have friendship in the past?
"...Ha, no, Daifuku and I only met in Paris."
Gao Wen gave a surprising answer, and then changed the topic.
"But who can refuse Daifuku?"
"He's like a mascot, he's easily loved in the players' cafeteria and, of course, in the training ground, he's in demand."
"Honestly, when the draw came out, I was a little worried. Obviously, he was the one that the audience and the players liked more. This put me in a disadvantageous position, but when I really thought about it, well, this scene I am afraid of. Familiar, it seems that this is not the first time, so I accepted it calmly."
…Hahaha!
Hilarious -
As soon as I heard it, I knew that Gao Wen was connoting Melbourne.
This year's Australian Open, Gao Wen was indeed standing on the opposite side of the world, relying on his own strength to fight against the entire home court. The "seven-point chaos" is still the most shocking moment of this year's season, and has been selected as the most shocking moment by countless professional tennis media. Most humiliating and worst moment of the season so far.
Gawain teased Tiafoe in such a way.
Seriously recalling Tiafoe's performance in the game, the reporters couldn't help but nodded in agreement:
It seems that ATP has appeared a mascot to entertain the public again, but I don't know what height Tiafoe can reach in the future and whether it is worth paying attention to.
Subsequently, the media asked some questions related to the game:
This is not only the first time that Gao Wen stepped on the Roland-Garros stage in his career; the rounds between Gao Wen and Tiafoe at the end of the game were indeed very entertaining, and the confrontation between you and me also showed a lot of sparks. Wen still stood firm, overcame the difficulties, and successfully ended the battle in three sets.
And then-
"Gao Wen, five minutes ago, a match on Court No. 7 was over, and your opponent for the next round has officially been announced."
"Dominic Thiem beat Aljaz-Bedene in four sets to advance to the second round, which means you're going to play your friend Dominic, who's been doing really well in the last two weeks. Competitive state, how do you feel about this?"
"In addition, so far, you are still undefeated against players born after 1990. Obviously, Dominic will be another challenge. What is your vision for this game? Will you make any special preparations? ?”
"Against young players, do you have any thoughts?"
finally!
From the moment the draw came out, the potential second-round matchup between Gao Wen and Tim attracted much attention.
Because the two are good friends, and because both are representatives of the new generation, both rose to prominence at the US Open last year. Although the follow-up development curves are different, it does not affect people's comparison of the two players together—
Especially when Raonic is absent due to injury, Dimitrov has a sluggish season, and Gao Wen just defeated another young "post-95" in the first round, this long-awaited duel will win more attention.
After regretting missing the opportunity to meet in the second round in Monte Carlo, Thiem finally seized the opportunity.
Finally, it's about to be staged!
"ha!"
Gao Wen showed a smile, and laughed out loud, his eyes were full of smiles.
"Sorry, reporter, could I trouble you to correct your wording and tone, please?"
"You say it like I'm a ten-year veteran of the tour, with a young player on the left and a young player on the right, and I'm a young player, too, okay? The last time I checked my date of birth, I remembered that I should You are still young, do we have some misunderstanding?"
boom-
The audience roared with laughter.
really!
As Gao Wen said, people almost forget that he is also a "post-95", younger than Raonic, Dimitrov and Tim.
Originally, Gao Wen was also supposed to be a younger generation who challenged other players, but now he is repeatedly placed in a higher position. The whole context is a bit funny.
As a result, the reporter who asked the question replied, "Maybe, Gao Wen, we need to confirm your birth certificate. Are you sure you were not born after 2000?"
The reporter did the opposite, not only did not make fun of Gao Wen's "oldness", but also continued to complain about Gao Wen's "young"—
Asians do generally look young, with a baby face on average. Even if they are 30 years old, they are still suspected of being underage when they enter a bar in the United States.
This unconventional response once again made the press conference burst into laughter.
Such a scene is really rare. Even though Gao Wen was under tremendous pressure when he came to Roland-Garros this time, and most of it came from the media~www.mtlnovel.com~, it can still be seen that Gao Wen is slowly Conquering media reporters, compared with the Australian Open, the situation has changed a little.
However, Gawain shrugged his shoulders unhurriedly, "Don't worry, I was not born in Hawaii."
A student named "Guan Hai" who was born in Hawaii was repeatedly questioned because of his birth certificate during the 2008 election campaign. This is obviously a well-known stalk all over the world.
But I didn't expect Gao Wen to respond in such a way. The press conference hall paused for a second, stunned for a moment, and then—
Ha ha!
Laughing like thunder, you can even hear applause and whistles, the press conference is really lively, even the players and staff passing by in the corridor can't help but stop and stare at the noise in front of them:
is this normal?
