Superstars need unparalleled performance on the field; top superstars are far from enough, they also need off-court personal charm and a little bit of magic—
Just like this time.
In the press conference hall, the inner three floors and the outer three floors were crowded with people, but the audience was silent, and all eyes were focused on one person.
Concentrate and listen.
"With this game, I don't think there's a turning point."
"Because Joe played very, very well, throughout, all the way to the final set, we both had an equal chance of winning."
"Joe pushed me to the extreme. Of course, I also tried to push Joe to the extreme. I think this should be my best game on clay this year."
"Believe me, if I can, I don't want to go through three hours of games in a row, and I want it to end as soon as possible, but Joe used his outstanding performance to tell me that whether we win or lose, we need to fight to the end. Relying on one's own hard work to win."
Hehe, low laughter rang out in the press conference hall.
Originally, the reporter wanted to ask Gao Wen how he felt about the two consecutive fierce battles, but unexpectedly, Gao Wen had already laughed at himself first.
"Today, the whole weather conditions and competition environment are a new challenge for me, and the facts have proved that I am still a professional rookie."
"I still don't know anything about tennis."
ha!
There was a burst of laughter.
"In the end, the game was able to end before it rained. I think I have a little bit of luck. I have a few balls. If I do it all over again, I can't hit it."
"Hush!"
"Please keep it secret, otherwise Andre and Pete will know, and I will go back to training again."
Seeing Gao Wen grinning and complaining, the audience roared with laughter again. Who could refuse such a Gao Wen?
A standard question with a hidden edge, but with a new vitality in Gao Wen's answer, it is no wonder that reporters always like to interview Gao Wen.
Immediately afterwards, another reporter asked a question, following Gao Wen's words.
"Gao Wen, you have Sampras and Agassi in your coaching team. What advice did they give you for this trip to Roland Garros?"
oh…
Gawain raised his jaw slightly, resonating with the question, and then said seriously, "They said, absolutely don't believe any of their suggestions."
One second, two seconds—
The audience burst into laughter, leaning forward and backward, accompanied by applause and whistles.
Everyone knows that Sampras and Agassi are not good at clay, it's no secret that their performances at Roland Garros were the worst of their careers; so, when they are coaches and give advice to Gawain , people will naturally be curious, what is the actual effect?
Judging from the results, Gao Wen has already broken into the quarter-finals in Roland Garros for the first time in his career, which has exceeded expectations.
But Gao Wen made fun of it again in a witty way, and the senior reporters present had to applaud——
This is ability, but also charm.
Immediately afterwards, Gao Wen put his index finger on his mouth again and made a "shh" gesture:
Keep it a secret.
The laughter at the scene couldn't stop at all, and even interrupted Gao Wen's follow-up words.
Gao Wen shrugged his shoulders, expressing his innocence, as if he didn't know what these reporters were laughing at.
After waiting for a while, Gao Wen continued to speak after the noise in the audience subsided a little bit.
"Their experience, their lessons, their feelings, their understanding of Roland-Garros, and even the regrets they encountered in their careers here are all inestimable treasures."
"In fact, Andre and Pete really helped me a lot during the clay court season, even more than the hard court."
"After all, I have been training on hard courts. In fact, many styles and ideas have been relatively finalized. They did not force their own habits on me, but did some guiding work; but on clay, everything is for me. Brand new, their experience becomes the greatest nutrient.”
"So Pete always said, I'm not sure what to do, but I can tell you with 100 percent certainty what not to do."
The press conference hall was filled with laughter again, and the atmosphere was very lively.
However.
Sampras: Ah Choo.
There was a sneeze, a pause, and then a second and a third.
Sampras rubbed his nose, eyes glazed over, "Wait, who is speaking ill of me behind my back?"
Before Sampras could think deeply, the muffled thunder outside the window made him turn his head and look out—
"It's raining!"
…finally.
The bustling press conference hall also heard the noise from outside, and the thunder was billowing, even if you were indoors, you could feel the turbulent air waves coming.
boom!
Outside the window, a flash of lightning exploded, and the whole world was like daytime. You could clearly see the water vapor exploding, and the mist billowed violently in the air; Then the room also darkened.
Immediately afterwards, the water vapor vented down like this, roaring and rolling.
Although I can't see the scene outside the window, I can deeply feel the world's shaking and shaking, as if a hole has been opened in the sky, and the rain is pouring down.
The overwhelming roar completely enveloped Roland-Garros, and the sky was dark. It was clearly less than five o'clock in the afternoon, but it was like midnight.
If there is an end of the world, it will probably look like this.
Heavy rain, finally happened.
actually…
From the fourth set between Gao Wen and Tsonga, the sky seemed to collapse at any moment, and the rain clouds could even be seen approaching rapidly.
Roland-Garros entered the state of "waiting for the wind to come". However, the rainstorm was delayed, waiting and waiting, but there was no rain—
According to the schedule, Gao Wen was Philippe Chatier's second game today. As a result, Federer and Monfils, who played the main axis in the fourth game, also made their debut smoothly, and were not interrupted or postponed due to the heavy rain.
In a blink of an eye, the match between Federer and Monfils has also reached the end of the first set.
"5:3".
Federer was about to get his serve win, and then...the rain was pouring.
On the one hand, people are lamenting, not to mention watching the duel, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com even failed to watch Federer's serve win in the first set. Waiting for the rain to stop, they don't know the status What's up.
On the other hand, people breathed a sigh of relief, and the heavy rain that had been waiting for but never appeared was like a sharp knife hanging around the neck, which always made people nervous, but now it finally happened, finally!

The backlog of accumulated rain, all poured down in one go, the whole world was shrouded in a piece of humid water vapor, the stadium was already flooded directly, even without going out, sitting indoors can feel the illusion that the earth is falling apart, just like The end is real.
Now it seems that the game should not be able to resume in a short time.

Gao Wen couldn't help sighing, expressing everyone's aspirations.
"The other boot, finally hit the ground."
