"Match Point(
first. one time.
Gao Wen interacted with the audience as if he was performing a one-man talk show, easily detonating laughter in the Arthur Ashe Stadium.
For the local audience in New York, whose spirit of entertainment is deeply rooted in their bones, the game belongs to the game, but entertainment and entertainment are also very important. It is precisely because of this that they are always very tolerant of Kyrgios, who is not doing his job and has a playful smile, thinking that he is a man who understands "Entertaining the masses" player.
The only downside is that it doesn't measure up.
And now, Gao Wen appeared.
Not only was it entertaining, it all hit the spot, winning the cheers and whistles of the Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd with ease.
This is also a rare sight.
Tobias knew that the sponsors were all witnessing this scene, and they must have immediately realized the important market value of Gao Wen's superstar temperament just like he did back then.
On the court, after a brief joke, Gawain still answered McEnroe's question seriously.
"To be honest, I didn't think about anything at the time, or more precisely, I forced myself not to think about it."
"Because I know what an excellent and powerful opponent I am facing. That is Djokovic. The count and match point are meaningless until they are fulfilled. This is an ordinary point, because Nova K has the ability to turn things upside down, and it wouldn't be a surprise if he did."
"So the only thing I can do is focus on the point and pray, don't double-fault don't double-fault don't double-fault."
Seeing Gao Wen's index finger and **** interlaced in prayer-like chanting, the audience burst into laughter again, and the atmosphere was very relaxed and lively.
From the perspective of outsiders, this is definitely not the post-match reaction that a Grand Slam rookie or a Grand Slam dark horse can have—
Why do people like big names?
In the final analysis, it is because of familiarity. After years of precipitation, the audience always has a natural sense of closeness to familiar faces. It can be seen from the US Open ratings. The highest men’s match in the past ten years is Federer’s, and the highest The women's game is for Serena Williams.
To be more precise, in the past ten years, the five games with the highest ratings including rounds at the US Open were all played by Serena Williams.
It's that simple.
When a newcomer or a dark horse emerges, the audience often lacks interest because of the unfamiliarity.
But the post-match interview in front of me was completely different. A small part of the audience left, but two-thirds remained, which is really rare.
Moreover, the audience waited until McEnroe's interviews were all over, and waited for Gao Wen to leave the venue with great dignity, and then began to leave the venue one after another.
For media reporters, it is actually the same truth—
One thing to say, it's not good for the box office.
But there are no absolutes, and sometimes there may be exceptions, such as today.
The No. 1 press conference room is used by Djokovic. The world's No. 1 upset out due to emotion and reason still deserves the best treatment from the event organizers, but it is a little surprising that the No. 1 press conference room is slightly It was full, and three or five reporters could still be seen wandering outside the door.
However, the No. 2 press conference hall was immediately overcrowded. It was already full of reporters. Twenty or thirty reporters stretched their ears and listened.
People passing by without knowing why must take it for granted that the No. 2 press conference hall is Djokovic. Who would have thought that the young dark horse could receive such treatment?
But if you take a short listen, you can see why.
"...Of course it is impossible. Although daydreaming is one of my specialties, it is very important for professional players to accurately assess their own strength and status. I will obviously not put myself in the position of favorite to win the championship. I'm a little crazy, but not to that degree."
When the reporter asked Gao Wen whether he expected to break into the semi-finals of the Grand Slam, Gao Wen answered with such a witty self-joke, all the reporters burst into laughter, and then Gao Wen added.
"My goal was to win a game, and that was the only thing I thought about before I came to New York."
The reporter immediately asked again, "So you believe you can beat Isner?"
Gao Wen raised his hand to signal, "Yes, I was about to say, that was my thought before I saw the lottery, and after I saw the lottery, I started swearing."
Hahaha, I can't stop laughing at all.
Gawain spread his hands and said with a smile, "Of course, after the swearing, the training still has to continue. I still look forward to winning the next game. After all, every time I step on the court, I fight for victory. , obviously not for failure, otherwise it might involve match-fixing."
Hahaha, the last sentence was a stroke of genius. The entire press conference hall was bustling with excitement. Even the bustling journalists who filled the entire corridor were recording the scene with recording pens and tape recorders one by one.
This is not to say that Djokovic's press conference is not fun~www.mtlnovel.com~Djokovic's funny and humor are also very famous in the tour, but Djokovic's humor is more It is reflected in daily life, but when facing reporters at a press conference, he will still be a little more serious.
For example, when a reporter asked Djokovic how he commented on Gao Wen, a slightly tired Djokovic answered this way.
"Gao Wen was very focused during the game today. In fact, the stadium environment is the same for both sides, so there is no excuse for my loss. Simply put, he played even better. I would like to express my sincere congratulations to him. "
Sincere, sincere, but still able to feel Djokovic's fatigue, the double test of physical strength and energy made him not have much energy to make jokes.
It was precisely because of this that it was hard for reporters not to like Gao Wen.
Later, another reporter asked Djokovic what he thought of Gao Wen, and the dark horse journey of this young teenager was still not over.
"He is a very smart player, with an impactful forehand and a very stable backhand, very fast, and a very wide defensive coverage, but apart from his skills, the most important thing is that he can always accurately grasp the context of the game , and at the right time to improve his status to attack."
"On the offensive end, his performance is really impressive. Believe me, don't make simple judgments based on rankings, you should take a serious look at his game, he is a player worth watching, regardless of the finals. Roger is still Marin, I believe he will play his best level."
Quite well done, to be honest, Djokovic's press conference was a little more even.
In comparison, it doesn't seem so strange that Gao Wen, who is full of wit and humor, can get more favor and cheers from reporters.
