"...no, I don't think he's like any other player on tour, he's just him, he's Gawain, with the way he plays and the intelligence he plays, the ability, the tactics and the will he shows in the game , and the inherent game temperament, which is unique.”
When the reporter asked Nadal, which of the Big Four was the most similar to Gao Wen, Nadal very firmly rejected the reporter's statement.
"Of course, I know that after Gao Wen won the Grand Slam championship, he became the focus of everyone's attention. You tried to find some of us in him, but as long as you watched Gao Wen's game, you would know that he It's Gawain, not another Roger or another me."
"His game is aggressive, but also strategic, and when needed, he is always able to find holes, and mobilize his best form to turn the situation around."
"Honestly speaking, I was a bit lucky to finally win today's game. I only won the last key point in the two games. If there is a slight deviation, the result may be that I lose the game in two games."
"Gowan put a lot of pressure on me in the game, which is the same as when Roger, Novak and Andy played against each other, so I was very excited to get the last point. Both of us have played to the extreme. , I'm glad the game didn't go to the final set, otherwise the result might have been different."
"I think Gao Wen has such ability and mentality. He is now a Grand Slam champion, and we should be able to see him frequently among the top ranks."
"I like him and his demeanor in the game, it's very special."
After the pre-match press conference, Nadal once again gave Gao Wen a super high evaluation, and the slightly different thing is that after the real face-to-face confrontation, the feeling is more profound, and Nadal's words are obviously enriched.
The reporters at the scene could also deeply feel the sincerity and sincerity in Nadal's words, which was definitely not a polite scene. This was a small accident.
As a result, some reporters immediately asked about the topic of "No. 1 in the world".
Because before the game, Nadal said that Gao Wen may become the world's number one in the future; after the game, Nadal reiterated his point of view.
"indeed."
"I still believe in this. It should be said that after this game, I am more convinced of this. In the future, we should often see Gao Wen. I believe that we will have many opportunities to fight in the future."
Praise!
At the post-match press conference, although Nadal won the final victory, Nadal made no secret of his admiration for Gawain, both inside and outside the words.
In fact, it can also be seen from the final score and the game process that the contest between the two sides is very, very close.
In both sets, Gao Wen had a brilliant performance in saving consecutive set points and match points, truly pushing Nadal to the extreme; in terms of the total score of the game, "77:75", in a literal sense, Nadal just got more Two points, this is a contest with a slight difference.
fierce battle! "Narrow victory VS regrettable loss".
Although Gao Wen lost the game, Gao Wen won the respect and affirmation.
The situation that Tobias was worried about did not happen. He was worried that after the US Open, Gao Wen had too many off-court activities, the whole training was not systematic, and his state and hand feeling had declined significantly. Becoming the focus of media attacks may even lead to adverse effects due to high expectations.
However, no.
This shows that a history-making Grand Slam championship trophy did not make Gao Wen complacent and stagnant, and he was still eager for more.
So what more can the media ask for?
At the post-match press conference, the media did not attack, which undoubtedly relieved the pressure on Gao Wen's homeland battle, but Sampras still had his own worries.
Along the way, Gao Wen's development has been too smooth and too rapid. It's not that there are no difficulties or challenges, but that every time he faces adversity, he can continue to erupt like a broken bamboo, without encountering bottlenecks or troughs, and then it's like this Soar-
Fifty-nine consecutive victories, this is the most direct evidence.
When facing the media, Gao Wen can chat and joke with reporters, whether the NCAA and Challenger wins count; but for the players, the most real and intuitive thing is:
I haven't lost a game for eight months.
As for the level of the competition, the nature of the event, and the weight of the championship, that is another matter. Victory is victory.
It is precisely because of this that, like Zverev Jr., it is very common to go to the challenge to find the feeling, confidence, and victory.
Victory will form a habit. That kind of determination and belief from the inside out can often enable players to perform at their highest level in extremely difficult situations, and then turn the tide. Only by truly accumulating enough confidence through victory can they Complete the metamorphosis.
So, when his first loss in eight months came, Sampras was conflicted.
On the one hand, he was thankful that he finally lost and the pressure of winning streak was finally relieved, and then he started from scratch.
On the other hand, he was worried about losing again, because it was a severe blow, and it was all back to zero.
In the professional tennis arena, how to face victory and defeat rationally is always a topic, and it will not stop throughout the entire career.
The psychological state of the players is also a link that cannot be ignored in the game.
Just look at Sampras himself. After winning his fourteenth Grand Slam title at the US Open, he slowly faded out and never played in any games again because he was afraid of failure because He didn't want to turn around and leave ~www.mtlnovel.com~ after his career was full of fluff, because he hoped that when he said goodbye, he could leave a decent mark.
To put it bluntly, it means saying goodbye at the most beautiful moment; but to put it bluntly, it means losing the confidence to continue to win and the courage to face failure.
Even Sampras, who has been playing professional tennis for more than ten years, is like this, let alone the fledgling Gao Wen?
So, after the press conference, Sampras went to the locker room, waiting for Gao Wen at the door, thinking about how to communicate and guide.
But waiting and waiting, Gawain never came out, so that Sampras was also a little worried. After thinking about it, Sampras still couldn't suppress his temper after all, and directly pushed the door and went in—
It is also his first time as a coach, and everything is new and unfamiliar. He has a lot of experience to pass on, but he doesn't know how to pass it on.
Sampras was also a little nervous.
However, there are some things that must be faced, and must be faced as soon as possible, calmly, before losing becomes a habit, before losing becomes a demon.
