Does anyone still remember that a week ago, when the Wimbledon draw was released, in the 6/8 division where Gao Wen was located, everyone generally believed that the first three rounds were not a challenge for Gao Wen, and the real problem should start from the fourth round start-
The matchup in the top 16 was "Gao Wen VS Dimitrov".
Of course, people are not optimistic about Dimitrov's ability to break through three rounds in a row. The focus of general attention is that Gawain's old friend Pospisir advances to the matchup.
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed, and an unexpected but reasonable counterpoint appeared, and Dimitrov stood in front of Gawain.
Bustling, vigorous.
It was an accident, but in terms of topicality, this matchup was obviously much more exciting. When Gao Wen and Dimitrov both won and advanced, the reporters were all excited.
Press Conference Hall No. 1 and Press Conference Hall No. 3 focused on the same hot topics, and could even feel the heat of the air.
"No, of course not."
Dimitrov was not surprised at all, he was already mentally prepared, more precisely, he was waiting from the moment the draw came out.
"Obviously, Gao Wen is the more favored side. You don't need to lie to me. I can see the online public opinion survey. I know it is true."
"Ha ha."
"But that doesn't mean I'm surrendering."
"On the contrary, I will walk on the court, I will fight with all my strength, I will do my best to win, and use practical actions to win a ticket to the quarter-finals."
"This is a kind of respect and respect. It is precisely because Gao Wen is my friend that I need to be unreserved in this game."
"Actually, this is the All England Club. I think my experience should be able to bring some help. If I can choose a venue to face Gao Wen, this is the perfect choice."
Upright and upright, Dimitrov faced the reporter's questions calmly.
The reporter was a little embarrassed.
Just a few weeks ago, Dimitrov still looked depressed and depressed, as if a look or a word could easily hurt him.
Now Dimitrov has regained his confidence, and once again showed that vigorous and suave posture, the aura conveyed by his gestures is already different.
The reporter was a little frustrated but refused to give up, "So, have you met with Gao Wen? Have you discussed this matter? Will this game be particularly difficult? In the face of the next important game, will you avoid suspicion a little bit? "
"After the game, I was dragged here by you immediately, so I have no chance to meet Gao Wen for the time being."
"But I think things shouldn't have changed."
"We are all professional players, we all know what is going on, there is no need to deliberately avoid it, it will appear artificial."
"Of course, things must be a little different. Gao Wen and I probably won't practice together before the game. I don't think Gao Wen will mind, but I need to keep my advantage of experience."
"Ha ha."
After speaking, Dimitrov himself couldn't hold back and laughed heartily.
At the same time, Gao Wen is also facing the same problem
After a brief silence and astonishment, the reporters quickly recovered their status.
How could they forget the most conspicuous and important topic right in front of them?
"...To be honest, I don't mind. If Gregor is willing, then we can train together before the match. I don't worry about being spied on. After all, I don't have any secrets on the grass field."
On the same question, Gao Wen's jokes caused the scene to burst into chuckles.
Regarding Gao Wen, the level of difficulty is different, and the attitude of the reporters is naturally different. Of course, the situations and positions of the two players are also different, so the angle of entry is naturally somewhat different
The reporters are ready to win sympathy with the posture of mourning soldiers.
"Gao Wen, you and Gregor are friends. Obviously, he is in a very difficult and depressed valley."
"His world ranking has fallen out of the top ten, and winning three consecutive games seems to have become a challenge. The departure of a meritorious coach has also caused some controversy, and the chaos of his own team has also affected his training."
"The situation is still declining."
"Wimbledon is his last redemption. Last year's top four points are almost half of Gregor's current world ranking points. Once he loses these points, he is likely to fall all the way out of the top 20 or even the top 30."
As he spoke, the reporter could notice the subtle changes in Gao Wen's expression
Lifting his jaw slightly, he looked at the reporter intently, with a playful scrutiny in his eyes, like a cat playing with a mouse, a faint smile was hidden at the corner of his mouth, and he actually felt condescending.
A subtle strangeness surged in the air, as if something was wrong.
But the point is, Gao Wen didn't interrupt, but encouraged the reporter to continue with his eyes.
The reporter didn't know what to do, and the more he talked, the more he felt guilty, but he didn't turn back when he started work, and he could only bite the bullet and continue when he got stuck halfway.
"You, on the other hand, are looking forward to reaching the quarter-finals of Wimbledon for the first time in your career and becoming a member of the All England Club's special quarter-finals club."
"We can foresee that this game is very special and very difficult. How do you feel about this?"
The question was over, and it was Gao Wen's turn to answer, but Gao Wen didn't intend to speak at all, his face was still full of enthusiasm, and his eyes kept circling the reporter and his surroundings.
The calm eyes are creepy.
The air slowly tensed up.
The reporters fell silent again, and no one dared to speak easily to break the deadlock until Gao Wen spoke up himself.
"The theory of half a glass of water is very interesting. Everyone has different perspectives and positions on things."
"In your opinion, Gregor needs sympathy, needs help, needs help, but that's your point of view and obviously that's not what competitive sports players have in mind."
"I don't think Gregor needs sympathy, and I don't think Gregor needs my mercy."
"Don't forget, a week ago, there were a lot of doubts about my winning streak on grass; also ~www.mtlnovel.com~ no one realized that Gregor was also competitive."
"So, we came here."
"Such a matchup in the top 16, to be honest, you are all very surprised, right?"
"But I do not."
"I believe that Gregor has the talent and ability to beat any player, and I also believe that Gregor can prove himself again at the All England Club."
"So, you are wrong."
"I'm going to go out on the court, I'm going to give it my all, I'm going to be focused on winning because Grigor is also a champion, a fighter, he needs my 100 per cent focus, he deserves a decent game .
"If you ask me whether our friendship will be a variable in this game, the answer is yes, because I will be more focused and devoted. This is the respect from one friend to another, and it is also a professional. The respect a player has for another professional player."
"Two days from now, we don't know how the game will turn out, but I'm going to sit here and face it with no regrets."
"How, are you satisfied with this answer?"
