Match point

Chapter 1138 In the locker room
"I respect the result of the game, but Gawain is a clown."

At the post-match press conference, the reporter just asked what happened to the post-match handshake, and Zverev Jr. couldn't wait to shoot directly.

Wow!

The reporters on the scene were eye-opening, and they were gearing up one by one. Compared with the difficult Gao Wen, they liked such an undisguised rectum.

"Shaking hands after the game, Gao Wen tried to humiliate me and asked me to try harder next time. I can't believe it. This is just a little respect for his young opponent."

"I respect today's game, I respect what he has achieved, but off the pitch, I can't see him as a champion."

with full force!

More importantly, this is not all, and the reporter didn't even need to ask, Zverev Jr. continued to talk like beans in a bamboo tube.

"Just now in the locker room, I obediently sat in my corner, summing up the game, but Gao Wen came to me, made a gangster hip-hop gesture towards me, and at the same time made a grimace, and made contemptuous booing sounds, 'YA...Yaaaaaaaaa...' swagger."

"I can not believe it!"

"I was just stunned, sitting in my place, shaking, I didn't know what was going on, I was terrified of what might happen next."

boom!
The entire press conference room was immediately fried——

Heavy!

Absolutely heavy!

Like football and basketball, the tennis locker room is also full of mystery. Although it is not a team sport, all players gather in a locker room. Players with different personalities, types, and edges collide together, and there are competitions The sparks of victory and defeat.

It is conceivable that there should be a lot of stories in the locker room, especially the intrigue between female players and off the court is absolutely wonderful.

But for a long time, there seems to be a tacit understanding among the players to avoid breaking the news about the locker room as much as possible, otherwise it will affect the whole body.

Today, Zverev Jr. finally broke the taboo. However, the first reaction in the minds of the reporters on the scene was——

really?
Little Zverev was talking about... Gawain?sure?
Here, a brief background needs to be stated.

It's not long or short, and it has been a year since Zverev Jr. turned into the professional arena. The reporters have dealt with him a lot, so they understand it.

There is no doubt about the talent and ability of this young genius. Everyone has seen it. Naturally, expectations have risen, but so far, Zverev Jr. has not seemed to be able to show the demeanor of a talented boy. The best performance in his hometown is the Hamburg 250. Final Four.

Every time Zverev Jr. lives up to expectations, he can often attract more media attention, not to mention that other new generations are also emerging.

Therefore, Zverev Jr. always has many reasons after losing:

Complain about the venue, the weather, the injuries, the referees, the luck, the spectators, the food...etc.

To put it simply, there are always "objective reasons" for losing, not his own "subjective reasons". The subtext is that if there are no such objective reasons, he can definitely win.

Such a performance, once or twice may be a coincidence, but three times, four times, five times countless times, like a child herding sheep, no one will buy it.

Obviously, Zverev Jr. is shirking responsibility and refusing to admit his failure. On the one hand, his heart is higher than the sky, and on the other hand, his life is thinner than paper.

Similar situations have been going on for more than a year, and the media has long been tired of watching them.

Now, come again?
Moreover, the target of Zverev's accusation is Gao Wen.

sure?
For more than half a year, Gao Wen has always been on the cusp, surrounded by the media's frantic bombardment, chasing and intercepting. Although the media hate Gao Wen every time they face him, they must also admit that this is not easy. , and Gao Wen's handling was not only mature but also wise.

When you should show your edge, don't hesitate; when you should be humble and low-key, be sincere.

In the face of victory, neither arrogance nor impetuosity, but full of confidence; in the face of failure, be calm, but maintain fighting spirit.

How about facing reporters?

From the Big Four to the Mesozoic generation such as Kei Nishikori and Wawrinka, to the new generation such as Raonic and Dimitrov, they are well-known.

Maybe, Gao Wen also has his own temper and edges and corners in private, this is [-]% sure, but the point is that Gao Wen always knows how to measure.

Just like today.

The reporters found faults, but they also admitted that Gao Wen's "little prank" during the handshake after the game was just right and had an entertaining effect.

but!

Such Gao Wen, like an eight-year-old boy in the locker room, made childish faces to show off his victory?

Little Zverev, is this serious?

Even if Gao Wen really played a prank, isn't this way too smart?It doesn't fit the personality.

hum...

After Zverev Jr. threw the heavy weight, all the reporters on the scene looked at each other, dumbfounded for a while, and didn't know what to say.

Looking at the scene in front of him, the little Zverev was a little anxious, why didn't they believe in themselves?

"I'm serious!"

"My mother can testify."

Reporters: Yes, I am sure your mother can corroborate your statement [-]%.

Then, finally a reporter raised his hand to ask a question, and found an entry point from this heavy news.

"Sasha, you mean, Gawain made faces at you to show off, and then you trembled with fear?"

Little Zverev: ... #@%&*! @#
The reporter's head was full of question marks, his brows were slightly frowned, and he asked another question.

"What I mean is that if Gao Wen threatened to use force, then you should report it and ask ATP to intervene in the investigation. Any violence is prohibited."

The reporter was sincere and gave Zverev a suggestion.

Little Zverev: ...

He took a deep breath, stuffed in his chest, his cheeks were flushed, but he couldn't speak. It looked as if it might explode at any time, but in the end it drooped down like a leaking balloon, and his excited face turned gray. What more.

What can he say?

Did Gao Wen tremble because of the threat of force?Or did Gao Wen just threaten with words, but he was trembling with fear?
Little Zverev looked at the reporter in front of him with aggrieved face.

"Me, why are you treating me like this? I don't know what I did wrong, I just want to play tennis well."

reporter:……

Has this guy in front of him started playing the victim again?And then pass the buck to the reporters?Is this a repeat of the same trick?
However, this trick does not work in front of reporters——

They are a bunch of sympathetic wolves.

Immediately afterwards, a reporter asked a question.

"Then let's talk about tennis. What do you think of your performance in today's game against Gao Wen?"

"You have never been able to find your form, and it was not until the end of the game that you became exciting, but in the end, Gao Wen still achieved the 'highest consumption' again. What do you think?"

Since you want to play tennis well, let's discuss tennis, this is asking for kindness, a little care from the reporters:

"Sasha, what do you think?"

Little Zverev: ...

Can he pretend to be dizzy?
