Chapter 1344 Prove yourself
Boom!dong dong dong!
Drums are played.

With both Gawain and Tim winning the first round, this pair of friends on the tour will soon start their first career contest in the second round of Roland Garros.

It is worth looking forward to.

Different from the funny and humorous ones before, behind Gao Wen's light words at this time, he can deeply feel the high fighting spirit and eagerness to try. He is already ready to go all out. Good respect and respect, face the challenge with a professional attitude——

It can even be said that the two parties are looking forward to this contest more than the media and fans.

After all, for others, Tim is not even a seeded player now, and his world ranking is always outside the [-]s. He is not a player at the same level as Gao Wen. If it is not because of the youth storm, the topic of this duel is not at all. Not worth mentioning, nothing comparable.

Only the two players know that this meeting is of great significance.

At this time, Gao Wen's smile, eyes, words and expressions are the best proof.

Quietly, the atmosphere in the press conference hall changed again, and the swords and swords that had not had time to be fully publicized disappeared in a blink of an eye, and then the reporters could deeply feel the information conveyed by Gao Wen, and their eyes revealed Let's have some expectations:
Who knows?Maybe the next round of the matchup can really bring surprises?
Tim, who has been experiencing ups and downs recently, in order to better prepare for the French Open, gave up his plan to come to Paris to train and adapt to the venue. He still chose to go to Nice to participate in the competition a week before the opening of the tournament, and use the game as a substitute for training; in the end, it also proved the correctness of this choice. Because Tim reached the top and won the championship.

In the end, Tim arrived in Paris with the confidence and energy of a championship trophy, looking forward to a greater breakthrough in this year's French Open.

Interestingly, from Tiafoe to Tim, Gao Wen encountered the "Nice Contestant" for two consecutive rounds, which also means that both players have maintained a good competitive state. Unlucky?
The atmosphere of the press conference also became slightly excited.

The corners of Gao Wen's mouth lifted lightly, revealing a big smile. He still remembered the reporter's question, and there was another one behind——

About the challenges and impacts of the new generation.

"I know that when the world ranking reaches the top ten, it will naturally become the target of public criticism, not only expectations, but also more challenges."

"Maybe during our conversation, my back was full of arrows like a porcupine."

Chi Chi.

There was low laughter in the press conference hall.

"But for me, I'm still hungry, I'm still focused, I think I'm still new to the Tour, everything is new at Roland Garros, it's my first time, so I don't think own advantage."

"Whether it's against other top ten players in the world or against players who are as young as me, I still believe that I am a challenger."

"Like all young players, I am also inexperienced, I also need to continue to learn, and I also need to go all out to win. I will never think differently because of the age of the opponent, at least, this is what I have always been. I keep reminding myself to remind myself."

"So, I don't think the record against other young players can represent anything. We are all professional players and we are all fighting to win."

"I'm going to try to keep that mentality when I face Dominic next time, expecting me to play the best I have and then we'll see what happens in the end. Believe me, I need this mentality, Dominique is a formidable opponent."

Mentality.

This is Gao Wen's secret weapon in the face of the continuous impact of young players and his ability to win continuously——

Wise, calm, mature, objective.

Once again, Gao Wen showed his wisdom that does not match his age. Those words that were taken for granted, uttered from a 19-year-old young player, had a completely different impact and shock, so that the reporters on the scene looked at each other in dismay. A little confused:

is this normal?

It's not that the reporters underestimate or ignore those young players, from an objective point of view:

Gao Wen is indeed standing on top of the world, whether it is the world ranking or championship content, he is now the hottest existence in the entire professional tennis world.

However, those young players have nothing, they still need to prove themselves, and they are still waiting to prove themselves.

Regardless of whether the netizens admit it or not, watching Gao Wen's game now, Gao Wen has become the side that is expected to win, even on clay court. This is the case against Tiafoe, and the same is true against Tim——

Perhaps the news media will be paying close attention to this matchup between Gawain and Tim, but the general opinion is that Gawain should be able to easily beat Tim.

However, Gao Wen's attitude is not only humble and low-key, but also gives the highest priority, which seems contrary to harmony, doesn't it?
then--

"Gao Wen, what do you mean, you believe that you might lose the game?"

Some reporters at the scene did not hold back and raised questions, but the words were just out of the mouth, and the reporters realized that something was wrong:

This question obviously lacks respect for Tim and the game.

Subconsciously, they believed that Gao Wen's words were modest and polite, and they were white lies, so they questioned them in a rhetorical manner, full of ridicule and contempt, and were full of enthusiasm for Tim, Gao Wen, and the game itself. Disrespectful questioning, this is not a good question.

According to past experience, Gao Wen will never be soft-hearted, and it is almost foreseeable that there will be a thunderstorm next.

But, very, very unexpectedly, Gao Wen didn't.

Gao Wen only answered a phrase.

"of course."

Straightforward and straightforward, the reporter's voice just fell, Gao Wen didn't hesitate, and completed the response with the gesture of hitting the wall.

There was no scolding, no ridicule, and no complaints, but an upright response, which became the most powerful counterattack:

They need to respect Tim, they need to respect the game; more importantly, they need to realize that winning is not something that can be taken for granted, that if Gawain didn't give it his all, he could indeed lose the game, Tim completely With this ability, win.

Questions from reporters, in essence, are to underestimate Tim's strength.

However, Gao Wen did not defend his friend with a lengthy speech, but counterattacked with such a gesture.

hum...

The press conference hall was full of noise, because it was too unexpected and too tough, so that the reporters were a little stunned, and then, a sense of shame that made them feel ashamed just drowned them out, and no one was even able to look directly into Gao Wen's eyes——

Clear, frank, sincere, and straightforward, just like this, he faced all the chaos in the audience uprightly, not fighting back, but better than any form of fighting back.
