Chapter 434 Crazy Idea
boom!
Boom boom boom!
From America to Oceania, from Asia to Europe, all the major news media went into a frenzy. More than [-] media reported the results of the "Asia Showdown" for the first time. An unimaginable upsurge, amazement and praise filled the eyes in a mighty way.

Deservedly as the hottest figure in this late summer.

Then, someone made statistics. Since the season this spring, so far, Gao Wen is continuing a strong momentum of 55 consecutive victories.

Objectively speaking, the winning streak of the NCAA regular season, the National Championships, and the Challenger League is really of no reference value to professional players. Players like Isner, Wawrinka, and Kei Nishikori, unless they come back from injury In the special circumstances, there is no need for them to go to those levels of competitions to record winning streaks.

Because this is like an adult going to kindergarten to play games. Losing is embarrassing and victorious. Even the ATP official will not count such records.

Moreover, there are more incredible winning streaks in professional tennis, such as Nadal's 81 consecutive victories on clay, Federer's 65 consecutive victories on grass, and 56 consecutive victories on hard courts, such as Djokovic's 43 consecutive victories across seasons and venues. , these records are worthy of being recorded in the annals of history.

But what is amazing about Gao Wen is that this young player jumped out of the cracks of the rock like the Monkey King. After intensive training during the winter break last year, he grew and transformed all the way, and then began to rise strongly from the NCAA regular season. Still undefeated.

55 straight wins!
Among them, including a Pacific Twelve School League champion, an American team champion and singles champion, three challenger champions, and five consecutive Grand Slam victories to reach the semi-finals, this is indeed... appalling, a series of Numbers and a series of victories are connected in series to evolve into the trajectory of Gao Wen's birth, which is displayed in front of the public.

Shocking, rushing forward!

The news was released by a Chinese media, and then became popular all the way to Europe and America. The North American local media gave further confirmation after investigation:
This is real!

Looking at the miracle created by Gao Wen at this moment, the matter seemed to have some reasonable explanations.

Then, the news from the "Los Angeles Times" attracted everyone's attention——

"Wild card fantasy miracle, is it about to repeat itself?"

What the hell is this talking about?

From three games ago, the major news media have been emphasizing that Gao Wen made history step by step in his first Grand Slam tournament.

The reason why a Grand Slam event is a Grand Slam is because of the different specifications and difficulty of the event. Even geniuses need some time to adapt, so it is indeed worthy of special mention to create such a result for the first time in the competition.

For the same reason, for qualifying players and wild card players, the Grand Slam is also a natural barrier that is difficult to reach.

As of 2014, no qualifier has won a Grand Slam title, and only a handful have made it to the semi-finals -- only four players in the Open era have done so, men and women. Two each.

Likewise, wild card players have struggled, but at least wild cards have worked wonders.

In 2001, Wimbledon, the veteran Goran-Ivanisevic (Goran-Ivanisevic) who returned from injury got a wild card issued by the main committee. In that competition, the world ranked 121 Ivanisevic served 227 ACE balls and finally reached the top of the championship, becoming the first wild card player ever to reach the top of the Grand Slam championship.

In 2009, Jim Clijsters, who retired for two years and chose to come back after being pregnant and having a child, applied for a wild card to participate in the US Open because he had no world ranking. As a result, Clijsters wrote the myth of Cinderella. Top, becoming the second unranked women's singles Grand Slam champion in history.

These are also the only two "wild card Grand Slam champions" so far. It can be seen from this that the qualifying players and wild card players still face many difficulties after all. The reason why history is history is because of the difficulties. , So, now, does Gao Wen have a chance to go black to the end?

First of all, Gao Wen became the first player in the Open era to break into the semi-finals in his first Grand Slam debut, regardless of gender.

Secondly, Gao Wen became the lowest-ranked male player in the Grand Slam semi-finals in the Open era, 193, breaking the record held by Ivanisevic at Wimbledon in 2001.

Once again, Gao Wen became the first wild card male player to reach the semi-finals of the Grand Slam in the Open era.

There is no need to add any keyword tags. The series of history created by Gao Wen is already amazing. With a wild card that comes with the National Championships, it has surprised everyone. All the media in the entire North American continent The bustling crowd exclaimed——

Although Gao Wen is an international student, it is undeniable that Gao Wen is a player from high school to college and from the NCAA all the way, reawakening people's attention to the NCAA, not only professional tennis is worth looking forward to, college tennis also urgently needs fans and sponsors' attention.

In particular, Gao Wen always wore the uniform of the Bruins to participate in the competition, and it was like a beautiful landscape across the sky of Flushing.

Naturally, from ESPN to the "New York Times", from social networks to top professional media, from TV programs to Internet hot topics, all-round discussion frenzy surged.

In a trance, the North American people seem to have forgotten the "black history" of Gao Wen's upset elimination of the United States Hope Isner in the first round, and they support Gao Wen wholeheartedly, looking forward to this "UCLA player" in this year's competition. US Open continues to create success.

There is no doubt that the North American media is crazy enough, but the headlines of the "Los Angeles Times" go one step further, bluntly proposing a possibility:
Gao Wen, is it possible to replicate the miracle of Ivanisevic and Clijsters?
However, the problem is that both Ivanisevic and Clijsters have been veterans in the professional arena for many years when they participated in the competition with wild cards, and Clijsters has already won a US championship. A top player in the net championship, while Gao Wen is just a rookie.

Reaching the semi-finals for the first time in a Grand Slam is incredible history, is there more to expect?The reason why Grand Slam champions are rare is because the process of winning the championship is full of difficulties. The two-week schedule and the severe tests of many masters make the long journey full of tests. It is really too unfriendly to newcomers, wild cards and qualifying players.

But the "Los Angeles Times" boldly raised this possibility:
Now that history has been made, why not continue?

At the same time, precisely because history continues to be created, why can't miracles be believed to continue?

More importantly, history, records, and miracles exist for belief, breakthrough, and writing, don't they?Why can't you believe it?
