Match point

Chapter 879
How should one describe Gawain's post-match press conference after beating Kyrgios?

Frank, generous; sincere, straightforward; sunny, positive; bold, resolute.

Not only did he not evade, but he was also not conservative. He responded bravely and positively, and even initiated provocations and counterattacks. The self-confidence exuded from the inside out was presented in a light and humorous way, making all attacks seem small and humble. worth mentioning.

So, what else can Australian fans do?
Cold!

Obviously, there are still countless local fans who hate Gao Wen, and with the defeat of Kyrgios, they once again climbed to a new peak.

However, Gao Wen's upright and aboveboard performance in the post-match press conference also conquered some local fans and won some support——

No matter what, Gao Wen beat his opponent to advance to the next round with a wonderful match, and spoke with strength, which deserves applause, isn't it?

If the fans continue to babble and refuse to give up, it will appear that they have small stomachs and can't afford to lose, even if they are so aggrieved that their liver hurts, they have to endure it.

In the end, they were so angry that they were on the verge of exploding, and the local fans could only turn their guns around, pointing at Tomic and Kyrgios and yelling at them.

Tomic is still fooling around and doing his own thing.

Facing the accusations from the fans, Tomic ignored them. Only two days after the loss, he had already started frequenting bars, drinking and partying.

In the bar, faced with face-to-face accusations from local fans, there was almost a conflict and a fight. In the end, Koginakis pulled Tomic away.

Kyrgios, on the other hand, is still so exclusive, arrogant and uninhibited.

This new-generation player went online in person, went off the field and fought with the fans, started scolding on the social network, and the continuous trash talk was eye-opening.

Moreover, scolding on the Internet is not enough. Kyrgios even continued to provoke fans in interviews, "You can do what you want, why don't you try it."

In this box, the local Australian singles players were all wiped out, but the vigorous drama is going on fiercely, and there is no sign of stopping for the time being.

It even drew reprimand from the legendary Australian tennis doubles star Todd-Woodbridge.

The doubles star, known as one of the greatest doubles players of all time, is not inferior even when discussed with the Bryan brothers.

After retiring, he has been committed to the training and training of the younger generation in Australia. Faced with such a situation, Woodbridge was outraged:
"You should prove yourself with your performance on the court, instead of talking like a street hooligan. If you have time to scold netizens, you might as well go back and practice a few serves."

Unexpectedly, Kyrgios replied recklessly, "Sorry, I don't need training, and my serve is good enough."

This time, he directly stabbed the hornet's nest.

The off-court drama is even more exciting than the event itself. Is this really good?

Quietly, it was the other protagonist of the incident, Gao Wen, who quietly disappeared. After lighting the fuse for a short time, he returned to the training ground, conscientiously preparing for the next game.

On that side, the Australian Open continued to advance in an orderly manner. The quarterfinals of the men's and women's singles were released one after another, and the number of players remaining in the draw decreased sharply——

This also means that the championship battle is gradually becoming clearer.

The upper half of the men's singles.

In the quarter-finals, Djokovic defeated Raonic with a perfect game and advanced to the quarter-finals; he is about to meet his old rival Berdych, who and another seed player Fai Lopez Joining forces smoothly, Berdych sent out a donut in the second set, and won the promotion in straight sets, showing a good competitive state.

In the 2/4 area, Wawrinka and Kei Nishikori, two high-ranking seed players, joined forces smoothly.Among them, Wawrinka's signing luck was good, all the seeded players in the small division were out of the game, and finally returned to the quarterfinals smoothly; Kei Nishikori defeated Ferrer in the round of [-] and won the third consecutive match against the latter win.

As expected before the game, the upper half is still dominated by familiar faces, lacking the blood of the new generation. In the end, the four big seeds made it to the quarterfinals.

Although there have been some fluctuations in the small seeds, the top eight seeds are still stable.

In the 3/4 zone, Govan defeated Kyrgios and Nadal defeated Anderson. "Govan VS Nadal 2.0" will be staged in Melbourne Park as scheduled.

When it comes out of the draw, this division is the most interesting, because all the young players gather in the 5/8 zone where Gao Wen is, which also means that they will fight for a player to challenge the team represented by Nadal. The hardcore veterans are starting a bayonet duel for a semi-final seat.

Now, everything is about to happen--

Before the start of the entire Australian Open, the situation of "Big Four VS Challengers" was first staged in the three-quarters zone. As for whether Djokovic and Wawrinka can repeat last year's duel, both players still need to go through another round. After a round of trials, naturally, all eyes gathered here.

In the 4/4 area, after Federer lost to Seppi in the third round, he finally achieved the rise of Karlovic and returned to the top eight of the Grand Slam after Wimbledon in 2009.In Doha at the beginning of the year, Karlovic defeated Djokovic in an upset, and this time, he will challenge another giant, Murray.

Murray, like Djokovic, encountered the impact of another new-generation player in the top [-], Dimitrov.Last year at Wimbledon, Dimitrov defeated Murray to reach the semi-finals; this year, Murray fought hard in four sets, successfully revenged, and entered the Australian Open quarter-finals for the seventh consecutive year.

Raonic, Dimitrov, and Kyrgios, three rookies born after 1990, all stopped in the top [-]. It is precisely because of this that it highlights the historical significance of Gao Wen's advancement to the top eight.

Looking at the second half, the only surprise came from Federer. Karlovic's breakthrough was achieved in the 8th/8th district, but other than that, the other three seats were all occupied by big seeds.

From such a perspective, this year's Australian Open lacks surprises.

After experiencing the turbulent waves of the US Open, the Australian Open seems to have returned to calm. In the final eight players, only Karlovic is an exception. The other seven players are all top eighth seeds. Some small winds in the first four rounds After all, Xiaolang failed to affect the overall situation.

So, what does this mean?
The "challengers" still lack a little energy after all, and the new generation headed by Raonic and Dimitrov still need more time to grow slowly.

But is that really the case?Is the rule of the Big Four still rock-solid?
At least, last year's two new Grand Slam champions are still in the draw. Both Wawrinka and Gawain will continue to prove themselves, so this topic is not completely over. The "challengers" have not given up and are still launching Powerful impact.

In other words, the hot topic that lasted from last year to this year will finally kick off again in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open.

Purely in terms of matchups, the matchup between Wawrinka and Kei Nishikori can make up for the regret of being interrupted by Gawain at the US Open last year, and see who can make a breakthrough, but the overall point of view is not as good as another match.

"Gowin VS Nadal"!
It's coming, it's finally here, fasten your seat belts!
