Chapter 1025 Sailing against the current

gloat!

Add insult to injury!

Attack it together!

All of a sudden, a mighty wave spread across the entire network, creating an illusion that "all the media are paying attention to Dubai and are bad-mouthing Gao Wen".

But is that really the case? Is it really necessary? Are you sure this isn't a surprise?

In fact, when you think about it carefully, it is not surprising, or even more accurately, it is completely expected.

Firstly, Gao Wen's rise was too fast and his foundation was too shallow—

It can even be said that there is no foundation at all, no fan base, no network base, no time base, nothing.

From the US Open to the Australian Open, Gao Wen, as a challenger, is impacting an era. Standing in front of the Big Four, his figure is really too small.

The one-sided support in Melbourne Park is a microcosm. Dubai is just a continuation of Melbourne. If Gao Wen can keep winning like Melbourne, then the opposition voices can only shut up, but as long as they lose, the negative voices will It devoured him with teeth and claws.

Especially when he lost to Federer, such momentum also reached a peak.

Secondly, Gao Wen's performance so far is so perfect that the expectation value has reached a new peak——

It was taken for granted that Gawain should have won "all" the games.

Of course, everyone knows that this is impossible, how can there be players who remain unbeaten throughout the year, but they still hope that Gao Wen can go further.

Once Gao Wen failed to do it, people would gloat, complain, attack and mock, "Look, you can't do it either."

Just like now.

All kinds of reasons collided together, so this situation appeared.

Maybe someone will say, "As for?" "Why bother?"

But the reality is happening, it is "the heights are too cold", and it is also "there are many people who are popular."

If Gao Wen wants to go further in his career, and even break the blockade of the Big Four, then this wave of madness will continue.

Competitive sports are like sailing against the current, if you do not advance, you will retreat.

The only thing Gao Wen can do is to ignore those voices, fight hard, fight hard, fight hard again, and fight back against those voices with victory after victory, champion after champion, until the world calms down again and people really begin to accept Gao Wen Wen as a member of the top of the pyramid.

However, the words are easy to say, but the actual operation is full of difficulties. The overwhelming pressure is overwhelming, and the whole world is paying attention to Gao Wen.

The spotlight, like a microscope, watched Gao Wen's every move, every move, even a failure, could become their weapon to continue attacking Gao Wen.

In the face of heavy pressure, can Gao Wen still stay focused and continue to win?

As the saying goes, "It is easy to start a business, but difficult to keep it." When climbing a peak, aim at a goal and move forward persistently; Ten times or even a hundred times increase.

Sampras has a clear understanding of this, because he has experienced it himself, and the ubiquitous and pervasive pressure is enough to suffocate.

It is precisely because of this that Sampras was aware of the pressure from the media immediately and was worried about Gao Wen's state, but Gao Wen's resistance to the pressure in the face of the crisis brought surprises again, and he recovered within a short period of time. fighting spirit.

Sampras was genuinely surprised and delighted.

Fortunately, Gao Wen was not crushed by the pressure.

Surprisingly, if Gao Wen keeps moving forward with a heavy load, the pressure will crush his shoulders sooner or later. Instead of keeping it in his heart, it is better to vent his negative emotions. Only in this way can he go into battle lightly.

Sampras also knows that in the next period of time, they may face more and more difficulties.

New challenges are coming.

Bustling and mighty, the focus of attention from all over the world, all gathered on the topic of "Gao Wen lost", even the topic of "Federer won" was overshadowed:

What people care about is not that Gawain lost to Federer, but Gawain's loss itself.

Even Federer was like this, and it was even more so in the other semi-final, where nothing happened, almost no waves were made, and he was submerged in the vast ocean of information in a blink of an eye.

In just half a year, Djokovic and Murray have met for the fifth time. These two old rivals can be said to be close friends and have a close relationship.

This time, the result of the game was no exception. Djokovic defeated Murray neatly in two straight sets and won five consecutive victories against Murray.

The last time Murray defeated Djokovic was at Wimbledon in 2013. Murray defeated Djokovic in straight sets and won the championship.

As a result, the final lineup in Dubai was officially released, "Djokovic VS Federer", the head-on encounter between the world's No. 1 and No. 2 in the world.

All attention!

Thanks to the collision between Djokovic and Federer, the news craze focusing on Gawain's loss finally calmed down a little.

However, the excitement of the final stage is still slightly lower than expected, which is a bit regrettable.

Djokovic still hasn't adjusted to his best form, while Federer showed high spirits and full firepower after his upset exit at the Australian Open.

"6:3", "7:5".

Federer, in straight sets, defeated his opponent lightly and became the champion. This is also his sixth time to rule the roost in Dubai.

After the final, looking back at the semi-final, people can understand how outstanding Gao Wen was when he faced Federer.

This time in Dubai, Federer was indeed in good form, without losing a set throughout the whole process, and easily reached the top, but the match against Gawain in the semi-finals was undoubtedly the most difficult—

Whether it is the score of the double tie-break, or the time spent in the game, or the needlepoint of the game process, the ultimate charm of tennis is displayed everywhere.

Professionals have said that the semi-final of "Federer VS Gawain" is not only the best in Dubai this year, but also the best of all events this week.

Federer's victory is gratifying, and Gawain's performance is also commendable.

To a large extent, it was also thanks to the powerful collision between Federer and Gao Wen in the semi-finals~lightnovelpub.net~ that forced Federer, who was in the strongest state, to win the final so easily.

In less than 24 hours, the professionals "cleared up their grievances" for Gao Wen and reiterated Gao Wen's excellence.

However, those picky, tricky, harsh and strict eyes still refused to compromise easily, refused to let Gao Wen go, they said bluntly:

Victory is victory, failure is failure, this is the full stop, there is nothing to discuss, Gao Wen must use victory to prove himself.

"The 'Sunshine Double Crown' is coming, it depends on everyone's performance."

The thing is that simple.

With the Dubai event coming to an end, this also means that the North American spring season will then enter, and the Sunshine Double Championship will soon debut.

Sampras also knows that the Sunshine Double Championship is the next stop, but fortunately, there is another good news. After returning to North America, Agassi will return to the team. The two of them will take care of Gao Wen together, and things will be much simpler ; Moreover, Tobias will also return, which is also a good thing.

First of all, the first stop, Indian Wells, the eyes of tennis fans all over the world, this time they are gathering towards North America, including ATP and WTA.
