Chapter 1139: Right time and place

Chapter 1140

Ho Ho Ho, the reporters didn't choose a position, didn't let things go, but one or two fanned the flames, watching the show and booking a front row seat.

"Youth Storm," literally a showdown, is turning into a real storm.

Social networking, as expected.

Rather than saying that Zverev Jr. has a large number of supporters, it is better to say that Gawain has a large number of opponents. Naturally, they grabbed Gawain.

but!

The voices supporting Gao Wen still had the absolute upper hand. From any point of view, netizens refused to believe that Gao Wen would make such a move.

Some fans even drew a "satire caricature", painting Zverev Jr. as a shivering little white rabbit, and Gawain as a big bad wolf with teeth and claws. In the comics, Gawain made Zverev Jr. Pushed to the corner, the shadow almost swallowed the little white rabbit, spitting profusely.

Then, there are two dialog boxes in the upper right corner.

One sentence is, "Yaaaaaaaa..."

One line is, "Do you think they'll believe you?"

With such a mocking method, he complained about the whole incident, but he didn't know whether he was teasing Gao Wen or Zverev Jr.

What is certain is that this cartoon is very popular on social networks, and the number of retweets exceeded 30,000 in a short period of time, which shows its popularity.

However, the off-court tidbits are buzzing, and the excitement is the excitement, but the supporters of Zverev Jr. have not grown much because—

To lose is to lose.

Apart from other distractions, Zverev Jr.'s performance on the court did not earn him respect and applause, and ordinary neutral fans did not have so much sympathy.

On the contrary, Gao Wen's performance of advancing and retreating properly without losing his sharpness has once again won the applause of the new generation, and his sharp-edged image has received numerous praises.

Brave but not arrogant, tough but not domineering, sharp but not glaring, from on-court performance to off-court coping, Gao Wen is indeed conquering more and more fans.

and!

Compared with "Gao Wen VS Jr. Zverev", the "Youth Storm" after the new generation has risen in an all-round way, this is what really deserves close attention—

Times make heroes!

The birth of a superstar also requires the right time, place and people.

Among the Big Four, Djokovic and Murray have never been able to reach the level of top superstars. After all, the global popularity is still suppressed by Federer and Nadal. The reasons are complicated and difficult to generalize in a few words, but one of them is " time".

The rise of Federer and the rise of Nadal happen to be at the juncture of a generational change, from shining stars to double dragons grabbing pearls, ushering in a new era.

Naturally, attracting countless attention, the so-called "Big Four Era", everything started from "Federer VS Nadal", the emotions are naturally different.

Now, another opportunity arises.

Starting from the competition of heroes in 2014, the men's professional tennis world fell into chaos again, so 2015 became the best time for heroes to debut.

At the Australian Open at the beginning of the year, Gao Wen seized the opportunity and defeated four local Australian players in a row, then defeated three giants in a row, and finally reached the top.

This also means that Gao Wen has seized the opportunity, and then in the North American season in the spring, he reached the top of Indian Wells to further consolidate his advantage.

And then, "the new generation of youth storm hits", opportunities, one after another, step by step for the camp to reach the peak—

After defeating Chulic, Rublev and Zverev Jr. and writing the hot topic of "highest consumption", Gao Wen has seized a commanding height.

but!

This is still not over.

This week's "Youth Storm" at the Miami Masters, there is another protagonist, not Raonic, nor Dimitrov, but Tim.

Another friend of Gawain, Tim.

Tim, who was also assigned to District 4/4, was in the same division as Gao Wen. After a period of downturn and adjustments, he finally recovered his form in Miami.

Defeated Schwarzman in the first round, Faye Lopez in the second round, and Sock in the third round, and broke into the top 16. Schwarzman and Sock are both "post-90s" players, just like Tim , has taken the lead since last season, is in a stage of rapid rise, and has become a member of a hundred schools of thought.

Tim defeated two peers in a row, interpreting the interpretation of the "post-90s youth storm". After the US Open last year, he once again broke into the public's field of vision.

Next, if Gao Wen and Tim can win another game, the two friends will compete for a semi-final seat, the ultimate version of "Youth Storm".

Perhaps, people are looking forward to seeing Gawain, Raonic, and Dimitrov meet a lot, but if there are new faces, it is also worth looking forward to—

Let a hundred flowers bloom, this is the true meaning of "Youth Storm"!

Fourth round!

Tim encountered the French player Manarino, who was born in 1988 and ranked No. 28. He has good strength on both hard and clay courts.

Tim fought hard to pass three sets, "7:6 (5, "4:6", and "7:5", each set was fought fiercely until the last critical moment, and the winner was determined.

In the end, Tim reserved a seat for the quarterfinals and waited for Gao Wen.

Gao Wen faced the 15th seed Kevin - Anderson, also, this is also a tough game.

Miami's venue and environment are very suitable for the South African Cannon, and Anderson has always played steadily, without obvious shortcomings and fluctuations, and needs to mobilize his best state. This is a powerful ball.

Gao Wen withstood the test.

"4:6", "6:3", "6:3".

After losing one set first, Gao Wen won two sets in a row, finally defeated Anderson, broke into the quarterfinals of the Miami Masters, and fulfilled the promise of youth.

then-

"Gao Wen VS Tim 1.0" is here.

Since they met for the first time at the US Open last year, the two players have always been potential stocks for the new generation of players, but it was long overdue to meet for the first time after going around for more than half a year.

In this short period of time, the two players have embarked on different career trajectories.

Tim experienced minor injuries and fulfilled his military service obligations. It was obviously not suitable for him to return to the game. After going through a period of trough, he finally regained his touch.

Who would have thought that when Tim and Gao Wen met again, Gao Wen would already be the third in the world?

This game is also a test for Tim—

Test your own state and strength ~lightnovelpub.net~ and prepare for the next clay court season that you are best at.

From a certain point of view, Tim and Rublev have some similarities. They obviously have a clay court background and are better at clay courts since they were teenagers. However, their careers are the first to usher in breakthroughs from hard courts.

However, the biggest difference between Tim and Rublev is that:

Tim is explosive and flexible, and his interpretation of the game and tactical changes are richer.

In addition, Tim's one-handed backhand is also outstanding among young players. Unlike Dimitrov's SLR, which looks like a six-pulse sword, Tim's SLR is an epee without a front. , And sharp, with heavy attack power.

This is also an important weapon for Tim to reach the Grand Slam final four times, twice the French Open, once the Australian Open and once the US Open.

Of course, the current Tim is still young and still immature. He has not yet entered the mature stage in terms of technology and psychology. He is a typical late blooming player.

However, it still cannot be underestimated. For Gao Wen, this is also a test—

Another "youth storm" again.
