Chapter 1251 The Era of Giants

ten years!

How many decades can a life have, Gao Wen has only one so far, the second has not been completed, and even Federer only has three decades.

The four giants joined forces to rule the professional tennis world for a full ten years, which is already shocking; and Gao Wen's ability to become the first person to break the shackles of ten years is even more impressive.

From such a perspective, the weight of history is no small matter.

A part of the media has a slightly different idea.

They believe that the past ten years should be called the "Era of Giants", mainly because the giants have shown top-level competition and raised professional tennis to a whole new level, not just the title of champions, but also their commitment to all four events. The ability to continuously control the top and top eight.

In the "giant era", Federer is the first giant, and Nadal is the second giant. These giants have remained strong from 2004 to the present.

After that, they faced many challenges and shocks, and maintained top performance time and time again. After the big waves washed away, Djokovic and Murray emerged one after another.

That is to say, in their point of view, "Big Four" is a concept, but the "Big Four" are not a whole. After all, Djokovic and Murray did not really mature until 2011 and 2012. Prior to this, they had played the tour for many years, but they were not considered giants.

The difference between the two viewpoints is that the "age of giants" will not stop at the Big Four, and there may be five giants, six giants, and even a heyday in which all the heroes compete for the throne.

Therefore, their news reports will not emphasize that Gao Wen broke the "ten-year dynasty" and that the rule of the "Big Four" could not last until 2004; at the same time, they saw that Gao Wen's perspective was slightly different. Did not disintegrate, but ushered in a new prosperous world—

Just like when Djokovic and Murray completed their transformation and became the third and fourth giants one after another, the so-called "big four" only have a short history of three years.

"From the four giants to the world's five best, the fifth giant has quietly returned to its place!"

"Next stop: Giants. The era of Gao Wen has just begun."

"No. 2 in the world, confirm! Next step, No. 5?"

"In the golden age of men's tennis, more peak matches are worth looking forward to."

"Gao Wen not only represents the future of tennis, but also represents the present of tennis."

"Big? Why not!"

"From a challenger to a giant, Gao Wen's future has just begun."

Overall, the shock and amazement are consistent, and the excitement of all the news media can be clearly detected, but the details are still slightly different.

Thinking about it seriously, both ideas are correct, and each has its own reasons. The difference lies in when will Gao Wen be able to win the recognition of the giants?

So far, Djokovic has seven Grand Slams, Murray has two Grand Slams, and Gao Wen has two Grand Slams. Even the Masters champion, Gao Wen is less than He reached the top three times in a row in a year, and the speed of collecting championships is not inferior to these two giants.

Perhaps, the only thing Gao Wen lacked was time, time to further prove that he could maintain his peak level for a long time.

The most intuitive is-

Monte Carlo.

In the eyes of those picky black fans and trolls, Gao Wen did not beat Federer, nor did he win the Monte Carlo championship. The world's No. 2 lacks convincing.

"Top five in the world for the most water."

"Boss, are you serious?"

"Please don't everyone talk about Gao Wen as the savior, he is not, he is not even comparable to Murray."

"I really don't know what those people are pretending to be. Gao Wen is really not convincing at all, okay?"

"I don't like Gawain at all. Period."

"Let me tell you a joke, the second best writer in the world."

"No. 2 in the world, Monte Carlo lost to Ferrer, hahahahahaha, it's so funny."

"There's something wrong with the ranking system, no matter how you look at it, Gao Wen is not worthy of being number two in the world."

swish swish.

twitter.

Voices of criticism and doubt abound.

But the reality is like this, the more popular people are, the more negative comments there are, which just proves that no one can ignore Gao Wen's current momentum——

Fans of the Big Four, audiences who can't stand the media bragging about Gao Wen, trolls purely black for black, blind people who ignore two Grand Slams and three Masters champions, uttered their voices sarcastically, their active Become another landscape.

However, these negative voices still cannot stop the overwhelming praise and amazement on social networks and real life, and the Chinese media has already begun to celebrate the new year.

"Ranking, set a new high, Shinco world second, Gao Wen!"

"Creating history! Gao Wen's footsteps still haven't stopped."

"Breaking the blockade of the Big Four, after the Australian Open, Gao Wen continued his strong performance."

"The miracle of writing came a little earlier than expected, and the Gaowen world ranking has reached a new high."

"History! History! History!"

Of course, there is the simplest and most intuitive headline:

"Second in the world."

Coupled with the photo of Gao Wen clenched his fist to celebrate the victory, this is enough.

The official media paid attention and reported it immediately, but the more lively ones were always the netizens. One of the short articles became a hot spot on the whole network:

"Evil in the east and poison in the west, the emperor in the south and the beggar in the north, with supernatural powers, so, who is Gao Wen?"

The whole network is hotly discussed.

The bustling discussions couldn't stop at all.

Objectively speaking, failure to usher in a historical moment by winning or winning a championship greatly affected the party atmosphere of the media and netizens.

Moreover, this is only the second in the world, and has not reached the top of the world. At most, it can only tie the historical record, and the impact effect is not as good as that of the Grand Slam champion.

Therefore, the follow-up waves are relatively limited. Compared with "No. 2 in the world", people are just looking forward to Gao Wen's follow-up performance, and they are full of expectations.

But there is no doubt that Gao Wen's global popularity can still be deeply felt in the heat wave, and his every move is the focus of attention.

In Monte Carlo, four old faces of the "post-80s" finally gathered in the semi-finals, and the pace of the new generation of storms in the new season seems to have finally hit a wall.

However!

For neutral fans and the general public, confrontation is exciting, suspense is good-looking, and the contention of a hundred schools of thought between the new and Mesozoic generations can give men's tennis more possibilities. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Here, Ferrer and Monfils both made it to the semi-finals, and ensured that one of them would make it to the finals, launching an impact towards the Masters championship. From Gao Wen's three consecutive Masters to last year's Monte Carlo The championship belongs to Wawrinka, and everything makes this year's final full of suspense.

On that side, even though he lost the game, Gao Wen still ranked second in the world. As the leader of the new generation, he continued his rising momentum.

All kinds, all kinds, all these mean that the Mesozoic and the new generation are rising in an all-round way, and the emergence of new blood stimulates other players to usher in explosions, thus forming a healthy competition, and the game will be more beautiful——

There will be more suspense.

Naturally, the melon-eating crowd became excited one by one, and expressed strong expectations for the clay court season. Monte Carlo undoubtedly made a good start.

It is precisely because of this that although the new generation of Gawain, Dimitrov, and Raonic all failed to advance to the semi-finals, and although Federer and Wawrinka, two players with box office appeal, were also eliminated early, the industry People are still very satisfied with the results.

There was even applause for a warm welcome.

So, what's next?
