Match Point

Chapter 1399: big or small

Perhaps, some fans who don’t understand the situation may wonder why Federer is so angry, isn’t he just a child, and Isein has already expressed an apology, and other players have not complained, but only Federer is complaining. Is this not to emphasize the privilege of big names or What?

Also, why is the media fanning the flames, looking like they are afraid that the world will not be chaotic? Is there nothing more worthy of attention in the French Open? Just because Federer listens to the wind, it is raining. This is definitely not encouraging Federer as a top player Privileged treatment?

Among the hustle and bustle, there were many criticisms and condemnations against Federer.

Here, a background of popular science is needed. The historical background of the security upgrade of tennis events is also an important background for changing the history of tennis:

Monica Seles.

I mentioned this genius girl once before. Compared with Seles, Gawain's birth is far from shocking.

In 1990, Seles defeated a generation of Queen Graf at Roland Garros to become the women's singles champion. At the age of 16 years and 6 months, he became the youngest French Open champion in history, and with this victory, he announced the change of the professional tennis world. , to start his long years of dominating the tennis world.

In 1991 and 1992, Seles won the Australian Open, the French Open and the US Open for two consecutive years; and in March 1991, he replaced Graf as the new world No. 1. He was only 17 years old, three months and nine days old. The youngest world No. 1 in history can be said to be the king of the world.

Before Seles was born, the women's professional tennis world was Graf's world. In 1988, he won the four Grand Slams and the Olympic singles championship in the same year. No one can replicate it until the distant future. Write Graf A stroke of Fu's brilliant career.

However, Seles' appearance like a comet overwhelmed Graf. Not only was he far ahead in terms of the number of major championships; Players have met seven times, and Seles leads with four wins and three losses—

From the perspective of winning and losing records, there is little difference, but Seles wins in quality. Of her four victories, three came from Grand Slam finals, two French Opens and one Australian Open.

There is no doubt that Celes completely suppressed Graf.

In April 1993, during a Seles game in Hamburg, an enthusiastic Graf fan entered the pitch and stabbed him in the back with a dagger, causing not only physical injuries but also On the psychological level, Seles' tenacity and tenacity were completely destroyed.

It wasn't until two years later that Seles returned to the court and won the Australian Open again in 1996, but that was all.

That year, this accident caused a sensation in the entire tennis world, triggering a chain reaction of mountains and tsunami, and also promoted a comprehensive reform of the security of professional tennis.

Before this, tennis matches did not have strict security facilities. The distance between the spectator stand and the court was just an advertising billboard, which was almost the same as a basketball arena. Let the audience integrate into the court as much as possible and experience the competitive sports at close range. pleasure and exhilaration.

After that, the entire security system of the tennis event was completely overturned, and the design of the stadium was modified as can be imagined. All the stadiums around the world have made changes; secondly, the event must be equipped with security personnel in all stadiums to watch the game all the way. Strictly protect the safety of the arena.

Of course, sports events are entertainment activities after all, and security work is inevitable. Some fans may break into the stadium to fight or protest, some fans may break into the stadium to show themselves, and some fans may break into the stadium to get close to their idols. Things do exist—

Therefore, the focus is not on prevention, but on timely response mechanisms.

When spectators break into the stadium, the on-site security personnel must respond quickly, partly to protect the players from injury, and partly to prevent the opponent from accidents.

Over the years, in the four Grand Slam arenas, there have actually been cases of spectators breaking into the stadium, and many players have experienced those chaos; but the security work of the event responded in a timely manner, and no accidents occurred again. Compared with sports, it is indeed much calmer.

Federer, who has been in professional tennis for more than ten years, has naturally experienced countless times. Similar situations have not happened once or twice, so there is no need to make a fuss—

What really angered Federer was the security work at the French Open.

The child fan tried to approach Federer twice. The first time, Federer turned his back to the child and didn't see it at all, but only noticed the change. The second time, the child successfully hugged Federer's thigh and asked for his autograph.

The problem is that from the beginning to the end, the security staff of the French Open were just for display, and no one stopped them during the whole process. This is a serious dereliction of duty.

At this time, thinking about the Seles incident, it is not surprising that the entire tennis world is focused on—

What if that wasn't a child?

What if it's the child this time and not the next time?

What if Federer's stress response accidentally injures that kid?

Especially when Isein took it lightly and accused Federer of making a fuss out of a molehill, people in the industry couldn't sit still.

Things, big or small—

In fact, there is absolutely no need to make such a fuss, as long as Isein admits that the security work is negligent, rectifies it, and gives everyone an explanation, everything will calm down; however, Isein didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at all. , his attitude pulled the trigger for the chaos.

Now, the discussion has spread out all over the world, from ATP to WTA, not only male players, but all participating players are fully covered.

It can be seen from a small detail that Federer's influence is indeed extraordinary. If other ordinary players protest, let alone arouse heated discussions, it may be difficult to even attract attention; but now, things are going strong Spread across the board.

No, Gao Wen's post-match press conference was also involved~lightnovelpub.net~ It wasn't that the reporters were asking for Gao Wen's support, but that the reporters were waiting for opinions from opinion leaders.

They need Gao Wen to stand in line.

However, Gao Wen couldn't avoid such a difficult and sensitive topic, so the time came to test Gao Wen's on-the-spot reaction ability.

To be honest, Gawain was a little surprised—

He really underestimated his own influence. He soaked in the training ground day and night and was insulated from the social network, so that he could not feel the frenzy of traffic, and his step-by-step daily life seemed calm. He did not expect that such an issue would actually Start asking for your own opinion.

The first reaction was to make fun of it.

However, Gao Wen still maintained his composure, and soon realized that this was a serious issue that could not be joked, and needed to be taken seriously.

This matter is difficult to say, it is indeed difficult; but when you think about it, it is actually not that difficult.
