The latest website: "Before this game, the media and netizens called you the 'ultimate challenge mission must be achieved'. After defeating Djokovic in Melbourne Park and Roland Garros beating Nadal, you are expected to win at Wimbledon. Deng defeated Federer and completed the most difficult and extreme ultimate challenge of the ATP in the past ten years."

"Actually, you have also had a chance once, and you got a match point in the long-set tiebreaker."

"One point difference, you will complete this ultimate challenge, but unfortunately, the final game went to another ending."

"What I want to ask is, have you felt this pressure, and has it affected the direction of the game?"

Not surprisingly, what was supposed to come, still came.

Gao Wen didn't respond immediately, but showed a concentrated expression of listening attentively, and slightly raised his jaw, "Aha."

And then... there is no more.

Gao Wen seemed to be lost in thought, so that the press conference room also fell into a brief silence, but Gao Wen showed a surprised expression.

"Is that all there is?"

"Sorry, I thought there would be a rabbit in the hat next, I've been waiting for it."

Is this making fun of the reporter's question without a bright spot?

Gao Wen didn't wait for the reporter to react, and continued talking.

"Of course, we all know what has happened in the past ten years, Novak at Melbourne Park, Rafa at Roland Garros, Roger at this stadium, they have indeed written countless miracles. These venues take the game to a whole new level."

"But personally, the focus might be slightly different."

"My focus is on the players."

"It's true that Novak played well in Melbourne Park, but in Paris, in New York, in London, Novak is still not an easy opponent; everyone knows that Rafa is the ultimate challenge on clay, but if someone thinks that in other The field can easily beat Rafa, that's absolutely wrong."

"For me, at Wimbledon, against Gregor, against Andy, against Roger, the challenges and the pressure of these games are the same."

"I'm a novice. On the grass, I still have a lot to learn. Standing in front of them, the only thing I can do is to try my best to challenge."

"I'm also looking forward to defeating Roger at Wimbledon and qualifying for the final, to win the qualification to challenge Novak. Believe me, I'm very, very looking forward to 'writing another piece of history'..."

The self-deprecating tone and cheerful expression made the reporters laugh again.

"But I don't think that's the number one thing I need to think about."

"I'm cocky and arrogant, but not to that extent."

Ha ha!

There was another burst of laughter in the press conference room.

"I am looking forward to meeting Roger in a Grand Slam in the future and changing the situation. At that time, we will discuss what the ultimate challenge of 'Wimbledon beat Federer' means, what do you think? ?”

The reporters are still the same group of reporters; but in the same way, Gao Wen is still the same Gao Wen.

In the face of difficult problems, Gao Wen can always find different entry points and give a response that seems old-fashioned but can bring different feelings——

Currently, Gawain has the upper hand against Nadal, Djokovic, and Murray, with the exception of Federer:

One win and two losses.

Moreover, Federer defeated Gao Wen on the Grand Slam stage, giving Gao Wen the second defeat in the Grand Slam of his career.

All this is indeed very important.

Gao Wen didn't consider the illusory history with high ambitions, and focused on himself, his opponents, and the game in a down-to-earth manner, especially when he wrote the summary moment of the first year of his brilliant career, it became more and more commendable.

Perhaps, some people expressed disdain, "Isn't it just a little bit of humility", "Isn't this a basic quality"; but only those who have really experienced it and been in it can know that it is never the same to keep one's heart in the face of glory and glory. easy thing.

Especially Gao Wen is only nineteen years old.

at the same time-

"Gao Wen, what is your vision for the upcoming finals?"

Originally, I thought that this was another basic discussion question, and let Gao Wen predict the championship. After entering the quarterfinals, it was basically at the level of the official question; but I didn't expect that the question was not over yet, and there would be a turning point later.

"If Roger defeats Novak in the final, it means that the gap between you and Novak in the world rankings will be narrowed to 700 points. In the next hard-court season in North America, the world's No. Events with 100 points may also overturn the world rankings."

"Are you aware of that?"

Not only glory and success, but also an ultimate goal before Gao Wen's eyes——

World number one.

For any professional player, being No. 1 in the world is a lifetime goal. In the long history, only 25 players have ever reached this position, which is even rarer than the Grand Slam champion.

After all, what a Grand Slam champion needs is a strong performance within two weeks. From Wawrinka to Murray to Gawain, they have all done it; Excellent and stable performance during the time, so that we can reach the top from the siege of giants.

As of 2015, Murray among the Big Four has not been able to achieve such an achievement for the time being.

In fact, the three players Murray, Wawrinka and Gawain are very similar, two Grand Slam champions, ranked among the top five in the world for a long time, and have not reached the top of the world for the time being; currently Murray and the latter two The important reason for the distinction is that he has maintained a high level of state for a longer period of time, and the number of Masters championships is far ahead.

However!

Now, Gao Wen is one step ahead of Murray, and is expected to compete with Djokovic for the world's number one throne!

No wonder the reporters couldn't hold back their excitement anymore.

Under such circumstances, Gao Wen, who is only nineteen years old, can still maintain his rationality and calmness, which is really amazing.

A month ago, at the end of Roland Garros, with Gao Wen stopped in the semi-finals, the points gap between him and Djokovic exceeded 2,200 points, which also means that the battle for "world number one" is on the grass The season was temporarily suspended, and Gao Wen failed to seize the opportunity of the clay court season to overtake.

In other words, the results of Wimbledon cannot affect the world's No. 1 ranking. UU Reading www. uukanshu.com

Even in the most extreme situation, when Gao Wen wins the championship and Djokovic is eliminated in the first round, Gao Wen's points are still not enough to reach the top of the world.

Coincidentally, under the topic of "Big Four guarding the back garden", the enthusiasm for the world's number one battle has been put on hold for the time being.

did not think of!

Gao Wen actually made it all the way to the top four, and the whole situation suddenly changed again.

As the reporter said, if Federer beats Djokovic to win the championship in the final, then the points gap between Djokovic and Gawain will be shortened to within 7%, and the situation will be completely different.

In the next North American hard-court season, the US Open series will undoubtedly become an important event. Before the opening of the US Open, Gao Wen still has a good opportunity to increase his points for a full six weeks.

Who knows, maybe, there will be a surprise for the top seed at the US Open this year?
