Latest URL:

As the saying goes, in the world of competitive sports, there is no problem that cannot be solved by one victory. If one game fails, then two or three games are enough. As long as you can win, then all problems will no longer be problems.

In other words, failures and setbacks are the root of problems. Once failures begin, problems will arise without problems, and contradictions lurking under the water will gradually emerge. How to seek harmony in the downturn, adversity, and difficulties is the key to success. It is the key to becoming a true champion.

This is true for team sports such as football, basketball, rugby, etc. In fact, individual sports such as tennis, racing, running, and swimming are no exception.

Because there is a team behind every athlete outside the arena, excellent performance on the arena can never be separated from the close cooperation of the team.

Gao Wen's team has always been harmonious and united. From the hard court season to the clay court season and then to the grass court season, the coaching team changed roles and helped each other and the cooperation went smoothly. This also became the first time Gao Wen set foot on clay in his career And a perfectly adapted backing from the grass.

Entering the second year of your career, everything is different, with changes in pressure and injuries. So, can the team continue to maintain a good cooperative relationship? Can the differences of opinion between them find the right way to achieve unity?

And, the timing is really... terrible—

Fifteen days before the start of the US Open, he suffered a sudden injury, which completely disrupted the Grand Slam's participation plan and caught everyone by surprise.

It's indescribable how it feels to have a plan disrupted and overthrown.

Moreover, there is one more thing to note, which is not that important but has to be mentioned:

World No. 1 battle.

Originally, the U.S. Open series was the last few tournaments where Gao Wen did not have the pressure to keep his points. If Gao Wen could perform well and score a lot of points, he would be able to seize the opportunity in the battle for the world's number one. After entering the US Open, the pressure and situation will be completely different.

Throughout the second half of the year, the most noteworthy and anticipated focus of the ATP is the world No. 1 battle between Djokovic and Gao Wen. Not only the ATP official, but also the sponsors of the two players are quietly behind the scenes Adding to the flames, it can be seen from the attitude of Nike—

Since Wimbledon, Nike has been planning and preparing all the time. As long as Gao Wen can reach the top of the world, they will launch a new round of public relations activities.

This is different from the situation when Federer and Nadal reached the top of the world. Once Gao Wen can reach the top, it will be a new chapter in the era of the Big Four. replacement.

Nike, absolutely don't want to miss the opportunity, they are ready to create a superstar again and become the next champion.

How much more than Nike?

Other sponsors are also ready to move in their own way for a potential era change in the second half of the year.

In other words, Gao Wen's every move now is not only about himself, but also involves countless interests.

Once Gao Wen chooses to retire, even affecting the defending of the U.S. Open, it will be like dominoes, and it will have a series of far-reaching effects, and it may even become another turning point in Gao Wen's career, a turning point at the business level, and countless benefits Decisions are subject to change.

The main reason is that Gao Wen's foundation is too shallow, and his ability to resist risks and variables is too weak. The aftermath caused by a little disturbance may become more turbulent, and unimaginable eyes are all focused on Gao Wen.

Not only the reporters outside the hospital, but the frantic phone calls and emails bombarding Tobias at this moment were also raging like a hurricane.

If Gao Wen decides to retire, he will inevitably bear more pressure in the follow-up, and the pressure that has already been piled up will be pushed to a new peak.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, which is probably what it means.

So what should we do now?

In the VIP lounge, after Harris left, there was a brief silence.

It's not embarrassing, because they all need time to digest, and also need time to think and settle, to rearrange their thoughts and plans in their minds.

For a while, no one spoke, including Pelt.

On the contrary, Gao Wen seemed the calmest.

A full year ago, at that time, he was still a non-professional player in the NCAA, without Sampras or Agassi, only Martin part-time coaching, single-handedly holding a wild card to prepare for the US Open, that kind of It tastes like a kid entering McDonald's for the first time.

In short, he is ready to meet the world.

However, there were some twists and turns in the situation. The warm-up plan for the U.S. Open a week ago was completely overturned because of the cancellation of the wild card. In the end, he had no choice but to stay in school and continue training on his own.

Gao Wen also didn't want his first professional ATP event in his career to be a Grand Slam. It wasn't a plan, but it happened like this, so there was no need to complain or protest. He trained wholeheartedly, and then stepped onto the court and started hitting the ball. That's enough.

Now, it's the same.

According to the plan, Gao Wen prepared to warm up from Toronto to Cincinnati and then to New York, but an unexpected injury completely disrupted the plan.

so what?

Competitive sports are like this~lightnovelpub.net~ Accidents are everywhere, not all players can set foot on the World Cup finals at their peak and show their best condition, everything needs a little luck, precisely because In this way, people say that "luck" is also a part of strength.

"I'm mentally prepared to quit the semifinals."

Gawain spoke.

Everyone looked up at Gao Wen one after another, never expecting that it was Gao Wen who made the first decision.

Sampras was a little surprised, "Gao Wen, let's discuss the whole situation first, analyze the pros and cons, and then make a decision."

The corner of Gawain's mouth slightly raised, "Peter, it's your job to analyze the pros and cons, and it's mine to go on stage. How about you listen to my thoughts first?"

Everyone's eyes gathered, Tobias hesitated to speak, but in the end he swallowed his words under Gawain's gaze.

As Gao Wen said, the off-court analysis of profit and loss is not something he needs to worry about, nor is he good at. After all, he is just a player, and the only thing he needs to consider is his body and the game, so he can simply look at it. question.

Perhaps, Gao Wen's opinion can give them some direction.

After all, their silence is because the interest analysis in their minds is too turbulent and complicated, like a mess, difficult to sort out in a short while.

What's more, they can trust Gao Wen, right?

Pelt was a little surprised, but he made a sound instead, "I thought you were going to keep trying."

Based on their understanding of Gao Wen, refusing to give up, refusing to surrender and fighting to the end is Gao Wen's consistent belief. , which is not normal.

So, what's going on?
