The same lottery ceremony, year after year, day after day, has not changed at all. People seem to have long been accustomed to the step-by-step lottery process.

However, from the press conference site to the media center, thousands of reporters still gathered to pay attention to the draw ceremony in real time; not to mention the tens of millions of viewers who watched the live broadcast on social networks. A whole new level never before seen.

First, because of the separatism of the heroes.

Secondly, because Gao Wen appeared as the defending champion, for those new fans who followed Gao Wen and fell in love with tennis, this was the first time ever. Same.

When Gao Wen in a suit and leather shoes appeared in front of the live broadcast camera, interacting with the host, chatting and laughing with Serena Williams, and verbally confronting the reporters on the spot, the originally boring and routine drawing ceremony unexpectedly presented a talk show effect, which for the audience For me, this is definitely a new experience.

To be precise, the lottery has not yet entered the official stage, and the frenzy of discussions on the social network has already boiled over.

Only then did netizens realize—

It turned out that Gao Wen came to New York "specially" for this "talk show".

Some people even speculated that Gao Wen did not arrive in New York until the last moment and dropped the surprise bomb. Sex and discussion exploded, and it is indeed the US Open that is the best at public relations marketing among the four Grand Slams.

These speculations may be right or wrong, but there is no doubt that the frenzy of social networks has indeed detonated.

Just a lottery ceremony, because of the unimaginable enthusiasm created by many topics on and off the field, even media reporters and professionals were also excited, and their expectations for the last Grand Slam of the year reached an unprecedented height.

Yujia couldn't help looking at Zhan Jun and the others, showing a smile, "This topic is hot..."

An exclamation was not finished, but everyone understood it.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, the formalities and pleasantries finally came to an end, and then, the lottery ceremony began—

1\\/4 District, top seed Djokovic.

4\\/ District 4, No. 2 seed Gao Wen.

Before Gao Wen formally draws lots, these two seats have already been determined. The top two seeds will guard the upper and lower halves respectively, and they will only meet in the finals.

Next, it was the moment when Gao Wen came on the stage, the positions of the third seed Federer and the fourth seed Murray, but to be honest, the difference is not big, because Federer and Murray are both in good condition, no matter how the top four are arranged. The combinations are all worth looking forward to, but the gimmicks are slightly different.

The point is that Gao Wen's right hand will determine the direction of expectations for this year's US Open.

Gao Wen pulled out the first badge from the container of the US Open championship trophy, engraved with the names of the players, showed it to the camera, and finalized the draw

District 2\\/4, No. 4 seed Murray.

3\\/4 District, third seed Federer.

oh! oh oh oh...

The turmoil in the entire media center can be clearly felt, and the uncontrollable excitement surges up, the heartbeat suddenly starts to speed up, like a drum, and the thunderous sound of thunder spreads from the junction of the sea and the sky Come, can't help but start to feel emotional.

In the first half, Djokovic and Murray faced each other, and the two friends faced each other again.

In the second half, Gao Wen and Federer faced each other, and the Wimbledon semi-finals will be replayed in Flushing?

Strictly speaking, compared with another possible matchup—"Djokovic VS Federer" and "Gowin VS Murray", this kind of matchup is perfect, more interesting and more gimmick.

Whether Djokovic and Murray's one-sided battle record came to an end in Toronto, or the possibility of Gao Wen and Federer meeting in the semi-finals for the second consecutive Grand Slam, this is enough to make the media reporters collectively climax. The past topics that come and go are definitely worth a special book.

Moreover, once the teams meet successfully, no matter who makes it to the final, the potential confrontation situation will also be a brand new peak matchup.

It can be clearly felt in the media center that everyone exchanged glances and nodded in appreciation—

Like Gao Wen.

Zhan Jun also exchanged glances with Hu Litao, is Gao Wen's luck considered the Emperor of Europe?

Although the U.S. Open has always been dominated by heroes, not only in the last ten years, since the Open era, this field has always lacked absolute dominant players, unlike Djokovic at the Australian Open, Nadal at the French Open, Federer at Wimbledon has a clear-cut representative.

At the US Open, since the Open era, McEnroe won the three-peat from 1979 to 1981, Lendl won the three-peat from 1985 to 1987, that's all, so people are talking about "professional tennis". Ultimate Challenge", the US Open was not included in the discussion.

However, don’t forget that Federer won five consecutive championships from 2004 to 2008. This is also the only one in the long history. Maybe the dominance is not as good as Wimbledon, but Federer’s brilliance here is still beyond doubt , Fast and hard courts are still his back garden.

Now!

After facing the ultimate challenge head-on in the first three Grand Slams this year, when he came to New York, Gao Wen was about to face the hell-level challenge again—

The semi-finals against Federer.

Even if it is not the ultimate challenge, it is not far away. It is also a top-level challenge, a challenge of different forms and types but equally difficult~lightnovelpub.net~ Once it is possible, then Gao Wen will be able to do so in his short one-year career. As for the result of the game, it is another matter; what's more, Gao Wen just lost to Federer at Wimbledon, and this time he is in New York, but he doesn't know the result.

The expected value has already been ignited early.

So, this is not the Emperor of Europe, or what?

As a commentator, Zhan Jun needs to maintain his objective and neutral position. He rarely publicly expresses his special preference for a player or team, but the audience who is really familiar with Zhan Jun knows that he is a loyal fan of Federer. It's hard to hide my admiration for Federer.

Apart from Federer, Zhan Jun's feelings for Gao Wen are deeper and more complicated.

At this time, seeing Gao Wen's hand-drawn lottery, Zhan Jun's eyes began to surge with anticipation and joy, "I think this is a perfect match."

Hu Litao immediately understood what Zhan Jun meant, and laughed, "I agree."

To be precise, Hu Litao is also one of Federer's supporters, or it should be said that among the commentators, Federer's popularity is unique, which is unmatched by the other three giants; it is precisely because of this , this kind of counterpoint is more interesting.

Today's lottery ceremony got off to a good start.

However, audiences who are really familiar with tennis know:

The semi-finals are too far away. There are many possibilities on the way to the promotion.

Compared with the top four matchups, what is really worth noting is the top eight matchups and the top sixteen matchups.

Whether the European emperor or not depends on the luck of the two rounds of lottery, the answer will be revealed soon—
