Chapter 303: full of vigor

Latest URL: "Hey, Dominique!"

Gao Wen raised his voice to call, Tim turned and looked over, and then saw Gao Wen motioning to the camera.

"This is the interview team of Huaxia TV. I think you should say hello to the Huaxia audience. I am telling them that you are a very kind friend and agreed to my sudden invitation to practice together today."

In 2021 in the future, Tim's world ranking will reach the third highest. He is known as the "Little Prince of Clay" because he has reached the final of the French Open for two consecutive years. Reached the top of the US Open and became the first player born in the 90s to win a Grand Slam title.

Undoubtedly, Tim is one of the leading figures in the new generation, and has become a bridge between the "big four born in the 1980s" and the "big three born in the 1995s".

But now, Tim is still a shy teenager who has just started his career. He doesn't even speak English fluently, and he has a distinct German accent.

Hearing Gao Wen's words, Tim showed a shy smile, waved his hands towards the camera lens, and said "It's my honor", and then he didn't know what to say, even in front of the camera lens. He looked a little awkward, as if he still didn't adapt to such an occasion.

It was hard to believe that Tim was two years older than Gawain.

Gao Wen turned his head to look at the camera again, and said with a smile, "He may be a little burdened to speak Chinese."

A clever little joke successfully made both Zhan Jun and Hu Litao laugh.

They now somewhat believe Gao Wen’s story. He seems to be a generous and confident young man, and it seems logical to bravely invite Tim to practice—even though Gao Wen is still a rookie on the tour.

"Xiao Gao, nice to meet you. Let me introduce myself first. I am Hu Litao, and this is Zhan Jun. We are here in New York to commentate on the US Open."

Before Hu Litao finished speaking, Gao Wen nodded with a smile.

"I know, of course I know. I have also watched a lot of game broadcasts. The commentary of the two can be described as thunderous. I didn't expect to be able to stand face to face today. But compared to the eyes, the hearing has already played a role first. Intimacy."

Hu Litao could feel Gao Wen's sophistication, and he even relaxed himself a little.

"I didn't expect to meet fans here."

"The first Australian Open match I watched was explained by Mr. Zhan Jun, and I was even impressed by Safin."

"Brother Jun, how do you feel? You came to the other side of the Pacific and met your fans?"

"I don't dare to take it, I want to ask you to practice on another day, but my bad game skills have been widely circulated among my peers, so I am too embarrassed to ask you."

During this back and forth, Zhan Jun also relaxed a little, and a small self-deprecation successfully made all three people laugh out loud.

Gao Wen said with a smile, "Mr. Zhan Jun, how do you know if you don't try it? You can only know the result after trying anything."

Zhan Jun looked at Gao Wen carefully, as if he was considering whether he should speak, and then he could catch the faint smile between Gao Wen's brows. He immediately took it back like a fox smelling something unusual, and waved his hands again and again. Said that he would not be fooled.

The three of them laughed together.

Immediately afterwards, Zhan Jun changed the topic and entered into the interview session. In fact, both he and Hu Litao are narrators and are not familiar with interviews. However, today’s interview is mainly to collect information, and a simple basic understanding is enough. The two A layman can barely make up for it.

"Please don't mind. When we saw the list of wild cards, we were all taken aback. Why did a completely unfamiliar name suddenly appear? What is going on? None of us expected such a situation, surprise It came so suddenly that everyone was confused."

After all, this is only the third time a Chinese men's tennis player has participated in a Grand Slam tournament.

Gao Wen also showed a smile and waved his hands again and again, "Don't worry, I don't mind", and then replied generously.

"To be honest, Mr. Zhan Jun should be merciful. You should have a lot of question marks."

"But really, for me too, it all happened so fast it didn't feel real."

From climbing to the top of the US Championship, to challenging the professional tour in the summer training camp, and overcoming obstacles all the way through three consecutive challenges, Gao Wen took to the arena with the idea of ​​challenging the limit, and continued to move forward step by step, so that he completely Forget how far you have come.

Bustling, fast-moving, and then the Grand Slam field has come in front of you.

"It wasn't until the two of you appeared in front of me and the camera team that the real feeling gradually became clear. Now I feel a little burning in my stomach."

Seeing Gao Wen's honest and humorous conversation, Zhan Jun and Hu Litao also felt the truth——

Let's not talk about Gao Wen's real ability and performance on the field, but at least it can be seen that he is not stage-frightened, and even in the face of China's top and most authoritative TV media, he still shows ease when interviewed. The posture, the vigor and vigor just rushed to the face.

This is precisely the trait that Asian players generally lack.

The last time Zhan Jun and Hu Litao saw an Asian player with such aura and attitude was Li Na; moreover, it was not the fledgling Li Na who was covered in spikes, but the Li Na who had become mature and calm after years of polishing but still kept sharp.

But the problem is that the boy in front of him is only eighteen years old.

Wait, is he really only eighteen years old?

The interview was still going on. Zhan Jun and Hu Litao took turns to ask questions. They got a preliminary understanding of Gao Wen's story from the National Championship all the way to Flushing, New York. Even the two well-informed commentators couldn't help but sigh——

No wonder.

No wonder they have never heard of the name "Gao Wen"~lightnovelpub.net~Because everything is indeed developing too fast, and the world has been turned upside down in just a few months, not to mention the Chinese media, even the ATP official website Never realized what the rise of this young rookie means.

After all, to put it bluntly, Gao Wen's best performance so far is the championship of the three Challenger Tournaments. To participate in the Grand Slam is the wild card of the National Champion. Compared with Goffin, the resume of past performance is too thin.

From the perspective of the field performance alone, it has indeed not reached the height of attention.

However, the greatest charm of competitive sports is that anything is possible!

Especially after meeting Gao Wen face-to-face, feeling the aura and energy that Gao Wen conveyed from the inside out, the anticipation value became uncontrollable again and ready to move.

Then, Zhan Jun asked curiously—even though he knew nothing about Gao Wen's real level.

"Do you have any goals for the upcoming Grand Slams?"
