Chapter 671

Gao Wen could clearly feel Bob Bryan's enthusiasm, even a little too enthusiastic, so that he cast his gaze towards Mike Bryan.

However, they found that Mike also looked at Gao Wen with a face full of relief and admiration.

"…Thanks?"

Gao Wen felt a little strange. If it was to celebrate Gao Wen's defeat of Berdych to advance to the quarterfinals, then their expressions and demeanor were a bit too exaggerated.

Is it because I think too much?

After all, Brother Bryan is so enthusiastic, maybe he is still not very comfortable with the American way of expressing emotions?

"Come on! Keep going!"

"You are on the right path now, keep fighting! Brother, fight!"

"Oh yeah, fight!"

The Brian brothers roared back and forth, and the whole corridor was filled with their voices, making it very lively.

But soon, Gao Wen discovered that not only the Bryan brothers, everyone seemed a little strange along the way:

Whether it was the event staff and volunteers or the other doubles players who passed by, even Raonic who was about to enter the match waved his fists at Gao Wen from a distance and mouthed him to cheer him on.

Before he had time to say anything more, Raonic trotted forward with his equipment bag on his back, and disappeared at the end of the corridor in a blink of an eye.

Gao Wen:? ? ?

With question marks all over his head, Gao Wen saw Sampras and Pelt who were waiting at the entrance of the players' lounge. He walked forward quickly and shared what just happened with a smile.

“…What the **** is going on? It’s like after Flushing won the semifinals, everyone is happy for me, even passers-by are giving me high fives.”

Doubts are doubts, but happiness is still happiness.

At any time, victory is something worth celebrating, and the praise and encouragement from others can always fill his chest, and the smile on the corner of his mouth is lifted lightly, and his tone is a little cheerful.

Sampras looked at Gao Wen, who was brisk on his feet, and smiled, "Of course, this is also the Masters, after all, and the quarterfinals of the Masters are also worthy of celebration."

"What's more, Thomas performed very well today. It's a good thing that you can still withstand the pressure and win."

Praise is indeed praise, but the loss hidden behind the smile is hard to hide.

Gao Wen was very keen, and immediately noticed the strangeness of Sampras, especially after experiencing a series of unusual encouragement just now, the confusion in his mind further expanded.

This made Gawain stop, looked carefully at Sampras, and then turned his head to look at Pelt, trying to detect some clues from their expressions.

"Wait, something happened to John?"

Tobias was not present at this time.

Sampras was a little dumbfounded, with a sincere smile in his eyes, "No, John is fine, he went to watch Gregor's game."

Dimitrov's game against Murray should also start soon.

Gao Wen showed an expression of sudden realization, "Ah, yes, if something happened to John, they wouldn't encourage me. My thinking is a bit off."

Seeing Gao Wen frankly admitting his mistakes, Sampras shook his head lightly, "So, is this your first reaction? Worried about John?"

"If I didn't see you, I would worry about you too." Gao Wen said with an extremely serious expression.

Sampras' breath was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't spit it out or swallow it, his eyes were full of helplessness, "Gao Wen, you know that's not what I meant."

Gawain shrugged slightly, noncommittal.

Pelt never spoke. He observed Gawain's expression carefully, and then calmly interjected, "Peter, Gawain should have guessed it."

Sampras paused for a moment, looked at Gao Wen, and could clearly feel the tense shoulders tightening, "You know?"

Gao Wen twitched the corner of his mouth, and said as a matter of course, "It's not Goldbach's conjecture, Pete, we all know that there are only a few possibilities."

"Kei Nishikori won, right?"

The answer is already out—

Tournament organizers and fellow players expressed their encouragement to Gao Wen, which was actually more of a comfort and affirmation, because they knew that Kei Nishikori had won.

This also means that even if Gao Wen wins the Paris Masters, his championship points will not be able to enter the top eight, and he will miss the year-end finals.

On the front foot, Gawain defeated Berdych and won the victory with an unparalleled performance, continuing the hope.

On the back foot, the competitors are also victorious, taking the lead in the sprint duel that goes hand in hand.

Perhaps, this is not a journey from heaven to hell. After all, a victory is still a victory, and the quarter-finals of the Paris Masters is also a performance worthy of cheers and celebrations; miss:

"Failure" is not because he missed the opportunity. In fact, Gao Wen firmly grasped the opportunity, from the runner-up in Valencia to the quarter-finals in Paris-and may continue to move forward. In the case of little hope, Gao Wen Always grit your teeth, keep up with the large forces, and strive for a chance of survival.

However, the opponent's performance was even better, and he seized the opportunity steadily, so Gao Wen was "out".

In fact, objectively speaking, this is far from a "failure". After all, Gao Wen only played for half a season. To be precise, it is a logical result that he failed to catch the last train of the year-end finals.

However, after witnessing the Flushing myth, and witnessing Gao Wen step by step recovering his form and regaining his competitiveness at the end of the game, it ended in such a way that he was caught off guard, which is really embarrassing.

Then, everything that just happened can be reasonably explained.

Including the expressions of Sampras and Pelt who were hesitant to say anything at this time.

In Gao Wen's post-match press conference, a reporter mentioned Kei Nishikori's match.

But at that time, Kei Nishikori's match against Filipino Lopez was not over yet. The two sides drew in the first two sets, and the opening stage of the final set was still tied, making it difficult to distinguish the outcome.

Therefore, the reporters only tried a few words, and they gave up if they failed to open up the situation.

Until now ~lightnovelpub.net~ Contact context, answer, it's not that difficult:

The game should be over.

Pelt could feel Gawain's gaze, and although he didn't want to face it, he still nodded slightly.

"The final set, '6:4', Kei Nishikori won."

A simple sentence or a few words can complete the summary and state the facts.

However, the complex emotions hidden behind the words cannot be expressed clearly in a few words.

Gao Wen raised his chin lightly, showing a look of as expected, and a slightly regretful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Although it is sad, I still need to congratulate Kei Nishikori. This should be the first male player in Asia to be on the stage of the year-end finals."

Sampras froze.

Seeing Gao Wen speak out such a cruel and regrettable reality so calmly, Sampras was full of bitterness.

"Gao Wen, actually, it doesn't matter if you feel sad, disappointed, or even angry once in a while. There's no need to be so generous and tolerant all the time."
