Match Point

Chapter 817: warm up

Chapter 818

Press Room No. 1.

Some people may be very surprised, some may not understand, some may be dumbfounded, some may sigh, and some may curse.

But Yujia believes that as long as they are really at the press conference, everyone can understand, not only understand, but also admire the foresight of the organizing committee:

This decision is so wise!

Thanks to the No. 1 press conference hall, otherwise the press conference would end, either the space would be overcrowded, or the reporters would come in standing and come out lying down.

The grand occasion at the scene is definitely beyond imagination.

Even the Chinese media couldn't find a chance to ask questions, because really! It's so lively! too crowded! It's like standing in the crater of an erupting volcano.

"How does it feel to participate in the Australian Open for the first time?"

"What was it like visiting Melbourne for the first time?"

"What is your impression of Melbourne? Do you plan to travel?"

…These are questions from local Australian media.

"Do you have any special feelings for the Australian Open?"

"How does it feel to play a Grand Slam for the first time at Pan Pacific?"

"Is it any different to go back to the Asia/Oceania region?"

"What's the difference between Melbourne and New York?"

"Do you feel the support from Asian fans in Melbourne?"

…These are questions from the Asian media.

"How does it feel to play a Grand Slam for the first time as a Grand Slam champion?"

"How are you preparing for the offseason?"

"Why did you choose Doha as the first stop of the season?"

"Is there any difference in the new season?"

"May I ask whether the technical action adjustment is the suggestion of Sampras or Agassi?"

"May I ask if I can still maintain the mental balance like the first time participating in the Grand Slam for the second time, or does it feel that the whole identity has changed?"

...These are questions from European and American media.

Of course, nothing is absolute.

Issues are intertwined and intertwined, and it is difficult to distinguish them. Different regions have slightly different focuses, but they also have something in common.

But what is certain is that the press conference is in a state of boiling all the time.

One after another, the questions were continuously thrown out, and there were no dead ends in all aspects. Not only the number of reporters, but also the number of questions was blown out.

From the moment Gao Wen appeared on the stage, the buzzing sound that filled the entire venue never stopped, and there was no end in sight.

It's hard to imagine, if it was in other press conference halls, how would these reporters get in; if they couldn't get in, would they be willing to let it go?

It is very likely that the reporters will continue to harass the Australian Open organizing committee, "We want to interview Gao Wen, but we can't get in."

At that time, it will be another lively scene.

The Australian Open plays a vital role in the Pan-Pacific region of Asia and Oceania. From commercial promotion to market penetration to global strategic layout and so on, the preciousness and grandeur of this sporting event cannot be ignored. replaced.

Every year, Asian players come to Melbourne to compete and always get more preferential treatment, second only to local players—

This is also the strategy of the Australian Open, which is deeply rooted in Asia and Oceania to promote and make full use of the advantages that the other three Grand Slams do not have.

For a long time, the US Open has been the most profitable event among the four Grand Slams, because the business system is the most mature and perfect, and the professional competitive sports industry is also at the forefront, which also makes them ahead of all competitors , far ahead.

The Australian Open, however, was in trouble for a time, because the characteristics were not obvious, because the market was relatively limited, and for various reasons, until the organizing committee reached a cooperation agreement with Victoria, where Melbourne is located, to launch a series of promotions, with Asia and Oceania as the foundation , found their own characteristics and paths.

In recent years, the Australian Open has finally returned to the ranks of fierce competition. From the ratings to the sponsors to the profit of the event, it has ushered in a blowout in all aspects.

The hot potato that was once considered to be thankless is now becoming a popular steamed bun, and other state capitals in Australia are starting to move:

Some pursue a win-win situation, imitating the model of the US Open series, and cooperating with Victoria to open the "Australian Open series", such as Sydney, Brisbane and Auckland.

Some have pulled out their teeth and started a head-on competition, hoping that the Australian Open can return to the previous model of the Open. At the beginning, this event was held in Sydney, New South Wales, Melbourne, Victoria, and Adelaide, South Australia. They're also trying to get a piece of the action.

From the side, you can witness the success of the Australian Open.

Among them, the layout and promotion of the entire Asian market is undoubtedly the most correct move for the Australian Open after the millennium, which also makes the style of the tournament gradually clear—

The only Grand Slam event in the Pan Pacific.

Naturally, as expected, Gao Wen's birth and his incomparable important position in the Australian Open were further highlighted. He was able to ignite everyone's enthusiasm without any effort, and his super popularity was close to that of the Big Four.

And, that's not all.

Among the bustling focus of attention, how can there be no jewel in the crown? The questions that were thrown to Agassi and Gao Hongli before were also thrown to Gao Wen now.

To be precise, more than half of the reporters at the scene, including the Huaxia reporters, all came here with this question in mind.

"Gao Wen, do you think you are the favorite to win the championship?"

"no."

hum...

When the reporter asked a question, it was obvious that the audience held their breath and focused their eyes, and the bustling heat wave was overwhelmingly gathering towards the same goal.

Everyone was looking forward to Gao Wen's response.

This is also what the reporters mentioned before, the difference between the Australian Open and the US Open.

Last August in New York, Gao Wen jumped out of the cracks in the rocks. No one knew him or liked him. If there was no attention, there would be no pressure.

But now in Melbourne, everything is different. As the core of the turmoil, Gao Wen's every move is put under the microscope.

Therefore, the whole story may evolve into another appearance. After all, the uncertainty of pressure ~lightnovelpub.net~ contains too many unknowns that cannot be predicted.

However!

Gao Wen's answer was too straightforward, concise, straightforward, and left no room for imagination, so that after the answer was over, the reporters didn't react for a while, and they still held their breath and kept moving. Like a room full of mummies.

hum...

The air, still surging, but—

Wait, that's all... that's it?

Can't!

The previous press conference was always full of excitement, one question after another, and then suddenly, the scene of the press conference hall fell into a short blank.

Looking at each other, I can feel the reporters' astonishment more and more—

what happened?

Even though the reporters expected that Gao Wen's answer would be no, they did not expect Gao Wen's answering method and tone, without any redundant explanation.

Is Gao Wen so decisive? So, what should they do?

Well…
