Chapter 881 The Air Is Quiet

Ha ha.

hehe.

Oh oh oh.

Amidst the brisk laughter, a calm and calm voice broke the joy in the studio.

"Sorry, I don't think so."

All eyes were projected in the direction of the source of the sound, and the smile froze slightly, but no one interrupted rashly, and the host didn't dare, just asked along the way.

"Oh? Chris, what do you think?"

Keep smiling, and do your best to hide the stiffness in the corners of your mouth.

Chris-Evert could see the corners of the host's mouth stiffen, but she didn't care because her job was to have an opinion.

Evert kept a small smile on his lips.

"Please don't get me wrong, I have 100% respect for Rafa, and I really hope to see him continue to win. If there is such a match in the semi-finals as you mentioned, believe me, I will welcome with both hands and feet, looking forward to it." Rafa and Andy can give a good game."

"However, I must admit that when the draw comes out, what I would like to see is Novak against Stan, Gawain against Andy or Roger."

"Of course, if Gregor, Milos or Nick, or other young players come forward, it is also worth celebrating and welcome."

"The injection of young blood, for a sport, represents hope and future, and also represents competition. It is precisely because of the impact of young players that these players who have worked hard in the tour for many years can continue to motivate themselves to improve. Like Roger and Rafa, these giants."

"It's a virtuous cycle."

"So, last year, Stan and Gao Wen were able to win the Grand Slam and the Masters, which is really good, and this year in Melbourne, I am also looking forward to it."

To put it simply, Evert, like tennis fans around the world, is looking forward to the continuation of the "Big Four VS Challengers" situation and continuing to bring excitement.

Perhaps, several other Australians present also thought so, but after Gao Wen defeated Kyrgios to advance to the quarterfinals, they changed their minds.

However, Evert still insisted on his own ideas.

"For the upcoming quarter-finals, I don't think Gawain has no chance."

"Of course, Rafa has reached the final in Melbourne two years in a row, his experience and ability are unquestionable, after breaking into the second week of the tournament, he is a dangerous opponent, very, very dangerous, for anyone That’s the case, he’s definitely the more favored side.”

"However, judging from this year's competitive status, I am full of expectations for Gao Wen's prospects."

Evert, considered by countless people, is one of the greatest players in the history of women's tennis and one of the most powerful contenders for GOAT.

After the WTA introduced the world ranking system, Evert was the first ever world number one, and in the twelve years from 1974 to 1986, her world ranking was either first or second, not only strong but also stable .

The queen, who is affectionately called "Ice Princess" by fans, is derived from her calm and calm performance on the field, no matter what the situation is, she can't overwhelm her.

In 1971, Evert, who was only 16 years old, saved six match points and won the game in the second round of the US Open. The story of "Ice Princess", and later wrote a series of incredible records in the arena.

During the entire thirteen years from 1974 to 1986, Evert won at least one Grand Slam singles title every year, and finally fixed his number of Grand Slam singles titles at an astonishing eighteen. There are sixteen runner-up trophies.

Evert's career wins have reached 1309 wins, and 107 wins in a single season is also very impressive. The wins in his entire career have reached 90%. Until now, he is still the highest among all professional players. Includes men and women.

Among them, Evert's most dominant venue is clay.

The seven French Open champions were considered unattainable heights for a long time until a Mallorca teenager named Nadal was born, but even Nadal needs to look up to Evert.

From August 1973 to May 1979, Evert set an unprecedented 125-game winning streak on clay courts. The record ended in the 1979 Rome Open, where Evert lost to Trey in the semifinals. West - Austin (Tracy-Austin); then, she maintained a two-year winning streak on the clay court, until the 1981 French Open.

Before and after, for a full nine years, Evert's clay court record was an incredible 197 wins and one loss.

Some players can't win 200 victories in their entire lives, but Evert has created such a winning streak on clay, which also makes Nadal's 81-game winning streak on clay a bit bleak.

Most importantly, Evert was the first professional player to backhand with both hands.

Before that, people generally used one-handed backhand, and even if some people occasionally used two-handed backhand, they did not make a name for themselves.

When Evert started tennis, because of her short stature, she couldn't do a one-handed backhand, so her father had to teach her to hold the backhand with both hands, hoping to change back to the "normal" one-handed backhand when she grew up.

However, Evert has not changed.

Quite the contrary, Evert's two-handed backhand changed the sport so much that one-handed backhands are now rare.

In 2008, Evert married the Australian golf star Greg-Norman (Greg-Norman), so she also travels between the United States and Australia all year round, and often appears on the scene as a guest of the Australian Open.

It can be seen that Evert's professional views are undoubtedly of great reference value.

Evert didn't take into account the mood of the Australian hosts, said a word of justice, and—

There was a very, very brief silence in the studio.

I'm afraid that the air will suddenly be quiet.

While looking at each other, no one took the initiative to speak.

But Evert was not moved at all, his expression did not change much, and he continued to speak stubbornly.

"In my opinion, Gao Wen is very, very looking forward to the match against Rafa, and he has already prepared for this match, both mentally and physically."

"So, the game should be good to watch and have suspense."

Visible to the naked eye at the scene, the host's expression was almost about to crack.

But what can they do with Evert?

What else can I do!

"Hehe, Chris, it seems that you have full confidence in Gao Wen, let us hope that your expectations will not be disappointed." The host reluctantly answered.

Such cynicism was of no use to Evert. She nodded solemnly, "I will go to the scene to watch the game. Let us look forward to a wonderful match."

Host: ...This is a live broadcast This is a live broadcast This is a live broadcast~lightnovelpub.net~ No foul language. cannot!

Strictly speaking, the "Australian Open Show" is not a professional program, but an entertaining talk show, so the views are not professional.

Nevertheless, it is undeniable that the attitude reflected in the "Australian Open Show" is precisely the true portrayal of the mood of the fans of the host country at this time.

Australian fans like Nadal very much, not necessarily as much as Federer or local players, but they definitely like it very, very much; and now, local fans' love for Nadal has reached an unprecedented peak, and it is overwhelming exploded on social networks.

because!

Nadal is the best hope to snipe Gao Wen!

The local fans could no longer wait any longer, they needed to see Gao Wen out, and now, immediately and on the spot! I don't want to wait a second longer.

If Nadal can beat Gao Wen today, he can even win the "national hero" treatment in Australia.

But the problem is that Nadal has always lacked a little luck at Melbourne Park, and he never seems to be the "Australian Open favorite".
