Match Point

Chapter 975: Asia 1 brother

Although Harnett didn't want to admit it, but

regret.

I really regret it, I regret it until my intestines are green, and my internal organs are burned, I really feel uncomfortable.

The point is, the entire conference room is like this, and it's kind of funny watching everyone with heartburn but keeping a smile on their face so as not to give away a sliver of jealousy.

Harnett had a hard time holding back his laughter.

"Crack! Crack!"

"Notice!"

Directly in front, someone clapped twice, focusing all the attention of the conference room.

"Be sober."

"cheer up."

"We said, this is Adidas, the Adidas who will not regret anyone who misses any opportunity, because we have such confidence."

"Everyone in front of me is an all-powerful figure, there is no need to moan and whine just because I missed it once."

"We missed Djokovic and then Murray. Do we regret it? Obviously not. Were we wrong? I think, neither."

"So, it's the same now."

Initially, both Djokovic and Murray were signed by Adidas, but due to different reasons, both did not renew their contracts, causing the two giants to switch to other brands respectively.

Adidas has always insisted on a point of view, they don't need to regret or regret, because a brand is definitely bigger than an individual player.

Adidas also believes that it is not impossible for Nike to give up Federer and Nadal if necessary.

Everything is possible.

In fact, after Djokovic and Murray switched to other brands, their market value did not usher in a blowout as expected.

Is it because they are not good enough?

of course not.

But because business superstars need more complicated conditions.

This is true of all professional competitive sports including football, basketball, golf, etc. Countless football superstars are far inferior to a David Beckham in terms of commercial value. points, but in the commercial field, Ronaldo is far ahead.

"Superstar" is hard to come by.

Therefore, Adidas does not regret missing Djokovic and Murray. This is the truth, not hard-spoken.

Facing Gao Wen now, it should be the same.

"Of course, if we could do it all over again, we would definitely take the opportunity without hesitation, after all, those numbers do look very attractive."

"However, there is no if."

"So, instead of staring at those numbers, it's better to think about solutions. Men's tennis should not only include these players, we should expand the target, not only players born after 1990, but also players born after 1995 and 2000. agenda."

In the conference room, after a short period of anxiety and uneasiness, he finally regained his attention.

Harnett also let out a long breath. Although it is very, very regretful to miss Gawain, the matter is a foregone conclusion, and Gawain should be a thing of the past.

They should focus on the future, and then completely turn the page on Gao Wen.

It's not easy though.

later.

Adidas made a series of moves, signing Tim, Zverev, Tsitsipas and many other young players, as well as a series of Chinese men's players.

It's like losing your mind.

So that later, when Gao Wen returned to China, he trained with his peers, but he fell into the siege of Adidas, and a Nike looked very lonely.

However, no one can be sure whether this is directly related to Gao Wen. Anyway, it is not a day or two for Nike and Adidas to fight in the ring.

The only thing that is certain is that Luzhou Laojiao wins big and Nike wins even bigger.

Of course, the biggest winner is still Gao Wen.

From the legendary celebrities headed by Laver, to the sponsored brands headed by Nike, to the bustling fans who started to watch tennis, the upsurge of winning the Australian Open has always been laid out around Gao Wen, and in the following For a long time, there is still no end in sight.

Two small details.

First, it was the second time in Gao Wen's career that he appeared on CCTV's 7:00 p.m. news broadcast.

Second, CCTV's rebroadcast of the Australian Open final still attracted eight million viewers.

Of course, online video-on-demand is the real big head.

Less than a week after the Australian Open ended, the hit rate easily exceeded 100 million.

Note that the "replay" mentioned here is not the highlights of the game, but the five hours and 30 minutes of the game. Only after watching for a certain period of time can it be counted as a replay.

Such data is so frightening.

Moreover, the number of on-demand programs continues to grow.

Aftermath, curl up.

There is no doubt that Gao Wen is growing into a national idol of a new generation of competitive sports, and even passers-by who know nothing about tennis are also focusing on it.

Since the Athens Olympic Games, after more than ten years of long accumulation, the tennis craze has finally been fully ignited, spreading across the land of China like a prairie fire.

At the same time, p and also announced the latest world rankings, and the follow-up influence of the first Grand Slam of the year is emerging.

, relatively stable, Serena Williams is firmly in the back seat with the championship, followed by Sharapova, at least until the arrival of the clay court season, there should not be much change.

p, In fact, there is no earth-shaking change, because the top eight seeds except for Federer are all gathered in the top eight, and the overall performance is also very stable, but in comparison, they can still feel the impact of the new generation more clearly and clearly, It is indeed ushering in a new pattern.

Grand Slam tournaments have different bonuses. Every year, due to the change of sponsors, the bonuses will change slightly, but the points are all the same.

Men's game:

Champion, runner-up with 2000 points ~lightnovelpub.net~ semi-finals, 720 points top eight, 360 points top 16, 180 points and so on.

In addition, if you win the first round, you will get 10 points.

In addition, the three qualifying rounds also have points, the second round, 8 points, and the third round, 16 points. In addition, if you successfully pass the qualifying test and advance to the main match, you will have an additional 25 points.

It is clear at a glance.

Masters, champion, 1000 points, 500 points, championship, 500 points, 250 points, champion, 250 points.

It is precisely because of this that the Grand Slam is the top priority of the year, because a good performance in one event can completely change the situation.

Similarly, after the grand slam ends every year, because the points are rich and the points of this year's grand slam are used to replace the points of last year's grand slam, the world rankings often change significantly, especially this year.

On February 2nd, the latest world rankings.

First, Djokovic, 12205.

Second, Federer, 9205.

Third, Gao Wen, 6460.

Fourth, Nadal, 5745.

Fifth, Murray, 5460.

Sixth, Kei Nishikori, 5205.

Seventh, Raonic, 4845.

Eighth, Berdych, 4660.

Ninth, Wawrinka, 4050.

Tenth, Ferrer, 3965.

Overall, there have been many changes, but the most notable ones are Wawrinka and Gao Wen.

Wawrinka failed to defend his title. Although the semi-finals won 720 points, he lost the 2,000 points he won last year, and his world ranking fell all the way to the edge of the top ten.

Gao Wen, reached the top for the first time, with the championship 2000 points, not only surpassed Kei Nishikori in one fell swoop, becoming the new No. 1 brother in Asia, but also reached the top three in the world ranking for the first time.

The world is in chaos!
