Chapter 511 Busy Celebration
boom!
When Gao Wen stood at the forefront and held up the trophy like a "Lion King", the sky was full of paper fireworks, as gorgeous as a celestial girl scattered flowers, and the sound of flashing lights and shutters once again flooded down the sky, blowing the sky in the middle of the court to the ground. Surrounded by literary groups, it is as if standing in the center of the world.
The awards ceremony procedures of the four Grand Slams are different, and the US Open is undoubtedly the most casual and simple. There is no sense of ceremony when the national anthem is not played and the national flag is raised.
Moreover, this year's women's singles final invited two women's tennis legends Martina-Avratilova and Chris-Evert as award presenters to witness Serena Williams making history ; But the men's singles final obviously lacked some source of power, and finally David Hargit of the US Tennis Association served as the guest of honor, which reduced some starlight.
I'm afraid that no one could have expected Gao Wen's summit, otherwise it would be an interesting choice to invite Zhang Depei to present the award——
However, whether the details of Gao Wen's elimination of Kei Nishikori's advancement will affect Zhang Depei's decision is unknown.
Even so, the moment of reaching the top and winning the championship is still a happy moment.
Harjit took the lead in handing Gao Wen a small white envelope, which contained a check for a championship bonus of three million U.S. dollars—the highest prize money for the championship in the four Grand Slams, and the US Open is still the most proud in the entire professional tennis world. competition; and then awarded the championship trophy to Gao Wen.
When Gao Wen saw the engraving on the championship trophy:
"2014, Wen-Gao".
A sense of reality and beauty rushed over his face at the same time, and then Gao Wen looked up at the paper fireworks flying all over the sky, smiling like a child.
The awards ceremony came to an end amidst the flashing lights and the sound of shutters filling the audience, and the last Grand Slam event in 2014 was all over.
Of course, the moment of glory belonging to the champion is far from over——
The post-match press conference was bustling with people, and the No. 1 press conference room was so crowded that the corridor outside the door was also paralyzed.
Carrying the championship trophy, climbed to the top of the Empire State Building in New York to take a photo of the champion. Even though the Empire State Building closed the venue, the downstairs was still surrounded by turbulent crowds on the third floor and the third floor outside. A TV station even sent a helicopter to live broadcast the interview. The scene witnessed the birth of another historical moment:
The Empire State Building is lit up in Chinese red, and the bright and bright red dispels the heavy night and lights up the whole city.
That night, accompanied by Tobias, Gao Wen attended the official victory celebration dinner hosted by the US Open. There, Gao Wen met the legendary superstar Serena Williams, the women's singles champion. Apparently, Serena Williams, who had just completed a self-breakthrough Si was in a good mood, and even Gao Wen, who met for the first time, had a good time talking.
"Hey, I remember your name, Wen Gao. Right? Am I pronouncing it correctly?" Serena Williams greeted him with a smile on her face, trying to pronounce Gao Wen's name accurately.
Gao Wen was very surprised.
Serena Williams covered her mouth and laughed, "I saw the clip of the game between you and John. To be honest, the self-introduction part is my favorite moment at this year's US Open, second only to you at the championship award ceremony. speech."
Gao Wen never expected that Serena Williams not only knew himself, but also knew a lot. He spread his hands helplessly, "It seems that there are many, many things happening on the Internet that I don't know about. It seems to have exposed my background, and while I'm not sure if I should be happy, the only positive thing should be that I can omit my self-introduction in the future."
The light and witty response made Serena Williams laugh happily again, "You're a funny guy."
The celebratory dinner is actually not that interesting, because it's all a social occasion.
From reporters taking pictures—yes, taking pictures again; to senior members of the USTA, legendary tennis superstars at the Hall of Fame level, etc.; to the champions of other US Open events this year, doubles matches, youth matches, wheelchair matches , Veterans Competition, etc., all gathered together.
A dinner, first of all, is definitely not a party, and secondly, it is not a serious dinner—because the dinner food is not the focus. Wen opened a door.
Late at night, when Gao Wen returned to the hotel where he stayed, it was already two o'clock in the morning.
This is abnormal, extremely abnormal, and completely breaks the daily schedule of professional players; moreover, after going through a final and countless interviews, the energy consumption has far exceeded the physical strength, and those things after winning the championship are better than a five-set game It will be even harder to finish the race.
Gao Wen didn't even have time to take off his evening dress and suit, he threw himself on the bed and fell into a drowsy sleep.
At the same time, across the Pacific Ocean, the moon sets and the sun rises, the golden sun shines down, everything recovers, a new day begins, and this earth-shattering storm begins to brew.
"Win! Champion!"
The affirmation from the sports newspaper "Sports Weekly", the highest-selling sports newspaper in China, kicked off with a bang. It was not only the headline on the front page, but also published a huge photo of Gao Wen——

The gorgeous sunset and the turbulent crowd behind him were all reduced to the background. You can even clearly see the sweat on his cheeks and neck, as well as the wet jersey. The muscular lines underneath, and the clear and young face are filled with youthful vigor and vitality.
The power and momentum just soar above, as if they are about to break free and rush out of the paper in the next second.
This action was captured by different news agencies from different angles, and it has also become the first choice for today's major sports media to report on the championship.

A miracle was born like this.
The headlines on the front page of the "Sports Weekly" created an amazing effect comparable to Liu Xiang's championship in the 110-meter hurdles in Athens, and spread it out in a mighty way.
And they are only one-hundred and thirty-sixth of the physical newspapers and magazines that carried out the report, because they were too turbulent and fierce, so that the first reaction of many people was:
"Are there so many domestic sports media now?"
