American presenter: Saba doesn't deserve to be the number one in the world at all, and this position should be given to Gauff

Recently, Gauff, who won the French Open, appeared on a talk show in the United States, but some of the male host's remarks caused a lot of controversy.

The smoke of the French Open has cleared, but the fierce debate over whether world No. 1 Sabalenka "can't afford to lose" has never stopped, and it all started with her controversial remarks after her defeat to Gauff in the women's singles final.

Sabalenka was in a particularly gloomy mood after losing the French Open women's singles final, and the air in the press conference room after the match was filled with the smell of gunpowder. As soon as the reporter asked the question "How do you evaluate this final", the anger of the world No. 1 was visible to the naked eye: "The wind is too strong, and the wind today is so strong that it can blow the caddie away!" I played the worst final of my career! 70 unforced errors! Hell it if you can win this way! ”

Sabalenka's anger continued, and then she took aim at Gauff, who won the championship, intentionally or unintentionally, "I defeated a lot of good players, Olympic champions Zheng Qinwen and Swiatek, so many victories, but the level of the final fell off a cliff!" If Swiatek had beaten me in the semi-finals, she would have been the one to win the cup today! ”

The remarks were met with almost one-sided criticism, with many arguing that the world No. 1 could not afford to lose, and that such a statement was too undignified.

And in the show that Gauff participated in, the host also brought up this topic intentionally or unintentionally. However, the moderator's questions were very sharp and uncomfortable.

"The reason why I mentioned her [Sabalenka] is because although she is the number one player in the world, I don't think she should be the world number one now, especially after this loss," the host said. It's up to you (Gauff) to be the number one in the world. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was also surprised, and then the host continued to explain, "But what I ask is, what is wrong with her?" I mean, someone has to ask that question. After losing to you, she becomes a very sore loser, so what happened to her? ”

In this regard, some netizens commented, "Of course! No one wouldn't find Sabalenka's doing that too much, but obviously it was a question full of pitfalls, and the presenter had too many complicated ideas for Gauff to answer head-on. Some netizens said, "Don't have any intentions! This is typical hype, he is clearly trying to elevate Gauff while ruthlessly belittling Sabalenka, this is pure traffic conspiracy! ”

Some netizens also said, "It's not fair! These are obviously two different things! Sabalenka certainly loses her grace, but it has nothing to do with whether she deserves to be the world number one, she has risen to the top of the world on her own strength over the past 12 months, not on a performance that has become world number one at a certain stage. Obviously, the host is also a layman in the tennis world, and he is simply trying to confuse the concept and then provoke contradictions, but such an outcome will only end up leaving Gauff in a dilemma,"

However, fortunately, Gauff is still as high as ever, and her reply is still the same as her previous response. She explained that she thought Sabalenka was just losing the final, and that she could understand how she felt, given that she had just missed out on a Grand Slam title and had done the same thing herself.

The French Open is over, but the debate about the "character of the champion" does not know when the curtain will end, Gauff's "I will definitely win the championship" written eight times on the paper is certainly talked about, but Sabalenka's character and the loss of the title also makes people sigh: the controversial speech at the press conference is destined to become a stain on her crown, when the technical ability has reached the top of the world, but the battle of minds can really determine how far a player can go.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Lu Xiaotian)
