Chapter 1064: worlds apart

Chapter 1065

Alexander Zverev didn't like Gawain.

This is an affirmative sentence.

And, he wasn't prepared to hide this.

For a long time, he has been the proud son of heaven, bathed in the eyes of praise and expectations and grew up. From the tennis academy to his youth and then to his professional career, he has always been unfavorable. Among his peers, he showed the temperament of the king early on, and the journey is smooth Shun Shui, never out of focus.

In April 2014, after reaching the age of seventeen and meeting the ATP minimum age limit requirements, he immediately turned into a professional player, kicking off his professional career.

brilliant, still—

After Tomic in 2009, the youngest challenger champion; after Gasquet in 2004, the first 17-year-old player to beat the world's top 20; after Cilic in 2006, the first 17-year-old player to advance to the semi-finals of the ATP Tour Year-old player; after Nadal and Gasquet in 2003, the first year-end ranking among the top 150 seventeen-year-old players.

the youngest.

first place.

Seventeen.

Although his career has just started, around these keywords, he is still the strongest in the new generation, carrying the dawn of hope for the "post-95s".

The media, coaches, fans... even the opponents are all expressing the same idea, and the whole world is full of praise and affirmation.

Early on, keywords such as "future world No. 1", "Grand Slam champion", "history maker" and so on have been tied to the name "Alexander Zverev".

pressure?

He doesn't care, on the contrary, he enjoys such cheers and halo, he enjoys such praise and attention, as if standing in the center of the world.

The spotlight belongs to him.

No matter where he goes, the halo is always with him, and he is sought after by the crowd and attracts everyone's attention, even in the arena of the Grand Slam Masters.

The German media raised their arms and shouted that after Becker and Graf, the hope of revival of German tennis rested on the shoulders of this 17-year-old young man.

how wonderful.

That feeling was like standing on the top of a mountain, all the people surrendered, and everyone prostrated themselves on the ground, waiting for him to change the fate of the entire sport.

but!

Gawain appeared.

His world was like a sand castle, seemingly grand and magnificent, but fell apart in a blink of an eye. He tried his best to save it, but it only accelerated the destruction.

In July last year, they were still competing on the challenge stage—

Although he lost that game, he didn't care. He believed that he was just careless, and that he underestimated the enemy, which led to his abnormal performance; when he waited for the next fight, he could prove himself, and he could prove himself with practical actions. I am the representative of the new generation of "post-95s".

However…

After that, in just one month, the world was turned upside down, all sights, all lights, and all focus were all rushing towards Gao Wen.

Even the German media is no exception.

He deeply felt that he seemed to have been abandoned by the world, even forgotten, no one cared about him anymore, and he was moldy and growing mushrooms in a dark corner.

When the 2014 season ended, the tennis professional media was still lamenting that Zverev Jr. became the youngest player among the top 150 in the world, and became the first player after Nadal and Gasquet. A seventeen-year-old boy who has accomplished such a feat again for a whole decade.

137.

This is his year-end world ranking, but he couldn't laugh when he looked at this number, and even thought it was a shame, "137" was laughing at his embarrassment and incompetence—

Coric, the youngest player in the top 100 in the world, is only five months older than Zverev Jr.

Gao Wen, the youngest player in the top ten in the world, he is also the youngest player to complete the feat of being among the top ten in the world after Nadal in 2004.

And Gawain was only one full year older than Church Ridge.

Without comparison, there is no harm.

"137", those praises, affirmations, and expectations surrounding this number, fell into the eyes of Zverev Jr., and all of them evolved into ridicule, ridicule, and attacks.

For this reason, throughout the offseason, he worked hard and gritted his teeth, trying to win back his crown with a blockbuster after the opening of the new season.

But...but!

After the new season kicked off, everyone knew Gao Wen's story. Even if he hid at the end of the world, the overwhelming news made sure everyone heard about it.

So, what about Zverev Jr.?

In the 2015 season, he tried to leave the Challenger League stage, and launched an impact towards higher-level ATP events, Grand Slam, Masters, and truly participated in professional competition.

The reality turned out to be counterproductive. Since the start of the Australian season, he has been unable to break through the qualifying rounds.

anger.

envy.

resentment.

disgust.

Aggrieved.

It's hard to imagine, last July, they were still at the same level of players, and eight months later, that guy was already unattainable.

Life, has been a world of difference.

To be precise, Zverev Jr. hated Gawain because Gawain took away everything that should belong to him, as if he stole his life.

In Indian Wells, Zverev Jr. still came to participate in the qualifying round, hoping to pass two rounds of tests, advance to the main match, and win his own glory on the stage of the fifth Grand Slam.

Then, he saw Gao Wen.

That despicable, sinister, cunning, self-righteous, and arrogant villain just stood in the middle of the road, blocking the way for everyone to come and go, as if the entire universe had to revolve around him. The arrogance of the villain's success.

"He must have thought he was the sun."

Little Zverev still believed that his performance would definitely not be inferior to Gao Wen's. No, to be precise, his career must be better than Gao Wen's.

Unswervingly believe that he just needs a little time to accumulate, his talent, his ability, his strength will shine.

Assuming, at this moment, if he was given a chance to compete with Gao Wen on the court, he would believe that he could defeat this arrogant guy.

Hmph, ostentatiously occupying the main road to obstruct public order, and then apologized hypocritically, that hypocritical smile seems to be sure that others will buy it~lightnovelpub.net~ but every move and every expression on his body reveals greasy and Arrogant, disgusting, stomach already rolling.

Little Zverev dismissed it at all, glanced away, and muttered in a low voice.

"Tsk, what's the big deal."

The sound of the wind caused the sound to drift away, and before Gawain had time to react, Dimitrov's face immediately pulled down without warning.

"What did you say?"

Little Zverev was a little surprised, but looking at the dog-legged Dimitrov, he despised Gao Wen even more. Did that guy just hide behind his friend like this? A friend to do the dirty work so he can keep pretending to be nice? Wishful thinking is really crackling.

Will little Zverev be afraid?

of course not.

He simply stopped and turned around, "I said, what's the big deal? Do high-ranked players have privileges? Low-ranked players can also use the practice field, okay? You occupy the main road like this, disturbing public order, And then expect the other players to shut up and not allow accusations?"

Sharp and sharp.
