Match point, cash out—

Gao Wen clenched his fists heavily, turned to look at the player's box, and a smile bloomed on the corner of his mouth.

At any time, the first round of a Grand Slam is a challenge. The adaptation to the venue, the adjustment of mood, the adjustment of the state, etc. are all new beginnings; the first clay-court Grand Slam in the career is even more so. The environment, the unfamiliar venue, all challenges are different.

Judging from the score, Gao Wen took the opponent lightly, but to be honest, nervousness is inevitable, and it is a good thing that he was able to pass the test smoothly in the end.

A victory starts a new journey.

In the player's box, Gao Wen's team was no exception.

Although no one showed it and maintained a poker face throughout the whole process, they could still feel their nervousness when they clenched their fists and cheered at the end of the game. Compared with Gao Wen, it was even worse, just to avoid affecting Gao Wen's game state. , has been carefully concealed.

Especially Agassi, who has always been restrained and calm.

This year's clay court season, Agassi assumed the responsibility of the head coach, but Gao Wen's overall performance dropped significantly. Even though they all knew that this was normal and expected, the pressure on Agassi's shoulders was still piled up little by little. It is indeed a good thing to be able to easily defeat the opponent today.

From a certain point of view, it was indeed a good luck for Gao Wen to draw Tiafo, a tour rookie who is not good at clay.

At the moment of fulfilling the match point, Sampras jumped up high and gave Agassi a big hug.

As a result, Agassi was slightly stunned, but he didn't dodge as usual, and was hugged firmly by Sampras, which is the best proof.

While waiting to react, Agassi noticed Pelt's unexpected eyes:

It turned out that they were all the same, one and two were nervous.

Agassi was speechless, and gave Sampras a hard look.

Originally, Sampras just relaxed his nervousness and casually hugged a small partner who was fighting side by side. He didn't choose Agassi on purpose, but when he saw Agassi's reaction at this time, he got a mischievous mentality and deliberately showed his face. With a treacherous smile, he shook his head triumphantly.

Agassi: …

In the end, Agassi didn't intend to joke with Sampras, who was only seven years old this year. He touched his bald head and refused to speak any more.

"Haha", Sampras smiled brightly.

In competitive sports, everything can be solved with victory, it's that simple, those tensions, anxiety, and pranks are no longer important at this time.

call.

On the court, Gawain, who noticed this scene when he turned his head to look at the players' boxes, smiled up at the corner of his mouth, let out a long breath, and finally let out all the mixed feelings of stepping on Roland Garros for the first time. The mind can relax a little bit.

Even thinking about eating melons, it is estimated that the two old guys Sampras and Agassi will dislike each other again.

Turning around and walking lightly, Gawain was about to go to the net to shake hands with Tiafoe, but—

What about people?

On the other side of the court, there was no sign of Tiafoe, which made Gawain a little surprised. Why did the opponent he saw just a second ago disappear when he turned around?

The empty venue seemed a little lonely, but Gao Wen couldn't find an outlet for the question marks in his head:

Could it be that he returned to the players' rest area first?

Slightly taken aback, Gao Wen carefully scanned the opposite side, not letting go of every corner. There was no one in the players' rest area, and only the figures of referees and ball boys were moving near the baseline—

Wait, caddy?

It was half a beat later before Gao Wen found the target person, like a chameleon, perfectly blending into the environment, he couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud with a puff.

I saw that Tiafoe had his back to the court, his cheeks and the top of his head were pasted on the billboard behind the court, standing with his hands and feet together, like a primary school student who was punished by the teacher to stand.

Because the back is facing the court, you can’t see the expression, but you don’t need to face it at all. From the back, you can deeply feel the frustration emanating from Tiafoe:

I'm autistic.

That childish way of expression has a kind of simplicity and innocence.

Obviously, he is expressing his dissatisfaction in this way-he is not satisfied with his performance today, and this is definitely not the right way to open up.

ha!

Not only Gao Wen, but the audience who were applauding and cheering, couldn't hold back when they saw this scene, and roared with laughter.

There was a relaxed and festive atmosphere at the Susan Lenglen Stadium.

Looking at Tiafoe who was facing the wall in thought, Gao Wen stepped forward with a bright smile, walked around the net, came to the court on the side of Tiafoe, and took the initiative to meet him.

I took off my ball cap and stroked my sweat-soaked hair casually. Although Melbourne also felt the heat wave at the beginning of the year, the hot and humid weather was really uncomfortable, but when I came to Paris, I felt different. A climatic condition in which you sweat a little more than usual.

After that, Gao Wen had already reached the bottom line.

As a result, before he could open his mouth, Tiafoe had finished facing the wall, turned around ahead of time, and saw Gao Wen coming towards him at a glance.

With a pitiful expression on his face, he looked as if he was about to cry in the next second. His shoulders drooped, his head was downcast, and then his knees softened, and he might melt into a puddle of mud and disappear under his feet at any time.

Flutter.

Gao Wen didn't hold back, he just laughed out loud, the corners of his mouth and eyes were full of smiles.

Looking at this scene, Tiafou spread his hands, made an exaggerated angry expression, and shook his head again and again, "You go, why are you still running here?"

That vivid expression made the melon-eating crowd in the front row of the audience burst into laughter.

However, Gao Wen really stopped, raised his right hand and pointed behind him, and asked with his eyes, "Then I really want to go?"

Against the generals.

Tiafoe, a fledgling kid, panicked immediately, showing a big smile, with a fawning look in his eyes, judging from his expression, he could not be more than five years old, and trotted all the way towards Gao Wen, with open arms, He bumped against Gao Wen in a bullfighting posture.

boom!

Tiafoe gave Gao Wen a big hug~lightnovelpub.net~ Never would have expected that Gao Wen would back up again and again as if in a "car accident"; moreover, instead of taking one step back, he backed up in a series of small steps, Taking advantage of the trend, all the force of Tiafo's collision was disintegrated, and Tiafoe followed Gao Wen's footsteps all the way forward, unable to stop the car at all.

"Eh?"

Tiafoe was really surprised, he didn't expect such a follow-up, and staggered two steps.

A heads up.

Tiafoe saw the mischievous smile on Gawain's face, he was a little too late to react, and the smile climbed to the brow.

Only then did Gao Wen stop, and patted Tiafoe on the shoulder to express his encouragement.

Tiafoe finally came to his senses, "Brother, it was a wonderful game, it was indeed a wonderful game, you deserve to win."

Gao Wen also patted Tiafoe on the back again, "A wonderful game requires two players to complete it together. I think we have both completed the task."

"Haha." Gawain's response made Tiafo smile brightly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, which looked like a toothpaste advertisement.
