Chapter 1450 Positive Influence

Seeing Dimitrov's smile fully bloomed, Gawain felt a little relieved.

Although Dimitrov tried his best to cover it up, his state is still a bit sluggish today. Gao Wen didn't think too much, guessing that the impact of being out in the first round of the French Open still hasn't dissipated, and Dimitrov still agreed to come to accompany Gao Wen trained, and he kept this friendship in his heart.

It's good to see Dimitrov in the mood to joke now.

After the little joke, the training will continue.

However, Dimitrov grabbed Gawain who was about to turn around and return to the baseline, "Training, let's talk about training next, I'm serious."

A smile climbed up the corner of his mouth again, and it might be difficult to calm down for a while.

Dimitrov took a deep breath and finally regained his concentration. Looking at Gao Wen who rolled his eyes, he repeatedly declared his innocence.

"real!"

"I want to say, is there something wrong with my volley in front of the net just now?"

Dimitrov really meant what Rashid said. He believed that he could learn different things from Gawain, including skills and mentality. Communication between players, equal dialogue.

Of course, not all players are willing to share—

In the final analysis, the moment they stand on the field, they are competitors, and helping the opponent is tantamount to weakening themselves, which is obviously not wise.

But Gao Wen is different. He doesn't mind sharing or discussing.

In this regard, Rashid believes that it is because Gawain did not pay attention to Dimitrov and Tim, "He thinks he is superior to you, and he doesn't care about you at all, otherwise why didn't you look at it?" What about him sharing and communicating with Roger and Rafa? Because he thinks they are the opponents, and you are not at his level at all."

Dimitrov didn't think so, Gawain wasn't so dark.

Gao Wen believes that helping each other is to urge and motivate each other. When the opponent becomes stronger, it means urging the players to continue to improve themselves.

He doesn't need to belittle his opponent maliciously at all, but to meet all challenges upright and bravely face any possible results.

He is not afraid of challenges and even embraces every challenge with open arms.

Look at Gawain, then look at Nadal.

After Gao Wen defeated Nadal to advance to the semi-finals, someone in the post-match press conference posed a difficult problem to Nadal to sow discord.

They asked Nadal if he regretted inviting Gowain to Mallorca for training, and whether Nadal thought Gowain could take away the victory by stealing from him.

Nadal scoffed at this.

"No, I don't think so."

"Gao Wen is an excellent player. He is always growing and improving. He is always eager to learn and enrich his game. It will be more and more difficult to face him at any time and on any surface."

"Today's game, he played better than me, it's that simple. Especially in the second and third sets, when he needed to improve his performance and perform better, he did it, from any point of view , he deserves this victory."

"I don't think Mallorca's training represents anything. He has achieved these improvements and transformations on his own. Of course, with the help of Pete and Andre, he has an excellent team."

"Actually, I was very happy to invite Gawain to Mallorca for training this summer. After the game, in the locker room, I extended the invitation again. I hope he can also go to Mallorca for training next year."

"Maybe, when the time comes, I need to learn from him the experience of beating him."

Objective, sincere, meticulous, and with a touch of humour.

Nadal's answer is the best proof—

Open and aboveboard, positive victory and defeat.

really!

Gawain answered Dimitrov's question without hesitation.

"There isn't any problem, but for me personally, there is no problem that is the problem."

"Grigor, we've discussed it before, you want to be perfect too much, the line, the landing point, the way you hit the ball, etc. You want to show perfect tennis. Once the shot is not perfect, the frustration will come. .”

"But we all need to accept the reality that we are just ordinary human beings. At least when I just confirmed it, I haven't discovered Godhead yet."

Pfft, Dimitrov laughed outright.

"This is especially important on clay."

"Because of the particularity of clay, it leaves us with more room for trial and error. If we blindly pursue perfection, we will easily get ourselves into trouble."

"It's like this point just now."

"My choice of hitting the ball broke your expectations. The accident has already appeared. You are passive, but you want to reverse the situation again with one shot. This is not only a perfect, even impossible task."

"Do you see yourself as the hero of 'Mission: Impossible'?"

"You should think like this, even if you achieve the ultimate, you have indeed reached perfection, but this is clay, and the venue still leaves room for me to maneuver, so instead of pushing yourself to the extreme, you should make some adjustments instead of pursuing perfection , but re-establish the advantage in several steps."

One step at a time, Gao Wen's words completely opened up the court space.

Gawain turned around, and Dimitrov followed Gawain's line of sight to the field opposite him, thinking about a question:

If he forgoes the pursuit of perfection and instead applies pressure by accumulating advantages, batting should be the choice.

When Dimitrov's hitting point is already late, he cuts a short diagonal ball or a midfield backspin ball, leaving a glimmer of life but reducing the difficulty of his own hitting, and the pattern can be opened instead.

First, avoid your return ball going out of bounds.

Second, avoid pushing yourself into a difficult situation and give yourself time to react.

In this way, even if Gao Wen arrives smoothly, Dimitrov can seize the opportunity and continue to seize the high ground for the next shot.

Of course, this does not mean that Dimitrov will be able to win this point. After all, tennis is a game of gambling, and it still depends on Gao Wen's response, but at least Dimitrov can continue to expand his advantage.

This is what tennis is about—

If you can hit the ball perfectly ~lightnovelpub.net~ and end the battle with one shot, that would be great. Federer's wife Mirka is a perfectionist, and she has stricter requirements on Federer than anyone else.

But the point is, the game of tennis changes so fast, so many things can happen in a split second, and it's almost impossible to change the course of the game and be perfect all the time.

In Gao Wen's view, Dimitrov lacked such flexibility.

When Dimitrov is in perfect form, there is no problem with his style of play, and Paipai pursues perfection; but the point is, when Dimitrov is in poor form, how should he handle the game? Reading the game, how to adjust the state, how to find a way to regain control of the rhythm and situation within the perfect range, this is the sign of a mature personal game style.

Dimitrov nodded slightly, his mind full of thoughts:

This is not the first time Gao Wen mentioned this matter.

When he was in Indian Wells before, Gao Wen had already mentioned, "Don't deliberately pursue perfection." Dimitrov thought he understood it, but in fact...

not at all.
