"Hey. Hey! Brother, if you continue, I might vomit blood on the spot."

"Instead of thinking about Tanya-Harding (Tonya-Harding), why not train well, and see you in the North American season?"

Gao Wen, with some teasing at his fingertips, easily broke up the solemn and complicated atmosphere, and regained the feeling of joy and lightness in a blink of an eye.

Tanya Harding, American figure skater, in 1994, suspected of "buying murder" before the Olympic trials, injuring the right thigh of the main competitor Nancy Kerrigan (Nancy-Kerrigan); later, in 2017, the incident Adapted for the movie "I, Tonya", reenacting the events.

Although with the widespread use of the Internet, various doubts and contradictions of the incident have surfaced, and the truth has been questioned again; but in the past two decades, the whole incident has been so famous and shocking that "Tanya- Harding" became synonymous with attacking opponents.

With a joke, Dimitrov couldn't control himself anymore and burst out laughing. He also followed Gawain's words and teased him back.

"Very good, I will seriously consider your suggestion."

Wait, which suggestion?

Train well and fight another day, or...Tanya Harding?

When he let go of his embrace, Dimitrov could see Gawain's dumbfounded expression, and his hearty laughter exploded like bubbles emerging from the water.

The audience on Stadium No. 1 witnessed this scene with their own eyes. It is not just "friendship first and competition second", but also a fighting friendship of sympathy, encouraging each other, helping each other and stimulating each other, urging the opponent to become a better player , continue to grow, continue to transform, and climb the peak.

Just like Federer and Nadal.

Of course, this does not mean that the two young men in front of us can stand shoulder to shoulder with the two legends, nor do they regard the two young men as the successors of Federer and Nadal; it is a kind of expectation and hope for the new generation, which belongs to the men's tennis world. The splendor and brilliance of the future are slowly laid out in front of our eyes.

For a long time, Gao Wen, as the leader of Youth Storm, has been thriving, but for competitive sports, a representative figure is far from enough.

The brilliance of the Big Four comes from the strong collision of the four players, chasing after each other; the brilliance of the Challenger League comes from the flourishing of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic generations. In addition to Wawrinka and Gawain, Berdych, Tesson Plus, Anderson, Simon, Karlovic and other players also performed well.

In short, what competitive sports needs is confrontation, otherwise, if you stand out and sweep the army, you will inevitably fall into boredom if you look good.

This is the case with the current new generation, Gao Wen is far ahead, including Raonic and Dimitrov, the two representatives of the new generation who took the lead, it seems difficult to catch up with Gao Wen's footsteps, which also shows the weakness of the new generation, Gao Wen The better the performance of the new generation, the more disappointed people will be with the new generation.

Today, Dimitrov, who is deeply in the vortex of depression, finally showed the spirit of the new generation born in the 90s, and joined hands with Gao Wen to present this classic.

anticipation, rekindling—

Maybe, the new generation can emerge more outstanding players; maybe, Gao Wen and Dimitrov can join forces to create a new era in the new generation; maybe, the strong confrontation between Gao Wen and Dimitrov can bring excitement , and finally let the new generation usher in a qualitative transformation and rise in an all-round way.

This is the point.

Clap clap!

The applause rose steadily.

Because of the deep friendship between Gao Wen and Dimitrov on and off the court, because the two players contributed the best matchup since the start of Wimbledon, and because the two post-90s finally contributed a match that met people's expectations. In a strong duel, the surging enthusiasm can no longer be suppressed.

Clap clap!

The audience roared!

After Gao Wen and Dimitrov shook hands with the referee respectively, the two players packed up their equipment familiarly, raised their hands high, and gave applause to the audience who was packed. Without those cheers and applause, this The excitement of a game may be greatly reduced.

In the end, amidst the roaring applause, Gawain and Dimitrov walked side by side, talking and laughing, and left the stadium, exactly the same as before the opening.

"...I'm not sure yet. That day, Pete suggested to me that I should first find a coach, and then I should run in for a week before deciding on the North American itinerary. What do you think?"

"I believe Pete's suggestion. Of course, you need more games now, but the role of a coach can not only formulate new tactics and growth directions, but also make more comprehensive arrangements starting from the schedule. Therefore, the coach , are you going to seek information from John, or what?"

Although they are opponents on the field, they are friends off the field. Dimitrov is asking Gawain for advice—

The Wimbledon experience has given Dimitrov more confidence, and he can't wait to prepare for the next North American hard court season.

The ultimate goal is the US Open at the end of August.

However, the absence of a coach due to Rashid's absence remains a problem ahead of the trip to North America.

"I..." Dimitrov was about to respond, and then he noticed Gawain's gaze looking forward, with a playful smile in his eyes.

Dimitrov stopped, followed Gawain's line of sight, and saw Sharapova standing in front with a slight smile in the next second.

Sharapova glanced at Gao Wen, "One second you were fighting on the court, and the next second you were chatting and laughing. Aren't you guys split?"

In women's tennis, Sharapova has a very famous statement: I have no friends in the WTA. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

Although the original words are not so, but the meaning conveyed is so.

Sharapova believes that in order to maintain the fighting spirit and murderous spirit on the court, they cannot be friends, especially the friendship between women, which is often full of impulsiveness, emotion, and sentimentality; The so-called friends are just acting on occasion.

After these words came out, they immediately offended a group of people, including the all-powerful Russian Pink Army back then, which led to Sharapova being isolated.

It's just that Sharapova doesn't care, she still firmly believes in her point of view, if she is going to crush her opponents in the arena, then they cannot be friends.

Of course, the WTA is different from the ATP. Similarly, everyone faces the outcome, the way they deal with the game and the mentality to deal with it.

Once up, Sharapova was on full fire.

Gao Wen was still smiling, and met Sharapova's eyes with a smile, "So, are you complaining about your boyfriend's loss now?"

The little ridicule immediately made Sharapova a little helpless, and she rolled her eyes—

Since the short conversation in Miami, Gao Wen and Sharapova have also met several times in the past few months, and it can be noticed that Sharapova's attitude has indeed undergone some small changes.

Sharapova could also tell that Gawain and Dimitrov were indeed good friends, and Gawain also sincerely helped Dimitrov.

Although Sharapova remained skeptical, at least she did not show her sharpness again.

Seeing Sharapova's expression, Dimitrov walked forward and gave his girlfriend a big hug, with a smile on his face.

"Just now on the pitch, I've come back with a vengeance."
