"call…"

With a long breath, Jilong let out a breath, walked through the turbulence and noise, without realizing it, straightened his waist slightly, and swaggered.

One year, whether it is long or short, is fleeting, and before they even have time to savor it carefully, the time has slipped away from their fingertips. Then, they were promoted from ignorant tour rookies to sophomores, no longer newcomers to society, and no longer ignorant rookies.

It's an awkward stage—

On the one hand, they have left the university, and their identities as students and teenagers have drifted away. "You are not a child anymore."

On the one hand, they have not fully adapted to society, and are still young compared with those veterans.

As a result, they are stuck in a position where they can't go up or down, trying to find their place in society, and also find their place in the tour.

389.

That's where Geelong is in the ATP.

It doesn't seem that bad. Compared with Thompson who ranks more than 800, he has found some feeling in the Challenger League; but there is still a clear gap with his own expectations, not to mention the threshold of the top 100, even the top 300 is still a long way away.

Before leaving college and turning professional, Jilong was already mentally prepared. The competition in the ATP is very cruel. He needs patience, perseverance and fighting spirit. NCAA talent is nothing in the professional arena. In the world of competitive sports, the most indispensable thing is talent.

However…

The reality is crueler than imagined.

The world ranking is just a refraction; if you look at the results specifically, it is even more frustrating—

He has not been able to win any championship so far, from the challenge competition to the hope competition, all of them are like this. Even in the youth competition, he always meets more talented young people. A championship trophy is like a luxury, which cannot be touched no matter what.

Entering 2015, the state has experienced ups and downs, performances have been ups and downs, and even lost in the first round of the hopeful match. The best performance so far is a challenge in Seoul to break into the semi-finals, losing to the younger American player Taylor-Fritz (Taylor-Fritz), that's all.

dark.

At a loss.

Puzzled.

Jilong felt that he seemed to be trapped in a box, and any movement might hit a wall, so he was confined, bound and imprisoned.

He knows that this is a task he needs to face, but life... is really too difficult.

For a long time, Jilong tried to maintain a calm mind and not pay attention to Gao Wen—

Don't envy, don't be jealous, don't compare and don't be impatient.

"Everyone has their own pace, there is no need to compare, you should continue to follow your own rhythm and pace, and walk out of your own path."

Jilong told himself over and over again, but it was easy to think, but difficult to act.

Overwhelming, mighty, and everywhere, there is no doubt that Gao Wen is the focus of the entire tennis world at present, and his every move attracts countless eyes. The news, discussions, and topics are continuously blowing out, filling every corner of daily life.

Ji Long was happy for Gao Wen, sincerely—

In the Melbourne Park finals at the beginning of this year, Geelong watched the live broadcast of the game in front of the TV, worrying and nervous together, cheering and celebrating together. When Gao Wen fulfilled the match point, he did not hold back.

However, after the celebration, the emptiness, the disappointment, and the loneliness, swallowed him like a tide.

Although Jilong is very, very happy with Gawain's achievements, he knows that they are all worth it. His hard work, tenacity, and temperament have indeed brought a fresh storm to the ATP; but back to his own reality, that kind of gap can easily destroy the inner defense.

When Gao Wen's goal is to be number one in the world, he has to do his best for three or five points every week.

When Gao Wen beat Nadal on clay and Federer on grass, he had to go back to the Hope Match to find his touch.

Life is really too difficult.

For the hopefuls and challengers, there is no so-called clay court season or grass court season. Their season planning is mainly on hard courts. What they need to worry about is not switching channels but where to go to compete, how to plan travel expenses and accommodation, and how to arrange the schedule in the case of limited bonuses.

Perhaps, the prize money for one entry may only be one hundred and fifty dollars, but the air tickets and accommodation are more than that.

It is precisely because of this that players often like to concentrate on planning their competitions and minimize travel expenses instead of flying all over the world.

Recently, Jilong has been very difficult, very difficult, his state has fluctuated significantly, and his mentality is not stable. He stopped in the second round of two consecutive challenges.

Considering his own mentality and state, Giron had to return to the hope match, hoping to regain his confidence through some victories.

However, things didn't go as expected either.

When the mentality is fluctuating, I can't keep my focus. Some balls, no matter how I play, there is something wrong. I am obviously running on the court with all my strength, but I am like a walking dead.

Some points that should have been won are all lost, and some games that should have been won are also lost.

As a result, the points are gone, the bonuses are gone, and the confidence is gone along with it. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Even in the hope match, victory is still out of reach. Only three victories were won in the two-week event. Compared with the challenge period, there was no improvement but a further slide into the abyss.

What a disaster.

Total disaster.

And, there's no end in sight.

what to do?

What should be done - no answer.

Involuntarily and uncontrollably, Ji Long began to pay attention to Gao Wen's information—

In fact, in the recent period, Gao Wen's information has been extremely rare, abnormally rare.

Logically speaking, the U.S. Open series has already kicked off, with Atlanta in the first week and Washington in the second week, officially igniting the North American summer hard-court season.

Geelong also wants to participate in the competition, but the world rankings can't even enter the qualifying rounds; moreover, in his own state, participating is a waste of qualifications.

The point is, the fierce battle is in full swing from Atlanta to Washington, but there is no news about Gao Wen, isn't it strange?

Whether you lose or win, there should be some splashes after all.

After some searching, Ji Long realized that, like other top players, Gao Wen did not sign up for these two tournaments at all. Compared with quantity, he won with quality. He set his sights on the two masters in the North American summer hard-court season, preparing for the US Open through top-level duels between top players.

Is this the pattern?

He wanted to participate in the tournament that he couldn't even get a place in the qualifying competition, but those top players were not prepared to participate at all.

In just one year that they didn't realize, the gap between him and Gao Wen had been completely widened, as if separated by the Grand Canyon of Colorado.

chasm.

Is it sad, or bitter, or unwilling?

Difficult to tell.

Then, Geelong came to Toronto.
