Tim was a little reserved and a little embarrassed—

He is still not good at such things, and has no idea whether it is the right time to speak at this time. Maybe it would be more natural to change the place and time, but the point is exactly here. If not now, he is not sure when to speak. correct.

However…

Even if he spoke now, Tim still hadn't thought about how to speak. Just imagining it in his mind made his stomach start to burn.

To be honest, Tim felt a little embarrassed. He had already started to sweat before he opened his mouth. There was sweat on his back. He was sweating profusely just after training, so he didn't expose himself, but his expression was still unnatural.

However, there is no turning back when you draw your bow. You have to speak in the end anyway. To extend your head is to draw your head back, so it is better to just close your eyes and speak.

Ahem.

Tim cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment, and then—

"I just want to ask, have your upcoming schedule been determined? If not, maybe you can consider visiting Vienna."

After saying it in one breath, Tim held his breath, and then immediately panicked and added another sentence.

"But if you have already made arrangements, then there is no need to think too much. I am just asking, just asking, don't take it to heart."

Tim wanted to die.

This scene fell into Gawain's eyes. He didn't say anything and the store didn't react. As a result, Tim had already gone back and forth between heaven and **** several times.

Sure enough, Tim is an honest man.

The smile on Gawain's lips rose slightly.

“Did the race director in Vienna call you?”

To the point -

Tim's expression froze slightly, but then he took a long breath and relaxed, nodding, "Yes, they asked me to ask you..."

"Just asking?" Gawain's final voice rose slightly.

Tim,..."Actually, they hope that I can warmly invite you, but you have your own schedule, and of course you can't adjust it casually. God, I feel like I'm taking advantage of you just by asking. I, I don't I like this feeling.”

"Domi, don't worry, I don't mind." Gawain comforted with a smile on his face.

Tim looked at Gawain blankly, not knowing how to express himself.

Gawain shrugged, "Friends need to use each other...oh, no, help each other."

Tim looked helpless, "Man..."

Gawain laughed out loud, "We all hope that interpersonal relationships can remain pure. Once interests are mixed, it may slowly begin to change. Not to mention friendship, family affection and love cannot withstand the test, but in real life , is purely a relative existence.”

"Domi, you just asked. I'm not going to agree anyway. There's no need for you to feel too guilty."

Despite teasing and complaining, Tim didn't hold back, he regained his smile, and his tight shoulder lines finally relaxed.

In the tennis tour, except for the four Grand Slams, all events are subject to box office pressure, including the Masters. Naturally, the stronger the participating lineup, the more guaranteed the box office is, and the event can form a virtuous cycle.

Not to mention those five-hundred-point and two-hundred-fifty-point competitions. They are under tremendous pressure and have to invite top players to participate in different ways.

Many competitions have set their sights on promising new stars who have just entered professional competitions, and require the other party to sign a long-term competition agreement in exchange for a wild card, such as a wild card in exchange for continuous participation in the next six years, something like Situations abound on tour.

If this method doesn't work, a wealthy event like the one in the Middle East will do. A check for appearance fees of US$500,000 or even US$1 million can invite the Big Four to visit, which can easily ignite topics and focus.

Of course, not just any player can be called "box office appeal."

Generally speaking, there are two types of players on the tour. One is the top 30 players in the world, whose participation itself means attention; the other is the topical players, such as those who have just been defeated in a Grand Slam upset. The Big Four will become the favorites of the 250-point tournament with just one turn.

In addition, there are two special cases -

One is the local superstar. The world's highest-ranked player from his country is not only a thrill for the audience, but also an inspiration for young players.

One is a world superstar. Such as Federer and Nadal; such as Serena Williams and Sharapova. Now, Gawain has officially joined such ranks.

In fact, after the US Open, Gao Wen's next schedule will be the focus.

The reason is very intuitive -

The battle for No. 1 in the world.

Gao Wen needs to participate and score points, otherwise the battle for the world's No. 1 ranking will not happen at all. Naturally, every race of Gao Wen's events will be the focus. Does it overlap with the other four giants, or is it staggered from each other? Do you compete frequently, or do you control the quality?

At the same time, the hot discussion on the Internet about "constant fighting" has also made Gao Wen's market appeal soar. Putting aside the topicality and popularity for the time being, the freshness is off the charts, which is an advantage that no other player can match.

so.

In addition to the two events in China that are already confirmed, in which other weeks will Gao Wen choose to participate? If you choose to participate, there are often two or even three events in the same week. Which one should you choose?

While Gawain was still busy in New York, the calls and emails between major events and Tobias were already busy, and the focus was gathering.

For the tournament, they want to be a hot spot; moreover, they also want to sign a long-term contract.

Basel is a classic case.

Thanks to the existence of Federer and Wawrinka, Basel already has a guaranteed box office, but the Basel tournament director convinced Nadal through Federer's relationship that there is no need to worry about the box office attendance of the event, even if it is just a 500-point event. Always able to create topics.

Now, there are also competitions that hope to sign a long-term appearance contract with Gao Wen, not just one or two -

To a certain extent, the situation of the event organizing committee is somewhat similar to that of major brands last year.

Gawain's rise was really too fast~lightnovelpub.net~ and caught them off guard. Before they had time to observe and judge, and there was no newcomer welfare period, Gawain took a small rocket and rocketed all the way, or made a decisive decision to take the lead. , or completely lose the initiative and become an ant on the hot pot.

From last year's US Open to this year's US Open, it has only been one year. All major tournaments are trying to figure out Gao Wen's box office appeal, and they are also exploring Gao Wen's schedule. They haven't had time to figure out a reason, the "fifth giant." It has already resounded throughout the Internet, and the tournament organizing committee was instantly passive.

what to do?

If they want to persuade Gawain to participate in their competition, the difficulty will rise sharply, and all kinds of martial arts will be used.

Like Basel, Vienna also used its trump card, hoping to use Tim to persuade Gawain to come to participate and seize the opportunity in this "Gawain Battle".

But apparently the Vienna tournament director should have overlooked one thing: Thiem is not Federer.
