Latest URL: "John..."

There was a call from behind, Tobias stopped, and when he turned his head, he could see the familiar figure of David Harnett.

"I'll **** you for a ride."

Harnett raised his voice, and then quickly caught up with Tobias, and then the two walked side by side to the elevator.

The two are old acquaintances, and they have a good relationship in private. Tobias didn't have any scruples, and made a half-joking complaint.

"Why, send you out to stop the loss?"

Harnett laughed directly, "How can it be said that it is a stop loss, it should be to maintain a friendly relationship."

Tobias glanced at Harnett, "Are you speaking from the standpoint of Adidas now, or as my friend?"

"Isn't it the same?"

"Ah, I see, it's still Adidas' position."

"John..."

Looking at the helpless Harnett, Tobias still laughed and didn't embarrass his friend anymore.

"If the cooperation fails, we will still be friends. I understand the truth. Don't worry, how could I offend Adidas? I'm not a fool. I'm not ready to change careers yet."

A joke made the two of them look at each other and smile. Although the negotiation just now did not come to a result, it did not hinder the friendship between the two good friends.

Ding.

The elevator came, and the two walked into the elevator. Harnett took the initiative to press the button for the parking lot on the third floor underground, and waited for the elevator door to close slowly before he said, "I know you must have a lot of question marks now..."

"But there are no answers to these question marks, so don't worry, I won't ask." Tobias complained calmly.

Harnett laughed twice, and then said half chatting half explaining.

"John, you should know that the championship of the challenge is worthless, right?"

"If it's the gold match or the championship match, then the value will definitely be different, but the champion of the challenge match is basically the same as the winner of the hope match, and no one will care."

The truth, how could Tobias not understand?

The champion of the challenge is indeed not enough, the main reason is that the contestants of the challenge are relatively special—

Either it is a young player who needs to be honed, their performance is unstable, and the ups and downs of the state are particularly intense.

Either it is a professional player who needs to find the touch after returning from injury. They often use the challenge match as a warm-up match or practice match to find the touch, and they don't try their best.

Otherwise, professional players with limited talent and strength will give up chasing higher goals and just use the challenge as a means of punching in the office to make money. The game is just a job to make ends meet, and they will not really try their best.

It is precisely because of this that the gold content of the challenge champion is questioned.

In the long history, countless challenger champions have almost no performance in the higher-level professional arena; and now the top players in the professional arena often never participate in the challenger or have no challenger champions at all, such as the Big Four That's all.

Strictly speaking, players who can really stay in the top 50 in the world for a long time often don't have many challenger titles to their names.

Because the young players with strength, after a little roll and experience in the Challenger League, will directly enter the higher-level gold match or championship match, starting from the qualifying match-

Just look at Zverev Jr. in Germany, relying on the care of the Tennis Association to directly get wild cards to participate in the championship and gold tournaments; participating in the Binghamton Challenge is to prepare for the North American season, and then did not participate in Lexington Dayton Challenge, directly participating in the qualifying round of the North American Series.

These are objective facts.

But Harnett's starting point itself is wrong. If it is an ordinary player, then Harnett's point of view is correct, but Gao Wen is a Chinese player, so the historical significance of the Challenger Championship is different. It is light, and it has finally created history, and it has different meanings for the Chinese market.

Harnett's words were actually just making excuses.

Tobias didn't intend to expose Harnett, so he said something lightly.

"By the time we win the gold game or the championship game, the decision will be out of your hands."

If Gao Wen wins a gold championship now, I am afraid that all the top brands including Nike, Crocodile, and Fila will flock to him. When the time comes to choose who to sign with, the decision will be in Gao Wen's hands, and it depends Adidas may not necessarily be able to take advantage of competitors' bids.

This is also an objective fact.

Tobias' snake hit seven inches, and with a single sentence, it stabbed Harnett's weakness.

Harnett shook his head helplessly, paused for a moment, watched the elevator descending slowly, and finally told the truth.

"Do you think we haven't paid attention to Gao?"

"Not only are we watching him, Nike is watching him, we all know that."

The truth was revealed in just two sentences, and now Tobias became serious, because he knew that Harnett was finally willing to tell the truth.

"When we were in Athens, we were paying attention to him. The NCAA field has always been the focus, and there is a detailed scouting report."

"In the eyes of scouts, he has excellent golf intelligence, delicate touch, sharp tactics, good at grasping the context of the game, and has natural competitive ability."

Very, very good scouting evaluation, but there is often a turning point later, that is the point, Tobias did not express his opinion in a hurry.

"However, with a thin body and lack of strength, he should be able to grow into a golfer-type technical player in the future and achieve good results at the challenge level."

Harnett's words stopped short and did not continue, but the subtext was already obvious. Competitions above the challenge level may face many difficulties.

I see!

Tobias immediately understood that the key lies in the "technical players".

As mentioned before, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com Racket technology continues to improve, players' power can be more fully and completely transmitted to the tennis ball through the racket, so the entire tennis world is gradually changing, power occupies an increasing proportion, and the lightness and agility of technology is gradually being replaced. Compress living space.

In the 1980s and 1990s, the technical style of play represented by Martina-hingis was really pleasing to the eye, and the whole style of play was very diverse, with many tactical routines. Sticking to the bottom line, the light and agile hitting is very interesting.

However, at the turn of the century, a powerful style of play represented by Serena Williams was born, suppressing technical players in an unreasonable way. Force down the Ten Clubs", the entire tennis world has changed its dynasties.

Hingis was forced to retire for the first time in 2002, just five years after entering professional tennis.

Times have changed, tennis has developed to the present, women's tennis can still see technical players like Radwanska active, enriching different styles of play, but it is difficult to find living space in men's tennis.
