God rewards hard work.

Everyone likes this sentence, but only when you have really experienced it can you understand how heavy the sweat, tears and blood behind this sentence are.

Wawrinka, when he was 28 years old and 10 months old, won the first Grand Slam championship in his career, which caused exclamation all over the world, but before that, he experienced a full decade of dormancy and struggle. Vicissitudes.

Before defeating Federer in the 2014 Monte Carlo final, Wawrinka had a career record of 13 wins and one loss against his fellow countryman, including a long 11-game losing streak.

Before defeating Djokovic in the quarter-finals of the 2014 Australian Open, Wawrinka suffered a nightmare of 14 consecutive losses against the King of Serbia.

Similarly, when facing Nadal in the 2014 Australian Open final, Wawrinka had a record of 12 losses and zero wins. He has never been able to defeat the Spanish king in his career.

Look, this is the price of "God rewards hard work".

In real life, how many people can still raise their heads, muster up the courage, and launch continuous attacks on the indomitable giant after suffering ten consecutive losses? How many people can still cheer up after repeated defeats, and firmly believe that they can defeat powerful opponents after all?

In fact, more than a ten-game losing streak? In front of the Big Four, the "Twenty Defeat Club" has already gathered a large number of top experts:

Ferrer, Robredo, Berdych, Roddick, Davydenko, Hewitt and so on and so forth.

It is precisely because of this that some people say that this is the best of times and the worst of times. People have witnessed the glory of the four giants working together to shine in the professional tennis world. The "Best Player Who Didn't Win a Grand Slam" poll was born.

Failure is never that easy.

However, among the members of the "Ten Lost Consecutive Club" and "Twenty Defeat Club", only Wawrinka has done it. It has earned its own place in the bright and glorious era.

Moreover, according to the historical trajectory, Wawrinka has more than one Grand Slam champion.

Perhaps, Wawrinka will never be able to reach the height of the Big Four, but he still won a place among fans with his smooth offense and amazing SLR. In the annals of history, he also deserves his own name.

So, says Wawrinka,

"Actually, losing is a good thing."

Some people are devastated after failure, or they are deeply branded by failure, or they lose the fighting spirit to win because they have become a habit of losing.

But there are a small number of people who are not—

"Stan, come on!"

Looking at Gawain whose eyes brightened again, Wawrinka was a little cautious, he was still not good at these things.

In fact, just when he spoke, Wawrinka regretted it. If it was other young people, he might dismiss it at all, or dislike him for being nosy:

After all, this guy is also a Grand Slam champion. Not only has he beaten him in New York, but he has also beaten Djokovic twice in a row.

Normally, Wawrinka would never talk to each other.

But today is an exception.

Seeing Gao Wen in the locker room, feeling his frustration and loss, an idea popped up in his mind, and then he blurted it out without much thought.

Perhaps, deep in his heart, he left a good impression on Gao Wen, whether it was the confrontation in Flushing or the subsequent meetings in different cities.

It now appears that his hunch was correct.

Wawrinka smiled at Gawain, but did not stay for long, then turned to face the locker again, and made a self-deprecating joke,

"You should wish me luck, because I do need a little luck."

After Monte Carlo, at Wimbledon, Wawrinka met Federer again in the quarter-finals. As a result, he lost in four sets, and his overall career record is still far behind.

Moreover, the first half of the season seemed to consume Wawrinka's accumulated energy for many years, so that in the second half of the season, the overall performance fell sharply, including the performance of the Masters and the year-end finals. Many dissatisfaction.

Luck is also part of the game, and sometimes players do need a little bit of luck to turn things around.

Gao Wen stood up with a smile on his face, walked to the locker, and started packing his equipment.

"Obviously, Lady Luck wasn't on my side today, but I'm still praying sincerely that she'll kiss your racket."

Responding to self-deprecation with a joke, Wawrinka seemed to like it very much, and laughed directly and freely.

By the time Sampras and the others arrived in the locker room, Wawrinka had already left and went to the gym to start warming up. Gawain had also packed up and was ready to leave with his equipment bag on his back.

Sampras, Pelt, Tobias, Russell, and Dimitrov all came together, but the group of five people did not smile at all. The atmosphere was dull and serious, and one could clearly feel that The depression is bound under the calm, the dark tide is raging, and the air also becomes dignified.

Sampras scrutinized Gawain's expression and demeanor, hesitated for a moment, "Gao Wen, are you okay?"

"No, I'm not good." Gao Wen met the coach's gaze calmly without any hesitation.

Sampras: …

His words froze slightly, unable to keep up with Gao Wen's thinking speed.

They have long been accustomed to Gao Wen's daily work style, mature, calm, unhurried, calm, with firm goals and solid beliefs~lightnovelpub.net~ They have never wavered, and even when they suffered their first defeat in the season, they were worried. The thing did not appear.

until now.

In fact, they hope that Gao Wen can vent and release it, just like a 19-year-old boy, because professional tennis is different from other games. No one can remain undefeated in a season with at least 50 games and at most 80 games. Meaning, failure is a part of life.

Those bitterness, anger, and disappointment are accumulated in the bottom of my heart, and they will rot.

Now, Gao Wen finally spoke out as expected, which is a good thing.

But because it was too unexpected, Sampras couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and couldn't speak for a while.

Gao Wen didn't mind, and continued talking.

"I know that we should watch the game video and analyze and summarize the gains and losses of this game."

"I also know that we still have a lot of work to do in the next offseason. The season is over, but it also means the beginning of a brand new season."

"However, today I don't want to think about these things for a while, I want to take a break."

In the locker room, there was silence, and no one spoke.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, as if the air was gradually stagnant, and a serious atmosphere spread.

Pooh.

Then, a chuckle broke the calm.

After all, Sampras couldn't hold back, his brows were brimming with joy, and his serious expression was completely relaxed, "Okay, Gawain, that's really great!"

The entire dull atmosphere was broken in an instant.

Gao Wen: ...with black lines all over his head, "Coach, are you sure? I said I want to rest, and then you clapped your hands? Is this scene not right?"
