Chapter 990: so-called friends

Bathed in the golden sunlight, Dimitrov's eyes were filled with sadness and bitterness, and the slight sense of loss made the air quiet.

"...sorry man, I don't know where to go, I have a game next week, but I don't feel like training at all, my head is full of messy thoughts, I feel like I can't breathe, I feel like I'm going to explode .”

"Thinking of you being here, I flew over directly."

"Sorry, I didn't tell you in advance, I disrupted your training plan, you must have your own plan, but..."

There was a lot of chatter, incoherent and confused, so that even Dimitrov probably didn't know what he was talking about.

In the end, Gawain raised his hand to stop Dimitrov, and smiled at his friend.

"Grigor, there is no need to apologize."

"Let me tell you, what are friends used for? They are used to shirk responsibility and vent emotions at critical moments, and then throw them away after using them."

Gawain's understatement made Dimitrov dumbfounded, an indescribable absurdity and humor were revealed between the lines.

The corners of the mouth relax a little and rise a little.

"Thank you." Dimitrov said, thousands of words gathered in the end, and only this sentence remained.

In fact, Gao Wen didn't want to say anything more, after all, as an outsider, it's really not easy for him to intervene in the affairs between the couple, but after thinking about it seriously, he still said it from the bottom of his heart.

"Grigor, we are all professional players, and we all have the same experiences and experiences about each other's work, life pressure, etc."

"I haven't known you for a long time, and I haven't experienced the time when you and Maria established a relationship, but as a bystander, I can also feel that whether you or Maria, you have always been under the pressure of the outside world. "

"That's why, at Wimbledon last year, you finally had a breakthrough in your career and people seemed to finally be taking your relationship seriously."

Gao Pan, this matter has always existed objectively in any industry, any field, and any country.

Look at the Big Four —

Or, like Nadal and Djokovic, socialize with people outside of tennis.

Or, like Federer and Murray, interacting with professional players, but the gap between the other half is completely widened, so that there is no comparison, and then their other half even quit their careers altogether, left the game, and switched tracks.

Otherwise, the criticism from the media and the comments from the fans will never calm down, and the pressure will always exist.

Verdasco and Ivanovic, Wawrinka and Vekic, Hewitt and Clijsters, Tim and Kristina Mladenovic (kristina-), Kyrgios and Tomjanovich blah blah blah.

All of them are like this. The above-mentioned couples all ended up breaking up in the end.

Of course, there are many reasons for couples to separate, and there may be many, many reasons, but for professional tennis players, the game and life are inseparable, and the pressure brought by the performance on the field is always objective.

Including Dimitrov is no exception—

Sharapova is currently the second in the wta world and the most profitable money-sucking machine in women's tennis in the past ten years. How could Dimitrov not feel the pressure? Similarly, for Sharapova herself, she is surrounded by pressure all the time, which has become a part of life.

"The media, always."

"Any slight disturbance or ups and downs in the game will be connected to your relationship regardless."

"But heck, what's going on with our game, don't they know better than we do?"

In the end, Gawain still couldn't hold back, and cursed a curse, which made Dimitrov chuckle directly.

"I mean, aside from the Australian Open, the pressure the media puts on you, the pressure you put on yourself, always plays a big role."

"Perhaps, the confession you said and what Maria said are all emotional catharsis that broke through your reason when you were in a low state."

Dimitrov was about to refute, but Gawain raised his hand to stop him, and continued.

"I mean, how much of it is real, how much is impulsive, and how much is the deepest thought in your heart, you yourself can't tell for the time being."

"Communication is imperative, but calm down, sort out your thoughts, and then communicate, often can get twice the result with half the effort."

Letting out a breath, Gawain smiled at Dimitrov.

"Grigor, in the final analysis, you still want to be able to show results on the field, don't you?"

"Otherwise, you won't be in a downturn after the Australian Open. High expectations mean great disappointment."

It's true that tennis isn't everything in life—

At least, winning shouldn't be everything in life.

But the relationship between Dimitrov and Sharapova, two of the top public figures in professional tennis, cannot escape these influences.

The performance on the field is an important basis for establishing a stable relationship between two people. Otherwise, it may be difficult to stop those scourge-like media just by relying on strong affection to maintain the relationship.

Dimitrov lowered his head slightly, as if lost in thought, then turned his head slightly, glanced at Gawain out of the corner of his eye, and said with a half-smile.

"I thought you were my friend and you should defend me unconditionally."

"I said, I hope to communicate well, but Maria obviously doesn't want to, so she just turned her back on me, shouldn't you follow me and curse her hard?"

"Why do I feel as if you're defending Maria?"

Gao Wen's face was full of grievances~lightnovelpub.net~Brother, I want to say 'there is no grass anywhere in the world', there is no need to give up the whole forest just because of one tree. "

"But the problem is, I said bad things about Maria here, and then turned around, and you and Maria reconciled. Then what will I become?"

Gawain spread out his hands, raised his shoulders, his eyes were full of innocence, and he made excuses, which made Dimitrov unable to hold back any longer.

Flutter.

Dimitrov raised his head to look at Gawain again, and the absurd joy became more and more violent, and then he couldn't hold back anymore, and laughed out loud.

"Haha. Hahaha."

Laughing out loud, the mixed emotions accumulated in his chest were vented out together, and even his eyes brightened.

"Thanks."

Dimitrov said sincerely, if it was someone else, they probably wouldn't know how to deal with such a situation, but Gawain handled it very lightly and skillfully, and his whole body became light.

Sure enough, Gao Wen was Gao Wen, it seemed that any difficult problem in his hands would become simpler and turn the rotten into a miracle.

Gawain didn't say much, just raised the mineral water bottle in his hand, made a gesture of toasting, and then under Dimitrov's astonished gaze:

A mouthful of boredom.

Even though it was mineral water, it looked like it was blowing a bottle of white wine. After drinking it down, a sigh came from deep in his throat.

Dimitrov was stunned for a moment, and finally came to his senses after a while. He couldn't hold back anymore, and burst out laughing.
