Match point

The future is very long and far away, and there is really no need to rush it.

Sampras stared at Gawain quietly, looking at the face that was still young and childish - Asians in their eyes all have baby faces.

What's more, Gawain is indeed young, having just celebrated his 20th birthday today.

The impetuous and turbulent thoughts slowly settled down. Sampras' language organization ability was obviously better, and he was no longer impatient or panicked.

He said, "Gawain, do you still like playing tennis now? Are you still happy when you stand on the court?"

Gawain did not answer in a hurry, but calmed down and thought carefully for a long time before nodding, "Yes."

Simple and firm.

A smile appeared in Sampras's eyes, "Then that's enough. In tomorrow's game, don't think about the result or the world's number one. You just need to know that if you don't get the year-end number one in the world this year, you will still be the best in the future. There are 20 years to slowly chase..."

Gawain's eyes widened, "20 years? Isn't this a little too long?"

Sampras laughed out loud, "So, all you need to do is enjoy tomorrow's game. Losing is not the end of the world, and winning is not the highest peak. This is just one game in your long career in the future. It It’s important, but not that important.”

While others continue to add historical significance and weight to this game, Sampras continues to reduce pressure. He hopes that tennis can be simpler.

The truth is not difficult. Gao Wen has always said this. This has been the case since last year's upset victory at the US Open. However, this time the pressure is overwhelming, and even Gao Wen is inevitably a little shaken.

Gao Wen could understand Sampras's thoughts, and looked at the coach with a smile, "Yes, there will probably be more cases like this next year, and we need to warm up now."

next year?

Sampras was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted——

In the 2015 season, Gao Wen has indeed set an insurmountable peak, with two Grand Slams and four Masters. Regardless of tomorrow's game, it can be foreseen that the pressure to defend the title in the 2016 season should be even higher. Tonight is just a preview of next year.

Climbing to the top is difficult; staying at the top for a long time is even harder.

Sampras also noticed that Gao Wen's tone had returned to its usual relaxed tone, and he joked, "Why, your confidence is starting to drop now?"

Gawain waved his hand, "I have no confidence in losing."

Sampras burst out laughing.

Gao Wen said with a serious face, "I'm serious. There is still room for improvement on both clay and grass. The North American summer hard court season has not been completed yet. I think I still have room to grow."

Sampras nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, why not, let's determine our future goals now."

"In the 2017 season, we completed a complete winning season, a feat that Roger, Rafa and Novak have not accomplished. We did not lose a single game throughout the season."

"In the 2018 season, we will continue to challenge Roger's winning streak on grass, Rafa's winning streak on clay, and Novak's winning streak on hard courts."

blah blah blah——

The future is very long, very long. Although Gao Wen's 2015 season has been outstanding and can be called a peak, there are still countless challenges ahead.

Leaving aside the number of Grand Slam and Masters championships, there are still countless challenges waiting for you.

What's more, don't forget that the reason why the Big Four are the Big Four is because they continue to make progress and grow. This year's impact of Gao Wen has become a fact. Next, the Four Big Four will also show their special abilities. When they meet again next year, maybe The situation is completely different.

You chase each other and achieve each other's success. This is the greatness of the Big Four.

Now that the fifth giant has emerged, the four giants are once again facing new issues, and a new round of tests has quietly begun.

Just imagining it makes my blood boil.

Next year will be even more exciting than this year.

With this in mind, when I look back at tomorrow's game and think about the pressure at this moment, it seems that it is not worth mentioning - there is still another mountain high.

In the world of competitive sports, the real challenges come from opponents and themselves. Although the external pressure is layer upon layer and will continue to rise, the bustle will never stop; however, when they stand on the court, The challenges that belong to each other are the real protagonists.

Federer.Nadal.Djokovic.Murray.

They have proven themselves time and again in the past ten years, and this has led to the glory of an era.

And now, next to their names, another Gawain needs to be added.

Looking at Sampras who was chattering away completely, Gao Wen was dumbfounded, "Wait a minute, Pete, you're not going to write down all the records you haven't broken or the records you've broken in a small notebook, and just wait for me. Change your name again?"

Sampras was slightly startled, "Hey, is it so obvious?"

This answer... I didn't expect it either.

Gawain couldn't hold it back anymore and burst out laughing, "Pete, what's the deal with me and you? You shouldn't put your expectations on me."

Sampras looked disgusted, "If this can't be done, then what's going on with me following you all over the world? Andre probably is the same."

Snapped.

At this moment, there was a muffled sound from the door of the gym.

Gawain and Sampras both turned to look over, and then saw Agassi, who was rubbing his head in embarrassment.

Agassi was a little embarrassed and blinked, "Just... there was a... bee... yes, a bee..."

Gawain followed Agassiz's empty and messy hand and counted towards it.

Agassi cleared his throat, "I'm serious, bee, there was a bee just now. I, uh, I just... But now it seems like... it's okay, it's okay, it's okay."

Sampras looked disgusted, "Andre is worried about you too."

Gawain deliberately spread his hands in protest, "Am I so untrustworthy? It's a bit sad."

Agassi waved his hand quickly, "No, of course not."

However, before Agassi could continue his explanation, another figure appeared behind him.

Peart's expressionless face showed a little surprise, "You are all here, have you seen Gawain?"

Gawain raised his right hand, with a cute expression on his face, "Report, I'm here."

Pelt nodded gently and said, "It seems that you are doing well."

"Ah, why are you all coming to the gym in the middle of the night? I thought you were all tired of the gym." That voice belonged to Tobias, who also had insomnia.

Sampras complained directly, "John, you can't do it, you're too late."

With one sentence, everyone burst into laughter.

Pressure, obviously, doesn't go away that easily, it's there, it's always there, and it's part of competitive sports, but they have a choice -

Face it positively or face it negatively?
Standing at the crossroads of history, Gawain raised his head and looked at the storm with a smile, because he knew that he was not fighting alone.

In fact, it is true.

Mainland China, even the whole of Asia and the world, with the highest standard of treatment, all their eyes are focused on London's O2 Stadium.

They are waiting, waiting for a duel, waiting for a moment. No matter what the result is, this will be the moment when history is born.
