Who should fill Federer's vacancy?
Strictly speaking, this statement is not accurate, because Federer has not retired and he is still the highest-earning player in the entire professional tennis world.
The correct statement should be, who can become the next superstar? It is not just the performance on the field, but the commercial value in the global market.
IMG agency has set its sights on Gao Wen.
This is a natural and logical choice. From performance to market to topics, from playing style to personality to popularity, there is no doubt about it.
This time in Miami, IMG agency is preparing to "strongly promote" Gao Wen to further expand Gao Wen's mass base and initially establish a brand effect.
From another perspective, perhaps Federer's absence isn't so bad.
Soler had to slightly raise his chin to be able to see Gawain, but when he looked over, he could feel Gawain's polite gaze, like a spring breeze.
There is no sense of being condescending at all.
I have to say that the feeling of talking face to face is eye-opening. No wonder Gao Wen has won countless support among the fans.
"Relax, there's no need to be nervous."
Soler said with a smile.
"This is also half of your home court. You can enjoy the home court treatment. You can enjoy everything that Indian Wells has in Miami. You can also enjoy what Indian Wells doesn't have in Miami."
IMG Group is Gao Wen’s strong backing.
This year in Miami, the publicity that Gawain received was on par with Nadal, and even slightly above Djokovic and Murray.
Of course, the difference is not that big. Strictly speaking, outsiders can hardly feel the difference in treatment and can just regard Gawain as one of the Big Four.
However, subtle differences can still be seen within the event, and the related activities arranged around Gao Wen carefully demonstrate the superstar treatment.
The simplest and most intuitive thing is that Soller personally received Gawain and gave him the highest level of treatment, which also means that the other three giants did not receive such treatment.
but……
Tobias didn't buy it at all. He didn't even wait for Gawain to speak, but just interrupted him and complained, "You should be the one who's really nervous, right?"
Gao Wen had a smile in his eyes, and said just right, "So, this is the home treatment, the atmosphere of dad and mom arguing at home?"
"Of course not!"
"Who quarreled with him?"
Tobias and Soler both denied the statement in unison. The audio tracks overlapped and it was hard to tell who was saying what. The scene was a bit funny.
Tobias glared at Soler, then looked at Gawain speechlessly, "You bastard, you don't even consider the target of your prank!"
As a result, Gao Wen muttered silently, "I've found a partner."
Tobias: ...
Soler: ...
The two exchanged glances, and finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Soler looked at Tobias with some sympathy, "Young people nowadays are different. They are not afraid of the stage at all. We old guys are not like that."
Tobias shook his head and replied solemnly, "You can't. I'm fine. I've always been fine."
Soller was furious.
Tobias was very happy. Normally, he could not gain any advantage with words in front of Gawain, so much so that his sharpness had become dulled. Now in front of Soler, he regained the feeling that they were both small employees in the company. He felt very happy when he saw Soler being humiliated.
Soler ignored Tobias and turned to look at Gawain calmly. "He must have hit a wall frequently in front of you and never got any advantage, so he showed off in front of me, trying to prove his strength to you. Gawain, let me tell you, all old people are like this."
Tobias, with his back full of arrows, resembles a porcupine.
Gao Wen: It was very difficult to hold back my laughter.
Soler showed sympathy and patted Gawain on the shoulder. "Kid, you are only nineteen years old. Compared to your age, you have endured too much."
Gao Wen: Look up at the sky.
Fortunately, the destination is not far ahead.
The "Sunshine Double Crown" has its own merits——
The main purpose of Indian Wells is to vacation, to spend a short vacation in the desert away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Miami’s main focus is entertainment. It’s a grand carnival on the island with everything from eating, drinking and having fun.
Naturally, the two events have unique characteristics.
Surrounded by green trees, beaches, oceans and blue skies, the Clanton Park Tennis Center is a grand carnival party. From a distance, you can see a variety of entertainment projects such as the Ferris wheel, canoes, jet skis, etc.; when you actually enter the park, you can see a variety of food, toys, and landscapes displayed, guiding the fans all the way to the tennis courts.
Looking around, lush forests and blue seas fill your eyes, and colorful colors bloom proudly among the green and blue.
At the same time, the city is deeply influenced by Latin America and the Caribbean. Lazy and dynamic reggae music fills the air, sizzling tomahawk steaks deliver charming food aromas, and you may inadvertently catch the passionate dancing bikini girls passing by in the corner of your eye.

Dazzling.
Overwhelmed.
The vision, hearing, smell and taste are fully opened, and it is a completely different scene from Indian Wells.
Being in it, every cell in your body opens up, breathing in the carnival atmosphere that permeates the air, and you can't help but dance along.
Then, Gawain and his party arrived at their destination safely.
A small garden.
Today, Gao Wen is about to meet with the children here and contribute to the "Children's Tennis Day" of the Miami Masters.
The Nick Bollettieri Tennis School, currently the largest tennis academy in the world, is headquartered in Florida. The school has now become a member of the IMG Academy, and the annual Miami Masters becomes an important platform for enlightening young people's interest in tennis.
"Children's Tennis Day" was born in this way. Top players came to interact with the children, not only signing autographs and taking photos, but also playing tennis together, talking together, and sharing short moments of joy together, planting a seed of tennis in these children's young hearts.
The interaction is far more than just one event.
Depending on the specific circumstances of the event each year, four to six games are often arranged, and there is more than one player participating in each game, as many as six or eight, or as few as two or four. In addition to the children, their parents can also chase stars and join in the carnival.
After turning a corner, a small garden hidden behind the trees came into view, and the surging crowd inside and outside instantly filled the entire view.
"ah!"
“Ahhhh!”
Cheers and screams resounded through the sky. From children to adults, everyone could not control their emotions. They all lost themselves in the most enthusiastic and crazy way to welcome Gawain's arrival.
In an instant, Gao Wen felt like Donald Duck or Iron Man, appearing in the parade and dance at Disneyland like a mascot.
Everyone couldn't wait to raise their arms and try to high-five Gawain to celebrate. They lined up one by one in an orderly manner, and it was very lively.
Then——
"ah!"
Screams and roars once again burst out with amazing energy, because Gawain's partner has also arrived at the scene:
Maria Sharapova.
