Chapter 1137:

See you next time Zverev didn’t want to see Gawain’s face, not even for a second, and even felt that eye contact was a waste.

What about a handshake? Just the thought in his mind that he needed to shake hands with Gawain, congratulate him on his victory, show respect, and observe etiquette, and his stomach began to burn.

He could imagine Gawain's arrogance, his superiority, his condescending attitude, his gloating over other people's misfortunes. He looked at him as if he were a poor creature. Whether he was mocking or attacking, his words and eyes revealed a kind of pity. He didn't even need to use full force to destroy his pride.

His embarrassment, his shame, and his embarrassment are thus firmly recorded in ATP history.

Ah! Ah! Zverev's chest was about to explode, but he couldn't show it now. Any trace would become a weapon for others to attack him.

Quick victory.

That was the only thought in Zverev's mind.

Raise your hand.

Touch.

Withdraw.

Zverev was like facing a patient with an infectious disease. As soon as his palm touched Gawain's friendly right hand, he was ready to pull it away.

but!

An unexpected event occurred.

Snap! Zverev was about to pull his right hand away, but it was firmly grasped. He was stunned.

Because it was so unexpected and so sudden, I couldn't react. I raised my head suddenly and saw Gawain's eyes.

Gao Wen held Zverev's right hand tightly, then adjusted it slightly and completed the handshake with the correct posture, showing politeness and respect.

At the same time, Gao Wen opened his eyes wide and looked at Zverev with sincerity, as if a kindergarten teacher was teaching children the correct way to shake hands: shake your hands, once, twice.

Hold it tightly.

Also, eye contact. You need to look the other person in the eye. Maybe there is no need to speak, but eye contact is very important. This is etiquette.

Do you understand?

Gao Wen taught Zverev the correct way to shake hands after the match, then raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in a very patient and friendly way:

Little Sasha, have you learned it now?

Zverev: …

Gao Wen didn't get any response, but he didn't mind. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a bright smile, and he spoke first.

“Keep up the good work next time.”

Zverev: …

But Gawain didn't wait for Zverev to respond and shook his hand again, exerting a little force on his palm to express the handshake through strength.

Release, turn around, and take a step.

Gao Wen walked towards the referee, smiled, shook hands after the game, expressed his gratitude, and then went straight to his own player's rest area.

Zverev was left alone, disheveled in the wind.

How...what happened?

Zverev kept his right hand suspended in the air, his eyes full of question marks. He looked left and right like a fool, and his brain seemed to have lost the ability to process information.

It took two full beats for Zverev's brain to start working again. He couldn't believe what had just happened and stared down at his own hands in a daze.

So, what did Gawain just do?

The anger and frustration finally erupted.

Zverev looked up at the referee, his eyes wide open, "Did you see that? Did you see what the hell he just did? Why didn't you stop him?"

This happened right under the referee's nose, how could he not see it?

But the problem is——

Did Gawain do something wrong?

No.

Not at all.

To be precise, Gawain completed the post-match etiquette of a gentleman and taught the correct etiquette to Zverev Jr., which is worthy of recognition.

Moreover, Gao Wen kept smiling the whole time, did not swear, and did not use any provocative language. Everything he did was up to standard and he even deserves applause and encouragement.

Of course, the referee also understood Zverev's reaction, because Gawain's actions and words were really... too unexpected.

The referee restrained the corner of his mouth that was about to rise, looked at Zverev, and nodded seriously in an affirmative answer.

"Yes, I saw that, but Mr. Gawain didn't break any rules..."

“Shit.”

The referee was interrupted by Zverev before he could finish his words. His anger could no longer be suppressed and erupted like a volcano.

“You’re blah blah…”, “This XXX is a joke…”

Full of foul language.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Tennis is a gentleman's sport. According to tournament rules, if a player swears during a game, the referee has the right to give a warning.

However, times are progressing, and referees generally turn a blind eye when they hear swearing. As long as the players do not directly curse at the referee, the audience or the opponents, and do not cause a conflict, they will not enforce this rule so strictly.

After all, players are also ordinary people. They can get angry, frustrated, annoyed, and vent.

but!

If a player speaks rudely directly to the referee, it is tantamount to challenging the referee's authority, which is another matter.

A second ago, there was a faint smile in the referee's eyes, and he was in a good mood because of Gao Wen's actions.

The next second, the referee's face became gloomy and his expression became completely gloomy.

"Mr. Zverev, now that the match is over, I will not give you a warning, but I will record your behavior and report it to the ATP. Please pay attention to your words and deeds..."

Before he could finish his words, Zverev interrupted him again.

"Grass!"

“Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!”

The emotions that had been suppressed and controlled again and again throughout the game finally broke out.

Boo! There was a lot of booing going on at the scene.

In fact, many viewers saw the scene just now, and they laughed continuously at Gao Wen’s expression as if he was educating kindergarten children.

Now seeing Zverev swearing to express his dissatisfaction and even making things difficult for the referee, such behavior immediately caused ridicule and complaints from the audience -

Little boy, you can’t afford to lose, right?

Zverev looked at the overwhelming boos in front of him, and he couldn't understand why everyone was attacking him? It was obviously Gao Wen who did something wrong!

Originally, after the game, it should have been an occasion for Gawain to celebrate his victory, but Zverev found a way to make him the focus and snatch away the halo of the winner.

This can also be considered a kind of ability...right?

After the game, ATP issued a fine immediately.

Although Zverev's behavior did not escalate to physical conflict and the incident happened after the game and was less serious than expected, the ATP still fined Zverev two thousand dollars on the grounds of "lack of competitive sportsmanship" and gave Zverev a warning that the punishment would be doubled if he committed the same offense again.

Such a trend is really unexpected.

No one expected that the match itself was lackluster, Gawain swept the opponent, once won ten games in a row, was far ahead, and completely destroyed Zverev; but after the match, there were many explosive points, and the good show began after the end of the game -

The easter eggs are more exciting than the main film.

And, this is still not all.

At the post-match press conference, both Zverev and Gao Wen were besieged by reporters. However, what no one expected was that there was a follow-up in the locker room!
