Chapter 1166: Mutual Surprises
Gao Wen, dumbfounded: ...
I never expected that when I arrived in Mallorca, the welcome waiting for me would be such a grand party and I could feel the enthusiasm from the bottom of my heart.
It was probably the same when I arrived in the capital and the Magic City last year, but that time I was going home, and this time I was visiting, so the feeling was a little different.
Gawain's reaction rarely failed. He looked at Nadal with both emotion and panic, expressing his surprise with his eyes, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
No words are needed, the vivid expression is enough to explain everything. Nadal looked at Gawain with a full smile. At this moment, you can see a side of Nadal that he rarely shows in private. There was a mischievous light flashing in the depths of his eyes, as if he had thought of a great idea.
Nadal put the cards in his hand down, then raised his hands high, clapped his hands above his head and cheered, inciting the crowd to show more enthusiasm.
Ahhhh…
Ahhhh.
Ahhh! One step, then another, climbing higher and higher.
With cheers, roars, and even uniform high-fives, the airport suddenly turned into the Bernabeu Stadium, as if a national derby was taking place. Fanatical fans were releasing their passion at the top of their lungs, and the overwhelming sound drowned out the entire stadium, turning it into an active volcano.
Obviously, this kind of Nadal is not common in normal times, but he can deeply feel the joy and enthusiasm emanating from the Spanish bull from the inside out.
Sampras and Agassi exchanged glances, unable to conceal their surprise.
Originally, they were planning to go to Paris for training.
Mouratoglou Tennis School is a good choice. Dimitrov has already arrived there to prepare for the clay court competition. Serena Williams' current coach Mouratoglou will obviously welcome Gao Wen's arrival with open arms. The transportation from Paris to Monte Carlo is also a big advantage.
However, before Tobias contacted Mouratoglou, Toni Nadal had already taken the lead, and they really had no reason to refuse.
Now it seems that Mallorca is indeed a wise choice, and not just because of Rafael Nadal.
Soon after, the fans at the scene noticed the figures of coach Gao Wen’s team.
Sampras, no surprise at all.
Agassi, a small surprise but not a big surprise.
Graf? Wait, what? Following Gawain, the residents and fans of Mallorca were also shocked and surprised, and one by one they showed their crazy joy.
Of course, Mallorca is still a part of Spain, and football is still the island's favorite, which is irreplaceable; but because of Nadal, tennis also occupies a vital position on this island, so that the islanders have different feelings towards tennis.
Over time, they not only know the top players such as Federer, Djokovic, Murray and so on who were active and competed with Nadal in the same era; at the same time, those shining names in history have gradually appeared in their field of vision, such as Kuerten, Hingis, Clijsters, Henin, Safin, Kafelnikov, Roddick and so on.
Of course, Sampras, Agassi and Graf, who dominated the professional tennis world in the 1990s and wrote countless historical records, are no exception.
It is a bit regrettable that these names are already very distant to the new generation, because they have all stayed away from the camera and even rarely participate in charity activities. After leaving the professional tennis world and entering the second stage of their lives, tennis is no longer the focus of their lives.
This is even more true for island residents.
Some people live in Mallorca all their lives, never leaving the island, and the outside world only stays on the TV and computer screens.
However! Today, they saw Gao Wen, Sampras and Agassi, and also saw Graf who disappeared from the public eye for a long time!
Especially since Agassi and Graf and his wife arrived in Mallorca with Gawain, what does this mean? The brains of these residents and fans have been frozen, and they have completely lost the ability to think.
But does “purpose” matter?
No, it doesn't matter.
What really mattered was that they did see Agassi and Graf, two legendary stars who were about to spend some time together in Mallorca.
That's enough.
“Ahhhh!”
The screams unexpectedly reached a whole new level, and some people even began to stomp their feet, using this method to express the turmoil in their hearts.
Sampras was a little depressed, looking at Agassi with a sad face, protesting with his eyes.
"You have no moral integrity. You brought the killer Graf here and stole all the cheers."
Agassi ignored Sampras, moved a little closer to his wife, smiled, and nodded to the fans along with Graf.
Sampras: ...can he swear?
At this time, Nadal also noticed the figures of Agassi and Graf.
What's going on?
Although the media had already noticed the two legendary players appearing in the Gowon player box at Melbourne Park, according to reports:
Agassi is only responsible for daily training and will not accompany Koeman on his global tour. As for the Grand Slam, it depends on his own schedule.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Of course, Indian Wells and Miami are exceptions, as they are located in the North American continent, and Indian Wells is considered half a home court. But even so, Graf did not show up. Only Agassi went to watch the game and witnessed Gowan win the Sunshine Double.
However, now?
Here, Gawain was surprised at the special treatment.
On the other side, Nadal surprised his entourage.
As a result, both sides found it difficult to conceal their surprise and delight. The scene was somewhat hilarious at one point, with the audience screaming so hard that they almost blew the roof of the airport off.
Finally, it was Nadal, the host, who reacted first. He, Agassi and Graf were old acquaintances and had met them many times on different occasions. So he took the initiative to step forward, hugged and greeted these familiar faces, and once again extended a warm welcome to Gawain.
"You should have reminded me in advance. I'm a little worried about the space in the vehicle now." Nadal patted Gawain on the back, his smile a little shy and nervous.
Gao Wen spread his hands and said, "It just so happens that you gave me a surprise and I gave you a surprise. To use the old Chinese saying, it's a courtesy."
Nadal looked at the cardboard in his hand and smiled stiffly, obviously still not used to it.
Gao Wen noticed it, "This is not like your style at all. This shouldn't be Uncle Tony's suggestion, right?"
Nadal could hear Gawain's teasing and finally laughed, "No, this is Mary's suggestion." After saying this, his expression became a little uncomfortable and restrained.
Gawain's eyes widened again, full of surprise, "I thought it was Maribel's suggestion."
Maria-Francisca-Perello, Nadal's girlfriend.
Maria-Isabel-Nadal is Nadal's younger sister.
Although both are "Maria", these are two people:
"Mery" is the nickname given to Perillo by those close to him; Maribel is Nadal's sister.
Obviously, Gao Wen did not expect Nadal's answer at all.
