Chapter 1279 Waiting in Line
Watching the realistic performance of Gawain in front of him, Dimitrov gritted his teeth and asked a soul-searching question: God, can he please give this guy a good beating? He swore that he would never hit him in the face.
But the kind-hearted Dimitrov still had no way to take action after all, and he and Sharapova were able to reconcile thanks to Gao Wen.
Later, Sharapova also said that Gao Wen had talked to her in Miami, and those words did help her organize her thoughts and rethink some issues.
"ah!"
Dimitrov clenched his fists and roared, but eventually unclenched his fists.
Over there.
Looking at Dimitrov's depressed expression, Gawain finally couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.
"Haha, Gregor, you really... you really should look at your expression just now... Haha, it's really funny."
Dimitrov: ...
God, can't he really beat up this guy in front of him? Just once! Gawain continued to laugh unscrupulously, and only when his smile was slightly controlled did he raise his phone and shake it.
"Don't worry, I have people who care about me too, I'm not envious at all, you don't have to feel guilty."
In fact, Dimitrov is just awkward——
Gao Wen knew all the ups and downs between him and Sharapova. He was depressed not long ago, but now he is in a sweet mood and always feels a little shy.
After hearing what Gawain said, Dimitrov immediately took advantage of the situation and nodded his head, "That's right, you see, I am such a loyal friend. I feel guilty for considering your feelings."
Gawain did not expose Dimitrov's trick, and a smile spread across his eyes. "How is it, Maria? Is everything going well?"
"The ill-fated mandarin ducks".
Although such words are somewhat inaccurate, they are oddly fitting when used to describe the situation of Dimitrov and Sharapova.
Originally, Sharapova started this year with ten consecutive wins, topped Brisbane, and reached the final of the Australian Open. She is still in good form in the new season.
However, the quarrel and cold war between the young couple became a turning point. The emotional fluctuations extended from off the court to on the court. Not only did Dimitrov slide further into the abyss, but Sharapova also lost her touch. The two people who were still in love fell into an unknown fog.
In the spring North American hard court season, Sharapova first lost in the round of 16 in Indian Wells, and then was unexpectedly eliminated in the first match in Miami.
In the end, Sharapova only achieved a poor result of two wins and two losses in the Sunshine Double, and her form was sluggish. It seemed that she fell into a vicious circle again, just like last year.
After that, Sharapova took a break for a whole month to adjust her condition, because the clay court season is very important to her.
Last year, Sharapova won the French Open and her fifth Grand Slam title. She did not expect that she would win the French Open for the second time. This year, as the defending champion, Sharapova is still looking forward to being in good competitive form in the clay court season and continue to challenge for the championship.
So, she needs time to rest and time to regain her focus.
Fortunately, Dimitrov and Sharapova finally sat down and talked face to face, solved their problems and got back on track.
In April, Dimitrov came to Monte Carlo to compete, while Sharapova went to Stuttgart to prepare for the clay court season.
Stuttgart is Sharapova's lucky place. She has remained undefeated so far and has won three times in three competitions.
So, Sharapova did not choose Charleston as the start of her clay court season, but went directly to Stuttgart, hoping to usher in a good omen for the clay court season.
The Stuttgart tournament starts next week, so Sharapova has been training this week.
Today, it is undoubtedly good news that Dimitrov was able to win the doubles championship in Monte Carlo and wipe out the slump. He also hopes to pass this good luck to Sharapova.
"very good."
Dimitrov smiled, but there was still a hint of concern and tension between his brows.
"Maria has always been like this. She also gives her all and is meticulous in training, but training is training after all, and competition is another matter."
"In the end, it is still necessary to improve the condition through actual combat drills. So, she is saying that everything is going well, but I don't know how it will go in the actual competition."
In fact, this is true for Sharapova, Gao Wen and Dimitrov.
Winning the Monte Carlo doubles championship is indeed a cause for celebration, but we should also recognize our shortcomings, or the room for improvement.
The outstanding performance in doubles has won them more competitions to adapt to the clay court, but both players were eliminated in the quarterfinals in the singles event, which also means that they still need to adapt to the clay court and adjust their condition. After all, singles is still their main goal.
Gawain smiled.
"Don't worry, the clay court season has just begun. There is still more than a month to slowly adapt and adjust. It's still early for Roland Garros."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"You and Maria both have many years of competition experience. I think the one who needs to worry the most now is me. Clay and I are strangers. We need a lot of conversations to get to know each other. I think there may not be enough time."
An anthropomorphic joke easily brought a smile to Dimitrov's face.
Then, Dimitrov showed an expression of serious thinking on his face, and even supported his left hand with his right hand, and then touched his chin with his left hand.
"Very good, now I finally know Gawain's weakness. I think I should have a chance in the next month."
There is a chance to defeat Gawain.
But Gawain looked at Dimitrov and didn't mind at all. He nodded in agreement, "Indeed, everyone has a chance. I think this should be no secret. If you want to beat me, you may need to line up early. Otherwise, you know, if I lose in the first or second round, it won't be your turn."
The self-deprecating remarks showed his confidence and ease from the inside out, which made Dimitrov laugh happily. "Can I get a number plate?"
Gao Wen tilted his head and thought seriously, "Now the numbers should be outside the 50th. I'm not sure you still have a chance before Roland Garros."
"Haha." Dimitrov laughed out loud.
Eeyore.
At this moment, Pospisil pushed open the door of the locker room and walked in. Seeing the two people chatting and laughing, he couldn't help but pause and moved his eyes hesitantly, looking at Gawain, then at Dimitrov, and finally at Gawain. His vigilant eyes revealed a deep sense of defense.
Obviously, if there is a real chance to line up and beat Gawain, Pospisil will be fighting hard for the front position.
Now. At this moment. This person.
When these three factors collide, the humor is doubled.
Gawain and Dimitrov exchanged glances and laughed even more happily. The entire locker room was filled with their voices.
Pospisil: Two psychos.
