Chapter 1976: Honesty

Ideals can be very ideal, but reality is often different.

The Vienna tournament organizing committee obviously overestimated Thiem. Thiem is not the type who is good at dancing like Federer. He has used up all his energy just by opening his mouth. His only hope is to end this matter as soon as possible.

On the contrary, Gawain always found it funny to see Tim tense all over.

What’s the schedule?

Gao Wen has discussed this with the team. The situation is somewhat similar to last year. Last year, it was the qualification to advance to the year-end finals, but this year, it is the possibility of being the world's number one. The balance and control of the schedule will be the key in the future.

Last year, Gao Wen made it clear that he would not trade the future for the present. It would be great if he could go to London to participate in the year-end finals, but it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t make it, as there will be opportunities in the future.

So, Gawain did not compete tiredly, but proceeded according to the plan.

The same is true this year.

Although the first time at the year-end worlds is very attractive, and even more tempting than the year-end finals, Gao Wen is not ready to trade his future.

Lessons from the Past

In his previous life, in 2016, that was the real peak of Murray's career. He won the Australian Open final, the French Open final, the Wimbledon championship, the US Open quarterfinals, the Olympic championship, the Rome championship, the Shanghai championship, the Paris championship, the year-end finals championship, and was ranked number one in the world at the end of the year.

Burning all year round!

In fact, in the second half of the season, he showed signs of fatigue after winning the singles championship at the Rio Olympics, but Murray believed that this was a rare opportunity in his career, so after an unexpected stop in the quarterfinals of the US Open, he burst into passion again, burning continuously in the Asian season and the European indoor hard court season, and for the first time in his career, he topped the world's number one throne at the end of the year.

It was also that year that Murray convinced everyone and truly and completely established his position as a giant.

But no one expected that this would also be the last glory of Murray's career. Although Murray has been among the top giants since then, the consumption in 2016 has drained his energy and he has never been able to recover. He is like a moth to a flame, burning out.

Of course, Gao Wen believes that Murray deserves it. At least he has fought for a season of his life. His glory in 2016 alone has gone down in history. He is also the only player to defend the Olympic men's singles champion.

only……

Gao Wen is still young, and he doesn't want 2015 to be his peak.

His debut was his peak, which meant that the future was only a downhill road. He was still looking forward to continued improvement and growth, and he was still looking forward to continued challenges and breakthroughs. The curtain of his career had just opened.

No. 1 in the world?

This is a goal, but there is no need to trade the future for it.

So, take your time and follow the steps.

In this regard, Sampras, Agassi and Tobias all reached a consensus. They agreed with Gao Wen's point of view. After experiencing the same situation last year, this year seems much simpler.

The discussion on the schedule was completed quickly and there were no objections.

After the US Open, first comes the Asian season, then the European hard court season, and finally the year-end finals. From a time perspective, it is a full three months, which is also accurately divided into three parts.

In the Asian season, the first is the Davis Cup weekend. Gao Wen is not planning to participate in the next two weeks, but to rest and adjust. Then there are two events in Beijing and Shanghai, each with 500 points and a Masters tournament.

In the European hard court season, just like the Asian season, Gao Wen is also going to participate in two tournaments, one with 500 points and one Masters, which is a moderate number.

Of course, there are exceptions. If a race does not perform well and is eliminated in the first round, and there is still no improvement in the second race, it is very necessary to temporarily add more races. Everything still needs to be prepared for the year-end finals. Slowly adjust the state and look forward to achieving the best in London.

That is to say, there will be two events in September, two events in October, and finally the year-end finals in November.

The entire schedule is clear at a glance.

Among them, the four events in Beijing, Shanghai, Paris and London have all been finalized, with the only exception being another event in the European indoor hard court season.

At the same time, this is also the most intense and hottest period of time for the competition to compete for top players. To some extent, it is even more intense than the grass season.

After all, there are only a few grass courts left, and the high cost of maintaining the venues is daunting, so event organizers need to think twice before acting. But indoor hard courts are different. Hard courts are convenient, and indoor venues can avoid the impact of weather, so the schedule can be arranged more easily.

There is only a two-week interval between the Shanghai Masters and the Paris Masters, but there are five ATP-level events crammed in, in addition to a series of challenge tournaments and hope tournaments. As the season enters its final stage, professional tournaments are still lively.

Vienna, Moscow, Stockholm, second week of October.

The third week of October, Basel, Valencia.

Competition is fierce! From 2014 to 2015, there was a small change in the ATP, which was not obvious but crucial. Valencia was downgraded from 500 points to 250 points, and correspondingly, Vienna was upgraded from 250 points to 500 points, but it was crucial.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Especially for Gawain.

Since you are ready to participate in the competition, the points must be taken into consideration.

Last year, Gawain participated in the Valencia tournament and advanced all the way to the finals, but unfortunately lost to Murray and finished second; this year, Valencia was unfortunately relegated, and Gawain was in the battle for the world's number one, so Valencia was unfortunately eliminated, and his goal will be to aim for the 500-point tournament.

Vienna or Basel? Actually, it has not been decided yet, and Tobias has not registered Gao Wen yet.

From a commercial perspective, Tobias hopes that Gawain will go to Basel. With Gawain joining Federer, Nadal, and Wawrinka, as well as other top players who are considering whether to participate, the box office market will definitely be guaranteed and commercial promotion can be easily carried out.

From a competitive perspective, Tobias is more inclined to Vienna. If he has a choice, it is wiser to avoid Federer's home advantage. After all, Gawain is in urgent need of points now, and there is no need to go head-to-head with him. There are plenty of opportunities anyway.

In competitions such as Shanghai, Paris and London, Gao Wen had countless opportunities to compete with top players, so it was no problem if he missed one chance in Basel.

Of course, Moscow, Stockholm and Valencia also very much hope that Gao Wen can go to participate in the competition. They are also actively communicating with Tobias. Even if the points are less, but the treatment is better, it is also a kind of complementarity. They all look forward to Gao Wen's first participation in the competition.

Very popular!

The competition was fiercer than ever before, especially since they all knew that in order to compete for the world's first place, Gao Wen would definitely choose a race here. So, since Gao Wen had already decided to participate, why couldn't he be the one to participate? As a result, the competition in these races was fierce, and everyone showed their magical powers.

For Gao Wen, Vienna or Basel has no impact at all. They are all competitions, challenges, and the games are all the same.

Obviously, Vienna also realized this, so they played the most important card -

Tim.
