The future is very long and far away, so there is really no need to rush.

Sampras stared at Gao Wen quietly, looking at the face that was still young and childish - in their eyes, Asians all have baby faces.

What's more, Gao Wen is indeed young and just celebrated his twentieth birthday today.

The impetuous and turbulent thoughts slowly settled down, and Sampras' language organization ability was obviously better. He was no longer impatient or panicked.

He said, "Gawain, do you still like playing tennis? Are you still happy when you are on the court?"

Gao Wen did not answer in a hurry, but calmed down and thought seriously for a long time before nodding, "Yeah."

Simple and firm.

Sampras smiled, "That's enough. For tomorrow's game, don't think about the result or the world's No. 1. You just need to know that if you don't get the world's No. 1 at the end of the year, you still have 20 years to chase it slowly in the future..."

Gao Wen's eyes widened. "Twenty years? Isn't that a little too long?"

Sampras laughed out loud, "So, all you need to do is enjoy tomorrow's game. Losing is not the end of the world, and winning is not the pinnacle. This is just one more game in your long career. It is important, but not that important."

While others continued to add historical significance and weight to the match, Sampras continued to reduce pressure. He hoped that tennis could be simpler.

The truth is not difficult to understand. Gao Wen has always said this since he unexpectedly won the US Open last year. However, the pressure this time is so overwhelming that even Gao Wen can't help but be shaken.

Gao Wen understood Sampras' intentions and smiled as he looked at his coach. "Yes, there will probably be more such situations next year. We need to warm up now."

next year?

Sampras was slightly stunned, and then he reacted -

In the 2015 season, Gao Wen indeed reached an insurmountable peak, with two Grand Slams and four Masters. No matter how tomorrow's match goes, it can be foreseen that the pressure to defend the title in the 2016 season should be even greater. Tonight is just a preview of next year.

It is difficult to reach the top; it is even more difficult to maintain the top for a long time.

Sampras also noticed that Gao Wen's tone had returned to its usual relaxed state, and he joked, "Why, your confidence is starting to drop now?"

Gao Wen waved his hand, "I don't have the confidence to lose."

Sampras just laughed out loud.

Gao Wen, however, was very serious. "I'm serious. There is still room for improvement on both clay and grass. I haven't played the entire hard court season in North America in the summer. I think I still have room to grow."

Sampras nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, why don't we determine our future goals now."

"In the 2017 season, I completed a perfect season, a feat that Roger, Rafa and Novak have not accomplished, without losing a single match throughout the season."

"In the 2018 season, I will continue to challenge Roger's grass court winning streak, Rafa's clay court winning streak, and Novak's hard court winning streak."

Blah blah blah——

The future is long, very long. Although Gao Wen's 2015 season was excellent and could be called a peak, there are still countless challenges ahead.

Not to mention the number of Grand Slam and Masters titles, there are still countless challenges waiting ahead.

What's more, don't forget that the reason why the Big Four are the Big Four is because they keep improving and growing. Gao Wen's impact this year has become a fact, and the Big Four will show their talents in the future. When they meet again next year, perhaps the situation will be different.

Chasing each other and achieving mutual success, this is the greatness of the Big Four.

Now, the fifth giant has risen, and the Big Four are once again facing new challenges. A new round of tests has quietly begun.

Just imagining it makes my blood boil.

Next year will be even more exciting than this year.

Thinking about it this way, and then looking back at tomorrow's game and thinking about the pressure at the moment, it seems not worth mentioning -

There is always a mountain higher than the one you are on.

In the world of competitive sports, the real challenges come from opponents and from oneself. Although external pressure is piling up and will continue to rise, and the hustle and bustle will never stop; however, when they stand on the court, the challenge that belongs to each other is the real protagonist.

Federer. Nadal. Djokovic. Murray.

They have proven themselves time and again over the past decade, which has led to the glory of an era.

And now, next to their names, we need to add another Gawain.

Looking at Sampras who was talking nonstop, Gawain was dumbfounded. "Wait, Pete, you are not writing down all the records you haven't broken or the records that have been broken in a little notebook, waiting for me to rewrite the names?"

Sampras was slightly stunned, "Hey, is it that obvious?"

This answer... was also unexpected.

Gao Wen couldn't hold it back any longer and burst out laughing, "Peter, what about the agreement that I am me and you are you? You shouldn't put your expectations on me."

Sampras looked disgusted. "If this is not possible, then why am I following you around the world? I guess Andre feels the same way."

Pop.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Just at this moment, a muffled sound was heard from the gym door.

Gawain and Sampras both turned their heads and saw Agassi rubbing his head with an embarrassed look on his face.

Agassi was a little embarrassed and blinked his eyes. "Just now... there was a... bee... yes, a bee..."

Gawain looked in the direction where Agassi's finger was pointing randomly in the air.

Agassi cleared his throat. "I mean it, bee, there really was a bee just now. I, uh, I just...but now it seems...it's okay, it's okay."

Sampras looked disgusted, "Andre is worried about you too."

Gawain deliberately spread his hands in protest, "Am I so untrustworthy? It's a bit sad."

Agassi quickly waved his hands, "No, of course not."

However, before Agassi could continue his explanation, another figure appeared behind him.

Pelt's expressionless face showed a little surprise, "You are all here, have you seen Gawain?"

Gao Wen raised his right hand, looking very obedient, "Report, I'm here."

Pelt nodded gently, "It seems that you are doing well."

"Hey, why are you all here at the gym so late at night? I thought you were all tired of the gym." The voice came from Tobias, who was also suffering from insomnia.

Sampras directly complained, "John, you can't do that. You're too late."

With just one sentence, everyone burst into laughter.

Pressure is obviously not so easy to disappear. It is there, always there, and has become a part of competitive sports, but they can choose -

Face it positively or negatively? Standing at the crossroads of history, Gawain held his head high and smiled, because he knew that he was not fighting alone.

Indeed, it is true.

The Chinese mainland, as well as the entire Asia and the world, are all focused on the London O2 Arena with the highest level of treatment.

They are waiting, waiting for a showdown, waiting for a moment. No matter what the result is, it will be the moment to witness the birth of history.
