Chapter 293: A Complete Reshuffle

In a hurry, Gawain did not think carefully. His first reaction was that he had read the time wrong, or that Tobias was joking.

The “training maniac” meme is well known.

But Tobias' words interrupted Gawain's actions, directly cutting off all possibilities. The sudden huge impact made Gawain stunned.

Tobias seemed to be able to read the confusion in Gawain's eyes and repeated it again.

"Yes, I am not kidding, the wild card has been cancelled."

Fall vertically.

High expectations slammed heavily into the ground, and the momentary imbalance of emotions filled the tip of his tongue with a complex bitterness. The absurd impact made Gawain unable to react. He tried to open his mouth to ask twice, but he didn't know how to start, so that all the sounds were stuck in his throat.

After living his life over again, Gawain thought that he was open-minded and calm enough. He had even experienced resurrection from the dead once before, so other things would be a piece of cake for him. He could remain calm even when faced with a catastrophe. He had such confidence.

However, he suddenly discovered that this was not the case.

In his rebirth, he is still an ordinary person, an ordinary person who runs all the way with his dreams in his arms, an ordinary person who can cry, laugh, and feel fear and nervousness.

After realizing this, Gao Wen regained his composure.

Taking a deep breath, the corners of Gawain's mouth curled up again.

"It seems that you are not playing a prank, so what is going on?"

The surprise and confusion were short-lived, and Gawain quickly regained his usual calmness and composure. This reminded Tobias of when Gawain faced match point, the more critical the moment, the calmer he was able to remain. That strong heart burst with the temperament of a champion, and he was always able to present the best of himself.

Instead, Tobias felt a little guilty. "I'm sorry, it's my fault. You have every right to be angry."

But Gao Wen did not rush to draw conclusions, but waited patiently for what would happen next.

"Isner lost to Ivan Dodig in the first round in Montreal, and before that he lost to Murray in the third round in Cincinnati. Obviously, the performance in the North American series was very bad. He was not satisfied with his condition and applied for a wild card temporarily after losing the first round."

"After careful consideration, the organizing committee cancelled your wild card and gave Isner a temporary wild card."

Gao Wen: ...

Objectively speaking, there are countless similar situations in the tour.

Isner is currently ranked 14th in the world and the highest ranked player in the United States. In short, he is a local favorite. When he was dissatisfied with his warm-up performance in the Masters, he applied for a wild card of Winston-Salem. The organizers had no reason to refuse.

It will bring huge benefits to ticket sales and TV broadcasts.

When this happens, the event organizers often cannot disqualify the qualifying players because they have entered the main competition through two rounds of qualifying tests and won their qualification with their performance on the field. Unless they withdraw due to injury, the organizing committee has no right to disqualify them.

Naturally, the only replacement is the wild card qualification.

Originally, wild cards were awarded by the organizing committee after careful consideration, and they also have the right to take them back.

Well, this is not Tobias' fault at all. "Isner VS Gawain", there is really no suspense about what Winston-Salem should choose, even if Tobias mobilizes all his connections.

Gao Wen was even more curious, "What about the other two wild cards?"

There were three wildcard seats for the Gold Tournament. Isner's temporary application for a wildcard was approved, but why was Gawain eliminated among the three seats? Tobias laughed in silence. Even in the chaotic situation, Gawain still grasped the key point.

"Soke, Querrey."

Sam-Querrey was the number one American men's singles player for the past three years, but due to injuries, he fell out of the top 20 in the world rankings last year. Now that he has returned from injury, his performance is still struggling.

Jack-Sock, a rookie who turned to professional tennis in 2011, has experienced a full-scale explosion this year. His world ranking has soared from outside the top 100 at the beginning of the year to the top 50. He is currently the third men's singles player in the United States and has great hope of achieving good results at the US Open.

One is a middle-aged man, the other is a rising star, and most importantly, both are Americans.

In such a horizontal comparison, Gao Wen's three challenge championship trophies seem dull.

No wonder.

If Gao Wen was the tournament director of Winston-Salem, he would also cancel the wild card of the unknown player from another country and forward it to the number one men's singles player from his own country.

After hearing the answer, Gao Wen finally relaxed. "This is obviously not your problem."

But these words made Tobias feel even worse.

He knew that theoretically, there wasn't much he could do, but as a top agent, he couldn't lower his standards. It was precisely because of the difficulties that he needed to try his best to fight for Gao Wen, and he didn't think it was impossible.

Tobias was disappointed in himself.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Seeing Gawain regain his composure, Tobias secretly clenched his fists and cheered himself up, but he did not say anything more about his ambitions. Actions were more important than words.

"Gawain, you're not going to get discouraged just like that, are you?" Tobias asked worriedly.

Gao Wen laughed happily, "Haha, do I look like someone who gives up so easily? Since they chose someone else, we have to make them regret it."

Just like when reporters used Zverev to hype the news, compared to Zverev, Gao Wen’s real target is actually the reporters.

Because he knew that in the eyes of reporters, he was just a tool to provoke Zverev Jr., and the fact that reporters still surrounded Zverev Jr. even after winning the championship further proved this point.

I'm afraid no reporter could have predicted that just three weeks later, Gao Wen's world ranking would be in the same range as Zverev.

Tobias could sense the confidence in Gawain's words, and he felt a little worried and curious.

"Now the schedule has been disrupted and the training plan needs to be modified and adjusted temporarily. What are you going to do?"

In fact, from another perspective, Gao Wen has experienced high-intensity competitions for three consecutive weeks and won fifteen games in a row. If he can use more time to digest and consolidate his experience, and then strengthen it through training, he may be able to usher in an explosive growth. Not participating in the Winston-Salem game may not be a bad thing.

The problem is that if they had a coaching staff now, things would be simple, but the reality is that they don't.

Gawain had regained his composure, no longer having to rush to the airport, and even his steps and shoulders relaxed.

"Since there are no games, let's focus on training."

"It's just right. Through the next half month of training, I will see if I can bring some surprises when I step onto the court of the US Open."

Open the system and enter the command: Make a two-week training plan.
