Chapter 509 Award Ceremony
Jiang Yanyun hugged Gao Wen tightly, tightly. Although she had thought about smiling, she couldn't help but let her tears fall again. She just kept patting Gao Wen's back and responded heavily.
"Yeah. Uh-huh!"
He couldn't utter a word, but his slightly trembling voice revealed his turbulent emotions. Gao Hongli, who was standing next to him, laughed heartily.
"Well done! Really beautiful!"
Emotions suddenly surged in Gawain's chest, not only because of the championship, but also because of the vicissitudes and twists and turns of two lives, just like Don Quixote chasing the sun, but the difference is that Don Quixote eventually woke up from his dream, and then died alone on the bed, while he won a second chance and finally chased the sun.
The tip of the nose feels slightly sour.
But a smile immediately bloomed on the corners of his mouth, full of happiness, emotion, enjoyment and joy, blooming without reservation.
After giving each of his parents a big hug, Gao Wen hugged Tate and Meng Xiushan separately.
"Thank you for your willingness to abide by our agreement."
Meng Xiushan looked at the young man in front of him with clear eyes. In a trance, he seemed to see himself who had just set foot on the North American continent to pursue life, and then a smile bloomed on his face.
“Thank you for believing in the dream.”
This simple sentence was quickly drowned out by Tate's screams and howls, but Gawain was slightly stunned, and his sight on Meng Xiushan was also filled with a ray of sunshine.
Turning around, Gawain saw Agassi waiting for him.
This bald uncle was unruly and flamboyant when he was young, but after years of polishing, his true character of shyness and restraint gradually revealed itself. After experiencing many hardships, he found his childish innocence again. He scratched his bald head a little stiffly, as if he didn't know what to say to Gawain.
As a result, Sampras couldn't bear it any longer, bumped Agassi with his shoulder and complained.
“There are still people queuing up.”
Gao Wen laughed heartily and took the lead to hug Sampras. "Thank you for accompanying me on this journey. Without your help, nothing tonight would be possible."
"Hehe, although I know this is all my credit, I am still willing to be humble." Sampras also made a little joke with Gawain.
A smile appeared in Gawain's eyes. "Peter, I know this is not the best occasion. Obviously we need to discuss this issue more formally, but I hope you can become my best coach and follow me to participate in competitions around the world. I know you may make many demanding requests, and you may even refuse subconsciously, but don't refuse yet. Please think carefully."
Gao Wen, I am serious.
Sampras' experience and wisdom helped Kovan tremendously on his road to the finals of this year's US Open, making up for his lack of experience. Moreover, in terms of technical and tactical preparation, Sampras's knowledge also gave Kovan many new ideas, which was undoubtedly very important.
Sampras could sense Gawain's sincerity. He thought for a moment and said, "I'll seriously consider it."
Gao Wen nodded and said, "That's enough." After all, even Federer couldn't convince Sampras to come out and be a professional coach.
Then Gao Wen gave Agassi a big hug and said, "Thank you for letting me have a dream and thank you for accompanying me on this journey."
Agassi was still a little clumsy. He just hugged Gawain tightly and said, "It was a wonderful game, very, very wonderful." He kept repeating these words over and over again. He even stuttered a little, but one could feel the sincerity in his words.
Next, Gawain saw Tobias, who was smiling and in tears. This big-name agent was a little out of control. This was a Tobias that Gawain had never seen before.
Without waiting for Gawain to come forward, Tobias took the initiative to give Gawain a big hug, "Thank you for believing in the dream and thank you for fighting to the end. Thank you for making me believe that dreams are real. Good job, little guy, good job!"
There are so many emotions in these short words, which reminds Gawain of the story of Tobias:
He once had his own dream of becoming a champion, but it was never realized. He changed his job to become an agent and always hoped that his players could fulfill their unfulfilled dreams. He thought Dimitrov was the answer, but he didn't expect Gawain to be the first to bloom proudly on the US Open stage.
Tobias, at this moment, was truly overwhelmed by ecstasy and lost his composure, which was rare.
Gao Wen's heart also surged, and he couldn't help but think of the scene when they first met, and then he chuckled, "John, thank you for believing in me."
The simple words weighed heavily on Tobias' chest, and then they watched Gawain leave. He needed to return to the golf course to wait for the awards ceremony. Now the caddies and staff were busy setting up the podium, but the heat of the Arthur Ashe Stadium had not yet subsided.
Tobias watched the tall and straight figure moving forward. He and the audience around him high-fived to celebrate. Laughter and joy continued to surge in the rolling heat. He was obviously just a dark horse that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, a monkey that jumped out of a crack in the stone. The press conference before the first game against Isner and his self-introduction on the court were still vivid in his mind, but in the blink of an eye, Gawain already owned the whole world.
His graceful, witty and humorous image has won him the admiration of countless audiences not only in Asia, but also in North America.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Everything is sparkling.
Tobias took a deep breath and a confident smile reappeared on the corners of his mouth. Then the next step would be his battlefield. He was ready to stir up a storm, but he didn't know whether the brand sponsors were ready. He was a little curious whether Nike and Adidas were working overtime to hold emergency meetings.
On the court, Gawain has already made history; outside the court, it is up to him to make history for Gawain.
While I was thinking, the podium had been set up. The melody of the popular single "Counting-Star" from the Republic era finally came to a temporary end. The bustling reporters all gathered in front of the podium and got ready. Then, the award ceremony officially began -
The host was still McEnroe. David Haggerty, chairman of the United States Tennis Association, invited Cilic and Galvin to the center of the court to interview the runner-up Cilic first.
"Thank you, thank you US Open, thank you Arthur Ashe Stadium, I'm not sure, my brain is a little confused now, this is obviously a very painful defeat, I need some time to digest it, but I have to congratulate Gao Wen."
"You completed an incredible game today. I still haven't been able to react until now. I believe you have a brilliant future. Tonight's championship is the best proof. Once again, I send you my sincere respect and congratulations."
Amid applause and cheers from the audience, Cilic thanked his team, family, and the US Open audience, then received the runner-up trophy from David Hargitay.
Then you can hear McEnroe's drawn-out voice announcing, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's give a round of applause to --
Gawain! "
The whole audience burst into thunderous applause! (End of this chapter)
