Chapter 676 Correct Answer
Wimbledon, the 100-year Grand Slam event, Bouchard entered the final, Dimitrov entered the semi-finals, and young blood bloomed at the All England Club.
Then, the scandal was born.
In fact, the point has never been whether something happened between them, because what media reporters need is not the truth, but the sparks created by the collision of two hot spots.
In those news articles, "Dimitrov" and "Bouchard" are just two tools used to hype news around "Sharapova".
Even though Dimitrov had just opened his mouth and hadn't said much, Gawain knew that things were definitely not that simple.
Dimitrov's words were a little difficult.
After he opened his mouth, he fell into a long silence. He had never confided in anyone, not even Tobias, because he believed that this was his own business, a matter between him and Sharapova, and they did not need or should ask for help from others.
But the reality is helpless. Many times and in many things, they have no control over themselves.
Silence spread in the air, so much so that the sound of hot water flowing in the pipes became particularly noisy.
Then, Dimitrov finally found the courage.
"call……"
"Maria's performance in Singapore was so-so last week. She returned to Monte Carlo early and did not come to Paris to avoid adding pressure on me."
"It was also because she was very disappointed with her performance and hoped to temporarily leave the court for a few days and then concentrate on off-season training."
"I just want to perform well, I just want to go to London and invite Maria to go with me to London, to prove something."
There was a brief pause and a sigh.
"But why is it so difficult?"
The WTA year-end finals were held in Singapore last week.
As the current world's second-ranked player, Sharapova is naturally shortlisted and has the opportunity to compete for the world's number one, but her form is very bad.
In the group stage, she lost to Wozniacki and Kvitova consecutively. If she had won the third game in straight sets, she still had a chance of winning. However, when facing A-Radwanska, she squandered her advantages of winning the first set and leading 5:1 in the second set and was dragged into the deciding set.
Although they still won the final set, they lost the possibility of qualifying for the group stage.
In the end, the WTA year-end finals came to an end. Serena Williams won three consecutive championships and retained the year-end world ranking No. 1 for the second consecutive year.
It seems that Sharapova is not having an easy time now. The media all over the world are watching her; and her condition has also affected Dimitrov to some extent.
The more Dimitrov wanted to perform well, the more things went against his wishes.
In this year's game, Dimitrov seemed to have found the reason for his performance. The more he wanted to exert force, the more tense he became, and the more likely he was to make mistakes.
It is precisely because of this that the blow of this defeat is heavier than ever, because it means the end of Dimitrov's hopes of reaching the year-end finals.
Yes, why is life so difficult? "I'm sorry, Gregor, I don't have an answer."
Gawain was very honest. His answer made Dimitrov look up. He was slightly stunned, and then a slight smile rose at the corner of his mouth:
Bitter and helpless.
"The thing is, we always think that life has a clear answer, telling us why things are the way they are and how we should move forward."
"But the cruelest part of reality is that there is no, there is no correct answer, because each of us has our own answer."
Gawain's words made Dimitrov pause his smile. He stared at his friend blankly. He needed some time to digest the message.
Gawain shrugged slightly and smiled widely.
"You know what my favorite part about tennis is?"
“It allows us to make mistakes, and then we correct them.”
"In a game, the situation can change because of one point, but the outcome will not be determined by one point."
"We only see the match point. There may be luck, mistakes and unwillingness, but in fact, before the match point, the context of the whole game is the key point."
"It doesn't matter if we make mistakes or if we have match points. As long as the game is still going on, there is still a chance. The premise is that we need to keep fighting until the last ball."
"Between offense and defense, initiative and passivity, we can always find opportunities to turn the game around."
Dimitrov was a little absent-minded.
Dimitrov's personality is different from Gawain's. He is gentler and friendlier. Because of this, he is very popular in the tour. He can always find a suitable way to get along with both male and female players. But for the same reason, he lacks a bit of murderousness and bloodiness on the court.

He is somewhat similar to Berdych, the difference is that Berdych is more introverted and Dimitrov is more extroverted.
Therefore, Dimitrov and Gao Wen also have different ways of looking at the game.
"Gregor, what I mean is, I don't know how to make those media leave. Maybe, they can never leave; maybe, they can never be satisfied."
"Look at Novak, even with all he has achieved, the media is so harsh on him, always."
"But I know what we can do."
"Tennis is always about ourselves, and this is the only thing in our hands, so why not make a detailed plan in the offseason, take this anger, this disappointment, this pain, put it into training, and then prove ourselves next year."
Dimitrov looked at Gawain in astonishment, hesitating for a long time before finally saying, "You training maniac, is this the answer you gave me?"
Gao Wen spread his hands and said calmly, "I just said that I don't have a correct answer."
Dimitrov was very serious, "Can I swear?"
Gao Wen smiled widely, "You should think about Maria. She is now back in Monte Carlo, and should be back to training on the court."
"...No, Monte Carlo is a place for rest and vacation. If she wants to train, she will return to Miami for training." Dimitrov retorted seriously.
Looking at Gawain's frozen expression, the joy of a successful prank made the corners of his mouth rise into a smile, "But Maria said that if she didn't go to London, she would book a flight to Miami next week."
Sharapova is a player with a very strong will. Her playing style is based on a strong desire to win. So it is conceivable that she must be very dissatisfied with the way the season ended this year. She will be in crazy training mode during the offseason.
Gao Wen, you guessed it right.
Dimitrov's little prank frightened Gawain, and a smile sparkled in his eyes.
Gawain spread his hands, expressing his helplessness. "Okay, you fooled me this time, but I'd better not let Dominic or Milos know about this, otherwise I will kill them to silence them."
