Chapter 769 Getting on the right track

For professional tennis players, the ability to resist interference is a very important skill, because the interference of the audience is always objective and unavoidable.

Even the four Grand Slams are no exception.

Wimbledon still retains its century-old tradition and is a model of good spectator etiquette, but the other three events each have their own problems.

Of course, the French Open and the Australian Open have always advocated observing etiquette for spectators, and their spectators also hope to abide by it. The noise and bustle are not too serious, but -

French Open spectators love to complain. They will not hesitate to make a fuss about controversial decisions, injury timeouts, serve timeouts, unexpected situations, etc. Moreover, the curses and taunts are very sharp and mean, and more than once have forced the participating players to collapse and even cry on the spot.

Australian Open spectators love to cheer for the team. From a positive perspective, this is enthusiasm, but from a negative perspective, it is noisy. Especially in matches where local players appear, the enthusiastic cheering at the scene is irrelevant at any time and in any place, and it is simply enough to make your ears bleed.

So, overall, the audience still hopes to abide by the viewing etiquette, but unexpected situations are still inevitable.

As for the US Open, haha.

The etiquette for watching the game is basically non-existent. Not only do people stand up and walk in and out at will, but even when the game is in progress, they will not remain quiet. Eating snacks, making phone calls, whispering, etc. are commonplace, and there are even quarrels. When the ball is being hit, there will be spectators shouting "out of bounds" to disrupt it. It is basically the atmosphere of a hypermarket.

It is precisely because of this that interference is everywhere, even in the Grand Slams, and daily tours are no exception. Every player needs to cultivate his or her patience.

But this is obviously not an easy thing to do, after all, even the clay Buddha still has some temper.

And just a brief encounter with Gawain left a good impression on Graf.

Graf observed Gawain quietly for a while, with a glimmer of admiration in her eyes.

It was not until the current set of training was completed that Gawain put down the water bag, called to Pelt, and the two walked over together.

"Hey, good focus."

Without waiting for Gawain to say hello, Graf spoke first with a smile, which interrupted the argument between Agassi and Sampras, and everyone's attention was focused on them.

Gawain was sweating profusely, as if he had just been pulled out of the water, his cheeks flushed and he was panting heavily. The water bag training looked simple, but in fact, the whole process was very exhausting, and he needed to take a breath.

His brain was lacking oxygen, and couldn't keep up with the speed. It took him a beat longer to realize what Graf meant. Gawain chuckled and pointed at himself.

"If a set of training is not completed, the training effect cannot be achieved, which also means we need to start over."

"I'm already in enough of a mess right now, and to be honest, I want to be lazy for a while, so I need to grit my teeth and get it done."

A small joke, coupled with a helpless look on his face with his hands spread out, successfully made everyone laugh, and then Gawain looked at Agassi.

"Andre, thank you so much for joining my team. It's an honor."

"For my mother, this should be more incredible than winning a Grand Slam. I think she can now finally tell everyone that her decision to let me learn tennis was wise and correct."

Ha! Agassi smiled shyly again and touched his bald head, but he didn't say anything polite to Gawain.

"I'm a little unsure."

"Because my hitting method and playing style are probably not suitable for the current situation. Obviously, your younger generation's baseline technology is more advanced and better, so it should not be difficult to beat me."

"Also, I wasn't sure if I was qualified to be a coach. Every time I saw a player yelling at the coach when he didn't perform well on the field, the only thing I could think of was, 'You're the one who hit the ball, don't blame me.'"

There was a burst of laughter.

Only Agassi didn't smile, his expression was still very serious.

"But I think you're right about what you said."

"What a coach teaches his players is not techniques or tactics, but the understanding of tennis. Since Pete, a player who has been eliminated by the times, can be your coach, then I should be able to do it too. I want to give it a try and see what sparks our understanding of tennis can create."

Agassi made a harsh remark to Sampras without making any effort to understate the issue.

"Hey! Old man!" Sampras couldn't bear it and expressed his strong protest directly.

Gao Wen very wisely ignored Sampras, with a smile in his eyes, and just looked at Agassi, "Welcome."

Just one short word says it all.

"So, Andre, are you ready? My offseason has already begun."

"You mean, now?" Agassi was a little flustered.

"Of course, coach." Gao Wen changed his words, and the address changed, and then he continued speaking.

"We should hurry up."

"You know, those reporters will get wind of this and will soon smell fishy. I believe that the news of your being here will spread out in no time. By then, our training ground will be surrounded."

"But before the flies start buzzing, there is still a little time left. We should seize the time and start training."

At the beginning, the news that Sampras officially took over as Gowan's head coach caused a huge stir; now with the addition of Agassi, I'm afraid it will be even more earth-shattering.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Gao Wen remained clear-headed about this.

Of course, Tobias will be responsible for dealing with the media, and off-season training will not be interrupted, but a day of peace is a day, and we should really seize the time.

not to mention--

"Coach, every day of the offseason is precious, don't you think?"

Calm, wise, determined, positive and high-spirited.

The Gawain in front of him was the same as he remembered, but he was more real and more vivid. Agassi had more confidence in his decision.

But Agassi wasn't good with words and hadn't figured out how to respond, and then Graf gave Agassi a perfect push.

"That's great. Gawain should continue with the training. Andre and Pete should discuss the specific training plan."

"However, if you want to fight, it's best to do it in the locker room and don't interfere with Gao Wen's training. I will be here to train with Gao Wen."

Sampras glanced at Agassi. Actually, he still had a lot of things he wanted to complain about, but after thinking about Gawain, he held back.

Turning around, Sampras walked to the side and waved.

"Come on, old man. Baseline training and net training plan. We still have a lot to discuss."

Agassi kissed Graf on the cheek and followed.

The sound of the wind brought the conversation between two people.

"...I think Gao Wen's serve needs some special training to improve its power and slightly modify his serve to increase his strength and speed."

"Oh? It's rare that we think the same way. I thought the same thing..."

Graf looked at Gawain and said with a smile, "Don't worry about them. They have been fighting for their whole lives. At most they will sprain their arms or thighs. No one will die. Just focus on training."
