Chapter 784 Let It All Out
"In fact, I was the one who invited Gawain..."
Huh.
Faintly, one could hear the reporters at the scene gasp in surprise. They had not expected such an answer at all.
Given the status of the Big Four today, inviting any player to be a training partner could make news, let alone a doubles partner?
However, before Nadal could finish his words, he noticed the surprised expressions of the reporters in the audience, and their eyes were silently converging towards him.
This also interrupted Nadal's train of thought. He turned his head and looked in the direction of everyone's gaze, and then saw Gawain's face full of surprise: it was as if he heard the news for the first time.
Nadal burst out laughing.
"hehe."
"Gawain, you should listen to me."
"In fact, it was me who took the initiative to invite Gawain for batting practice. I think Gawain is a player with potential, strength and inspiration. Watching him play, I can often learn something new, just like facing Roger, so I think this is a good idea."
"Gawain very generously and graciously agreed."
"Not only did he agree, but Gao Wen also replied that he was going to participate in a doubles match and was looking for a partner, so he asked me if I would be willing to partner with him in doubles. I thought it would be an interesting attempt."
“I always like to play doubles in Doha at the beginning of the season and it will be a new experience if I can play with Gao Wen.”
"So, I agreed."
That’s all?
The reporters in the press conference room were clearly stunned. To be more precise, they were in a state of emptiness: they were full of expectations and curiosity. They had thought that there would be some interesting and interesting details behind the story, but...
That’s it?
It was so lame! At this moment, Gao Wen, who had been sitting quietly beside him, raised his right hand, just like a primary school student raising his hand to speak in class, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Including Nadal.
Then, Gawain said with a serious face.
"I agree with everything Rafa said, except Roger's statement, which I ask everyone not to take seriously."
Roger?
Which sentence of Roger?
In a flash, all the reporters in the audience began to recall Nadal's words, searching carefully for the part about "Roger", and finally understood it after a long delay.
Puff.
There were reporters at the scene who couldn't control themselves and burst out laughing.
It started with one laugh, and then it became contagious, with laughter rising one after another.
Nadal's answer was originally very conventional, without any explosive points. Even if he wanted to write a short story about the origin of the two people's partnership, he couldn't make up a story. There was no room at all.
And now, the atmosphere at the entire press conference immediately became light and lively, and was filled with joy.
Nadal himself took a moment to react.
After all, he did not have such an intuitive experience of his own words, and it was difficult to recall them immediately. As a result, Gawain reminded him in his ear and clarified his position again. Nadal could not help but burst into laughter, and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes accumulated densely.
As expected, Gawain is worthy of being Gawain, and he does have the ability to turn decay into magic.
Yu Jia's nervous and anxious mood also calmed down a little, and he was finally able to enjoy the atmosphere of the press conference, but he still couldn't relax completely because he was still waiting for his chance to ask questions.
In other words, it doesn't matter if he doesn't ask questions himself, as reporters from other news agencies can raise them.
But the problem is, no, no, and still no, which makes Yu Jia confused. Doesn't anyone care? "Hello, Yu Jia, I'm Gao Wen, a reporter from CCTV..."
The opportunity finally came, but because I was too excited, I made a mistake in my self-introduction. After I said it, I was stunned for a moment and then I realized that something was wrong.
"Sorry, Gao Wen, I'm Yu Jia..."
Ha ha.
There was a burst of good-natured laughter in the press conference room, and Yu Jia felt a little embarrassed.
As a result, Gawain, who was sitting right in front, interrupted.
"Thank you for helping me realize my dream."
"I majored in journalism in college and have always wanted to become a professional journalist. I thought this dream might never come true, but I never expected it to become a reality in Doha today. Maybe Aladdin's lamp really does exist."
One second, two seconds, three seconds——
There was thunderous applause.
Thanks to Gao Wen's wit and humor, he easily rescued Yu Jia from the predicament and livened up the atmosphere on the scene.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
It's really rare.
Amidst the applause and smiles, many reporters exchanged glances with each other:
Now I finally understand why it is always so difficult to interview Gao Wen. It turns out that he is from the same industry! This is also an unexpected gain.
Yu Jia looked at Gao Wen's slightly upturned smile and signaled with his eyes, and his excitement and joyful mood calmed down a little.
"Gao Wen, I would like to ask, during the offseason, Andre Agassi officially joined your team. What do you think? What does Pete Sampras think about this?"
"Also, from yesterday's practice and today's match, are you adjusting your serve? If so, is this a change that Agassi brought to you? Does this mean that in the next match, you might change your tactics a little bit and try some net tactics?"
"Also, having had the best debut season since John McEnroe, does that bring any pressure? What are your expectations for this season? First of all, the upcoming Australian season, do you think you are the favorite to win? What are your expectations for yourself?"
"And then..."
Questions kept coming one after another.
At this moment, the enthusiasm of the reporters on the scene was ignited. They did not forget that besides Nadal, Gawain was also the king of topics.
The focus news of this off-season came one after another, and each one was more important than the last. The news that Agassi joined Gao Wen's team alone made it to the homepage of the ATP official website, triggering a frenzy of discussion in the entire industry, and even made it to the hot search list in one go. The North American market was even more excited.
Judging from the nature of the topic alone, Gawain has received far more attention than the Big Four, and the endless stream of topics is truly overwhelming.
But Tobias refused all the interviews on the grounds of off-season training, which made the reporters feel frustrated.
The above are just the tip of the iceberg.
Yu Jia was a little anxious. Once he started talking, he couldn't stop. All the words came out at once, and the crackling sound was like popcorn popping.
"Wait, wait..."
Gao Wen raised his hand to stop Yu Jia.
Yu Jia's words were stuck in the middle, and he looked at Gao Wen with wide eyes, wondering what had happened.
As a result, Gao Wen looked around and searched the desktop, but to no avail.
Gawain spread his hands, his face full of regret.
"I tried to find a piece of paper and a pen to write down the questions. There are too many questions. One, two, three, four, five. I'm not sure my brain can keep up with the speed of your questions."
"So, does this mean my dream of being a journalist is over now?"
