Chapter 972: With ease
Haha!
Ha ha ha ha!
The laughter continued, wave after wave, and couldn't be stopped. In a blink of an eye, the players' lounge turned into a party scene, and the only thing missing was a glass of champagne.
Mrs. King bumped Navratilova's shoulder and said, "Martina, now you have found your match. This kid is a sharp talker."
Navratilova was squeezed, but she was not angry at all. She even showed a satisfied smile. "This is called succession. Look at Roger and Rafa. They can only play Tai Chi. The press conference is so boring."
Even a senior of Navratilova's level can easily make fun of Federer and Nadal.
"I hope this kid can be more powerful. Next time he sees a reporter, he can just talk back to me. Those guys are so arrogant even if they are not given any color. How can they be so brilliant when they are given a little color?" Navratilova is a tough person, even when she was a professional player.
How did the nickname "Female King Kong" come about? In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Evert dominated the women's professional tennis world, while Martina Navratilova, who was two years younger, was a rising star.
In the early stage of her career, Navratilova was always at a disadvantage. Later, she began to build up her strong physique and her whole playing style became more masculine. Not only did she win the title of "Female King Kong", but she also slowly reversed her disadvantage against Evert. Later, she won 13 consecutive victories against Evert.
However, looking at their entire careers, Navratilova and Evert's record against each other is evenly matched. They are also known as "the greatest rivals of the 20th century". For a very long time, the two were either number one or number two in the world, and the competition was fierce.
It was also because of this that a rift appeared between the two people who were once close friends. The competition on the court affected both of them. It was not until Graf's sudden emergence that changed the landscape of tennis and the two people who were no longer burdened by fame reconciled.
Looking at Navratilova's style, we can get a glimpse of her private character: tough enough, straightforward enough, and open enough.
When facing reporters, Navratilova can often choke people to death.
At this time, Evert and Navratilova were still very good friends, so they naturally did not hold back when it came to making complaints, and Evert directly fought back.
"Your next suggestion should be to get this kid into the boxing ring and fight the reporter for thirteen rounds, right?"
Navratilova glared back, "You were also on fire in the show, and you were talking about me, knocking out with one move, and your majestic appearance has already gone viral."
At this moment——
"Oh, I seem to have broken into a party. Is it too late for me to turn around and leave now?" Jimmy Courier appeared in front of everyone in a suit and tie with a bright smile.
Tobias is no longer surprised. One GOAT is exciting, two GOATs is a surprise, but when a group of GOATs gather together, the party scene is completely different.
Despite this, Tobias couldn't help but sigh: Gawain is indeed a likable person.
This five and a half hour fierce battle tonight should have won Gao Wen countless fans. Just look at the noisy scene in front of you and you will know the reason.
Courier is a deadpan comedian who has signed a long-term agreement with the Australian Open and is active at Rod Laver Arena every year as a special guest for on-court interviews.
This year is no exception.
Having barged into the party without warning, Courier became the center of attention, but he seemed very worried and calm, and was even in a light-hearted mood to joke.
He said he was going to leave, but he walked straight in without stopping. "Wait, where's our champion? I'm planning to make my own mark in history."
It was only a little too late for everyone to realize that the protagonist had disappeared while they were talking.
It's not that Gao Wen's presence is too weak, but it's a Hall of Fame level gathering. Sampras, Agassi, and Courier are all juniors, and even they can't handle the situation. One or two of them are old acquaintances, and they started chattering, and the topic shifted.
At this time, after Collier's reminder, everyone started searching, and then they saw Gawain returning to the bicycle trainer.
this……
Even Pelt had a dislocated jaw, while Sampras and the others just lowered their heads and laughed secretly.
If it were someone else, in such an occasion, they would want to stand directly under the spotlight and be the center of attention; even if it were not someone else, they should still be polite and accompany everyone.
But Gao Wen was so good that he actually had the leisure time to continue training, leaving these legendary players aside.
If you think about it, this is typical of Gawain.
Everyone looked at each other, unable to react.
Gao Wen, who became the focus of attention again, was not in a hurry and had a calm expression.
"Oh, I just feel that this place doesn't seem to be suitable for me. Sorry, I came to the wrong place. I am looking for a means of escape."
Whoosh.
Whoosh.
As he spoke, Gawain pedaled harder and harder, the wheel spinning rapidly, and a grunting sound came out of his mouth. His focused expression and all-out eyes looked as if he was participating in the mountain stage of the Tour de France, wiping the non-existent sweat from his forehead.
vivid!
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Instantly, the whole audience burst into laughter.
One after another, these legendary figures finally left slowly. They all needed to go back and rest.
Before leaving, Evert slowed down a little, came to Gawain again, opened his arms and gave Gawain a hug, whispered a few words in his ear, and then turned and left.
Sampras was a little surprised as he watched Evert leave. "What did Chris say to you? So mysterious?"
Gao Wen could deeply feel Evert's sincere concern, and a smile rose on his face. "She said that in the future, more and more people will hope that you will fail, but don't let them succeed."
"Challenger" is always like this.
Back then, Evert emerged as a young challenger who not only had to challenge the dominance of a group of top players, but also had to challenge the world of one-handed backhand.
She has always been under unimaginable pressure.
From an unknown young player to a powerful ice princess, Evert's thin and weak shoulders have experienced wave after wave of storms.
Now, in Gawain, Evert sees his former self, as can be seen from the overwhelming attacks and boos at this year's Australian Open.
Because Gao Wen needs to challenge the "Big Four".
The reality is very interesting: people are always clamoring that the younger generation will step forward and break the rule of the Big Four; but when young people really emerge, people expect the Big Four to withstand the impact and continue to consolidate their rule.
This is true not only for fans of the Big Four, but also for ordinary fans, because they have become accustomed to the existence of the Big Four, and because they are eager to witness the Big Four continue to make history in the face of even stronger shocks.
Such a contradictory mentality also determines that Gawain and Wawrinka still have a long way to go.
Especially after the Australian Open, while Gao Wen won a large number of supporters, he also attracted a large number of opponents.
Sampras and Agassi exchanged glances, with a faint smile in their eyes, a little relieved and a little proud: one challenge is over, and there will be a series of challenges to come. In a trance, they seemed to have returned to the time when they were professional players.
