Little Zverev didn't want to see Gawain's face, not even for a second, and even eye contact felt like a waste.
What about a handshake?
Just a thought in his mind: he needed to shake hands with Gawain, congratulate him on his victory, show respect and observe etiquette, and his stomach began to burn.
He could imagine Gawain being complacent, arrogant, condescending, and gloating about his misfortunes. He looked at him as if he were a pitiful creature. Whether it was ridicule or attack, his words and eyes showed a kind of pity, and there was no need to use full firepower.
It was enough to destroy his pride.
His embarrassment, his shame, and his embarrassment are firmly left in ATP history.
ah!
Ahhh!
Zverev's chest is almost about to explode, but he can't show it now. Any trace of it will become a weapon for others to attack him.
Quick victory.
This is the only thought in little Zverev's mind.
Raise your hand.
touch.
Get out.
Little Zverev was like facing a patient with an infectious disease. As soon as his palm touched Gawain's friendly right hand, he was already ready to pull away.
but!
Something unexpected happened.
Snapped!
Zverev's right hand, which he was about to pull away, was firmly grasped, and he was stunned——
It was so unexpected and sudden that I couldn't react. I raised my head suddenly and saw Gawain's eyes.
Gawain firmly grasped Zverev's right hand, then adjusted it slightly to complete the handshake with the correct posture, showing courtesy and respect.
At the same time, Gawain stared at little Zverev with wide eyes and sincere eyes, just like a kindergarten teacher teaching children the correct way to shake hands:
Wave your hands, once, twice.
Hold tightly.
Also, eye contact, you need to look the other person in the eye. Maybe there is no need to speak, but eye contact is very important. This is etiquette.
do you understand?
Gao Wen taught Zverev step by step the correct way to shake hands after the game, then raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in a very patient and kind way:
Little kid Sasha, have you learned it now?
Zverev Jr:…
Gawain didn't get any response, and he didn't mind. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, broke out into a bright smile, and spoke first.
“Keep up the good work next time.”
Zverev Jr:…
But Gawain no longer waited for little Zverev to respond, and shook his hand again, using his palms slightly to express the handshake action with strength.
Let go, turn around, take a step.
Gao Wen walked to the referee, smiled, shook hands after the game, expressed his thanks, and then went straight to his dugout.
Little Zverev was left alone behind, messy in the wind——
What...what's going on?
Little Zverev kept his right hand hanging in the air, his eyes full of question marks, like a fool, looking left and right, his brain seemed to have lost the ability to process information.
After two full beats, little Zverev's brain started to work again. He couldn't believe what had just happened, and he looked down at his palms blankly.
So, what did Gawain just do?
The anger and frustration finally broke out.
Zverev raised his head and looked at the referee, his eyes widened, "Did you see it? Did you see what the hell he just did? Why didn't you stop it?"
The thing happened right under the nose of the referee, how could he not see it?
But the problem is-
Did Gawain do something wrong?
No.
Absolutely not.
To be precise, Gawain completed the post-match etiquette of a gentleman and taught the correct etiquette to little Zverev, which is worthy of recognition.
Moreover, Gawain always kept a smile, did not curse or use any provocative language, everything was in line with the standards, and he should even be given applause and encouragement.
Of course, the referee also understood Zverev's reaction, because Gawain's actions and words were really... so unexpected.
The referee calmed down the corners of his mouth that were about to rise, looked at Zverev, nodded seriously and gave an affirmative answer.
"Yes, I saw it, but Mr. Gawain did not break any rules..."
"Shit."
Before the referee could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zverev, and his anger could no longer be suppressed, like a volcano erupting.
"You beep beep beep...", "This XXX is just a joke..."
A lot of foul language.
Tennis is a gentleman's sport. According to the rules of the game, if a player swears during the game, the referee has the right to give a warning.
However, times are advancing, and referees usually turn a blind eye when they hear foul language. As long as the players do not directly yell at the referee, the audience or opponents, and do not cause conflicts, then they will not be so
Strictly enforce this rule.
After all, players are also ordinary people. They will be angry, frustrated, angry, annoyed and vented.
but!
If a player speaks rudely to the referee directly, it is tantamount to challenging the referee's authority, which is another matter.
One second ago, the referee had a slight smile in his eyes, feeling happy because of Gawain's actions.
The next second, the referee became gloomy and his whole expression dropped completely.
"Mr. Zverev, now that the game is over, I will not give you a warning, but I will record your behavior in a book and report it to the ATP. Please pay attention to your words and deeds..."
Before he could finish his words, Zverev interrupted again.
"Grass!"
“Shoo, slop, slop!”
The emotions that were suppressed and repressed, controlled and controlled throughout the game finally broke out.
Shh!
The scene was filled with boos.
In fact, many viewers had seen the scene just now, and looked at Gao Wen's expression as if he was educating a kindergarten child, and kept laughing.
Now I see little Zverev expressing his dissatisfaction by swearing and even making things difficult for the referee. Such behavior immediately triggered ridicule and complaints from the audience——
Children, can’t you be a loser?
Little Zverev looked at the overwhelming boos in front of him. He couldn't understand why everyone was attacking him? It was obviously Gawain who did the wrong thing!
Originally, after the game, it was supposed to be an occasion for Gawain to celebrate his victory. As a result, little Zverev found a way to make him the center of attention and steal the winner's halo.
This can be considered an ability...right?
After the game, the ATP issued a fine immediately.
Although Zverev's behavior did not rise to the level of a physical conflict, and the incident occurred after the game and was less serious than expected, the ATP still fined Zverev $2,000 and gave him a fine of $2,000 on the grounds of "lack of competitive sportsmanship."
Zverev gave a warning that if he does it again next time, the punishment will be doubled.
Such a trend is really unexpected.
No one expected that the game itself was lackluster. Gao Wen swept through the army and once won ten games in a row, taking the lead and completely destroying Zverev. However, after the game, there were explosive points one after another, and the fun only started after the game was over.
The prologue——
The easter eggs are more exciting than the main film.
And, this is still not all.
At the post-match press conference, both Zverev and Gao Wen were surrounded by reporters. However, what they never expected was that there would be follow-up in the locker room!
