The smoothly driving vehicle seemed calm and quiet, and the world flowed backwards like a gurgling stream. I rolled down the window a little, and glanced at the sky through the gap. Thick dark clouds shrouded the sky tightly, and the mountains and mountains were unexpectedly steep.
Revealing some dignity.
"It looks like it's going to rain. What if it rains?"
Gawain muttered to himself, and Tobias, who was sitting across from him in the back seat of the limousine, looked up at Gawain and raised the corners of his mouth.
"Don't worry, this is London. They have long been accustomed to the weather of four seasons in a day. At least they are more familiar with it than you. They know what to do."
London, this is Gao Wen's second visit to this city full of history. Last year's year-end finals left bittersweet memories here. In the blink of an eye, six months later, he returned to this city again.
Weather is undoubtedly London's world-famous "feature".
The sun was shining one second, and it was stormy the next; it was still hot summer in the morning, and severe winter in the afternoon. Such a description is a bit unbelievable, but it is very appropriate. The four seasons in a day are the characteristics -
Because of strong winds and humidity, London can experience the changes of spring, summer, autumn and winter in one day, and city residents have long been accustomed to it.
Therefore, a waterproof windbreaker is a must-have item for everyone in London, not because of fashion, but because it can keep out wind and rain at any time.
Moreover, a very, very special point is that people don’t like umbrellas. This is not because of pretending to be cool. Firstly, it is because the heavy rain often lasts for a short time and may stop after turning the corner; secondly, because of the strong wind, it is difficult to hold an umbrella in
It is difficult to walk on a rainy day and may even be overturned. Umbrellas only add unnecessary trouble and potential danger.
Naturally, the windproof and waterproof function of the windbreaker is particularly practical; at the same time, different outfits and combinations are also found in the streets and alleys. One second, there are people wearing short sleeves passing by, and the next second, they see figures wearing coats. This
It also makes London’s fashion shine brightly.
It is conceivable that Wimbledon, just outside London, is also famous for its changeable weather, even more frequent than in Paris——
“It wouldn’t be Wimbledon without rain”.
Having just arrived in London in the evening, Gawain could already feel the change in the weather.
The bright summer in Eastbourne is full of the refreshing sea water and the laziness of the heat. I can't help but want to wander in the green sky. Training under the sun is full of dryness, and now it is filled with humidity.
With the coldness and vast swaths of gray occupying the field of vision, it is hard to believe that the two cities are only an hour's drive apart.
It’s no wonder that countless people go to Eastbourne for holiday and call it the sunniest and brightest corner of Great Britain.
"Ah, I just left, and I already started to miss him." Gawain complained half-jokingly, "Now I finally know what Roger meant. At Wimbledon, waiting for the rain to stop is the same thing."
This Roger is not Rashid, but Federer.
Tobias couldn't hold back and rolled his eyes, "Dear Gawain, we have been discussing tennis from morning to night, and the next two weeks will also be about tennis. At least we can put tennis aside for a little bit tonight.
"
Gawain did not speak, but looked at the sky outside the car window again.
Tobias could understand at a glance, "Don't say you regret it now?"
"Haha." Gawain laughed heartily, and it seemed that Tobias was right.
Today, an ordinary Wednesday, Gao Wen and Dimitrov left Eastbourne and returned to London to prepare for the upcoming Queen's Club Cup——
The Queen's Club Cup is held in London. The competition venue is located in West Kensington in the West End of central London. This is a high-end community with a profound heritage, gathering aristocrats and celebrities, and it is definitely worth every inch of land. The event has been held since 1885.
It can be seen from the venue that tennis was a purely aristocratic sport in the very beginning.
The venue conditions and weather conditions of the event are the closest to Wimbledon, making it the perfect choice to prepare for Wimbledon.
Just as Monte Carlo is known as the weathervane of Roland Garros, the Queen's Club Cup is also known as the weathervane of Wimbledon, but the situation is slightly different -
Because the four giants have signed contracts with different grass-court events, only Murray comes to the Queen's Club Cup regularly every year. The other three giants need to look at the specific situation, so the winner of the Queen's Club Cup is not necessarily the favorite to win Wimbledon.
.
But there is no doubt that reaching the top spot at Queen's Club means that Wimbledon's future is bright.
Last year, Dimitrov won the title in West Kensington, and then had a breakthrough at Wimbledon; the year before that, Murray was crowned the Queen's Club Cup champion, and then won the championship at Wimbledon; the year before that, Cilic was the winner of this event
The champion of the tournament then reached the fourth round at Wimbledon for the first time.
It is precisely because of this that top players are willing to come to London to compete.
This year is no exception——
Djokovic was in a rest period after losing the French Open final and announced that he would miss all grass-court warm-up events and flew to Wimbledon to prepare to defend his title.
Federer signed a ten-year playing agreement with Germany's Harley. His warm-up matches on grass are always with Harley, and this year is the same.
Then, Nadal and Murray both arrived in London to compete, and Wawrinka, Gavin, Dimitrov, Cilic, Simon and other players also signed up. In addition, Raonic, who returned from injury, also chose Queen's Club.
As the grassland season begins, the participating lineup is star-studded.
Step by step, the grassland season is getting closer and closer.
However, tonight, tennis needs to take a back seat temporarily, Gawain has a special event——
London premiere of "Mission: Impossible 5".
The invitation came from Tom-Cruise, the star of the series, which means that the legendary star personally invited Gawain to attend the premiere.
Of course, Gawain didn't believe it, and those polite words were not believable. In Gawain's opinion, this should be an event arranged by Tobias and his sponsors.
Although Gawain is not interested, he knows that cooperating with sponsors' activities is part of his job and he needs to perform corresponding responsibilities.
So, when he arrived in London from Eastbourne, before he had time to look into his hotel room, a makeup and styling team surrounded him, and he was on his way to the premiere.
At a glance, Tobias could see Gawain's hesitation.
Seeing the speechless expression of Tobias rolling his eyes, Gawain showed a smile in his eyes and raised his hands to express surrender, "John, I just think that this is not my field, and I don't think the audience comes to the cinema just for me.
"
"Although I am talking about culture and sports, to be honest, now I look like a little traffic kid who sneaked here just to gain popularity. I obviously have nothing to do with the movie but I insist on squeezing in to show my face to gain traffic and popularity. By the way
Test the thickness of your skin."
As he spoke, Gao Wen's mind came to those "movie publicity ambassadors" traffic niches. Not only did they have nothing to do with the released movies, they didn't even have any masterpieces to speak of, so they relied on traffic to move around the entertainment industry.
