MacDonald was so excited that his voice could not help but tremble slightly. No matter what, it was a rare opportunity to play against professional players, not to mention that the opponents were the best among their peers. This was a good way to test their own level.
That said, it is undoubtedly a good opportunity.
In the bustling place, before Gawain had time to speak to MacDonald, he was already pushed out by the enthusiastic audience around him. It seemed that they were even more excited than Gawain.
Gawain was slightly nervous, but also slightly looking forward to it.
Kyrgios's notoriety aside, his talent and strength are indeed outstanding.
Later, it was not without reason that Kyrgios became the first player born in 1995 to win an ATP championship in the world, and was even ahead of a large number of rookies born in 1995 who successively made history and achieved great results.
Even now, Kyrgios is in his first year as a professional and his year-end ranking has reached 182nd, which proves that his current strength far exceeds that of his peers.
Currently, there are approximately 2,100 professional players with points worldwide——
You need to reach at least the third round of the lowest level hope tournament to have a ranking point and enter the world ranking list.
Among the more than 2,100 players, most players have been participating in low-level hope tournaments and challenge tournaments all year round. It is difficult to see them in ATP-level tours. Therefore, their points are often the same.
Hovering between digits or double digits, as long as you can rank among the top 200, you are already a backbone in the professional arena.
Djokovic once said that in fact, the gap between the top 100 professional players is not as huge as imagined. The deviation of one or two points, the ups and downs of state, and the quality of on-the-spot performance.
Winning or losing is a normal outcome.
At the beginning of the year, before Kyrgios turned professional, he had already won his first Challenger Championship at the age of seventeen; and by the end of the year, Kyrgios had already broken into the top two hundred in the world rankings.
Although Gawain's strength has grown rapidly in recent times, objectively speaking, at this stage, Kyrgios is still at the level of a little giant. Especially Kyrgios's physical talent is very outstanding and he can easily suppress Gawain.
, it is very difficult to fight against.
Confidence is confidence, but it is not blind confidence. Only by facing up to your own strength and the gap between your opponents can you find better game tactics and then continuously improve yourself. Facing Kyrgios, Gao Wen still lacks confidence.
Thinking about what I should do.
The only good thing is that this is a charity exhibition match, not a formal match.
Kyrgios's eyes sparkled with a playful light, and he was high up, just like a cat playing with a mouse. The old god was watching every move of the mouse.
That look makes people very uncomfortable.
"Hey man, what's up, are you ready? Let's get some excitement?"
Kyrgios took the initiative to raise his eyebrows at Gawain, and while waiting for Gawain to approach, he looked Gawain up and down with his peripheral vision——
In terms of height and weight, Kyrgios and Gawain are basically the same, 193 centimeters, but Kyrgios is slightly heavier, 85 kilograms, but the muscle content is another matter. It can be clearly felt that Kyrgios is more muscular.
Explosive power, the lines are fuller and tighter.
Kyrgios lowered the corners of his mouth, seemingly surprised that Gawain's height was actually the same as his own, and then he whispered in Gawain's ear.
"If I beat you to tears, you wouldn't complain, right?"
Gawain was also stunned - he had never dealt with someone with such a style. He was inexplicable from beginning to end. He had no idea what was wrong with him, but instead of being angry, he felt ridiculous.
.
So, Gawain also replied, "Why didn't I know that you are the type who likes to complain? So, you are saying that your father beat you to tears, are you going to complain to your mother?"
After saying that, Gawain also raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of joking in his eyes. He ignored Kyrgios and turned around and walked to the side.
Without looking back, Gawain could deeply feel Kyrgios's hot and sharp gaze on his back, almost gritting his teeth.
Now it is basically certain that it is impossible to be friendly and cordial in charity exhibition matches. Not to mention that professional players will show mercy. These basic principles have his own interpretation in Kyrgios's dictionary. No one knows that Kyrgios
What would Kyrgios do?
However, Gawain is not a soft persimmon to be pinched casually, so be careful with your teeth.
Raonic was standing nearby. He did not hear the conversation between Gawain and Kyrgios, but he seemed to be able to feel the small sparks floating in the air.
"How are you?"
Raonic lowered his voice and asked Gawain politely. Although his expression was a little reserved, his eyes were very sincere.
Gawain showed a slight smile.
"I'm fine, just a little excited. Opportunities like this don't come often."
The light joking made Raonic purse his lips shyly and slightly nodded his head.
One after another, the four professional players have invited fans to the stage, and then the host is ready to conduct a fan sparring session.
The first one to appear is... the least anticipated but most anticipated "Kyrgios vs. Gawain".
The reason why it is said to be the least worth looking forward to is because Kyrgios is the smallest player and there are almost no fans who come specifically for him.
The reason why it is said to be the most anticipated is because the other three players all followed the style of charity exhibition games and invited special audiences. It was obvious at a glance that they were preparing to provide fan service and there was no confrontation. But Gao Wen was different.
Gawain's height and build are very close to Kyrgios's, and Kyrgios's world ranking is also the lowest among the charity exhibition guests. Does this mean that sparring may be a little confrontational?
Compared to game-like interactions, the audience is still looking forward to a little confrontational collision. If fans can overturn professional players, that would be... fun.
Ho ho ho!
Ahhhh!
Ouch!
The audience at the scene began to get excited one by one, screaming and cheering one after another, and Macdonald even raised his arms happily and shouted, "Up! Brown bear! Up!"
The atmosphere was extremely lively, even Venus, Sharapova and others came to look over.
"This fan...what's your name?"
"Gawain!"
"Hoho, Gawain, very good! It can be seen that our audience is ready and looking forward to a wonderful showdown. How about it, are you ready?"
"Is it too late for me to warm up now?"
"Haha, our fans are very humorous. Next, we will have a five-point duel. The rules are the same as the tie-break. The fans will serve first and get one point; then the professional players will serve and get two points; and finally the fans will serve and get two points.
, a total of five points, the side with more points wins."
