For professional tennis players, the ability to resist interference is a very important skill, because interference from live audiences is always an objective and unavoidable thing.
Even the four Grand Slams are no exception.
Wimbledon still retains a century-old tradition and its good spectator etiquette is a model, but the other three events each have their own problems.
Of course, the French Open and Australian Open have always advocated observance of spectator etiquette, and their audiences also hope to abide by it. Noise and noise are not too serious, but——
The French Open audience likes to complain about controversial decisions, injury timeouts, service timeouts, unexpected situations, etc., and they will boo without hesitation; moreover, those curses and ridicules are very sharp and mean, and have driven participating players to collapse more than once.
He even burst into tears at the scene.
The Australian Open audience likes it very much... Come on, from a positive perspective, this is enthusiasm; but from a negative perspective, it is noisy. Especially in games where local players play, the enthusiastic cheers on the scene are regardless of time and time.
The location is so good it can make your ears bleed.
Therefore, in general, spectators still hope to abide by the etiquette of watching games, but unexpected situations are still inevitable.
As for the US Open, haha.
The etiquette of watching games is basically non-existent. Not only do you stand up and walk around at will, but you also don't keep quiet when the game is in progress. Eating snacks, talking on the phone, whispering, etc. are commonplace, and there are even quarrels and fights.
When the ball is in progress, there will also be interference from the audience shouting "out of bounds", which is basically the atmosphere of a hypermarket.
It is precisely because of this that interference is everywhere, even in the Grand Slams, and daily tours are no exception. Every player needs to practice his patience.
But this is obviously not an easy task. After all, the Clay Bodhisattva still has three points of anger.
As for Gawain in front of him, he left a good impression on Graf after only one brief encounter.
Graf quietly observed Gawain for a while, with a glimmer of appreciation in his eyes.
It wasn't until the training session at hand was completed that Gawain put down the water bag, called out to Peart, and the two of them walked over together.
"Hey, good concentration."
Without waiting for Gawain to say hello, Graf took the lead and said something with a smile, which also interrupted the argument between Agassi and Sampras, and everyone focused their attention.
Gawain was sweating profusely, as if he had just been fished out of the water, his cheeks were red, and he was panting like an ox. The water bag training seemed simple, but in fact the whole consumption was very intense, and he needed to take a breather.
The brain was somewhat deprived of oxygen and could not keep up with its rotation speed. It took him half a beat to realize what Graf meant. Gawain chuckled and pointed at himself.
"If a set of training is not completed, the training effect cannot be achieved, which also means that we need to start over."
"I'm already embarrassed enough. To be honest, I want to be lazy, so I grit my teeth and finish it."
A small joke, combined with a helpless expression with his hands spread out, successfully made everyone laugh, and then Gawain looked at Agassi.
"Andre, thank you very much for joining my team. It's an honor."
"For my mother, this should be an even more incredible thing than winning a Grand Slam. I think she can finally tell everyone openly that her decision to let me learn tennis was a wise and correct decision."
ha!
Agassi showed a somewhat reserved and shy smile again, touched his bald head, but did not be polite to Gawain.
"I'm a little unsure."
"Because my hitting method and playing style are no longer suitable for the current situation. Obviously, your younger generation's baseline skills are more advanced and better. It shouldn't be difficult to beat me."
"Also, I'm not sure whether I can handle the role of coach. Every time I see a player yelling at the coach when he's not performing well on the court, the only thought in my mind is, 'You are the one who hits the ball.
,don’t blame me’.”
A group of people laughed.
Only Agassi did not laugh, his expression remained very serious.
"But I think one thing you said is right."
"What the coach imparts to the players is not technology or tactics, but the understanding of tennis. Since Pete, a player who has been eliminated by the times, can serve as your coach, then I should be able to, too. I want to give it a try and see how we
What sparks can come from understanding tennis?"
In an understatement, Agassi complained harshly about Sampras.
"Hey! Old guy!" Sampras couldn't bear it and directly protested strongly.
Gawain very wisely ignored Sampras, with a smile surging in his eyes, and just looked at Agassi, "Welcome."
One short word said everything.
"So, Andre, are you ready? My offseason has begun."
"You mean, now?" Agassi panicked.
"Of course, coach." Gawain changed his words accordingly, his title had changed, and then he continued.
"We should hurry up."
"You know, those reporters will smell the fishy smell soon. I believe it won't take long for the news that you are here to spread. By then, our training ground will be surrounded."
"However, there is still a small gap before the flies buzz and make endless noises. We should seize the time to invest in training."
At the beginning, the news that Sampras officially took over as the head coach of Gowan caused a stir; now that Agassi is added to the mix, the situation will probably turn upside down.
In this regard, Gawain always remained awake.
Of course, Tobias will be responsible for dealing with the media, and offseason training will not be interrupted, but one day at a time, we should seize the time.
not to mention--
"Coach, every day of the offseason is precious, what do you think?"
Calm, wise, determined, positive, and high-spirited.
The Gawain in front of him was the same as in his impression, but more real and vivid. Agassi gained more confidence in his decision.
But Agassi was not good at words, and he didn't think of how to respond, so Graf gave Agassi just the right push.
"Just in time, Gao Wen continues to complete the training just now. Andre and Peter should discuss the specific training plan."
"However, if you want to fight, you'd better go to the locker room and don't interfere with Gawain's training. I will train with Gawain here."
Sampras glanced at Agassi. In fact, he still had many things he wanted to complain about and was about to do it; but after thinking about Gawain, he finally held back.
Turning around, Sampras walked to the side and waved.
"Old guy, come here, we have baseline training and net training plans. We still have many things to discuss."
Agassi kissed Graf on the cheek and followed suit.
The wind brought the conversation between two people.
"...I think Gao Wen's serve needs special training to increase its power and slightly modify his serving action to increase his strength and speed."
"Oh? It's rare that we actually thought of going together. I thought so too..."
Graf looked at Gawain and said with a smile, "Don't worry about them. They have been fighting and fighting all their lives. At most, they will sprain their arms and strain their thighs. No one will die. Just concentrate on your training."
