It wasn't until he left the reporters and fans and turned a corner into the tunnel of the training ground that he finally couldn't hold back his laughter anymore and burst out with a burst of laughter.
Haha...hahaha!
Steffi Graf and Jiang Yanyun laughed heartily. Agassi and Gao Hongli were not so exaggerated but also had smiles on their faces, and their laughter continued to surge.
"Have you seen their expressions..." Jiang Yanyun gestured to his cheek, recalling the still scene where all the reporters were stunned.
so funny.
Graf also nodded repeatedly, "They must have been frightened by Andre. They didn't expect Hongli to do the same thing. Haha, the effect is really..."
The Australian Open has not yet started, but it is certain that the first hot topic has already been born, and I am afraid that the following press conferences should also be very lively.
Agassi touched his bald head and showed an apologetic smile to Gao Hongli, "Sorry, I really didn't think much about it just now..."
After Agassi thought carefully, he felt that he seemed to have caused trouble for Gawain.
"I'm still not good at dealing with the media. Media matters should be left to John and Pete." Agassi was a little annoyed.
Gao Hongli waved his hands repeatedly, "You handled it very well. If it were me, I would definitely mess it up." As he said this, he couldn't help but laugh, "We will tell Gao Wen later, he will definitely do it."
Laughing loudly."
But Agassi is still a little cautious. He is not 100% adaptable to the job of coach, and he inevitably has more worries in all aspects.
Jiang Yanyun noticed Agassi's expression, and without saying anything else, he just clenched his fists and cheered, "Novak is the champion."
boom!
The four people laughed happily again, including Agassi this time.
Fans coming and going looked over at them one after another, but they had no idea what the four middle-aged men were laughing at. Then they noticed those gazes, and they couldn't help but feel more joyful, and they couldn't stop laughing at all.
Little by little, the two families are getting closer.
Standing in front of the idols he once admired, Jiang Yanyun slowly regained his familiar appearance and was finally able to treat Agassi and Graf as ordinary people. Especially when they talked about their children, parents could always
Defuse the atmosphere and close the distance easily.
"Do you want them to play tennis?"
"If I can, I will stop them, because I know how boring and hard the training life of professional players is, but I won't say anything more. It's up to them to choose. Whether they like it or reject it, I respect them."
"Indeed, when I watched Gao Wen train, I often regretted that I was young and ignorant, and put my dreams on the shoulders of my children. If the children don't like it, does it mean that I am also forcing the children to go?
Go your own way..."
"Don't think too much, I think Gawain likes tennis very much..."
Word by word, Jiang Yanyun and Graf were chatting. Occasionally, the language was not accurate, but they could always find a way to convey their meaning through hands-on communication.
A group of four people turned a corner and entered the training ground. Their field of vision widened again, and then they could see Gawain hitting the ball.
Under the sun, he was sweating profusely, and the entire stadium was steaming with a heat wave. His vision was distorted, as if he could see the ground melting.
"Out of bounds!"
The return ball from the opposite side went out of bounds on Gao Wen's side, but Gao Wen did not stop hitting the ball and hit the tennis ball back again. It can be clearly seen that the control of the forehand was more delicate, and finally landed accurately in the blind corner of the baseline.
At the same time, the player who was hitting the ball on the opposite side stopped hitting the ball. Instead, he stood there with his hands on his hips, looking a little frustrated.
"Sorry, sorry sorry."
The player on the opposite side raised his voice and raised his racket to signal to Gawain.
Only then did Jiang Yanyun notice that Gao Wen's training partner was not Russell, but a Chinese—the words he just spoke were in standard Chinese.
At the same time, she is still a girl.
Jiang Yanyun was a little surprised and turned to look at Graf, "Do girls also practice ball with boys? Can their strength match?"
"Yes, of course it does, and it's very common." Graf replied with a smile. "Ordinary batting training mainly involves standing in place to complete the batting, and does not use angles to mobilize the opponent. Such absolute power is suppressed.
In fact, it is not as strong as imagined.”
"Moreover, the current string technology is very advanced, and the effect of leveraging the force is excellent enough. In batting training, girls can definitely compete with boys."
"For girls, they can adapt to greater power confrontation; for boys, they can become familiar with the stability of hitting the ball actively."
"It's a win-win."
"So in the tour, you can often see male and female players practicing together. It's not a date, but real professional training."
Graf explained a lot eloquently and cordially.
Agassi added next to it.
"But it is limited to batting training. It is mainly to adjust the swing movement, get used to muscle force, aim at the hitting point, adjust power control, etc. It is not suitable for other training."
As they say, actions that are incomprehensible to ordinary fans are actually very common in professional tennis.
Among the Big Four, except for Federer, the other three players often conduct batting training with top women's players. However, the length of training needs to be controlled. It is usually about an hour. If it is longer, the training effect will be reduced.
Showing a cliff-like decline——
In the final analysis, the gap between physical fitness and strength is an objective fact before our eyes.
During this offseason, in addition to adjusting his serving technique, Gao Wen also made very subtle adjustments to his forehand and backhand shots.
At any time, adjusting technical movements is a very difficult and uncomfortable thing, because you need to change the habits formed over many years, and you will inevitably have to go through a period of pain.
It is precisely because of this that Gao Wen needs to complete training with players of different styles and types, so that he can finely and accurately adjust his hitting feel with female players.
Last week in Doha, it was a men's tournament. There were no female players, so it was not possible to make the trip. In the end, I won the championship. It was more or less lucky. I only encountered Berdych, a top player, in the finals.
On the stage, Gawain has found some touch.
But Gao Wen also knows that his technical movements are still not fully adapted to the competition. If he wants to have better performance in the next Grand Slam, then training, training and training is the only way.
So after arriving in Melbourne, we started joint training as planned, and training with women's players was part of it.
On the side of the court, Agassi and others were meeting up with Sampras, Tobias and others. They were chatting for a while. It was obvious that they had all adapted to life in Melbourne.
On the court, Gawain stopped hitting the ball, ran towards the center of the court, and called out to the girl who was bowing her head in annoyance.
