The laughter came one after another and couldn't stop. In the blink of an eye, the players' lounge turned into a party scene, all they needed was a glass of champagne.
Mrs. Jin bumped Navratilova's shoulder and said, "Martina, now you have met your opponent again. This kid is a sharp talker."
Navratilova was squeezed, but not only was she not angry, but she also showed a satisfied smile, "This is called successors. Look at Roger and look at Rafa, all of them can only do Tai Chi," press conference
It’s so boring.”
That is to say, a senior of Navratilova's level can easily tease Federer and Nadal.
"I hope this kid can be more powerful. Next time I see a reporter, I can just yell back at them. Those guys are so arrogant even if they don't give them any color. How can they not be brilliant if they give them a little color?" Navratil said.
Lova is a tough player, even when she was a professional player.
Where did the nickname "Female King Kong" come from?
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the world of women's professional tennis was dominated by Evert, and Navratilova, who was two years younger, was a rising star.
In the early stages of her career, Navratilova was always at a disadvantage. Then she began to exercise her strong physique, and her entire style of play began to become masculine. Not only did she win the title of "Female King Kong", but she also slowly reversed her course.
In order to face the disadvantage of Evert, he later won 13 consecutive victories against Evert.
However, throughout their careers, Navratilova and Evert have evenly matched against each other. They are also known as the "greatest rivals of the 20th century." For a long, long time, the two were not the world's No. 1 opponents.
One is the second in the world, and the competition is fierce.
It is precisely because of this that cracks appeared between the two people who were once best friends, and the competition on the court affected the two people. It was not until Graf's emergence that changed the landscape of tennis that the two people, who were no longer burdened by fame, reunited.
good.
If you look at Navratilova’s style, you can get a glimpse of her private character:
Tough enough, straightforward enough, and magnanimous enough.
Facing reporters, Navratilova often choked people to death.
At this time, Evert and Navratilova were still very, very good friends, and they naturally showed no mercy when they complained, and Evert directly pushed back.
"Your next suggestion would be to get this kid into the ring and have a thirteen-round fight with reporters, right?"
Navratilova glared back, "Aren't you also full of firepower in the show? And you even talked about me. With one K.O. move, your majestic appearance has already left the circle."
At this moment——
"Oops, I seem to have crashed into a party. Is it too late for me to turn around and leave now?" Jimmy Courier appeared in front of everyone in a suit and tie with a bright smile.
Tobias is already used to it. One GOAT is exciting, and two GOATs are surprises. However, when a group of GOATs gather together, the party specifications are completely different.
Despite this, Tobias couldn't help but sigh:
Gawain is indeed a lovable person.
Tonight's five-and-a-half-hour fierce battle should have made Gawain countless fans, and you can tell just by looking at the noisy scene in front of you.
Courier is a cool smiler who has signed a long-term cooperation agreement with the Australian Open. As a special guest for court interviews, he is active at Rod Laver Arena every year.
This year is no exception.
Courier rashly broke into the party and became the center of attention, but he seemed very worried and calm, and even joked in a relaxed mood.
He said he was about to leave, but his steps came straight in without stopping, "Wait, where is our champion? I am also planning to take a photo in history?"
After a moment's delay, everyone realized that the protagonist had disappeared as he spoke——
It's not that Gawain's presence is too weak, but it's a Hall of Fame-level gathering. Sampras, Agassi, and Courier are all juniors. Even they can't hold up the scene. One and two are old acquaintances, chattering.
As the discussion started, the topic changed.
At this time, Courier reminded everyone, and everyone started searching, and then they saw Gawain returning to the bicycle trainer.
this……
Even Peart's jaw was slightly dislocated, while Sampras and the others lowered their heads and snickered.
If it were someone else, on such an occasion, they would want to stand directly under the spotlight and attract everyone's attention; even if they were not, they should be polite and accompany them.
But Gawain was lucky, he actually had the leisure to continue training, leaving these legendary celebrities aside.
If you think about it seriously, this is also Gawain's typical style.
Everyone looked at each other, and neither one of them could react.
Gawain, who once again became the center of attention, was not in a hurry and had a calm expression.
"Oh, I just feel that this place doesn't seem to be suitable for me. Sorry, I'm in the wrong place. I'm looking for an escape tool."
Whoosh.
Whoosh.
As he spoke, Gawain stepped on the bicycle harder and harder, the wheels started to rotate rapidly, and he made a humming sound from his mouth. His concentrated expression and eyes that showed all his strength were as if he was competing in the Tour de France.
The mountain stage was normal, wiping the non-existent sweat on my forehead.
vivid!
In an instant, the whole audience burst into laughter.
One after another, bustling with people, these legendary figures finally left slowly, and they all needed to go back and rest.
Before leaving, Evert lagged a little behind, came to Gawain again, opened his arms and gave Gawain a hug, whispered a few words in his ear, and then turned and left.
Watching Evert leave, Sampras was a little surprised, "What did Chris say to you? So mysterious?"
Gawain could deeply feel Evert's sincere concern, and the smile on his lips also rose, "She said that there should be more and more people who want you to fail in the future, but don't let them succeed."
"Challenger" will always be like this.
Back then, Evert emerged as a young challenger. Not only did he need to challenge the dominance of the masters, but he also needed to challenge the world of one-handed backhands.
She was always under unimaginable pressure.
From an unknown young player to a powerful ice princess, Evert's thin and frail shoulders have experienced one storm after another.
Now, in Gawain, Evert sees his former self, which can be seen from the overwhelming attacks and boos at this year's Australian Open——
Because what Gawain needs to challenge is the "Big Four".
The reality is very interesting. People are always clamoring for the younger generation to step forward and break the dominance of the Big Four. But when young people actually come forward, people expect the Big Four to withstand the impact and continue to consolidate their rule.
.
This is not only true for fans of the Big Four, but also for ordinary fans, because they have become accustomed to the existence of the Big Four, and because they are eager to witness the Big Four continue to create history in the face of more powerful impacts.
Such a contradictory mentality determines that Gawain and Wawrinka still have a long way to go.
Especially after the Australian Open, while Gao Wen won a large number of supporters, he should also have attracted a large number of opponents.
Sampras and Agassi exchanged glances, with a slight smile appearing in their eyes, a little pleased and a little proud:
After one challenge ended, a series of challenges followed. Suddenly, they seemed to have returned to the time when they were still professional players.
