Match point

Chapter 1210 Waiting for good news

"You thought you were friends, but is that really the case? Are you sure?"

"Have you ever thought that he might just be a pawn in John's business map, and so are you, and then you will be bundled together and sold together."

"You were kept in the dark like this, and became a tool for him to build his brand image."

"Think about it, since you two met, all the focus and halo have shifted to him, he is the darling of the media, but what about your situation?"

"They are all using you. Only I am really on your side and consider you wholeheartedly."

Rashid, crossed the line.

As a coach, he shouldn't dictate Dimitrov's off-court life, but obviously, Rashd's emotions are too high, and he can't care about these.

Dimitrov, who has always been kind, became angry on a rare occasion. For the first time since the cooperation, he scorned Rashdra, and ended the conversation with a cold face.

Of course, Tobias would not tell others about these things, including Sampras and Agassi, let alone Gawain, so they knew nothing about it.

But this time, Gao Wen's team also encountered a little unexpected situation, Gao Wen received a call from Tim——

Ask Gao Wen if he can play doubles together.

Because of Miami's recovery, Tim canceled his plan to warm up in Casablanca, but this also means that he needs more time to adapt to the clay.

Even for clay court masters, it will take some time to switch from hard court to clay court. It is estimated that only Nadal is an exception, and the transition can be seamless.

Gawain was very embarrassing.

From a purely technical and tactical level, it should be more interesting to play doubles with Tim on clay. After all, Tim can be regarded as a clay expert.

But Gao Wen had already agreed to Dimitrov first, so he told the truth and sincerely expressed regret, "...it seems that we can only wait for the next time."

Similar situations are very common in tour competitions, especially for singles players. Doubles matches are all random. There are countless situations where different players invite the same doubles partner at the same time. As for the decision, it depends entirely on the player who has the right to choose. Pure individual freedom.

There are indeed a lot of gossip and gossip caused by the invitation of the doubles partner.

For example, someone invited to play doubles, but the player said that he was not going to play doubles in this tournament, but when the opponent turned around and left, the player agreed to the invitation of another player to appear in the doubles, which resulted in the Post-press conference war of words.

For example, fixed doubles partners disbanded due to disagreements. As a result, the two partners blamed each other in the locker room, turned around and looked for a new doubles partner, but both found the same player and asked the other party to make a choice, so that an innocent third party was involved in this situation. In the bloody drama with his partner.

Anyway, in the final analysis, doubles is a cooperative relationship, without signing a contract, it is more of a customary etiquette, and the choice is freedom.

What's more, Tim also knows "first come, first served". He said he understands [-]% and can only look forward to the next opportunity to pair doubles with Gao Wen again.

However, things are still not over here.

Later, Tim turned to look for other doubles partners, but unfortunately, did not find a suitable one, and missed the registration deadline as a result.

As a result, Thiem's ​​plan to warm up in doubles in Monte Carlo ran aground, and he had to make up for more adaptation time through training.

After learning about this incident, when Dimitrov and Gao Wen met Tim on different occasions, both of them expressed regret and apology——

Although, it's not anyone's fault.

It is precisely because of this that Tim just made a little joke and made fun of Dimitrov; but he didn't expect that Dimitrov would hit him back, so that Tim, an honest man, was dumbfounded and turned to Gawain. Cast a look for help.

But what was even more unexpected was that all this was actually the beginning of Tim and Dimitrov teaming up to play a prank on Gao Wen.

Really rare.

So, is this "the one who is close to the vermilion is red", or "the one who is close to the ink is black"?
The only thing that is certain is that Rashid is not satisfied, very, very dissatisfied——

Although not sure why, Sampras could also feel the alienation and resistance from Rashid.

During the training, Rashid wore a pair of sunglasses all the time, and put on a posture of keeping everyone away from strangers, keeping everyone away thousands of miles away. Even his guidance to Dimitrov seemed rigid, purely business-like, The sharpness and stiffness in the words made the onlookers panic.

Gawain also noticed the subtlety of the atmosphere, and asked Dimitrov in private, but Dimitrov didn't seem willing to say more.

"... there were some differences of opinion."

Now that Dimitrov said so, Gao Wen didn't ask any more questions. The relationship between coaches and players is rather special.

From a work perspective, coaches need to guide players, and their professional opinions are an important means to help players improve their level and find competitiveness.

But in terms of partnership, the players are the hirers of the coaches. Simply put, the players are the bosses, and they have the final say.

Therefore, when the cooperation is unfolding, it is inevitable to stumble. Maybe the interpersonal conflicts are not as good as football or basketball, but the locker room always has its own problems.

Soon, this group of young people turned their attention to the game——

The draw for the Monte Carlo Masters was announced on Friday, and countless experts and reporters have already eagerly analyzed it.

In the first half, No. [-] seed Djokovic and No. [-] Nadal faced each other.

In the lower half, the second seed Federer and the third seed Gao Wen faced each other.

That is to say, if Federer and Gao Wen can successfully join the semi-finals, then the competition for world No. [-] may be decided in the first round of the Masters.

The situation is actually very simple:
Last year, Federer reached the final in Monte Carlo, but unfortunately lost to Wawrinka, so coming here again this year, he needs to defend the runner-up's [-] points.

Assuming that Federer loses [-] points directly after being eliminated in the first round, then Gao Wen can reap the benefits and rise to the second place in the world without even needing to compete.

Of course, this is an extreme situation, and the reporters and fans are not willing to see the situation of "the winner will be decided without a fight". Their attention is still focused on the potential head-to-head confrontation of the top four, just like a western movie, "The king sees the king "The head-to-head confrontation will determine the world's second ranking with a victory or defeat.

In the semi-finals of the Masters, this is 360 points; and now Gao Wen is only 210 points behind Federer with [-] points, so the answer is very clear:

In the semi-finals, if Gao Wen wins, he will directly replace Federer as the new world No. 360; if Federer wins, it is not enough, because Gao Wen breaks into the semi-finals to ensure [-] ​​points, so Federer must win the championship to be able to hold the world No. [-] Location.

On the whole, Federer's performance must be better than Gao Wen's to be able to hold his position.

Obviously, Gao Wen has seized an absolutely powerful position in this battle for "No. [-] in the world", but people are still looking forward to a positive outcome to determine the result.
