Chapter 1258 Undercurrents surging
Sock, 2011 US Open mixed doubles champion, 2014 Wimbledon men's doubles champion.

Compared with the singles results, so far, Sock has achieved a series of impressive records in the doubles arena, and this is not all.

In 2016, he won the mixed doubles gold medal in the Rio Olympics; in 2018, when Bob Bryan was absent for more than a year and a half due to injury, Mike Bryan played with Sock.

As a result, in that year, Sock performed poorly in singles, with one win and four losses in the four Grand Slams. He only won one victory at the US Open, and all the other three Grand Slams were eliminated in the first round; Looking down, winning Wimbledon, the US Open and the year-end finals three times in a row.

Needless to say, it can be seen intuitively from here that Sock is indeed very suitable for doubles.

Sight, back to the present moment.

From last year to this year, Sock's singles progressed steadily, and in last week's Houston clay court event, he won the singles championship trophy for the first time in his career, and broke into the top [-] in the real-time world ranking for the first time, showing a gratifying upward momentum; and this Everything benefits from the tempering of doubles.

Last year at Wimbledon, Sock and Bospi Hill defeated the Bryan Brothers in the final and became the champion; entering the new season, their partner still performed strongly. Here, they won one championship and one Asian performance.

Thanks to this, Sock's doubles world ranking reached a new high, coming to third; at the same time, Pospihir's doubles world ranking also came to fifth.

This time in the Monte Carlo Masters, Sock and Pospihir's partner was ranked the second seed, making great strides all the way to the final, which also means that from last month to this month, three consecutive masters In the final match, they all entered the finals, and they are undoubtedly the strongest doubles players in recent times.

Outside the arena, Sock was nicknamed "Sweetheart" by his colleagues——

It’s not about femininity, but that he is very naughty and kind, with perfect affinity, he can become friends with anyone, and often jokes, with a bright and cheerful smile all the time, like a sweetheart that no one can refuse Pai is average, definitely the king of connections.

Dimitrov, Raonic, etc. who are similar in age are all friends of Sock; Federer, Murray and others who are slightly older are all close personal friends with Sock; Having just entered the tour at a young age, Sock can easily name them.

There are legitimate reasons to suspect that there is no player in the ATP that Sock doesn't know.

So, seeing Dimitrov and Gawain from a distance, Sock was the first to greet them.

After embracing Dimitrov, Thok immediately gave Gawain a hug enthusiastically, joking incessantly.

"Be happy, be happy."

It was as if Gao Wen was some Quanfu doll.

Gao Wen also didn't expect that Sock would play tricks as soon as they met, and he also patted Sock on the back, babbling in Chinese with a few strange accents in English.

Suoke was stunned immediately, and after letting go of his embrace, he looked Gawain up and down, tilting his head with question marks all over his head.

Gao Wen didn't explain, and looked at Suoke mysteriously, with a meaningful expression on his face, "Are you sure it's joy?"

Chinese, to this group of foreigners, is always full of mystery.

Sock immediately grinned and made a grimace, and the vivid expression made Dimitrov beside him clap his hands and burst out laughing.

At this time, Bospisil has also followed up, and made a face from the right side of Sock, and joked with a hippie smile.

"Wait, that wasn't a curse just now, was it?"

Words are not the point, anyway, they don't understand the Chinese, Latin or Arabic, they are all the same; Even if the smile is concealed, it can still be savored.

Sok glanced at Bospisil, his smile was slightly stiff, and he hinted wildly with his eyes.

But Pospithil apparently didn't notice—

Or, notice but don't care.

"Originally, those babbling words sounded like a mess of incantations, didn't they?"

Pospisir was all smiles, seemingly very pleased with his "joke," looking back and forth between Thok and Dimitrov, seeking a response from them.

But Dimitrov was clearly dissatisfied with the joke, "Vasek, you can't speak, you can choose not to speak."

Pospisir curled his lips, and opened his mouth to refute Dimitrov, but unexpectedly, Gawain took the first step and interrupted Pospisir's words, but he didn't look at Pospisil, and He turned his head to look at Dimitrov, and said seriously.

"Grigor, we can't be so disrespectful. If others want to spray shit, there's no need for us to stop it. Why should we get ourselves covered in shit?"

"We are all civilized people, even if we don't like it, we should respect other people's freedom to spray shit."

"The correct approach should be that we distance ourselves a little bit, give each other some space, and let the other party spray feces to their heart's content. As for whether we will choke to death on our own saliva, that is another story."

Seriously, with a serious face.

Such funny and funny words, but Gao Wen uttered them in an academic and research tone, and the contrast of joy exploded in an instant.

Dimitrov: ...

Thork: ...

Pospithil:  …

The world became quiet in an instant, and all the noise disappeared.

The skin on Bospihir's cheeks is very thin. With a little exercise or emotional turmoil, his cheeks are prone to two blushes. This is just a physiological phenomenon, but at this moment, the bloodshot cheeks look like they may explode at any time , leaked the inner aggrieved and angry.

puff.

Someone couldn't hold back, and finally laughed out loud——

Sock classmate.

Sock just kept his mouth shut and tried very, very hard, but he still couldn't control himself.

Pospisil was very annoyed and gave Thork a hard look.

Suoke quickly waved his hand, indicating that he would control himself, and held back his laughter, but within two seconds, his cheeks swelled up like a dolphin fish. It was very funny, obviously there was no laughter at all, but all It's all smiles.

This scene made Dimitrov laugh a little.

But Dimitrov was still very dissatisfied with Pospisil's attitude, and gave him a hard look.

In the end, Gawain was the calmest and calmest. After exchanging a few polite words, he pulled Dimitrov and turned around to leave. He didn't even look at Pospisil from the beginning to the end, as if the 193cm tall man didn't exist at all. generally.

Bospisil looked at Gawain's back, took a deep breath, and took a deep breath again, but he still couldn't control the turbulent emotions in his chest, almost exploding.

Suoke lowered his head and couldn't see the expression clearly, but he still couldn't hold back after all, his shoulders shrugged slightly——

Those who didn't know thought that he was crying silently, but the corners of his mouth quietly raised betrayed the truth.
