Match Point: Chapter 1593 friend duel

The No. 1 press conference room was crowded with people, and the bustling noise continued to surge in the air, but suddenly fell into a brief silence. Obviously, everyone felt the impact and didn't know how to continue.

at the same time.

No. 3 press conference hall was a bit deserted. Although the seats in the room were almost full, the enthusiasm of the reporters could be seen, but there was no harm without comparison, and the gap could be seen when compared with the diagonally opposite corridor.

However, this did not affect Dimitrov's good mood—

"...Of course, I know that I have been struggling recently, and it is precisely because of this that it is very important for me to win today's game and advance to the fourth round."

"After all, this is Wimbledon and I'm back in the All England Club round of 16 and, God, it's something to celebrate."

After an up-and-down season, notably a disappointing result at Roland Garros, Dimitrov finally found his touch at Wimbledon.

Dimitrov returned to the round of 16 after beating Pospisir in five sets.

At the same time, Raonic, who desperately needs to perform first-class performance in the grass season, lost to Kyrgios in the third round of the strong collision, regrettably stopped.

After returning from injury, he did not experience a warm-up match, and there was still not enough time to adjust his state. Raonic failed to replicate the outstanding performance of last year's semi-finals.

This also means that after Wimbledon ends, Raonic will face a huge loss of points, and the bottleneck of the men's tennis youth storm continues.

It is against this background that Dimitrov, who has been under countless pressures and almost no one is optimistic about, has made it all the more precious to advance to the top 16 through three rounds.

Especially when Tim, Zverev Jr., Coric and other rising stars have all stopped, the Challenger League and Youth Storm desperately need some good news.

No wonder Dimitrov couldn't contain his joy.

Today, the match between Sharapova and Dimitrov was arranged on the No. 2 court of "Seed Grave". topic-

This time, Dimitrov didn't shy away.

"Maria helped a lot, and of course it was a special feeling to have a Grand Slam champion by her side and she was always able to give more advice."

"Maybe a sentence or a hint can help you solve the problem."

When the reporter further asked Dimitrov for an example, the Bulgarian handsome man showed a shy smile this time.

"I still want some privacy."

The reporter didn't mind, and asked again, "Speaking of Grand Slam champions, your friend Gao Wen is also a Grand Slam champion. You often train and compete together. Do you also have some competition exchanges? Or is it because Competitive relationship, you will not talk about the competition?"

"Haha." Dimitrov laughed heartily, this time without avoiding it.

"Technically and tactically, no, we don't know how to communicate. We all have our own coaches and teams. At the same time, we also have our own styles and characteristics. We have a consensus to avoid leaking our commercial secrets."

It was a little joke, after which Dimitrov himself laughed.

"But in fact, Gao Wen did give me a lot of help. In terms of psychology and game experience, especially when facing pressure and difficulties, he can always bring me a different perspective."

"This year's grass court season, I did not have a coach to accompany me, and I competed alone. I am really grateful to Gao Wen for his willingness to train with me and improve together."

"Without his help, it might be difficult for me to find my direction and to calm down and focus on the game."

"Actually, when I arrived at the All England Club, I even doubted that I would be able to win the first game. There were too many thoughts crowded in my head, but with Maria and Gawain next to me, you can understand why they are the Grand Slam. Championship, and you're still squandering your career."

Dimitrov himself didn't realize that he actually opened up the conversation on this topic, and turbulent emotions surged in his chest, and he was filled with emotion for a moment.

But when you think about it, it’s not surprising—

During this time, Gawain did give him a lot of help, walking side by side along the way, accompanying him through the darkest and most depressed time.

Before Wimbledon, Dimitrov, who had fallen into the lowest point of his career, parted ways with his meritorious coach, and Rashid complained to his friends in private, thinking that Tobias was for Gawain's career. With Luo Fu acting as a backstop, such gossip spread like wildfire, causing disturbances all over the city.

Dimitrov's position is very tricky.

In the eyes of professionals and fans, Dimitrov's Wimbledon prospects are not even as good as Raonic, who has returned from injury. It seems that he is already doomed to continue sliding into the abyss, and it is not worth looking forward to.

Since entering the grass season, Dimitrov has been under tremendous pressure, and the bustling noise continues. There is nowhere to escape.

Along the way, it was like dancing with the tip of a knife.

Without Sharapova and Gao Wen, he is not sure whether he can persist until he steps on the stage of Wimbledon, and what kind of spirit he will face the challenge of the All England Club.

call.

Taking a deep breath, Dimitrov regained his sanity a little bit, stopped speaking, and did not continue to reveal all the secrets behind it.

"I am very happy and fortunate that I was able to meet Gao Wen and become a friend."

The reporter tried to sow discord, "What do you think is the reason why Gao Wen is willing to share this?"

Dimitrov laughed heartily, "Is your subtext saying that Gawain doesn't think I'm a threat?"

Hehe, there was a lot of laughter at the scene, and the reporters also acquiesced.

"Actually, I don't mind."

"We should not forget ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Gao Wen is already a two-time Grand Slam champion, but I am still fighting for this dream."

"So, if he thinks I'm not a threat, then he has a reason to think so. I can beat him up in private and I'm not going to deny the fact, but the status quo is not eternal, we can look forward to the future."

Obviously, these provocations didn't work for Dimitrov at all, and the relaxation and lightness from the inside out were not affected by the reporter at all.

But the reporters refused to give up, "You don't need to wait for the future, you will have a chance the day after tomorrow. In the next round, you will face Gao Wen and fight for a spot in the quarterfinals."

"Milos lost a huge amount of points after being eliminated, and it is very likely that he will fall out of the top ten in the world ranking next week. Now you are also facing the same situation. You need to beat Gao Wen to advance to the quarterfinals and win the chance to defend the points of the semifinals."

"But judging from what you said just now, it seems that you don't think you can defeat Gao Wen at this stage. Does this mean to surrender?"

The audience, attention.

Those eyes and gazes all turned into arrows, and Dimitrov felt himself transformed into a porcupine in a blink of an eye. The feeling was really indescribable, but the burning on the surface of the skin was real.
