Gawain's eloquence is well-known, and almost everyone in the professional tennis world knows it.
Sharapova is no exception.
But it’s one thing to hear it, and another thing to actually experience it with your own eyes.
Sharapova was really uncomfortable with Gawain's conversation style. She was dumbfounded and glared at Gawain, "This is not funny at all."
Gawain nodded gently, his face full of seriousness, "Very good, I'm not planning to be funny."
Sharapova:…
Normally, Sharapova is not a good talker. In women's tennis, it is Serena Williams who can talk and laugh happily in front of reporters. Sharapova is relatively slow-tempered and shy, so she often hides herself with an iceberg mask. Words had never been one of her weapons.
At this time, facing Gawain, Sharapova couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all. She was obviously frustrated, but she didn't know how to fight back.
Then--
Gawain did not give Sharapova more time to react and expressed sincere curiosity.
"Why do you just assume I'm on Gregor's side?"
Sharapova didn't even give her a look, "What? Are you still prepared to stand by me?"
Then, Sharapova turned to look at Gao Wen expressionlessly, as if she were looking at a stone, "Thank you, I don't need your support."
tough. firm. Sharp and sharp.
It is consistent with Sharapova's style on the court, but it is precisely this Sharapova that makes Gao Wen see a trace of vulnerability that is not easy to detect:
Strong on the outside but dry on the inside.
The tougher you are, the more fear you feel inside; the more resistance you have, the more you are struggling inside; the more angry you are, the more panic you feel inside.
Originally, Gawain was just talking nonsense and making a joke, and was not really prepared to intervene, but now...
He sighed softly inwardly.
Thinking of Dimitrov, Gawain decided to stop talking and stop talking.
However, Gawain lightly shrugged his shoulders and nodded in affirmation.
"Yeah, you're right."
A natural word made Sharapova choke again. She looked at Gawain in front of her and couldn't believe it. How could this guy be so rogue?
Gawain didn't mind, as if he didn't see Sharapova's eyes, and continued.
"Maria, the matter between you and Gregor is between you. I am an outsider. I don't understand your story, so I can't tell you what to do. Don't worry, I won't tell you what you should do in a condescending manner... …”
"Very well, then you can shut up."
Before Gawain could continue speaking, Sharapova said coldly that as long as she had the slightest chance, she would like to cover the mouth of the guy in front of her.
In order to avoid being heard by the onlookers, she had to lower her voice so that the words seemed to be squeezed out bit by bit through the gaps between her teeth.
The evil spirit!
However, this does not scare Gawain.
Instead, the curve of the corner of Gawain's mouth slightly rose, and the old god said slowly and leisurely:
"Originally, I wanted to say that although I don't know what happened to you or what you think, and I don't have the position to give you advice, at least I can tell you Gregor's thoughts and hope to be able to give you some help."
Sharapova was slightly stunned, her turbulent emotions suddenly stagnated, and for a moment, she didn't even care about Gawain's tone of wanting to be beaten.
Gawain did not speak in a hurry, but shifted his gaze to Courier, who was interacting with the children not far away, leaving Sharapova alone.
He even waved hello to the children leisurely and showed a bright smile, completely unable to see the tension surging in the corner.
Not Sharapova.
Although there was no particular change in her expression, she was obviously not focused. She glanced at Gawain quickly, and her expression was hard to describe, and maybe she couldn't describe it accurately.
In fact, both Sharapova and Dimitrov are too proud and too stubborn.
Deep down, they still love each other deeply, and there is no problem with their relationship, but because of their pride and persistence, they refuse to communicate or bow their heads.
As a result, the wounds of the two people were spread out there, dripping with blood.
Here, Dimitrov performed poorly on the field. From Rotterdam to Acapulco to Indian Wells, his form was never able to continue.
On the other side, Sharapova is also in a sluggish state. She retired before the semi-finals of Alpurco and stopped in the quarter-finals of Indian Wells. The official reasons were food poisoning and stomach discomfort, but judging from her performance on the court, in the final analysis, The state is still unstable and unable to maintain a strong level.
Gawain really meant what he said about "not wanting to meddle in other people's business."
When a young couple is having an argument, why is he, an outsider, getting involved?
but--
Seeing two people who obviously love each other deeply but tormenting each other, and two people who are obviously separated from each other but silently spreading dog food, he and the others are almost full.
I can’t stand it!
Now, since Sharapova took the initiative to provoke this matter, Gawain will just go along with it.
But Gawain’s previous words were not nonsense.
He is just a bystander with limited knowledge. Rather than giving guidance, he is better to serve as a communication bridge so that Sharapova and Dimitrov can reconnect.
The authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear. The only thing he can do is to clear the fog in front of the authorities. That's all.
As for solving the problem, they still need to do it themselves, and he can't help.
Let the silence spread for a while, and the noise from all directions surged in, filling the silence between the two people, and then Gawain spoke again.
"Maria, you should know that Gregor really, really cares about the game, right?"
One of the differences between Dimitrov and Sharapova is:
Sharapova still has ambitions, many, many ambitions. She hopes to continue to reach the Grand Slam. She hopes to return to the number one position in the world.
However, Sharapova believes that Dimitrov does not. In Dimitrov's mind, love comes before career, and their frequencies are deviated.
If she had to choose between "love" and "career", she would choose the latter. There are still many goals she has not achieved in her career.
Therefore, Sharapova rejected Dimitrov's proposal and emphasized that she is now focusing on her career——
Two people who are clearly in love, have different plans for the future, so they reluctantly keep a distance. This is not easy for Dimitrov and Sharapova.
Reason is reason. In the face of emotions, the pull of reason cannot cover up the pain of entanglement, reluctance, and pain.
Sharapova was attracted by Gawain's voice and raised her head to look over, but her eyes showed confusion and subconscious rejection, and she remained vigilant.
She told herself that Gawain and Dimitrov were good friends, so she naturally defended Dimitrov, and she should not believe Gawain's one-sided words.
But she couldn't control her heart. She wanted to listen to Gawain's words, but the reason in her brain had already been thrown away, like a wild horse running wild.
Sharapova doesn't like feeling like this because the situation is getting out of control, but she still can't control herself, and that's the most real thing.
