Chapter 121 A Little Expectation

Looking at Tobias in front of him, he dug a hole and jumped by himself, but he showed amazing explosive power at the critical moment, turning the tide on the brink of danger, and the whole atmosphere suddenly became cheerful and relaxed.

A smile appeared in Gao Wen's eyes, "Thank you for the compliment."

After all, what Tobias said just now, comparing him with Li Na is indeed a compliment.

Tobias's smile also bloomed. He had been paying attention to him just now. Gao Wen's conversation and humor obviously did not conform to people's stereotypes of Asians.

Not only is he generous, but he also advances and retreats well, even in the face of Sampras, which is in stark contrast to McDonald next to him.

This made Tobias feel a little interesting.

Originally, the championship game of the Pac-[-] School League was not very attractive to Tobias. It was purely for vacation and relaxation. Even if the Bruins won the championship, he didn't think it was a big deal. Neither was the National Championship game. After the game, Sampras dragged him over to congratulate the team.

That's why there was no opening in the front.

But now it seems that this Gao Wen is really interesting. Compared with the performance on the court, the temperament displayed by people off the court is the most important-this is the so-called superstar potential; however, competitive sports are special, personality Charm is very important, but one's own strength and field performance are more important.

Of course Tobias knew this clearly, so the fun was just fun and nothing more.

"Li Na just won her second Grand Slam title in January. Now everyone is staring at the Chinese market. She is a very popular figure. How about you? Are you also looking forward to making history? Let the world tennis world also listen To some boy's name?"

Tobias said something half-joking and half-joking, but at least the first half of the sentence was sincere——

In January this year, Li Na reached the top of the Australian Open and won her second Grand Slam championship trophy, further making history. Now her commercial value has also reached a new peak. After all, the Chinese market is a piece that can be seen all over the world. Big cake, who doesn't want to share a piece?

However, compared to the overall breakthrough of female players, the performance of male players is completely broken. So far, no Chinese male tennis player has been able to break into the top [-] in the world. Doubles champions, Grand Slam singles semi-finals, and the top [-] players in the world have a collective advantage performance of many players, which is simply heaven and earth.

Not to mention Li Na's two Grand Slam singles championship trophies.

It is precisely because of this that Tobias' words were slightly ridiculed-but not malicious.

Gao Wen slightly pursed his lips and raised his brows lightly, "Who knows what will happen next? We should be looking forward to the future, shouldn't we?"

There was no positive response, but a rhetorical question showed a gesture, and met Tobias's gaze neither humble nor overbearing.

Tobias was a little surprised, and looked at Gawain with more interest.

Sampras could feel the brief collision, and bumped into Tobias directly, "John, your behavior is very rude."

Tobias didn't push back, and immediately said, "Sorry, I'm always like this. I don't know how to joke, so I don't have any friends around me."

A self-deprecating joke instantly eased the atmosphere, and Gawain was not aggressive, but jokingly followed Tobias's words, "Run! Pete, run!"

Calling in the tone of the movie "Forrest Gump", as if to tell Sampras to stay away from this bad friend quickly, the laughter was very good, and everyone laughed successfully.

The conversation didn't last long, and then Purcell and Di Giulio also rushed over, hoping to take a photo with Sampras, and then Gao Wen and MacDonald gave way.

"Gao Wen, are you alright?" MacDonald lowered his voice and looked at Gawain worriedly.

Gao Wen laughed heartily, "Mike, I'm fine, everything is fine, let's make history together!"

Giggling and laughing, Gao Wen and Macdonald once again joined the ranks of teammates celebrating.

Sampras, who stayed in place, had time to send Sale and Di Giulio away, and bumped Tobias on the shoulder, "What happened to you just now?"

Tobias chuckled twice, "I just thought that kid was interesting, so I tried it out. Maybe, he is indeed worth looking forward to."

Sampras was a little speechless looking at his friend's wicked face.

Tobias was born as a tennis player, but because of his limited talent, he later changed his career to become a sports agent under the suggestion of the legendary superstar John McEnroe. He has been in the industry for nearly 20 years, and now he has become an IMG Senior Broker in West Coast Division of Brokerage Firm.

Simply speaking, IMG Brokerage Company is one of the top sports brokerage companies in the world, even if this "one" is taken away, there is no problem.

Their business covers football, basketball, rugby, golf, baseball, etc., and there are countless top superstars. In the tennis field alone, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Maria Sharapova ( Maria-Sharapova) and other names are impressively listed.

As I said before, Tobias’s own sports career was mediocre, but now he always expects the clients he helps to manage the business to write legends, let him also sit in the player’s box, enjoy the Grand Slam finals, and share the joy and happiness together. Happiness, so he is very interested in talented players.

At present, Tobias's main focus is on the Bulgarian young talent Grigor-Dimitrov (Grigor-Dimitrov), a player known as "Little Federer" because of his technical style and tennis talent. Like Federer when he was young, he did perform well after turning to the professional arena.

At the Australian Open at the beginning of the year, Dimitrov advanced to the quarter-finals for the first time, and the future can be expected.

But unfortunately, Tobias has always lacked a little luck. The players he represents have not yet been able to win a Grand Slam championship, and the exploration of commercial value has not been able to open up a new situation, so he has always been in the middle management of the IMG brokerage company Teetering on the edge, not being able to go any further.

Whenever he saw a young player with potential, whether he was really interested in signing or not, Tobias always liked to tease him, like the weird uncle who always haunts family gatherings.

Sampras glanced at his friend and couldn't help but want to complain, but there was no chance. Reporters came out from nowhere and surrounded Sampras bustlingly, hoping that he could publish something Views on the game, and Tobias disappeared quietly among the crowd——

The face of the public was indeed merged into the sea after turning around, and could never be found again.

Sampras was overwhelmed by the crowd in a blink of an eye, and he didn't have time to look for Tobias. It was the top priority to cheer up and deal with the media.
