"Although I missed the opportunity to land on Nadal's private yacht, I can be satisfied with a dinner opportunity that I can show off to my children and grandchildren in the future."
Gao Wen, still the same Gao Wen, made the atmosphere cheerful again with just one sentence, even Nadal couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing heartily.
So, after the training was over, the two teams took a rare holiday to enjoy a leisurely evening, and temporarily put tennis and training to the back of their minds.
It is a cozy family-style restaurant, almost no tourists come to visit, and it is an old restaurant that Nadal and his family often visit.
The traditional Spanish cuisine actually allowed Gao Wen to taste some of the food from his hometown——
The use of olive oil, the combination of salt and seasoning, the taste of cooking on high fire, and of course, Gao Wen’s favorite seafood, although the styles are completely different, the taste is very suitable for Gao Wen’s appetite.
It was a little accidental discovery.
Looking at Gao Wen who was taking pictures as a souvenir, Uncle Tony was a little surprised, "If you want to take pictures, shouldn't it be early? The plates are basically cleared now."
Gao Wen looked at his phone and showed a smile, "No, I just took pictures and sent them to my mother. She was always worried that I was not used to those foods when I was outside. I told her, hey, I found that Spanish food can taste the taste of my hometown. Taste, I should bring her to Mallorca next time."
I see!
There was a slight smile in Nadal's eyes, and he seemed to be touched, "So, when I go to other countries to compete, I always like to go to the market to buy vegetables, and then come back to cook, because my mother is worried that the food will not suit my appetite. I also really like getting together with everyone.”
Gawain was a little surprised, "Are you cooking by yourself? Use this muscle?" Gawain raised his left hand and tapped the bicep.
Gawain did it on purpose—
Nadal hits the ball with his left hand, so the muscles in his left hand are indeed stronger than his right hand, which is very visually impactful; but in real life, Nadal is actually right-handed, and he uses his right hand for all daily actions. Professional tennis is a well-known legend.
Because, in the enlightenment stage, it was Uncle Tony who suggested that Nadal use his left hand to hit the ball, which made Nadal unique in the entire tennis world.
Professionals have speculated more than once, if Nadal had not switched to his left hand, but a traditional right-handed player, would he have been able to reach such heights?
However, there is "no if", so all tennis fans have witnessed a glorious golden age together.
In other words, in daily life, if Nadal cooks, he must use his right hand, and the muscles of his left hand will not be of much use.
"Haha." Nadal was immediately amused by Gao Wen, "Occasionally, very very occasionally. I don't like it getting in the way, so I usually keep it in the refrigerator."
cold joke! After getting close and familiar, Nadal will also joke.
Sampras picked up the wine glass and took a sip, "I heard before that a player cut his finger while cooking and had to retire; Sprained my ankle while cleaning the room and missed French Open and Wimbledon."
"Gao Wen, I'm not worried that you'll hurt yourself, but I'm worried that you might tear down the kitchen." Sampras complained meaningfully.
All eyes were rustlingly projected towards Gao Wen—
What is Sampras suggesting?
Gao Wen wanted to refute, but when he saw everyone's gazes, he changed the subject of his words, "Well, I admit it, I'm actually the King of Destruction."
boom!
The night is just right, in the busy and compact daily training, take a short break, relieve the pressure, relax, and then regroup and continue on the road.
Then, Saturday.
On this day, Gao Wen did not train with Nadal for three consecutive days, but ushered in a new training opponent——
Jaume-Munar in 1997.
The Spanish teenager reached the final of the French Open youth group last year, but unfortunately lost to Rublev. Although he still signed up for the youth competition this year, Munnar has gradually started to participate in the challenge competition to accumulate experience and slowly enter the professional track. Start your own career.
Against Munnar, it was also a training match, but the whole style and pressure were different, Gao Wen's feeling was particularly obvious:
It's like training with lead weights tied to your legs, and then you suddenly remove the lead weights, and your body is as light as a swallow.
From the side, you can deeply feel Nadal's specialness again.
However, Munnar's strong offensive style is different from Nadal's defensive counterattack, and it is also a test for Gawain's defense on clay courts.
Munnar is a typical clay court player, but at the same time, he also has the style of the younger generation who dare to fight and fight hard. He should also perform well on hard courts.
"6:4", "3:3".
Munnar first.
Judging from the score, Gao Wen was still the loser. The young and energetic Munnar played vigorously and showed Gao Wen a different clay court attack.
It is obviously different from Nadal, but it is another understanding and reading of clay court. The delicacy and complexity of the whole game style is higher than that of hard court, and there is a lot of room for interpretation. Just when Gao Wen thought he had entered the primary stage, and then realized that it was still getting started.
Of course, training and competition are two different things. Today's training focuses on defensive layout and touch—
On clay courts, offense and defense are slightly different, but on the whole, offense is still offense, the essence is the same as hard courts, but defense is different, from techniques to methods to strategies are all different, showing in an all-round way The unique properties of red clay, which are completely new.
To get started with clay, one still needs to practice the basic skills on a down-to-earth basis.
Uncle Tony was well aware of this, so when Agassi contacted him to arrange a training partner for Gawain, he invited Munnar.
Even without Agassi's special instructions, Uncle Tony has already completed the concept ahead of time, using his professional knowledge to help Gao Wen train ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Sampras and Agassi are very, very satisfied, and they even discussed Then, should he return to Mallorca next year to prepare for Gawain's clay-court season.
During his training in Mallorca, Nadal was indeed a perfect host, impeccable.
In the morning, the two-hour training ended; in the afternoon, Gao Wen did not arrange training. After lunch, he packed his luggage and went to the airport to prepare to leave.
Tomorrow is Sunday, and Monday the day after tomorrow is the official start of Monte Carlo. Whether it is Gao Wen or Nadal, they should all be ready to go—
After all, there are two more training sessions in Monte Carlo on Sunday, adapting to the venue and the weather.
Nadal and Uncle Toni are still training, so it was Maribel who came here to see off the plane. To their surprise, they saw another figure at the gate of the airport.
Perello, who only heard his name but never saw him, was Nadal's fiancée.
