Chapter 1068 Djokovic, Who Is He?
The two picked up the plates and talked in a low voice while picking the food.
"Look, there are so many celebrities! We are considered small figures here."
"I said Tiechui is a good person. No one in the national team has bad things to say about him. Li Na's attitude is a bit strange."
"Shh, keep your voice down."
"Zheng Jie is the same. She listens to her husband in everything. Zhang Yu is too controlling and difficult to deal with."
At this time, the girl took Guoguo to chat with Kobe's family. When she saw Peng Shuai and the two, she didn't know them, but she could guess who they were, so she hurried over to say hello.
"Hello, I'm Liu Yifei. Are you Li Na or Peng Shuai? Where are Zheng Jie and the others?" However, there were two fewer people, so she asked tentatively.
"Oh, I'm Peng Shuai and she's Yan Zhi. They can't come because of something. We can represent them." Peng Shuai hurriedly explained.
The girl said, "Oh," and nodded, "Then you can do whatever you want here. Today, all the people invited here are Tiechui's friends. There are no rules."
"Well, we know." Yan Zhi smiled.
There were more than 20 friends in total, and they arrived soon.
Li Ba took some things and looked around. When he saw Peng Shuai and the other person sitting in a corner, he walked over.
"How does the food taste?" Li Ba asked casually after sitting down.
"Not bad, very delicious." Peng Shuai smiled.
"Really?" Li Ba looked unconvinced and smiled, "I haven't eaten anything good in the past few days in the UK. When you play in the United States in the future, come to my house and I will treat you to a big meal."
"Okay." Peng Shuai and the other person looked at each other and smiled happily.
"Will you all participate in the next US Open?" Li Ba asked while eating.
"Participate, what about you?" Yan Zhi asked.
"Same, but I don't have any points, so I still get a wild card." Li Ba smiled.
He looked and saw a ring on Yan Zhi's left ring finger, and smiled: "Yan Zhi, when did you get married? The last time I chatted with Lin Dan, I seemed to remember him saying you were not married?"
Yan Zhi was surprised and said: "You chatted with him, how did you talk about me?"
Li Ba laughed and said: "Lin Dan gossiped, I just started playing tennis, and he introduced the national tennis team by the way."
"Oh, I am actually married, I have registered, but the wedding has not been held yet." Yan Zhi laughed.
Peng Shuai said: "She registered last month and married a wealthy man in Hong Kong."
"My family didn't know that their family was so rich, how could we know?" Yan Zhi laughed.
Li Ba smiled: "It's okay as long as they are good people, it's not like they can't make money."
"Yes, that's what I think." Yan Zhi laughed.
At this time, Peng Shuai remembered what Li Na and Zhang Yu said, and suddenly asked: "Iron Hammer, do you want to develop in the system?"
Li Fan was stunned, why should I develop in the system? With my personality and temper, can I be good in it?
He shook his head and said, "No, it's too early for me to retire, and I haven't thought about what to do after retirement. But even if I retire in the future, it's impossible for me to work in the system. It's better to go to the northeast and rent a few thousand acres of land to farm."
"Ah?"
Such a big world sports superstar went to farm, Yan Zhi and Peng Shuai just felt a toothache.
At this time, Li Ba's interview was broadcast by BBC and other TV stations.
Because of Li Ba's reply, Montanes received great attention. He said angrily to the media: "I will let him know whether I am worthy of being his opponent. I want him to know that on the tennis court, at Wimbledon, he is just a rookie who is eligible to participate with a wild card in the main draw, a rookie who is nothing."
Many media reporters found Djokovic, the fourth seed leading the 4/4 division.
"Djokovic, what do you think of the hammer's remarks?" a reporter asked.
Djokovic is only 22 years old. He was born in a weak country like Serbia and walked out of the war. In order to attract attention, his remarks and behaviors have always been very bold, and even his appearance is a bit alternative, with signs of ugly.
Although he won the Australian Open last year and began to show his talent in the tennis world, he was still far from being a sports superstar, so he did not miss this opportunity.
When faced with this question from the reporter, he said directly, "The hammer is too crazy! He overlooked one thing. This is Wimbledon, the tennis world, not the basketball world, not the NBA. Please tell him that he has no chance to get out of the 4/4 zone because I am in this zone."
"Who is he, a little brat?"
This was Li Ba's answer to Djokovic in front of the media.
"I hope he can hold on until he meets me."
Djokovic was mad enough with Li Ba's attitude, and he expressed his anger to the media.
"Ha! Ha! Ha!"
After knowing this, Maria Sharapova, the most beautiful woman in the tennis world who had no good impression of Djokovic, laughed three times to show her pleasure.
People like Federer and Nadal were also interviewed by the media, but they did not express their attitudes and were vague.
On June 28, at 2 pm local time, Li Ba's tennis career officially began.
His first professional tennis match will be held at Court 1 of Wimbledon, which can accommodate more than 1,000 spectators and is the largest court besides the center court.
Court 1 is usually a popular match, and he is qualified to play there.
At around 12 o'clock, Li Ba arrived at the court and began to prepare for the match.
As friends, this was Li Ba's first professional tennis match. The three Michaels and Lewis, as well as more than a dozen British stars, also came to Court No. 1 with him to cheer for him.
The group was full of big stars. They gathered together and appeared on Court No. 1, earning enough attention. A large number of media and fans swarmed in. The scene was so grand that even Federer and Nadal could not compare.
In comparison, Li Ba's first-round opponent Montanes was too shabby. He was accompanied by only a coach and an agent, and was squeezed in a corner by the media and fans and no one paid attention to him.
Wimbledon is the only grass court among the four Grand Slam events, and it is also the most traditional event with the weakest commercial atmosphere. After entering the court, there are almost no other billboards except for a few major sponsors.
The players' clothes are also all white, which is said to express respect for the British royal family.
At two o'clock, Li Ba put on his all-white jersey, carried his bag, and walked onto Court No. 1 alone.
Yatou and her friends walked to the audience.
The same goes for coach Michael Chang. Tennis is different from other sports. Coaches are not allowed to give instructions on the spot, especially in the four Grand Slam events. Coaches can only appear in the audience, and even gestures and spoken language are not allowed.
Li Ba was a little uncomfortable because the audience was too quiet. When he entered the court, there was only some applause, but this is the atmosphere of a tennis match.
"Dear audience, the hammer is now on the court, and the game is about to start..." At this time, Tong Kexin began to comment on the game in the Beijing CCTV live broadcast room.
This game was hosted by her and Zhang Sheng.
She and Zhang Sheng each have their own characteristics. Her commentary is too detailed, while the latter is too stiff and rigid.
