As the oldest tennis event, Wimbledon has always been known for adhering to tradition. Even though the wheel of history has entered the 21st century, Wimbledon, which spans three centuries, still has a lot of persistence.

For example, contestants must wear white competition uniforms, such as the 7,000 liters of cream and 30 tons of strawberries consumed during the competition, and the fact that sponsor advertisements are rarely seen in the competition venue, etc.

Even though Wimbledon has such stringent requirements, this does not prevent Wimbledon from being the best tennis event in the world, and the All England Club is regarded as a temple-like existence by golfers.

Every year in late June, Wimbledon, a small town in the southwest suburbs of London, welcomes hundreds of thousands of tennis enthusiasts. It is a grand event about tennis, social interaction and fashion.

Even though the Internet has begun to spread around the world, the All England Club still insists that all tickets must be queued up and purchased on site, and the scene of playing musical instruments on site has become a beautiful sight at Wimbledon.

The tents scattered all over Henman Mountain made the distance between fans infinitely closer, and the scene was extremely harmonious.

Gu Fei arrived at Wimbledon five days before the start of the main match because the tournament organizing committee needed Gu Fei to take a set of photos and videos at the scene for tournament promotion.

This is also because Gu Fei's rise was so fast, and Wimbledon had to invite Gu Fei to Wimbledon in advance to shoot promotional materials.

Gu Fei didn't have any objections to this. After all, he didn't need to participate in other events to warm up. It was good to come to Wimbledon in advance.

While filming a promotional video, Gu Fei passed by a group of fans who were camping at Henman Mountain, playing and singing. On a whim, he picked up a guitar and started playing.

The camera faithfully recorded Gu Fei's superb guitar skills, and also recorded the scenes of him mingling with European and American fans, which was an unexpected surprise.

The media reporters at the scene described the other side of Gu Fei outside the stadium in their own writings, allowing more fans and audiences to have a deeper understanding of Gu Fei.

Previously, due to Gu Fei's rapid rise in the tennis world and his background in the Eastern Empire, he was demonized by many media and his image was not that good.

However, this experience of shooting promotional materials at Wimbledon made the media and the outside world realize for the first time that despite Gu Fei's aggressiveness on the court, he is actually just a kid under 20 years old!

In fact, Gu Fei did not expect that he would achieve such good results by coming to Wimbledon in advance!

At Wimbledon, Gu Fei was treated with courtesy because of his relationship with Becker. The respect that Becker earned in the arena had already transcended the boundaries of country and time.

Now, Gu Fei is following Becker's path, using tennis to tell the story of China and letting the world know more about China.

…………

One day before the men's singles main event, Gu Fei saw a Chinese player on a court. However, Du Rui lost the game and stopped in the second round of the youth women's singles.

The future Huaxia Golden Flower has not yet grown up, and the performance of the Chinese players in the adult group is even worse. Gu Fei is the only male player in the top 500 of the ATP.

If it weren't for Gu Fei's sudden rise, I'm afraid the whole world wouldn't know that Chinese people can actually play tennis?

"Coach Dong, if you need help if you need help in training or competing abroad in the future, just let me know!" After the game, Gu Fei found Dong Yuesen and Du Rui, who were packing their luggage, and offered them help.

In recent years, the Chinese Tennis Management Center and the Tennis Association have been committed to sending Chinese players overseas to participate in competitions, but due to constraints of funds, connections and other factors, little success has been achieved.

After all, China is not yet the second largest economy in the world in the future, and the funds allocated by the General Administration of Sports and the sponsorship it receives are pitiful.

"Thank you Gu Fei!" Dong Yuesen was extremely excited when he saw Gu Fei.

Everyone knows that Gu Fei is the current business card of the Chinese sports world, but because Gu Fei is not from within the system, no one in the Chinese tennis world can really talk to Gu Fei.

"Coach Becker has a high status in the German tennis world. He is also connected in the ATP and WTA. He can also speak in the field of youth training. When the time comes, you can tell the country and send a team to coordinate so that everyone can have more youth training.

The competition and training are also very good." Gu Fei had also told Becker about these things before. Anyway, Germany and even the ATP and WTA have countless support programs for young players every year. Who is not the same?

Chinese people all have a very simple concept, that is, "If you are poor, you can benefit yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world."

Although Gu Fei has not yet reached the state of 'contributing to the world', it would be a good thing if he could help China Tennis make fewer detours and achieve more results.

After all, now that Gu Fei has established a firm foothold in the international tennis world, it is just a matter of convenience to support his compatriots.

On the same day, Gu Fei also trained with Sun Shengnan, Du Rui and other Chinese players at the hotel where he was staying. He also showed some of his insights on tennis without reservation, releasing goodwill to the domestic tennis management center.

There is still one year to go before the Olympic Games. Naturally, Gu Fei does not want to miss the grand event of returning to his hometown for the 100th Olympic Games. From now on, he must strive to qualify for the Olympic Games.

Although the Binhai Sports Bureau is also helping Gu Fei to operate actively, wouldn't it be better if Gu Fei also takes the initiative to show goodwill?

Zhang Benqiang and Dong Yuesen are also old acquaintances. In the future, he will become the link between Gu Fei's team and the China Tennis Center. This is his best position.

After seeing off the hurried Chinese tennis players, Gu Fei also officially entered Wimbledon time. He began to refuse interviews from all media and secluded himself in a resort hotel, waiting for the official start of Wimbledon.

Because Gu Fei has not participated in a competition in the past two years, according to Wimbledon's weird seeding rules, he is actually the eighth seed player at Wimbledon. This will undoubtedly increase the difficulty for him in the competition, because he has

You may encounter high-ranking players in earlier matches.

However, no matter how difficult the game is, can it have the hellish start of the Australian Open where it encounters the top seed?

The calendar turned to June 23rd, and Wimbledon 2003 was finally about to officially kick off. Players from all walks of life arrived in the small town of Wimbledon, and celebrities from all walks of life, including stars in various fields, also appeared on the lawns.

middle.

Here, everyone has become a tennis fan, cheering for the players with a simple desire to appreciate tennis, and enjoying the sunshine on the outskirts of London.

Of course, those players who are eyeing the Grand Slam are more likely to hide their inner emotions and wait to release them after winning the game.
