Chapter 1085 Invitation From China Open

"Everyone under me has a sponsorship contract, and he wants to get one too. Adi's PT is just an opportunity." Gao Yuanyuan said with a smile.

Li Ba said: "He hasn't come out yet."

"Without a sneaker contract, there is no status. Let's sign a small contract first." Gao Yuanyuan said with a smile.

Li Ba had no choice but to send Harden and Guoguo away to play. He told Gao Yuanyuan about Xin Nancheng's call to him.

"Have you blocked him? I've blocked him too. Ignore him. If he bothers you again, you can find a way to get rid of him. He's just a director of the sports department. You can do it."

Gao Yuanyuan looked indifferent.

"..."

Li Ba was speechless, am I that capable?

"Where's Sissi?" Gao Yuanyuan asked.

"I'm doing a facial mask in the room. Hats are not allowed here at Wimbledon because I'm getting tanned."

After Li Ba said this, he suddenly remembered something and asked: "Xin Nancheng contacted me, and he should also contact Da Zhi and Ah Lian..."

Gao Yuanyuan said: "I was about to discuss this matter with you. The center has contacted them a long time ago. The two guys have already gone to the training camp. It has been almost a week. I did not ask them to go. It was Xin Nancheng who asked them to go directly. After contacting them, they informed me and asked me not to tell you.”

Li Ba was startled and shook his head: "It's okay to say that the substitute's playing time is limited, but the Arab League has played hundreds of games and he is the main force. Now he is playing in the Asian Championships. Do you want to get injured?"

"I'm thinking about it now. If you step in, the two of them won't be able to handle it." Gao Yuanyuan said.

"Of course I'll come forward. I won't go to him either. I'll go directly to the Sports Federation." Li Ba said coldly.

"Then I'll ask Alien and Da Zhi to take sick leave first. Their physiques are not as good as yours. What if they get injured?" Gao Yuanyuan said.

"You go ahead and tell them not to be so stupid. There is nothing to fight in the Asian Championships. What we want to win is the world championship." Li Ba said.

At noon, Zhang Junhui and Director Lin arrived in London.

They contacted Li Ba as soon as they got off the plane. When they called, Li Ba was about to leave the hotel.

"Oh, you guys are looking for me. I'm still in the hotel. You... just go to Court No. 1. I'll be there soon. The game is at two o'clock." Li Ba said.

Although he didn't know him, he was mentally prepared for people from the Tennis Center and China Open to come to him, but he didn't expect to find him directly.

When Zhang Junhui and Director Lin rushed to Court No. 1, Li Ba was being interviewed by the media.

Seeing so many media surrounding Li Ba, Zhang Junhui said excitedly: "If the Hammers return to China to participate in the China Open, our work this year will be much easier."

After finally waiting for Li Ba to finish the interview, the two of them ran forward to say hello.

The two parties exchanged pleasantries, and Li Ba asked: "You came all the way here, so I asked directly, so I should

Nothing else, do you want me to participate in the China Open? "

Zhang Junhui said quickly: "Yes, yes, Hammer, our China Open will be fully upgraded this year and we will invest a lot. We especially need the participation of influential superstars like you..."

Li Ba smiled and said: "The China Open is about a month later than the US Open. I really don't plan to participate because I still want to take a rest before the start of the new season."

Zhang Junhui and Director Lin looked at each other with obvious disappointment in their eyes, but they still understood what Li Ba said.

At this time, Li Ba said again: "But you have come so far, and I would be embarrassed not to participate."

When Zhang Junhui and Zhang Junhui heard this, they were immediately overjoyed.

Li Ba said: "Let's do this. I won't play in the qualifying rounds. Just give me a wild card for the main draw."

"Absolutely!"

Director Lin and Zhang Junhui nodded and smiled.

Li Ba got two tickets for the two of them, invited them to watch his game, and then went to prepare for the game.

"Both of you, please introduce yourselves. I am Gao Yuanyuan, Iron Hammer's manager. If anything happens in the future, you can contact me directly."

"Hello, Miss Gao."

After Li Ba left, Gao Yuanyuan came up to greet the two of them. The three of them exchanged greetings and exchanged contact information.

That afternoon, the third round of Wimbledon began, and Li Ba once again passed the third round with a score of 3-0.

In this game, his opponent was weaker than Safin. He played a total of 35 games. Li Ba got break points a total of 8 times and broke serve in 5 games. The break rate was only 62.5%, which is not high.

In terms of break rate, apart from maintaining serve with his strong serving ability, his overall strength is indeed not good.

However, his hold rate is still 100% and he has not been broken.

After passing the third round, Li Ba entered the fourth round of the main competition. There were only 4 players left in each division, and there were only 8 players in the entire second half, and there were only 16 players in total.

Back at the hotel, before dinner, Li Ba talked in detail with Director Lin and Zhang Junhui about the China Open.

The China Open has been upgraded and now has a different level. The women's event is the only four crown jewel events of the WTA, while the men's event has become one of the ATP500 events.

The so-called WTA and ATP refer to women's and men's international tour events. They are two completely different events and are also one of the most important international events in tennis.

On the whole, the China Open is second only to the four Grand Slam tournaments, and together with the Indian Wells Masters, Miami Masters and Madrid Masters, it is also known as the four major super events.

After dinner and separation from Lin and Zhang, Li Ba called Gao Yuanyuan back to the room to chat.

"You said, what kind of PT is Nike doing this time? Is it targeting me?" Li Ba asked.

"Don't worry, Adidas is still the main player in Europe." Gao Yuanyuan said with a smile.

"What I'm worried about now is the China Open. What will you do if Nike doesn't let its big brands participate?" Li Ba said.

The girl said from the side: "Didn't they say that the prize money at the China Open this year is high and they don't want to compete?"

Gao Yuanyuan said: "When it was the turn of the China Open, all four Grand Slams had been played. At that time, everyone was tired and maybe injured. It was like that in the past few years. There were not many big names participating, and the China Open did not have an impact. Power. Now that you say it, it’s really possible.”

Li Ba chuckled and said, "Director Lin and Mr. Zhang are still pointing at me. They didn't expect that I might implicate China Open."

"Pfft!" The girl and Gao Yuanyuan laughed.

"This is just speculation. Nike may not have such strong control over those big brands. After all, they are not a sponsor."

Gao Yuanyuan smiled.

The girl thought for a while and smiled: "I think it's the opposite. Nike may support them to play in the Chinese Open."

"Why?" Li Ba asked.

"Big Hammer, you are stupid. Didn't you say that they want to stop you and Adi in the tennis field? Those big names are not going, what if you win the championship?" The girl said with a smile.

"Oh, what Sissi said makes sense. Although the China Open is not one of the four Grand Slam tournaments, it is not bad now. It is also a championship title. If you get it, it will definitely have a different meaning than if others get it. You It is a cross-border, and it is a cross-border, and you can also win a championship title second only to the Grand Slam, which will definitely give you the icing on the cake and reach a higher level." Gao Yuanyuan said with a smile.
