The next day, Liang Kun met Sharapova's father Yuri Sharapov, who accompanied his daughter to participate in the Australian Open.

Sharapova once said when she won the Australian Open Grand Slam last year: "There are many people who have been helping me, but my father trusts me the most, he has always supported me, and my trophy is dedicated to my parents. They have been by my side and support me, and my mother has not been with me here all the time, but my father, he is on the scene every game I play."

This is a serious man with a dull face.

Yuri often appears in sports news as a clown, has done a lot of weird things, made some crazy remarks, and was punished by the WTA.

In the quarterfinals of the Australian Open last year, after Sharapova eliminated Haining, Yuri made a "throat cut" move to celebrate his daughter's victory. His move caused great controversy and was almost punished by the WTA. Fortunately, Sharapova showed her superb public relations skills, and the matter ended up in vain.

In tennis, Yuri's name is worthy of the word "notorious". His brothers almost never talk to him because they know what the wait will be. His behavior is also disgraceful to Sharapova's competitors and the media. When his daughter was only 7 years old, he left his wife and took her to the United States, and his behavior was not accepted by Western media.

Yuri's behavior made him an alien. "The Joker in Melbourne Park" was a nickname given to him by local Australian media because he caused trouble at the Australian Open many times.

It was not until many years later that a "ball dad" appeared in the NBA that Yuri was not the most bizarre athlete's father.

Yuri was not disgusted with his daughter making friends with celebrities. He was very polite when he saw Liang Kun, and the two chatted casually for a while. Liang Kun is an international superstar, and he is more famous than Sharapova. Yuri had no confidence to show him his face.

Liang Kun was not disgusted with Yuri, because he issued a mission, which was related to his daughter.

Liang Kun cannot complete a red mission, and Yuri hopes that his daughter can marry into a wealthy family in the future.

Sharapova's growth process was the journey of Cinderella from Russia who gradually grew into a tennis princess in the United States. Her parents had high hopes for her and always hoped that she could be with those who truly grasp social wealth and voice.

The most rumored Sharapova's boyfriend was Absol. Absol's father was an NBC executive and could be regarded as a descendant of a wealthy family. Yuri has always supported Absol, believing that he could help Sharapova truly enter the upper class in the United States. Unfortunately, the two failed to get together, it was just a scandal.

Parallel world, Sharapova and Vujasic were together in 2009. Yuri publicly stated that Vujasic did nothing in his career and opposed the relationship. Sharapova later insisted on getting engaged to Vujasic, proving that the two had true love.

In the end, they broke up. Vujasic was too popular and there was not much news. I wonder if he had ever been revenged by Yuri.

Yuri's mission is only two oranges that Liang Kun can complete.

One is to help Sharapova treat injuries and restore her competitive state; the other is to help Sharapova improve and make a breakthrough in her record.

Liang Kun took it and the tasks were similar, and they had to be completed together. He had a way to help Sharapova improve his strength. With his smart mind and A-level skills, he could discover some of Sharapova's weaknesses through observation.

In addition, if the two won the championship in the mixed doubles competition, although the prize money is not high, multiple championships are also a kind of improvement and a shortcut to completing the task.

Liang Kun and Sharapova trained together and had dinner together on the news, with an exposure rate of 1+1 greater than 2.

Liang Kun is the most popular star in the Australian Open this year. Sharapova's popularity can also rank in the top ten, and local reporters want to follow them all the time.

When the news reached China, Liang fans had new topics to discuss.

"Sharapova had mentioned ten lists of wanting to play mixed doubles before. Everyone thought it was just a joke and it was impossible to really form a team. Now she and Brother Kun really have to form a team to compete? It would be too interesting if they could win the championship."

"As a matter of fact, Brother Kun went to play tennis, and he even found a beautiful woman to play with. Could it be that he was interested in Sharapova and went to play tennis? I haven't heard of them before."

"Sarapova is so tall, she is almost the same as Brother Kun. If she wears high heels, she will be more than 190cm tall. I don't believe that Brother Kun can play tennis well, he doesn't even have a regular coach. Singles can't be enough, and he can win a few games in mixed doubles with Sharaba. Sharaba has won many championships."

"I wonder if Brother Kun will scream when he plays tennis. Sharapova is the most yelling female athlete. Maybe they will form a noisy duo, that would be funny."

Liang fans must not see Liang Kun shouting on the tennis court.

Players who like to scream usually want to overwhelm their opponents in momentum and disrupt their opponents' mentality. This is equivalent to Zhang Fei shouting at Changbanpo to scare away the 100,000 Cao troops, and defeating others without fighting.

They can also use this method to cheer themselves up, mobilize their emotions, and make their bodies exercise better, and their concentration on the competition will also be improved.

Liang Kun doesn't need to do these two points. He has always been very focused on his work, knows how to do the most efficiently, and develops habits. As for overwhelming his opponent, he can rely on his strength and does not have to consider disturbing his opponent's mentality.

A capable person can still win without saying a word and expressionless. In the NBA, there are such stars nicknamed "Stone Buddha". On the contrary, if they are not strong enough, they will dunk, jump shot, and scream on the sidelines? They just look more iron-blooded...

Liang Kun's purpose in the past two days was very clear, but it was not just chatting and practicing. He took the opportunity to put the intermediate recovery potion into Sharapova's sports drink.

Athletes need to rehydrate when playing tennis, and sports drinks are indispensable. Sharapova drank the medicine and drinks cleanly without any sense.

On the 14th, Sharapova got up in a hotel and suddenly felt that her shoulders had completely recovered after the surgery. She was an old injury that had bothered her for a long time, and now she felt as good as she was in 2005.

In 2005, she had laid the groundwork for her withdrawal from the semi-finals of the China Open. She relapsed when she played against Gollervin in the quarterfinals of the US Open in 2006. Later, she continued to treat her conservatively until her right shoulder muscle tear in 2008.

The unprecedented comfort of her shoulders made Sharapova very excited and immediately told her father the good news. Her self-confidence suddenly improved, thinking that she would not be seriously injured this year or be eliminated in the first few rounds.

It is a long-term process for athletes to recover from their state after serious injury and surgery, and many people will never return to their peak. Even if Liang Kun’s intermediate recovery potion is consumed, it can make people recover as before. For athletes, this is a magical medicine.

During the Olympics, Liang Kun tried it on Liu Xiang and never thought of giving Sharapova an injection. He quickly completed 80% of the task of treating Sharapova's injuries. Next, as long as she performed well in the Australian Open and was sure that she would not be injured again, the task should be completed.

The orange mission of making friends was completed, and the reward was +1 of the intermediate recovery potion, and the props used were made up.

At 4:30 p.m. that day, Liang Kun's first qualifying match started.

He couldn't wait to get on the field. After coming to Melbourne, he spent four days a day, sometimes even five days. Other girlfriends said that Teresa always felt unsatisfied when she played in her dream.

Liang Kun's opponent is Gulamanki Sunil, a tennis player from India.

Gulamanki greeted Liang Kun and said in unsmooth English: "I'm so lucky that I actually met an amateur player like you in the first game."

Liang Kun was stunned for a moment and smiled and said, "You must have never seen me training. I hope you can still think so after the game."

It was just a qualifying match, but the stadium and stands were full of people, and there were live broadcasts on local TV stations and broadcasts on China, Japan and South Korea. All of this was because Liang Kun participated in the competition.

Gulamanki thinks this is a good opportunity.

He is an average-talented tennis player, 182cm tall, weighs 75 kg, and has relatively ordinary conditions.

He is 30 years old this year and has declined in form. He ranked 117th in the ATP highest ranking four years ago. This sounds good because there are tens of thousands of male tennis players around the world who want to participate in major competitions. But 117 means that more than 100 people in the front are better than him, and it is difficult to win the championship, and there is a huge gap with the top ten players.

Gulamanki could only play in China. After leaving India, he felt that he would not remember his name until he retired.

He was unwilling to let his career go like this, but there was nothing he could do because he didn't have the strength to win the championship trophy.

Today, an opportunity to become famous suddenly appeared in front of him.

If he defeated Liang Kun hard, maybe many people would remember his name while ridiculing Liang Kun for overestimating his ability to play tennis. After all, he defeated a big star with many titles, and maybe he would be discussed for a long time.

Those who have watched Liang Kun's training will not regard meeting him as luck. They all know that Liang Kun is super strong and will definitely win the qualifying round easily. They also know that someone is going to be unlucky in the main competition. Because Liang Kun is not ranked, no matter how he is grouped in the main competition, he will meet the top-ranked opponents.

The first game has begun.

Gulamanki serves first, and he has already decided to fight and decide quickly, so he will definitely not be polite to Liang Kun.

Everyone knows that Liang Kun has super physical fitness and unlimited physical strength, because he is the holder of the 800-meter world record and the first person in the world to run into 1 minute and 40 seconds.

Even in the qualifying round, there is a five-game three-win system. Gulamanki knew that delaying for a long time would be detrimental to him. Although Liang Kun is a rookie who lacks competition experience, he must be very confident in his body to participate.

Gulamanki wanted to use his skills and rich experience to defeat the rookie and refused to capsize.

He sent the ball out with great angle and fast speed. He believed it would be an ACE ball.
