Tennis Imagines

Pablo Carreño-Busta

For the people who don't know who Mats and Barbara are, those are the two people who always present ''Game, Schett & Mats ''. The man is Mats, and the woman is Barbara. I can't imagine that nobody knows them, but just to be sure! Have fun reading this story with Pablo!

''Are you ready y/n? Please, make him feel comfortable. It's his first very first time here, so he must be feeling so nervous'' Mats said to you as he looked at you with big eyes. It was your first time ever that you had an interview for Game Schett and Mats. 

Before, you always used to work behind the camera's instead of on the camera's. You were the director of the writers and you loved your job, but when Mats asked you in a hurry to interview a tennis player, you said yes without thinking that you'd never done it before. And when you heard it would be Pablo Carreño Busta, you totally freaked out. But here you are, standing across Mats who was giving you the last clues and the last tips before Pablo would enter the stage and before the cameras would roll.

''Okay, he's very humble and he's very nice but once you start asking questions about his childhood....'' Mats looked behind him, ''you'd better not to that okay? He doesn't like talking about his childhood'' you nodded, you already read that online. ''I know, I won't ask him about that. I'll try to make him feel comfortable with me'' you answered and Mats smiled at you. He placed his hands onto your shoulder. 

''Good luck, I'm sure you can pull this off greatly y/n. Thank you for doing this'' and he walked away to his place on the bench, to open the program with his friend and co-presenter, Barbara Schett. 

Once the show started you felt massive butterflies in your stomach. This was your time to shine, to let the world know who you were and to interview one of the stars of this tournament: Pablo. You really loved the way he played, and not to forget he was a real cutie on the field. Once you saw him walking in, looking at you you smiled and began your talk. 

''Welcome to the studio of Game Schett and Mats Pablo! How are you feeling today!?'' you said, as you gave him a hug. It surprised you that the tennis player was comfortabel enough to give you a hug. 

''Thank you so much y/n, I'm really excited to be here actually. I am feeling great, how are you feeling today!?'' Pablo asked, looking directly into your eyes. Your heart skipped a beat, how the hell did he know your name? Did Mats tell him your name? 

''I'm doing lovely, thanks for asking but I believe we are here for you today. So how do you feel in the tournament? Did you expect to get this far?'' you asked, once you still wondered how he knew your name. You noticed that he was thinking, and you looked at him. His hair was messy, apparently he didn't really cared that he was live on television with his messy hair right now.

He laughed a bit, ''yeah we are here for me, but we can't ignore the fact what a great writer you are. I've read your work!'' Pablo asked, your mouth fell open a bit. ''But yeah, I've never thought that I would get this far in the tournament. I mean, I've beaten so many players that I've thought I would never beat. For example, Diego Schwartzman! He's such a great player and even though I was a placed player and he qualifier, I thought he would win. So yeah, I am really excited''

''Yeah, I can imagine!'' you answered, not knowing what to say. You were kind of blown away by the fact what he answered. Was he flirting with you? Or was he just being himself? You heard and read that he was a flirty person, but now that he did it to you - or not, you didn't know - you didn't know how to react on it.

''And now you're into the semi finals,'' you quickly added to make the silence between the questions as short as possible. ''How are you feeling about facing Kevin Anderson? Are you confident about it? Or do you think that it's going to be a tough match?'' you asked, as you saw that he was still looking at you.
