The Tennis Masters is now a ATP1000 tournament with nine tournaments in Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo, Rome, Madrid, Canada (alternating between Montreal and Toronto), Cincinnati, Lu and Paris.

This series of tournaments is extremely important for the top men's tennis players, second only to the four Grand Slams of tennis and the ATP World Tour Finals.

The Paris Masters is a tennis tournament held annually in Paris, the capital of France. It is one of the ATP Masters Series (and usually the last ATP Masters Series of the year).

As the most famous men's tennis player in China, Li Cai has been sought after by many Europeans with his gorgeous tennis skills, which also makes Li Cai qualify.

Since it is the last Masters in 10 years, players who have been tired after a season of fatigue often encounter "Waterloo" here. It's not uncommon for a dark horse to make one last leap and then squeeze those who would otherwise make it to the Masters out of the final eight-man roster.

Therefore, Li Cai is not a seeded player, but he is a promising dark horse.

As a result, after the opening of the Domestic Hope Cup, Li Cai did not pay attention to the trilogy between Kong Erjie and Lee Sedol. He left Shangjing and went to Paris, France, to prepare for the Paris Masters.

Originally, Li Cai could also participate in the Lushi Masters, but because the final time of the Beijing Open conflicted with the Lushi Masters, he naturally could not participate.

Therefore, the Paris Masters is the first ATP1000 tournament Li Cai has participated in, and it is also the last ATP tournament in Li Cai's 10 years of tennis.

Because the time of the competition is November, France

As a region on the Atlantic coast, the weather in November is relatively cold, and the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large.

Therefore, Li Cai wore a thick down jacket to prevent himself from catching a cold and affecting the state of the game.

When he came to Paris, Li Cai didn't have the heart to enjoy the scenery.

After all, winter is the most annoying.

Li Cai would rather shrink in the quilt and stay bored than go out for a walk.

With the air conditioner turned on in the hotel, the whole room was warm, and Li Cai was even more reluctant to go out, and asked the waiter to bring in three meals a day, which also made coach Carlos feel helpless.

After nearly two years of getting along for a long time, Carlos naturally knew Li Cai, and knew that although Li Cai was talented, he also trained hard.

But there is a shortcoming, that is, as soon as winter comes, Li Cai changes, tennis training is all maintenance exercises, not hard training, leaving early and returning late.

In Li Cai's words, it's too cold, and when the wind blows, there is no passion, and when the weather is a little warmer, you just need to practice more.

Carlos listened, and there was no way to take Li Cai, and Li Cai's current tennis skills are already very good, and it is okay to maintain sexual training every day, if you overtrain and injure your body, you will lose a lot of money.

For every athlete, staying healthy and free from injuries will not reduce their competitive strength much, and this is the case of tennis king Federer, who can win the Australian Open at a Grand Slam tennis tournament after the age of 36.

The Paris Masters began quickly, and the first opponent Li met was Simon, a native of France.

As mentioned earlier, because it is the last tennis Masters in 10 years, many tennis players are not in shape, and this French player Simon is also one of them, and Li Cai won two games in a row 6:2 and 6:4 and easily won and advanced.

And Li Cai's opponent in the next round is the winner between Djokovic and Rodela.

Li Cai originally thought that Djokovic would win and advance to play against him, so that he could take revenge, and he was ashamed of being defeated by Djokovic at the Beijing Open.

But what I didn't expect was that Djokovic actually lost to Rodra, which also broke a big upset, which made Li Cai's idea of shame come to naught.

Although he regretted it, Li Cai still took his opponent Rodra seriously and did not underestimate any tennis player.

The difference between a tennis game and a Go game is that there are too many factors that affect the performance of the game, and the game is more intensive, and the champion will be decided in ten days, unlike a game of Go, after the preliminary round, the game will be played in a few months, and the competition for almost a year will be divided into three stages, with a long time apart.

Although it is considered that in the process of the Go game, the players can give full play to their strength and make the game more exciting, but it also limits the development of Go, and after the game lasts for a long time, many viewers will lose patience or forget the game, and when the game is over, they only know who won the championship, and the game is completely unknown, which also leads to the charm of Go can not be displayed.

Unlike other sports, if you make a mistake and you can save it, if you make a mistake and the opponent seizes the opportunity, you can basically declare the game over and lose.

Therefore, if the game is too intensive, the game will not be very exciting, and the so-called "one of the gods" and "eternal famous games" will be difficult to see.

This is also the limitation of the game of Go, if you want to ensure the quality of the game, the game time will be longer, if the game time is shortened, the quality of the game cannot be guaranteed, just like the chess game, it is an unsolvable chess game!

Therefore, what Li Cai can do is to increase the prize money of the game, improve the influence of Go, attract more people's attention, let more people learn Go, and feel the charm of Go.

In the next round of tennis, Li Cai played against Rodra.

Although Rodra won against Djokovic, the tennis strength did not surpass Djokovic.

Li Cai won both games against Rodra 6-3, 6-3 and easily entered the semi-finals of the Paris Masters.

Li Cai's opponent in the semifinals is France's local player "Black Little Cool" Monfils.

The other semi-final was a Swiss derby, where Fei Tianwang and heavy artillery Soderling faced off.

Fei Tianwang reached the semifinals for the first time at the Paris Masters, which is also related to the fact that he participates in too many tennis matches every year, and by this time, his strength is very average.

And the heavy artillery Soderling, the ball is very powerful, which makes people more strenuous and more headaches.

Li Cai and Soderling won in two games in the game, easily solving the opponent's entry into the semifinals, unlike Monfils and Fei Tianwang, who struggled to enter the semifinals.

Despite this, the majority of those who are optimistic about French players "Black Little Cool" Monfils and Fei Tianwang entering the final to compete for the championship.

After all, Li Cai and Soderling are both newcomers who reached the semifinals of the Paris Masters for the first time, which is the so-called dark horse.

But the result was beyond everyone's expectations, Li Cai and Soderlin won against Monfils and Fei Tianwang respectively and entered the final.
