Chapter 187: Become the No. 1 in the World!
After the French Open, after the doping checks, the latest ATP world standings were released. Fastest updates
Li won the French Open and moved up just one place in the world rankings, just past Federer in third place and behind Nadal and Djokovic.
Although Li Cai's world ranking has increased slowly, it is not because of his lack of strength, but because he has participated in too few competitions and gained fewer points.
In this year's tennis ATP event, Li Cai has only participated in two ATP events so far, that is, the Australian Open and the French Open, and the championship of these two events also brought Li Cai 4,000 points, plus the first place in the tennis year-end competition last year, 1,500 more points, so that Li Cai ranked third in the world.
There is still a difference of two or three thousand points between Djokovic and Nadal, after all, they have won good positions in ATP Masters and various ATP tournaments, and the accumulation of points is no less than that of a Grand Slam champion.
There is only a 300-point gap between Li Cai and Nadal, while there is a difference of about 1,700 points between him and Djokovic.
The reason why Djokovic is so high is that he won the runner-up in the Australian Open and the French Open, and the points are still very considerable, so he can maintain his position as the world's No. 1.

The Wimbledon Tennis Championships is the oldest and most prestigious tournament in tennis and the only grass-court tournament in the four Grand Slams.
Wimbledon has always been considered the most prestigious of the four Grand Slams, and in the eyes of many traditional Britons, grass is the most orthodox tennis game, representing aristocratic elegance. The biggest reason why Wimbledon has become so popular is that Wimbledon has a "tradition" that is completely different from the other three Grand Slams.
"What is traditional is the world. "That's the classic overview of Wimbledon.
In the eyes of the traditional British, the low-cost clay courts of the French Open are used only by those savages, so how can a true aristocrat play on the clay courts? As for the hard courts of the Australian Open and the US Open, that kind of modern product is even more disdained by the traditional British.
The British are proud of Wimbledon, but it is also a source of national anguish and humour, and no British male has won Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936, which is also a shame for the British.
Murray has so many supporters because he is the best tennis player in the UK and the British player with the best chance of winning Wimbledon.
This was supposed to be the year of Murray's explosion, and he would win the tennis gold medal at the London Olympics and his first Grand Slam trophy, the US Open Grand Slam title.
Even next year, Murray won the Wimbledon men's singles title again as a British.
It's a pity that Li Cai is going to win the Golden Slam this year, and Murray's gold medal and first Grand Slam trophy are about to be lost, so he can only go to Wimbledon next year to win the trophy as his first Grand Slam.
It's easy for tennis players to win Wimbledon in a row, such as Sweden's Bjorn Björberg's five consecutive Wimbledon titles from 1976 to 1980, Sampras's seven Wimbledon titles from 1993 to 2000, and Federer's five Wimbledon titles from 2003 to 2007.
As the last champion, Djokovic is naturally favored to defend his title, that is, the top seed player in Wimbledon this time, although Li is ranked second in the world points, but in last year's Wimbledon competition, he stopped in the quarterfinals, did not even enter the semifinals, and lost to Djokovic.
However, considering that Li Cai is good at pre-net skills and has won several Grand Slam trophies with offensive means, the organizers of Wimbledon still gave Li Cai the status of the No. 3 seed.
As for the second-seeded Federer, who was strong at Wimbledon, Nadal can only be the fourth-seeded player.
And Murray, who is playing at home, can only change from the "fourth in ten thousand years" to the "fifth in ten thousand years" seeded player.
There is still a week before Wimbledon starts, and there are still two time slots to play two ATP matches on grass courts to warm up.
But because of the doping incident, Djokovic, as a doubter, was in the midst of the turmoil, so he naturally did not have the heart to participate in the grass court match that began the next day after the end of the French Open.
And when Li proved his innocence, Djokovic didn't have the heart to participate in the grass court match before Wimbledon, also to avoid media interviews, because Djokovic knew that when reporters interviewed him, it must be a very troublesome question, and it would be difficult for him to answer it at that time.
Djokovic was training a private grass court in England in preparation for Wimbledon a week later.
"But it doesn't matter, it's just me defending my title at Wimbledon and keeping my No. 1 position in the world, and those things will be forgotten very quickly. ”
…………
There are many lawn tennis courts in the UK, and after arriving in the UK, Li Cai rented a lawn tennis court not far from Wimbolton.
Li Cai took his team to start the pre-match training.
Because of last year's Wimbledon, Li stopped in the quarterfinals, and the coach is still Coach Carlos, not the current Coach Zhang.
Although Coach Zhang can't guide Li Cai's tennis movements, Li Cai doesn't need guidance. But one thing that Coach Zhang is better than Coach Carlos is that he has comprehensive theoretical knowledge and rich content.
At this time, Coach Zhang was popularizing science for Li Cai on the grass field.
"Grass courts are the least frictional courts, and the ball bounces the lowest, about three-quarters of the way on hard courts. ”
Li Cai nodded, although he had not analyzed these data, he had also felt it through the practice of the game.
Coach Zhang continued: "On the grass court, there is a noticeable slippage after the ball lands, which greatly reduces the time for players to prepare for the ball. At the same time, the grass cannot be covered very evenly like other sites, and the foundation is also uneven. Therefore, the rebound of the ball on the grass is very irregular, and as the game progresses, there are some areas of the grass that will be smoothed out due to the athlete's long-term running, so it is more difficult to grasp the direction of the ball, which also requires the athlete to be familiar with the performance of the grass, as well as good anticipation and agility, which are good at you. ”
Coach Zhang thought for a while and said: "One of the advantages of the grass court is that the power of the serve will be much greater, especially the high-speed flat serve, which is the deadliest weapon at Wimbledon. It can be very difficult to return the ball, with little loss of frictional velocity through the grass and a low bounce height, leaving very little room for the receiver to react. You, the tennis speed holder, have a huge advantage in this regard. ”
In the end, Coach Zhang concluded: "In general, when playing a grass game, you must attack, and whoever has a sharper attack will win." So I think Wimbledon is heaven for you, as strong as Nadal at the French Open, and you have the fastest serve in the world, and you have the best and most comprehensive skills in front of the net, so if nothing happens, you should win Wimbledon and win the Grand Slam. ”
In the following week, Li Cai began to train on the grass court, and when Li Cai gradually became familiar with the characteristics of the grass court, he only maintained the ball every day and did not do too much training.
And before the start of the Wimbledon competition, the system, which had been quiet for a long time, issued a mission.
"Win Wimbledon and become the number one in the world. ”
