The Masters Cup is divided into two stages, the first stage is the group stage, eight players, divided into two groups, each with four dozen intra-group tours, the top two players with the most wins enter the second round, if the two players are evenly divided, then the winner of the match against each other determines who can advance.

In the second stage of the tiebreaker, the first place in both groups will each face the second place in the other group, which means that the loser will face a stronger opponent and have a better chance of being eliminated.

However, the players in each group are different, and the characteristics may also be different, and it is not without the second player who reversed and won the championship.

Compared with ordinary matches that start to be eliminated from the first round, the five matches in the final of the Masters Cup are all against top players, which is far more difficult than the Grand Slam.

Just like Fan Ju's three opponents, even if they meet in the finals of the Masters, it is not surprising, but now they have to play like this in the first round, if they don't play on the group tour, even Fan Ju thinks Alexander.

"The first round was Roddick, which was troublesome enough." Although the group stage of the Masters Cup is determined, the order of the matches will be determined before the match.

And Fan Ju's group was the first to face him with Roddick, but he didn't expect that he was still ridiculing this resentful cannon the day before, and today he will have bad retribution.

If compared, Fan Ju would prefer to meet Henman in the first round, after all, he is more confident in dealing with Henman, even with the same tactical play, he has the advantage of being young and strong.

At the end of the season, most of the players' physical fitness has dried up, and the young people can't stand it, let alone Henman, who has entered a period of physical decline.

Both Federer and Fan Ju are to save the body for the end of the year. Not to mention the other players.

"Hi Andy. I heard that you were not feeling well two days ago, are you okay today? Fan Ju joked when he saw Roddick. He knew that American lads liked this kind of joke, as long as there was no malice.

Sure enough, Roddick shook his head helplessly: "You know, they're so annoying, it's either you or Roger, I really want to say, hey, man, I'm still here!" ”

Roddick was also joking, he didn't understand there. This year, there is nothing to do with him in tennis.

Roddick was a little careless on the field, not that he was not serious, but that he was obviously not as fierce as the ordinary game, and the third place at the end of the year was locked, and the second place was hopeless.

If it is just an ordinary promotion, it is meaningless to him, Roddick is an emotional player, and the fluctuation of mentality has a great impact on his performance.

Just like the time of Roddick's rise back then, one Masters tournament after another, and Roddick, who came up, won the world's No. 1 ranking just by serving. I don't know how many people were shocked.

But before the world had time to sigh and the era of serving came, Roddick's other shortcomings were exposed, such as a rough backhand and a monotonous style of play. As long as you can hold down his first beat, you can restrain this player who is standing on the top of the world.

But Roddick's survival is not bad for Fan Ju and Federer, and Roddick is not the door guard. Those players with delicate skills may cause more problems for the two.

On the contrary, Roddick's roughness is precisely the play that inhibits the play of a delicate player like Nalbandian. It can be said that one thing is one thing, there is no strongest, only stronger.

Fan Ju just played as usual. Roddick was also playing his rhythm as usual, but he conceded more goals and won fewer goals, so naturally the score was biased towards Fan Ju's side.

"Andy, you should be more serious." Fan Ju said to Roddick as he shook hands.

He didn't want the game to be so boring, but Roddick was really out of shape, and Fan Ju couldn't force it, and he was expected to have a hard game, but he played so half-heartedly, there was really a feeling that Fan Ju couldn't help but shake his head.

Fortunately, other people still have the intention of fighting with Fan Ju, and Henman obviously does not plan to retire just yet, and he is still so stubborn in serving and playing at the net.

Even if Fan Ju gave him a better path, Henman did not learn to absorb it, just as he did on the clay court, and consistently used his own style of play.

However, Fan Ju's tactics are not something that everyone can learn, and ultra-high reflexes can only determine future achievements, but physical athleticism has extremely high requirements.

Technical suppression, accurate raid at the moment of returning the ball, you can find that there are many characteristics of special players in it.

If you have Santoro's improvisation and finesse at the net, Hewitt's quick footwork, your strong forehand with a strong rhythm, and your serve strong enough to suppress your opponent's serve, then you can consider opting for Fanju's all-round netting, a top-notch form of play that is as difficult as Federer's all-round play.

The requirements are very high, and as for Fan Ju's comprehensive Internet access, it is still in the stage of no successor, maybe after waiting for more than ten years, another genius will appear to create a set of playing styles that are more suitable for continuous improvement in the tennis world.

Henman was defeated in the end, he had the pressure of serving at the net, but lacked the defensive ability when the opponent launched an attack, and the attack and defense were unbalanced, which may also be the biggest weakness of the serve and net tactics.

It's not that the ball speed is too fast, it's not that the players have become different, it's just that there is no strong enough player to appear, just like Fan Ju, who reverses the unbalanced offensive and defensive form into a balanced offensive and defensive state, creating his own era and miracle.

Fan Ju's two consecutive wins have already confirmed his qualification for the group, and the next game will determine his fate of first or second place in the group.

In addition to Fan Ju, there is another player who holds a winning record in this match, Federer, the man who competes with Fan Ju for the world No. 1 ranking, and is defending his turf with his own strength.

Fan Ju and Federer are now facing the same problem, whether to lose or win!

In the eyes of the audience, it may be the most normal for the two to win the third game to qualify as the top of the group, but the problem is that Federer will not allow Fan to advance to the final.

Because whether Fan Ju wins the championship or not, the final championship will also belong to him, which is unfair to Federer, he cannot rely on others to defend his championship, nor can he lose his throne because of others.

"Is he going to snipe me?" Fan Ju had no choice but to do so, and his third round was going to be played a little earlier than Federer.

In other words, after he decides the winner, whether it is first or second, Federer can choose to win or lose the game and contain him in the semi-finals.

The media probably didn't think of this possibility, but when they found out, they suddenly started to go crazy, even if Federer's team didn't realize it, and I'm afraid they now know what to do.

"It seems that you can't escape this catastrophe, so you can only face it." Fan Ju couldn't help but sigh, fortunately, this choice was lost to the opponent, otherwise if he gave it to himself, no matter how he chose, he would not be able to escape the scolding.

Avoiding the early decisive battle to keep the first ranking, which may be glamorous in the results, but it will definitely become a stain on the career, even if you win the opponent in the final, it is very likely to be considered that the opponent has been affected by losing the year-end first, as for losing, it is even more inferior to others, relying on means to win the disgraceful first place.

And choose to face? Then it will be even worse for himself, Fan Ju will be under great pressure, and if he wins, he will only end up being brave and unscrupulous, and if he loses, he will have to bear the title of being smart and arrogant.

As for Federer's choice, there is no problem, whether it is sniping in advance or looking at the right watch, it is only a tactical choice.

Even whether they win or lose, it will not affect the results of the two, if they lose second, they will not snipe or second, no matter how they choose, they don't have to think about it much.

Since he wants to choose, Fan Ju intends to give the opponent a little difficulty, anyway, the right to qualify has been locked, so it is better to let the opponent come to him.

"I didn't work hard, and Fan Ju also learned badly." The pros don't understand what Fan Ju is doing, since you're going to snipe me, then win the third person first and then come to me.

Although Fan Ju felt that with Federer's strength, it would not be difficult to win Moya, but what if he lost? Picking up the first place in vain, Fan Ju is not built at all.

As for Hewitt, he is also depressed, he and Fan Ju have also locked in the right to qualify, and they also won Roddick and Henman, and Fan Ju is the first place in the group.

But at the moment, Fan Ju didn't take himself seriously at all, but he didn't know that Fan Ju originally planned to use him as a starting point to start the promotion, but who would have thought that things had changed and he had to deliberately lose the last game.

Hewitt also has a temper, of course, he won't wrestle on the court, he can only try to play the game more "exciting", Fan Ju also cooperates, and the high ball is very happy, he plans to lose, but he doesn't plan to lose ugly.

This made the audience see a Masters Cup match as an exhibition match between top players, which seemed to be lively, but only the players knew how much work there was.

"I wish you the next win and don't let our show go to waste." Hewitt is also helpless, both of them have already qualified, and it can be said that the result of this game can allow him to go further and not suffer.

It's better to play with Safin than with Federer, Safin and Hewitt were also old rivals in their early years, and Hewitt also took Safin's class and climbed to the No. 1 position in the world.

However, unlike Fan Ju, Safin's strength at that time had begun to be unstable, while Federer was at the true peak of his career, and if he wanted to decide the winner, he could not win a few tournaments on the tour.

Federer did not disappoint Fan Ju, easily swept Moya 2:0 and qualified for the finals, and also locked Fan Ju to compete in the semi-finals! (To be continued......)
