The date for the start of the Heineken Open in Shanghai is approaching, and the US Open has already decided the final winner at this time.

On September 7, the final of the US Open ushered in, and with the high momentum of winning two Masters, Roddick lived up to expectations and won the first Grand Slam of his career on his home turf, successfully taking over Samprasban.

"Maybe it's a success, but the title of world number one was hacked away by Ferrero." Fan Ju looked at the latest world rankings, shook his head and commented with a smile.

Roddick is strong, with two Masters tournaments and one Grand Slam, but Ferrero is not bad, finishing second at the US Open, knocking out Agassi in the quarter-finals, allowing him to climb to the top of the world on September 8 with a narrow lead over Roddick.

Of course, Nadal, who is also a Spaniard, is very dissatisfied with this, and King Ferrero actually ran in front of him and won the world number one for Spain, how can he accept this?

Fan Ju only needs to express his silence in this regard, who called Spanish tennis too strong, changed the country, let alone the world No. 1, even the No. 1 in Asia, no one can come to grab it, what results can he play, and the record of Chinese tennis can be refreshed.

The strongest player is now even enough to give him a hand, and another Zhu Benqiang, who is partnered with Zeng Shaodi, Fan Ju has also seen it, and it is indeed technically stronger than Zeng Shaodi's table, but there are only some, and there is still a big gap from Cheng Dù of the challenge.

It can only be seen in future tournaments, and even the real lowest-level professional challenge can only be entered by wild cards. This is the current situation of Chinese men's tennis except for Fan Ju.

The difference between Roddick and Ferrero in the top of the standings is only 85 points, calculated in terms of results. All it takes is a tour-level title to turn the rankings around.

In the media predictions, Ferrero may not be able to withstand Roddick's strong catch-up, coupled with the year-end finals in Roddick's home stadium Houston, USA, indicating that the final victory and defeat in 2003 is not over.

As for the other gaps in the US Open. Fan Ju only got a little understanding, such as Federer's second defeat to Nalbandian, as if he had met the nemesis of his career.

Maybe Roddick can win the championship. Thanks to Nalbandian's help to solve Federer's big enemy, I am afraid that the final victory or defeat in the second half of the semifinals is really unpredictable.

"After the US Open, it's the ATP off-season, and those top players plus the Masters finals are only 3 or 4 matches." Fan Ju finished watching the game, and casually flipped through the schedule announced by others. Look at yourself after the intense game schedule. I can only sigh.

The training still has to continue, and the strengthening cannot be less, in a word, one qiē for the championship!

The list of contests has been down, and as a related account of the organizers, it is naturally easier for Fan Ju to get some behind-the-scenes information, regardless of whether it is fair or not, but just to confirm the list of contestants one step earlier. From this, we can judge the division and position that Fan Ju is in the game, and what opponents he may encounter.

No. 4 seed. With a ranking of 41st in the world, the average tour event held in Europe and the United States may not even qualify as a seeded player, but the competition in Asia is much lower.

Although the top three seeded players are only ranked 12th, 15th and 16th, but when they reach the No. 5 seed, the ranking suddenly falls to 50 places, and if there is no Fan Ju's participation, I am afraid that there are only three professional masters who can be regarded as the top 50 in this competition.

These players are undoubtedly invited by the organizing committee to support the scene, no way, if the top seed doesn't even have a world TOP50 ranking, the level of this competition is too low.

However, the opponent is not strong, but it has a lot of benefits for Fan Ju, two wins in three sets, plus players who are not really top players, no matter how you look at it, you have a chance to win the championship.

"The chances are still quite big, at least more than in other games." Fan Ju has seen the results of several people and made this judgment.

Not everyone is easy to deal with, at least Fan Ju doesn't dare to underestimate the results of one of them, and that person is the opponent who played the final against Federer at Wimbledon this year, Mark Anthony Phillipsis, who is known as the Australian cannon with his strong serve!

Is your opponent's serve hard to deal with? Fan Ju shook his head, having seen the unique serve of players like Roddick and Federer, he had seen and experienced the strongest serve in the world.

Federer's large-angle and precise serve, Roddick's powerful rocket launcher, everyone's serve is very powerful, and they can even successfully suppress their own hair extensions at double speed, but if they want to completely defeat Fan Ju by serving, no one has done this now, no one!

It doesn't matter if you are hit by your opponent or not, what matters is how to get those key serves that will affect the game back, Fan Ju has this ability, giving opponents headaches with extensions, and he is now also capable of suppressing opponents on the baseline with serves.

"I forgot, there's still a doubles match, and I don't know how many rounds I'll be able to make it to with this partner." Because of the doubles and singles at the same time, it is common practice in tennis matches to arrange doubles matches where colleagues have players after singles.

In this way, you can play your best in singles and show your strength, and in doubles, you can rely more on the assistance of your peers to reduce the consumption of your body.

The match between Fan Ju and Gonzalez lasted for 3 hours and 48 minutes, close to four hours of high-intensity competition, and if it weren't for the fact that Fan Ju used double speed beyond the limit at the end, the body would definitely be enough to continue to support it.

Compared with singles, which usually can be decided in about an hour and a half to two hours, the body lì requirements are far less than that of Grand Slams, especially the doubles upper body lì consumption is much lower than that of singles, on the contrary, it is more beneficial to Fan Ju.

"What if you could save some speed in singles and then take a break before the doubles?" Fan Ju referred to the schedule of the games to be played in private, and arranged his own game schedule.

Sharapova, this girl arrived in Shanghai many days later than Fan Ju, as soon as she arrived in Shanghai, she dragged Fan Ju to take her to "go shopping", Fan Ju, where did the old man know where to sell girls' things, and killed North Sichuan Road, Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, Huaihai Road, plus a City God Temple.

In the end, Yan Ximu came out and played with the girl for two days, and finally calmed the girl's desire to shop, but after playing too much, she had to retract her heart, and was pulled back to the training ground by Yuri, and the next days of suffering will come.

"I didn't expect you to participate in doubles as well." Fan Ju has always been concerned about Sharapova's singles results, but he didn't realize that Sharapova was walking the same route as him, playing singles and playing the idea of scoring in doubles.

However, Sharapova's score can be much earlier than Fan Ju, starting from the Australian Open at the beginning of the year, to the previous US Open, Sharapova will always find temporary combinations to compete, and now she has reached around 300 in the WTA rankings.

Sharapova was very angry about Fan Ju's question, and she didn't care about her situation at all, but the girl was angry and coaxed, took her to eat something delicious, and went to the night market at night, and it disappeared.

After Fan Ju returned to China, he saw a lot of domestic tennis players, and basically these players came to Fan Ju to visit him after they arrived in Shanghai.

However, most of the time there is no follow-up after a kind word such as pointing and exchanging, but there are exceptions.

"It's all female babies~!" Fan Ju complained with a Sichuan accent, and the two female players not only dared to express their confidence, but also invited Fan Ju to let them understand the international level of technology.

At that time, Sharapova was also on the side, and Fan Ju directly dragged the girl to make a cushion, after all, if two men were two women, it was really unfair.

Fan Ju thought that Sharapova would be a bit of a bully, but when Fan Ju broke through his glasses at the beginning of the practice match, these two girls, who were only one or two years older than him, actually suppressed the offensive of Fan Ju and Sharapova in an instant!

He admitted that he did not do his best, and he did not use double speed to restrain his strength, but in just a set of practice matches, Fan Ju even heard a roar representing Sharapova's full strength, this girl actually had to fight with all her strength, which made Fan Ju feel the difference between the two.

"Zheng Jie, Yan Zi?" After learning the names of the two, Fan Ju felt familiar, not like Yao Ming, Federer, and Nadal, but it also made him feel some feelings related to past memories.

The combination of Fan Ju and Sharapova still won, compared to Zeng Shaodi, Fan Ju and Sharapova's cooperation is more harmonious, the two sides are too clear about the characteristics of their respective playing styles, Fan Ju guards the net, Sharapova attacks the bottom line, and after a few rounds, the momentum of the two is suppressed.

"By the way, do you know a person named Li Na?" Fan Ju subconsciously thought of a name, as if it was related to the two of them.

Zheng Jie and Yan Zi glanced at each other, then at the coach who was chatting with Lao Li not far away, nodded, and deliberately lowered their voices.

"You're talking about Li Na from Hubei, right? She retired on her own in '02, and when it comes to technique, she's much better than us, but the coach won't let us mention her. The two seemed to have something unspeakable, and they didn't talk again after talking for half a sentence.

Retired? There is this, but it is retired? How is it different from what you know? Although some things have not appeared, they have long been in Fan Ju's memory, but they have already retired? What's going on here? (To be continued......)
