Chapter 414: The Score Gap
"It's fantastic, we didn't get out of the way!" Rembrandt wasn't just really excited, he was also excited to encourage Fan Ju, and in short, losing in the semi-finals didn't affect his mood in the slightest.
"What's so happy, if you lose, you lose......" Fan Ju has been receiving simple restorative massage therapy for the past few days, even though he knows that it has little to do with muscles, but it can relieve fatigue, and it is worth his energy.
Rembrandt shook his head, of course he knew that Fan Ju was not satisfied with the loss, but looking at the tennis world, it is rare for a player with such a high winning rate as Fan Ju to have.
Since entering the profession, Fan Ju has been almost a winning general, and even before winning his first tour title, Fan Ju's winning rate has remained very high.
It can be said that at that time, a large part of the year-end ranking of Fan Ju was calculated from his winning rate, but Fan Ju's growth was too fast, and he won the Masters in one fell swoop, which made him out of the normal calculation category and became a special shave.
But in the eyes of a professional agent like Rembrandt, losing is too normal, not to mention ordinary upsets, there are very few players who can always win in major tournaments.
Fan Ju is very special, and it is precisely because of this special Rembrandt that he does not hesitate to push some players with a high share ratio in his hands, and concentrates on following Fan Ju's side, even if Fan Ju leaves IMG one day in the future, he will not refuse to continue to serve as his agent.
"No, at least we haven't been pulled apart by our opponents, not to mention Federer has announced a break this week, you know it's a Swiss game, obviously your opponent has reached the limit." Rembrandt was delighted. Especially after hearing the news, he counted the points from the beginning. I feel that there is hope for Fan Ju's year-end first.
Basel Indoor Retirement? Fan Ju had really just heard the news, and he originally thought that Federer would fight him to the death. But at this time, he chose to retreat.
At this time, Fan Ju has a certain advantage in the comparison of the strength of the two sides, as long as he enters the year-end game, the difference between his points and his opponent is less than 200 points, as long as he breaks through the group stage and enters the final, he has at least 200 points in the account.
His opponent, Federer, had to win the championship to settle for a tie in terms of income and expenses.
If there was no fan, Federer, who should have been invincible today, could have relaxed and adjusted. Until the year-end finals, we met the challenge in the best condition.
But Fan Ju forced him to participate in the competition, consume his body, and find a way to open up the points, but at the same time, he had to worry that Fan Ju would play well in the year-end finals.
Always keep the year-end first in suspense and become an unresolved problem.
If you choose the Basel Indoor Championships, you don't want to participate, but who would have thought that the competition at the end of the year would be so fierce, the schedule has been set at the beginning of the year, and the cancellation of the competition will be accompanied by a large amount of liquidated damages, and money is not a problem. But when it comes to business credit.
The game was agreed by Fan Ju, and Fan Ju will stick to it, especially when the news of Federer's confirmed retirement came out, after the list of the match was confirmed. Fan Ju found that his odds of winning were very good, and he could use it to make up for the loss of the previous game.
The Basel Indoor Championship is a carpet event, just like the Paris Masters that followed. It is the venue that Fan Ju is best at, even in a state of fatigue. Relying on double speed and surfing the Internet, Fan Ju has the confidence to win. Aside from Federer, the biggest obstacle is only the likes of Henman and Nalbandian.
So Fan Ju thinks that he has a good chance of winning, and for the sake of these 250 points, it is worth fighting.
Maybe it's a bit risky, but it's worth a try, Fan Ju thought about it, in fact, there is not much need, since the original announcement of the competition for the ball king, Fan Ju has nothing to consider, if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent, and you must not let go of a little opportunity.
On October 25th, the Basel Indoor Carpet Race kicked off in northern Europe, when it was already very cold in Switzerland and it was no longer suitable for outdoor competition.
Fan Ju participated as the No. 1 seed, which is considered to save the Basel Indoor Championships once, and the organizing committee of the tournament had to come to greet them in person, if there is no Federer and Fan Ju is missing, I am afraid that the Basel Indoor Championships will be difficult to find sponsors for next year.
Because of Federer, Basel would have paid a lot of money to invite Fan Ju to participate, of course, the original Fan Ju could not be compared to the present, but as the world's number one carpet player, the organizing committee at that time judged that the battle with Federer would be very exciting.
However, the plan was not as good as the change, Federer withdrew, Basel's brilliance was diminished by half, and the huge investment was wasted, which was not an acceptable result for investors and advertisers.
Facts have proved that Fan Ju's judgment is very correct, even if the total prize money is as high as 1 million and the intensity of the tour is 250 points, it is far from the level of the Masters.
The preparation of the contestants is not low, but most of them have no experience in carpet matches, and it is a fool's dream to win the game on hard courts.
However, this qiē did not go well, and the strong players appeared again in the next few rounds, and Fan Ju was able to win but played very hard, which is not good news, and at the same time made Fan Ju realize a fact that he had to face.
"I need a break! A long break! This is the first time that Fan Ju has made his own request, and more than two months of continuous events have squeezed his energy out.
Even double speed began to be difficult to use, and if it went on like this, I am afraid that without Federer's hands, Fan Ju would have to raise his hand and surrender before playing the final of the last Masters.
"Yes, I agree to Fan Ju's request, he is now in urgent need of rest, muscles, ligaments, mental state, and the original healthy body is getting closer to injury." Morrill, who was the last to speak, had been monitoring Fan Ju's physical condition and had even made the request a month earlier.
But at that time, even Fan Ju didn't agree, but now the body told him that he had to do it.
"However, the Paris ......" Rembrandt didn't want to squeeze Fan Ju, but the Paris Masters, that was the first Masters that Fan Ju won the championship.
"I can participate, but I will be eliminated in the first game, don't arrange any interviews during the period, all of them will be pushed off, and I will go to Nickelodeon as soon as the game is over, I need to completely cultivate and adjust." Fan Ju can choose to return home, but the time difference in the Pacific Ocean is too great, and it is better to rest in Florida for the Masters Cup in Houston.
What Fan Ju had already decided was difficult to change, and Rembrandt could only report the news to IMG headquarters and prepare for the worst.
Perhaps the only thing they need to worry about is that if Fan Ju retires and Federer wins the championship in Paris, I am afraid that when the time comes, Fan Ju will win the year-end finals, and he will lose his best chance to win the year-end first place this year.
Fan Ju's tournament in Basel is not over yet, and he still faces a five-set final, and it will not be a difficult opponent against the likes of Henmanar Bandian.
Although the Czech Novak is good at playing fast and is also very good at dealing with players who serve and net, Henman was eliminated by him in the third round, but Fan Ju is different from Henman in that his style of play is more varied, making his opponent more elusive.
It's tough to play with little to no multiplier help, but Fan Ju has become more and more accustomed to this rhythm after his technical progress, relying on non-important matches to train his abilities in a normal state in order to achieve greater improvement in his technique.
And now this keeps him from suddenly collapsing when he has no double speed, and still has a strong combat ability.
The title of the strongest in the Fan Ju Rapid Stadium also put a lot of pressure on Novak, carpet, grass, and after the Paris Masters, Fan Ju did not lose a game on the Fast Course.
If there is really a player in the world who can claim to be the number one on the fast course, it is definitely a model, and under strong pressure, players often only have two changes, become stronger under pressure, or be overwhelmed by pressure.
Novak's heart is not fragile, but he can't withstand such a lot of pressure, and the first two sets were almost led by Fan Ju's nose, and even Fan Ju himself was relieved.
Realizing that Fan Ju's offense and defense were not too strong, Novak actually found some upper hand in the third set, and Fan Ju also understood that it was his opponent's counterattack, and he began to slow down the tempo.
This is obvious, as if telling the opponent that I am accumulating body lì and defeating you in the next set, rather than giving the opponent the impression that the opponent is not strong and that he can win.
Mental tactics did work well when the body was not dominant, and in the fourth set, Novak switched to aggressive defense at the start, which played into Fan's favor.
Fan Ju's net tactics are to attack strong and defend weak, the opponent does not counterattack, Fan Ju will continue to attack, and the offensive pressure is great, Novak naturally has no ability to counterattack.
When the score fell above 6:4 in the fourth set, Fan Ju finally achieved his goal and won another tournament.
This is also the ninth men's singles title won by Fan Ju this year, plus an Olympic title, and the ATP results are tied with his opponent Federer, and the two are tied in four Grand Slams.
"6400 points, this score is not bad, but it is still not safe!" Fan Ju really didn't want to give up like this, but he knew better that if he didn't give up the Paris Masters, then once he was injured, his year-end Masters Cup would also be compensated.
He can't take this risk, and he also believes that Federer will not do it, Fan Ju has a hole to fill, Federer is similar, Madrid, Basel, Paris these three competitions together, Federer 03 can also score 375 points.
Giving up Basel also means that even if Paris wins, Federer will only have 125 points more, plus the difference between the two is up to 200 points. (To be continued......)
