Chapter 233: Fan Ju Wants to Fight Roddick?
"It's a shame, I almost won!" On the other end of the phone, Yan Ximu said regretfully, she always felt pity for every failure of Fan Ju, Fan Ju from not being able to play tennis to becoming a duel with the world's top masters, she was clear about the efforts and sweat she had made.
Fan Ju smiled, lost, he always lost, but today he was unexpectedly happy, not like some players have lost the habit, but Fan Ju's last rampage, almost let his opponent stumble, this is what makes him feel the most happy.
"Next time I look for a chance to win it back, it's still a long time, wait another 10 days, or I won't be able to get to New York in less than 10 days, and then you, the "native", will accompany me for a good walk! Fan Ju was joking, and he didn't want to go shopping.
New York has no natural scenery except for Central Park, and by the way, there are 911 ruins, in fact, Fan Ju felt that it would be more meaningful to hit the Statue of Liberty at that time.
Hanging up the phone, Fan Ju also returned to more rational thinking, why and how he lost the game, he had already seen a clue in the game, but when he looked back and reflected on the process of the game, Fan Ju found that in fact, the opponent had already figured out his own details.
As for why he didn't take out his hole cards at the beginning, he may be worried about his sudden and continuous outbreak of double speed, and cautiously tested himself from the beginning, and it was not until the second set that he took out his full strength and knocked himself to the ground in one go.
In the second set, Fan Ju, who did not follow the rules, disrupted Nalbandian's set-up, and Fan Ju went from a score of 5:1. Break, hold, break. Under the dumbfounded opponent, he was stunned to narrow the score gap to 5:4.
At that time, Nalbandian was shocked to realize that he was in a backward state, and the Nalbandian who came back to his senses was terrible, and Fan Ju really saw the true strength of this player's backhand.
In Fan Ju's service game, the backhand is almost always aimed at the weakness of the Fan Ju, and it goes across the court with precision. Compared to the previous precise calculations, this style of play is wilder and more like the style of Latin American players.
was broken. The score was locked at 6:4, not that Fan Ju didn't want to save, but the double speed was exhausted, and the double speed could only barely maintain the next set of serves.
When the score is locked in the second set. Although the overall market is only a 1:1 draw. However, Fan Ju knew that he had lost, even if the opponent was still like a frightened bird, he played extremely cautiously at the beginning of the third set, but after a few trials, Fan Ju's details were exposed.
Finding that Fan Ju was no longer able to resist, Nalbandian of course would not keep his hand any longer, and Fan Ju's only weapons were only forehand and serve.
If these two can be strengthened to the next level to reach the world-class and top-level level, Fan Ju may be able to become another Roddick Jr. who relies on serve and forehand to beat opponents.
It's a pity that Fan Ju's serve is not world-class. Not even the top of the field, and the forehand is not good. So the steadiness of his serve did help him win a few of his own service games, but Nalbandian's overall advantage was unshakable.
6:3 Fan Ju lost the last set, indeed, in the eyes of many people, this is a counterattack by Nalbandian, but Fan Ju knows that this counterattack is not accidental, if he can't continue to improve, the distance between him and his opponent will only get farther and farther.
"But his psychological endurance is really fragile, just his sudden change disrupted the rhythm, maybe he can take advantage of it when he encounters it in the future." Fan Ju is a pragmatist, although he only knows a little about the situation of tennis players, but as long as he has played a match, the characteristics and impressions of his opponents will be deeply imprinted in his memory and become a reference for him in the future.
This is the case in tennis, where the outcome of a match is the result of a match, there are no appeals and no rematches, and the only way to get back on the pitch is to come back next year.
"Fan Jubiao xiàn is good!" When Fan Ju arrived in Cincingti, Rembrandt was already waiting at the airport, and he would continue to accompany Fan Ju until the end of the US Open.
"It's good, but it's a little early to lose." Fan Ju patted Rembrandt's thick back and said with a smile.
The ATP points are 666 points, which is very auspicious in Fan Ju's view, and the tournament prize money has also increased by 27,000 US dollars, and the total prize money of more than 190,000 yuan in a single year still has a lot of room for improvement.
75 points into the account, so that Fan Ju's ranking further, ATP 58, is only one step away from the TOP50, the earliest prediction of the media to enter the TOP50, now this is about to come true, and the next six games, how many points will be credited? This is the key to determining the year-end rankings.
The ATP rankings determine a lot, and the qualification for the Masters and Grand Slams is not enough, and if the ranking is not enough, in addition to getting a wild card, you can only go to the brutal knockout tournament.
Sharapova is a strong player, but she will inevitably suffer more when she participates in the main draw after the knockout round, not only is she more likely to encounter seeded players, but once she advances to the third round, her body often reaches the limit of her memory.
Delaying the schedule also costs a lot of energy, so unless there is really such an outstanding strength as Sharapova, most players still choose to participate in the competition that matches their ranking to earn points.
The Cincingtina Southwest Consortium Masters, which is only a few hundred kilometers away from Montreal, where Fan Ju played before, can quickly reach another place by any means of transportation.
It's also one of the few Masters tournaments that are so close to each other, with two Masters events held in a week apart, as if it were a tradition for the American people, and the Indiana Willis Masters and Miami Masters at the beginning of the year were also scheduled on the same schedule, which made the top professional players tense their nerves and win the most shining championship trophy.
The Montreal Rogers Cup, the Cincinnatina Southwest Consortium Masters and the US Open, these three tournaments, make up the US Open series, and are also the most important tennis tournaments in North America.
According to Rembrandt, if you want to perform well in these three competitions, it means that you have made the American people remember you, and it also means that your value will also increase.
Fan Ju doesn't think about anything other than the competition, but he still keeps an eye on the results of his last failed Masters.
"Federer lost, Nalbandian also lost, is this combination of serve and forehand going to be invincible all over the world? So what do I do? Fan Ju looked at the final result and could only be speechless.
In the semifinals, Nalbandian, who defeated Fan Ju in the work division, was really brave, first defeated Fan Ju's former defeated Lopez, and then eliminated the eighth seed Reina Schutler, who had eliminated Agassi in the previous round, and reached the final of the Masters with a wonderful table, and his opponent was Federer, who was supposed to be a fluttering style of play.
But there is a way of playing in this world called unreasonableness, and there is a kind of serve, which he calls cannon!
Simple tactics are nothing else, a powerful serve and a violent forehand, a world-class serve and a top-level forehand, Federer entangled in three sets, and finally failed to withstand the attack of this artillery.
Federer's state is not good, although he and Roddick also hit 9 aces, but there are as many as 10 double faults, Fan Ju feels that Federer lost this game on the serve, there is no too complicated reason, just lost on the serve.
If Federer's loss is normal, after all, he was entangled in three sets, but Nalbandian disappointed Fan Ju greatly.
Roddick's style of play is simple, and it seems that it is a good layout for such an opponent, but on the contrary, Nalbandian's tactics are more suitable for a smart person like Fan Ju.
Once Fan Ju became brainless, he had no way to deal with it.
It was almost a one-sided final, with Nalbandian only breaking once, and was swept out of the final 6:1:6:3.
Fan Ju watched the match, Nalbandian wanted to lay it out, but Roddick didn't pay attention to Nalbandian's idea at all, and then the first set of Nalbandian was completely messed up, a logical and rational player, when it becomes chaotic, you will find that he seems to become unable to play.
In a match that lasted only an hour, the crowd gave Roddick a round of applause, and Nalbandian left the field as a declining supporting actor.
"I don't care if they win or lose, but the question is which god have I offended? Why does this sign keep making me feel like someone is deliberately working against me? Fan Ju looked at the signing table with a headache, the third round, and the third round!
Nalbandian and Federer? These two are all staying in the off-duty area, and depending on the situation, I am afraid that they will collide in the second round, and Fan Ju is very interested to see what kind of game these two can play.
But Fan Ju's headache is his opponent in the third round, yes, it is Andy Roddick, the cannon Roddick with the serve and forehand.
"Fan Ju don't worry, after all, he may not be able to meet him." Raschet tried to comfort Fan Ju, but it sounded even more unreliable.
After all, compared to a No. 7 seed who has just won the Masters, Fan Ju, an unseeded player, is more likely to not make it to the third round.
Indeed, Fan Ju will face a strong player in the second round, and of course this player is also an acquaintance of Fan Ju, who was the Dutchman Schalken when he first showed his clay serve at the net a few months ago.
Schalken is a hard-court player and the No.12 seed in the tournament, and he wasn't wronged by his last loss to Fan Ju on clay, but on hard courts, he certainly wouldn't let Fan Ju knock him out again.
As for the feud between Fan Ju and Roddick, it originated from the Queen's Cup not long ago, when Fan Ju eliminated many of Roddick's friends along the way, so much so that the media began to pay attention to Fan Ju's unparalleled ability to receive serves.
If they meet at this Masters, they will inevitably be hyped by the media again, but Fan Ju is more worried about how he should deal with the threat posed to him by Roddick's serve and forehand. (To be continued......)
