Grand Slams, for players, especially high-ranked players, are definitely not as simple as playing a match and showing their faces.

The Hamburg Open ended on May 16, and before the 24th of the French Open, Fan Ju was not idle at all.

"Morning magazine interview, TV interview, there is a charity event to participate in in the afternoon, tomorrow at 10 o'clock in the morning, the official event of the competition ......" Perry listed Fan Ju's next schedule one by one, and he was a little busy and couldn't find the feeling of being in the north.

As the world's fifth-ranked player, it's normal for Fan Ju to be busy, and if it weren't for a lot of extra publicity, Fan Ju probably wouldn't have had time to stop and practice.

And there are still 3 full days before the start of the French Open, which means that this busy period will last for a long time before it ends.

Sharapova often harasses Fan Ju, the bigger the girl, the more she can feel the open style of Western women, hooking up with Fan holding her arm, coquettish, and her chest is still close to Fan Ju from time to time, fortunately, no one sees it, I'm afraid the headlines the next day will be the news of Fan Ju's empathy and don't fall in love with a beautiful Russian girl.

"It's just too small......"

"What did you say?" Sharapova didn't hear what Fan Ju was saying clearly for a while, just now she was talking about seeing a cute dress on the street, if she retired, she would definitely open a clothing store or something, immersed in her beautiful dreams, and didn't care if Fan Ju could listen to it or not.

"Oh...... It's nothing, I mean you're too small, why is it enough to open a store, we have to look to the future and open our minds. Wouldn't it be bigger to just open a design company and then make your own brand? Fan Ju wiped his sweat and said casually. He won't tell Sù what is small.

Fan Ju talked nonsense casually, but Sharapova listened to it so brightly that she even thought about the scene when she wore a tennis uniform designed by her own brand in the future.

After being excited, holding Fan Ju's cheeks is a mouthful, and regardless of whether the parties are willing or not, he jumped out of the room to design his future dreams.

Is it really open? Fan Ju was stunned. Don't look at the girl's ideas about design, but she has been practicing tennis since she was a child, not to mention that the design has not even drawn a sketch, right?

But think about it. Fan Ju was relieved again, he couldn't paint or ask someone to paint, with Sharapova's current momentum of being ranked more than 20 in the world, he could rush into more than a dozen by the end of the year. Not to mention that IMG is packaging Sharapova as an international sports star. Just wait for an amazing result and a blockbuster!

Especially Sharapova is a good-looking female player, and there will definitely be clothing brands to endorse her, make a Sharapova brand alone, and design the clothes Sharapova wants, isn't it a convenient thing.

Putting down what he had just done, Fan Ju threw himself into the pre-competition activities again, and it was not until the competition list came out that Fan Ju could have some time to rest and breathe. Prepare for the competition.

On clay, Fan Ju gradually found his sense of play, and it was not so much that he did not improve on clay. It's better to lack the experience of playing against high-level players on clay.

In the past, Fan Ju participated in clay competitions, either the grade was too low, or the technique was not mature, but judging from the previous games, he changed his style of play and let himself have his own clay offensive tactics step by step.

"There is a net in the attack, the bottom line rotates, the footsteps are diligent, and the force is steady." Fan Ju summed up these experiences and changed his tactics and playing style.

Compared with the baseline attack, Fan Ju's advantage is naturally in front of the net, so it is not wise to give up the net, but it is more risky to be tough on the net when it is not an advantage, on clay.

Therefore, attacking with a steady baseline and matching with the net is the most suitable offensive mode for Fan Ju.

Only if the topspin ball is strong enough can it destroy the ball sense of those clay players, but at the same time, you should also pay attention to your footsteps, and you would rather run more than fix it, otherwise the line change on the clay can be more than the hard court, and the angle is also larger.

Finally, there is the last problem that Fan Ju summed up, that is, the clay shot, the kind of sudden force of the shot, in fact, can not cause trouble to the opponent, when holding the ball, the stability of the power, compared to the sudden attack.

And with these points, Fan Ju gradually found his own clay play, which is a complete tactical system that others can't learn, and at the same time, as long as some techniques are improved again, the strength can be taken to a higher level.

In traditional clay matches, it is more advantageous to play defense than to attack, but this is not suitable for Fan Ju's style of play, Fan Ju's tactical blood is full of offensive factors, and simple defense will only make his offensive counterattack rhythm out of balance, and the gains outweigh the losses.

The competition table has finally been released after a long wait, and for players like Fan Ju, there is no need to worry too much about the so-called schedule.

After all, the high-ranked players are all seeded players, and even if there is an upset bump among the low-ranked players, you have to consider yourself unlucky, if you are in good shape, no matter how unfair you are, you can win the championship, and when you are not in good shape, it is normal to go out and fall.

"Is there really no Agassi?" Among the highest-ranked players on the tournament list, Agassi's name was missing.

The tennis world is almost accustomed to the rhythm of this old-timer, and then it explodes, and the big tournaments may not be all participated, but they can still stay in the top 10 positions, and at the age of 34, occupy a place among the top players.

Changing to a young player like Fan Ju, I'm afraid that no one will dare to do this except for Federer, who is high in points, every game is the key to accumulating points, and if one is not good, even the ranking will be caught up by the opponent behind him.

Judging from the current points ranking, Fan Ju's fifth place is still sitting very steadily, and Agassi behind him is almost 500 points behind, and then there is a gap of more than 900 points.

However, Fan Ju's goal is the highest peak, and the opponents in front of him are the objects that he surpasses, even if he can just be one step closer to that position, they are all goals worthy of Fan Ju's hard work on the field.

"Roland Gaslo, I'm here again!" Looking at the spectacular and artistic arena, this is the only Grand Slam tournament that Fan Ju has participated in twice.

It was here that his career could have started and now that he's back here, he's going to have to repay the hard work of the year with even better results.

Even in the first round of the competition, Fan Ju can still see a large number of spectators holding the devil's flag, entering the arena, if the national flag represents the country is too one-sided, but the demon flag represents Fan Ju himself.

The fifth seed Fan Ju is firmly in the bottom half of the bracket, which is more dominant than the top half of the bracket with Federer, Ferrero and Carlos Moya, but don't forget that there is also a difficult opponent in the bottom half, Coria, who has blocked himself from the finals at the Hamburg Masters, which is Fan's biggest enemy.

The previous three Masters titles were won by Coria, Moya and Federer, all of whom were standard clay-clay players.

On the clay court, the strength of both will be a level higher than the hard court, Fan Ju's last semi-final with Coria, with an immature style of play, after all, still failed to grab the ticket to the final, it can be seen that the opponent's strong defense is enough to withstand the pressure caused by Fan Ju's attack.

In the first three rounds, Fan Ju's opponent could not be said to be strong, which also gave Fan Ju the opportunity to continue to strengthen his playing style, add more offense, or gradually turn to the bottom line rotation, which still requires Fan Ju to learn by himself and find the best ratio.

In the first round, the Dutch player became the subject of Fan Ju's pressure test on the spinning ball, of course, it was not that Fan Ju did not play seriously, on the contrary, he played very carefully in this match.

Constantly attacking with a steady topspin on the baseline, pressing the opponent's middle baseline, and not too strong pressure on both sides, Fan Ju is very clear that his change of direction will definitely cause the instability of the return ball.

However, his topspin attack has enough intensity to make his opponent feel suppressed.

"It is important to reduce redundant attacks, which can not only save the body, but also make the attack more efficient and reduce the appearance of mistakes, especially on clay, and only stable dìng can make the opponent generate pressure and make mistakes." At the end of the first round, Fan Ju and the team once again analyzed the changes in their playing style and made a final summary.

"It's great that you can make a proactive change, even I didn't expect that your understanding of red clay would improve so quickly." Raschet was pleased that Fan Ju's tactical change was also partly due to him.

The game is always full of changes, and when the three rounds passed, the first half of the division, which was originally regarded as a high-risk area by Fan Ju, unexpectedly changed for him.

Ferrero was eliminated, and only in the second round, and the king fell off the throne completely, and none of the four clay tournaments played well.

He's repeating Hewitt's journey back then, with the difference that Hewitt managed to dominate tennis for another year, while Ferrero didn't leave a mark other than last year's Grand Slam at the French Open.

As if to set off the rise of Federer and Roddick, and to make way for the newcomer, Ferrero may still be able to play at the top level one day, but now he is no longer a threat.

Of course, if Ferrero was eliminated, it can only be said that it is a pity, then Federer, who defeated Coria in the last leg and won the Hamburg Masters, was also eliminated, and it can only be said that Federer's advantage on clay is not as obvious as in other arenas. (To be continued......)
