Chapter 335: Winning Roddick

"It's nice to win, clean two sets, you're getting better and stronger now." Raschet was relieved, watching Fan Ju's progress as if he were making progress himself.

Being Fan Ju's coach, even if he is not the head coach, but he can give Raschet a great sense of achievement, Fan Ju's progress can be described as visible to the naked eye, unlike other players who need half a year or even a year of accumulation every time they are promoted, in Fan Ju's hands, this may only be a few months, or even a game!

"It's okay, Srichapan's form is a little poor, and his will to fight is even weaker after losing a set." Fan Ju was somewhat disappointed, he expected his opponent to play his best game, but after that, there were only a few and less than ten appearances.

There is a strong serve, and a strong forehand can also be seen, but if you want to see them together, it is very difficult, not that Fan Ju's extension does not give the opponent a chance, but in the face of the opportunity, Sricapan has always chosen to be conservative and lowered the rhythm of the game.

"They're also getting used to unfamiliar rhythms, and your opponents want to find a place to attack on you." Fan Ju talked to Raschet a few times about what he felt was targeted, and Raschet also explained this to Fan Ju.

At present, there are only two ways to deal with Fan Ju, one is to be able to maintain a rate with Fan Ju, or to successfully suppress Fan Ju in a certain technology, so that Fan Ju cannot speed up.

The other is what many players who are not as strong as Fan Ju on the surface are trying, and they are changing the pace and adopting more targeted play. to inhibit Fan Ju's play, so that he can't hit the ball he wants.

The first kind of fight is strength, to put it bluntly. You are stronger than Fan Ju, and your state is better than Fan Ju, so you have nothing to say if you win against Fan Ju, Safin is strong, in Fan Ju's opinion, it may not be impossible to defeat, but the other party is in good shape, and Fan Ju can't help it.

The second is more tactical. However, it is very difficult to execute, after all, not every player can control their own pace and rhythm. Like Srichapan, who is a high-speed ball player, he is like a thief meeting a police officer when he encounters Fan Ju, shrinking back and finally returning empty-handed.

This model is also doomed. Before Fan Ju's style of play was cracked. He's a pseudo-top player with the potential to be ranked among the best in the world.

As for why he said that he was false, and he couldn't directly say that he was top-notch, this was just Fan Ju's own feelings, after all, he only relied on the technology of speeding up the Internet to be called the top, but what else? Almost all of them hovered outside the top.

"Although it is not weak, and even exceeds most of the TOP50 players, it is still a little bit short." Whoever knows about technology is a thing, and it's obviously a pair shot. Your ball is getting shallower and shallower, but your opponent is getting stronger. That's the proof of that.

If physical strength and strength can also be counted as skills, then Fan Ju may also be able to have a few more strengths ahead of his opponents, but unfortunately, these are just the foundation of the body, just the auxiliary of technology, otherwise if you find a bodybuilding coach who can play tennis, can you say that he is a player with top skills? Apparently impossible.

Fan Ju can hit faster and heavier balls, but this is obviously beyond his control, and if he doesn't want to watch the ball and travel to the stands once a lot, controlling it becomes a must.

This sounds like it's the opposite of his training strength, why should he increase it when it's already too much?

Don't forget that if you don't have enough power, how you can improve the bottom line of the control zhì is like a bucket without a plank, no matter how you fill the water, it will leak back to the position of the shortest plank.

Let yourself have no shortcomings, and even make all the planks higher than others, Fan Ju can narrow the distance caused by time, so far, this approach is still very successful, Fan Ju's strength has been from ordinary professional masters, into the ranks of the second-top.

It's not perfect, but it's enough, with the current ability, it's enough to establish itself in the tennis world, and as long as there is time to have an opponent, the time to go further is just around the corner.

Winning is naturally gratifying, the opponent in the next round will also be decided immediately, the game is already underway, and Fan Ju is watching the live broadcast of the game, and to his surprise, God seems to want him to go further, Agassi, the opponent he is worried about, is actually behind!

In the other 16th match in the second half of the tournament, Agassi took on Argentina's Caleri, a standard clay-clay player who played a bit surprisingly at the Masters, not only beating his opponent in straight sets in the first three rounds, but now even Agassi is about to lose to him.

6:2 in the first set, Agassi was not beaten without a fight, and Caleri did not play very well, at least in the opponent's first serve rate of less than 40%, there is really no outstanding side.

The score of the second set has reached a 6:6 draw, and it looks like it is about to go in and tie seven games, and if you want to talk about the wonderful Cheng Dù of the break, this game will definitely not lose to any game.

"With 10 break points on one side, we kept eight, and on the other side we kept 10 from 14 break points...... It's a 'high-level' game. Fan Ju complained, he didn't need to look at him to know that Agassi was not in shape, and the three-week schedule had already made the veteran feel to the limit.

Caleri eventually won the match in the tie-break, while Agassi only won two points and won no doubt, three matches in four rounds, three straight sets in two sets, and the table was no worse than Fan Ju.

"Congratulations, it looks like you're going to be able to reach the semifinals again." The people next to him congratulated, obviously they had already considered the schedule of Fan Ju, if the match between Roddick and Moya was not unexpected, then the match between Fan Ju and Roddick would be the key to the championship of this game!

Although there are two players in the work area, Fernando Gonzalez and Gilmoreccoria are present, but no matter how strong Gonzalez's forehand is or how high Coria is, he can't change the fact that they are essentially clay players.

Without Federer, the first half of the tournament was an unexpected situation where two clay masters competed for a place in the final, which made the crucial semi-final in the second half of the tournament even more important than the final.

For two days, Fan Ju had been preparing for this, even if Sharapova was eliminated by Serena Williams, he did not do much to consol, his mind was now fully focused on the match, and when he swept Caleri 2-0 again, Roddick eliminated No. 5 seed Carlos Moya, the match slowly approached the two.

In a simple pre-match press conference, Fan Ju was sitting in the center in his game costume, and no amount of flash could distract him from this time.

Unlike Fan Ju, who was kind on the sidelines at that time, today's opponent is what he has to really do his best to face, Roddick, the American cannon who still occupies the second place in the world, is attacking Fan Ju again.

"Mr. Fan Ju, are you confident that you can return Roddick's serve, and according to the latest record, the fastest serve has been updated again, what do you think?" There was no sarcasm in the question asked, as Roddick's world-leading serve did deserve the question.

In the first round of the Davis Cup '04, Roddick once again set a record for the fastest serve of 149 miles, or 239.7 kilometers, at the London Open last year, adding another 1 mile to the fastest tennis serve that a human can play.

150 miles and 241.4 kilometers per hour shows Roddick's strong serving ability, and Roddick even said that he can actually play a faster serve in practice, and this record will be broken by himself again in the near future!

Even Fan Ju wondered how this brother's shoulders looked, and he fought hard to score 220 and 230 at most, but this was just practice, and the goal was even a bit lucky.

You have to practice the real serve to a steady point before you can use it in the game, and too fast ball speed will greatly reduce the efficiency of a serve, which is a bit more than worth the loss in Fan Ju's opinion.

On a serve of more than 180 kilometers, you can play a beautiful ace, angle, landing point, and speed, which is enough to make many players unable to react.

Push the speed of the first serve of the match to more than 200 kilometers, and maintain a steady first-serve rate of 60%, this side can become a service master, and have a big enough advantage when serving during the match.

Fan Ju's envy of those serve players at the beginning came from the key ability to stabilize the situation and solve the game with the serve at the key of the game.

Unfortunately, the serve itself is also closely related to form and performance, just like those few lost matches, Fan Ju's serve obviously did not play to the advantages he should have.

Instead, he gave his opponent too many opportunities to serve, and tactically successfully suppressed him at the bottom line of non-dominance, and lost the opportunity to win the game.

"Fast serve is a sign of progress in tennis technology, and only by moving forward will the sport be loved by more and more viewers, and I am sure that Mr. Roddick will agree with me and wish him to continue to push this serve faster and make people more involved in tennis." Fan Ju's words are reasonable and well-founded, and there is no intention of provoking trouble.

This is a bit disappointing for reporters, obviously Fan Ju has recently started to keep a low profile, but they think that Fan Ju "abandons evil and follows good", and every time after a low profile, Fan Ju will always cause bigger news, so that they will also be excited last time.

The press conference was over, Fan Ju left the venue first, he still had to warm up for the game that would start in an hour, the desire to win was getting stronger and stronger, and his body was already in a state of unbearable excitement to compete with Roddick! (To be continued......)
