Chapter Ninety-One: (Passionate) Sparks
"Good afternoon, Rafael Nadal, my name is Fan Ju, it's a pleasure to meet you." There are actually a lot of Spanish examples, mainly Wayne, a good friend born in Florida, who speaks Spanish better than English.
Fan Ju's accent has always been ridiculed by Wayne, saying that there is no feeling of American Spanish, Fan Ju really doesn't want to expose this little friend's naïve idea of "the best in America", your Spanish is from Mexico, and the American accent is equivalent to the countryside for Spaniards.
Fan Ju recognized this sturdy young man when he first arrived at the café, not only because he had read a lot of information about this Spanish young genius in the past few days, but also because his face was very distinctive among Europeans in Fan Ju's eyes.
Thick eyebrows, big nose, very obvious markings, not too big eyes, often snatched the point by his eyebrows, if in China such a look will feel like a simple person, but not very handsome, but in Europe, this is a standard handsome look.
After the four of them sat down at two tables, Raschet called a waiter for his friend, Fan Ju did not choose to order a cup of coffee with the crowd, but chose to ask for a cup of freshly squeezed orange juice, as for Raschet Fan Ju, who was busy catching up with friends, he didn't care what he wanted, but he was full of curiosity about Rafael Nadal who was "thinking about it" in front of him.
Fan Ju couldn't be sure before they met, but after seeing Nadal in person, Fan Ju was sure that this guy must have left a lot of impressions before he was reborn, and this impression will only emerge in this life when he sees those stars and celebrities, obviously this young man will definitely be a very famous figure in professional tennis in the future.
And he will only have a similar feeling when he sees Roger Federer, who has risen to the top 4 in the world, Sampras and Agassi are only familiar, with Roger Federer's age and current ranking, as long as there is no big change, the world number one may not be far away from him.
One Tour Championship in O1, four Tour Championships in O2, and this year is only 2 months later, Roger Federer has won two tournaments at the Dubai US Open and the Marseille Open.
Nadal was born on June 3, 86, almost a year younger than Fan Ju's birthday, which means that the current Nadal is only 16 years and 9 months, but he began to participate in professional-level competitions at the age of 15 as early as one year ago, to train his mental and technical skills.
The two sat together, Fan Ju didn't feel nervous because of the faces that he might have been familiar with in his previous life, he smiled on his face, and casually said hello to the little brother who was slightly green in front of him, but the muscles in his body were already very strong.
Rafael Nadal gave Fan Ju a very shy smile back, he was not used to talking to unfamiliar people, although meeting a Spanish speaker in France made him very friendly, but he was still very new to Fan Ju, he didn't know if he would say something that made the other party feel uncomfortable.
Fan Ju only smiled at Nadal's "Mu Ne", seeing Nadal's expression, he felt that he had seen his "previous life", although many memories of the outside world were a little vague, but Fan Ju's own personality and habits, how could he not understand.
He sees communication in Nadal's eyes, but because of his introverted personality, he can't let go of talking to strangers, if this stranger can show enough friendliness, then it is easy for him to let go of his defense and communicate with you honestly, and even become a loyal friend.
"I heard that you also participated in this tournament, I really envy that you don't have to go to the qualifiers, I've been here for a week, and I don't even have anyone to talk to, except for Raschet, who is chatting with your uncle." Fan Ju took the initiative to show his friendliness and brought up the topic of the match to communicate with Nadal.
"Yes, it's really uncomfortable to go out and play, and I usually only play with my uncle." Nadal doesn't talk right away, but being able to talk is a good start.
"Thank you, you see that being an athlete is a trouble, you can't even drink coffee when you go out, and it seems that you are the same." Fan thanked the waiter, holding up the fruity orange juice and said to the white milk in Nadal's cup.
Although it is only a few sentences, Nadal Jue's Fan Ju speaks calmly, without any aggressive questions, as if he is just expressing his feelings, but it allows you to talk.
Nadal felt good, the two gradually chatted about the game from the live and drink, the two junior tennis players have their own game experience, of course, Nadal's game is more high-end, in the process of telling the tour and the world's high-ranking players, Fan Ju obviously feels that Nadal and himself have the same desire for tennis and victory!
"How did it feel about this competition? Want to win? Fan Ju drank the orange juice in the cup in one gulp, and the long talk made him salivate a lot.
Speaking of victory, Nadal's eyes lit up, but after a while he shook his head, and just as Fan Ju was puzzled, Nadal opened his mouth and explained: "I would love to win, but I'm not good at hard courts, I prefer to play on clay, my opponent is the second seed Christopher Verlegan, he is not my opponent on clay, but on hard courts, I have very little chance of winning." ”
Nadal is honest, he doesn't exaggerate his strength, he has a strong confidence in clay, but hard courts are really not what he is good at, and he doesn't want to lie to his new friend, so he is very honest.
"Really? Looks like you need me to help you get revenge, isn't it Christopher Verlegan? I think I can win. Fan Ju did not hide his confidence at all, but he was a young player three years older than him, even if the ranking was temporarily higher than himself, Fan Ju was not worried at all.
Rafael Nadal didn't understand what Fan Ju said for a while, but when Fan Ju told him the serial number of the match, he also understood it.
The second seed is in the bottom half of the tournament, and Nadal, who finished runner-up at the last tournament in Cherbourg, France, has a direct qualification for the main draw, but unfortunately the draw is that he must fight the second seed in the first round, unlike Sergio Roitman, who defeated him in the previous match, and only needs to play a first-round match against a qualifying opponent.
Not every qualifier is as varied as Fan Ju, most of the players who need to play the qualifying tournament are because they are not ranked high enough like Fan Ju, and a small number of them will be like Dai Na, who obviously have the strength but delay the time and cannot directly participate in the main competition.
Rafael Nadal just played the final in Cherbourg yesterday, and both matches were in France, but the fatigue accumulated on the road and in the game is still not so easy to get rid of.
Nadal didn't know Fan Ju before, so he didn't pay attention to Fan Ju's position in the game, Fan Ju's draw number was 29, and the opponent in the first round was a Japanese player Takao Suzuki, although this opponent was ranked 1o2 in 98, but Fan Ju's technical characteristics, so that he was least afraid of that type of player with fast mobility.
So he is very confident about advancing to the second round, and Nadal said that he may lose the match, even if there is no such thing as revenge, he will have to fight Christopher Verlegan!
"Do you have faith? Oh, even if I ask too much, I think you'll be able to win him. At first, Nadal wanted to ask Fan Ju why he was confident and whether he was joking, but when he saw the confidence on Fan Ju's face, he felt that he had asked the wrong thing and immediately changed his tone.
"Hahaha! Not only will I win him, but I'll win this race and the next race in Italy, I'm going to win it! Full of confidence, Fan Ju told Nadal what he had hidden plans.
"Italian game? Could it be the clay match between Cagliari No. 17 and Baletta No. 24? ”
For some reason, Fan Ju suddenly felt that Nadal was in a fight, but he nodded anyway, and then added, "And Sanremo's three-stop clay tournament." ”
"No, the race in San Renault has nothing to do with me, but the winner of the match between Cagliari and Barletta will be me!" Nadal said with a confident glint in his eyes, as if the match had already been taken into his arms.
Fan Ju suddenly felt that his ridiculous premonition might really be true, and he would be so "coincidental" to participate in three matches with Nadal at the same time?
But how could Fan Ju admit defeat, he had already made a decision, he wanted to win, he wanted to keep winning on the tennis court!
Without speaking, Fan Ju told Nadal with his eyes that he would not give in, and the two looked at each other in silence, and sparks full of warlike intent flashed between their eyes!
I don't know how many nymphomaniac French women have their hearts sprouted, but the two of them didn't know at all, except for the French women who liked special, the two who seemed to be chatting on the side had long been silently watching Fan Ju and Nadal's actions.
"It seems that you are right, Raphael needs to find an opponent for him, although I don't think the American method can really turn an Asian into a genius, but this example, I think he has a similar feeling to Raphael." Tony Nadal glanced at Fan Ju and said to his friend with a smile.
Raschet didn't speak, just nodded, he deliberately arranged to bring Fan Ju out to meet Nadal, he naturally didn't need to find Fan Ju to lead the way, Fan Ju was too young and too powerful, he needed an opponent who could move forward and compete with him, this kind of genius can't be found among the young people of Nickelodeon, but Rafael Nadal has such potential.
The spark of battle ignites in a small French café, and which one will emerge victorious? How many exciting (emotional) new chapters will be written in the battle of the teenagers?
