Chapter 331: The First Battle of Fenner

"Nadal wouldn't be a kid, would he?" Fan Ju looked at the TV screen dumbfounded, he just wanted to see the first meeting between these two opponents with his own eyes, but the question is, this is too exciting, right?

Nadal is running and jumping on the court, while Federer is not a strong attacker, and the attack is weak, of course, this game is still clearly different from the top professional players like Fan Ju in the eyes of ordinary audiences, Fan Ju saw more interesting things, or the key to this game!

Is Federer in good form? No, although his movements seem to be elegant, but the accuracy of the ball is very biased, and the inability to play steadily has become his biggest obstacle, and it can be seen from the pitiful number of nets that Federer's tennis is not in his best condition.

And what about Nadal? From the running and feel, Fan Ju can see that Nadal is still the same Nadal, with strong muscles and strong explosiveness, and like himself, Nadal also has an advantage in strength when facing Federer.

Yesterday he lost the doubles, but it didn't affect Nadal, perhaps because Fan Ju's words inspired him, and on the court he was not only not a passive beach, but a giant wave that could sweep the beach away!

"Realized? Backshot vs. attack, doesn't work, right? Why don't you put the ball in front of the net, can't you even control the ball in today's hand? Fan Ju was watching the game, muttering to himself, and several people watching the game couldn't help but look back at Fan Ju, what was wrong.

Federer tried to attack Nadal's backhand with a forehand, and the watchable Fan almost laughed. Where is the weakness of the little stubborn bull's backhand that can be attacked, compared to the power of his forehand large-angle pull, Fan Ju does not want to face Nadal's existing strength. There is speed again, and the control is extremely strong backshot.

A strong attack was struck, but Nadal won with a strong topspin, a stronger backhand, several balls, and Federer made a strict mistake after such a connecting ball.

"Raphael's backhand topspin is no weaker than my forehand. When the ball is unstable, it is not so easy to be beaten back. Fan Ju envied Nadal's good fortune and met after consecutive matches. Federer, who is at his lowest ebb.

When Fan Ju and Federer fought, the opponent was undoubtedly at the peak of momentum and state, and Fan Ju's strong topspin did have some offensive intentions to suppress Federer. Often, however, Federer takes the initiative. Faster line changes, and the force of Fan Ju is canceled out.

This makes it difficult for Fan Ju to play in the game, continuous and effective topspin suppression, and no strong topspin, Fan Ju is even weaker when he receives the serve and the second serve.

Today was different, as the match between Fan Ju and Federer would never have appeared. In the middle of the bottom line, there are more than a dozen shots in a row.

It's not Fan Ju who takes the initiative to press on the offense. It was Federer who quickly changed the line or pressed the return ball close to the baseline, forcing Fan Ju to not be able to play a powerful topspin return.

But Nadal did it on the screen, shot after beat, Federer's return ball was very shallow, and there was still a long distance from the bottom line, which gave Nadal enough time to charge up and swing the racket, if it wasn't for the long confrontation, Nadal was relieved, I'm afraid this point, but Federer was in danger.

At 6:3, Nadal hit the break first, and seeing Nadal's excited appearance, Fan Ju didn't know whether to say congratulations or envy.

"If Federer doesn't change, he's going to lose!" Fan Ju saw the essence, or rather, the player's intuition told him that this vague answer.

After the start of the second set, sure enough, Federer's style of play changed, and he attacked less on the backhand, but he did not attack the forehand at will, but returned the ball at a large angle, and narrowed the space left for the forehand to return the ball to a minimum!

"Wrong, wrong." Fan Ju couldn't help but feel sorry for Federer, although such a change seemed to limit Nadal, but it did not really catch Nadal's weakness.

In fact, in the first set, especially in the opening few attacks, Nadal has exposed his weaknesses, several attempts at the net attack, the scoring chance is only 50%, and there are a few times when he can score, but he can't hit a lethal ball like Fan Ju, and he handed over the right to counterattack to the opponent in vain.

But Federer didn't attack at this point, is he really arrogant enough to think that fighting the bottom line can save the situation, that is Nadal's strongest point, running, ball sense, this guy is born with an unusual intuition, that kind of hunter's instinct.

The simple way to keep the good hunter from catching the prey is to put the prey in a place that the hunter can see but can't touch, and Fan Ju's ball in front of the net does exactly that, releasing a small ball at the opposite angle against Nadal, who is still hovering on the baseline, and then blocking the return line with the ball.

Nadal will not panic, but the choice is very simple, at this time, even if he comes back, Fan Ju still has the second beat blocking, the score difference between Nadal and Fan Ju's practice match is often lost on this, on the contrary, the bottom line is attacked, but Fan Ju may not be able to take away many points from Nadal.

Roaring excitedly, Nadal jumped up and down the court with joy, and when the last high-pressure back-angle smash was played, Nadal had already impulsively come to the net, excitedly stretched his hand over the net, and waited for Federer, who was still shaking his head on the baseline.

"Congratulations." In a simple sentence, Federer couldn't help but think of Fan Ju, Nadal and Fan Ju's style of play is of course different, but he still remembers what Fan Ju said to him in the first game.

Could it be him? Federer remembered the mysterious player Fan Ju was talking about, and he knew that Nadal's doubles partner was Fan Ju.

Thinking too much, Federer let go of his worries, this time he did not lose unjustly, and it was indeed time for him to rest and adjust his game.

The training state, the game state, the vacation state, the three states of the professional players are very different, the game state is almost tense, and the players who enter the state of slow state even need to rely on the warm-up game to improve their state in advance.

It's not like picking up a racket and entering the court to play, for example, Fan Ju, before the game, for a few hours, in a slow warm-up, eating, training, and even sleeping and resting are completely different from normal training.

No victory is easy to come by, and the amount of hardship the players put in is not visible from the audience and behind the TV.

"They're done, it's my turn." Fan Ju moved his body and prepared for the warm-up exercise, and he was glad that his match started two hours later than the end of the two, and because of this, he was able to witness an extraordinary match.

Fanju's opponent in the third round, Vincent Spada, is one of the mainstream tennis players in the United States, but the ranking has not been high or low, not because of his strength, but in 2000, he suffered a relatively strict injury, which just covered up his peak period.

Vincent, who is 30 years old this year, is already a veteran in the tennis world, with a highest ranking of 29 at the end of last year, and has the intention of making a further breakthrough this year.

Because of injuries when he was young, he began to break out after thirty, and Fan Ju called this kind of player an old man who missed spring when he was young and could only make up for it later.

And this kind of player, often their career will become extremely long, probably because of the injury, so that they do not consume too much potential, so that they also regain their enthusiasm for tennis and the game.

Agassi is arguably the epitome of this type of player, and with his current form, it is foreseeable that his career will continue for a few more years.

In the face of Vincent, Fan Ju has no pressure, of course, he attaches great importance to every game, especially in the last round, Vincent eliminated Safin to complete the promotion, and the game naturally had Safin himself in poor condition, and he wanted to get out of the game in advance.

But we can't ignore the strength of these veterans, Vincent's name, Fan Ju is not less seen in the game, the table is often not bad, but there is a weak strong, strong when strong, weak problem, the body is also slightly worse, and it is difficult to have continuity in the results.

The process of the game is indeed like this, Vincent was very strong at the beginning, as if he wanted to win Fan Ju in one fell swoop, and Fan Ju's style is that if you attack, I will attack more powerfully, and it is really on the field, staged a wonderful offensive battle.

However, in the second set, Vincent's attack began to weaken, while Fan Ju became stronger and stronger, and the reasonable distribution of multiples made Fan Ju's rhythm go up a notch, and the continuous double speed made the overall rate change.

The strength is not the return of Fan Ju, but the rhythm of sudden changes, even if the double speed is not obvious to the improvement of technology, but it can fundamentally improve the rhythm of Fan Ju.

Against slow-paced opponents, the improvement of Fan Ju is poison, you have to follow along with the improvement, and the faster it is, the more beneficial it is to Fan Ju, want to slow down? As long as you dare to hit the speed ball, you will definitely be caught by Fan Ju in front of the net!

Putting Fan Ju on the Internet, I'm afraid it's a taboo for players in the entire tennis world, even if Fan Ju has been in Federer's game, showing that he is not a strength in front of the net that can be absolutely suppressed, but the question is, do you have the ability to withstand the pressure of Fan Ju's break? Do you have the level to speed up with Fan Ju and not fall behind?

If not, then coming to the net often means that there is a more than 80% probability that a point in your hand may be lost at any time.

Back at the hotel, Fan Ju saw Nadal, and the young man had an overjoyed expression, as if he was waiting for a compliment.

"Well done, all over me." Fan Ju is not stingy with praise, he knows that Nadal is so strong, although he doesn't mention it much, but he always regards himself as a goal to strive for. (To be continued......)
