Chapter Ninety-Nine: Two Wins and Losses

Fan Jude admits that Julian Noel's skills are on the high side of the world level, but the "old" atmosphere on his body is too obvious, he has too strong singles technical characteristics of the previous era, the bottom line is too slow to handle the ball, the accuracy of the return is indeed very high, and the tactics are also very beautiful, but in singles, he can only be constantly driven out of the high ranking by young masters who play the world with new technologies.

"You're right, he's aiming for doubles now, and last year his doubles pair has reached several doubles tour finals and won the title, and it seems that he wants to extend his career with doubles." Raschet gave Fan Ju an affirmative answer.

Julian's age is not small, and as a singles player, the age of 29 is still in the peak range, but in the next two years, his strength will eventually decline.

Judging from his ranking in the Top1oo, it is difficult for Julian to maintain that top-level technical level, but this player has no intention of retiring so lightly, and after realizing his singles shortcomings, he began to participate in doubles tournaments, which may not improve his singles skills, but can effectively increase the prize money and extend the length of his career.

Doubles is not like singles, after the age of 3o after the peak of physical and athletic ability will fall sharply, doubles is more about tactics and cooperation, some older players, even able to maintain a high ranking until 4o years old, can still get good results or even championships.

In singles, 4o years old is not to mention maintaining a high ranking, not to mention tournaments like tours, and even participating in the challenge tournament is at most a first-round consolation prize.

On the second day of the race, the sky was sunny, and Fan Ju finally felt a hint of French spring, which is a good time for France to warm up, and the vegetation began to grow as the warmer temperatures began to grow, and it was also more and more suitable for some outdoor sports.

Fan Ju looked at Julian Noel on the court, the opponent's baseline strength was very stable, and he firmly eliminated Fan Ju's sudden attacks again and again, but in addition to the steady dìng, other aspects lacked real oppression for Fan Ju, making the game lack some challenge.

However, Fan Ju still saw some advantages in the game that some opponents did not show Xiàn.

"3O:4O" is a sudden short change of line, Fan Ju has no time to chase the ball back, Julian's action is like lightning, and in an instant, he changes the method of hitting the ball.

This type of ball has been used many times in the game, and Julian often uses it to create a surprise attack on Fan Ju in a seemingly calm pair.

This is a standard doubles interception, short and fast, but it is difficult to hit such a ball in singles unless you are in front of the net, but the opponent has a lot of experience in doubles and is very well timing in multi-shot duels.

In particular, Fan Ju's occasional instability in some backshots was frequently caught by opponents to play a quick return opportunity.

"It's so difficult, there are no easy opponents, and the game is finally more interesting." He didn't think that his opponent had hidden something in the last match, or because he wanted more physicality to play in the doubles, the Croatian was not enough for Julian Noel to play at full strength.

Indeed, with the height of the Croat, it is enough trouble to deal with Julian Noor's precise baseline return, Julian is very good at frequently mobilizing opponents with accurate returns in the front and back courts, and a 198cm big Croatian simply cannot do such a flexible small range of movements.

Julian Noll himself is also 188 cm tall, both in terms of running and height, except for the light weight, there is no power suppression, which is why he chooses to play a more accurate return instead of using a high topspin pressure baseline return like Fan Ju.

Talent sometimes seems to be very subtle, but often talent can limit the development limit of many things, just like tennis talent, if you can't reach a height of 18o cm no matter how hard you try, then it means that you can only run faster and move more flexibly in tennis to take the lead.

In the same way, Julian has no talent for strength, no matter how he trains, it is difficult to achieve satisfactory results, maybe relying on concentrated muscle training can indeed barely improve the strength, but in order to barely increase the strength, but lose the accuracy of the return, this kind of change is not worth the loss, no player is willing to accept.

What are Fan Ju's talents, better learning and adaptability, excellent physical gifts, flexible and powerful muscles, and a solid foundation that is stable and able to burst high and turn in a short time.

Of course, the biggest talent still comes from the double ability in the brain, when Fan Ju once again pulled the opponent's gentle return ball out of a high change line suppressed on the bottom line, after winning another victory, he also won the semi-finals!

"Well done young lad." Old-timers have their own special language for greeting young players, and Julian Noll doesn't feel anything uncomfortable about the younger players who have eliminated him.

This is professional tennis, and this is how he eliminated one after another players who were older and more senior than him, and in the professional competition of professional tennis, you don't have to think about seniority or locker room contradictions.

Unless it's a doubles match, there's always only one thing you think about on the court, and that's how to beat the opponent in front of you and win.

Fan Ju smiled and said thank you, the result of the game was not unexpected, but the process made him more satisfied than expected, and the change in the opponent's playing style made him see some new things, maybe these things are very suitable for integration into his own game.

Raschet did not accompany Fan Ju on the sidelines as he used to do, and he had a more important task to carry out today, and the second half of the tournament was still being played at the same time as Fan Ju at another stadium.

Unlike Fan Ju, who only took an hour and 20 minutes to end the game, Robin Soderlin and Richard Gasquet, two evenly matched young players, fought to the death in the arena in order to compete for the last promotion spot, and Raschet was to get first-hand information and shoot the game on the spot for reference.

"The two of them played a very anxious match, first Gasquet won the first set, this is his home field, after the opening momentum, in the previous round he defeated the fourth seed Belgian Dick Norman in three sets, and in the evening doubles and advanced to the next level, today with a very popular match with Soderling, he had a strong advantage in the opening game." Raschet opened the video as he spoke, explaining the situation to Fan Ju.

Besançon's proximity to the east of France, the proximity to Belgium, the small size of the country, but the number of professional players, plus the fight against Christopher Verlegen, this tournament has three Belgians in the main event, second only to the local French players.

The Belgians are not the best players after all, and in this highly competitive European Challenge, they were all wiped out before the third round, including two highly-ranked players, and even Christopher Verlegen, who was expected before the game, met the big dark horse Fan Ju and could not escape the end of total annihilation.

"Richard Gasquet was so naïve to make such a low-level mistake against a player of equal strength, and it seems that he deserved to lose this time." Seeing the second set of the match, Fan Ju realized that Richard Gasquet was not in the right state, maybe there was a problem with his body, and Soderling grabbed several opportunities and broke the game first.

Like Julian Noll, who was eliminated by Fan Ju today, Richard Gasquet not only participated in singles, but also participated in doubles, but the situation of these two is different, Julian Noll's strength itself is under the opening of the model, he did not fight in the game, and in the case of the current defeat, there is no pity to lose.

But Richard Gasquet obviously has a chance to win, but the doubles match that took place at the same time a few days ago dragged down his swing, especially in this kind of high-intensity competitive competition, there is always a time to reach the limit, in the face of opponents of the same level, such limits are more likely to be exposed!

"Sure enough!" As expected, after Richard Gasquet won his opponent 6:3 in the first set, he was immediately returned 3:6 by his opponent in the second set, as if he was slapping his opponent in the face with the score, which was not easy for him to deal with.

Richard Gasquet, who originally wanted to save his body for the doubles held in the evening, did not hesitate to fight his opponent in the third set for a more important singles match.

Neither of them is mediocre, and when the strength is equal, in the face of Richard Gasquet, who does not stay behind, Robin Soderling is unlikely to repeat the "luck" of the second set.

This made it logical for the game to have a scorching score in the third set, which was deuced all the way, broken, and broken again, and played in the final tie-break.

"Just one point, Robin Soderlin only won one more point than his opponent, 7:5 Richard Gasquet lost the tie-break, Fan Ju, I think you have to be ready to be challenged in tomorrow's game." Lachester didn't say he was defeated, he still hasn't seen what the bottom line is, but he has to be ready to face a strong opponent who is not much different in age.

"I will, don't worry, I said my goal was to win the title, and I don't want Italy to be teased by Nadal." Fan Ju's eyes are full of fighting spirit, and he can't wait to face his opponent tomorrow in the ring.
