Well, you read that right, it's Kenya, in fact, Fan Ju still wants to go to some "developed" countries to compete, and at the same time as the competition, he can also travel or something.

In fact, this is also to blame Fan Ju himself, he is unwilling to become a "national player" even if Coach Li wants to rely on his face in the domestic tennis circle to get a wild card for Fan Ju.

"Hey, it's a pity, I was supposed to be able to participate in the satellite tournament this time, and I don't dare to say the final points, the domestic ranking will definitely improve a lot, you kid is stubborn, don't you just bow your head, the cost of a trip to Kenya is 2 or 30,000 yuan, you kid is not short of money, I also know, but now I have lost my face." Coach Li still complains a lot about Fan Ju's refusal to give in, but he cares more about Fan Ju's first official game than these.

"Okay Lao Li, isn't it just going to play abroad, I should travel abroad, and besides, in these domestic games, it's too boring to grab a position at my level." Fan Ju is broad-hearted, especially when he really understands the situation of low-level professional tennis in China at this time, he has no intention of grabbing a job.

The original text of Future Race English is Futures, if it is directly translated, it means futures, of course, English and Chinese, there are many words that agree with different words, Futures can also be translated as future or what will happen in the future.

In the tennis term, the meaning of Futures also contains the meaning of future stars, the players participating in the competition are like those futures that have not yet risen are worth looking forward to and paying attention to, the future tournament represents the lowest level of the event, it can be said that the tennis foundation of the whole country, from the country every year how many future tournaments face low-level professional players, it can be seen one or two.

There are no restrictions on the registration of future tournaments, even if you are not a professional player before, you can register in advance after spending $20 in the ITF, and like some countries in developed tennis regions, such as the United States, there are more than 30 future tournaments in 02 alone, and China, with a population of nearly 1.3 billion, only has 4 tournaments, which shows the basic gap between them.

In the future, there is no restriction on the nationality of the applicants, so even if the competition in China can see many players from Asia and even European and American countries to participate, although the domestic competition has the advantage of registration, it can even use wild cards to directly arrange players to enter the main competition.

However, in the face of European and American players, often the strength of the players is slightly weaker than the ability to resist, many times the domestic event has become a good place for European and American players to brush up "points", but also caused a domestic competition is difficult to find, a qualifying position not only to see the useless domestic rankings in the world, but also to fight for the face, a ball has not yet played behind the scenes I don't know how many times it has been encountered.

Such a desperate only for that initial ATP point, only with the points can you sign up for the future tournament directly, not only to get a world ranking that can be queried by both the ATP and ITF, but also the first step into the professional tennis world.

Although Coach Li wants to report for Fan is not a future tournament, the satellite tournament is also highly competitive, with 32 competition places, even if only one month of the final two players can get ATP points, but the opportunity to face professional players is very rare, especially like Fan Ju now has a certain foundation, and the only way to improve is to participate in professional competitions.

"I really can't take you kid, I hope you can have better luck this time, even if you lose some money, but as long as you can win a little points, even if you earn it, when the time comes, the Ningbo and Taizhou races in August, let's take the world ranking to register, I see what reason they have to say to me What nonsense reason to say no individual participation, no domestic ranking, no wild card!" The more Lao Li spoke, the more angry he became, remembering the official's face a month ago, and he couldn't wait to slap a few mouths.

Fan Ju looked at the uncle helplessly, how could this anger be endless? But thinking about being angry, Fan Ju thought of what he looked like when he told Yan Ximu half a month ago that he was going to Kenya to participate in the competition, and now he feels so scary when he thinks about it, eldest sister, I don't plan to take you to see lions and tigers, didn't you say that you were going to take the ACCA exam and were not available.

In addition to scoring points for a few domestic players who only have a "good" level, domestic competitions are also a good place for foreign players to get points, but there is not only China in the world, a backward country in tennis, some places even European and American players do not want to go, and even if they sign up, they will choose to give up if they can't enter the main tournament, and some don't plan to go even if they have entered the main tournament and have other games to play, such as the Sahara, such as Kenya......

When it comes to Africa, the first thing that comes to mind must be poverty, the second estimate is chaos, and then there are diseases, wars, tribal conflicts or something, maybe you have to add AIDS, Kenya, a country with a population of more than 35 million, has more than 100,000 people dying of AIDS every year, and more than 100,000 people are infected with AIDS, and the total number of AIDS infections is more than one million.

So Fan Ju decided to take care of himself when he went out this time, of course, he was not very interested in black girls, for fear that someone would take the initiative to ** himself when he saw his "handsome and chic" appearance.

Ahem, Fan Ju felt that he was thinking too much, but this Kenyan game, as Coach Li Shiqin said, is purely a pure loss-making business, what? Champion bonus? Don't joke, 10K is $10,000 that's the total prize money, and this also includes doubles matches, although the first round of the eliminated is not much, but don't forget that the prize money in each round will increase, so many people have one point, how much do you think is left in the hands of the champion?

Anyway, Coach Li calculated an account for Fan Ju, if he can play the main match, the bonus of only 118 US dollars lost in the first round is definitely a big loss, and if he can survive the second round, then the bonus will increase to 200, of course, there is another 1 ATP point to take, with Fan Ju's current situation, it is not a loss to protect the capital, of course, it is also a loss for ordinary professional players.

What can you make it to the third round of the quarterfinals? Then congratulations on adding 290 to each of the bonuses, plus 2 ATP points, and you will definitely have one of the top 10 rankings in China!

As for the semifinals $480 bonus and 4 points, don't think about the runner-up $900 bonus and 8 points, although there are not many masters who go, and it will not be a mediocre player to be able to play that part, you are a rookie who has just entered the tennis world or think about how to get your first ATP point first.

Fan Ju is not a megalomaniac, although his future goal is great, but now he is also very clear about his situation, although the double speed ability is more plug-in than the plug-in, but after all, it is not a golden finger to the sky, and he will not do anything to win the tour in the first game, and take off the big head dream of the Grand Slam the next day.

But well...... It's not impossible to think about a future champion Fan Ju, usually when training with Coach Li, Fan Ju usually doesn't use double speed abilities except when practicing some decomposition skills, so according to Coach Li's analysis of his ability, with Fan Ju's current level of luck, maybe he can pass two rounds and reach the eighths finals, but what if he uses his ability?

Well, even if the champion's $1,300 prize money is still a loss, and even the money for a round-trip plane ticket is not enough to pay, Fan Ju still has no intention of winning a few games and getting one or two points before going home.

Fan Ju is very clear about his current situation, with the training level of domestic tennis, it is not impossible for him to improve by training, but the next time spent is not 3 or 4 months can be done, and the training of international tennis has already progressed from simple practice to the process of combining play and practice, finding weaknesses and problems in the game, solving problems in training, and then testing the results in the game, and then continuing to find problems and solve problems The process of becoming stronger.

It can be said that who can solve the problems found on the field faster on the training ground, that means that his ranking will rise faster, and the process of this promotion is not limitless, age, talent, and even money will become an invisible obstacle, many people play tennis, although the results look pretty good, but the total prize money is only more than 100,000 US dollars in more than ten years, it seems to be a lot, but compared with their consumption, you will find that many low-level professional players are not like the support of the country, Many more are working part-time as coaches in tennis clubs to subsidize the cost of traveling to tournaments around the world.

If you really want to become a professional player, you must play more than 20 games a year, and if you don't have that number, it will be difficult to maintain a consistent competitive state, and if you take a two-month break due to injury, you may have already surpassed the rankings when you come back, and you can only go back to the qualifying tournament to start over.

It's brutal and incomprehensible, but that's competitive sports, a competitive game built on strength.

Fan Ju went to Kenya this time not only to earn points, but also the process of testing himself on the field, it is good to win, to prove that he can have the strength to challenge to a higher level, as for losing Fan Ju will not be discouraged, find problems and solve problems to really improve, as the coach said, as long as you can get points in this competition, it is not a loss, as for where you can go after that, it is considered extra earning.

This kind of ability to go abroad to brush points is not something that any person can do, the national system means rules, this kind of competition for points abroad, many ordinary families in China can't afford it at all, and there will not be many players in the system, but it's not nothing, Coach Li once told me to cite a few names, and their first points were also taken from foreign competitions.

However, unlike Fan Ju's trip to Kenya, people who go abroad are at most Thailand, Uzbekistan, and at most they go to the host country Japan to play games.
