Chapter 316: The Tyrant Race
"Bag received? It's so fast, I still have to take a few days, but it's a pity that it's not free shipping, ah! What is free shipping? Fan Ju finally gave the New Year's money, of course, not in cash, but in Milan's famous Montenapoleone brand store, bought two handbags of about 3,000 euros.
3,000 euros for one, two for 6,000, if it weren't for the little girl's mention, Fan Ju almost didn't think of giving Yan Ximu a New Year's gift.
"Forget it, Lao Tzu will earn tens of thousands of euros by doing an activity, just buy a bag, and pay taxes in advance!" Fan Ju pretended to be generous, anyway, after a week, he would still be able to earn the money back.
Milan Indoor Carpet Tournament, the purpose of Fan Ju's visit to Europe this time, the competition list has come out, Fan Ju, the world No. 8 player, is the proper top seed.
Nadal only arrived in Milan yesterday, and unlike Fan Ju, Nadal went home and lay on his bed, chatting with his girlfriend comfortably, but he could only live in this hotel, accompany a group of big men, and had to buy gifts for his girlfriend's girlfriend while reversing jet lag.
Fortunately, the two have practiced doubles together in the Australian Open before, this time it is not too compact, and it is almost the same to adapt to the different court conditions a little, and it is too late to add any new changes in the short term, as for how many rounds they can play, it is up to fate.
"Didn't you plan to avoid me, why did you sign up when you knew I was going to play?" Fan Ju knowingly teased Nadal.
Nadal was not angry, but even if he knew that Fan Ju was teasing him, there were two other matches going on this week. However, one of the hard-court events was held in the United States, with the top seed Roddick and the second seed Agassi. There is no difference in intensity and whether there is a model or not.
As for the other clay match, Nadal wants to participate, but the problem is that the venue is far away in South America, if you want to participate, you have to continue to reverse the jet lag, and there is Gonzalez in the game, and the Brazilian player Kuerten, who won the world No. 1 on clay, is reluctant to participate in the competition, and there is no chance of winning at all.
"I'll play as long as I want. I don't think I can touch you as the No. 1 seed. "Nadal can't play casually even if he doesn't want to play singles this time, and the high-speed court like the carpet is really too different from his style.
Fan Ju is the most fond of this kind of course. Especially in the absence of other high-ranking players, even Fan Ju wants to bet on himself, and he will definitely win the championship if he buys himself.
However, gambling is the strictest in the ATP, as long as you participate in gambling. Once it comes to strict zhòng. The likely result is a lifetime ban.
The punishment is much stricter than taking a two-year ban from drugs, and Fan Ju can't afford to take this risk for the sake of this extra money from gambling.
Fan Ju is not like other weaker players, he changed to a country with a small business and population, I am afraid that even if he reaches his ranking, all the endorsement fees together are not worth $1 million a year.
But all of Fan Ju's endorsements add up to almost 20 million a year, and he really has to be banned for gambling. I really don't get a penny of this money.
"It's okay, there are so many opportunities. It's clay season in Europe starting in April, and then it's time to watch you perform. Fan Ju is exaggerating, but it is true.
In the clay competition, Fan Ju has no other arrangements except for the three Masters and the Grand Slam, after all, Fan Ju's strength is still on the hard court, and his spin is strong enough, but it is not the most suitable material for the bottom line defense of clay tactics.
When facing non-clay or low-level clay players, Fan Jushang can rely on strength to win, but once he encounters a clay player who is really close to the top strength, Fan Ju will most likely have to fight on the street.
It's not that he can't win a set or two, but he drags it down on the bottom line, Fan Ju lacks a soul that belongs to clay compared with those clay players, maybe sometime in the future, Fan Ju will give birth to his own clay style of play from his tactics, but not now, but at the moment when all his skills are really mature.
Nadal is currently not eligible to compete in the singles at the three clay Masters, which is perhaps the most regrettable thing for Fan Ju, who definitely has the talent to take clay to the next level, not only in terms of technique, but also in terms of the indomitable fighting spirit.
Perhaps one day in the future, Fan Ju will also stand in the position of challenger and challenge the king of clay on the top clay court!
"The game is about to start again, but this is my stage!" Fan Ju looked at this arena as if he was already standing on the podium of the championship.
State? After returning from the Australian Open, a week may not be the best time to adjust, but in this arena, it is enough to face these opponents!
On the high-speed court, the demon on that court is back, and the fatigue of the final match of the Australian Open is completely gone, and there is nothing but excitement and passion here, and the certainty of victory.
The match seemed to Fan Ju to move so quickly, because in the first three rounds, Fan Ju had not played a single game in the third set, and no opponent had even dragged the match into a tie-break in any match.
Tactically advantaged! Fan Ju's serve is the ultimate weapon in this arena, and there is no opponent in terms of technique, and in a tournament where even the top players are not available, Fan Ju's skills are enough to dominate the court.
Even if there are a few players with excellent skills, they can't play a role in this arena at all, just as the players complain about the carpet court, where only speed is the only way to win the race!
Nadal and Kalovic were lucky enough to get past the first round in three sets, but they were eliminated in the second round, and there was no way his style of play was really suitable for this venue, even in doubles.
Even if Nadal's partner is the killer Fan Ju in front of the net, he only advanced to the third round in doubles, but he got 75 points, and Fan Ju's doubles ranking finally brushed into the top 100, in fact, it is not much worse than Nadal, whose ranking has been improved to 72 because of the Australian Open and this match.
In doubles, Fan Ju is a real main attacker, and Nadal, who is younger than Fan Ju and also serves as an assister, has higher points than the main attacker, which is really rare in the doubles combination.
After three rounds, Nadal left the tournament for good, and he was about to move to the Middle East for another tournament with a very lucrative prize money.
"It's a local tyrant, it's a pity that the gap with my game arrangement is too big, otherwise I really want to earn the 200,000 appearance fee!" The Dubai Tennis Championships, this match can be said to be a game of pure tycoons.
An ordinary tour tournament has smashed out nearly one million prize money, but this is not as high as his high appearance fee, and half of the top 10 players in the world will attend this game, which shows that this strength is not ordinarily high.
Even Nadal sued Fan Ju that he also had an appearance fee of $20,000, and Fan Ju could only serve this group of local tyrants.
Nadal does not have a financial company yet, even if IMG has been interested in signing Nadal, but Toni has always insisted on waiting for Nadal to play better, and at the age of 18, he is letting him make his own decisions.
So it's normal for Nadal to be tight on money now, and he has to run to the competition for a stable income and a generous prize money.
Seeing Federer, who participated in the Dubai Championship, and looking at the Masters held in Indianapolis, USA, just two days before the final of the Dubai Championship, Fan Ju had to admire Federer.
Even if there is a bye in the first round, there will only be 3 days to adjust to the finals of the Dubai competition, and this time will have to face a time difference that spans half the world, and I am afraid that only a daring master like Federer would dare to do this.
"I don't have the ability anymore, so let's honestly play the game in front of me." Envy is not enviable, Fan Ju knows very well where his current stage is.
Of course, he has to fight for the Masters Grand Slam, but it is enough to meet these matches in his best condition.
As for the competitions without clear competitors, such as the Milan Indoor Championships in front of him, Fan Ju will of course go all out to win the championship, not only for the points and glory, but also for the only way he can close the distance to that goal!
The more he watched Federer's game, the more Fan Ju felt that his progress was not fast enough, and compared with last year's Wimbledon, Federer's current Federer has undergone a qualitative change.
Movement is more flexible, hitting the ball more elegantly, top-level baseline, offense and defense are as free as he wants, as if he is not playing, but using a magic rope to control the ball.
As long as Federer himself does not travel to CUÒ, in the near future, I am afraid that he will be another feared and unbeatable player in the tennis world.
Can only be defeated, not suppressed, how long will Federer really reign in tennis? Fan Ju also didn't know in his heart that this year's Federer had just stepped into a field that even the top players couldn't touch, and what kind of Cheng Dù he could achieve could only be judged by future generations.
Fanju's fourth-round opponent, Mario Ancic, initially didn't take the Croatian player, who has been ranked outside the top 50, in the first place.
Or in other words, Mario is not a threat to him, he is Federer, Roddick, the top of the tennis pyramid.
However, his eyes are above the top and he ignores some small roles, and small roles are not necessarily small tricks, and they also have a day of outburst, just like when Fan Ju himself is meaningful, even if a giant is not careful, he will trip over a small stone and almost capsize in the gutter.
