Chapter 353: Three Stations of Red Clay

During the day or from morning to noon, Fan Ju will train with the players of these national teams, of course, the practice is limited to the practice matches between Fan Ju and other players, and then Fan Ju and the team next to him will analyze each ball.

Then repeat the process to make the other party clear about their problems and find a more suitable and reasonable way to gain the initiative on the field.

The team's analysis is also applicable to Fan Ju, but Fan Ju has fewer problems, and some tactical mistakes can often use technology to turn the situation around.

Unlike other players, once suppressed, they may lose the ability to resist counterattacks, giving full play to the ability of a top player to be at the top of the food chain in tennis.

For the practice of the women's team, especially doubles, Fan Ju relies more on pressing in front of the net to give the opponent more experience, and he has a world-class super breakthrough ability in front of the net, which can form great pressure on these players, prompting them to refine their cooperation and enhance their ability to resist the raid in front of the net.

On April 15th, a hungry Fan Ju boarded the plane to Monaco again, and the Monaco Masters on the 19th was about to begin, and Fan Ju was about to usher in the next intensive and grueling schedule, arriving in Monaco with only four days to adjust.

"Nadal, a sad boy, was injured so badly this time that he missed his best explosive stage, could it be that the god of his family is testing him?" Fan Ju received this bad news during the training camp.

Yesterday, April 14, Nadal was playing on a clay tour in Portugal. After winning the second round, he unexpectedly announced his retirement in the third round.

Fan Ju was very concerned about this and called Tony. However, the news received is not good, and his entire clay season is probably going to be completely scrapped.

It is expected to take a full three months to recover, and it will take a long time to return from injury to find form again.

What's more, in the cooperation between Fan Ju and Nadal before this, it was obvious that Nadal's skills had improved qualitatively, and this sudden burst of improvement made him feel very relieved, because he knew it. Nadal has gone through his youth and is about to get on the fast track again.

Fan Ju is looking forward to Nadal's explosion in this year's clay season, and even looks forward to playing two matches against Nadal on the court. Higher than lower on red clay.

But this news completely disappointed Fan Ju's expectations, and what is even more tragic is that Fan Ju has completely lost his doubles partner this time, and originally planned to focus on doubles for the time being. This time it was a real hassle-free.

Looking for a temporary partner? It's a Masters. Even the registration has to be in advance, even if Fan Ju pulls Zeng Shaodizzy now, the combined rankings of the two will not be enough to qualify.

In other words, not only Morocco, but also Rome, Hamburg, and the French Open, Fan Ju will fight alone in the singles arena, fighting his own battle alone.

"Hope for a good outcome, right?" Fan Ju squinted on the plane. While recuperating in his spirit, he thought.

……

"Monte Carlo. Fan Ju was eliminated in three rounds, and the promotion before the clay net was weak. ”

"Broken in Rome, in front of the net encountered red clay interception."

"Coria revenge semi-finals, Fan Ju lost the best chance of the final on clay."

"Don't be too stressed, none of these newspapers are reliable, you have all reached the semi-finals, and you still refuse to stop opening your mouth, and you owe it to clean up." Rembrandt pushed open the newspapers in front of him, each of them saying that Fan Ju was on clay and wanted to follow Sampras's old path, of course, with the current results, Fan Ju actually played not badly.

The Monte Carlo Masters was eliminated in the third round, and Fan Ju could only say that his opponents had indeed figured out the way in front of the net, and he played very well, especially on clay, the ball speed became slower, and the acceleration effect caused by double speed was directly reduced by a notch.

As for Roma, they still lost in the third round, and the highest ranking was only the Argentine player who had reached the top 20 in 2000.

In fact, in both games, Fan Ju reached the third round, and it was also the top 16 on clay, but the problem is that Fan Ju was too strong before, and people were expecting his clay, but Fan Ju did not show signs of rapid progress on hard courts.

It also made people apply the title of difficult to win the championship on clay in front of the net, and also applied it to Fan Ju.

If you want to inherit some, you have to pay, Fan Ju put on the banner of serving and surfing, and naturally has to endure the torture on the clay, but Fan Ju is not without any changes, the simple serve on the clay can not play the effect, he has seen through, and he can't play a whole game by double speed alone.

So he strengthened the offensive rhythm on the bottom line, switched to a comprehensive offensive play, and achieved both offense and defense on the bottom line, and then took the initiative to launch an offensive, and this change really worked.

This also allowed him to reverse his previous disadvantage in one fell swoop at the final Hamburg Masters, and also made the media finally change their tune, not talking about Fan Ju, but seizing Fan Ju's elimination of Coria in the previous Masters, so that this match was crowned with revenge.

In addition to increasing his career points to 3,110 and bringing home more than $150,000 in tournament prize money, Fan Ju's ranking has not changed.

However, the same does not mean that the others will not change either, at least Coria, who was originally above him, and then his excellent performance was promoted by one place.

And Ferrero, the king, lost his aura in this year's clay season, plagued by his own injuries, and fell to fourth in the world.

Coria and Ferrero are both around 3,400 points, while the gap between Fan Ju and them is more than 300 points, which seems very far away, but don't forget that if Fan Ju can continue to maintain the momentum at the beginning of the year, it will not be difficult to erase this gap.

With the results of the battle, Fan Ju has defeated most of the players above him, and neither the media nor the public will question Fan Ju's ability at this point.

It may be a shame that he was not able to beat Federer and prove that he has the strength to reach the top of the throne, but it does not mean that Fan Ju has any trouble in reaching the top three in the world.

Ferrero's results this season are significantly worse than last year's, and the short-lived world No. 1 has not been able to help him get rid of injuries.

Maybe in response to that sentence, he lived longer than his opponent, and he was the last person to laugh.

"Looking at the subtraction in the back, my liver hurts, I really can't imagine that last year's results have become a burden this year." Looking at the points that need to be filled with up to 1395 points by the end of the year, it is really not a simple matter.

Last year, Fan Ju really went after the French Open in the tennis world, which also means that Fan Ju must only maintain a better state than last year, not worse, in order to break through in points and rankings.

When the ranking is low, Fan Ju doesn't care about these, but when the ranking reaches the current level of Fan Ju, any change may become a topic in the mouth of the media.

The points of the three clay Masters did not actually make Fan Ju earn much, and it is clear from the change in points that the 2800 points after the Miami Masters ended and the 3100 points at the Hamburg Masters seem to be a lot.

But in fact, if you don't reach the semi-finals in the last round, which is similar to the first two races, I'm afraid that the final points will have to be subtracted by 150 points, and even 3,000 points will not be exceeded.

Tennis is a big river against the current, if you don't move forward, you will be rushed backwards, let alone keep climbing up, and it is not easy to even maintain the ranking.

"Don't pretend to me, I scored more than 1,700 points in 8 games in the first half of the year, and there are still 12 matches waiting for you to play, including 3 Grand Slams, if Ferrero doesn't exert his strength, there must be one of the top three players at the end of the year!" Rembrandt was confident, as if he were the one who was fighting.

At present, there are only two people left in the tennis world who can earn points, Federer and Roddick, and even if the other players chase fast, they can't erase the point gap of more than 1,000 points.

If Fan Ju can push his year-end points to 4,000 points, and may even squeeze Roddick out of the second-in-command, then it will be a bright prospect for Fan Fei to compete for hegemony, and Rembrandt will laugh when he thinks about it.

In fact, in recent years, don't look at IMG's prosperity, in fact, except for some departments, most of them are not profitable, and the emergence of Fan Ju has opened up the Chinese market and given them an opportunity for recovery, which makes the whole company very excited.

However, the strength of the sports department is difficult to build up the momentum of the entire company, and how to promote competitive players including the entertainment department and non-tennis players to the Chinese market is what they value.

With the French Open just around the corner, Rembrandt is hoping that Fan Ju can continue to maintain this momentum and play hamburg style on clay.

Fan Ju himself knows that he has changed his style of play, only to adapt him better on clay, and the match with Coria clearly shows his weaknesses, and he is far inferior to the experienced top players in possession on clay.

Looking at Federer, his all-round style of play is very good in any venue, although he missed Monaco and was eliminated in the second round of the Rome Masters, but in the end he won the championship in Hamburg, but he was firmly under him.

Fan Ju had a strong momentum in the first half of the year, with a tour title and a Masters title, but Federer was stronger than him, with 1 Tour Title, 2 Masters Titles, and an Australian Open Grand Slam, and he had already scored a full 2430 points, opening up a full 700 points advantage for Fan Ju.

Federer's year-end No. 1 finish this year is almost settled, and unless Fan Ju or other players can launch a Jedi counterattack in the second half of the year, there will be no hindrance for the football king to step forward on the stage of history. (To be continued......)
