The voices of people were noisy, wheezing and sweating fluttered around, moving rhythmically fast, draining energy and body in this small room.

"Raphael, you're no match for me right now!" After Fan Ju stood up and wiped his sweat, he looked at Nadal who was still lying on the ground with a smile.

Nadal stood up with Fan Ju's outstretched hand, and Fan Ju gave him the goal of "playing the next game" training that he felt was impossible to achieve.

A simple squat can be so difficult, and on his first attempt, Nadal was unable to stand for less than 10 minutes.

"It's amazing that you can achieve a similar effect to a barbell squat with the weight of your body without compressing your spine, no wonder you can move so quickly without showing any signs of injury." Nadal wiped his sweat, the time was divided several times, and it only added up to half an hour, and he already felt a little detached from his feet, while Fan Ju just stood still like that, and even had time to joke with himself.

He even wondered if Fan Ju would have just stood until the gym closed if he hadn't reached his limit.

Fan Ju did not refute that Nadal did guess some "truth", and if it weren't for the lower game that he had trained from his small standing steps, he would not have been able to move so flexibly on the court.

"No matter how fast the pace is, it's useless, compared to being hit by the opponent, no matter how fast it is, it will only eat the ashes." Fan Ju threw down the towel and said depressedly as he simulated the action of waving a racket.

In the last game, the opponent taught Fan Ju a good lesson. This lesson made his slightly impetuous heart calm down again.

Fernando Gonzalez, he is not only a good clay player. It is also a strong bottom-line play.

Fan Ju's superficial skills also belong to the baseline play, mixing some serve and return to the net to form his own unique offensive mode, but in essence, it is still a member of the baseline play, more than 70% of the offensive score comes from the bottom line, both a small number of points in front of the net and advanced to the midfield.

A racket that swings quickly. The power of the feet slightly off the ground is used by many players just to enhance the lack of swing and make up for the shortcomings of speed.

But in one body strong enough. A player who is also very skilled in ball control, this kind of power is everyone's nightmare.

Precise and powerful? That's no longer enough to describe the power of the forehand, or the power of those foreshoots when Fan Ju fought Gonzalez. It is enough for Fan Ju to hit the ball with his forehand. With a completely new concept.

With a fast forward shot of more than 160 kilometers, Fan Ju can occasionally hit such a very high-speed return, and in the state of triple speed, as long as such a return ball is towards a slight opportunity space, then its effect is absolutely fatal.

However, such a return shot is like eating and drinking in the hands of his opponent, and Fan must withstand more than 5 such attacks in a game, in a see-saw single-ball round. It even happens three times.

Hitting such a return is as easy as a routine for the Chilean artilleryman.

"If you can resist the pressure of your opponent's forehand......" reminds me of the pressure my opponent put on me. Fan Ju still has lingering palpitations, but instead of being scared and worried, he is thinking about how to win the game.

was pressed by the opponent's forehand and feet on the baseline game, and only when he opened the third set with full speed, Fan Ju gained a trace of the ability to resist.

It was also a full set in which he was fully exposed to forehand bombardment, and Fan Ju made a successful comeback, and his quick reflexes allowed him to catch his opponent's weak backhand, suppress the blow, and even constantly use his ability to press on the net, forcing his opponent to run and make return errors.

But this effect did not last, and after a set of resistance, Fan Ju was beaten back to his original form again.

He thinks he has a very good foundation in the lower game, and he is also blessed with a good control of the spin, and if used correctly, it is not impossible to play a strong attack like his opponent.

"But I still don't care about being strong...... Fan Ju looked at the streamlined muscles of his arm, and then looked at the bulging calf-like muscles of Nadal beside him.

If Fan Ju had Federer's control, he could have used a lower tension racket to get back to his opponent's attack, but this is a talent limitation, which makes Fan Ju have more powerful arms and upper body strength to play attacks and counter-attacks that can match his opponents.

Nadal is working his lower legs, his lower body is already very powerful, and he used to use different exercises than Fan Ju, but the weighted squat is also effective in working the same leg area.

The only difference is that the load of weighted squats is greater and more likely to be injured, even if Fan Ju has performed some weighted squats under the recommendation of the coach, he will not use too much weight, and rely more on weight-bearing horse steps, adding weight to the upper body and increasing the pressure on the legs.

It can not only exercise the leg muscles, but also improve the stability of the core muscles of the upper body, maintain a stronger stability when hitting the ball, and ensure the power of the return ball.

These exercises are just a preparation for the final upper limb muscle workout, which is what really affects technique and overall performance.

"This time, you won a small game, and you advanced to the fourth round." Fan Ju sat on the chair to rest, sweat and heat emitted in the air, and he didn't need to look to know that the two of them had a very intense physical training.

Nadal was a little unhappy, he felt that he had lost a little unjustly, not that he was too weak, but that Juan Carlos Ferrero was too strong!

The current world top 3 player, Nadal's predecessor in Spain, is also a clay type, and the immature Nadal is not much better in front of Ferrero than Fan Ju in front of Gonzalez.

Ferrero is the "king" of Spain, of course, not that this player is the Spanish royal family, but this elegant demeanor and superb football skills led the Spaniards to win the Davis Cup, which has not been won in a century, and has been respected and loved by fans.

Like Nadal, Ferrero is a representative of a defensive style of play on clay, but unlike Nadal's topspin shots on counter-attack, Ferrero's style of play is more aggressive, which also gives him an excellent performance on hard courts other than clay.

“…… I'm going to win it back, even if it's Ferrero, I'm going to win it back. "Nadal is very unconvinced, he never thinks he should give up and throw in the towel, especially on clay, he doesn't think he should or have to lose to anyone.

"yes, we'll win it back later!" Fan Ju replied to the little stubborn cow with a smile, as if he was confirming with himself.

Fan Ju and Nadal have long since left France, but that doesn't mean their schedules are over, as the French Open and Wimbledon are like twins, one is over and the other is over.

Wimbledon kicks off on June 23, and Nadal, who has already qualified within the top 100 in the world rankings, will certainly not be absent.

As a player who reached the fourth round of the French Open, Nadal's strength on clay has entered the world's top 20 players, and his second consecutive Grand Slam is also attracting attention.

It's just a Grand Slam where Nadal has shown his extraordinary talent, and lost? Then it also depends on who you lose to, lose to the current French Open champion? Does that mean that with another opponent, Nadal has the potential to go further?

The stars shine! If Fan Ju's previous table is just a dark horse, then Nadal is a shining star at the French Open, and Spain is even more celebrating, not only the king who can lead Spain to win the Davis Cup that has not been won in a century, but also Nadal, an angelic prince with unlimited potential.

The Spaniards have even drawn up a beautiful blueprint, first Ferrero Shun Lì to the top, allowing the Spaniard to stand on the top of the world, and then a few years later, Nadal, who is six years younger, will take over the throne perfectly.

Like a dreamlike picture, the next era of tennis will be the era of Spanish rule, and the beauty is unimaginable.

But before we do that, let's think about what to do with Wimbledon, right?

Fan Ju is a pragmatist, and he certainly knows that the Spaniard's ambitions are difficult to achieve, and Nadal may have a chance to climb to the top in the future, but Ferrero? Even if he takes advantage of this chaotic era to ascend to the throne, I am afraid that he will not stay long under the pursuit of Federer behind him.

Although his performance is not bad, although he was eliminated in the third round of the French Open, he has already broken China's record in the Grand Slam, in fact, Fan Ju has already run the record if he can enter the main draw of the French Open, but no one cares about this record abroad, but IMG has made good use of this concept in China and used the resources in his hands to hype it up.

In the third round of the French Open, a different concept can also be changed, the top 32 players in the world in the top 32 of the Grand Slam, although some of the concept of clay courts have been removed, this name does sound very good, at least it can bluff many ordinary people who don't know much about tennis.

The results of the third round of the French Open brought Fan Ju a whopping $40,820 in prize money, making Fan Ju's total career prize money climb from more than 20,000 yuan to $66,675 at once.

This has almost tripled his total professional prize money, and now at the halfway point of the season, he has reached 349 ATP professional points and climbed to 114th in the world rankings.

With Fan Ju about to embark on his tour journey, it's hard to predict where he will be when the year ends. Whether it will progress to the top 50 or be frustrated after entering the tour, hovering within the top 100 is still unknown.

"You're really not going to play in the Queen's Cup?" Fan Ju looked at Nadal with some suspicion, this is a bellwether for Wimbledon, and it is also a good opportunity to familiarize yourself with the field and find the feeling of playing on grass. (To be continued......)
