Chapter 400: Focus on Your Opponent
Without Federer, does he have any opponents? Fan Ju asked himself, but the answer was hard to say, in terms of technique or normal play, Fan Ju seemed to have stood at the top,
But in reality? Whoever breaks out in case of a break out may not be impossible, if you really want to meet an opponent who has a burst of hands and can make all the balls into a winning goal, even if Fan Ju is full of horsepower, he can only bow down.
Of course, it is estimated that the tennis world can have this level of estimation, or play this level in the Olympics, it is really the right time and place, and we can collide together.
It's like encountering a model in a state of double speed all the time, of course, this may be almost impossible.
Even if he can really play to the limit, Fan Ju will not be without the ability to fight back, in the final analysis, he has to look at the performance on the court, just like doubles, Fan Ju can only count on Zeng Shaodizzy behind him.
"Hold on a little longer...... I'll see if I can get through their backline. Fan Ju's face was calm, but he was a little anxious in his heart.
The predictions given by the IMG team are not nonsense, and the combination of Fan Ju and Zeng Shaohui will meet a strong opponent in the second round, and it may also be the last match of the doubles at this Olympic Games.
The two doubles pairs from Zimbabwe, seeded fourth, and worst of all, the pair played against Fan Ju and Nadal.
The same formation, the same changes, but with the change of doubles partners, the intensity and strength have become completely different.
Fan Ju in front of the net is still intimidating, but doubles is not a sport that can be decided by one person, and the Zimbabwean pair have no intention of giving Fan Ju a chance to control the ball and bypass the net with precision. is not between the gaps in the cooperation, or facing Zeng Shaodashi behind him.
"It's still not stable enough. The vulnerability is too obvious. Fan Ju remembered Nadal at this time, that kid didn't look at the net in front of the net. However, on the bottom line, it is first-class strong, and when it seizes offensive opportunities, it is not weaker than in front of the net, and the tactics and playing style are more intelligent and strong, often allowing the opponent to attack in a more dangerous way, thus losing the offensive target.
But Zeng Shaodigo couldn't do this, Fan Ju could only try his own interception range method as much as possible, and at the same time spend more body to chase the ball in front of the net.
It took more body lĂŹ and double the speed. The result was barely supported, which really made Fan Ju feel helpless, and Zeng Shaodi, who was the target of the attack, was even more sorry, as if the failure of this ball was all because of his relationship.
"It's a game to win, a win or a loss doesn't matter, we're all young, and we'll do it again in four years. And that's not all. "Zeng Shao is not more than 23, he is even less than 20, for them, there are indeed a lot of opportunities.
The doubles match is over. The applause of the audience was left to the opponent, and Fan Ju left the scene with Zeng Shaodi, leaving a lot of regrets.
"The doubles are over. Then it's time for me to fight. Zeng Shaoxuan has already finished his mission, but Fan Ju has just begun.
Doubles was eliminated. It was not only Zeng Shaodigo who was disappointed, but also the rest of the Olympic tennis team. They were expecting another medal in doubles, but now it seems that it is a bit too extravagant.
"Xiao Fan, don't care, after all, there are many differences between men's competitions and women's, female players cooperate well, and their results are easy to rise, and men's players pay more attention to technique and strength, and you are not to blame if you lose." The coaching staff saw it very thoroughly, and of course the reason why they were not completely disappointed was not the singles of the dinner, but the tennis team's breakthrough.
There is a way that the east is not bright and the west is bright, Fan Ju and Zeng Shaoxuan were eliminated, so that the men's doubles were wiped out, but the women's doubles side came with surprising good news.
Li Ting and Sun Tiantian defeated the Italian pair again and advanced to the third round, while Zheng Jie and Yan Zi defeated the No. 6 seed and reached the third round at the same time.
These two pairs can be said to have broken the record of Chinese women's tennis in the Olympics in the past, and there were two Chinese women's teams in the quarterfinals, which is a feat that no country can do!
As long as one of the two pairs wins one more round, it means that they can at least fight for the bronze medal, and if they can advance again, it even means that they can not only win the bronze medal, but even fight for the gold medal, which is an unprecedented height.
"It's amazing, I didn't expect it to really soar into the sky!" Fan Ju couldn't help but sigh, this is not polite, from a weak tennis country to a strong country in one fell swoop, it is not as simple as a certain player being strong.
Fan Ju only represents his personal strength, but the combination of two teams of women's athletes who can make it to the quarterfinals of the Olympics is definitely enough to represent something.
At this time, Fan Ju remembered the former women's volleyball team and the current director of the network management center.
Fan Ju sincerely congratulated the two teams of female players on their good results, but did not agree with the intensive training that attributed part of the credit to Fan Ju's selfless help.
Training is useful, but it is not decisive, and without the corresponding strength and technology, even the strongest training is not enough to achieve good results.
Just like those students in well-known online schools, many of them enjoy training that is not inferior to that of professional players, but in fact, there are very few players who can actually enter the profession and become tennis players professionally.
Players who give up training and slack off will be eliminated in waves, and in the end, only those who are extremely talented, persevering, and can pay for victory can pick the final fruits of victory.
"You're free this time, aren't you? It's so boring to be alone for both days. Yan Ximu complained to Fan Ju, in fact, when it comes to boredom, where can it compare to the days when he went to the United States to study, it was nothing more than taking the opportunity to be coquettish and let her boyfriend comfort herself.
Fan Ju smiled and took Yan Ximu's hand into the restaurant, and then he was indeed free, and playing the system of one day off and one day off was enough for him to free up enough time, not only to meet the basic training, but also to spend time with his girlfriend.
"It seems that losing also has the advantage of losing, playing a game for 2 hours, but having to wait for a day, is really not cost-effective." Fan Ju joked that if this could be won, he wasn't going to lose.
"Hmm...... Is it so coincidental that it's just in the middle of the game? Fan Ju was not in a fancy restaurant, but in a traditional Greek restaurant that looked like a bar, with a TV on the wall, showing the Olympic games, and the camera flashed by to see Federer's familiar figure.
It's nothing if he loses the doubles, but today is the time for the singles in the work division, and Federer's game started at 3:30 p.m., and Fan Ju came to the restaurant at 5 o'clock, and the match has not yet ended, which means that it has reached the third set!
"Thomas Berdych?" Fan Ju knows this player, not because he is famous, Berdych has just won his first tour title this year, and he can only be regarded as a newcomer in the world top 50.
In order to deal with Roddick, Fan Ju studied many players who used the serve and forehand as an offensive means, and Thomas Berdych was one of them.
Thomas Berdych, who is 196 cm tall, has long arms and a weight of nearly 89 kilograms, the overall condition is very good, the strength is enough and he can run fast, of course, the serve is far less strong than Roddick, but there is good development potential in the future.
Maybe Berdych will have the top strength to compete with Fan Ju in the future, but now in Fan Ju's opinion, the other party is not mature.
But to Fan Ju's surprise, the score on the screen was not like this.
6:4 Federer took the next set first, seemingly grabbing the offensive power of the game, but the second set was indeed broken by Berdych at a critical moment and played a 5:7 reversal.
It's hard to imagine what it was like at the time, but one thing is for sure, Federer must have had a very tough fight.
"Which of them do you think will win?" Yan Ximu has also watched a lot of tennis, Berdych can't recognize it, but Federer definitely does.
It's not just that she knows, at this time, many customers in the restaurant who were originally watching tennis suddenly found a pair of Asian faces in the corner, and one of them looked familiar to him.
Fan Ju saw some guests who looked at him with surprised faces, knowing that he must be recognized, but anyone who sees an Asian staring at a screen will always start to be curious.
Nodding his head, he remembered to answer Yan Ximu's question, but after thinking about it, he shook his head again, because he really couldn't give a close to correct answer.
"I'd love to see Federer win, because I don't want to see an opponent who can fight me fall in the second round, but with his current form, I can't guarantee that he will advance." Even if it is a 50% chance, it has become the most difficult ending to guess.
Federer was eliminated, which may become the most favorable outcome for Fan Ju, of course, there is no shortage of strong players in the work division, and Federer may be replaced by Roddick or other opponents.
Although this Olympics attracted many high-ranking players to participate, the upset was no less than the usual Grand Slam, Henman, Ferrero, Schutler, and the top players fell one after another, which made the championship race a layer of fog.
Fan Ju is considered to be one of the more normal, but Federer in front of him is already struggling, the delicious meal in front of him, but it does not arouse Fan Ju's appetite, and his eyes look at the TV screen from time to time waiting for the final ending.
Yan Ximu knew what her boyfriend was worried about, so she rarely didn't bother Fan Ju, and looked at the screen together, and at the same time found that more and more guests were looking at their dining table and their boyfriend. (To be continued......)
