Chapter 176: Open the door and meet a strong enemy

France is located near the Mediterranean Sea, and although Paris has escaped the influence of the Mediterranean climate, the continent that surrounds the sea makes the climate change in May and June not drastic.

The sea is an excellent temperature regulator, and since arriving in Paris, Fan Ju has been very happy with the temperature outside, which is perfect for sports and exercise, whether it is in the morning or in the middle of the night.

Except for a little rain and some trouble, Fan Ju's training was maintained until the beginning of the French Open, there was no competition for two weeks, but it did not affect the feeling of Fan Ju's swing of the racket, and players from IMG and the same company also participated in the French Open, and it was easy for Fan Ju to find a partner to practice.

In addition, the continuous commercial exhibition matches, in addition to giving him extra lucrative income, can also get more competitive opportunities to fight, so that he can better adapt to his changing body and gradually master the rhythm.

It's not so much a worry about the schedule as it is a calm acceptance.

Wild card players are not good, or the Grand Slam tournament is full of competition from the first round.

The 128 players, in addition to the 16 qualified players and 8 wild card players, and the entire 104 world-ranked professional experts, will make an appearance in this grand event.

In addition to accidental injuries and other reasons for retirement, last year's top 30 players in the world rankings were required to participate in the tournament compulsorily.

The list of the next main competition is arranged in descending order of registration, usually the list of 104 people in the main competition, and the list of those who can enter the main competition can reach 140, which means that less than 30 of these masters are unable to participate for other reasons.

"This luck. It's not lucky. "Fan Ju had long expected that he might encounter a strong opponent in the first round, but in terms of ranking, this enemy seems to be a little too strong, right?

Dutchman Xiang. Scharken. '02 was the player's strongest moment at the Grand Slam table, with the quarterfinals at Wimbledon and the semifinals at the US Open, which almost surpassed the impact of his past tournament victories.

However, the media did not react much to the player's outburst, after all, Schalken is 26 years old, and in the previous season, he only maintained a tour record of one year and one championship.

Very good. But there is no sign of an outbreak, and although the ranking is gradually rising, there is no possibility of breaking through the ultimate limit.

Top 11 highest world rankings. This is Schalken's best result right now, and just a few weeks ago, Schalken maintained his all-time highest ranking.

However, before the start of this year's French Open, the player has some points expired. This made him drop slightly by one place. That's why Fan Ju can meet this strong player, who is ranked No. 12 seed.

"The Grand Slam is really different from ordinary tournaments, there are 32 seeded players, and none of them are easy to deal with." Fan Ju was very unhappy, and finally got a wild card to participate in the competition, and he may face the end of being eliminated in the first round, which made Fan Ju feel very unhappy.

In front of Nadal. Fan Ju didn't express his helplessness, or he knew it very well. Nadal is not much easier than himself.

"Fan Ju don't worry, the French Open can't work and Wimbledon, I think your serve to the net will have a better effect at Wimbledon." Rembrandt had been acting as a newcomer's agent, and he was familiar with such situations.

IMG has long been prepared for the future, regardless of Fan Ju's results in the French Open, the company will do its best to package and build Fan Ju's image, a new round of momentum has been prepared in China, no matter what, Fan Ju will be known to the whole country in the next few years.

"It's not like I didn't have a chance to win, the opponent was a tall player on hard courts, but he didn't have a movement advantage on clay, it was just the first time he faced a high-ranked opponent, and he was a little ...... Some..."

"It's nervous, isn't it? I'll never be nervous when you're still there! It seems that you are just an ordinary person! Hahaha! Rembrandt was very happy to see Fan Ju's hesitation, as if he had won some kind of jackpot.

This damn fat man...... Fan Ju scolded in his heart, but he somewhat understood his feelings, he was actually not worried about the game, the characteristics and skills of the opponent were completely analyzed by the IMG assistant, and he himself knew the style of play he should maintain on the field.

But why are you still so hesitant? Perhaps the nervousness and anxiety that comes from facing a high-ranking opponent for the first time is the real reason.

"I know Agassi, I've seen him talk a lot, and when I ask him if you're still nervous when you're in a Grand Slam final, you know how he answers?" Rembrandt finished laughing, but told the story.

Fan Ju shook his head, Agassi, although he is not a king like Sampras, but the results of the Golden Slam alone are not inferior in this era, and he is also a contracted player of IMG, Rembrandt is not surprised to know Agassi, and even Fan Ju has seen Agassi a few times when he went to the online school.

"Of course I'm nervous, I get nervous before every fight, but I like that feeling because he allows me to find that feeling before I go on the pitch, that feeling of being good after beating my opponent!" Rembrandt seemed to want to learn to speak, but he didn't look like he had a talent for acting.

Fan Ju nodded, and then shook his head again, the big fat man loves to brag, what kind of character is Agassi? Even if the prodigal son turns back from bohemian to now, Agassi is still the same him, and you sue Sù Fan Ju Agassi will admit to being nervous before every game?

"It's a good joke, and I think it's very helpful, but when I see Agassi that day, I'll ask you when he said these things, and maybe you can make up some quotes, like "Rembrandt's Braggadocio or something?"

Looking at Rembrandt's depressed expression, Fan Ju laughed, tomorrow the game is about to start, he doesn't have time to be nervous and hesitate, all he wants is victory!

As the night passed, Fan Ju was greeted by a sunny morning, the rain had rained in the two weeks leading up to the race, and the morning radio showed that the weather in Paris would be sunny for the next seven days.

It's nice to have a nice start, after all, the French Open is not just about 128 players, 128 men, 128 women, 256 men's and women's doubles, and 64 mixed doubles, and these matches will be decided in two weeks, and the first week can be arguably the busiest and most in need of good weather.

Fan Ju's schedule and goals are very focused, the French Open men's singles and other doubles are not considered, and he does not distract himself from the more prize money like some players.

"Lost? Ay...... I don't know what the girl will have to cry when she goes back. Fan Ju was very helpless when he heard the news, but there was no way to compete so cruelly.

Sharapova lost, her first round had already started two hours early, and after three rounds of qualifying, Sharapova was very tired.

Even if she didn't say it, Fan Ju could see some eyebrows from her last match.

The last qualifying match was also Sharapova's only three-set match with her opponent, the first set of the tie-break, the second set was reversed by the opponent 7:5, and finally won the game with a score of 8:6.

The same form didn't improve in the first round, and although the 36th-ranked opponent was no match for her to beat that division.

But Sharapova lost and was won by her opponent in straight sets, and Fan Ju imagined that Sharapova must be very unwilling now, and she looked angry alone.

"Don't worry, brother, I won't come to accompany you." Fan Ju did not see Sharapova, but Rembrandt brought him a note, which Fan Ju recognized as Sharapova's handwriting.

The paper clearly reads, "Gotta win the game, don't worry about me." After reading the handwriting, Fan Ju's heart became more and more calm, and there was no way back when he came to the arena, except for winning, Fan Ju didn't want to accept the second way to leave the arena!

"I want to win!" Stuffing the note into the compartment of the bag, Fan Ju once again cheered himself up, which was both a kind of self-encouragement and an absolute goal for himself.

……

"It's like a bamboo pole ......"

In the information, Fan Ju had seen his opponent, but when he actually met on the field, Fan Ju suddenly found that his opponent was even more "thin" than he expected.

The height of 192, which is 8 centimeters taller than Fan Ju, barely forms some advantages in height difference, but it is not absolute.

Among the opponents Fan Ju encountered, many of them rose higher than Schalken, such as Soderling in 193 and Christopher Verlegan in 193.

Soderling gave him the impression that he was strong, and the Swede had a very Nordic build, with a wide skeleton and strong muscles, and a strong forehand flat sweep, and Fan Ju had only learned a 7 or 8 points so far.

To say that he is also thin, Christophe is somewhat similar to the Schalken in front of Fan Ju, but Christopher is only 78 kilograms, and Schalken is 4 kilograms heavier than Christopher.

But he looked thinner than Christopher, like a bamboo pole stuck in the ground, skinny and stiff, and it was hard to imagine what he looked like when he moved nimbly on the court.

"If that's the case, I should probably change my pace a little more." Fan Ju touched his chin and began to think in a daze again, his eyes just looked at his opponent, and even the preparations that were still going on just now stopped.

No matter how sluggish Xiang Scharken was, he found the sight from Fan Ju, and suddenly felt bad in his heart, he was from the Netherlands, that sexually open Europe, if France and Italy are the countries of waves, then the Netherlands is the country of individuality.

"This guy doesn't want to me, does he?" Schalken suddenly felt that the gap was not good, and decided that he must not have too much contact with his opponent after the match. (To be continued......)
