Federer only accounted for three of the nine breaks in the match, and his opponent surpassed him by a full half, even in terms of the rhythm of the game, Federer was not completely suppressed except for the second set, but he still lost the match.

Shocked? Fan Ju felt a tremor from his heart, even if he lost, he could already feel the strength of his opponent.

And this kind of Federer is not even the strongest state, which is what shocked Fan Ju.

Technically, Federer does not use traditional clay techniques on clay, and from some of the techniques that take the initiative to rush forward and seek short diagonal backshots, Fan Ju can see that Federer is more interested in fast pace and speed on clay.

I want to suppress the traditional clay style of play, and even go beyond the limitations of the venue and play my strongest strength.

However, such an idea is beautiful, but after all, it is still not mature enough, and like Fan Ju, Federer's style of play is very active, and there are also many sudden changes.

The difference is that the change in style is achieved by super high reflexes, but Federer is achieved by relying on an extraordinary sense of ball and space.

The reverse diagonal line in the run, the natural backward step to give way to the sudden counterattack of the forehand position, Federer's hitting made Fan Ju see a kind of artistic elegance, when his technique is more perfect, the strength is stronger, Fan Ju believes that at that time, this opponent will become very difficult, and it is also very exciting!

"Next up is the French Open."

No amount of small tournament titles can be as big as the impact of a Grand Slam, for professional tennis players. Winning a Grand Slam title is proof of reaching the pinnacle of your career, and the only way to win the title of King of the Ball is not to win the Olympics or the Masters. It's about having enough Grand Slam titles!

Dominance, Fan Ju saw Federer's dominance on the field, even if he loses the game, that dominance is still his goal, if he wants to become stronger, he must play more games, and if he wants to be strong, he can't be afraid of losing.

"The race has just begun...... Fan Ju sighed as he returns to bed and rests as he will fly to Europe again in two days. The long flight and troublesome jet lag will make it another difficult journey.

New era. This is an era that has been in the past, everyone is learning techniques and finding new ways to play, and there is no eternal king in this era. The top position can be replaced by another player at any time.

The only way to become the strongest is to keep getting stronger. Widen the gap with other players, take the lead in finding the technological gap across the times, and let the latecomers learn to imitate themselves, but it is always difficult to surpass themselves.

Federer and Nadal ...... These are two of the most promising templates that Fan Ju knows, and both are clearly on the right track.

Perhaps the only difference is that Nadal's direction is more towards the slow courts on clay, while Federer is the future dominance of grass and hard courts.

What is your position? Fan Ju didn't know, he only knew that he could only keep getting stronger. It wasn't until he was able to compete in the ring between the two at their peak that he was qualified to think about it.

"Roland Garros, I'm here!"

……

Luxurious but not frivolous restaurant. Fan Ju leisurely held a knife and fork, dealing with the delicious toon chicken in front of him, and thought back to the main dish he ate yesterday, the roasted snails, and found that the meat was more suitable for him.

Rembrandt, who was on the other side, was not idle while eating, and continued his crooked conversation between meals, while Fan Ju didn't disturb his rare meal as long as the other party didn't spit, and the rest didn't care at all.

"You wayward boy, you know? As long as you win another Challenger tournament, we're sure we'll be able to qualify for the French Open, but now we're using a precious wild card, do you know how much work it took me to get it? Rembrandt didn't care about showing off his exploits, as if he had relied on him to get his wild card.

Fan Ju raised his eyes but didn't speak, this big fat man bragged about it, he knew that this wild card was not as troublesome as Rembrandt said.

Last time, because of the "injury" he received in France, Fan Ju left an extremely bad impression on the country, although this is just a matter of sports media, but without the help of others behind the tennis world, Fan Ju will never believe that it will cause the kind of Cheng Dù that must be resolved in court.

Although the French were arrogant, they also knew that they were at a loss, and two days after Fan Ju arrived in Paris, the French took the initiative to send someone to apologize to Fan Ju in private.

"On behalf of the French Tennis Federation, I would like to apologize for the injustice you received in France last time, and we would like to invite you to register for the French Open and wish you the best results at Roland Garros." The representative of France said very sincerely, although the content is based on the feeling of bowing his head and apologizing, but in fact, this is already the greatest sincerity that the arrogant rooster can express.

He believed that IMG would definitely help him get it, but the Frenchman took the initiative to apologize, which almost made Fan Ju confused again.

But fortunately, Fan Ju is not alone, he has a huge IMG agency behind him, and there are many people who know this industry very well to guide him.

Honoret, of course, the Frenchman knows the French best, and before Rembrandt arrived, Honoret arrived at the airport first to greet Fanju.

After following Fan Ju for a while, and then receiving a formal appointment at headquarters, the declining journalist has been officially hired by IMG as head of media in France.

Compared with the original assistant title, I don't know how many levels I have promoted, of course, the treatment has also risen, and after the fine dress, I have regained the momentum of the high-spirited "name" of the year.

Of course, Honorie's treatment is not only based on his initiative to "defect" to IMG, but more because Honori is indeed a very capable media person.

It has only been less than a month since he left Fan Ju, and he has already relied on his connections and knowledge of the local French media to carry out several very efficient promotions for other players under IMG, showing his outstanding ability.

"They don't want you to refuse to play in France from now on, and if you do get a high ranking in the future, and you refuse to participate in the French Open because of the events of that year, how passive will this be for the French Tennis Association?

Solving this with just a wild card now is much more cost-effective than in the future. According to her own understanding and some internal information, Honoret comprehensively analyzed the reason and explained the reason.

Of course, he didn't tell him that since the Open era, the French had only left the French Open title on home soil once in '83, and the rest of the time the trophy was almost none for the French, so there was no need to dwell on a wild card.

8 wild cards, 6 French players, and the other two wild cards, except for the one given to Zhang Depei, the youngest French Open champion in history, cannot be misappropriated, and the remaining one cannot be found by anyone else.

As far as he knows, the most favourable contender at the moment is an Australian player, but compared to the current momentum, the tournament organizing committee does not have to think about how to choose.

did not expose Rembrandt's boasting, anyway, the big fat man is so virtuous, and it is already very face-saving to be able to come to France to help him deal with "chores", although most of the work is handed over to administrative assistants, but with Rembrandt's presence, many decisions can be handled directly, and there is no need to report to the United States again, which saves a lot of trouble.

After eating, Fan Ju can't be idle, the state adjustment is almost, and his muscle training has also begun to continue, don't look at the joy of eating food now, in fact, he can eat a little extra every day, most of the time, he still needs to eat according to the dietitian's recipe, and even how many seconds the beef and vegetables are heated is very particular.

Fan Ju is not busy with these things now, he looked at his watch and found that the time was a little tight, and he was going to be late again this time, and he didn't know how to be rammed by Sharapova's girl.

"Hey! Do you know the speed at which Rembrandt eats, and he can swallow a non-score in 3 bites in one bite, so there should still be time for the game, right? Do you want me to warm you up? Fan Ju pretended to be attentive, but he knew that at this time, let alone a warm-up, it was estimated that it would be time to enter the game in a few minutes.

Looking at Sharapova's angry appearance, Fan Juting wanted to say that I wouldn't be late if you played hard, but Fan Ju had additional "business activities" in addition to training, and this time the meal was not bad, who knew that the schedule that day would collide with Sharapova's game?

The men's and women's French Open are kicking off at the same time, and the upcoming main draw is also making the tennis atmosphere in Paris more and more intense, and at this time, there are many tennis-related friendly matches, exhibition matches, and even meet-and-greet press conferences.

Fan Ju adjusted his state, but he didn't know how many activities he participated in under Rembrandt's arrangement, he knew a rough idea at first, but in the later stage, he didn't bother to care about these untidy and messy activity arrangements.

Well, Rembrandt knew that Fan Ju needed time to train, so the activities seemed like a lot, but in fact he had enough time for training and rest.

But there are some things that I may not be able to take care of, such as Sharapova's qualifying match, he has missed the last game, although this one has caught up, but who knows what the next game will be?

Of the 16 qualifying places, theoretically only 3 matches are needed to qualify for the main tournament, but these 16 places are not easy to compete for, even if Sharapova has the strength, there will be times when the horse will miss the front foot.

On clay courts, combined with Sharapova's age, a mistake in any one match could lead to her being eliminated.

However, Sharapova is Sharapova after all, and Fan Ju vaguely remembers her name, which makes Fan Ju full of confidence in Sharapova, even if she fails for the time being now, she will definitely be able to make a difference in the future. (To be continued......)
