At the beginning of the match, Fan Ju and Nadal had less contact, not because they were afraid of what impact it would have on each other's matches, and neither of them was that sinister character.

Fan Ju is too much in the limelight because of the prohibition of drugs, and it is just a matter of one person to bear this aspect, and it is not a good thing to cause an impact on others during the competition.

The reputation has not improved much, but it has to be frequently harassed by the media, which will definitely not be pleasant for the players in the competition, the media is both a help and a hindrance, but the stars who have been entangled by the media know one thing, and it is never a good thing to be targeted by them.

After the first round, Fanju's results didn't cause much of a stir, as a Challenger title had already been won, and an unseeded victory was a natural occurrence, but the second match against the seventh seed was seen as Fanju's first challenge on clay.

"Hello everyone, I'm Erin Field. Andrews, Fan Ju from China and Italian player Andaria are about to start, we will now interview Fan Ju's sideline coach...... "Erin did not become the host, but she still served as the on-site interview task, compared to those ordinary viewers, Erin was able to find relevant people like Raschet, and the information obtained was more convincing and credible.

Raschet looked into the microphone to analyze the situation of Fan Ju and his opponent, the Italian player is not a good player, despite the fact that his current ranking is now out of the top 100, but as a former top player in the ATP top 18 and has three singles and three doubles titles, the two are still full of endless possibilities.

"Just because he's past his peak doesn't mean you can underestimate him. The more such opponents there are, the more challenging it will be for the rising youngsters, who will test your skills in all aspects with their experience. If there is a loophole, you will be caught and beaten to the end! Raschet's serious analysis worried the audience in front of the television. Can Fan Ju win this game? Will you lose if you can't stand the test?

The match on the court has begun to warm up, Fan Ju did not draw the opportunity to serve first, but this time he is not worried, the opponent is not an opponent with strong service strength, the "veteran" has lost the ability to rely on his body to win and lose in the match.

If the athlete's form is lost, it can grow much more than quickly, and last year's Andaria was able to play as many as 32 events in a year, which is obviously not normal compared to the average player's 22-28 matches.

This figure is very deceptive, but if you analyze it deeply, you can draw a conclusion. The opponents are no longer strong enough to support his points rankings, and it is already difficult for him to maintain his position high in the rankings with a big victory other than to fill the void by playing more tournaments.

In '01, the opponent was still able to win a tour title on clay, but don't forget that he was only 28 years old at that time, which is the peak age and the best age, but at this age he still failed to return to the world top 18 ranking he reached at the age of 23, which shows how much injuries at a young age affected him, and it can be said that he directly ruined a world top 10 clay player.

"Don't underestimate it, you have to be careful. The opponent's clay technique is very good, even stronger than yours. Raschet's last reminder to Fan Ju before he came on the field, Fan Ju also kept this in mind.

Clay is the standard slow court, not that the serve and return are slow. It's that when the ball hits the ground, the deceleration at that moment will be stronger than on fast courts such as hard courts and grass.

This is good for Fan Ju, but it is also not good news. Fanju's technical characteristics are well suited to clay, and the high spin ball allows for greater angles and heights after bounce. But equally, his backcourt topspin is limited by clay. The opponent's receiving height will indeed be uncomfortable, but at the same time, the lack of speed suppression makes Fan Ju's powerful weapon compromised.

Andaria is a veteran player, he saw Fan Ju and felt that this young man was not easy to deal with, this feeling did not come from the media's praise of Fan Ju, but the feeling after the bounce when the ball was returned to him, this opponent is not simple!

He is well aware that he has a height of 183 and a muscular weight of 84 kilograms, but this only allows him to play against young opponents without losing time, but in terms of speed and agility, he is not very good.

At the end of the warm-up, the referee announced the start of the match, Andaria slapped the ball, he felt Fan Ju's gaze staring at him, very quiet but sharp, no swaying and jumping, only unusually silently waiting.

The swing may give the player extra power to start, but Fan Ju prefers to wait for the opponent's serve without moving, so that he can better see his opponent's movements in the state of double speed, and hit the attention to make a beautiful comeback.

A high-cut arc, not fast and strong side spin, much like Fan Ju's crescent serve, but not so strong in spin, the arc drawn by the ball in the air is not large, but it is also very conspicuous.

The ball didn't seem to be a high-quality serve after the first time it landed and bounced off the sideline, but after it bounced again, the power of the side spin continued to exert its power, and the great friction on the red clay made the angle of the bounce bigger and more tricky.

When Fan Ju caught the ball, the paddle had reached the area half a meter outside the doubles boundary, and the blow seemed to be unpleasant, only 170 kilometers away, but the effect was very good.

Can receive but uncomfortable, every player who can stand in the high ranking has his own "stunt", serving is not Andaria's forte, but Fan Ju feels that it is not much worse than those high-level professional players.

An ordinary return shot, Andaria did not rush to attack, and glanced at the position of Fan Ju's return, and a forehand cut hit the ball to the position of Fan Ju's backhand.

"It's not a ball!" Fan Ju saw the cutting and thought that the opponent wanted to put the ball in front of the net, but the power of the return ball made him judge that the ball was coming from the wrong way in an instant.

The power is very large, just like the power downspin in table tennis, this is not a passive defense, Fan Ju came to the point where the ball landed, and the cut had already begun to fall.

"It's so low!" Unlike the high bounce of the topspin, the downspin ball is more troublesome on the red clay, and the reverse spin allows the speed of the ball to be canceled out by the ground in an instant after landing.

It's as if someone gave the ball a sudden slam on the brakes, and the spin weakened after bounce, but the bounce and direction were also greatly changed!

Andaria's position is very clever, Fan Ju needs to run from the corner to get in time to land, this is the most easy moment to make a mistake in the process of returning the ball, the ball that suddenly stops flying upwards has a very limited bounce height, but the ball still flies forward, Fan Ju must seize the time point of just a few tenths of a second to hit the ball back, and not be caught by the opponent.

The ball was very low, and it was very difficult to hit the ball from the bottom, which reminded Fan Ju of his way of playing against those tall players, he didn't have to bend his knees, but he also couldn't get up straight, and the incomplete force made this back less threatening.

The "15:0" one-hit cut was followed by a quick flat shot, and the combination between the two balls was not too exciting, but the opponent very skillfully grasped the position of Fan Ju to return the ball, and completed the action of pulling the shot early.

It's another big bevel, a big bevel that Fan Ju hates, but this big bevel doesn't have a bit of luck, the opponent is very sufficient, and the landing point control is also very accurate, completely grasping his own service advantage, it can also be said that Fan Ju was completely caught by the other party.

Most of the spectators on the field are Italians, and Fan Ju has not been able to compete with local players in recent times, scoring after a beautiful serve, which made the stands applaud, and some people whistled without scruples, making Fan Ju's mood even worse.

"It seems that it is really a little bit worse, experience! Sure enough, it's still inexperienced! Fan Ju was not disappointed because of the goal, because he had not yet used his real "strength", and he did not use double speed when he received the serve, in order to feel how much difference the opponent's experience was with himself.

It was only the first goal, but the result was obvious, and without too much probing, Fan Ju already felt that his opponent was more mature than himself on clay.

If you change the paradigm, I am afraid that the first ball just now will choose to quickly exert force to attack the opponent's dead corner, and strive to make the opponent's return ball directly under the net to suppress it.

However, Andaria showed another style, quickly switching combinations according to the situation of the hair extension, one cutting and one flat shot, which made Fan Ju lose a point.

The results may be the same, but the idea and technique of playing on clay are very different, with Fan Ju being more like a hard-court player on clay, while Andaria is a tactical and versatile player.

Andaria continued to serve, but Fan Ju still didn't use the speed ability, and his insistence was not nonsense.

Now he is too inexperienced to play against masters on clay, yesterday's Argentine opponent's skills are too far behind himself, he can't even break his ordinary fast baseline suppression, his attack is not strong, and his tactics lack change, which makes him very dissatisfied.

"Before meeting Nadal, you have to at least perfect your clay skills." The two training sessions made Fan Ju feel a hint of threat, Nadal is strong, especially on clay, and he may be able to suppress him on hard courts, but he has no confidence on clay.

He understood why the opponent was able to insist so much, Nadal on clay was not the same person at all on hard court, Nadal's downspin in the sparring was stronger than the Andaria stagnation in front of him, and the downspin that went around the post with strong sidespin made Fan Ju unforgettable, he felt that his advantage on clay was not as big as he imagined, he wanted to become stronger, and at the moment of the final meeting, he became stronger!

PS: 3 consecutive shots on the first day, is there a prelude to the outbreak!
