The Olympics also have ATP points, and although they didn't get it again the following year, they had a big impact on the rankings that year.

400 points is not as good as a Masters title, but if you add the weight of the quadrennial and Olympic gold medals and the corresponding fame, it is enough to attract players.

In fact, before 2000, there were no points for the Olympic competition, and because there were no prize money, it was difficult to attract top athletes to the event.

For the average player, the Golden Slam is not as affordable as the $100,000 prize, and there is a lack of competition and attention, and the agency will not recommend the player to participate in this thankless tournament.

The year 2000 was unsuccessful, but that doesn't mean that Athens won't either, and the active participation of Federer and Fan Ju made the Olympic Games weigh in all of a sudden.

The delicate gap in points makes one wonder if Fan Ju can compete for the world number one again, and whether Federer can maintain his ranking and make tennis stand out from the crowd and become one of the top few in the spotlight.

"Don't be nervous, I don't want our opponents to have tens of thousands more."

The arena was full of spectators, and Fan Ju found that Zeng Shaodi, who was on the side, was a little nervous, and made a kind joke to guide him to relax and concentrate more on the game.

Slow Lang is easy to play, but Fan Ju doesn't want to play two at a time, Moya's top strength goes without saying, even if Nadal only recovers from injury, he is not good at stubble.

If you want to win, you have to play more strategically, Fan Ju is very familiar with the style of the two, and at the same time, he has also decided to solve the game in front of the net. will be the best solution.

When the two sides warmed up with each other, the delegation also paid attention to the game. Or rather, they are paying attention to Fan Ju's table at this time.

Fan Ju tournaments, including doubles. The professional opinions are all handled by their own team, and even IMG has invested relative resources to conduct relative analysis.

The results seem clear, singles, Fan Ju has a very high hope of winning the title, although if his opponent Federer can show a little inferiority, Fan Ju's chances will rise to more than 60%.

Doubles, not to say frustrating words, entered the third round. It was already the best table, and the third round also had a huge problem, which was the loss of the chance to win the final medal.

If they reach the fourth round, they will have a chance to win the bronze medal, but even if they can do so, the analysis team and even the Chinese delegation will not agree.

"If you want a gold medal, or a bronze medal and a silver medal, you don't have to choose at all." on the Olympic rankings. The gold medal is the most important medal, even if the total number of medals is not comparable to the opponent, and there are more gold medals than others, you can still stand in front of others on the medal leaderboard.

Friendship first, competition second. But achievements are the only thing, and like the truth from ancient times to the present day, people do not remember the losers. Only the victors are qualified to write history.

The gold medal is the symbol of an Olympic victory, so it doesn't matter who it is. can calculate this account clearly.

"If I can, I won't give up. I don't hesitate when I can't. Fan Ju knew very well what his choice meant, and he gave up on Cincintina, which was also the preparation for this moment.

"Don't hit Nadal's backhand in the back, this guy's backhand is more powerful than his forehand." Fan Ju had to keep reminding him that he was much more familiar with these two people than Zeng Shaoda.

Moya is the kind of player who is meticulous but lacks explosiveness, and neither is a doubles type of player, while Fan Ju had already judged the formation they would use before the match.

"Sure enough, it's a double-bottom line based play, if they really dare to go online, I really want to play with them!" The technology restricts the opponent and also limits Fan Ju, but relatively speaking, Fan Ju has more options because of him as an interceptor in front of the net.

The same Fan Ju's tactical position has long been judged by the opponent, when Fan Ju serves or receives in the back, it will be more of a double front court, while Fan Ju does not receive and serve, most of them are the Australian formation of one front and one behind.

In short, Fan Ju, a big weapon, will definitely stick to the net, causing great pressure on his opponent, and the best defensive position in the backcourt will also be guarded by the opponent.

Zeng Shaoxuan doesn't even need to attack, he just needs to send the ball back to the opponent's half again and again is a victory, and the opponent who exceeds his strength, simply going to play a strong attack, not only can not help him win, but also will contain Fan Ju's play on a certain period of time, so that the opponent can succeed.

"Therefore, our main target is the front court or the front of the net, and the opponent will definitely continue to attack your backcourt, and put the ball at every opportunity, don't be afraid of mistakes." Fan Ju's eyes lit up, as if the result of the game was under his control.

……

"What are we going to do? Is it to dodge Fan Ju to attack? "Nadal is a little weak-hearted, and it is because he understands that he knows what kind of disadvantage he is in.

Moya is experienced, but except for the doubles championship in the junior competition, after entering the professional competition, his doubles results have always been more wins and losses, his technique is not adapted to the increasingly fast pace of modern tennis, without high speed and power, it is difficult to return to the peak of his career with Sydney accuracy alone.

"That's all I have to do, and if I have the opportunity to play a high ball from the back court, I don't think they will work as closely together as those perennial doubles combinations." Fan Ju's schedule is open and transparent, which also means that how many times he has been paired with Zeng Shaoxuan is almost open and verifiable.

A pair of doubles players needs to mature, not only in training, but also in enough matches to run in with the opponent's racket and the ever-changing attack.

At this point, it is almost 3 levels behind Zeng Shaodi, except for domestic and Asian peripheral events, there is no big opportunity at all, resulting in a situation where you can't bring it if you want to.

In the final analysis, the gap between the ranking strength of the two is too big, and they are not on the same level, so they will naturally not participate in the same type of competition, and it is difficult to form a close partner.

However, the same situation also appears in the combination of Moya and Nadal, of course, the situation of the two is a little different, not that they are not on the same level, but that the two are not doubles players at all.

Participating in the Olympics is only an "amateur" number, most of them are playing when they have the opportunity, like Nadal, who is ready to show his face and leave.

In contrast, the Fan Ju duo had a stronger desire to win, and Fan Ju was willing to take Zeng Shaodi to play a few more rounds.

"Let's get started!" Without words, the two made eye contact and returned to their positions on the field.

Compared with singles, the position of doubles is also more three-dimensional, unlike the baseline player, only longitudinal movement, doubles landing point changes will be more diverse, and the defensive areas of both sides need to be strictly regulated, so as not to cause overlapping leaks, or even low-level mistakes that collide with each other.

The biggest coordination problem faced by Fan Ju and Zeng Shaoxuan is how to maintain the scope and cooperation of their respective defense areas when they are double netting, and it will also become a big problem for Nadal and Moya to compete for the bottom line return.

Fan Ju took the lead in serving, and his usual high ball speed went straight into the outside corner of Nadal's backhand, and such a big outside corner serve may also be the only opportunity to use a strong backhand from the opponent.

Nadal didn't even have a chance to switch his hands for a wide range of short movements, but what is stronger than others is that for him, the right hand is also his forehand position, and the right forehand is not as strong as the left hand, but it is not a big problem to play a steady return ball.

"Good return!" The return ball in the backcourt was thrown high, directly bypassing Zeng Shaodi, who was guarding in front of the net, and went straight to Fan Ju, who seemed to have found the wrong target, but Fan Ju understood that the ball must have been played on purpose.

"But if you want to keep me in the backfield, it's not that simple!" The paddle meets the incoming ball, and the angle of leaning forward is a pinch of force, and before the ball hits the ground, it once again embarks on the journey to the sky.

Nadal and Moya, who were guarding the backfield, were stunned, they realized what Fan Ju was going to do, and they both rushed to the front, completely deviating from their tactical position, but if they didn't do this, I am afraid that the ball would really not be saved.

The ball floated high in the air, and the downspin on the ball seemed to slow down the speed of the ball's fall, and when Fan Ju and Moya stood face to face in front of the net, the ball had not yet landed to the point where they could swing the racket.

Mo Ya didn't have time to appreciate Fan Ju's honor, he looked up at the ball, and the racket had already been placed on the back of his head, and his body leaned back slightly, obviously not ready to wait for the ball to fall before he planned to swing the racket and hit a super smash!

"Hmph, it's so beautiful, you won't have a chance!" Fan Ju's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth began to tense slightly, which was his trick when holding back the change in expression, so that his entire face would remain poker in order to prevent revealing his change in state.

"Smack... Syllable! After two consecutive sounds, the audience even began to rub their eyes in disbelief, and when they saw that the direction of the ball was actually the half of Moya and Nadal, they shook their heads and sighed their applause.

Mo Ya's face was incredible, he didn't know how Fan Ju did it, such a short-distance smash, this was not a return ball after bouncing on the bottom line.

"Is he still human? Can such a ball be volleyed? Mo Ya muttered to himself, it was already difficult enough to compete with Fan Ju in the past, but now it seems that Fan Ju has not yet reached his limit.

Nadal glanced at Fan Ju helplessly, and could only turn back to comfort his humility, but he had long been accustomed to training with Fan Ju, Moya's ball in front of Fan Ju could not escape no matter what, and the opponent intercepted it as quickly as lightning.

"Nice hors d'oeuvres, albeit at a triple speed." Fan Ju smiled, this is just the beginning. (To be continued......)
