Chapter 151: The Future Triumvirate

"It's a thrilling game, does he love roller coasters so much every time?" Fan Ju looked at the final score and asked Tony beside him depressedly.

"Not every time, just ......often" This man's heart has been trained to be harder than steel, and he has long been accustomed to Nadal's ups and downs.

Although the German Thomas Befield was a little slower than Nadal, he suddenly began to counterattack in the second set, not only improving his form, but also greatly improving the accuracy of his return, and played a forehand with Nadal.

At this time, Nadal seemed to be deflated all of a sudden, and the "brave" state in the first set disappeared in an instant, which made Fan Ju think for a while that he was about to miss the opportunity to be in the final with Nadal again.

Fan Ju was worried about the whole plate, but Tony Nadal on the side was silent, just when Fan Ju wanted to ask a question with a different face, Tony asked Fan Ju to be calm and continue to watch.

Then, this also allowed Fan Ju to see Nadal's whirlwind counterattack for the first time, more real than what he saw on TV, when he was slowed down at double speed, Nadal's offensive rhythm was compared to the second set, no! Half a tempo faster than the first set.

The same style of play, the same technique, but when the pace is accelerated by half a pace, it still maintains extremely high efficiency and stability.

His opponent did not lose the ability to fight back in the third set, but in the face of this increasingly fast engine, it was inevitable to lose.

Toni didn't explain to Fan why Nadal was like this, and Fan didn't ask. But Fan Ju's psychology is like pressing a stone.

"The pace is so fast, it's like a train that is constantly accelerating, and there are no brakes at all. Once activated, it is unstoppable, and under the pressure of this constant high stability, it is no wonder that the opponent will make a series of mistakes in the final set. "It's more intuitive to see the on-site examples, and it is also clearer to understand the reasons for the failure of those players.

Both Fan Ju and Nadal have watched each other's opponents play at this time, and they both have a clear impression of their opponents in their hearts.

However, the more this happens, the more the two feel that the opponent is difficult, and this is not an opponent that can be defeated by preparing and analyzing in advance.

There is one day off until the game. After returning from this day, Fan Ju lay on the bed and thought a lot about how to break Nadal's powerful forehand and backhand. How to suppress the opponent's rhythm, and can the serve and net be effective?

This made Fan Ju's heart ripple, he was not afraid, on the contrary, the powerful Nadal made him even more excited. Fan Ju has been looking forward to playing against this opponent since the last stop. But he didn't get the chance.

……

"Let's have a good fight!" Fan Ju subconsciously said it, and the people around him suddenly cast strange glances at him.

Nadal showed a curious look, Fan Ju just spoke in English, he only understood a few words, but looking at the faces of the people around him, this sentence must be very interesting.

"What do you see, haven't you seen a handsome guy? Not yet leading the way in front. Fan Ju patted Nadal on the shoulder and told the little stubborn cow to move his head away.

Rested too late the night before. Fortunately, there was no game the next day, so I had enough rest to keep my body rested. Fan Ju had to save the morning workout class.

Raschet did not blame Fan Ju, the physical aspect was Fan Ju's own management from the beginning, Fan Ju was very self-disciplined, and was able to train and maintain the body well in accordance with the scientific method.

Just one day's rest will not affect Fan Ju's physical reserves, especially after a long period of competition, it can also slightly relieve mental tension and delay the low tide period.

No training, it doesn't mean that Fan Ju can hang out for a day, but Honoré came to find Fan Ju early in the morning and told him about his previous Italian magazine, hoping to add a few questions.

Because of the change in subject matter, the previous preparation questions were not sufficient, especially with the interview with Nadal, the other party hoped that Fan Ju would find time to accept an interview, and it was with Nadal.

Have the two contestants meet before the match and be interviewed together? This shouldn't come as a surprise that at the highest level, almost every match has a separate press conference and interviews.

It's normal to meet like this, the game doesn't mean that you don't get along with each other for a long time, you are still friends after winning or losing, and it's probably rare to be able to break up because of losing.

Fan Ju and Nadal actually live in a nearby hotel, the hotel is provided by the organizers, the players are divided into two hotels, in the first few rounds, Fan Ju occasionally went out to see familiar faces, but they are not familiar, Fan Ju can only nod and smile.

As the tournament continued to be eliminated, the players left the hotel and left the city, and now only two people remain, Fan Ju and Nadal, who can continue to stay in the organizer's room for free.

"I met Mr. Fan Ju again, and Mr. Nadal, and it's an honor to have both of them." Even if it was Fan Ju and Nadal who actually sent out the interview invitation, the middle-aged man was still polite and polite.

Isn't it enough that both of them are rising stars of the future, and a win for either of them is a rare achievement, and a win for Fan Ju means his second Challenger title, not to mention a Nadal victory, and a European Challenge champion under the age of 17.

You are arrogant now, and when the other party really stands on the top, it will be too late for you to want to interview, on the contrary, if you build a good relationship now, you can also be more "taken care of" in the future.

Fan Ju and Nadal are not good face people, but others give themselves face, but they are still happy, first took a few solo photos of Nadal, and the photographer asked for the two to take a few group photos.

……

looked at Nadal in opposition to each other, and showed a strong "fighting spirit" according to the photographer's requirements, which was originally just for taking pictures and acting, but for some reason the eyes of the two opened wider and wider.

Feeling the "anger" in his heart, Fan Ju involuntarily used the speed of the period, and the expression on his face became even more hideous, as if a demon god had descended into the world.

Nadal had not yet entered the play, and the young man's temperament made him feel even more funny, seeing the change in Fan Ju's expression, he also pretended to be "hateful", but for some reason he felt interesting, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly, as if he was saying "interesting".

"What's wrong with you? Did you have any questions? ”

After the two took the photo, they immediately put away their expressions, but when they looked back, there was a room full of silent people, even Tony Nadal and Fan Ju's assistants, all of them were surprised, and the expressions of the two just now were clearly as if they could see standing on the peak court and preparing for a showdown.

It's a delusion, right? Everyone shook their heads, obviously just wearing sportswear to take promotional photos, and even if it was tomorrow's final, it was just an "ordinary" challenge, it was too early to say the pinnacle or something, whether it was Fan Ju or Nadal, if you want to reach that peak, you still need to face too many challenges.

Whoever makes it to the top is not an easy task, and even if the two stop together, it's not surprising, anything can happen in high-intensity competitions and battles, and it's not a height that can be reached with hard work.

The interview continued, and there were a few ordinary questions about Nadal, and like Fan Ju, there were press releases, which were very formulaic, and even a few new questions were business-like, and there was nothing special about them.

But when the interview was about to end, the middle-aged man suddenly smiled.

"Then there are two last questions, don't worry that they are not asked suddenly, but I am afraid that only you can give the answer."

What's the problem? Fan Ju and Nadal both showed curious looks, the other party sold well, especially Fan Ju saw that Tony Nadal and Honoré standing behind the reporter both showed a "wicked smile", even Raschet couldn't help but pout the corners of his mouth, obviously enduring something.

"Who do you think will win the next game......

"Me!" "It's definitely me!"

Before the reporter's words were finished, Fan Ju and Nadal blurted out one after another, regardless of before and after, and looked at each other after speaking.

The middle-aged reporter thought it was funny, the two of them were very friendly before, and it can be seen that they are good friends in private, just like the answer to their own questions.

However, the question of winning or losing is that whether it is a slightly older and more mature Fan Ju, or Nadal, who was "taught" behind Fan Ju before, he looks like he must win at this time.

"Okay, next question, where do you think the other person will be able to reach in the future? Or how many places can you get in the approximate world ranking? "That's a good question, and it doesn't address them personally, but makes them evaluate each other.

"A couple of Grand Slams should be fine, except for the clay ones, I think I can win all the games, and the ranking must be No. 2 in the world, because the world No. 1 is definitely mine." Nadal confidently said that in addition to the clay Grand Slam of the French Open, other Nadals can generously "concede" some.

Hum! The little kid is not ashamed, and Fan Ju mentally scolded Nadal, the shameless little guy who rushed to answer, which was originally his answer.

"What if I just give him one or two Grand Slams at the French Open, world No. 1? Wait until you get to the second place in the world first! Fan Ju shot back unceremoniously, and of course also said his "expectations" for Nadal.

Both are second in the world? It's really bold, but it's normal for young people to be energetic, and the confidence of the two of them in their own strength, and at the same time the talent that comes out of the table, is indeed enough to put their eyes on the pinnacle position.

"Do you have any other opponents you care about? Especially among young people. The journalist asked the last question.

Nadal was a little hesitant at this time, not that he didn't care, but there were a lot of them, he didn't know how to say it, and he said it all, wouldn't it seem that he was too unconfident?

"Roger Federer, I can't think of anyone else but him." Fan Ju didn't lie, that name was even more impressive than Nadal left on him! (To be continued......)
