"Well done this time, do you know what those reporters call you now? Tim Henman, the killer in front of the net, admits that he doesn't dare to let you go to the net, and you are now the favorite in the top 8 of Wimbledon. Rembrandt comforted Fan Ju with the good news he had heard.

He was clearly thinking too much about it, and being able to reach the semi-finals on his first tour was too much of a goal that Fan Ju had previously envisioned.

Originally, seeing his ranking, Fan Ju set his promotion to the third round at most, but who would have thought that Hewitt was not in good shape and capsized in front of his own small waves.

The other players who lost the game were more unfamiliar with the tactics of the grass court, and Fan Ju's style of play had too many advantages over them.

And this advantage is very young in front of Thiem, a serve and net player who has experienced the Sampras era.

"Okay, don't brag, I know I'm not strong enough, those media are just looking for topics, really optimistic about how good I am to say directly about the championship favorite, top 8? It's equivalent to saying nothing. ”

The time from Wimbledon is too tight, Fan Ju does not have enough time to improve, and now he can at most maintain his condition, absorb the airport experience of the previous competition, for Wimbledon that is close at hand, the increased competition experience may help him go further, but it is far from the end.

Fan Ju underestimated Tim Henman before the game, he only looked at the opponent's first two shots in front of the net, but missed the third shot.

In the fierce battle in front of the net, the probability of the third shot is actually very low, but it is often these places that are overlooked. can see the opponent's strength level better.

When shooting against Sampras, Tim Henman's third shot was not dominant, which was the main reason why Fan Ju accidentally ignored it. Some of the materials he read were too high-end, so high that they exceeded his current understanding and control of the technology in front of the network.

Fan Jubiao's strength in front of the net is too amazing, not only his opponents and the coaches around him, but even he himself is a little confused by the illusion created by the high reaction.

When he lost the game, he calmed down and compared those details, and the more he saw the cleverness of his opponent.

"I did learn a lot this time, maybe I can get more next time." Fan Ju nodded after watching the final video. decided on their own direction.

Fan Ju rested peacefully in the hotel until the evening, it was very quiet and no one came to disturb him, not that the reporter did not want to come. It's just that Fan Ju refused very simply, he gained too much new experience in the game, and he wanted to compare and absorb as much as possible, what an interview at this time. No fame matters. Even the interview with his friend Erin Andrews, Fan Ju simply refused.

He was not the only one who accompanied Fan Ju to think about it, Rachester took each ball apart for him to analyze the problem, and even Tony Nadal and Rafael Nadal both considered their tactics when they met netting players for Fan Ju's game.

A vigorous post-game analysis lasted until the moon rose into the sky, and it was not until the dietitian brought in the meal and told Fan Ju to eat on time.

It's just the theory that stops. Targeted training will begin tomorrow and will continue until the opening day of Wimbledon on June 23.

"Is Sharapova back?" Fan Ju remembered another little sister he cared about. When he heard the news that Sharapova also lost after the game, he sighed in his heart that it was a coincidence.

The Queen's Cup in London is a warm-up tournament for ATP Wimbledon, so Birmingham is the benchmark for women's competition.

Although Birmingham did not play at a high level and the No. 1 seed was only ranked 15th in the world, that did not mean that Sharapova, who reached the semi-finals of the tour for the first time, would receive less attention than Fan Ju.

If Fan Ju's previous fame relied more on the rights and wrongs of the Challenger tournament and the wonderful appearance of the French Open, then Sharapova, who often appears in the main draw of the Masters, has long been a familiar face in women's tennis.

"Girl did a good job, if it weren't for those two qualifiers, maybe you would have won the championship." Fan Ju comforted Sharapova, even if she knew that this girl who was taller than her was pretending to cry, but how could her brother leave her sister alone.

Sharapova rushed back by train as soon as the match was over, and of course what she was waiting for was not a celebration party for Fan Ju, but a review meeting for both of them.

Compared with the reality of Fan Ju's loss, Sharapova did have some regrets, and she was dragged to death by her opponent in the last set.

Since Sharapova was able to reach the first semi-finals, as she gets older and stronger, the semi-finals and even the final will gradually become a goal to pursue.

Fan Ju looked at his little sister lying in tears, but sighed in his heart, a new star in women's tennis is rising, and this speed is probably faster than himself.

Without the grass court, Fan Ju's advantage in serving to the net would have to be discounted, and it would not be so easy to deal with when he met a baseline player on a hard court.

Sharapova is different, she is a real bottom-line power type of play, and her strength will only increase as her strength and body increase, I am afraid that in Fan Ju's expectations, this girl may rush into the world's TOP10 ranking earlier than herself.

The schedule of the two has come to an end, and it is time to start settling accounts again, of course, this account is not just about counting how much relegation they have earned, compared with Fan Ju's sponsorship, the prize money is 108,000 miles away from catching up.

However, by the time Fan Ju's prize money reaches the amount of sponsorship, I am afraid that the low price of sponsorship has already doubled, this is professional tennis, as long as you are famous, you don't have to worry about money.

Although the Queen's Cup is not as big as the Masters, which has a total prize fund of one or two million, as a high-profile tournament on the tour, the total prize money of 800,000 is definitely the top in the tour.

The prize money in the semifinals is 32,800 US dollars, although it is not as good as the more than 40,000 US dollars in the third round of the French Open, but the full 100 ATP points really made Fan Ju feel an unusual change.

"Congratulations, starting today, you're a top 100 player in the ATP world rankings." The game was lost, but everyone's congratulations came as promised.

Even Fan Ju, who was blind in tennis knowledge in the past, is now very clear about the meaning of TOP100, which means that the qualification of the tour is stable, and it also means that Fan Ju has entered the world and entered the world of top tennis players.

In terms of strength, Fan Ju has already entered this level, and when he integrates technology, even if it is not at double speed, he can still have the skills and performance that are not weaker than the TOP100 players.

However, in the past, Fan Ju has been in low-level competitions, constantly accumulating points and improving rankings, but now Fan Ju has truly entered the world that meets his strength, as if he is a minor stepping into adulthood, which seems to be a small step, but it has a heavy meaning and challenge contained in it.

"Don't you really think about competing more? You only need to deduct 8 ATP points this year, which is an advantage for moving up the rankings? Rembrandt felt that Fanju's decision was arbitrary, especially since it was a pity not to participate in any tournament except for the Grand Slam and the Masters.

IMG is only a brokerage company, and although it is possible to determine the direction of the business activities and even the competition at a certain time, it is actually up to the players to choose according to their own state.

Fan Ju's previous intensive training itself was not completed, but after this grass match, he has a deeper understanding of the front of the net, and with Wimbledon after that, he knows that he needs more time to digest and improve.

Too many games are definitely not conducive to the development of training, even if there is a coach, you need certain training facilities and conditions to be able to effectively improve.

Fan Ju made a compromise for this, or he realized more clearly that compared to the wins and losses of those games, only by improving his most fundamental strength can he reach a higher height.

"Don't worry, it's not like I don't want to play, I definitely won't miss the Grand Slam and the Masters, and by the way, there is also the Heineken Open in Shanghai, and the tournament in Japan will be talked about then." Fan Ju looks like a big name, and he is not worried about whether he is eligible to participate.

Of course, the competition in Shanghai is not to be missed, it is both the motherland and the hometown, not only from the participation, according to Rembrandt, but also to try to achieve good results, so as to make Fan Ju more well-known in the country, deepen the influence accumulated by the previous results.

China does not attach much importance to tennis, so the effect brought by Fan Ju is not as big as Yao Ming's entry into the NBA, which is also helpless, even if the Tennis Association wants to change, it is not to change if it wants to change, after all, football and basketball are big sports in China, tennis is just a small ball, no matter how good it is, there are few people who pay attention, and it is difficult to make changes in the short term.

If another TOP100 player is replaced, let alone a temporary change, I am afraid that the schedule for the whole year of next year will be arranged at the end of last year.

After all, tennis is a professional competition, which requires rhythmic competition, training, and rest, and it is the safest and common practice of large companies to choose to participate in tournaments in different venues and formulate competitions according to their own rankings.

Fan Ju improved too quickly, but he couldn't make arrangements according to the routine, and even two months ago, IMG behind Rembrandt couldn't even determine whether Fan Ju was eligible to participate in the qualifying tournament of the Masters.

With the exception of the Grand Slam, which requires a urine test to be submitted three months in advance, most of the tournaments are casual, allowing Fan Ju to make his decision without much opposition. (To be continued......)
