Back at the hotel, Fan Ju rested, although the game was short, but it took a lot of time, but it didn't take long for the door to knock.

"Please come in, the door is unlocked." Fan Ju didn't stand up either, he probably guessed who was coming.

Honore looked quietly at the front and back, and a man opened the door and closed it again, as if he was afraid that someone would see him.

"You're doing a good job, and our plan seems to be successful." Honorie was a little proud, this time Fanju's remarks were not made casually, but were planned by Honorie, the media assistant.

Aside from IMG, this is the first time that Honori has subverted the image of Fan Ju, and the past Fan Ju was too calm under the packaging of large companies, although it may win praise from many traditional people, but it is not in line with the image of Fan Ju itself.

Young and domineering, this is the posture that Honori looks like and Fan Ju should show to the outside world.

Domineering doesn't have to offend people, like Roddick's speech against a certain player, Fan Ju doesn't have to copy it.

Just like today, when you are confident, you don't hesitate to show it, so that those interviewed media have nothing to say, this is the real domineering, showing the inner momentum of Fan Ju.

"You've succeeded, I'm miserable, who knows what will come out the next day, Perry has already reported the situation here to IMG headquarters, and Rembrandt seems to be busy for a while." Fan Ju spoke, but his expression was not nervous, and he liked this feeling.

It's just that in the past, he may not have this self-confidence, but when he came to the carpet field. But he felt like he was coming!

That's right, it feels like Honori's plan is to make him look at it and say some bold words, and he originally wanted to be conservative. Let's talk about the semi-finals or something, after all, judging from the current list of participants, Fan Ju does have a great chance of reaching the semi-finals all the way.

However, Fan Ju did not dare to underestimate his opponents in the next round, No. 15 seed Mantila, and the most likely fourth seed Coria, both of whom are clay-type players, both of whom are chronic, and the carpet does not match their skills.

Originally, Fan Ju thought so. But when he met Pavila today, Fan Ju realized that in fact, as long as it was an offensive style of play. There is a certain advantage in the carpet field, and it is not simply a quick victory.

"Be careful to return the ball, be cautious in your attack!" This is the experience that Agassi gave after his victory on clay. A non-clay player. The only way to win on clay, apart from training on clay from a young age, is to reduce your mistakes and wait for your chances.

Only with patience can he play on clay, Sampras's temperament is too impatient, so the French Open has become a flaw in his perfect career.

Fan Ju plays fastball, but he also has a temperament. He is fast and is more based on the characteristics of doubling speed that he is getting used to, so to speak. Because of the multiple, Fan Ju's technical characteristics will be like a fast ball approaching, but he himself can be extremely patient to wait for the lurking, and often patiently endure the critical moment before starting to make a fatal force.

The carpet field is different, the feeling of the first day of the game made Fan Ju concretize the characteristics of the carpet field in his mind, the bounce is slightly higher than the grass, but it bounces faster than any court.

It won't be affected by the weather, but the course is always very slippery, and you'll want to put on spikes to play, especially when there is a sudden change of direction, which requires extremely quick reflexes and balance.

On this course, the ability of the slow players to survive is almost stifled, so this is definitely a venue that you don't want to encounter for the spin-minded clay players.

It's not a good place even for normal hard-court players, the bounce speed is faster, so they have to consume a larger body, and the bounce height makes them unable to play the previous baseline tactics and fall into an extremely passive state.

Today's opponent of Fan Ju has obviously studied the carpet court well, but when he encounters Fan Ju, he can only be eliminated, and for more players, this is just a once a year competition, if it is not for the tight points, in order to save the body in the finals, it is not without players who deliberately lose.

"You see the situation continues, I hope your friends can really be reliable." After discussing how to deal with it in the future, Fan Ju sent Honori away.

Fan Ju also has a love-hate relationship with Honorie, and he always makes some unexpected attention, showing his excellent hype skills as a journalist.

It's a pity that most of these notes are crooked ideas, and even some of them have gone on the "evil path", and it is normal for IMG not to agree with it at the beginning, and those ideas for investing in the shares have really been realized one by one, and Honori may not be so happy to print out of IMG and come to serve Fan Ju's private service.

"They should let them do things after they collect the money, every time they are formulaic to create momentum, I can almost memorize their routines, they can indeed create a perfect image of a player with excellent results, but it is impossible to expect them to copy an ordinary player." Honori did not agree with the other party's outdated ideas, and even thought that if she went into the media industry, IMG would be the first to go out of business.

Looking at IMG's historical signings and famous players, you can see that the Frenchman is indeed right, there is potential, ability, and can withstand IMG's high-end publicity, if you are really capable, then IMG comes from the top media and sponsor channels, which is enough to make you a lot of money.

But if it's just an ordinary person, this big company lacks the ability, and the top channels don't care about these unknown small fish and shrimp at all, and in the end they can only do some low-end business activities and waste a lot of time.

"Will IMG go out of business?" Fan Ju shook his head, this is not for him to consider, even without IMG, he can still live, his name has been broken out, more and more people know him, and the endorsement inquiries received by Rembrandt can fill the filing cabinet.

However, Fan Ju still hasn't let go of making money yet, as for the reason that the time has not come, according to IMG's judgment, next year is the best time to gradually develop business.

Fan Ju has no opinion on this, he cares more about his own competition, and even the assets invested in those companies that he cares about, he doesn't care much.

October is the rainy season in France, and the continuous autumn rain is always non-stop, the rain is not heavy, but it is cold, hitting the neck, people can't help but shiver.

"It's good that it's an indoor court." Fan Ju feels that there is an indoor court not without the end, tennis is not like football, as long as it is not raining, it can still be played, and if it rains a little, the game can be stopped, and I don't know how long it will take.

On the contrary, there is no such problem in the indoor stadium, so the game will not be postponed and the spectators can watch the game with more confidence.

Today's opponent is 15th seed Matilla, the winner of the Rome Masters in '03, but even the most determined rebels did not expect the grass and carpet events combined, and Matilla, who had a win rate of more than 30%, would be able to knock Fan out.

In the three carpet competitions he participated in before, none of them had played the first round, which was enough to see how high this player's strength was on the carpet court.

This player is basically not very good outside of clay, and he is a very traditional Spanish clay player, and if he meets him on clay, he will probably have to weigh whether he can handle it, but in other courts.

"Sure enough, it's easy to deal with...... Playing on pure clay on the stall, isn't this the same as using the serve on the clay to surf the net? Fan Ju complained about his opponent, of course, the last sentence definitely did not include himself, at that time in the French Open, Fan Ju had no way to get in, and he was able to reach the third round, and he now feels that his luck at that time was really good.

But the opponent is just a dead brain, so he obviously has an excellent clay technique, but he only reached the tenth place in the world in 98.

It's not because of bad results, but the 10 singles titles in my career are more than many of the top players, and it's purely focused on clay that I don't even think about achieving better results on other courts.

Sticking to clay doesn't necessarily mean losing on hard courts, but on carpet courts, there is definitely no second way to survive, and it is not easy to win on this court unless you meet an "old stubborn" like him.

"The clay defence is really solid, and it can drag itself for so long." There was still a hiccup in the game, Fan Ju wanted to end the game as much as possible, but the opponent's baseline defense held Fan Ju's footsteps back.

Especially in the opponent's service game, the steady clay technique finally showed his strength and dragged Fan Ju for a while.

However, in the end, it didn't last too long, because in addition to the normal serve and net available, Fan Ju also had hidden violent killing moves, which were by no means something that the opponent could resist.

The 6:4 and 6:3 matches dragged on for a while, and in the end there was no further support, and Fan Ju won, undoubtedly winning the game, but those opposition media did not stop shouting, because they believed that Fan Ju could not escape the fate of the third round of elimination!

Coria, winner of the Basel Open, is a tour-level indoor carpet event held before the Paris Masters.

Although the result in the final was questioned by David Nalbandian's retreat without a fight, after all, compared to the opponents who defeated strong opponents, Coria did not even have a strong seed to make the progress.

On the contrary, Nalbandian, who had reached the Wimbledon final, was more optimistic before the game, but unfortunately after eliminating Roddick in the semifinals, he retired due to injury, and even failed to participate in the Paris Masters.

"They think too highly of him, and if you talk about clay and hard courts, I'll admit that Coria is good, but if he can definitely knock me out, you'll have to look at it on the court." Fan Ju flipped through the newspaper, but he didn't care, or his target was looking at a farther goal, which was definitely not something that could be stopped in the third round.
