Chapter 276: Sharapova's Final

People have joys and sorrows, the moon is cloudy and sunny, and Fanju's life does not have so many exciting changes, but the competition, it is difficult to say.

I am still quite confident in the singles fanju, at least in the current situation, I dare not say that the singles championship of the Japan Tour is inevitable, and I also have some ideas.

"It's a pity ......" Fan Ju regretfully left the court, in fact, he had a chance to win, but the No. 1 seed Rehman Schutler was in surprisingly good form.

If you want to describe it, it's like Roddick when he won two Masters and the US Open in one go, God blocked and killed the gods and Buddhas when they destroyed the Buddha, although Fan Ju was a powerful obstacle, but he fought hard in this breath, and Fan Ju fought on a par when he went berserk.

Although Fan Ju won a set in the rampage, the price he paid was to consume a lot of speed ability, and the opponent still maintained a very high offensive spirit in the third set, while Fan Ju's state began to decline.

"I survived to tie seven...... But the serve was still lost in the end. Fan Ju regretted not the strength of the enemy, but the fact that he made a few key second shots in the end, giving the opponent a chance to overtake the score, and was entangled to 11 points, but he still lost after all.

The fourth round of singles was eliminated, and the No. 6 seed was really embarrassed to be ranked, not far behind, but not far ahead, except for all the first-round seeded players who had byes, and played a relatively easy game in the second round.

Although the opponent's ranking in the third round is not high, he stubbornly wants to use the body to consume Fan Ju to death, and use the running of the sacrificial body to delay the outbreak of Fan Ju, but in the end, he was dragged to death by Fan Ju at the bottom line.

The game was not very exciting. However, fatigue had accumulated somewhat, and with the third round of doubles that started almost an hour and a half in the afternoon, Fan Ju had to face a singles seed. A strong opponent with a higher-ranked partner.

In the morning, he consumed too much speed, and in the afternoon, he only maintained a good state in the doubles, and in the second set, his partner with Zeng Shaodigo was confused, and in the third set, it completely collapsed.

Having consumed a lot of body and losing doubles in the semi-finals, Fan Ju was in a not-so-best state against No. 1 seed Rehman Schutler. The opponent is not the best of the best, and this year, except for reaching the Australian Open final at the beginning of the year, there are no particularly dazzling results.

But it was precisely this period that caught up with the best outbreak period. After years of accumulation, I finally found the moment to rush to the top at the age of 27, the best age for sports.

"That's the short-lived brilliance that belongs to this type of player. Don't be sad. They're different from you, and you don't need to burn all your energy to get there. "Raschet knows these players very well, and this style of play is almost overdrawing his career, and it is not something that Fan Ju should learn.

Lehman Schuttler is currently ranked eighth in the world, but with such a high professional ranking, he has only won three titles, Qatar in '99, Shanghai in '01, and Montpellier at the beginning of this year.

This is not a good result among the top players. But you have to understand that in this world it is far more difficult to win a championship than to climb to the top rankings.

The reason why Fan Ju is favored in the ranking. It is precisely because he maintains a high level of stability in most of the tournaments, and also shows his ability to play against the top players, that he naturally receives more attention.

Losing to Lehman is not a big disappointment, Tokyo is not his home turf, just like the United States, just because you can understand English, it doesn't mean that you belong in that place.

"No. 25 in singles and No. 214 in doubles, which is very good." Fan Ju comforted himself that he had no intention of leaving Tokyo at this time, and although he lost the game, the invitations for interviews increased.

The estimated departure time given to him by the team is about the end of the game, plus his girlfriend has returned to New York to continue his school, and the next destination for Fan Ju is the European arena, and there is still time to spare, so Fan Ju still chooses to wait for the game to go.

Can there be a place for Fan Ju to stay and watch the game? Nishikori Kei little ghost head Fan Ju doesn't have to worry, after a few days of intensive training with Fan Ju, his state has already been adjusted, and his strength is more than enough to deal with those middle school students in Japan, and he doesn't have to worry about this at all.

Although Lehman Schutler is good, he is not in the list of opponents that Fan Ju is currently difficult to defeat, or there are not many Lehman's strength that can make Fan Ju fearful, unless it really breaks out like a drug addict this time, and encounters a time when Fan Ju's state is not the best.

"Definitely win next time!" Fan Ju is very confident that the opponent's bottom line has been exposed, but he still has room for growth.

……

Yuri clenched his hands a little nervously, the Russian man rarely maintained such a nervous demeanor, in Fan Ju's memory, he was either urging Sharapova to train, or staring at Fan Ju to cross the line with his daughter, in short, a somewhat authoritarian old man.

But in the face of his daughter's game, especially the first doubles final, he inevitably became nervous, Fan Ju looked at it and shook his head, he saw it more clearly than Yuri, he knew that as long as the first set was won, this match would definitely be won.

"Yesterday's opponents Zheng Jie and Yan Zi were still stronger, similar to the combination of the No. 2 seeds, and today's American combination played too monotonously, blindly taking the bottom line and intercepting ......" Fan Ju compared in his heart, and finally found that Sava definitely won.

The opponent is not an experienced combination, in 82 and 85, the largest is not 21, the youngest is only 18, and the Thai female player born in 77 on Sharapova's side, although the strength is not the strongest, but the doubles match is very good.

Not blindly attacking and leaving the opportunity to hit Sharapova, who has a more lethal forehand, is undoubtedly playing to the strongest advantage of the pair, although the situation is anxious, but it seems that it has fallen to Sharapova's side.

In the second set, the American combination collapsed, and the young players took the lead in losing the motivation to cooperate, while the Sharapova combination took advantage of the victory to chase after it, and under the applause of the audience, they beat the opponent to a 6:0 victory.

Yuri finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Fan Ju with a smile on his face, and then looked at his daughter but felt a little pity, both of them are of the same nationality, and they may be able to win the mixed doubles gold medal together.

Sharapova held the trophy with a smile on her face, but her tall figure was like a little girl, waving her palms, as if she knew that Fan Ju would look at her again, and raised the trophy a few times towards the audience where Fan Ju was, as if to say that I have the doubles championship, you don't have it yet.

However, the girl's game is not over yet, like Fan Ju, Sharapova's goal is singles, not doubles, doubles belongs to the easy way to get out of the way, by the way, to increase some game experience, singles is the real main business.

"This tournament girl is so lucky, is God going to help her win the game?" Looking at the roster of matches without a single seeded player from beginning to end, what else could Fan Ju say except sigh?

The WTA Tour in Tokyo and Fan Ju in Shanghai are both the lowest level of competition in the same class, with a total prize fund of only $170,000, which means that there are not many high-ranked players and the competition will not be too fierce

The top seed is Japan's native athlete WTA No. 12 Ai Sugiyama, while the second seed is Thailand's No. 30 doubles partner with Maria Sharapova.

The Thai women's player was upset in the second round, while Ai Sugiyama also retired injured in the third round, and with the unexpected departure of the highly-ranked high-seeded player, Sharapova, as the No. 5 seed, gradually gained a ranking and psychological advantage.

On the day of the doubles final, she had already been eliminated in the morning, Fan Ju's fellow Chinese player Zheng Jie, and after winning the doubles championship, Shun Lì almost advanced to the women's singles final with the highest morale!

This is Sharapova's second final of the year after the challenge, and the last time was in the challenge, it can be said that she, like Fan Ju, gradually became strange after entering the tour, and fell again and again in the first few rounds, as if the whole world didn't want her to win.

At this time, God seemed to be telling her, the victory of this game belongs to her, look at her opponent, after entering the professional ranking, she is only ranked 128th now, and there is one day of rest before the final, which undoubtedly gives Sharapova a chance to breathe and adjust to find her best!

"Your strength is not bad, but it's a pity that you count on the body every time, your style of play is too demanding on the continuity of your body, this time you are very good, much better than me." Fan Ju looked at Sharapova, who was waiting for a performance, and wanted to remind him, but in the end he had to criticize himself.

Fan Ju's trip to Japan this time was not in the plan, but Sharapova's invitation came to Japan, and after watching the game, he went to Europe, which can be regarded as Fan Ju's reward for the little girl, after all, in the next two competitions, Fan Ju and the girl did not go the same way.

First of all, the Masters is not sexist, although it is true that there are more men's matches and more attention than women's competitions in terms of commerciality and tournament prize money.

But the real reason is that due to the space constraints of each venue, there are not many venues that can hold both men's and women's major competitions at the same time.

In particular, in addition to the four major tournaments, only Toronto, Rome, Indianapolis and Miami Masters are held at the same time.

On the contrary, it is more likely that the men's and women's tournaments will be held at the same time, and Sharapova is temporarily separated from Fan Juhui because her ranking is not enough to get a ticket to the WTA Zurich tournament. (To be continued......)
