Chapter 144: Team Harmony Is Difficult
"Winning so easily?" Katrina was still a little incredulous, she thought it would be another difficult battle, but the result was completely opposite.
Of course, winning is not as easy as it seems, and the technique required to press the backhand is not something that the average pro can achieve.
No matter how weak Filippo's backhand is, it is also professional, and if you want to break the opponent's defense, you must at least come up with a higher skill than the opponent to have this opportunity.
"Fan Ju was in good shape today, and the points he suppressed were very accurate, especially the tug-of-war in front of the baseline at the beginning of the first set, and it was very smart to wait for the opponent to take the initiative to make mistakes." Raschet was very satisfied with Fan Ju's appearance.
Of course, he can still see Fan Ju's problems, but in the challenge level competition, these problems are not fatal, there are not many opponents who can catch these problems, there is no absolute strength suppression, Fan Ju's performance is not abnormal, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in strength.
Fan Ju walked out of the arena and felt that the burden on his body had been lifted, and he knew that this was just the beginning of the race, and that there were still four long rounds waiting for him.
He didn't think that he would be eliminated, and his goal was only the final.
Outcome? Eliminate? None of this is a problem, any hesitation is superfluous in a schedule where a loss is only elimination.
Even if you defeat your opponent and retire, then it will not be you who advances, but only another lucky opponent who will have a bye, this is a competitive game, except for the qualifying round, and will not let a player who has already lost play again for any reason.
That's what competitive competition is. It's brutal and passionate, and all you have to think about is how to win the game in front of you. Until no opponent can stand in your way.
"It's been a year before I know it......" Seeing the spring rain falling on the street again, Fan Ju remembered how he looked when he was looking for a tennis center with an umbrella and getting lost.
The naïve rookie at that time now now has the strength to be able to advance to the world, which is a bit incredible, but it is so real.
Fan Ju is very aware that in addition to his abilities, his progress is also due to the clever cooperation of various conditions after being reborn. Stronger learning ability, special training and cultivated physical fitness and innate conditions, even a lot higher than the previous life. It also allows him to have better conditions in professional tennis.
The appearance of the ability merely catalyzed all of these conditions, the affluent economic conditions, the feeling of wanting to win, and this qiē coincidentally sent Fan Ju into the world of tennis. He has become what he is now!
"Perhaps. It's called fate! Fan Ju didn't know whether to believe in fate or not, and after he was reborn, he even doubted whether his rebirth had any meaning.
But now it seems that he can't help but believe that his rebirth is all just for one thing, that is, tennis, as a reborn person, to reach the pinnacle of tennis!
Raschet and Katrina waited for Fan Ju outside the Circle, while Honoré arranged Fan Ju's interview today. Although the failure to contact to win the championship made Fan Ju's popularity fade slightly, the revenge battle still has a lot to watch. It was also when he came into play as a media assistant.
"Good game!" Raschet patted Fan Ju on the shoulder in relief.
"It should." After finishing speaking, Fan Ju smiled, he was very satisfied that today's qiē made him feel good, even the rain fell after the end of his game, as if he was washing away his failure in the last game and welcoming a new game.
Fan Ju is in a good mood, but there is better news waiting for him, the first round of the first half of the division was very lively, a rain caused a lot of upsets, the fifth and sixth seeds were eliminated by their opponents one after another, and the fifth seed was originally the opponent Fan Ju will face in the next round.
Going from facing a seeded player to an opponent who has made it from a qualifying round to a main draw doesn't seem to make much difference in high-end matches, and many powerful players like Fan Ju don't have enough rankings to match.
But let's not forget that there are at least three more matches in the qualifying rounds than a well-rested opponent like Fan Ju, which means that it will be difficult for the opponent to maintain his best fitness after beating the No. 5 seed, no matter how high morale and fitness he is.
"It's a pity that the No. 5 seed lost too easily, so it would be nice to put more pressure on the opponent." Fan Ju watched the footage of the match and expressed slight displeasure with the Georgian seed.
has strength, but he didn't play it, which is a bit like Fan Ju's state some time ago, obviously he didn't adjust his condition after coming to Italy.
"I just finished playing in the United States two weeks ago, and it is of course difficult to be in too good shape when I return to Europe, and seeing that without him, the speed of judgment is obviously slow, obviously because of the lack of concentration." Raschet pointed to the question of the return just now, and made his own judgment.
Of course, the loss is not entirely due to the state, just like Fan Ju, as a player with professional training, even if the state is not good, he can still play a certain strength, this Spanish player who has qualified all the way to the main tournament and eliminated the seeded players is obviously not easy to deal with.
"Oscar Hernandez, a Spaniard, is 25 years old and has been in the professional profession for 6 years, and he is a right-handed, one-handed backhand player." These are all basic information, and as soon as the opponent for the next round is determined, Raschet collects and sorts it out as quickly as possible.
THE 180CM HEIGHT, 70 KG WEIGHT, AND ONE-HANDED BACKHAND REMINDED FAN JU OF HIS PREVIOUS OPPONENT FILIPPO WOLANDRI, AND THE TWO MUST HAVE A LOT OF SIMILARITIES EVEN IF THEIR SKILLS ARE NOT IDENTICAL.
Innate conditions will limit the player's style of play, just like Fan Ju and Nadal have abundant body, strong arms and lower handicap, which allows them to play more calmly when facing opponents, and use heavy pressure balls and more expendable body lì to suppress their opponents.
A brisk body means that you will be more inclined to speed, and you can run fast on clay, which is an advantage over hard courts.
Landing earlier and slower ball speed allows them to play with more subtle changes, just like Filippo's forehand shot, because of the early positioning, they can hide the direction of attack very secretly, which is very useful, even the Fan who has time to observe calmly will be fooled, let alone others.
"It's easy to deal with, it's easy to deal with, it's hard to deal with, it's really a difficult opponent......" Fan Ju saw the opponent's backshot, and rubbed his chin that was only a little hairy, slightly stronger than Filippo, not so easy to penetrate.
The backhand is slightly stronger, but Oscar also does not have Filippo's strong forehand power, and the score on the baseline is more based on moving and hitting the ball on the sideline, with high precision, power and speed, and he is very good at seizing opportunities and hitting the winning goal.
Fan Ju already has a little strategy in mind, but he needs to be on the court to know if it is useful, just like the first time he faced Filippo, it was not that he didn't know that the opponent's backhand was weak, but the scattered attack made him lose the chance to win.
Of course, Filippo's state at that time was at an excellent level and Fan Ju was at a low ebb, and the impact of this relative strength difference was not small, so the result of the game could not rely on the pre-match prediction, and when he was ready, he could only know the real result when he was better than the others.
Fan Ju didn't eat much for lunch, which can also be seen that the body of the game was not consumed much, and the body was almost equivalent to a three-set practice match, and the second set of Filippo almost did not let Fan Ju exert his strength, and the consumption of the first game was higher because of the control.
"Coming back?" During lunch, Fan Ju didn't see Honori appear, Fan Ju was a good "employer" to deal with, and often dined with his coaches and assistants.
Especially after winning the game today, Fan Ju was very happy to take the initiative to invite guests to dinner, but Honori regretted not being able to participate because he needed to arrange "work", and waited until more than 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Fan Ju returned to the hotel after reading the information of the opponent tomorrow.
"Well, there's good news, there's an Italian magazine that wants to interview you at 4 p.m., and it's expected that half an hour will be enough." This is not France, and there are not many media outlets that Honore can contact immediately, especially after ESPN's retreat, and the lack of support from international media, the interview lineup is a little shabby.
"Why didn't you tell me? Don't you know that you can't arrange interviews for Fan Ju at will? It was just an ordinary interview, but Catrina was not satisfied, not for Honore, but as an accompanying assistant, she needed to know all of Fan Ju's itinerary to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
Now this is a little redundant for Fan Ju, after all, Fan Ju's biggest event is only the competition, and other business activities also need to wait until after the competition.
It's not that Fan Ju didn't have an interview invitation, but she was blocked by Katrina from several places, all of which were places and gossip tabloids, and she didn't want Fan Ju to appear frequently in these tabloids for a little exposure.
"I'm sorry, I haven't informed you yet, but I've already consulted with Mr. Rembrandt, and he has agreed to the magazine's interview." Honore didn't back down this time, he kept his posture.
Of course, interviews are good for Fan Ju, but you need to choose the media carefully, Italian tennis magazines are quite famous, and it took a lot of effort to get this interview opportunity.
He guessed that going to Catrina would definitely be thwarted, so he communicated directly with Rembrandt after he had determined his goal.
Rembrandt is the real person in charge of Fan Ju, and Catrina is only a temporary assistant no matter what, as long as Rembrandt agrees, then Katrina will no longer have a problem.
"Okay, okay, but it's just an interview, and next time don't forget to set the time with Katrina in advance." changed to a minor, I am afraid that I have nothing to say at this time, but Fan Ju casually transferred the contradiction between the two at work to such a trivial matter as "forgetting to notify".
The team must be harmonious, otherwise Fan Ju will be uncomfortable, the front is just a microcosm, Fan Ju has to take into account the arrangement of his future team, natural opponents like Honore and Katrina, must not be put together, even if they really want to use the work, there must be no overlap.
