Professional tennis players are very hard, spending more than half of their 52 weeks in the year, and high-ranked players choose not to play, but also in training, interviews, or on the road.

There is no rich harvest without exponential investment, and Fan Ju is so dedicated to this kind of rapid progress that others may think that it is just talent and luck.

But everyone who has seen Fan Ju's daily life will find that Fan Ju has really integrated his life with tennis.

"Take a break, tomorrow the game will start." Raschet accompanied Fan Ju on hard courts, which took place every day after arriving in Montreal.

Canada's northern latitude and abundant water area make summer days not as humid as London's seaside, and not too hot and dry due to lack of water.

However, after exercising, Fan Ju still sweated all over, and although the muscle strengthening training was reduced to an ordinary level in the past few days, Fan Ju worked hard to adapt to the ball sense.

"Well, okay, but it's still a little bit worse, the landing point control on the left and right sides is a little deviated, and the bottom line is because of the topspin after the strength is enhanced, and the landing point has not changed much." Fan jue evaluates the quality of the player's own return and finds some subtle differences.

The gold medal sparring partner was injured again, and after winning another Challenger match, Nadal, who was about to leave for the United States, accidentally sprained his ankle.

Fortunately, this sprain is not strict, but the next two Masters tournaments in Montreal and Cincingtina will not have a chance to participate, but fortunately, there is also the US Open. But with Nadal playing on hard courts, it was very difficult to play too well.

Fan Ju's signing form came out yesterday. However, after seeing the signing table, Fan Ju, who wanted to find an opponent with a "slightly lower" level and adapt to the rhythm of the field after the change of strength, couldn't help but scold "" again.

Carlos Moya, whose name Fan Ju has appeared many times in his previous supplementary knowledge, once won the title of No. 1 in the ATP ranking in '99, but this ranking is very interesting, and Fan Ju gave him a name. The uncrowned king.

As the name suggests, he ascended to the throne without a championship, and 98 was the peak of Carlos Moya's career, although he only won two championships in a year. But it is the Monte Carlo Masters and the French Open Grand Slam, two important tournaments.

However, in '99, the player was unusually "low-key", only reaching the final of the BNP Paribas Open, and did not even win a tour championship all season. But it is combined with the sluggishness of other players at the beginning of the year. With last year's results, in March stole the throne for just 2 weeks.

"The strength of the opponent is not bad, but after all, it is still a player on clay, so deal with it carefully and have a good chance of winning." Raschet doesn't care who Fan Ju's opponent is, he pays more attention to details, and Fan Ju's strength is very good, if he plays to the "limit". In his opinion, he can defeat any opponent.

Fan Ju also nodded, and his opponent is currently ranked fourth in the world. However, the player's characteristics are too Spanish, unlike Nadal's all-round style, and on non-clay courts, the top talent needs to be discounted several times.

The opponent is a person who has lived through the Sampras era, and Fan Ju's tactics must not be solved by a simple serve to the net.

After the match with Federer, Fan Ju has added another layer of understanding to high-ranked players, and the opponents at this level are not only technically mature, but also mentally at the relative peak.

In fact, if you look at the resumes of many players who are ranked in the 50 or more rankings, you will find that at a certain time, they may be in the position of being called the top players, but it is not so easy to maintain until the end of the year and become a real tennis master.

If you can't maintain your own form, you can't have the strength to suppress low-ranked players and continue to get good results, then the position of the TOP10 is definitely a hot potato.

Up the course you'll be challenged by higher-ranked players on different surfaces, and even high-ranked players won't necessarily win tournaments on tour every year, with many of the top players racking up points from a lot of semi-finals and eighths of the season.

The real championship title is often taken into the arms of the top players, as well as the players who are in full form at each time, even if they are the top, they may not be able to break through the first three rounds, and even on the unsuitable venue, the first round of the game is eliminated, and the upsets abound.

Fan Ju vs. Moya is a standard venue difference, of course, in terms of records, except for low-level matches, Fan Ju has no other records above the hard court tour.

Even according to Fan Ju's style of play, many people judge that Fan Ju is likely to be a red clay, or even a player who specializes in grass, but those who really understand Fan Ju will know that Fan Ju's skills are born for hard courts from the beginning of laying the foundation!

……

Accustomed to clay, playing on hard courts can feel too fast, and Carlos Moya is no different.

When warming up with Fan Ju, Carlos Moya found that there seemed to be something wrong with Fan Ju's ball control, and he could feel the subtle differences in the weight of the ball simply by returning the ball.

It didn't seem like it was intentional, it only meant that the opponent was not very stable, which made him think a little, after all, this is a big tournament at the level of the Masters, and the points earned will increase significantly with each round.

Carlos Moya doesn't like hard courts, and although they brought him great glory in Spain when he reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open, he is still a clay player at heart, which is in his soul and shows his winning percentage.

59% on hard courts, 70% on clay, this is the percentage of Carlos Moya who wins on different courts, but don't underestimate the 10% difference, he has a total of 12 clay championships in his entire career, and only 2 on hard courts, which is not only the 10% difference, but also the difference between the strength of clay and hard courts.

At the beginning of the game, Carlos Moya, who got the right to serve, was not in a hurry, Fan Ju's reputation in the tennis world is not small, a serve killer, a killer in front of the net, his appearance almost completely blocked these two skills.

He is also looking for opportunities, and he also has a lot of experience with serve and net players, Sampras has taught him many times that it is clear to him that using the serve in front of the net players will only die worse!

Fan Ju took two quick steps to receive the opponent's serve, a fast ball with a cut in the middle, with a speed of less than 200 kilometers, which is not the most threatening serve, it can only be said that the big one is very straight and open, but for Fan Ju, as long as the first reaction of this kind of ball is correct, there is no difficulty in receiving the serve.

The backhand did not bring too strong power, Fan Ju actually had the opportunity to return the ball closer to the sideline, but the current state is not suitable for this kind of risky return ball, once the control is not good, it is directly out of bounds, Fan Ju is more careful to shrink the power of about half a meter.

"Close!" Looking at the distance of almost 1 meter from the border, Fan Ju shook his head in his heart, he knew that this was inevitable, and once he hesitated, there would definitely be an error.

Carlos Moya didn't feel anything abnormal, Fan Ju's backhand return can hit the back corner, in his opinion, he is already very threatening, can let himself return the ball on the run, it is more difficult to play a threatening attack on the next ball, and he has seized the opportunity strategically.

A simple large-angle run to return the ball, powerful and tricky, Fan Ju's running position has changed, and he didn't have time to judge at all, so he was so light that Carlos Moya scored a point.

"It seems that the opponent still has a bit of kung fu on the hard court, and he can't come out without taking some real skills." The opportunity was seized lightly, and Fan Ju was not dissatisfied.

In fact, in his opinion, this ball was a mistake at all, not only did the angle of the retraction be smaller, but he didn't even bring the backhand cut that could be carried.

A top player, in the face of such a return, it is no wonder that he can easily play a large angle of active scoring, if he can't play, with the opponent's current ranking, it is really strange.

Moya's hard court attack is fast and direct, and he knows very well that his technique and opponent are not good at grinding on the baseline, especially the faster the opponent, the more he suffers, and in order to avoid falling into a hard battle, he will use his technical advantage to score directly from a wide angle.

Commonly used tactics can play a completely different effect on different players, the same forehand, Fan Ju and Carlos Moya play, are also completely different, the characteristics of the player determine the characteristics of the return, but also determine the direction of the game.

Carlos Moya wanted to play directly, and the more Fan Ju wanted to play with his opponent on the baseline, and the wide-angle attack did restrain his chances to reach the net in the opponent's service game.

If you don't put the ball, you don't take the initiative to step forward, and the time has not yet come to receive the serve to the net.

After grinding for a game, Carlos Moya gradually felt the difficulty of Fan Ju, and the catch on the bottom line gradually became heavier, which was not simply an increase in strength, the topspin ball that fell quickly after crossing the net made each ball full of weight, making it more and more difficult for him to return the ball.

However, Carlos Moya also has his own skills, a little lighter, the racket does not seem to use too much force, but the straight line of the front racket is drawn in a gentle arc and pressed straight along the sideline beyond the bottom line.

Fan Ju could only barely reflexively catch the ball, but he quickly turned around and didn't run, he knew that the ball must have flown off, and the opponent was not the kind of ordinary rookie who could be pressed with strength, Fan Ju knew very well, so he was not surprised.

"The first game is not bad, the power control zhì is quite stable, and the next game is time to exert force, otherwise it should be underestimated by the opponent." Fan Ju rubbed the racket, and the next time is the time to really show the results of his hard work on the field, the world's top 4? It's enough to be your goal! (To be continued......)
