Chapter 191: Provocation in the Air
PS: It's been a week since December, thank you for the monthly ticket to the soul, thank you for listening to the night rain, Xiaochi fish, gluttony, bookworm love master for the reward, and the monthly pass support of book friends such as Little Tiger Cat!
Nadal actually wanted to participate, but Tony Nadal stopped him, after all, Nadal's old injury has just healed, and it will take some time to fully recover.
The French Open is a very intense tournament, and it is not a wise choice to increase the number of matches in order to adapt to the venue.
Fan Ju did not have this consideration, on the contrary, he still had some "fear" of grass, if it was a hard court game, it would not be difficult to regain confidence by relying on the feeling of previous training.
But on the grass, he is too unfamiliar, even if many people are very optimistic about his serve on the grass, this is still too unfamiliar to Fan Ju after all.
June 2 was Nadal's birthday and the day Fan Ju was eliminated at the French Open, but the stubborn bull was not happy for a few days, and was swept out by Ferrero and had to accompany Fan Ju on his trip to the UK.
Speaking of Wimbledon, of course, we can't forget the other person, Sharapova, who is also in the UK at this time, but unlike Fan Ju and Nadal, who only have to train in London while waiting for the match.
Sharapova had to leave for Birmingham to compete in the tournament to get the final points and qualify for the tournament.
That's right, Sharapova is no longer the same as she was, not that she has changed as a person, but in terms of rankings, she already has the WTA125 ranking, and she can already hit up again and complete the final sprint in the rankings!
"I'm going to win this time, at least...... At least 100 people should be entered. I don't want to play in a nasty qualifier again. Sharapova complained on the phone, and Fan Ju listened patiently on the other side, agreeing from time to time. Give the other person a word of encouragement.
Fan Ju also knows the trouble of qualifying, not only does he consume his body before the main game, but he also does not have any points, and the opponent has a little strength.
Fan Ju did not participate in many qualifying tournaments, and it was only one after coming to Europe. However, just one game is enough, and in contrast, he still prefers the lively atmosphere of the main game.
"Come on. Make this game your final qualifier. Fan Ju encouraged Sava in Birmingham.
Hanging up the phone, Fan Ju sighed, everyone has their own path to follow, and Sharapova wants to welcome her new beginning. And rely on rankings on their own. Going straight to the Queen's Cup, isn't it a new beginning?
Having already competed in a Grand Slam, Fan Ju is still participating in the tour for the first time, and from June 9, there will be four grass court tournaments before Wimbledon starts, and players who qualify for Wimbledon will choose one of these events to adjust their match. Welcome to the Grass Grand Slam Feast.
In the past, Wimbledon was Sampras's world, from 93 to 2000 for 8 years. In addition to the surprise loss of the title by Frenchman Richard Cragisset in '96, the king has won seven Wimbledon Grand Slams, showing his unparalleled dominance on grass.
"Mr. Fan Ju, do you have any confidence in the first round of the Madi Fish, the famous tennis commentator XXX is very much looking forward to your style of play in front of the net in this tournament and in Wimbledon afterward." After the French Open, Fan Ju's interview basically never stopped, just like a sudden attack in front of him, no matter how thorough IMG's preparation is, there will be fish that will slip through the net.
"He's a big fish and I think I'm going to have to prepare well and thanks to the crowd who supported me, I think I'll do my best on the pitch to play every game." Formulaic answer, as for the big fish, it is purely the nickname of Madi Fish, Fish and fish have the same sound, and the media often use Big Fish as a synonym for Madi Fish.
……
"Honorie, I just accepted a temporary interview with a media, it's okay, just two sentences, I left first without waiting for him to ask anything else, yes, it's the two sentences used in the previous interview, what media? It seems to be XXXX, a small newspaper in London, okay I know. ”
After accepting the visit, Fan Ju immediately called Honoré to contact, this French dude is now serving as Fan Ju's temporary press assistant, and finally got into the position of supervisor, and was kicked to Fan Ju's side before his ass was hot, replacing Rembrandt, who had flown back to the United States, to deal with a lot of media troubles for Fan Ju.
The higher the attention, the hotter it will be, and when the results of the third round of the French Open are finalized, it also means that IMG's global propaganda offensive against Fan Ju is launched at the same time.
IMG has a lot of experts in this area, but if you want to say that you are familiar with Fan Ju and can be transferred immediately, there is really only one acquaintance of Honori.
Honoré is comfortable in France, but in addition to matchmaking, his original journalist nature is revealed, this guy is naturally a character suitable for wandering outside, and he can't do the role of commanding his subordinates in the office.
Although Fan Ju is low-key, there is never a shortage of news, good competition results, all kinds of bizarre titles, and even a magazine with friends and rivals can make an uproar, without arranging a professional media assistant, I really can't put my mind at ease.
"Hopefully it's not a bad draw...... Fan Ju's draw position this time is 7, with 56 players participating in the Queen's Cup, the top eight seeds have byes, and the third round will face the top 1 seed, which is not too good.
The No. 13 seed in the reporter's mouth, Madi Fish, who is currently ranked 50th in the world, is the opponent of Fan Ju in the first round, born in December 81, and is now only 21 and a half years old.
And the more such a match, the more it will become the news in the hands of the media who like to compare the players, just like Fan Ju and Nadal, Fan Ju in the third round, Nadal in the fourth round, Ferrero who eliminated Nadal eliminated Gonzalez and finally won the championship, and these results have become evidence in the mouth of the media, proving that Angel Nadal is stronger on clay than Fan Ju, the devil.
But who is stronger between Fan Ju and Nadal? This is really not an easy question to answer, especially after elimination, the two came to London to prepare for the game, and they played each other on the field a lot of times.
On clay courts, Nadal won 6 percent, Fan Ju 4 percent, but on hard courts, Nadal only had 3 percent, Fan Ju was 7 percent.
Fan Ju on the grass does not need to use net tactics, Fan Ju has become 6 into Nadal 4 into 4 into it, on the whole, or Fan Ju is more dominant, the disadvantage of clay is that after he finds his own rhythm and learns more from the experience of his opponents, he is no longer completely behind Nadal, at least relying on his style of play, he already has the strength to fight for victory and defeat in the main match.
Even Nadal, who is still ranked higher than Fan Ju, doesn't want to admit that if he only talks about improving his ranking, Fan Ju may rush faster and higher than himself.
Because he can only achieve a big advantage on clay, but Fan Ju's court is very comprehensive, and Fan Ju on hard courts is like a whirlwind sweeping, fast, faster, very fast rhythm attack, so that Nadal can feel the suffocating pressure when receiving the ball.
"If the shot can be stronger, then the lethality of the shot will be greater than that of getting better." Nadal is outspoken, and Fan Ju is not only a good friend and big brother in his eyes, but also a respectable opponent.
Compared to Nadal, who had just stepped into professional tennis and began to show his style, Madi Fish has entered professional tennis for the third year.
Unlike Fan Ju's ranking, which is like riding a rocket, Maddy Fish's progress is not slow, but it is orderly, and he is improving at a stage every year.
"Fish, you have to be careful with your opponent, not only the net and the hair, you have to stick to your bottom line, if you let him seize the opportunity on the bottom line, you will play very passively!" Coach Mark Norris pointed out a lot about Fan Ju's previous games, but it was not enough, he still didn't see where Fan Ju's ability was at the bottom.
Fan Ju has not participated in any tournaments, which means that Fan Ju does not have much video material to refer to, and the French Open did allow Fan Ju to show his strength, but this is only on clay.
Compared with the slower clay, the Fan Ju style of play is a more lethal weapon on the faster court, and every professional who has seen the Fan Ju style of play will have a hunch.
The kind of quick and agile sudden attack with the net, solid baseline defense, good serve and hidden diagonal change of direction are all weapons that can be lethal on a fast course!
Fan Ju's spinning skills are well suited to clay, and he has a powerful weapon on a fast course, and this combination combined with the age of 18 will make it easy to win the top 10 rankings in five years, and the only doubt may be how long it will take him to reach that height and complete the leap from the top to the next level.
"Don't worry, coach, I'll be careful." Born in Minnesota, Maddy Fish's 188-centimeter tall and muscular figure makes him very confident in himself.
Fan Ju? Maybe a tough opponent, maybe he's beaten some high-ranked seeds on clay, Magician Santoro? He knocked out his opponent in the first round of the Masters a month ago, and he knocked out fifth seed Carlos Moya in two consecutive tournaments at the beginning of the year.
Young Madhifish is undoubtedly proud, and this pride even shows that in his interview with reporters, the proud American young man is like a young lion with a mane, there is nothing terrible in this world for him, and the only thing he has to do is to wait for himself to become stronger to challenge the lion king and take the throne of the leader.
"Nobody in the world can catch all the serves, and if anybody can do that, then it's not strong enough, and I believe that when you hit a perfect serve from a 120 mile angle, no one can make that ball a perfect score!"
Like a war letter, Maddy Fish is very unpleasant to Fan Ju, but since the match between Fan Ju and Chilean artillery Gonzalez, he has not dared to question Fan Ju's ability to receive hair, and Maddy Fish is undoubtedly hitting the muzzle of the gun. (To be continued......)
