Chapter 149 The arrival of a new era

After swinging the last beat, Fan Ju finally breathed a sigh of relief. He won two sets cleanly. Is there anything else that can face a strong opponent and win such a refreshing victory?

The second game with Albert allowed Fan Ju to find his own confidence. With the same supernatural powers and the same opponents, he can become stronger than in the past with changes and progress in the game...

Everyone was the opponent during the game, but after the game, they were just ordinary people. After shaking hands and accepting the opponent's blessing, Fan Ju held up the racket and expressed his excitement to the audience on the sidelines.

"Is another semi-final four..."

In a certain office in China, several people sat together, one of them holding a fax in his hand. From the English look, it can be seen that it was sent from the Atp headquarters.

"What should we do, leader? Should we make up for the things? Where can we still have some funds in the career department? Should we prepare in advance?" Someone's growth rate was so fast that it made several people unable to react.

Since the last Fan Ju incident, the Internet Management Center has never ignored this young player favored by international brokerage companies.

However, Fan Ju's progress really made them who were used to slow pace unable to keep up. As soon as the New Year was over, the "good news" had been passed back one after another.

The results of a runner-up in a future tournament and a three future tournament championship cannot shake the network management center. No matter how sluggish domestic tennis is, several future tournament champion trophies can still be obtained.

But when Fan Ju won the first European Challenge Championship, these domestic tennis masters who were originally sitting firmly seemed to have fleas under their butts and could no longer sit still.

One championship, two semi-finals. In any case, this is no longer something that can be described by chance and luck. Even the banned drug incident at the front-end time was suppressed because of that championship result.

People who are in the system can understand nothing, but they must know how to master the degree. Once someone breaks out of your control, there are so many polite things. It is still very necessary to consider more gains and losses.

"Wait a little longer, wait until he returns to China. The bonus funds will go from the center headquarters." The leader sitting in the first place made a decision. Although he was criticized by the General Administration of Sports for Fan Ju's affairs some time ago, now is not the time to hold revenge.

The few people below nodded and left the center's accounts. This reflects the center's attention. After all, the occupational department is just a small department. Since you want to give it away, the specifications naturally need to be higher.

"So the certificate?" This is a problem. The network management center does not have the qualifications to provide first-level athletes or above certificates. At that level, it is not something that can be awarded in ordinary domestic competitions.

"Of course, you are athletics. By the way, you have to prepare for international athletes in advance. The invitation to Davis Cup next year can also be sent out. Ask the domestic competition by the way, if he doesn't want to play, don't force it." The leader said that he completely set Fan Ju's position in the network management center, which means he is the ancestors' tribute. As long as Fan Ju doesn't want to, don't force it.

In fact, many domestic competitions are currently under the current "requirements". Independent athletes like Fan Ju are not qualified even if they want to participate. Unless Fan Ju is willing to take the initiative to give out half of their income and hand over all the business decisions to the network management center, they can make a decision together.

Img Company would not agree that such a thing happened, and Fan Ju would not do so. The discussions of several people seemed very cautious, but in fact they had little to do with Fan Ju who was in Italy.

"The No. 1 seed was eliminated?" If the No. 1 seed performs normally in a game, it means that his chance of winning will be higher. The ranking does not fully represent strength, but being able to be in the No. 1 seed means that he is not a weak person who can easily defeat him.

Nadal eliminated the second seed, and Fan Ju was not surprised at all. Just like he also eliminated the fifth seed. Both of them were alternatives in the challenge competition, with low rankings, but their strength reached the level of a seed player.

After reading the competition list and the past results of the winner, Fan Ju couldn't help but shake his head. As expected, he was a "veteran who never died". Even if these veterans who were once ranked fell due to various reasons, as long as you give him a chance in the game, you will definitely be surprised.

Albert's precise cutting of the ball in the whole game made Fan Ju feel incredible now. Every player who climbs to the high position has his own unique strength.

However, old players cannot always dominate the tennis world, just like the current semi-finals.

Those who can reach the semi-finals must have good strength, but the semi-finals of this challenge are a bit special. It may be because it rains or the high-ranking players encountered strong enemies too early.

Among the four players entering the semi-finals, they couldn't even see a seed player, which sounded incredible, but after seeing the roster of the competition and past results, it was a bit natural.

Of the four people entering the semi-finals, of course, were Fan Ju and Nadal. These two young men played strong in their respective semi-groups.

Fan Ju eliminated the No. 5 seed in 2 sets and maintained the score of two sets sweeping since the start of the game. This strong performance made the media concerned about this game believe that Fan Ju has great hope of winning the championship, especially after sending his opponent File Povolandri from the previous stop, his competitive state is in an excellent state, and there is no doubt that he has no doubt.

Nadal's slow heat up makes his game state difficult to improve very quickly, but his tenacious counterattack and his stronger playing form are difficult opponents that can make his opponent fear.

If you can't defeat him in two sets, then wait for him to reverse and counterattack by him in the third set. This is the best reminder that many of them have ever fought against Nadal.

"It's really surprising. The two biggest favorites to win the championship are actually young people under the age of 18. Does this indicate that a new era in professional tennis has begun?" Fan Ju couldn't understand Italian, but he had two good translators around him, especially Katrina. The rhythm of the translation is almost synchronized with the pictures on the TV.

Everyone has their own expertise. Fan Ju's language skills after he was born are good, but he cannot achieve simultaneous translation level, and even the most familiar Chinese and English translations cannot.

The TV shows were broadcasted by the Italian local sports station, and the host was comparing Van Ju Nadal with two other contestants.

Unlike Fan Ju and the others, the other two players are not young. Even if the 28 and 29-year-olds can still sprint upward, they have not had much time left.

"It's not that the new era is accompanied by newcomers, but that the newcomers have promoted the new era. Fan Ju's future tennis will belong to yours." Raschet was also watching the show, and immediately followed the host and expressed his feelings.

The progress of rackets may indeed have promoted changes in professional tennis, but it does not mean that the players' strength will be immediately changed.

The players are gradually adapting to new rackets, new tactics, faster serves, stronger topspin, and more changes. This is the same as in the past tennis world, but it is somewhat different. In the eyes of coaches like Laschet who have experienced two eras, the essence is the same.

"Yes, that's our era." Fan Ju lay on the bed with his hands behind his head, looking at the ceiling, and he imagined the final between the day after tomorrow and Nadal.

There is also an opponent in the round, but Fan Ju has already analyzed his opponent's playing style and situation. Like the No. 1 seed, he is a short player. Compared with Fan Ju who is 184 cm, the 175 cm opponent is indeed too short.

The opponent is very good at running and even won a tour championship in a clay event in the "old era" with his running and hitting ability.

With this championship, his career rankings were close to top 50, but unfortunately, after that, he began to decline, and it was also the time for the times to change.

Who is the most harmful to the ball's speed becomes faster on the court? The answer is obvious, those players who originally played with their feet.

The same bats have a reaction time of 0.5 seconds or even more, which has forced them to increase their speed, improve their reactions, and improve all their techniques.

The rackets can be constantly innovated and become stronger, and the players' reflex nerves can also be continuously improved with the rackets, but the speed under the feet is limited. No matter how fast the lateral movement on the field is, it is impossible to leave that range.

Only by having stronger ability to predict in advance can we adapt to this era and gradually be abandoned by the times by passive pursuit of the ball. They are still tennis masters and can still survive in professional tennis.

But it is easier to hit the ceiling at the top, and it becomes a long way to go to break through this obstacle with simple speed.

"The only ones who can stand at the top of the tennis world in the future are all-round players, faster, stronger and more comprehensive." This is the words of Old Nick. This old man in his 70s has seen the future of the tennis world and is also working hard on this aspect.

Fan Ju knew that Old Nick had nothing to say. If you want to stand in the tennis world, you must not only have these, but also have a natural excellent sense of ball and a smart brain that can calculate the opponent's return line when swinging the ball.

He is not as good as having the best talent, but his learning ability is quite fast, and he can absorb and learn more ways to play and integrate into his own skills after a game.

Fan Ju also has double-speed abilities that others do not have, which can make up for his lack of ball sense and prediction, and allows him to have the ability to be a peak player.

Raschet left, Katrina also left after saying goodbye. Fan Ju lay alone on the bed, her eyes closed, but her mind was full of pictures when she was practicing with Nadal. He always felt that it was a little bit worse, but he never found where it was.
