Fan Ju just cursed the arrangement of God. It was just a low-level match that he met an unknown opponent. If he couldn't even bear this, what would you do if you met the world's number one opponent in the first round? Kneel down and beg for mercy and then admit defeat?

There may be people who do this, but Fan Ju can't do such a shameful thing. He is lucky enough to draw byes in the qualifying round. Of course, it would be even better if the opponents in the first round of the main game were those opponents who were not very strong that he saw on the court.

Fan Ju didn't want to be relaxed all the way, it was so unchallenging. However, the first round was the key to whether he could get points. It was of course the best not to take risks, but he had to face it when he encountered it. The current situation was much better than that in China, where he could not even get a qualifying position.

After the qualifying competition, there was still one day before the main competition. However, on this day, Fan Ju neither went out to play nor went to inquire about his opponent's information. The places he spent the most throughout the day were the gym and the cinema in the hotel. Running and watching movies to relax his nerves, let himself be in a calm state, and spend a leisurely and long day.

"Sir, are you ready? The game is about to start in 10 minutes, and you can enter now." The 9 am game was slightly unfavorable for Fan Ju, who had just adjusted the jet lag for a few days. It was only four in the morning at this time in China.

Fan Ju adjusted the time difference for a few days and at most it only made his brain clear, but his body was a little uncomfortable. This was a bit of a loss compared to the European player Fan Ju.

Nodding to the staff, Fan Ju took the ball bag he had prepared long ago to walk towards his game stadium. There were still many players who were acting with Fan Ju. There were only 5 venues in Mombasa that can play. Today is the first day of the main game, so there are 16 games that need to be completed within one day today.

According to the schedule given by the tournament, the first game from 9:00 to 12:00 am, the second game is from 1:00 to 4:00 pm, and the third game after 4:00 is, and there will be a "final match" of the main stadium. To be honest, even if this game is played in the main stadium, Fan Ju is very sure that the game starting from 7:00 pm, no matter what time it ends, means that your body will be in an exciting stage when night falls.

Excitement status? Doesn’t it sound good, but don’t forget that excitement at night will mean fatigue the next day, and your opponent will have enough rest time tomorrow, so no matter which game you win or lose, it means a natural physical disadvantage the next day. If you are just a player who earns some points like Fan Ju, it’s fine. If you change to those players who want to win the championship, you must use the competition table to scold the streets.

Although the first game during the day was not the best, Fan Ju was lucky. After the game ended in the morning, there was enough rest time to reserve the physical fitness required for tomorrow's game. As the signs arrived at the stadium, Fan Ju sat in his rest area according to the instructions of the personnel in the stadium. Although the specifications were fine, because it was not a formal venue, there was no additional assistance provided to the players except for drinking water.

Before his opponent arrived, Fan Ju began to prepare to sort out the things for the competition. The competition didn't seem to be used for many things, but it was very particular, such as towels for sweat wiping, sports drinks for replenishing electrolytes and bananas or chocolate for replenishing energy.

Of course, more importantly, there are rackets, spare jerseys and sneakers, and even cooling sprays and bandages for emergency treatment of wounds. In short, no matter what situation you encounter on the court, the basketball bags around you must help you solve the problem and let you continue the game smoothly.

A brand new white background and blue striped Adidas tennis suit, and there are three brand new Will Sheng professional tennis rackets in the bag. Although the outfit is not conspicuous, both the jersey and the racket are the best things that Yan Ximu specially selected for Fan Ju.

The same sportswear, the set of Swen male seniors combined is only 2,000, and Fan Ju's sneakers alone are more than this.

The rackets are also selected from Will Sheng’s latest professional rackets. One pair costs more than $500. The rackets have been found in a special store and spent 300 yuan to debug each pair. The items prepared in the bag range from sweat towels to chocolates are all selected and purchased by Yan Ximu himself. Any defective ones should be replaced immediately. It is necessary to let Fan Ju compete in the best condition.

Seeing Sister Yan prepare the competition equipment carefully, Fan Ju felt warm. What else can he ask for with a wife like this? Although he is usually a little jealous, isn’t it all because of his love for himself?

"Sir! Sir! The game can begin, please prepare for pre-match preparations." Fan Ju thought about it and started to start again. It was not until someone reminded him that he realized that his game was about to start.

David Marlins Irish, with curly burgundy hair, looks quite old. Fan Ju saw at first sight that his opponent was very strong. Born in 1979, his body has been fully developed and mature. His strong arms can make the ball more lethal.

Of course, Fan Ju's health is not bad. Although he is not as developed as the white Europeans, his restrained muscles allow him to rotate strongly every time he hits. In the words of Coach Li, this kid's ball will jump faster and beat faster once it hits.

There is little information about the opponent, but before the game, Coach Li finally found some references. Mariins had already transferred to his career in 1999, but before 2002, he did not have a singles ranking, and his tennis career also started with doubles.

Before this, he had not participated in singles competitions, but he either failed to enter the main competition or was eliminated in the first round after entering the main competition. Obviously, for his career, such a beginning is not good, and it can even be described as bad.

But others can underestimate this kind of opponent. Mariins's previous competitions were all in Europe. Although the prize money for the future European competitions may not be much, the ranking of players who can directly participate in the main competition is usually not low. It is not surprising that any player with insufficient strength will be eliminated in the first round, not to mention that he has to be distracted from doubles, and it is even more difficult to get good results.

Judging from the information, this year, in order to achieve professional rankings, Mariins began to take the route of scoring abroad like Fan Ju. As of now, the results seem to be pretty good. Although he had not won the ranking before this game, he had already obtained his first ATP singles points in Rwanda half a month ago, becoming a professional player with both singles and doubles professional rankings.

...

On the other side of the court, Mariins looked at his opponent today and felt weird. He had never played tennis with yellow Asians. Of course, compared to meeting a European player, he felt that he was lucky today.

In this world, Fan Ju can't only check the information. Mariins also obtained information about Fan Ju from China. Of course, this information has no information about participating in the competition except for nationality and age.

A 17-year-old Asian boy with no professional experience in competition, Mariins' first feeling is luck. In his opinion, he has the opportunity to add some singles points to himself after the Jamaica game.

Fan Ju didn't know that he was underestimated. He was now doing a warm-up service before the game. Several months of training were not in vain. Fan Ju's serve had long been out of his initial predicament, or he had invested a lot of energy in serving to get rid of his ugly serving posture.

"The angle of the ball just now is out. It seems that the accuracy of serving today is not high enough." Fan Ju looked at the landing point of his serve just now, with two more ball positions from the serving boundary. In terms of deviation, it is 3 ball distance from the position he is about to play.

In daily training, Fan Ju's counterattack ball has been able to reach less than 2 balls, that is, when he hits the ball, the distance of the ball's landing point and his expected distance is less than 10 cm.

The accuracy of this landing point is not high, at least it is still a bit far from a real professional expert. Coach Li's comments have met the basic requirements of standard professional players. After all, training such as return accuracy requires long-term practice. No matter how fast Fan Ju masters the speed in other aspects, it is difficult to achieve a quick result at this point.

"The game begins, Mariins serves the game." After guessing the coin and deciding to serve and respond, the match between Fan Ju and Mariins will officially begin. Fan Ju lost because he guessed the coin and did not get the right to serve first. This is not a good idea. Of course, if the opponent can directly win this serve, he will definitely take the lead in taking the psychological advantage against Fan Ju, so that he will fight back more actively in Fan Ju's serve.

Even though there were not many people watching the game on the side of the main competition, most of the audience who bought tickets chose to enter the main stadium to watch the No. 1 seed player's game.

Fan Ju was left with only a few people on the sidelines, not even more people than the amateur tennis match in the school. After all, it doesn’t take much time to watch the game at school, but here you have to fly to Africa, and even if there are relatives and friends groups, there will not be too many.
