Christopher Veriggan stood by the side of the court. He was tall and looked at Fan Ju who walked into the court behind him. His appearance, height, and nothing special seemed to be seen. However, the media interviewed him today wanted to bring the topic to this Asian?

"I am a seed player, and I think my opponent should be in the final." Christopher did not make any concessions to the media's temptation. He explained the current reality. He was higher in ranking. It is unfair to compare the second seed and a qualifier at the same level.

His opponent should be in the finals. At the age of 21, he is full of confidence. The results he has won on the tour give him full confidence. He believes that he will move towards a higher ranking. No matter how Soderin, Gasquet, or Fan Ju in front of him, it cannot be an obstacle to him.

Confident Christopher sorted out his ball gear, while Fan Ju was using his limited time to observe his opponent today.

Very tall, very thin, with clear muscle lines and no excess fat. His slightly tanned skin means that he has not stopped training during the offseason. A young player who is self-disciplined and self-reliant and in the rising period has obvious advantages, but is not invincible.

Fan Ju knew very well what the difference between himself and his opponent was. He was stronger than his opponent and was slightly shorter than his opponent. This was not a problem. Since the opponent was taller than him, he would send some low balls over to make it more difficult for the opponent to play.

While calculating, the audience on the sidelines had already completed the final entry. Besanson's tennis atmosphere was very strong. A game of the No. 2 seed against new and young players received great attention. The court of almost 3,000 people was filled with more than 60%, and two thousand people actually entered the game to watch the second round of the challenge.

Tickets for European Challenge Tournament are not expensive. Comparing to the difference in position, this kind of ordinary game is only about 10 euros, and the tickets for the audience alone can earn almost 20,000 euros. For an event with a total investment of only 37,500 US dollars, the tickets for this game alone are enough to recover more than half of the investment costs.

"The European competition is so crazy!" Fan Ju also had a lot of spectators in the first game, but because the number of spectators in a small venue was limited, only 500 people could enter the field to watch the game.

However, in the match against the second seed, the venue arranged is definitely the best main venue. Fan Ju originally thought that it would be nice to have 1,000 people in the second round of the competition.

But he misjudged the popularity of tennis in Europe. When the finals, when two strong players meet in the finals, there will definitely be people who play their signatures and wait for high-priced tickets outside the court just to enter the court to watch a wonderful "peak" showdown.

The referee was in the middle, Fan Ju and Christopher Veriggan stood on both sides respectively. As the coins that fell were throwing high, a hint of undetectable smile appeared on the corner of Christopher's mouth.

"Christopher's starting game, please ask both of you to enter the court to warm up." The referee confirmed the result again to both sides and determined the final serving order.

Fan Ju felt something was wrong in his heart. He was not worried that he would lose confidence after losing one game first, but he learned from Laschet that this player's serve was very European and did not like American players to pursue cannon-type high-speed serves. Instead, it combined the advantages of speed, landing points and rotation.

If you meet a European player who is good at fighting on clay, please be careful of his high-speed cut serve. These serves seem to be unfast, but the arc in the air is very easy to cause serious misjudgment of the receiver's landing point. There will be a larger outer angle in clay bounce, which makes people unable to defend against.

Fan Ju's crescent serve is in this category. Of course, Fan Ju likes to add some of his own things, such as the rotation he is good at, which makes the ball more curved, but it is still the same in essence. However, European players like to weaken this kind of cut serve, which improves the advantage of speed.

But Fan Ju went the other way. He pursued a larger rotational arc, and his speed was only maintained above 150 kilometers. This was also the basis for him to call his cut-offs a crescent moon serve. He hoped that one day his serve could reach the crescent moon in the sky and draw a charming arc in the air.

The sun in the sky is not hot, and it is still a little cold in playing ball in March. The warm-up activity made Fan Ju regain some warmth. He felt that it was a mistake to come to Europe in March. At this time, Europe did not have the spring atmosphere at all. If the temperature at around 10 degrees is not shining on the sun, the wind would tremble.

Fan Ju envied those long-haired Europeans, as if they were wearing more than him. Anyway, he could not do the trick of wearing a thin shirt to go out in such weather. However, for these local French people, let alone thin shirts, Fan Ju saw someone hanging out wearing short-sleeved shirts on the road.

Belgium is further north of France, Christopher is very adapted to this kind of weather. The temperature here is slightly warmer than his hometown. The slight warm-up has caused him to sweat slightly. This feeling is very good. His moving shoulders make it easier for him to exert strength.

"Sure enough!" Fan Ju couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he looked at Laiqiu.

After the warm-up, Christopher started with a serve with a speed of up to 210 kilometers per hour.

Fan Ju was not polite to the opponent who needed to win. He didn't plan to tell his opponent anything humble. He had already activated his superpowers to adapt to the opponent's rhythm when warming up. However, when this serve came to his eyes, Fan Ju's speed had automatically changed to 2 times, but it was reduced by half the speed, which was still a beautiful serve worthy of applause.

The speed is very fast, but this is not a problem. After deceleration, the ball's speed is reduced to a range of 100 kilometers. However, the serve that was originally directly on the right side of the serving area drew a small arc in the air, pressing just at that very small corner position, making the ball deeper and more difficult to deal with after bounce.

"I hate tall guys!" Fan Ju didn't care what his other friend Isner would think, but Fan Ju sincerely hated this opponent who was 10 cm taller than him.

The height of 193 cm gives Christopher's serve a better serve landing point and acceleration, which also allows him to maintain an extremely high serving speed and relatively stable goal rate after having a stable cutting action.

At that time, Fan Ju spent on how much effort he spent to stabilize his serve with cutting and spinning, but so far, his goal rate can only hover below 50%. Although such a goal rate in the game is enough, Fan Ju still has a lot of room for improvement in terms of the threat of serving.

It is not empty talk about the tall serving. Although Isner, who is 208 cm, has not yet entered the profession, his stable serving speed has been mentioned above 220 kilometers. It is definitely a big killer on the court. As long as other techniques are improved, it will be fine to enter the TOP50 with just this skill.

In the serving statistics where the average serve can be maintained at a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour, Isner's serving success rate can be as high as 60%. For Fan Ju, this is the most terrifying place, which means that their opponents must always be wary of ACE balls over 220 kilometers, while also having to withstand the big advantage from these giants' second beat to suppress the attack!

Fan Ju is not as tall as this. Even if he can play a faster serve, he will not do this. It is not a matter of serving speed, but Fan Ju knows very well that serving at high speed is a very shoulder-intensive technique. Fan Ju does not have the advantage of height to provide him with additional acceleration. If you want to play a world-class high-speed serve at a height of 184, it means a shortening of your career.

He is a "smart person", so he is willing to choose what he is good at to avoid this disadvantage, but he has to admit that serving is very advantageous, and even facing his double-speed ability, he can often gain the advantage.

Christopher suppressed Fan Ju with his first serve advantage. Even though his opponent's high quality of receiving serve surprised him, his serve advantage still exists.

Watching the high-quality return shot that was accurately hit by Fan Ju's hand-ext, Christopher was no longer surprised. Since the first serve, Fan Ju took the opportunity to get a point, his placement has become faster and more careful.

After running, he had a strong forehand spinning up with one blow and swung in the opposite direction of Fan Ju's running. Fan Ju, who was hurriedly adjusting the direction, was once again "played" by his opponent after receiving the call. The opponent obviously did it on purpose. In fact, hitting the other side with the backhand can produce a better pressing effect, but he chose these dangerous balls to tease Fan Ju's reaction nerves.

"So I hate tall guys, and they are tall guys who are handsome!" Fan Ju barely received the ball again and was misplaced by his opponent. He wanted to smash the latest racket sponsored by Weirsheng to the ground as his opponent's head. The opponent's strength is indeed admirable. He used his strength well to suppress Fan Ju's intention to counterattack in the serve.
