What is the Rookie Wall? This saying comes from the professional basketball NBA. Players enter the league and compete smoothly at first, but at a certain point, they suddenly feel nothing. They can't make shots and lose their energy in the game. Tennis is different from basketball, but it has the same problem. However, unlike the wall of basketball, tennis is more powerful and more practical. Top200, top100, top50, top10, there are many outstanding players in each strength level. Your progress means surpassing them and defeating them. You will face great challenges every time. It can be said that Fan Ju has had a smooth journey since participating in the competition, and his early results were very dazzling among newcomers. When his ranking reached close to 50th, this wall naturally appeared in front of him. The "Tour Wall" is different from previous competitions. You can win the championship if you are strong enough. This is the top world. You cannot reach the top position and perform top + error-free status. If you want to take a peek at the championship title, that is wishful thinking. Now Fan Ju is in trouble. His ranking is still rising, but he is facing the result of either losing or being eliminated in the previous rounds. This is completely contrary to his mentality of competing for the championship. Especially in the game with Nalbandian a few days ago, Fan Ju encountered his first match where his opponent targeted his style of play. Physically speaking, Fan Ju can keep up, and his condition is adjusted well with the help of the team, but winning is something no one else can do for him. "To win games, you can only participate in more games. Currently, you don't see opportunities at the Masters level. Many players who are ranked in the top ten may not have won the title of Masters champion." Chet knew what Fan Ju was worried about. He explained. Looking for a close and exciting game? Isn¡¯t this a ** that wants to compete on the same level as those top players? Fan Ju¡¯s strength is not enough to reach that level, but he wants to make faster progress. Even if Fan Ju is mature, he will ignore the time needed to make up for the gap. Sometimes defeating the top does not mean reaching the top. Ordinary games may not be meaningless. Fan Ju is tired of ordinary games. It's not because his opponent is not strong enough, it's just that defeating his opponent prevents him from the excitement and passion of defeating the top players and competing with top players. This is a common problem among on-the-spot players. The stronger the opponent, the better the state. Fan Ju showed great state and strength when he played against the fourth-ranked Carlos Moya and had a fierce battle with Federer in front of the net. Completely different from other games. Fan Ju is not depressed. He always loses and never sees a chance to win, but this is also his fault. Not participating in anything other than the Masters or the Grand Slam has directly cut off his way to win the championship. You need to be patient before meeting a master. Roddick's style of play is simple, but at least he has good strength, but he has to kill Schalken first. This is a hard nut that stands in front of Fan Ju. In the second round of Xinxinti, it was still a lonely challenge. Perhaps feeling lonely is also due to the lack of company of friends. Laschet and others are more busy working. Unlike Nadal and Sharapova, there is more youth and laughter, which makes Fan Ju unable to be depressed even if he wants to. . Arriving at the arena, it was finally no longer the kind of small venue with spectators around the sidelines. The No. 12 seed was still a seeded player after all. The size of the sub-fields was not small. The cheering audience and the high atmosphere in the arena made Fan Ju couldn't help but find it. Got some feelings on the field. "We still have to win the game!" Holding the racket, throwing away those worries. Focusing on his own tactics, Fan Ju looked at his opponent. Schalken had a serious look on his face. At 193cm tall, he was still half a head taller than Fan Ju. His slender body still made Fan Ju feel stiff. Schalken was quite surprised to see Fan Ju. He met Fan Ju not long ago at the Queen's Cup. At that time, Fan Ju was completely different in terms of world ranking and performance on the field. The tactics have been adjusted and the style of play has been focused. In his team analysis, Fan Ju's serve and forehand are very powerful, and they have improved to a higher level than when they met him before. "Young people are progressing so fast." Schalken couldn't help but sigh. Even though he is only 27 years old now, for professional competitive players, his skills can no longer change much. It is also difficult to increase one's own strength by exercising muscle strength. Fan Ju served first. His serving status this week was very good. In the last game, his first-server goal rate reached 62%. This definitely broke his best record in the game. However, several double faults also really made it difficult for him to serve. He suffered some losses on serve. "Good shot!" Fan Ju felt good as soon as he hit the ball. He knew that this shot was definitely a success! The ball speed is not fast, and the time on the sidelines is?The number of 192 kilometers is displayed, which is very unusual. This number is very low in Fan Ju's first serve, but looking at Fan Ju's slamming swing, it doesn't look like an ordinary power-backed serve at all. Schalken didn¡¯t think so either, but his brain didn¡¯t have time to think. The first time the racket came into contact with the tennis ball, the heavy feel let him know that this ball was not an ordinary flat-hit ball. The height of the ball bounce made him feel very uncomfortable, and the angle between his hand and racket was unnatural. Fan Ju didn't make a second move. The net belt helped him complete the final interception. He made a heavy topspin serve and the bounce height was perfect. Even with Schalken's height, this height close to the shoulder would still make him He was very uncomfortable. Topspin serve is Fan Ju¡¯s long-hidden killer move. In the past, due to the first-serve scoring rate, it could only be used in flat-hit fast balls. But now, with the ever-increasing goal rate, his topspin serve has finally reached the 50% qualifying rate, which means that Fan Ju has another usable weapon on the hard court. Schalken also received Fan Ju's topspin serve in the past, which was heavy and jumping, but the current serve gave him a greater sense of threat. Unlike the speed and angle of high-speed cutting, high-quality topspin serves are That kind of extreme serve that even if you can catch it, you can't hit it back. When the weight brought by the rotation and the abnormal bounce height are combined with the speed angle, it becomes a deadly weapon. In the Sampras era, he relied on this kind of serve to make his opponents unable to do anything about his serve. What his opponents left for Sampras after receiving the serve were often low-quality returns that had no threat and could be easily connected. . This is an important reason why his first shot after serving is so threatening, because when he serves, he has already decided the final direction of the ball. The stiff Schalken was even more unable to cope with Fan Ju's serve. It was not that he couldn't return it, but he still couldn't produce any results. Fan Ju¡¯s tactics are very clear. When the opponent returns the ball, he does not need to consider directly choosing the opposite corner, or the direction of the opponent¡¯s center of gravity that has changed, and directly hits the return ball. As long as the quality of the serve is guaranteed, he does not have to worry that his opponent will hit too many high-quality direct returns. He does not need to think about it before reaching the net, making the entire service game extremely efficient. "Impossible! Why is this happening?" Schalken had the heart of "revenge", but the result of the first set made him unable to find the feeling of revenge. 6:2 Fan Ju, fiercely defeated in the first set. It dampened the opponent's momentum. In the 8 games, the serve was broken 3 times. Except for one counter-break by Schalken after the 4:0 game was decided, it can be said that he almost controlled the entire situation. "There are still 2 games left! The next game is done." Silently calculating his own speed limit, Fan Ju became more and more accustomed to the rhythm of facing opponents whose level was slightly higher than his own, but who could not suppress him. Schalken is certainly not easy to deal with. Fan Ju¡¯s topspin serve, forehand baseline, and even the net on hard courts may not be able to completely suppress his opponent. However, there is not much difference in strength between the two sides. It can even be said that after mastering the opponent's weaknesses, relying solely on baseline play and double-speed Fan Ju can also steal the opportunity to break serve from the opponent. Deducting the double speed in 2 rounds, Fan Ju still had two chances to enter a berserk state in the second set. The great thing about berserk is that he can control the entire game in his hands, and the longer he goes berserk, the longer he goes. As time goes by, Fan Ju's grasp of the game and ball feel becomes more accurate. During the match against Federer, he went on a rampage for 4 consecutive games, almost making Federer completely lose hope of counterattack. However, there are also disadvantages to running wild. In the early stage of running away, a long warm-up time is required. This warm-up is not the double speed, but a continuous process between the double speed and the double speed. Whether you are wiping sweat or waiting for your opponent to serve, in order to maintain the continuous acceleration of the brain, you cannot leave the double speed. This also means a lot of consumption outside the game, which has a big impact on the sustainability of the double speed in the game. It must last at least one round. This is what Fan Ju came up with after many rampage experiments. This also gave Fan Ju a new definition of rampage. ¡°In a best-of-three-set match, when facing an opponent who is slightly stronger than oneself, running wild will become a conventional weapon for breaking serve. When facing an opponent who is much stronger than oneself, running wild will become a means of surprise. When facing an opponent who is weaker than oneself, running away will become a means of surprise. When facing an opponent, Rampage only exists in a category that can be used, but may not be used. " Schalken is slightly stronger than Fan Ju. Fan Ju knows very well in the game that if he plays at one speed mixed with two times the speed, he may not be able to win. Contest. So he chose to break serve with a violent attack, using his own strength and double the speed to protect serve. This combination is very effective. Although it may not be successful every time he serves, a violent break directly makes the opponentHe mistakenly judged Fan Ju's strength. In his own serve game, Schalken also kept shrinking to the baseline, which gave Fan Ju's offense more advantages. The left and right maneuvers became more frequent, directly targeting Schalken's Achilles' heel! (To be continued)
