Reborn Almighty Life

【0166】 Fateful duel

Gu Fei was lying on the large and comfortable first-class seat, feeling so comfortable that he wanted to moan. Outside the porthole beside him, a sky full of yellow sand suddenly appeared in the blue sea and sky.

Emirates flights specially circle over Dubai to allow passengers to enjoy the spectacular scene of the intersection of sand and sea. This is also a reserved project of Emirates.

Although the flight he took was an ordinary Boeing 747, Gu Fei could still feel the style of the wealthy people of later generations.

Whether it was the large leather seats that could be slept on, the Dolby 5.0 audio and video system, the reclining or the steak set menu, Gu Fei felt that this trip was very comfortable!

In order to invite Gu Fei, the new Australian Open champion, the organizing committee of the Golden Match Dubai Station offered Gu Fei an appearance fee of US$200,000, which also included free first-class round-trip air tickets for four attendants.

You must know that the total prize money of the Dubai Gold Tournament is only one million US dollars, with the champion receiving US$500,000. The organizing committee can provide Gu Fei with such generous treatment, and naturally it will not be stingy with other players.

Gu Fei received the news that 16 of the top 100 ATP men's players, including Federer, the top seed in the tournament, rushed to Dubai for the high bonuses and appearance fees.

You know, the prize money of the Dubai Tour is only lower than that of the Masters and the Grand Slam, and the 30 championship points are only comparable to the Barcelona Station.

This is also the style of the wealthy people in Dubai (Middle East), spending money to create world-class events!

When Gu Fei arrived at Dubai International Airport, a Rolls-Royce motorcade prepared by the organizing committee drove onto the tarmac to pick up Gu Fei. The treatment was astonishingly high.

But it’s normal to think about it. Emirates is the main sponsor of the Dubai Tour, and its main base is Dubai International Airport. It’s easy to get some privileges on its own territory.

Although Dubai is not yet a first-tier super city in the world in the future, its population of millions and the huge wealth brought by oil still make the whole city look vibrant.

Gu Fei knew that starting from this year, Dubai would begin to accelerate its economic transformation, reduce its dependence on the oil industry, and finally embark on a development path that the whole world cannot imitate.

In order to win the attention of the world, Dubai's tycoons will make countless eye-catching moves, which have had a huge impact on a global scale.

In 2005, during the Dubai Golden Match, the exhibition match between Federer and Agassi on the tarmac of the Burj Al Arab Hotel made Dubai even more popular.

There are 56 players participating in the main draw of the Dubai Tour. The top eight seeded players have a bye in the first round and directly enter the second round. The remaining 48 players will fight against each other to determine the top 24, and then compete with the seeded players.

Competition, the second round will determine the top 16!

Although Gu Fei was suspended from competing for nearly a month, his condition did not fluctuate at all and he easily passed the test and reached the finals.

The opponent in the final is the top seed player in the tournament, the Swiss King Federer, who was ranked fifth in the ATP last week.

Federer, who was born on August 8, 1981, has made considerable progress in professional tennis for five years. Although he has not yet won a major championship, his elegant playing style has given him a large number of fans and is favored by sponsors.

.

Neither the media nor the fans expected that in the next few years, these two players with similar playing styles would present the most exciting showdown to the world and promote tennis to a certain extent.

This encounter is a classic!

The three-set match between Gu Fei and Federer lasted for nearly three hours. In the end, Gu Fei won the tie-break in the third set, winning the first Golden Match championship in his career and adding another 30 ATP points.

Shaking hands after the game, Federer looked at Gu Fei, who was younger than him, with extremely complicated emotions!

After all, it has been more than four years since he entered the professional tennis world, but he still has not been able to win a Grand Slam championship trophy. Gu Fei has become a Grand Slam winner just after he entered the industry, which is really enviable.

Is it true that only Grand Slam champions can bring out champions?

At this time, Federer came up with the idea of ​​hiring a retired Grand Slam winner as a coach!

…………

After winning the Dubai Tour, Gu Fei took home the championship bonus of 500,000 US dollars and the appearance fee of 200,000 US dollars. In just one week, he earned a huge amount of wealth that ordinary people cannot earn in a lifetime. This is a top athlete.

earning capacity.

Of course, the prize money of the vast majority of low-level tennis players cannot cover the high travel expenses. They can only compete desperately and try to make ends meet through attendance.

In previous lives, the suspension of events during the epidemic put the lives of many players above the top 100 in the ATP rankings in trouble. It has to be said that tennis is a sport at the top of the pyramid.

Officials from the Dubai Tour Organizing Committee promised Gu Fei that if he can win the Grand Slam championship this year, the appearance fee will increase. They hope that Gu Fei will make Dubai a fixed venue for competition every year.

Gu Fei would not object to this. Although the weather in Dubai Station is relatively harsh, the five-star service throughout the journey and the many points earned make it a good choice.

What's more, Gu Fei knows that Dubai will have many amazing marketing plans in the future, and being able to participate in them will also be of great help to his global promotion strategy!

This time, only the Becker trio and Li Zhengyong followed Gu Fei to Dubai. Next, Gu Fei and his team will take an Emirates flight to fly directly to the United States to prepare for the Indian Wells Masters starting on March 10.

After winning the Dubai Gold Match, Gu Fei's ATP ranking has taken a step further and has broken into the top 30 of the ATP. This is also related to the fact that he has no pressure to maintain points.

This also means that Gu Fei can actively qualify for any ATP event without the need for invitations or wild cards from the event organizing committee.

Ranking changes outside the top 10 in international tennis are very drastic. As long as you win a championship, it is common for your ranking to rise by one or two hundred places overnight.

Gu Fei won the Australian Open championship and 200 points. In the second week, his world ranking soared by more than 300 places. It can be said that he reached the sky in one step!

Now, Gu Fei is attacking to a higher position!

…………

When Gu Fei and his party boarded the flight to Los Angeles, Yuan Fei, Li Zhengbao, Zhang Benqiang and a handsome middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses also set off from Binhai Jiangdong International Airport to meet Gu Fei on the other side of the ocean.

The Dubai Gold Tournament is just a place for Gu Fei to test his skills. The real test is still in the North American continent. Two consecutive Masters tournaments will become a training ground for many ATP players.

As the most developed country in tennis, North America has a large number of events. However, now Gu Fei only needs to focus on the top events above the tour, which is his final battlefield.

Gu Fei's wonderful performance in the Dubai Gold Match has not escaped the attention of the media and opponents. After all, the new Australian Open champion is shining like a firefly in the dark night.

War clouds are gathering and it's about to break out!
