Reborn Almighty Life
[0598 chapter] Getting better monthly pass and
Gu Fei easily passed the fourth round of the French Open, while other high-ranking seeded players fought for the other 15 top 16 spots, and the French Open entered its most exciting stage.
The showdown between Ferrero, the former French Open champion, and Hewitt, the former Wimbledon champion, is known as the afterglow of fallen superstars. The two superstars who successively ascended to the world's No. 1 throne after the millennium have presented themselves in recent years.
The downward trend has been reduced to varying degrees, which is very disappointing.
Coincidentally, the rise and fall of the two superstars are directly related to Gu Fei, and their experiences in the past few years are also a microcosm of the current men's tennis world.
Hewitt was defeated by Gu Fei in the first round of the 2003 Australian Open. That match shocked the world and became a turning point in Hewitt's career.
Gu Fei, who was able to participate in the Australian Open as a wild card in the qualifying round, won three games in a row in the qualifying round. He entered the main draw of the Grand Slam tournament for the first time in his career, and met the top seed in the first round and was ranked No. 1 in the world.
local superstar Hewitt.
Before the game started, no one thought that Gu Fei, who came out of the tennis desert area, could pose any threat to Hewitt. All the media had always believed that the top seed would have a relaxed and enjoyable exhibition match.
Although the age difference between the two players is not much different, Hewitt became famous at a young age. As early as 2001, he defeated Sampras to win the Grand Slam for the first time, and at the end of the year became the youngest world number one in ATP history.
He was only 20 years and 8 months old at that time. And now
When Gu Fei had just finished his college entrance examination, Hewitt won the Wimbledon championship, taking a big step towards becoming the world champion. At the end of 2002, Hewitt retained the title of world number one at the end of the year, and Gu Fei had just won the championship at this time.
Just participated in the Hope Tournament organized by the International Tennis Federation.
The resumes of the two players make it impossible for people to see that Gu Fei has any possibility of winning. Everyone is unanimously optimistic that Hewitt can successfully pass the test, win the Grand Slam in his hometown, and take a step closer to the throne of the golf king.
However, when the game ended, media reporters and fans around the world were stunned!
Gu Fei defeated Hewitt 3:0. He didn't give Hewitt any chance in the whole game. It can be said that he completely suppressed him!
In this way, the fledgling Gu Fei announced his arrival to the world with a perfect victory, and then he went all out to reach the Australian Open finals.
In the final, facing the Golden Slam winner Andre Agassi, Gu Fei was not afraid and won the Grand Slam championship for the first time with a crisp victory. Gu Fei's young smile and Agassi's lonely back became the memories of that game.
Give the world the deepest impression.
Taking the 2003 Australian Open as a boundary, Gu Fei and Hewitt's tennis careers went in completely different directions. Gu Fei gradually rose to the top of the world, while Hewitt was struggling.
In the following four years, Gu Fei almost monopolized the four Grand Slam championships and most of the Masters trophies. Hewitt, who was even more powerful, could only fight desperately with other players in some second-level events, struggling to maintain his position.
The world ranking does not drop.
Even so, due to injuries and playing style, Hewitt's condition has declined sharply in recent years. He only participated in this French Open as the 14th seed, which is not the same as his ranking as the world's No. 1 player that year.
language.
At this French Open, Hewitt is in good form, winning three consecutive games and reaching the top 16. His opponent in the fourth round is another world No. 1 after Hewitt, the King of Spain Ferrero!
Ferrero is Gu Fei’s only Grand Slam champion in the four years since his rise, and his French Open championship in 2003 is even more valuable!
In the French Open semi-finals in 2003, Ferrero, who was in his prime, met the powerful Gu Fei. Relying on his rich experience and more physical strength, he defeated Gu Fei 3:2 in a long battle that lasted more than five hours.
, and had the last laugh in the finals.
At that time, the Spaniard was known as the "King of Clay". People were exclaiming that a clay court master had ascended to the world's No. 1 throne, and even speculated whether he would become the new ruler of men's tennis? As for the semifinals?
Gu Fei, who lost to Ferrero, performed well in the two Grand Slam tournaments, but after all, he became a monk halfway. Once his technical style is figured out by his opponents, it will be difficult to go further in the tennis world.
However, the media and fans did not realize that they would witness the beginning of a great era. Starting from Wimbledon in 2003 after the French Open, Gu Fei won 15 consecutive Grand Slam championship trophies, creating a record in Grand Slam events.
An unprecedented 105 consecutive wins, achieving the glory of being the first player in tennis history!
Since winning the French Open in 2003, Ferrero's performance has not been too bad, but he is good at clay courts and his performance on other courts cannot reach the top level. Moreover, because of Gu Fei's monopoly on the heavyweight championship
, causing Ferrero's world ranking to continue to decline.
Participating in the French Open this time, the position of the 17th seed means that Ferrero has been far away from the first group in men's tennis. It is not easy to regain his former glory.
Now, two Grand Slam winners who once ended their glorious days in tennis because of Gu Fei met in the fourth round of the French Open, and suddenly won the attention of many media and fans.
…………
The Philippe Chartier Stadium is packed with people. The appeal of the two former world number one is still very strong, especially Ferrero, who is the darling of Roland Garros.
It has to be said that the competitive level of the two is still quite good. Whether it is Hewitt's running or Ferrero's delicate skills, the audience who understands football will be fascinated to watch.
After a nearly five-hour long battle, Hewitt, who was physically exhausted, finally gave up the victory and stopped in the top 32!
All the fans at the scene stood up and gave the two players the warmest applause. There was no loser in this game!
Ferrero rediscovered his form at this French Open, hitting the cross-court ball extremely delicately on the clay court. The defeated Hewitt also showed fans around the world the style of a peak rabbit, running all over the court.
Many fans were in tears!
Today, when Gu Fei dominates the men's tennis world, the outcome of the game is no longer important to fans. More fans pay more attention to the process. Which player can show a good spirit and wonderful competitive state in the game, he can
Get more fan support.
Because men's tennis has developed into a game where a group of people participate in a duel, and in the end Gu Fei wins the championship. No one can take the championship away from Gu Fei who is in good condition!
In this case, fans become particularly tolerant of other players, and losing is not the end of the world.
From this point of view, Gu Fei has helped other tennis players get rid of the omnipresent and huge pressure, which can be said to be a blessing and a curse!
Compared with the former world No. 1 showdown between Ferrero and Hewitt, the battles between other seeds are also quite exciting. At this time, tennis fans are not only paying attention to their favorite stars, but also paying attention to the entire French Open.
.
At this time, major media groups around the world have also increased their coverage of the French Open, and major sponsors have also increased their advertising investment. Advertisements shot by tennis superstars are overwhelming.
Nadal, Federer and others received a lot of attention at the French Open. Although they have not won a Grand Slam championship, they have a huge number of fans in their respective countries and even around the world, which makes their international influence
It's increasing day by day.
Compared with their previous lives, Nadal and Federer's status in tennis history will be inferior, but their income and influence are not weak at all. Gu Fei's dominance in men's tennis has certainly caused many players to lose many opportunities to get ahead, but
Gu Fei has raised the influence of tennis in the world to the extreme.
Taking this French Open as an example, nearly a thousand reporters from more than 400 media outlets from more than 150 countries and regions poured into the small town of Roland Garros to cover the French Open, including China TV Five, French National Television, ESPN, Sky TV,
Al Jazeera and many other heavyweight television media broadcast the entire French Open live, and the media seats at the Philippe Chartier Stadium are always in short supply and packed with seats.
Because the French Open is often broadcast live at night in China, this makes the French Open the Grand Slam tournament with the highest ratings in China, which invisibly increases the influence of the French Open.
Gu Fei has won the French Open for several consecutive years and has already cultivated many French Open fans. These fans may not necessarily watch Gu Fei's live broadcasts of other events, but they are very interested in watching Gu Fei's wonderful performance at the French Open.
China TV Channel 5 once conducted a survey and found that the slower ball speed of the French Open allows fans to see more batting rounds between players, making the game more enjoyable to watch!
If it were switched to Wimbledon or two other hard-court events, the serve speed would exceed 220km/h at every turn, and the audience would not even be able to see the ball clearly, and the round would end hastily, which really would not be very enjoyable to watch.
In this way, the French Open, which has a slower ball speed, has become the favorite event of Chinese fans. The ratings in China have surpassed F1 and NBA, and it is opening up a huge market in China!
This year's French Open, taking into account the particularity of the Chinese market, the French Open Organizing Committee has specially arranged the game time of certain games, and arranged some heavyweight duels to be held during China's prime time as much as possible to win more Chinese audiences.
Of course, the increasing number of Chinese brand advertisements around the French Open courts is also an important factor in prompting the French Open Organizing Committee to make changes.
In recent years, the rapid growth of China's economy has led Huaxia brands to choose to go abroad and compete in overseas markets. China's manufacturing has become an indispensable element in the lives of people around the world.
Home appliances, mechanical and electrical products, clothing, bags, leather shoes, etc., a dazzling array of products have entered the lives of people around the world, and they are increasingly inseparable from Chinese manufacturing with excellent quality and reasonable prices.
With the awakening of the international consciousness of Chinese enterprises, more and more Chinese brands have begun to focus on brand building, rather than just relying on price wars to win the market.
In recent years, with the help of foundations affiliated with 'Universal Investment', more and more Chinese brands have gone abroad and started to compete closely with international giants. Gu Fei's success in tennis and football has also become a Chinese brand.
An important battlefield that demonstrates the charm of capital brands.
Since 2004, Huaxia brand advertisements including Changhong, Haier, Gree, and Great Wall have appeared on the sidelines of the four Grand Slams and even various Masters tournaments. In particular, the Huaxia brand endorsed by Gu Fei has become a favorite among many tennis players.
Main sponsor of the event.
Nowadays, tennis fans have become accustomed to the Chinese characters appearing around tennis events, and many fans can even pronounce some Chinese characters according to the text. This shows the power of advertising?
After Gu Fei entered the international football world, his sense of smell for the Chinese brand was also extremely sensitive. The number of Chinese brands in the Premier League and Champions League gradually increased, and even some players became the spokespersons of the Chinese brand. The Chinese brand has gradually integrated into the fierce international competition.
Gu Fei has prospered in the international sports world. Of course, his superior strength has earned him respect. Another important reason is the rise of China's economy and the strength of China's empire, which has given Gu Fei more confidence.
Liberian superstar George Weah, who preceded Gu Fei, is certainly the World Footballer and European Footballer of the Year, but his influence in Europe is far less than that of Gu Fei. One of the important reasons is that Liberia is just an extreme country caught in a war.
Poor small country.
Gu Fei's influence overseas is increasing day by day, but he knows very well that these respects and honors are concrete manifestations of the powerful strength of the Chinese Empire, and personal efforts are just secondary factors.
In two days, the fourth round of the French Open men's singles ended. Most of the high-ranking seeded players passed smoothly, but some capsized in the gutter. They bid farewell to this French Open and prepared for Wimbledon early.
The sixth seed, the Chilean cannon Gonzalez, lost to the Austrian player Melzer, causing the biggest upset since the start of this French Open. The sixth seed had to go to the British Peninsula alone to prepare for the Queen's Cup.
In addition, high-ranking players including Nadal, Federer, Djokovic and others have also successfully passed. This year's French Open is still star-studded.
Russian Tsar Safin lost to the Spanish player Robredo in a long game that took place overnight. The Russian dropped his cards several times during the game, and his violent temper became the main force for him to reach a higher level. Now,
The Russian Tsar's world ranking has dropped to 23rd in the world. In the past two years, he was still competing with Gu Fei for the world's number one spot. Now it can only make people sigh!
…………
The French Open is in full swing, and there is also an undercurrent in European football. Manchester United's victory in the "Four Crowns" will undoubtedly be a great stimulus to the major European giants.
Galacticos has suffered consecutive defeats in the Champions League, and Calderon's position as club president has been unstable. Florentino is trying to make a comeback this summer and has launched the slogan of introducing Kaká, which has also made this summer's transfer market
Becoming more fiery.
At this time, a bombshell was detonated, and Manchester instantly became the focus of the world!
