Reborn Almighty Life

Gu Fei's advancement to the semi-finals of the 2007 US Open was something that the media and fans recognized before the start of the US Open. After all, judging from his performance in the past four years, the semi-finals were just his bottom line.

Contrary to people's expectations, Gu Fei did not face much of a challenge in the match. Even Roddick, who had high hopes from American fans, had no room for resistance against Gu Fei in the quarter-finals.

While people lamented Gu Fei's strength, they also had a strong interest in the future of men's tennis. Once Gu Fei fades out of men's tennis, who will be able to take over the banner of tennis next?

However, what is certain is that it must be very difficult to find a superstar similar to Gu Fei!

The image of Gu Fei raising his hands in the air to celebrate his victory was broadcast on television and spread throughout the world on online platforms, causing his fans to celebrate collectively.

…………

After Gu Fei, Russian model worker Davydenko appeared on the stage. Although broadcast agencies and sponsors were not very fond of this civilian star with an average image, when the game reached this stage, Davydenko also squeezed into the center of the stage.

The quarter-final match against Haas was the eighth quarter-final match of Davydenko's career. In the past three years, this unattractive Russian player has quietly become the top player in men's tennis.

You won't see him appear in the finals of Grand Slam tournaments, but you can always see him appearing in the third round, fourth round and even the quarterfinals of the Grand Slam tournaments, with stable results.

horrible.

It is precisely because of his diligent playing style and stable record that Davydenko raised his world ranking to TOP5 and became a presence at the top of the pyramid.

The super high ranking has brought more exposure to Davydenko. Although the attitude of European and American media and sponsors towards him is lukewarm, Russian TV stations and sponsors are very fond of this Russian hero after Safin.

add.

In this way, after Davydenko entered the quarterfinals, he came to the Central Court to start his first game on this court. When Davydenko stood in the center of the stage, even American fans who were hostile to Russian players,

I have to give him the warmest applause.

Davydenko's opponent in the quarter-finals, Haas, did not have a strong presence. As Germany's best tennis player after Becker retired, Haas has been the best in the Grand Slams in his career over the past ten years.

The results are the semi-finals of the Australian Open in 1999, 2002 and this year.

In 1999, Haas, who was only 21 years old, entered the semi-finals in his seventh Grand Slam tournament and shocked the entire tennis world. Unfortunately, Haas encountered Kafer who was in his prime that year.

Kafelnikov, just like in the 2000 Olympic men's singles final, lost to his opponent. In the end, Kafelnikov won the last Grand Slam championship of his career, but Haas was separated from his career.

The dream is getting further and further away.

A serious injury in the second half of 2002 kept Haas away from tennis for more than a year and a half, and this injury became an important turning point in his career.

While Haas was recuperating, Gu Fei rose up in the tennis world in an incredible manner. By the time Haas came back, the world of tennis had changed.

Now, after a difficult struggle, Haas has gradually returned to his peak state. He defeated strong opponents all the way in this US Open and broke into the quarterfinals!

A strong defensive player with abundant physical strength and active running meets an opponent with a powerful forehand and sharp attack. The game is bound to become extremely exciting and intense!

As the game begins, the audience's attention shifts from outside the court to inside the court. It has to be said that two evenly matched opponents fighting hard on the court is actually the best password for ratings.

Behind the scenes, sponsors and broadcasters looked at the rising ratings curve and realized that a player's reputation is only one aspect, but it cannot determine the excitement of the game.

However, when these sponsors select spokespersons, they will also subconsciously look for superstars who are more famous and have more news effect!

After all, Haas, who has suffered serious injuries, is no longer the fierce young man in his early twenties. Although he has more game experience, his output has declined. In this case, Davydenko, who is extremely defensive, gradually took over.

The advantage of the game was that the Russians seemed to be at ease on the court.

In the first set, Haas was able to play back and forth with Davydenko more or less, and they fought until the tiebreaker, only to lose unfortunately!

The gain or loss of a ball often changes the situation on the court. The loss in the first set affected Haas's mood to some extent. This made him not very decisive in attacking in the second set and became worried about gains and losses. Davydenko has always maintained

He was full of attendance and had a lot of competition experience. When he saw that Haas's mentality was a little shaken, he immediately increased the intensity of his counterattack.

Davydenko only said that his defense is good, but his offense is not shabby. After all, it is impossible for a player to enter the top five of the ATP based on defense alone.

In this way, Haas, who was still in a trance, was quickly caught by Davydenko, broke serve successfully in the fifth game, and maintained the advantage until the end of the game.

2:0. Even Davydenko’s fans did not dare to be so optimistic before the game. After all, Haas was once one of the top three super players in the world. Now, despite his average world ranking, he can break into the quarterfinals of the US Open.

Not a good one.

After two sets in a row, Davydenko showed no expression on his face. Like a perfect robot, he returned to his seat, covered his head with a towel, and closed his eyes to rest.

When many players compete with Davydenko, the most depressing thing is Davydenko's expressionless face, which makes it difficult for opponents to capture Davydenko's emotional changes, and many tactical strategies cannot be developed.

Haas also secretly warned himself in his heart that Davydenko is a robot. If he wants to defeat him, his thoughts must not fluctuate. After all, when the match is evenly matched or even slightly at a disadvantage, emotional fluctuations can easily lead to the collapse of the situation.

.

The adjustments between sets were still effective. After the start of the third set, Haas gradually found some ways to restrain his opponent. The two sides continued to draw, and the score alternately increased to 4:4.

However, Haas, who was nearly 30 years old and had suffered serious injuries, gradually couldn't keep up with Davydenko's physical fitness in the second half of the game. Both his return strength and running speed showed a downward trend.

.

In the past two hours, Davydenko has been constantly mobilizing Haas's pace, using his unremitting running to drag his opponent into a deadlock. This is Davydenko's best method.

Now, Haas's fatigue shows that Davydenko's tactics have worked, and the Russians will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity.

I saw Davydenko's sudden power, and finally broke serve in the ninth game, taking a 5:4 lead and then entered his own serve to win the game.

In the subsequent game, although Haas tried to break serve through a counterattack to save the match point, Davydenko was well prepared and rejected Haas's counterattack with his racket, and finally won the game 6:4. Professionally

Breaking into the semi-finals of Grand Slam men's singles for the fourth time in his career!

The defeated Haas couldn't help shouting to the sky. His fate was really unfair. Injuries made the Grand Slam championship trophy farther and farther away from him!

No color suits Haas better than gold, and he has always been called the "golden boy."

From the first day he was born, Haas had a hundred reasons to be a carefree and sunny boy. His father was a European champion in judo. He had a good family background and a good reputation. He also had a relationship with a movie star at the time and now the United States.

California Governor Schwarzenegger is a classmate and friend.

Haas playing tennis was originally just a noble pastime for playboys, but he is really outstanding." Nick, the principal of the most famous Nick Tennis School in Florida, praised Haas for the first time when he saw Haas playing. After he was 11 years old,

Haas took root in Florida.

At a young age, Haas defeated children older than him and became the national youth champion. He was once regarded as the most promising German player after Becker.

In May 2002, Haas's world ranking rose to second place. He likes speed racing, enjoys singing and dancing, and has an annual salary of one million US dollars. However, when he returns to the court, he is still so talented. At the age of 23, he seems to have "the world"

The pride of having everything under control.

Jealousy, even God. Haas's brilliant life changed overnight, and the black shocks of life came one after another, provoking his declaration of a true man.

Happiness and pain follow each other like shadows.

One month after ascending to the second place in the world, Haas's nightmare began, which lasted for four years.

In June 2002, Haas' parents went to visit their son's new home in Bradenton, Florida, but encountered a serious car accident on the way. Father Peter Sr. was in a coma in the ward for several months before he struggled to come back from the dead.

Dad saved his life, but the misfortune remains

At the end of that year, Haas inexplicably suffered a torn rotator muscle in his wrist. Usually, this kind of injury is only experienced by baseball players. He had to walk twice in December and July 2003.

After entering the operating room, for 16 months, Haas drew a clear line with tennis.

When Haas patiently resumed his tennis career, the "unlucky guy" encountered a bizarre incident again. During a warm-up practice before the start of Wimbledon in 2004, he tried to stop a tennis ball rolling from his partner with his foot.

, but slipped and fell to the ground and injured his right ankle. Haas had to withdraw from Wimbledon and rested for another two months due to this ridiculous injury.

However, injuries and misfortunes have not diminished Haas's inner strength. He is still eager to get back on his feet, and his return to the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam event this time is also regarded as a victory of personal heroism.

…………

In the stands, Becker witnessed Haas's defeat and couldn't hide the disappointment on his face. After all, Haas is the current representative of German men's tennis. German tennis, which has been in decline, has reached the point where it must be reformed.

In recent years, Becker and Graf have trained Chinese players at the Gu Fei Tennis School, with outstanding results. This has also given rise to the idea of ​​​​moving the training base to China among the bosses of the German Tennis Association.

According to the current price situation, the cost of training athletes in China is only one-third or even less than training in Europe and the United States. This is a huge temptation that is difficult to refuse for any training institution.

In addition, China today is not much worse than Europe and the United States in terms of infrastructure construction and talent team building. Cooperation with China can achieve a win-win situation.

With the help of Becker and Graf, the German Tennis Association and even the German Football Association began to contact Chinese officials. After all, the Chinese market is a virgin land that has not yet been fully developed.

Gu Fei's amazing strength and huge commercial value displayed in men's tennis and world football are exciting, and the rapid development of China's economy and the huge Chinese market are even more attractive.

The on-site director's camera also showed Gu Fei. He looked relaxed and was chatting and laughing with Dayao and Liu Yuyang beside him, but he was still the focus of everyone's attention.

"After watching Davydenko's match, Gu Fei is still calm. It seems that he is still confident about the upcoming semi-finals!" Xin Ning immediately introduced Gu Fei to the domestic audience who was watching the match. He knew that TV

What do the Chinese viewers in front of the camera want to see?

"It is not easy for Davydenko to prevent Gu Fei from reaching the Grand Slam men's singles final for 18 consecutive times!" Teacher Han opened his record book and introduced to the audience: "This

After three games, Davydenko became the sixth player among Gu Fei's consecutive defeated opponents to enter the 10-game losing streak club. This shows that Davydenko has been quite active in men's tennis in recent years. It also shows that Gu Fei has a strong hold on Davydenko.

A huge psychological advantage!”

"Actually, Gu Fei has a huge psychological advantage when facing any opponent!" Xin Ning held back her laughter and took over Teacher Han's words.

In Gu Fei's career, he has only lost three games. Therefore, top players including Federer, Hewitt, and Nadal have all become medals for Gu Fei's 10-game winning streak. Now there is Davydenko.

Not surprising.

Some good-faith media even widely publicized Gu Fei's 10-game winning streak club list, believing that only tennis players who make this list can be considered the top stars on the planet.

After all, as Gu Fei is ranked number one in the world all year round, if he wants to encounter Gu Fei many times in competitions, his opponents must regularly break into the top 16, top 8 or even the semi-finals and finals of Grand Slam events.

This reflects the strength of Gu Fei's opponents from another aspect. As for those low-ranked seed players, every time they meet Gu Fei, they only rely on luck. It is not easy to get 10 consecutive defeats.

.

For example, Federer and Nadal are one or two on Gu Fei's winning streak list. They have met Gu Fei in the finals of various events for a long time. Although they constantly failed in challenges, they also showed their strong strength.

…………

The first half of the game ended, and the competition for the second half followed closely. Nadal VS Djokovic, Federer VS Moya, two heavyweight duels also attracted a lot of media attention.

Compared to Gu Fei's one-sided game, these two quarter-finals were evenly matched and had more to watch. Sponsors and broadcasters were unanimously optimistic!
