Chapter 227 Jin Tennis Challenge 5
"You don't want to lose." Recalling the second game of the first set, An Yuexi was thankful that her hard court skills were very solid and her opponent was not a clay court expert, otherwise she would have definitely lost. "Coach, I really know I was wrong. You guys
Just forgive me and continue teaching me?"
Faced with the little girl's sincere apology, they didn't see how she could lose.
Turning around, An Yuexi was facing a foreigner who was nearly sixty years old. She tugged at the corner of his clothes and said aggrievedly, "Maslow, I'm sorry. I promise that I will never be arrogant again!"
Maslow is the tactical coach hired by Coach Smith after the Australian Open. This person is a bit old-fashioned, but his coaching level is very high. He has trained several top ten players in the world.
Coach Maslow has gained fame and fortune, and no longer wants to fly around the world. At nearly sixty years old, he only earns commissions by coaching players online, which is considered a semi-retirement.
I don’t know how Smith invited him.
Being pulled at the corner of his clothes, Maslow sighed. He had been taking care of his granddaughter this month, not playing the role of a tactical coach at all. Only this little girl dared to waste money like this.
Maslow had experienced the feeling of being a 'grandpa' for more than a month. Seeing An Yuexi tugging at the corner of his clothes and making a low-key promise, he said, "You are no longer willful?"
An Yuexi immediately said, "I'm not sure I won't be willful in the future, but it's true now!"
Coaches...
Maslow nodded, "Okay, now let Daniel give you a post-game massage."
Daniel Lucy is a masseur for players.
Massage to soothe muscles after a game is a must, and An Yuexi never skips this step.
"After the massage, let Dr. Norman check your ankles and other areas." The indispensable sliding step to save the ball on the mud has a great impact on the players' ankles, so you must pay attention.
"besides……"
An Yuexi nodded obediently, like a good and obedient student.
In view of An Yuexi's ambitious goals, Smith quickly established a mature team of players while coaching.
The team implements a dual-coach model (Smith is mainly a psychological coach and Maslow is a tactical coach), plus a physical trainer, team doctor, masseur, nutritionist and several sparring partners. The division of labor is meticulous, and the team's functions are becoming mature.
Except for Coach Maslow, everyone else has been working with An Yuexi for more than half a year. They are not used to the extremely well-behaved An Yuexi, but they all feel sad.
The talented girl has been going smoothly. She has reached the second place in the world in half a year. It is only a matter of time before she wins the world number one title. In the eyes of the outside world, she is the real power queen of WTA.
For Smith, An Yuexi was someone they and their coaches watched grow up and taught him step by step. As a psychological coach, Smith knows An Yuexi very well.
She inherited the excellent genes of her parents, a warm family, and like-minded friends, and she became successful in her career at a young age. Her too-easy success made An Yuexi's self-confidence inflated and she looked down upon the women's tennis players more and more.
If there wasn't a male tennis player in the tennis world who was suppressing her, she would have been lawless long ago. She actually apologized today? The little guy has grown up!
After all the arrangements were made, Maslow felt countless emotions in his heart.
After such a long period of cooperation and contact, Maslow gradually understood why Smith supported a fragile girl to play ATP. An Yuexi is not a willful person. Although she is young, she also knows how to quickly wake up and reflect when she hits a wall.
Both coaches Smith and Maslow feel that these excellent and rare qualities are concentrated in An Yuexi, and she will have a promising future. They will firmly support An Yuexi to pursue and beat anyone who is not optimistic about her, and even certain
ATP who will say she is not good.
"Let's go, everyone goes back to the meeting."
"Okay!" An Yuexi agreed readily.
Coach Maslow, the oldest in the team, lost his temper, and the other coaches all laughed, laughing at An Yuexi for being so thick-skinned, and laughing at her for hitting herself in the face without fear of pain.
An Yuexi smiled back. She was a child, and a group of adults were fussing over her, which was beneath her status as a coach. She even made several faces to look down on them.
What a naughty boy! The coaches were angry again.
The opponent was a player who was 200 meters away. The first game was not very convincing, but it also attracted the attention of many international tennis commentators, former celebrities, outstanding coaches, senior fans and other groups to pay attention to the Jin Tennis Challenge.
The Jin Tennis Challenge is gradually becoming famous in the tennis world.
Generally speaking, the first round of games will not be too exciting, because it is a round where high-ranked players sweep away low-ranked players, but occasionally there will be surprises.
For example, in the top half led by An Yuexi, there is a match between the Icelandic young player Sniffer and the Spanish player Percy Lin. One is a peripheral member of Youth Storm, the other grew up on clay, one is ranked 96th in the world, and the other is ranked 96th in the world.
165 bits.
The two were inseparable in the first set, and as the first set fell to the Spanish player, the higher-ranked 19-year-old Sniffer became less and less confident as he played. Even if his state was once encouraged by the audience, it could not last long.
Percy Lin actually scored 16 points in a row and was 'swept' by lower-ranked players.
The next day, the second round of the game gradually became more interesting, and the battle between high-ranking players was about to become fierce.
In the second half, led by the world's No. 3 player, Chinese golden flower Zhang Ruqi failed to withstand the pressure and lost to Peart in two sets.
In the same half, South Korean players Zhou Hye Soo and Shen Qingqing, ranked 97th in the world, were eliminated after three sets.
Tang Ruo defeated the world's 102nd-ranked Milit in two sets, avenging Jinhua Zhengxi's defeat in the first round.
Justin Shah defeated German teenager Anna Fogel in three sets and will play Jinhua's second sister Tang Ruo in the next round.
Compared to the lower half, which started to be fiercely fought in the second round, the upper half was much quieter, except for Bai An Yuexi, the newbie on the mud floor.
An Yuexi faced Spanish player Percy Lin, who defeated Sniffer in two sets yesterday, a young player ranked low in the world but absolutely strong on clay and clay courts.
At this time, people who paid attention to this challenge noticed that more than half of the young players were the main players in this competition.
Take today's match as an example. The Spaniard Percy Lin just turned 20 this year, and the hard court queen An Yuexi just turned 14. They are both absolute flowers.
The Spaniard, who grew up on red soil, practices his skills on red soil almost every day. There is no distinction between clay and red soil, and we can play with ease.
Therefore, Percy Lin, who only joined professional tennis for two years, relied on soft courts to quickly rise to the top 200 in the world, and was called the "Little Princess of Clay" by Europeans.
Regardless of whether the opponent is a little princess or a big devil, An Yuexi is focused on using all the clay-court tactics she practiced yesterday effectively. Because she uses hard-court techniques to hit soft-court courts, once she encounters a clay-court master, she will use them.
No matter how good you are, victory cannot be guaranteed.
Clay courts have a clay court playing style, and the experience of hard courts can only be used as a rough reference and cannot be copied in full.
