【0314】 Hard season

Montreal is an important economic center of the Maple Leaf Country. Its total GDP in 2004 exceeded 100 billion US dollars, which is almost equivalent to 1/16 of the GDP of the Huaxia Empire in 2004. This shows that there is still a huge gap between the Huaxia Empire and the developed countries in the world.

However, except for Gu Fei, no one would have thought that China's economy would develop rapidly in the future. There are more than 20 cities with a total GDP value of over 100 billion US dollars, and Binhai and Pengcheng have even entered the top ten in the world!

On the way from the hotel to the competition venue, Gu Fei looked at the urban construction planning along the way and the exotic buildings, realizing that there is still a long way to go in China's development.

Before arriving at the competition venue, Gu Fei saw his large posters hanging everywhere. It seemed that the organizer of the event regarded himself as the main promotional target of this event.

On the electronic screen outside the competition venue, Gu Fei's huge photos kept changing. The scene of his winning championship in Montreal the year before last was repeated, which was quite thoughtful.

When Gu Fei entered the venue, there were bursts of "come cheering" in his ears. He looked up and saw a large red flag on the stands.

Like Toronto, Montreal has hundreds of thousands of Chinese people and is one of the international cities with the largest number of Chinese people.

Now Gu Fei's competitions around the world will attract a large number of Chinese people to watch the game. In addition to local Chinese immigrants, more and more domestic tourists are organized by tourism companies.

Thanks to the continuous growth of the domestic economy, more and more citizens have the idea of ​​traveling abroad, and travel agencies have also taken the opportunity to launch travel routes to watch Gufei competitions while traveling, which has also received warm support from the citizens.

Generally speaking, only those big cities can carry high-level events such as Grand Slams and Masters, and these cities happen to be the main tourist destinations for Chinese citizens.

As far as Gu Fei knows, national companies such as Huaxia International Travel Agency and Kanghuang Travel Agency have launched four Grand Slam events and Masters tournaments, attracting countless Gu Fei fans to participate actively.

For example, the North American season back-to-back Masters and the US Open are often packaged into a tourist route. Visitors can visit various beautiful scenery in the United States and Canada while watching the Gufei competition, and finally return home after shopping in New York's "Centre of the World" and take an international flight back home.

…………

As the defending champion of the Canadian Masters, Gu Fei has only one goal this time when he comes to Montreal, which is to achieve three consecutive championships and continue his winning streak.

Of course, the competitors also knew that Gu Fei was coming in a fierce manner and tried all his strength from the beginning. The Masters entered a white-hot stage from the first round.

Gu Fei also played very fiercely in the first round against Russian player Yuzny. The opponent's fighting tactics produced many fairy balls. Even with Gu Fei's ability, he was sometimes powerless.

Since Federer used similar tactics to win a set in the Wimbledon final, many players have adopted this extreme style of play as soon as they come up, trying to hit Gu Fei.

However, Gu Fei was still quite calm, avoiding his edge, and engaged in a bottom-line draw with Yuzny, dragging the game into a long-shot duel, and finally waiting for the opponent to make a mistake and then win with one blow.

6:4, 6:2, the top seed is still terriblely stable. After adapting to Yuzny's impact-style pass, he easily won the game.

Gu Fei's performance made all the opponents who were paying attention to this game look solemn, because Gu Fei still couldn't find too obvious loopholes.

When Gu Fei first entered the professional tennis world, perhaps because his body had not fully developed, or because he had not received enough vocational training, and his physical fitness problems were quite serious.

In 2003 and 2004, Gu Fei lost Indianales and Miami in the boat and train, and Monte Carlo's championship was because the game was in the final stage and the lack of physical fitness caused the collapse.

However, after entering the second half of 2004, Gu Fei's strength and physical fitness were greatly improved, and his ability to continue to fight was greatly enhanced, which also laid a good foundation for Gu Fei's unbeaten record for more than a year.

Since Gu Fei's rise in professional tennis, he has become the object of careful research by countless insiders. His game videos have been used for teaching, and some have also studied Gu Fei's techniques and tactics to try to crack the secret of Gu Fei's success.

From his youthfulness to his current omnipotence and stability, Gu Fei's growth is too fast, which makes his opponents unable to react at all.

In the second round, Gu Fei's opponent was Argentine clay master Narbandian. Gu Fei won more easily and almost succeeded in giving away eggs.

Gu Fei's strength also made opponents in the same half-zone anxious. Roddick admitted to the reporter that he could not find a way to defeat Gu Fei now.

In the 16-to-8 game, Gu Feibing defeated Ferrero, who was in a downturn without bloodshed. The endings in Monte Carlo and French Open were completely lost two years ago.

"The old king falls, the new king ascends the throne"

This is the front page title given by Spain's Le Marca after the game. The article lamented the rapid decline of the Spanish flag, but Nadal's outstanding performance in 2005 gave Spanish media and fans more expectations.

In the other half of the zone, Nadal also made a strong breakthrough into the quarterfinals. His forehand spin and running are the magic weapons to defeat the enemy.

In the quarter-finals, Gu Fei was his old opponent Roddick. The two teamed up to contribute a wonderful game to the fans, while Gu Fei laughed to the end.

In the semi-finals, Gu Fei's opponent was Agassi who just met in the Los Angeles Tour final. Without any surprises, Gu Fei defeated his opponent 2:0 and continued to set a record of continuously entering the ATP event finals.

In the other half of the zone, Mallorca young player Nadal was in awe of momentum, eliminating Puerta and French player Massey, entering the finals, and continuing the story of the unfinished French Open finals.

The global media have paid great attention to this young final. Firstly, because Nadal's strong rise this year has given European and American fans a new sustenance.

With Agassi, Rodick, Hewitt and Federer being defeated by Gu Fei continuously, Nadal launched a series of attacks on Gu Fei's dominance in the finals of the competition, which undoubtedly met the psychological expectations of European and American media and audiences.

The final officially started at 8 pm on August 8, local time in Monte Carlo. The dazzling lights of Monte Carlo ushered in the third duel between Gu Fei and Nadal.

More than 2,000 Chinese fans were cheering for Gu Fei with red flags on the scene. On the opposite side, there were also quite a few Spanish fans, which became two beautiful scenery on the scene.

Although it was the early hours of China, China Five Sets and ESPN Chinese TV Network still chose to broadcast the game live, because every game related to Gu Fei may witness the birth of a new record.
