Almighty Coach

Chen Jianguo personally poured wine for Li Dai and said at the same time: "Coach Li, try this wine. I have treasured Maotai for 20 years."

"In Maotai in 20 years, if this bottle is sold, it will cost tens of thousands of dollars!" Li Dai was also polite, took a sip of the glass, closed his eyes and tasted it, and then said: "20 years Maotai is really different. When you sip it down, the wine smells out of your nose. I said Lao Chen, where did you find the rare goods? "

"Brought in China." Chen Jianguo said.

"You go abroad to play a game, and also bring wine?" Li Dai asked a little curiously.

"I thought at the time, if Chen Zhen scored in the main event of the US Open, wouldn't it be a celebration, so I brought this bottle of wine, but I didn't expect it to be used." Chen Jianguo gave Li Daiman went on to drink, and then said: "Coach Li, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, Chen Zhen wouldn't be able to make it to the US Open. Especially when you signed up for the training camp for Coach Wiggins , This week's training, he has made great progress. "

"He is willing to work hard." Li Dai said with a smile.

"My Chen Jianguo is stupid and doesn't speak much. In short, my thanks to you are all in this wine." Chen Jianguo and Li Dai clink glasses and then drink them.

"Lao Chen, the next step is the race. Are there any new goals?" Li Dai asked with a smile.

Chen Jianguo shook his head: "Actually, I am still awake. Chen Zhen has been able to enter the US Open. It is already very difficult. I know that with his current strength, it is impossible to pass the first round, which means After the next game, we should go home. "

"In fact, it's not that there is no chance. If you are lucky, Chen Zhen meets a wild card player in the first round, and may even advance to the second round." Li Dai said.

"I hope so!" Chen Jianguo did not show the slightest optimism.

The tennis players are grouped according to the ranking. For example, the four major tennis tournaments have a total of 32 seed players, which is the top 32 in the world. When grouping, the 32 seed players will be divided into Among the different groups, in the Grand Slam grouping, it is impossible for seed players to encounter in the first two rounds. It is not possible for seed players to meet until the third round of the game.

At the same time, the masters will be separated as much as possible. For example, the top seed and the second seed will be in different half zones. Unless they reach the final, it is impossible to fight. The top seed and fourth seed, as well as the second seed and third seed, will only be encountered in the semifinals.

Since there are 32 seed players, of course, there must be 96 non-seed players, and there are many cannon players, and they will be eliminated in the first round. Like the players who advanced through the qualifiers, the world ranking is much lower, which is naturally the cannon fodder. The weaker the cannon player, the more likely it is to encounter the top ranked seed player in the first round.

When the athletes are grouped, they will also take special care of the top ranked seed players, such as the top 16 seed players. Their opponents in the first round are basically cannon fodder players, which is equivalent to being sent to the second round. . For example, the top seed players of the tournament will often encounter players who qualify in the first round. Because the players who qualify for the qualifying game are weak, they can guarantee the seed players to advance.

For the organizers, if the powerful seed players are eliminated in the first round, it will also affect the ornamental nature of the game.

Players who qualify for the Qualifying Tournament are basically outside the 110th rank. When they meet the top 10 players in the world, they are completely beaten, and there is no possibility of returning. So for the players who advanced through the qualifiers, it is impossible for them to advance to the second round. Their role in the Grand Slam main game is to become a qualified cannon fodder to help the seed players warm up and adapt to the rhythm of the game. , And then lose the game, sending the seed player to advance.

Chen Jianguo also knows that although Chen Zhen has advanced to the Grand Slam main game, he still has no destiny to get rid of the cannon fodder. In the first round, he has to face first-rate seed players. Can enter the second round, with Chen Zhen's strength, it really can not beat the seed player.

However, there is also a case where the cannon fodder is likely to advance, that is, the first round against the wild card players.

As I said before, the Grand Slam has eight wild card places, mainly for big players, sponsors and local players who come back from injury. The organizer naturally hopes that local players can last longer, which will help improve the ratings and attention of the game. Therefore, during the grouping, the organizer will deliberately let the local wild card players encounter the players who have qualified for the qualifying match.

Because the qualified players in the qualifying game are relatively weak, local wild card players have a chance to beat them to get promoted. Conversely, local foreign card players have weaker strengths. Players who qualify for the qualifying match will also have a chance to win. They are much stronger than the seed players.

Simply put, if the first round is a wild card player who meets the qualifiers, I think you are weak, you also think I am weak, both sides feel that they have a chance to win, but actually they are a pair of rookies.

It is not uncommon for the organizers to send local players to advance, which is not uncommon in tennis. It is also very common to arrange a weaker opponent for local players. Sometimes even two local foreign card players will be in the same group . For example, there was once a Chinese Open. In the men ’s singles project, Chinese players got three wild cards, but the strength of Chinese players is too bad. It can be said that no one can play on the field, so the organizer simply will Two of the Chinese players arranged for the first encounter, so that at least one Chinese player could be guaranteed to advance to the second round.

For Chen Zhen, if he encounters a wild card player in the first round, he can at least try to fight one fight and have the opportunity to advance to the second round. Of course, even if they advance to the second round, I am afraid that they will also meet the seed players, and they will inevitably end the journey of the US Open.

As a professional player, even a not-so-professional professional player, it is good to be able to stand a round.

Moreover, the Grand Slam bonus will also increase a lot every round.

Chen Jianguo and Li Daizheng were drinking, but Chen Jianguo's cell phone suddenly rang, and a text message appeared on it.

"It's a notice from the tournament. The first round of the US Open has already appeared. You can check it on the official website." Chen Jianguo said.

Li Dai also took out his mobile phone and landed on the official website of the US Open. He also wanted to know who Chen Zhen's opponent would be in the first place.

Li Dai found the match map on the official website of the US Open ~ www.readwn.com ~ Then he saw Chen Zhen's name the first time.

The reason for this is that Chen Zhen's name is very high, and the second place on the table is him, and it can be ranked first in the map, which is naturally the number one seed of the tournament, which is the world's first ranking Player.

This also means that Chen Zhen's first opponent is the world's first!

"How is it? Who is Chen Zhen playing with in the first game?" Chen Jianguo asked with a look of expectation. He still hoped that Chen Zhen's luck would be better. The first round was against a wild card student.

Li Dai handed his mobile phone to Chen Jianguo, and then said: "It's no drama to advance. I met Basel in the first round. Basel, the tennis king! ... "
