Who would still play tennis after being reborn?

Chapter 119 Nadal: The Prince of Tennis, let me study it some more.

On the way back, Yu Haoyang and Cao Hui put their hands on Gu Cheng, extremely excited.

A tennis newcomer who is only fourteen or fifteen years old and has only played in two ITF junior tournaments has actually defeated the world's top professional players and held his serve.

Moreover, their opponent was Roger Federer, who had won a career Grand Slam. This seemed like something out of a fairy tale, yet it was happening right before their eyes.

Even though they had anticipated it, since Gu Cheng's strength was no weaker than any professional player, when they actually saw Federer concede defeat, the two knew that the world of tennis would truly undergo a transformation because of the appearance of this young man.

A superstar is rising in the world of tennis.

Both are professional players, and although they are both playing in ITF junior tournaments, what they see is something that ordinary people can't compare to.

Gu Cheng's victory forced Federer to concede defeat. This wasn't just about Federer; more importantly, this point had a significant impact on the world of tennis.

Gu Cheng's ability to defeat Federer means he has a chance to beat other top professional players in the world. Especially considering whether Gu Cheng is hiding his true strength, no professional player dares to say they can guarantee a win against Gu Cheng, or that they can outperform Federer.

Djokovic wouldn't dare say such a thing, and neither would Nadal.

If news of Gu Cheng's match against Federer gets out, all professional players will find themselves in an awkward situation.

Yu Haoyang could predict that it wouldn't be long before the video of this point would spread throughout the tennis world and cause a huge uproar.

Thinking of this, Yu Haoyang glanced at the boy walking ahead with Cao Hui's arm around his shoulder and murmured, "Before this match, those guys standing at the pinnacle of tennis might have thought that even if Acheng had the skills of the King of Tennis, he wouldn't be much of a threat to them, but now it's hard to say."

"You all need to play Prince of Tennis and spend time studying tennis techniques!"

"Ah Cheng has at least given them something to do."

……

Meanwhile, the video of Gu Cheng's match against Federer spread rapidly online as the audience left the Royal Tennis Court, and quickly spread to all parts of the world.

Spain.

A villa area.

Nadal has relatively good lifestyle habits. Even when there is no competition, he usually gets up very early, does some light exercise in the morning to maintain his competitive state, and then eats a flavorful and nutritious breakfast prepared by a nutritionist at the restaurant.

Meanwhile, television was broadcasting news from the world of tennis.

With the Australian Open just around the corner, there has been a surge of news about tennis, particularly the Australian Open, with almost all the news appearing at once.

Just then, Nadal's tactical coach rushed in.

"Nadal, you might want to watch this video." The tactical coach approached Nadal, who was still drinking fresh milk, with a serious expression, holding a tablet.

"Hmm...what video?"

Nadal put down the milk and looked at his tactical coach.

“A friend of mine in Sweden sent it from the Royal Tennis Court. He said that no matter what, you must watch this video. He also said that you will understand once you watch it.”

Nadal looked puzzled but didn't ask anything further. Instead, he took the tablet, placed it in front of him, turned on play, and continued drinking his milk.

"Only a five or six-minute video?"

At first, when Nadal saw that the screen showed a tennis court, he was quite interested. It was probably a tennis match taking place at the Royal Tennis Stadium in the Swedish capital, and it was very likely that some of the world's top-ranked professional players were involved.

Otherwise, given his own tactical coach's personality, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to show it to me.

But when he saw the video length, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Even if it were a competition, a video that's only five or six minutes long probably wouldn't reveal much.

However, just as this thought crossed Nadal's mind, he put down the half-finished milk he was drinking because he saw a face in the video that was all too familiar to him.

“Federer?” Nadal paused the video and looked at his tactical coach in surprise.

“Yes.” “But these are not the key points. The most important thing is Federer’s opponent.”

Nadal grew increasingly curious and subconsciously continued watching. After a while, a boy stepped onto the court. The video was shot from a distance, and the boy looked somewhat familiar, but Nadal didn't recognize him at first.

"He looks like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy. Was his match against Federer a coaching match?"

"No, it's not."

"You know his rivals."

"I know?"

This made Nadal even more surprised.

He only knew a few teenagers aged fourteen or fifteen, and he knew where they were recently. They definitely hadn't gone to Sweden. Even if they had, this boy's physique was nothing like the ones he knew.

But if the tactical coach says that, he must know him.

After thinking for a moment, Nadal still didn't have much of an impression, so he turned his gaze to the other person.

“CHENG”.

"CHENG?"

"Yes, that Eastern boy who can play tennis."

"It's him!"

Nadal's expression turned serious, and he looked at the video.

Ever since Gu Cheng's decisive shutout victory over the American prodigy, professional players worldwide have studied almost every match he's played. Even the Prince of Tennis, despite his dislike, watched quite a few of his games.

The reason is simple: the emergence of the Prince of Tennis technique was an absolute revolution for professional tennis.

This could have a huge impact on these professional players.

But Nadal wasn't too concerned. He had watched Gu Cheng's matches, and while those skills might be a big threat to ordinary professional players, he was still confident he could retaliate.

Most importantly, Gu Cheng's basic five-dimensional attributes are far inferior to his. He might be able to beat him, but that would be a matter of many years from now.

The five or six-minute video was short, but Nadal kept replaying it, and it took him a full half hour to watch.

"The Wave Ball and the Big Bang serve don't really pose much of a threat to me, but... that all-around Shrinking Ground technique, the Hand Domain, and that Zero-Style Cut are too troublesome to deal with."

Nadal's face no longer held its previous casualness; instead, it was very serious.

Although it was only one point, and the two sides were deadlocked for nearly five or six minutes on that one point, Gu Cheng's performance in that point, as well as the point he finally won from Federer, was enough to illustrate a lot.

As an old friend and rival, Nadal knows Federer's strength all too well. His old rival had definitely given it his all, but still couldn't break serve.

As for Gu Cheng, although he seemed to have used all his strength, whether it was as he guessed was still questionable.

"what do you think?"

Seeing Nadal suddenly lean back, the tactical coach quickly asked.

Nadal squinted, took a breath, and said, "I'll find the Prince of Tennis series that I didn't finish watching last time, and study it carefully before the Australian Open starts."

If I can beat Federer, then I can beat him.

We have no choice but to investigate.

He even felt that studying only the field at hand was not enough; the state of selflessness, which he had previously considered absolutely impossible, could also be included in his research.
