In the US Open match when Chen Qiang won the championship five years ago, Edwood Cook stopped at the top 32, and Elwood Cook has never missed the US Open match in the past five years, but his best result was only the quarterfinals of 1940.

Edwood Cook's peak period should have been in 1939, when he won the runner-up in singles and doubles championship at Wimbledon, and also entered the semi-finals of the French Open. Since then, Edwood Cook has not achieved a decent result.

It is also a very tormenting thing for a tennis player after not being able to achieve good results for many years. After the end of this US Open, Edwood Cook chose to temporarily give up his tennis career and participate in the US Navy. However, before he could go to the battlefield, World War II was over. Then Edwood Cook returned to the tennis court and lasted for several years of career.

In other words, Edwood Cook is about to end his tennis career to join the army. At this time, Edwood Cook is in a state of confusion, and meeting Chen Qiang makes him feel unwilling to fight.

Five years ago at the US Open, although Edwood Cook had never fought with Chen Qiang, he had seen Chen Qiang beat each other with his own eyes. The extremely powerful Tang Boogie was eventually beaten by Chen Qiang, which made Edwood Cook have a psychological shadow on Chen Qiang.

This psychological shadow was also brought to the game by Edwood Cook, so throughout the game, Edwood Cook only showed 60% or 70% of the strength, and was naturally beaten by Chen Qiang and lost the game.

Chen Qiang can be said to have advanced to the quarterfinals of the US Open without any effort, and his next opponent is Bill Talbert.

Bill Talbert is a good doubles player. He has won nine Grand Slam doubles champions in history. It is worth mentioning that he switched to type 1 diabetes. As a type 1 diabetes patient, he can become an excellent athlete. Bill Talbert is also very inspiring.

However, Bill Talbert's singles are not as good as his doubles. Facing Chen Qiang, Bill Talbert can only swallow the bitter fruit of failure and then save his energy to play doubles.

At this point, Chen Qiangbing entered the semi-finals of the US Open without any bloodshed. He only had two games left to win the championship of this US Open.

...

Bakerland Jr. also came to the scene of the US Open competition.

"How about it, are you still used to using the racket?" Little Beckland asked.

Although Chen Qiang's tennis racket uses artificial sheep intestine thread, it is actually specially made by Xiao Beckland's laboratory. After all, no player has different needs for the racket, so Xiao Beckland spent a lot of effort to specially make artificial sheep intestine threads based on Chen Qiang's usage habits, so Chen Qiang's use habits can make it easier for Chen Qiang to use it as much as possible.

Chen Qiang smiled and nodded, "Actually, I think the artificial sheep intestine thread we make now is almost no different from the natural sheep intestine thread. At least I don't feel the difference when I use it."

"Really? That's great! In this way, our artificial intestinal thread can truly replace the natural intestinal thread." Little Beckland said.

Chen Qiang is not perfunctory to Beckland. For Chen Qiang now, there is no difference between using artificial sheep intestinal racquets and using natural sheep intestinal racquets. This is not because Chen Qiang is already powerful and can use artificial sheep intestinal racquets as natural sheep intestinal racquets. It is because Chen Qiang's strength is not enough to distinguish between artificial sheep intestinal racquets and natural sheep intestinal racquets. In other words, the difference is the same as he uses, and the difference will not be too big, and it will not affect his performance.

Of course, artificial sheep intestine threads are different from natural sheep intestine threads. With the development of technology in the future, the materials of tennis lines have made great progress, and various new materials have emerged. However, many top professional tennis players still use tennis rackets with natural sheep intestine threads, such as the famous Federer, who uses natural sheep intestine threads.

Tennis players of Federer's level are very sensitive to the perception of tennis lines. Once he gets used to a certain tennis line and is asked to change it, it will be very uncomfortable to use, and it will also affect his performance in the game. Therefore, Federer has been using the same tennis line for decades.

However, there are only a handful of tennis players who can reach Federer's top strength. Professional tennis players with inferior strength are not so sensitive to the perception of rackets, and the requirements for tennis lines are not as harsh as Federer. As for ordinary professional tennis players, the requirements for tennis rackets are even lower. Even if they can feel the difference between artificial sheep intestine lines and natural sheep intestine lines during use, their strength will not become stronger because they are replaced with natural sheep intestine lines.

Such a phenomenon will also occur in table tennis. The more powerful a table tennis player is, the stricter the requirements for rackets. The top experts of the national team use rackets based on their personal technical characteristics. On the contrary, the worse the level, the lower the requirements for rackets. For example, for table tennis beginners in primary and secondary schools, there is no problem with dozens of people using one racket.

The same is true for those e-sports players, especially those who play shooting games. Professional players have to adapt to a new type of mouse for a long time, while ordinary players can play any mouse in an Internet cafe without any mistakes.

In this regard, the lower the level of tennis players, the less impact they have on their strength after changing to new equipment. For a world-class player like Federer, if you change to a new racket, your strength may drop by 20%. For amateur tennis players, it doesn’t matter whether they change to a racket or not. Even if they use a racket with natural sheep intestinal thread, they will not be able to play professionally.

Chen Qiang's current tennis level is comparable to Federer, even compared with ordinary tennis professionals in the future, he is not as good as picky as the tennis line.

Chen Qiang's current strength will not affect his strength performance even if he uses artificial sheep intestinal lines. From the perspective of the future, Chen Qiang is at most a high-level amateur tennis player. His performance is about the same level as a racket with a racket with a racket with a racket with a racket with a racket with a racket with a price of 500,000.

I heard Bakerland continue, "After you participated in the US Open competition, our new tennis rackets have also attracted a lot of attention. No one has come to return the goods now, and the merchants who used to return the goods have asked for re-purchase, and the situation is getting better."

"It seems that I have to continue to work hard. When I win the US Open championship, our new tennis racket will be accepted by the world." Chen Qiang said.

"You have entered the semi-finals, which is a very good result. But the next game will probably be a bit difficult for you. I heard that your next opponent is Jack Krama, who is a difficult guy." Little Beckland said.

Chen Qiang nodded, "I have heard of him as the second seed of this year's US Open. I have read his information. It seems that his first time participating in the US Open competition was in 1939, which happened to be the same as my winning US Open championship in 1938."

Jack Krama is a legendary tennis player. Many people may not have heard of his name. His career performance is one level worse than that of those great players. In history, Jack Krama won his first Grand Slam singles championship in 1946. He only won three Grand Slam singles championships in his career, but he has six Grand Slam championships in doubles.

Although Jack Krama did not win many championships, she made great contributions to tennis. Since the 1950s, Jack Krama began to advocate the establishment of a tennis open system. As early as 1960, he proposed to introduce the open system to the International Tennis Federation, but it was not reached by a 5 vote in the voting. Fortunately, this proposal was finally passed in 1968, and tennis has since entered the open era. In other words, without Jack Krama's unremitting efforts over the past decade, there would be no open era for tennis players, and tennis would not have ushered in great development.

In 1970, Jack Krama created the men's Grand Prix points system, which has been used to this day. Now, check the points rankings of the Professional Tennis Federation (ATP), such as Nadal ranked first in the world, Djokovic ranked second in the world, and Federer ranked third in the world, which is established by Jack Krama. The Professional Tennis Federation (ATP) established in 1972, Jack Krama is also one of the founders.

...

Jack Krama started participating in the US Open in 1939. In that year, he was defeated by the No. 11 seed in the second round; in 1940, he became famous by defeating the No. 4 seed in the quarterfinals, but lost to the No. 2 seed in the semi-finals; in 1941, he reached the quarterfinals as the No. 11 seed, and eventually lost to the No. 3 seed in the 1942 game. Jack Krama did not participate. However, at the 1943 US Open, Jack Krama still performed well and entered the semi-finals.

In 1940 and 1941, Jack Kramar won two doubles titles in the US Open, so he is also a well-known figure in the US Open. However, Jack Kramar's singles peak was in 1946, when he won the US Open, and the following year he won the double championships between Wimbledon and US Open.

In addition to playing tennis, Jack Krama also has a job as a Coast Guard, so he is just an amateur tennis player. So in terms of strength, Jack Krama is definitely not a match for Chen Qiang.

However, what Chen Qiang did not expect was that Jack Krama was very interested in the new tennis racket, and he even proposed to borrow a new tennis racket from Chen Qiang to play games.

Changing a new racket on the spot is a taboo in the game, and Jack Krama is even more exaggerated. He actually borrowed rackets from his opponent on the spot!

Chen Qiang came to play the game and brought several rackets, so he simply gave one of them to Jack Krama.

"Do you want to give it to me? Thank you so much!" Jack Krama showed an ecstatic expression. Chen Qiang could feel that Jack Krama was not pretending.

"This is a new tennis racket. It feels like it is no different from a traditional racket. Is this racket really only cost one-third of the original one?" Jack Krama said with love when she was playing with the new racket.

Chen Qiang replied, "In terms of current production technology, the new tennis racket will drop to one-third of the original one. If the process level can be improved, it may be cheaper!"

"That's great! If this new racket is really not much different from a traditional racket, I will use this new racket in the future." Jack Cramar paused and continued, "I am the son of a railway worker, so my family is not rich. Although I achieved results in the Junior Tennis Championships when I was a child, my family is not enough to support me in tennis. Fortunately, I was lucky and received sponsorship from the Southern California Tennis Association. They were optimistic about my potential and allowed me to go there to train. I still remember when I was a child, I had to walk several hours a day to train in Montebello..."

After Jack Krama introduced himself, Chen Qiang learned that Jack Krama was not the kind of rich child, he was a "civilian" who played tennis. Tennis was a noble sport at that time, and there were only a handful of civilian players like Jack Krama. This is also the reason, Jack Krama was particularly interested in the new tennis racket. He hoped that this new tennis racket could bring a revolution to tennis and allow more children from civilian families to integrate into tennis.

Jack Krama is a true tennis enthusiast. Historically, he advocated the establishment of an open system, the establishment of a tennis score system, and the establishment of a professional tennis association (ATP). It can be seen that he sincerely hopes that tennis can develop.

At this time, Chen Qiang suddenly felt that it might be a good thing to ask Jack Krama to promote the new tennis racket. After all, Jack Krama is a person who truly loves tennis. He spent his whole life promoting the development of tennis. It is the most suitable candidate to be responsible for the promotion of the new tennis racket.

So Chen Qiang asked, "Jack, what else do you do besides playing tennis?"

"I have a job in the Coast Guard and occasionally go abroad for some missions." Jack Krama answered.

The United States has a long coastline, so the U.S. Coast Guard is a huge armed force, affiliated with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and is one of the five major armed forces in the United States. Now it is a war period again. Japanese submarines are likely to appear on the west coast of the United States, and German submarines may also appear on the east coast of the United States. Therefore, the U.S. Coast Guard in this era is unprecedentedly powerful and is the last line of defense in the U.S. territorial waters.

So Chen Qiang asked again, "Jack, are you interested in coming to work here? Let's promote this new type of tennis racket?"

"Ah?" Jack Krama seemed a little surprised. He didn't expect that before the game, Chen Qiang, as an opponent, would actually send him an invitation to work.
