Chapter 231: Quarterfinals

The fourth round had just begun, and after only one round, Li Cai's opponent Fish fell ill and could no longer play a fierce match, so he had to retire halfway through. Fastest updates

Li Cai was lucky to win without a fight.

And Li Cai's opponent in the quarterfinals is "Nerve Knife" Berdych.

Sure enough, after the fourth round, Li Cai's quarter-final opponent was Berdych instead of Spain's Almagro.

Berdych is one of the most capable players on the ATP World Tour, and in addition to his frequent performances on the court, Berdych's witty and funny tweets have also attracted fans and made him popular.

And after the game, he naturally knew that Li was his opponent in the next round.

So he humorously said on Twitter: "Oh! God is gone from me, and the opponent is so strong. ”

Obviously, Berdych felt too much pressure on Li Cai's strength, so he could only use the Internet to chat with fans to relieve the pressure.

…………

On September 5, the tenth day of the 2012 U.S. Open, the highlight of the day was No. 6 seed Berdych taking on top seed Li Cai.

The game entered the quarterfinals, and the remaining four groups had Murray, Djokovic, and Federer, but their opponents were not as good as Li Cai's opponent Berdych, not to mention that many viewers wanted to see if Berdych could play his "nerve knife" and win Li Cai in an upset.

So this game also attracted a lot of spectators to watch the game, and many Americans expected Berdych to defeat Li Cai and advance to the semifinals, after all, in the eyes of American audiences, Li Cai is the big devil, and Berdych is the warrior who challenges the demon king.

However, Li Cai also has a lot of supporters, because the US Open is near the famous Chinese community in New York, and the Chinese audience will of course support Li Cai, and the momentum in the court is not weaker than Berdych's supporters.

At the beginning of the first set of the game, although it was not the first time that the two sides met, they played to the quarterfinals, so the first four games were more cautious on both sides, one was a mutual temptation, and the other was a warm-up.

Berdych's serve was really good, with four aces in his first two service games, and Lee Cai was no less than he did with five aces in his first two service games, more than Berdych.

After four games, the score of the two sides was 2:2.

In the fifth game of Berdych's serve, he began to strengthen his attack, and the service point became more extreme, showing the strength of his "nerve knife".

Berdych serves crisply, but his attacking skills are inconsistent, as he calls them.

Although Berdych's style of play restrained Federer, who is an attacking player, many people think that Li Cai, who is also an attacking player, has a chance to win the game.

It's a pity that although Li Cai's offensive methods are not as diverse as Federer's, he is more stable and powerful than Federer.

In the end, Li Cai won the first game with a score of 6:4 with a one-round break.

Berdych is a very experienced player, after all, and he made adjustments to his tactics during the break between games, and he felt that he still had to play to his strengths and avoid weaknesses and get the most out of his serve.

At the beginning of the second game, Berdych successfully held serve through continuous high-speed serves, showing the strength of his "nerve knife", and Berdych at this time increased his momentum, as if he saw a broad road to victory.

"Berdych looks very imposing, he is convulsive! It looks like he has to be suppressed, I haven't served with all my strength for a long time, and many people have forgotten that I broke the top speed at the US Open!" Li Cai's eyes flashed cold, and then he took a deep breath and prepared to serve with a charged serve.

"Hah!" Li shouted as he waved his racket, and then the tennis ball fell directly on Berdych's half court, and then bounced out of bounds.

Berdych stood still, unmoved, completely unresponsive.

"So fast! It's as if you only saw a shadow flash. Berdych exclaimed in surprise.

This time the serve allowed Li to find some touch, and the next ball, he still chose a strong and fast serve, while Berdych still stood in place, as if there was no reaction.

The crowd was silent, there was no doubt about the score, the key was the speed of the serve, and when the ball speed display showed the speed, the audience suddenly resounded with a scream of excitement.

"300 kilometers per hour! 300 kilometers per hour, equaling Li Cai's own world record!" exclaimed the narrator like a chicken.

Berdych, who was standing opposite, looked at this number, his face had changed significantly, this ball speed was indeed beyond imagination, Li Cai rarely played such a fast ball speed after breaking the record last year, and it also made many people think that Li Cai could not play such an invincible ball speed.

Li Cai began to serve the third ball, which was still conservative, but still extremely fast.

The referee announced the score of "40:0", and the next moment the commentator directly shouted: "My God, the speed is 301 kilometers per hour! I read it right, there is no problem with our machine! This number broke Li Cai's own ball speed record last year, and broke through the speed of 300 kilometers per hour, which can be called the human limit, which is really amazing." ”

On the field, Berdych opened his mouth and looked incredulously at the number on the speed display.

Although Li Cai's serve was not so fast next, with his super fast serve, Li Cai still suppressed Berdych's momentum.

Berdych was extremely frustrated, the morale that had been boosted in a service game just now suddenly disappeared without a trace, the original feeling of feeling hot in his hand also dissipated instantly, and the convulsions cooled down.

In the next game, Berdych was in no state, the same as he was called, or he had no confidence to continue playing, Li Cai did not give Berdych too much pressure, but Berdych himself will have more unforced mistakes.

6:2 and 6:1, the scores of the second and third games, Li Cai easily defeated Berdych, won the game, and entered the semifinals.

This result is actually expected by many professionals, but the process of the competition has not been expected by many people.

Li Cai actually broke his own service record, exceeding 300 kilometers per hour and reaching 301 kilometers per hour, and last year many people thought that no one could break this record, 300 kilometers per hour is the human limit, but as a record holder, Li Cai himself broke this limit and slapped these experts in the face.

At this time, Li Cai only had two games left before the annual Golden Slam.
