Chapter 212 Soaring Forward

The score of the first set was 6-0, and Frank Parker was also shaved by Chen Qiang.

Frank Parker has long realized that this game has no chance of winning, whether it is a service game or a return game, Frank Parker is passive everywhere, almost every ball is a hard support, and the reason why Frank Parker has been able to hold on until now is not to expect a miracle to happen, so that he can turn defeat into victory, but because the dignity of professional players makes him unable to give up the game so easily.

After six rounds of torment, Frank Parker couldn't hold on, and he chose to abstain. Perhaps for Frank Parker, this kind of throw is also a decent ending.

After admitting defeat, Frank Parker breathed a sigh of relief, he has played tennis for more than ten years and has lost many matches, but he has never lost so humiliating as today.

Throughout the game, Frank Parker felt like a marionette, completely manipulated, and he didn't play to his characteristics, or he didn't have the opportunity to play at all.

And until the moment Frank Parker abstained, he didn't know how he lost.

Chen Qiang was a little surprised by the result of such a game, he didn't expect his advantage to be so big, even if he was the seventh seed of the United States, he was powerless in front of him.

"I thought it would take a lot of trouble to win this fight, but I didn't expect it to be so easy. It is no wonder that later generations commented that tennis before the Open era could only be regarded as an amateur level, and they were all seeded players in the US Open, but they were still so vulnerable, and it seems that the tennis skills of the 21st century can easily beat the tennis players of the thirties. ”

Chen Qiang carefully analyzed it and found that athletes in this era would not be able to deal with topspin at all, and this was the main reason for his victory.

When tennis developed into the 21st century, topspin has become the number one weapon in tennis, and every top player in the world must have the world's top topspin, and even Nadal's extreme spinning topspin.

Federer's forehand is varied, amazingly powerful, and accurate, and is known as the "Hand of God", which is actually the characteristics of the topspin ball with fast descending speed, forward momentum, high stability, and easy control of the landing point to the extreme.

Of course, Federer's "Hand of God" is not just as simple as topspin, and countless tennis coaches and tennis players in the future are studying Federer's "Hand of God", and they are also imitating and learning Federer's "Hand of God", but no one can do Federer's example.

In the 21st century, players with excellent topspin can win the four Grand Slams of tennis, and this is clearly the trend in the development of tennis. So in the thirties, this set of technology was of course invincible, and it can be said that Chen Qiang brought the technology of dominating the tennis world in the 21st century to the thirties, which is of course invincible.

This is like using the 21st century method of warfare to deal with the enemy in the 30s, and the soldiers in the 30s were still digging trenches, building pillboxes, erecting machine guns, and arranging artillery positions, but they did not know that the soldiers of the 21st century had already locked on to them with satellites, and then pressed a button, and the missiles were launched, and the bunker positions were wiped out at once. The soldiers of the thirties would be confused, they didn't know how to lose, they didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, how could they all be wiped out?

Tennis players in the thirties, facing the tennis skills of the 21st century, are also like this, even if they lose, they don't know how they lost. They'll think, I'm playing without a problem, why did I lose!

……

When Chen Qiang defeated Lanas before, it didn't attract people's attention, after all, it was only the first round of the US Open, and Lanas and Chen Qiang are not seeded players, so it is normal for no one to pay attention. Even in later generations, the first round of the four Grand Slams will not be reported in great detail on the matches of unseeded players.

However, when Chen Qiang defeated Frank Parker, the American seventh seed, which should not have been eliminated before the fourth round, Chen Qiang eliminated Frank Parker in the second round, which was equivalent to a big upset.

What's more, Frank Parker actually surrendered directly after losing a 0-6, which surprised many people.

The American No. 7 seed can also be ranked in the top 10 among all the players, and such a high-level player has been shaved bald, I'm afraid that even the No. 1 seed Don Budge can't do it.

At this time, even the dullest person has realized that Chen Qiang's strength in tennis is absolutely extraordinary. Being able to enter the third round of the US Open can already be regarded as a first-class tennis master, and the promotion of the seventh seed with a clean sheet is quite golden.

……

Chen's next opponent is Joseph Hunter, who is only 19 years old and a freshman at the University of Southern California. However, the freshman's quality should not be underestimated, as he recently won the U.S. Ojay Championship, his first adult title.

Joseph Hunter has historically won the 1943 US Open, and he is the only singles player to win the US Junior (under 15), junior (under 18), college and US Open.

However, this Joseph Hunter died young, after the outbreak of World War II, Joseph Hunt joined the U.S. Army, became a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy, and in February 1945, near the end of World War II, a battery training mission cost him his life.

Although Joseph Hunter is not a seeded player, he is a college tennis star, and in the United States, college athletes are very popular, so Joseph Hunter's match with Chen Qiang attracted a lot of spectators, and the scene was almost full.

A lot of young people came to watch Joseph Hunter play, including a lot of young girls. However, in terms of appearance alone, Joseph Hunter is indeed very handsome, and his figure is also very good, which can be regarded as a small fresh meat at that time, and can definitely attract the attention of many people of the opposite sex.

Joseph Hunter has won the U.S. junior championship and youth championship, and has never lost a game since entering college, and his growth experience has made him very confident in himself, quite like a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

And Joseph Hunt grew up in Southern California, and in 1938, many of the tennis courts in the western United States were the product of Roosevelt's New Deal, which were mainly concrete floors, rather than grass or clay fields, which were somewhat similar to the cement hard surfaces of the later U.S. Open. Joseph Hunter, who is accustomed to playing concrete, is one of those power players, has a dangerous serve, and is good at aggressive net volleys.

This is a characteristic of players who have been playing hard courts for a long time, and the same will be true for many American tennis players in the future, and there has never been a shortage of "heavy gunners" among American players, which is related to the fact that most of the American tennis courts are hard surfaces.

……

Unlike the previous Lanas and Frank Parker, although Joseph Hunter has been beaten by Chen Qiang, he did not choose to abstain, even though the score of the first two sets was 6-0, but Joseph Hunter still insisted on playing the third set, his persistence also brought rewards, with continuous attempts, Joseph Hunter gradually found a way to catch the topspin.

As the saying goes, you can't fall from the same place twice, if you suffer too much, stupid people will change, not to mention that Joseph Hunt is not stupid at all, on the contrary, he is also very smart and talented. So he slowly found a way to deal with the topspin ball, at least to catch it.

"I'm 0-2 down in Oita, but fortunately, the game is a best-of-five system, and then I only need to win three sets in a row, so the victory is still mine!"

In the face of adversity, Joseph Hunt was not discouraged, but was full of fighting spirit and planned to turn the situation back in the next three games.

Joseph Hunter serves, and this time the serve is of high quality, powerful and fast.

Chen Qiang received this ball, but the quality of the serve is relatively average, and in the face of this high-quality fast ball, in addition to the need for skill to catch it, it also requires some luck.

Joseph Hunter on the opposite side also noticed that the quality of Chen Qiang's return this time was not high, and he did not give up this opportunity, but directly returned the ball to the opposite side, so that Chen Qiang needed to run more distance to receive this ball.

In the next few beats, Joseph Hunter made full use of the advantages accumulated when serving, constantly mobilizing Chen Qiang to run back and forth on the baseline. Due to Joseph Hunter's very fast ball speed, Chen Qiang ran back and forth in the backcourt, but never found the initiative on the field.

This kind of holding the ball is not dangerous for Chen Qiang, at most it is just a few more steps. Joseph Hunter's batting seems to be constantly mobilizing Chen Qiang, but Chen Qiang is also given a lot of defensive space, basically the ball hits, and Chen Qiang can also run to the corresponding defensive position.

This kind of bottom-line holding ball is also the mainstream style of tennis in this era, and all tennis players played like this at that time, but in the process of holding each other, once there is a suitable time, players will choose to volley on the net.

At this time, Joseph Hunt seems to feel that now is a good time to go online.

"It's now, online volley!" At the same time that Joseph Hunt had this thought in his mind, his body was already moving and he rushed to the net.

The surrounding spectators let out a burst of exclamations, and in those days, the net volley was considered the most spectacular offensive action in tennis.

Joseph Hunter showed up in the path of the ball and slammed it back into the net with a hard swing as he prepared to celebrate his victory.

In tennis in the thirties, the net volley was the most ornamental offensive action, and it was also the most inexplicable offensive action, and the players of this era would not deal with the net volley at all, so as long as the opponent successfully completed a net volley, it basically meant scoring.

But for Chen Qiang, it is not impossible to catch the opponent's volley.

In the NTRP scoring criteria, a rating of 3.5 is still difficult to receive the opponent's volley, while a 4.0 deuce is already able to catch the long-range volley and the low net volley.

This time, Joseph Hunt used a low net volley, the height of the ball was not high, and it hit directly at the empty position of Chen Qiang's half.

However, what Joseph Hunt didn't expect was that Chen Qiang had already seen through his hitting route, and then took a few steps forward, which happened to appear in a very good receiving position.

I saw Chen Qiang swinging the racket to hit the ball, and the control of the topspin ball on the landing point of the tennis ball also made the tennis ball fly to the back of Joseph Hunter impartially.

"What!" Joseph Hunter was shocked, he never expected that someone would be able to catch the volley!

In the next second, the audience was also boiling.

"Did you see that? He caught the volley! ”

"Oh my God, how did he do it?"

"It's the first time I've seen someone in a game catch a volley!"

Even in later generations, the action of successfully catching a volley can be cut into the highlights, and in the thirties, such a technique was even more breathtaking!

On the other side, Joseph Hunter looked at Chen Qiang with an incredulous gaze.

"Coincidence, this must be a coincidence, he just happened to make that stroke!"

Joseph Hunt comforted himself before getting ready to serve again.

A few minutes later, Joseph Hunt found another chance to volley at the net, so he opted to repeat his old trick.

And Chen Qiang also chose to repeat the old tricks.

"Poof!" The sound of the tennis ball hitting the ground rang out from behind Joseph Hunter, who looked back and saw that the tennis ball had rolled out of bounds.

Chen Qiang received the volley again!

There was applause from the audience again, and Joseph Hunt realized once again that Chen Qiang had received the volley again.

If it was just once, it could be explained by coincidence, but if it happened twice, it must not be said that it was a coincidence.

"That Chinese, he really mastered the way to catch the volley!" Joseph Hunter looked at Chen Qiang with a surprised gaze, although he witnessed all this from the perspective of a victim, Joseph Hunter still couldn't believe it.

At this moment, Joseph Hunter has lost confidence, and the idea of winning three sets in a row has disappeared without a trace.

Joseph Hunt's two killer weapons are serve and net volleys. Under Chen Qiang's receiving technique, it is difficult for his serve to directly threaten Chen Qiang, at most it becomes a holding ball, and the net volley he relies on has now been cracked by Chen Qiang, which is equivalent to saying that Joseph Hunter's tricks to survive are invalid in front of Chen Qiang, and it is very difficult for him to score in the next game.

Joseph Hunter had lost faith and finished the third set in a mess, still 6-0.

6-0 in the third set and 3-0 in the big score, Chen Qiang easily defeated Joseph Hunter and advanced to the fourth round of the US Open.

Theoretically, the fourth round would be the time for the seeded players to meet, and if there are no surprises, Chen Qiang's opponent will be a seeded player.

……

On the other court, Australia's John Bromwich Albion won in straight sets against an American player.

The scores in the three sets were 6-2, 6-3 and 6-2, respectively, and it was a match with a huge margin in terms of results.

"Now for the fourth round, my opponent should be American No. 7 seed Frank Parker, right? No, I read the newspaper yesterday, Frank Parker has been eliminated, it is the Chinese who eliminated him, will my opponent be the Chinese? ”

Thinking of this, John Bromwich shook his head with a smile.

"The world's No. 1 athlete, what a bluffing title! But I also have the title of number one, I'm the number one foreign seed! ”
