Chapter 257: A New Trick for Hair Extension
Relying on three consecutive offensive errors by Querrey, Panci saved the first break point and brought the first set back to parity. Although from the point of view of the audience, these points are not much different from the previous match, it is just that Quiley is a little unlucky. But McEnroe, as a seasoned veteran, still found that the game was different from before.
"With these few mistakes, Quirrey missed a great opportunity to break, and it was really unlucky. John, do you think Querrey will get the same chance in the next fight? The host asked with a little regret.
"Sam, I don't agree with you. In those few minutes, it looks like Querrey is still in the driver's seat, but it seems to me that he is falling into the trap of the opposition. It seems that the Chinese players have inadvertently taken the initiative to change their moves. McEnroe replied with a slight frown.
"What does this mean? Didn't Querey make a mistake just now? I don't think Pancich seems to have much offense. The moderator disagreed with McEnroe.
"On a tennis court, it's not like you're attacking only with a big angle. Sometimes, seemingly inconspicuous rotational changes can hide a stronger killing intention. In the few minutes just now, Panci was obviously using a combination of up-and-down spin and sidespin changes to lure Quiley to launch an active attack. You don't know if you're not on the court, and only the moment the racket actually touches the tennis ball, you can feel the power of the spin it carries. McEnroe seemed to recall images of himself galloping on the pitch.
As an attacking player, McEnroe didn't suffer less from spinning as a player. Those old opponents, relying on their supernatural rotation control, can often restrain his violent attacks. Therefore, as soon as he saw Pansiqi's change of tactics, he sensitively sensed the danger.
Since McEnroe on the sidelines can see Pancizi's intentions, how can Queirey, as a veteran player, not feel it. It's just that at this time, he is also in a difficult situation to ride a tiger, although he knows that Pan Xiqi has obviously strengthened the rotation of the return ball, which makes it extremely difficult for him to fight. But if he doesn't stick to a decisive attack and play a transition ball with Panci, it doesn't mean that the fighting tactics he developed before the game can no longer be used in the next games. This was an outcome that he could not accept in any way.
After some decision, Quirrey decided to continue with the full-court fight tactics in the next service game. After all, it will be your turn to serve soon, and you will occupy a certain degree of court advantage, at least it should not be too much of a problem to keep this game.
On the first serve, Querrey used the powerful and heavy middle chase ball as usual. Although he was directly killed by Pansiqi several times before, the overall effect was still good. After all, chasing the ball at a speed of nearly 220 kilometers per hour, Pansiqi couldn't react quickly and couldn't hit too big a return angle, so he mostly returned the ball in the middle. In this way, Querrey's direct attack after serving does not need to do too much body movement, and the success rate is also guaranteed to a certain extent.
In response to this problem, Panci has not tried to change the initiative before, and the receiving position is a little back. But in this way, Quiley, who often sends a ball speed of 220 kilometers, has a greater advantage on the serve. Taking advantage of the wide-angle serve on either side, Querrey took the opportunity to get a decent number of aces.
Realizing that in the face of a serve master of Quirrey's level, the ordinary receiving position is too passive. In desperation, Pansiqi had no choice but to change back to the position of taking a step forward from the bottom line, and finally he could smoothly return the opponent's serve.
However, this time in the face of Quirrey's chasing serve, Panci did not plan to use the previous hard-top method to extend the hair. I saw that he faced the incoming ball, and his body twisted slightly to the left, giving up a small forehand space to hit the ball. Immediately after that, he held the racket in his right hand and lightly slashed the tennis ball, and actually used a cutting method to catch the opponent's serve.
This return is basically the same as Pansic's previous return line, and it is also back on the opponent's middle court. It's just that in terms of ball speed, it's a lot worse. Compared to the previous frontal bouncing return, this slice is slower and lighter, and the power is far less than before. It's just that the flight altitude seems to be lower, and the tennis ball will take the net past the midfield, and almost go directly to the net and make a mistake.
"With such a soft return, it seems that Pansiqi should have made a mistake in this return. For such a good opportunity, Quirrey should not be able to seize it again. An American viewer was excited to see this.
"Strong downspin! Oops, it's a trap! Quirrey must not fall into the trap of the other party! McEnroe was shocked when he saw Pancizi's return.
For Pansizi's return, Quirrey is actually on guard. From the feeling of the tennis ball's flight, he immediately judged that it was a return ball with strong downspin spin. The embarrassing scene of facing Pansiqi's downspin ball directly to the bottom of the net belt Querey naturally will not forget, so this ball, he decided to change.
However, that doesn't mean Quarey has to give up on taking the initiative. In fact, in the face of such a strong downspin, the safest way for Querrey to return the ball is to pull a strong topspin or cut the ball back. If he still insists on pressing down as he did before, it will be impossible to cross the net anyway.
But this time, he wants to improve the success rate of his returns while maintaining his return aggressiveness. Therefore, he moved his feet in place early, and actually made a move that made the audience jaw-dropping.
I saw that in the moment before hitting the ball, he lowered his body's center of gravity at an extremely astonishing speed and completed a very difficult squat action. Although this squat action is nothing at all for a player who is on the short side. But for Quirrey, who is more than 1.9 meters tall, it is really commendable to be able to lower the center of gravity to this extent.
As he thought he had lowered high enough, Querrey threw a quick right-hand kick with both hands to smash the tennis ball directly into the open space on the other side of the court. It's just that at the moment of touching the ball, his racket card is horizontal to push the tennis ball, not like before, with a strong downward pressure action.
"A lower center of gravity, a flatter shot, this time you should be able to cross the net, right?" After the ball, Querrey looked at the tennis ball away from him with anticipation.
However, the next moment, his face was full of disappointment. Because when the tennis ball passed through the net, it was intercepted directly due to the lack of height over the net, and Querrey made a mistake in returning the ball.
