Chapter 212: Grinding You to Death (Part II)
With a "wow", as the ball went out of bounds, the audience at the scene let out a burst of exclamation at the same time, and then sent overwhelming applause to the performance of the players on both sides. It can be said that this ball is the most exciting point since the beginning of the game. The players on both sides showed the audience a very ornamental offensive and defensive battle, and with the appearance of this ball, the atmosphere of the scene was also pushed to a new **.
It's just that most of the audience are still surprised by the final result of this point. Because from the perspective of the field, Baghdatis is in absolute dominance, almost from the first leg, he firmly occupies the initiative of this ball.
Pancic, on the other hand, was just defending passively from start to finish and didn't get any offensive opportunities. Despite the tenacity of the defence, by the time the ball went out of bounds, almost everyone thought it was only a matter of time before Baghdatis took the point.
Baghdatis, who was standing behind the bottom line and panting, knew very well how the situation just now had happened. If the audience thinks that he just made an accidental mistake in the end, then he knows that it is his last chance.
Not for anything else, because he can't fight anymore. Although it belongs to the attacker, the running distance is less than Pansic, I don't know how much. But with so many shots of continuous high-intensity attacks, the consumption of physical energy is still very considerable.
After reaching fifteen beats, in fact, he had already gritted his teeth and persevered, thinking that if he endured it a little longer, he would soon be able to beat Pan Xiqi to death. Who knew that in his twenties, Pansic was still like a little strong, and he could save the ball alive or dead. Therefore, Baghdatis, who felt that the limit of his physical strength was approaching, had no choice but to pin all his hopes on the final blow.
This time, however, luck was not on his side. In fact, the main reason is that because of the exhaustion of physical energy, he can no longer control his body precisely. For a 32-year-old veteran, this high-intensity, multi-round duel is beyond the limits of his body.
It took twenty seconds of rest for Baghdatis to fully recover from the previous ball. At this point, Panci was ready to continue serving, and if it dragged on, the referee would have to warn Baghdatis of overtime.
Baghdatis, who had recovered his physical condition, quickly put that mistake behind him. In his mind, Pansic's defensive play just now was an unexpected situation, and in the future, as long as he continued to keep attacking, it would be difficult to reproduce such a wonderful defense at Pansiqi's level.
On the second serve, Panci chose to serve to the outside corner of the second zone. Baghdatis is a confident double-reverse extension, and he is very resolute in sneaking into Pansiqi's straight position. This time, Baghdatis had another successful extension. The tennis ball smashed into Pansiqi's bottom right corner with great precision, leaving little time for Panci to return to the defense.
Seeing that he was once again blasting out high-quality returns, Baghdatis felt that the feeling of omnipotence before had returned to his body. With a loud snort, Baghdatis didn't intend to give Pansiqi any chance, and went directly to the net with the ball.
This time it was a recreation of the original version of the last ball of the previous game, and Baghdatis, standing in front of the net, almost sealed Panci's possible crossing line.
"Hehe, you were lucky last time, this time, see if you don't obediently tie your hands and catch it." With his eyes fixed on Pansiqi, who was moving at high speed on the baseline, Baghdatis decided to teach Panci a good lesson with a violent volley.
Faced with this situation for the second time, Pansiqi naturally would not make the same mistake. Especially during the break, he also made an analysis of this ball, how to resolve the crisis in front of him, and he can be said to be in the chest.
Quickly coming to the forehand position, Pansic narrowly blocked the tennis racket face diagonally upwards before the tennis ball landed for the second time, and directly returned an overhead high ball.
"Damn, here we go again!" It didn't occur that Pansiqi didn't want to cross at all, but wanted to go over his top with a high ball, and Baghdatis was taken aback. The ball was similar to Pansizy's moon ball just now, so he immediately judged that he would not be able to reach it even if he jumped with all his might.
Baghdatis, who made a judgment, immediately turned around and chased after him. Thankfully, the ball was too high in arc, so it was in the air for a long time, enough time for Baghdatis to get back to the baseline before the ball hit the ground.
A few big strides back to the baseline, just turned around, and the tennis ball landed and rebounded. Baghdatis looked back at the moon and instinctively turned the tennis ball back to the other side of the court where Pancich was.
I have to say that this emergency ball Baghdatis handled quite well and did not let Panci sneak attack succeed. But at the same time, it also means that the advantage that Baghdatis has built up on the serve is now gone.
However, Baghdatis couldn't complain much more, and thankfully the ball was saved. At this time, he thought that he could only look for offensive opportunities in the later rounds.
Pan Xiqi on the opposite side was naturally happy to play a long battle with him, and he didn't expect to score directly with the overhead high ball just now. Since Baghdatis slowed down, he naturally accepted it gladly, and took the initiative to drag the game into a stalemate.
Immediately after, a confrontation with more rounds than the previous one was born. In the end, the two sides fought for nearly 30 rounds before finally deciding the winner. During this time, Baghdatis took out almost all the weapons in his offensive arsenal, and at the same time tried them all over with cutting, rotating, etc.
It can be said that with his current good state, there are several shots of attack, if he was facing other players, he would have scored directly. But now, Pan Xiqi on the other side is like a dog skin plaster that can't be shaken off, sticking to him.
You attack, he defends; You defend, and he defends; You let him attack, he still defends. No matter how Baghdatis changes his moves, Pansiqi responds to all changes with the same, and calls Baghdatis helpless.
Finally, Baghdatis, who once again felt the coming of physical strength, took the lead and couldn't help it. If the fight isn't resolved in the next few beats, he's really going to be unable to fight. With a fast-paced forehand roll, Baghdatis swept the ball at the feet of Panci as fast as he could. At the same time, the body rushed to the net without pause, preparing to forcibly create a volley in front of the net. For him, it's a matter of success or failure.
Sure enough, the unexpected chase ball somewhat disrupted Pancic's defensive rhythm. In desperation, Pansic made another casual block and could only handle the ball. But this time, he bounced a high ball again.
Standing in front of the net and looking up at the tennis ball flying high above his head, Baghdatis lamented in his heart, he really didn't have the physical strength to continue chasing this ball.
The tennis ball landed steadily, and the landing point was still very safe, one step away from the bottom line. With the tennis ball flying out of the backcourt, Panci once again had the last laugh in this multi-round stalemate.
