Chapter 100: Take the lead in breaking the shot
After trying a variety of return positions, Zhang Ze felt very frustrated in his heart when he was still held by Pan Xiqi with four straight points. You must know that as a domestic TOP2 player, playing the opponent's fart and urine in the opponent's service game is the right way to open it, and when has he suffered such a big shame. However, this also shows that Pansiqi's serve is terrible, even the top domestic masters, there is no way to crack it well.
That's the way tennis is the case, once you have a serve that your opponent can't solve, then you win most of the match in the first place. After all, at this time, you can focus on the opponent's serve to seek as many break opportunities as possible.
At the start of the second game, Pansiqi's intentions were evident. Under normal circumstances, Pansiqi will not be too aggressive in the opponent's service game at the beginning, but will play steadily and understand the basic characteristics of the opponent first.
But this time he is facing a famous player who has been famous for a long time, and it seems that he was inspired by Wu Enemy in the last game, and Pan Xiqi also wants to take the lead in the score as soon as possible to take the lead in taking the psychological advantage.
Zhang Ze's serve is also very good for domestic players, after all, his height of 1.88 meters is there, and he has some advantages in nature. But unlike those heavy gunners, Zhang Ze's serve is not very fast in absolute terms, usually around 180 kilometers.
However, he has a good grasp of where the serve lands, and can often rely on subtle points to prevent opponents from returning the serve smoothly.
When it came to his own service game, Zhang Ze obviously planned to do the same. I thought that although my serve power was far inferior to Pansiqi's, just relying on those tricky landing points should be enough for Pansiqi to drink a pot.
In the first minute, Zhang Ze sent the ball directly to the T point in the inner corner. This landing point is a great test of the player's hand, and the slightest mistake will lead to a service error. This time, Zhang Ze succeeded, and the tennis ball flew out of his racket at 182 kilometers per hour and headed straight for the inside corner.
It stands to reason that Zhang Ze's serve is impeccable, and it is difficult for the opponent to make high-quality extensions. But what he didn't expect was that Pan Xiqi, who had undergone body transformation, was really the strongest not to serve, but to predict the landing point and the body's reaction speed.
From the moment the tennis ball leaves the opponent's racket, he has already judged where the ball will land. As if reflexively, he moved directly under his feet, moving very quickly towards the inner corner.
Under normal circumstances, the player who judges the opposite direction will choose to use a backhand to catch the ball with an inside corner serve, which can reduce the movement of footsteps. But Panci felt that this was not enough, after all, he had plenty of time to move on his feet. Approaching the halfway point, he didn't stop, but took two more steps to the left. In this way, he went straight from a backhand catch to a forehand return.
Zhang Ze on the opposite side didn't realize what was happening at all, and when he was secretly glad that the serve was pressed on the line, Panci had already completed the movement, dodging, and hitting the ball. In this way, in the face of Zhang Ze's inside corner serve, Pan Xiqi stubbornly hit a backslash with his forehand.
The tennis ball went straight to the opposite corner away from Zhang Ze and pressed steadily into the line. It can be seen that Pansiqi's ball does not pursue the limit landing point at all, as long as the success rate is guaranteed, he can score steadily.
"0:15, Zhang Ze fell behind in the second game."
As soon as he came up, he was beaten back by Pan Xiqi to score directly, but when he sent a good ball, Zhang Ze's face couldn't hang up at all. The current situation gave him the illusion that he was playing against the world's top players. Although he hasn't had a chance to play against the top players yet, in his mind, it probably will be more than that.
The opening five points in a row were all won by Pan Xiqi, which also surprised the audience who supported Zhang Ze on the spot, and the cheering sound that was quite strong at the beginning also weakened a lot. Under the influence of each other, the shouts of Pansiqi's supporters became louder.
Feeling the change in the atmosphere on the sidelines, beads of sweat gradually began to appear on Zhang Ze's forehead. For him, although he expected the game to be tough, he didn't expect Panci to be so ferocious at the beginning, as if he wanted to eat himself in one go.
Zhang Ze, who has been in the tennis world for many years, has unlimited scenery in China, where can he swallow this breath. On the next serve, he began to launch his own counterattacks.
When he came to the second district, he chose the landing point of the big outer corner. In this way, Pansiqi, who has a backhand extension, can also be pulled off the court so that he can score in the air. It can be said that Zhang Ze's landing point is still very accurate, and under the condition of ensuring a certain speed, the tennis ball smashed directly on the sideline of the court.
The second zone was sent to the outside corner by the opponent, and Panci can be regarded as having encountered many times in the previous games. He also has his own set of solutions for this situation. Aren't you going to pull me out of the field, then you don't want to stay in the field.
Taking a step to the left, the SLR in the right hand was lightly picked, and the classic small slash in front of the net appeared again.
The tennis ball spans the entire court and lands directly on the outside touchline of the tee box diagonally opposite.
This shallow and biased position is also extremely uncomfortable for Zhang Ze, who has just finished serving, not only to run forward, but also to run out, which is equivalent to running out of an arc. Quickly rushed to the return position, although it was a ball in front of the net, but because the direction of running was not opposite to the direction of the ball rebound, Zhang Ze was not good at exerting force, so he could only push the ball back to Pansiqi's court.
It stands to reason that Zhang Ze's handling of this is no problem at all, because of the serve, Pansiqi has been pulled out of the court by him, and now as long as he returns the ball to Pansiqi's court, he will play empty and score.
But how could Pan Xiqi let the other party succeed so easily, when Zhang Ze ran to save the ball, he also rushed back to the field non-stop. And when Zhang Ze nudged the ball over, he was already waiting at the bottom line.
At this time, Zhang Ze, who came to the front court, was completely exposed on the right rear court, and Pan Xiqi, who was waiting for the rabbit, picked up a forehand slash lightly, and easily scored directly through the crossing.
"0:30, Zhang Ze fell behind in the second game."
Seeing that his well-designed serve was cracked by Pan Xiqi with such a combination, Zhang Ze finally became a little anxious. After falling behind by two goals, his palms began to get wet, which was a sign of his inner nervousness.
On the third serve, Zhang Ze, who was a little trembling in his right hand, went directly out of bounds. In desperation, he could only reduce his strength to keep the second serve, and the ball speed was reduced to less than 150.
In the face of such a good opportunity, how could Pansiqi let it go. This time, he was even more exaggerated, stepping directly into the field and aiming at the incoming ball was a shot to grab the rise and press down violently. The tennis ball roared and smashed on Zhang Ze's court, looking at the speed of the ball, it seemed to be faster than Zhang Ze's second serve.
Faced with three consecutive break points, Zhang Ze was completely aware of the arrival of the crisis. However, Pancic's return in the first three points was so offensive that he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
In desperation, he still sent a mid-lane chase ball to slow down Panci's offensive momentum. But who knows, Pan Xiqi still didn't care about the direct dodge attack, but he didn't hit a big angle, but just quickly returned to a bottom line in the middle of the deep area.
This ball is a little chasing, Zhang Ze, who was engrossed in preparing for the opponent's large-angle return ball, was caught off guard, and he had no time to move out of the return position, so he had to block it with a forehand on the spot, and the tennis ball did not eat the Nakata point, and went directly to the net.
With four points in a row, Pancich took the lead in the semifinals.
Wonderful!
