Chapter 195: Overcoming Rigidity with Softness

It's strange to say, in the usual tennis game, in the face of more than 200 kilometers of serve, the average player just thinks about catching the ball back smoothly first. But now, under Pansiqi's first initiation, both sides of this game are actually thinking about catching each other's shots directly. This is a very rare situation, and what is even more surprising is that so far, the two of them have succeeded in their attempts.

The tennis ball flew towards Panci with all the momentum, and it seemed that Anderson had vented all the humiliation he had suffered on this return ball. Look at the flight path of this ball, it will fall properly in bounds. It can be said that once the tennis ball lands, Pansiqi will face a very unfavorable situation.

In Anderson's opinion, the probability of earning this point is as high as 80 percent. He had even thought about the celebration after the score, and he must take a good look at this evil breath in his heart.

Who knew that Pansich, who had already brought countless surprises to everyone before, surprised everyone again this time. In the face of Anderson's ferocious return, he did not choose to resist head-on, but squatted on the ground, placed the racket very close to the ground, and bounced off the tennis ball in a straight line.

I have to say that Pansiqi's choice is really incredible, but the effect is surprisingly good. Catching the ball in a rebound way can not only effectively dissolve the huge force exerted by the opponent on the tennis ball, but also return the ball in the shortest time to make up for the shortcomings of your lack of preparation for the batting action.

However, the only thing to note is that the rebound ball has very high requirements for the player's feel, and once the player's hand is not in place, it is easy to return the high ball, so that the opponent will be directly shot to death in the next shot.

This time, Pansic showed the audience his almost bewitching touch. Without seeing any movement in his hands, the tennis ball was obediently bounced into the straight line Panci wanted. And the strength is also very good, the tennis ball is located about half a meter away from the baseline.

There's a reason why Pansiqi chose this route. With the ball to serve, Anderson is now positioned in the front of the right half. Pancic's bounce ball was a weakness on Anderson's left. As a result, Anderson will face the most difficult side return ball on the tennis court.

In this point, Pansiqi fully demonstrated what it means to overcome rigidity with softness. In the face of Anderson's extremely fierce return ball, Pansiqi was just a light one, which not only perfectly resolved the crisis, but also put Anderson in an extremely embarrassing situation.

At this point, Anderson, who didn't want to give up, could only turn around and chase after his left rear. However, this kind of diagonal movement was too difficult for him, and although he tried his best, he still did not save the ball in the first place.

Anderson, who was standing in place and bending over and panting, did not expect Pancich to deal with his return attack in such a strange way. He's a bit of a mess now, and so far in this game, he has a feeling of being tied hand and foot at every turn. After more than 10 years of dominating the tennis world, he even felt that he had become less likely to play.

Anderson, who suffered a big loss, obediently stood behind the baseline when receiving the serve in the next point, and did not dare to easily try to receive the serve and attack. He has now changed his mind, just trying to get Pancic's serve back first, dragging the match into a multi-shot stalemate.

Sure enough, with a careful extension, Anderson finally brought Pansic's serve back to the opposite sideline. At this point, Anderson chose to suppress Pancic's middle, and in this case, Pancich did not get too good an attacking opportunity.

However, Pansiqi was not in a hurry, since the other party wanted to hold each other, he was willing to accompany him. He didn't push too hard, and he also safely overshot and returned the ball to the middle of Anderson's baseline.

This hit Anderson's arms, and I saw his tall body flash to the right with great agility, forcibly flashing a forehand position, and then a violent slap of the forehand directly attacked the bottom corner of Pansiczy's diagonal line.

This forehand raid is much more concealed than Anderson's obvious intention to return the serve, and when everyone thought that Anderson was actively seeking to hold on to multiple shots, he suddenly came to such a surprise, which greatly surprised everyone.

This forehand Anderson can be said to be really powerful, and the angle is also very tricky, basically going to the bottom line. In the face of his attack, there is a good chance that the player will directly raise his hand and surrender, and there is no need to even chase it.

However, Pan Xiqi is not an ordinary person, with a strange foot movement, he came to the bottom corner like a butterfly, and the moment the tennis ball landed, it was forced to fall into place. This long-distance baseline move can be said to be the first time that Pansiqi has shown his outstanding mobility ability to the audience in this game, which made the audience can't help but exclaim.

"Good extension, good prediction, good serve, good feel, good movement! Oh my God, how can such a player be just a qualifier? One veteran fan even summed up Pansiqi's performance so far as a "five-good youth".

"Damn, he was really saved!" Seeing Pansiqi far outperform his ability to move, Anderson felt a deep sense of frustration for the first time. Because he knew that from this point of view alone, there was a big gap between himself and Pansic.

However, as the No. 28 seed, he still has his own pride. The forehand just now and Pansiqi's save were all expected by him. Now that Pancich has been moved off the touchline, Anderson is left with an empty field. He took up the middle of the baseline early on, and whether Pancich returned straight or diagonal this time, he had plenty of time to save the ball and hit it over the gap on the opposite court.

"Come on, come on, let me see if you'll choose a straight line or a diagonal line." A bloodthirsty smile appeared at the corner of Anderson's mouth.

Panci hurried to the tennis ball and needed to return the ball as soon as possible. Such a short shot time didn't seem to bother him too much, and with his eyes glued to the tennis, Panci didn't hesitate to hit a small forehand slash lift.

Pansiqi didn't use much force or spin on this return, and all the essence was reflected in the line of the return. Pansiqi's return angle was so small that the tennis ball was almost attached to the net for half of the court before landing on the right sideline of the tee box in a trajectory almost parallel to the net. The whole line felt as if Panci was standing in front of the court and completing a sideways volley in front of the net.

Anderson, who was still far from the bottom line, was dumbfounded, he never dreamed that Pansic would choose such a route. In this line, the player's control of the ball is almost to the extreme, and if there is a slight deviation, it will either go to the net or go out of bounds. However, judging by the results now, Pansiqi succeeded.

Shaking his head helplessly, Anderson could only accept his fate. He looked at Pansiqi and slapped his racket with his hand, as if applauding, expressing his approval for Pansiqi's wonderful return.
