Chapter 156: Turning Back

Just when Serra thought the sneak attack was successful, Pansiqi actually moved into place! Due to the short time, just the moment when Serra stared at the ball, Pansiqi moved from the bottom corner of the court to the other without even seeing how Pansiqi did all this.

However, Serra couldn't help but believe that Pansiqi was now indeed blocked in the flight path of the straight return. It stands to reason that with such a wide range of movements, even if Panci can save the ball, he will face the problem of an unstable center of gravity and unable to return to a stable shot. But from this return, it seems that Pancich did not have any imbalance in the center of gravity. A backhand slash is called fast and hard.

"Oh my God, I'm not mistaken, am I? How exactly did he do it? Defending in such a short period of time is not at all the movement ability that a player of his level should have! If Pancic's serve shocked Serra, then this defense just now made him doubt his life.

But now was not the time for him to clear those questions, because Pancic's diagonal backhand shot hit the other side of his gap. Because Serra was confident in the forehand sneak attack before, he felt that Panci would not be able to come back, so he did not make an active midfield return after hitting the ball. At this time, he regretted it and felt that he was too careless. I had no choice but to run to the other side.

However, the position in which Serra hit the ball was within the touchline, which was at least in the field, much shorter than the distance that Pancicic had been pulled out of the field and back. But even so, this defensive movement distance was very difficult for Serra.

For the first time since the opening, Serra completely unshaved and ran desperately to the left. He thought that this ball had to be saved before it hit the ground anyway, otherwise, he would become a joke if he couldn't sneak attack.

I have to say that the players who can be ranked in the top 100 still have very strong ability to save the ball across the bottom line. In addition, although Pansiqi's backhand is fast, it does not seem to deliberately pursue the limit landing point, and the ball lands some distance from the sideline. So before the ball was about to fly off the baseline, Serra ran into place.

However, this is just a run in place, and it does not mean that Serra can calmly return the ball. At this time, it was too late to pull the racket with both hands, and in desperation, Serra temporarily used the backhand to cut a board and return the ball dangerously.

This kind of slicing is one of the most common ways for professional players to save the ball in passive situations, which can not only make up for the lack of their feet, but also slow down the ball speed and buy more defensive time for their next shot. There are even cases such as cow natto, which change the spin of the slicing ball so that the opponent cannot get too good offensive opportunities, so as to bring the situation back to the balance of power.

But Serra is not the kind of top player after all, and he is very satisfied that he was able to get the ball in time and successfully return it. The matter of defending as attacking is really a bit beyond his ability.

And from the last few rounds, he came to a surprising conclusion. That is, the Chinese player he faced today is much stronger than his baseline movement ability. As for how much stronger, he doesn't know very well. But what he does know is that the gap between the two is definitely not a matter of one or two notches.

The reason why I say this is because of the same baseline wide range of shots, Pansiqi is much farther than him in terms of travel distance. However, judging from the hitting effect in place, he just barely returned the ball and did not stand in position at all; However, Pansiqi appeared to be extremely calm, and his shots were very stable when he was in place. This means that saving the ball from this distance is far from the limit of Pansizi's ability.

Thinking of this, Sierra couldn't help but shudder inside. I'm also one of the top 100 players, and my movement is pretty good. What is the concept of the ability to move a few notches higher than yourself? As far as the players I have played against are concerned, natto at the peak of my peak can reach this level. But if that's the case, doesn't that mean that the Chinese player has a level of movement that can be ranked among the top few in history?

Serra didn't dare to dwell on it anymore, for it wasn't what he could have predicted. If anyone told him before a fight that they would meet a competitor of this caliber in a challenger, he would think they were crazy.

Back on the field, Serra's chipping ball slowly came to the field on Pansizi's side, and it was basically not aggressive. It's just that with a good feel, Serra controls the landing point of the ball quite deeply, and it is not far from the bottom line.

For Pansiqi, this level of ball is not difficult to handle. It seemed that the fight was almost over, and he had a general understanding of the basic characteristics of the opponent, so Pansiqi decided to finish this point quickly.

Due to the intense running of the previous ball, Serra could not immediately turn around and return to the midfield after being in place, but stopped in place and waited for his body to recover before continuing to reflexively chase back. Although it is only a short moment, it can already pose a deadly threat to professional players.

Sierra also knew the situation he was in now, and Pansiqi had to hit the other side of the gap in the next shot. Now, he can only hope that his chipping will make Pancich uncomfortable, so as to delay his shot as much as possible.

Pansizzi saw Serra's return to his position out of the corner of his eye, and immediately guessed his heart. However, how could he let him get his wish, although there was a high probability that Serra's movement could not be saved by playing a gap on one side, his next choice was to let Serra have no chance to return the ball.

In the face of Serra's chipping ball, Pansiqi's body sank slightly, his right SLR was pulled behind him, and after the ball flew to the right height, he did not hesitate to send the racket out. However, contrary to Serra's prediction, the tennis ball did not fly towards the other side of the court after leaving the racket. Looking at the route of his flight, it turned out to be the same place where Serra had just paused to make adjustments.

"Damn, I actually hit a back ball!" At this time, Serra was running to the center of the field, and after seeing Pansiqi's shot, he shouted helplessly in his heart. If Pancich had returned the ball to his intended angle, there was still a slim chance that he might have saved it. But now that the ball is behind him, he can't save it anyway.

Predicting the result, Serra stopped her run and was not even in the mood to look back at the ball. The tennis ball also landed in the desired position of Panci without any suspense, and landed and flew off the bottom line without any interference.

And just like that, the multi-round confrontation began with Serra's forehand sneak attack and ended with Pancic's return ball.
