Chapter 291: Backwardness
It can be said that in the high-profile US Open mixed doubles final, the Hingis took the initiative at the beginning, which of course benefited from their highly targeted tactics. Pan Xiqi never imagined that the special doubles tactics he had carefully designed would one day be found by his opponent and attacked.
Losing the first game, Wang Yan looked a little frustrated. Because she hadn't experienced such a setback in the previous rounds. After all, with Pan Xiqi, a big killer, being involved in the bottom line, her task in front of the net has become very simple. Where will it be like this game, Pansiqi is almost hollowed, and can only face off head-on with the other two by himself.
Although depressed, Wang Yan did not lose confidence at this time. Because in the next game, Pansiqi's serve will be ushered in soon. The combination of Pan Xiqi serving and Wang Yan squatting in front of the net can be regarded as the most powerful of all their tactics, and it is often the easiest time for Wang to score in front of the net. Therefore, Wang Yan is still very sure of winning this game.
Sure enough, Pansizi's serve power was on full display in this game. Although the average speed of a serve is around 200 kilometers, it is not a serve cannon in the pure sense, but with the subtle angles and varied spins, Pancic's serve is no less threatening than the top service players.
Murray was better, albeit reluctantly, but he was able to catch the ball. However, his low-quality return is simply a point for Wang Chang who is guarding in front of the net. Without much effort, Wang Yan only needs a light cut to pocket the score.
But when it was Hingis's turn, he wasn't so lucky. With her current individual singles ability, catching Pancic's serve has become an almost impossible task. Through a high-quality and high-success service, Panci won four points in a row in this service game and successfully held serve, chasing the score of the first set to a 1-1 level.
After being won by their opponents so easily, Hingis and Murray did not have much disappointment on their faces. However, at this time, Pan Xiqi's face did not relax a little because of his own hairkeeping, because he knew in his heart that the real target of the other party was probably Wang Yan's next service game.
Pansiqi is still very confident in his ability to serve. He can guarantee that as long as it is his turn to serve, then his opponent will not want to complete the break. But for Wang Yan's serve, he didn't dare to guarantee it. After all, Wang Yan's serve is only at an average level among female players, which is not very outstanding. For Hingis and Murray, it certainly wasn't too difficult to pick up.
In previous matches, there were also players who wanted to make a fuss in Wang Yan's service game. However, the Pan Xiqi combination, who insisted on their own style of play, resolutely chose to go to the net and handed over the bottom line to Pan Xiqi after Wang Chang's serve, regardless of the quality of the opponent's serve, so Wang Chang's serving ability was not particularly important.
But now Hingis and Murray obviously want Wang Yan to take the initiative to go online, because then it will return to the favorable situation where the two of them attacked Wang Yan in front of the net, so that Pansic can only be left aside to watch the other three perform in front of the net. For the Pansiqi group, this is a scene they don't want to see.
I have to say that Jiang is still old and spicy, compared to the stupid tactics of the Panxiqi combination in the previous rounds of opponents who knew that they couldn't beat but still chose to fight the bottom line with Panxiqi, the Hingis combination relied on its strong confidence in its own skills in front of the net, decisively gave up the bottom line and fought with Wang Yan in front of the net, and immediately choked the pain point of the Pansiqi combination. According to Pan Xiqi's estimate, if they don't make changes in time, then it will not be so easy to hold serve smoothly when it comes to Wang's serve.
Sure enough, the Hingis combination, who successfully won their second service game again through the double-net tactic, finally showed their claws in Wang Chang's service game and began the first extremely aggressive break attempt of the match.
After Wang Chang served, she still rushed directly to the net as usual. And Pan Xiqi continued to guard the bottom line and escort Wang Yan. At this time, Murray had already completed the extension, only to see his light block actually cut out a small ball near the net. After completing the hair extension, he went directly to the net without the slightest pause.
Looking at Hingis at this time, when Wang Chang had just finished serving, she had already made a net move. Therefore, when Wang Chang came to the net to deal with Murray's return serve, opposite her, Hingis and Murray actually formed a double net position at the first time.
Seeing this situation, Pan Xiqi, who secretly said in his heart that it was really like this, could only sigh and raise his feet and rush to the front. Because he knows that in the next shot, the opponent will definitely put the ball in the front court on his side, forcing him to go to the net, thus breaking his baseline advantage. Although he knew that it was the opponent's trap, Pan Xiqi could only bite the bullet. Because if he insists on staying at the bottom line, Wang Yan is likely to be directly stolen by the opponent because he can't cover such a large range in front of the net.
Seeing that Pansic was drawn to the net again as he had planned, Hingis and Murray were overjoyed and began to concentrate their firepower on the side of the princess. There is no suspense, Wang Yan, who is a little inferior in kung fu at hand, and she is in a relatively impatient mood at this time, so she naturally can't withstand the opponent's repeated attacks, and she missed in front of the net again.
0:15, 0:30, 0:40, twice returned the ball to the net, once was directly crossed by the opponent, and the Pan Xiqi combination, which lost three points in a row in the hands of Wang Chang, was given three consecutive break points by the opponent. What made Pan Xiqi and Wang Chang even more depressed was that among the three points, Pan Xiqi didn't touch the ball once. It can be said that Pancich seemed to be a spectator in this game, and the scene completely turned into a one-sided situation between Hingis and Murray.
lost three points in a row, which put Wang Yan under huge psychological pressure. At this time, facing the breaking point, her hands began to tremble slightly. Because she knows that if she can't keep this game, she may not be able to keep her next service game. As a result, the possibility of them winning this mixed doubles final is getting smaller and smaller.
At this time, Pan Xiqi was also very anxious. But unlike Wang Yan's nervousness and helplessness, he put more of his mind on cracking the opponent's tactics. His "Pan's Position" style of play was completely restrained by his opponent's double-net tactics, which he had never encountered before. Although he was in an unfavorable situation, he always felt faintly in his heart that there was some kind of loophole in the other party's position, but for a while, he didn't find it.
Just when Pansiqi was anxiously looking for a way to solve it, Wang Yan unexpectedly sent two out-of-bounds balls in a row because of excessive nervousness, giving the opponent a point with a double fault, thus losing her own service game. In the first set, Hingis took a 3-1 lead. Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find?
