Chapter 36: The Ticket Is Really Worth It!
The audience craned their necks and stared at the big screen.
On the big screen, the 3D image accurately shows that Zhang Guan's serve this time happened to be pressed on the line.
"Inside! It's in the realm again! Zhang Guan's challenge was successful! Zhang Guan's three consecutive challenges have been successful! It's incredible, three consecutive successful attempts, which is a rare occurrence, especially if it's still within one round. If you add in Haas's previous successful attempt, there are four challenges in this round, and all of them have been successful! The narrator's words were accompanied by the exclamatory cheers of the audience, constantly wandering around the Vodafone Stadium.
Haas shook his head a little helplessly, although he was beaten a love-game by Zhang Guan in the first game, which looked quite ugly, but after all, it was Zhang Guan's service game, and it was normal to not get a break.
On the other hand, the line referee's face is not so good-looking. On the tennis court, every challenge success of a player represents a misjudgment of the referee, four misjudgments in a game are indeed a very embarrassing thing, and this game is not the kind of back and forth tug-of-war, Zhang Guan got Haas with four serves, a total of four balls of the game, there were four misjudgments, this reason is enough for anyone to question the professionalism of the line referee.
However, no one sympathized with the line referee, misjudgment is part of the game, as long as it is a person, mistakes can occur, and the referee is no different. However, tennis matches now have an Eagle-Eye system, which allows players to dispute the referee's decision and get a fair result. In other competitions, even if there are no technical problems, they still use traditional refereeing methods and refuse to make changes.
After a short break, the second game between the two sides began.
Haas tapped the ball a few times while looking at Zhang's position.
"I remember in the video of the match between Zhang Guan and Nalbandian, he had to find an opportunity to go to the net when he connected the ball. Don't give him a chance to play in front of the net! ”
Haas thought as he also made a flat shot.
Haas's flat hitting speed is a little worse than Zhang Guan's, but the gap is not very large, after all, Haas is also a player ranked high in the world, and his own strength is still there.
However, Zhang Guan's movement speed is faster than Haas, which is more advantageous in defense, such as this ball, although the quality of Haas's serve is very good, Zhang Guan still caught this ball, but the landing point of the return is not very good. This also allows Haas to return the ball more comfortably.
Haas may have some scruples about Zhang Guan's play style in front of the net, so he chose to catch the ball with his forehand on the baseline and increase the spin of the ball, although Haas's forehand return is not as powerful as Federer's forehand spin, and far less perverted than Nadal's turn, but the power is still not to be underestimated. At least players who play in front of the net suffer a lot in the face of this kind of spin.
However, Zhang Guan did not choose to go to the net, he still stood on the bottom line to return the ball.
"Don't have internet access? Baseline return? Then don't blame me for mobilizing you. Haas hit a slash straight away.
In the front of the net, the receiver can change from passive to active, while in the baseline play, it is much more difficult for the receiver to change from passive to active, and the baseline play wants to play well. Defensive ability is a must, especially for receivers, who will be mobilized back and forth by the server if they use the baseline play, and if the defense is not good. It didn't take a few beats to collapse.
In recent years, those players who can reach the top of the ATP rankings have all had extremely high defensive standards, Federer's all-round players are naturally not weak in defense, and Nadal is originally a defensive style of play. Later, Djokovic's powerful double counter-attack made his defense even more rock-solid.
Haas is now moving Zhang Guan back and forth, and his range of movement is much smaller, which is the most common situation in the baseline play.
However, Zhang Guan did not sit still. He spotted the moment and aimed at Haas's left touchline for a backhand.
"How can this ball make this kind of spin, it's too reluctant!" Haas immediately ran to the left, but stopped halfway through because Zhang's ball was out of bounds.
The "15-0" referee announced the score. And Haas didn't feel too happy, Haas felt that the choice of this ball was very problematic, and the average professional player would definitely choose to continue to hold on, rather than choose this forced offensive style of play, because he was already on the defensive, and there was no good opportunity to appear, and if he forced a counterattack, the success rate was too low.
"What is this? Was Zhang Guan's judgment wrong? Or is it deliberately tempting? Haas took a deep breath, then cleared the distractions from his mind and began to serve a second ball.
“ACE,30-0!” The referee shouted out the score, Haas's luck was very good, he played a very tricky angle, Zhang Guan tried it, and found that he couldn't catch it, so he didn't chase this ball again.
An ace ball made Haas feel like he had found his touch, and then he drew a scoop from the gourd, and another shot was sent out the same way as he had done last time!
“ACE!” At the same time as the referee announced, there was a round of applause at the scene, and the two aces in a row were obviously worth encouraging with applause.
"I'm going to challenge!" Zhang Guan's voice sounded at this time!
The applause at the scene instantly turned into a discussion of anticipation, because Zhang Guan was about to challenge Hawkeye again.
Zhang Guan chose the challenge! Let's take a look at the results of the challenge...... Zhang Guan's challenge was successful! Zhang Guan's judgment was very accurate, this ball was really out of bounds! The narrator shouted excitedly. At the same time, the referee ruled that the goal was re-served.
Haas shook his head slightly, but he still felt he had the advantage, just a re-serve, and he still had two serves.
"Whoosh!" Haas's serve looked lethal this time, and although Zhang Guan had already rushed in the direction where the ball was flying from, he still couldn't catch it.
“ACE!” The referee said this time, but looked at Zhang Guan, as if asking him if he wanted to challenge.
"Challenge!" Zhang Guan immediately gave his own answer.
The audience at the scene immediately stirred up ...... Haas ace twice and Zhang Guan chose to challenge twice, if Zhang Guan's two challenges can be successful, this is simply a perfect script.
On the big screen, the Hawkeye system gave the answer, the ball was still out of bounds, and the edge of the ball was only a little bit pressed on the line, and if it wasn't enlarged, it couldn't even be distinguished.
"What a difference! Zhang Guan's challenge was successful again, should I say that Zhang Guan's judgment is accurate, or should I say that his luck is against the sky! "The narrator can't find the narration anymore.
The crowd didn't care, however, and the cheers and applause from the audience proved that they enjoyed the reversal. Ace ball, challenge, challenge success, re-serve, ace ball again, challenge again, challenge success again, this kind of plot that can only appear in novels that pass the game, actually happened in reality.
A veteran fan whispered, "Today's ticket is worth it!" Watching Zhang Guan challenge Hawkeye is much more exciting than watching him play! (To be continued.) )
