Chapter 68: You Can Think of It, I Can Think of It Too

Federer felt a little ridiculous, and the continuous strong backhand and then suddenly switched to the forehand was the one tactic Federer has used the most in recent years, and it is also the first tactic with the highest scoring success rate, and now Zhang Guan is using the same tactic against himself.

Federer knows how difficult it is to master this trick of his own. First of all, the forehand technique needs to be passed, the forehand technique is not good, the ball spins not well enough or the landing point is not good enough, and it will definitely not be able to suppress the opponent's backhand; Secondly, it is necessary to choose a good time to switch to the forehand, the timing of the forehand is not good, if the opponent is prepared, it will not have the effect of the surprise attack, but may give the opponent points.

In the next ball, Zhang Guan still used the same style of play, forcing Federer's backhand after serving, and after a few more shots, Zhang Guan raided Federer's forehand position, and then scored another point through a volley. The score became 0-30 and Federer trailed by two goals.

Federer's expression still looked very relaxed, because this was his trick, so of course he knew how to crack it.

"This kind of strong pressure backhand, even if you press hard, you can't win the ball, the key is to switch to the forehand, that's when you really play the lethality. When the forehand is suddenly turned to attack, most people will be caught off guard, and there will definitely be flaws in the return ball, so you only need to be able to grasp the opportunity to specialize in the forehand, so that you can shoot back with a forehand more calmly, and it will naturally become a holding ball. Federer thought as he began to pay attention to Zhang's movements, hoping to get familiar with Zhang's rhythm as soon as possible to deal with Zhang's strong backhand to forehand.

"Zhang Guan's rhythm feels so familiar, and it's really a bit like my rhythm." Federer didn't care too much about this, and now eight out of ten tennis players around the world are learning or imitating Federer, and many professional players are also learning Federer's rhythm. Federer has long been accustomed to this

On the next beat, Zhang Guan suddenly changed the line and reversed the forehand.

"It's time to hit the forehand!" Federer started at the same time, but this time the result was the same as the previous two times, and Federer still failed to make a good return.

Federer looked up at the 40-0 scoreline, but there was a look of confidence on his face.

"Zhang Guan's sense of rhythm is similar to mine, maybe the next goal. I wouldn't be so passive. ”

Zhang Guan's serve again continued to force Federer's backhand, and Federer's return did not make major adjustments, but Federer has been sensing the rhythm of Zhang Guan's swing.

Two beats, three beats, and when Federer returned to the fourth, his body moved two small steps in the direction of his forehand.

"Is it going to be a forehand on this beat? At this pace, the possibilities are high! "Federer is ready to run to the forehand to receive the ball.

However, on the next shot, Zhang Guan still attacked Federer's backhand again.

"If it's not this shot, then the next shot is more likely to turn to a forehand!" After Federer returns the ball. He took two steps in the direction of his forehand again, and these two steps were bigger than before.

"Whoosh!" The tennis ball flew to Federer's forehand, just as Federer expected.

Federer briskly ran to his forehand, and this time, he landed a quality forehand response.

Federer predicted that Zhang Guan would switch to a forehand in this ball, and he was mentally prepared, and he had two small steps in advance, which was a master's move. Sometimes a small step can make or break a game, so this time. Federer can hit a quality return.

Zhang Guan was ready to go to the net, but when he saw this ball, he immediately retreated to the bottom line, and Zhang Guan had already judged that Federer's return was of good quality, if he went to the net blindly. It's easy to show flaws.

"Did Federer predict that I would specialize in the forehand in this ball? He had just moved two steps towards the forehand position, in case I suddenly focused on the forehand. As Federer deserves, the judgment is really accurate. Zhang Guan didn't realize at this time that Federer was familiar with his rhythm.

Federer countered with a high-quality forehand to reverse the original passive situation, and even vaguely grasped the initiative. And for Federer, who is in good form, as long as he gets the initiative, the next advantage will only grow.

At 40-15, Federer pulled a goal back.

"Beautiful, it was a beautiful shot, Federer turned the tide with a beautiful forehand return when he had been pressed with a backhand! Only such a ball is in line with Federer's status as the world's No. 1. The narrator spoke.

Zhang Guan continued his serve, still suppressing Federer's backhand continuously, and when Zhang Guan focused on the forehand, Federer once again predicted in advance, and the forehand counterattack once again grabbed the initiative.

"Federer is probably familiar with my rhythm. Otherwise, it would be impossible to judge so accurately based on blind guessing. But I'm not familiar with your rhythm! Zhang Guan's forehand went straight to the baseline, and he also guessed that Federer would press his backhand nine times out of ten.

Zhang's judgment was also accurate, and Federer was indeed prepared to press back against Zhang's backhand. Zhang Guan quickly moved to the midfield position.

Another midfield interception!.

The ball smashed directly near the sideline, Federer wanted to catch the ball, but stopped halfway, this ball Federer can catch, but even if he receives this ball, it will give Zhang Guan a chance to volley in front of the net, Federer will still lose points, so Federer simply gave up this goal.

"Congratulations to Zhang Guan for successfully saving his serve, the interception in the midfield just now is very beautiful, and now the score between the two sides is 3-1, Zhang Guan is temporarily ahead."

Zhang Guan had a relieved smile on his face, while Federer on the other side didn't seem so happy.

"For the ball just now, Zhang Guan should have prejudged that I would force the backhand, so he didn't catch the ball at the bottom line, but chose to intercept it in the midfield, which made me lose the opportunity to continuously press the backhand." Federer looked at Zhang Guan on the other side and thought: "Zhang Guan was able to see through my attacking intentions, which is really a bit unexpected to me, it seems that Zhang Guan has also done his homework before the game, and he has been studying my style of play." However, my understanding of Zhang Guan is still very limited, which is also my biggest disadvantage at present. ”

Federer lifted his racket, came to the court, and started his own service game.

In Federer's last service game, he mainly relied on a strong backhand and then focused on the forehand to score, an effective tactic that he could not use once, so Federer continued to choose to force Zhang Guan's backhand after serving.

Zhang Guan has also gradually become familiar with Federer's rhythm, and after two beats, he moved two small steps in the direction of his forehand, and then when Federer attacked his forehand, he rushed to the forehand position.

Zhang Guan moved faster than Federer, and when the ball landed, he was ready to catch the ball, and then calmly returned the ball with a forehand.

"It's a pretty fast learner." Federer swung his forehand and moved Zhang Guan to the other side of the court.

Not to be outdone, Zhang Guan ran aggressively, and also chose a position closer to the edge of the ball, and he was also mobilizing Federer.

The two sides played a long shot of fifteen rounds, and in the end Federer used a very aggressive volley, forcing Zhang Guan to make a mistake when receiving the ball, and won the ball.

"It seems to be getting harder and harder to score, but there should be no problem in holding serve in this game." Federer wiped the sweat from his head, took a few long breaths, and continued to serve.

"Will Federer continue to press the backhand?" Zhang Guan's eyes widened, and he concentrated on preparing to catch the ball.

The tennis ball flew in, and the target was still Zhang Guan's backhand.

"It's still going to be a backhand." At the same time as Zhang Guan returned the ball, he found that Federer was starting to move forward.

"It's a tee to the net!" Zhang Guan already had a premonition that he was going to concede the ball.

In this ball, Federer actually chose to serve to the net.

Federer's style of play is still biased towards the baseline play, so he suddenly used the serve to the net, which caught Zhang Guan a little off guard, and Federer successfully won this point.

In the third, Federer sent an ace to make it 40-0.

On the fourth ball, the two sides played a long shot of more than ten rounds.

"Whoosh!" The tennis ball flew in, and while Federer stared at the direction of the tennis ball, his eyes swept to Zhang Guan's position.

"This ball, hit the left!" Federer made an instant judgment and hit the tennis ball to the left side of the court with a precise forehand, and Zhang Guan on the opposite side had already moved in one direction.

"I seem to be standing too far back right now." Federer moved towards the middle and then thought: "If I were to catch the ball, I would definitely use a chipping ball to the right side of the frontcourt, although it is a bit difficult and the risk is quite high, but if you succeed, you may have a chance to get a high ball...... Hey? ”

On the opposite side, Zhang Guan made a move, he used his forehand to chop the ball, and directly hoisted the ball to the right side of the front court.

"Zhang Guan's thoughts are the same as mine?" Federer moved forward in a few strides, and he was about to use his backhand, but suddenly remembered that it might give Zhang Guan the opportunity to overhead the ball.

"You can't backhand, let's hit the backcourt!" Federer switched to a forehand catch, and instead of his signature topspin, he hit a flat shot that went straight to the backcourt.

However, what Federer didn't expect was that Zhang Guan had already moved quickly to the backcourt, and then played a diagonal to win the goal directly.

"Zhang Guan actually guessed my thoughts!" Federer was a little annoyed, even more frustrated.

And Zhang Guan, who was on the other side, breathed a sigh of relief.

"As I expected, the experience book I studied from Federer, and the understanding and judgment of the ball are basically the same as Federer's. The same ball, Federer can think of, I can think of too! ”
