Chapter 382: Changes in the Rain

Roddick didn't know that Fan Ju had made a change, because Fan Ju's own offense was mixed with a lot of spin techniques, whether it was topspin or side spin, which made the return line difficult to figure out and give full play to the strengths of Fan Ju's spin master.

However, his own style of play has not changed much, because his power is strong enough, so he relies more on faster flat shots to attack, even if he can also play topspin attacks, but on the grass Roddick prefers to press the bounce lower to avoid Fan Ju hitting a smooth return shot.

Roddick's serve in the opening game can be regarded as stable, there are always 3 goals in one shot out of five balls, which is not high, but it is enough to maintain the suppression of the situation, Roddick is a top master after all, with super forehand ability, Fan Ju wants to easily break through his attack, but it is not so simple.

After all, they are all the top players, but there will be different expressions at different times, for example, now, Fan Ju has changed his style of play, and Roddick doesn't know yet, which has a different result.

2:6, maybe this score doesn't mean anything, but it was broken by a big score at the beginning, and it really shouldn't appear in this pinnacle game.

But it did happen, Roddick's serve opened to collapse, of course, it was not so much a rush, but it was blown crooked by the wind, and the good serve that maintained two games did not last long, and the gusts of wind suddenly changed direction and became stronger, even Roddick could not avoid this bad situation.

Fan Ju also increased the number of misses, but the difference is that Fan Ju has reduced the threat of one serve, which does not mean that he has lost his offensive threat.

But Roddick is different, losing his serve and losing his killer feature, which is not easy news.

"Is it raining?" A little rain fell on Fan Ju's face. Fan Ju had this hunch when the wind strengthened, but fortunately the rain had been brewing in the sky long enough. It was enough for him to take this set solidly before it fell.

The audience began to put on raincoats, and Fan Ju and Roddick moved more carefully. Although the rain has not yet completely fallen, the game needs to continue before the referee has announced the suspension of the game.

A little rain made the field more slippery, this is not a red clay or plastic hard court, there is no friction on the grass field, even if it is an acceleration stop, it is very likely to make the players fall on their stomachs.

Fortunately, the rain didn't brew for long, and Fan Ju and Roddick struggled for less than two games. I saw the obvious rain falling in front of me.

"The game is suspended!" The referee has been waiting for this time for a long time, and after obviously feeling the raindrops, he decided to stop the game, and as for how long it will stop, it depends entirely on the arrangement of God and the organizing committee of the event, even if this final is delayed until tomorrow, or even later.

Before Fan Ju and Roddick had left the field with their bags, they saw a number of staff members holding tarps pouring out of the passage.

They don't have as much trouble as a player suspension, and they need to keep the venue as unaffected by rain as possible. After the rain stops, it is necessary to clean it again with a water pusher to ensure that the field remains as normal as possible without affecting the players' competition.

"Hopefully it won't be too long." Fan Ju knew before the start of the bout that the weather could change this afternoon, and the players should not just focus on their opponents. At the same time, it is important to have an understanding of the emergency situations you are going to face.

Of course, Fan Ju was not able to have much time to rest, and soon the staff of the organizing committee told Fan Ju that the rain was expected to stop within one hour. This means that the game will start again in less than an hour and a half.

This time is not enough to doze off, and Fan Ju not only can't stop to rest. You also have to keep moving to keep your body muscles and bones relaxed and your body warm, so that the state can't fall off.

It's not the first time Wimbledon has been shut down because of the weather. Not to mention the Grand Slam, Fan Ju has stopped playing the Queen's Cup once before, the North Sea where the British Isles are located has plenty of air, plus it is summer, and rain is simply commonplace.

But even so, the stubborn British did not think of adding a roof to the grass, and I wonder if it was because they were afraid that the turf used once a year would die because it would not be exposed to the sun.

Of course, this is purely Fan Ju's own complaints, and the British also have plans to install a roof on their main arena, but who told someone to look past it, and let this democracy drag on and on.

In 01, Henman was in the semifinals of Wimbledon, but because of the rain, this semifinal was played for three days, and this led to Henman being reversed by the opponent, which became a pain in the hearts of the British.

But the problem is that the pain may not be a lesson, anyway, for the sake of the roof of the over, the game in the United States for the sake of economic interests to put important events in the evening, while Wimbledon still has to respect the tradition and adhere to the concept of "daytime play".

If the British really have a low-carbon and environmentally friendly heart, it would be okay, but it is only because of tradition and stubbornness that they have influenced their change, perhaps the only thing to be thankful for is that because of their stubbornness, fans can still see the Wimbledon grass court Grand Slam, a grand event, to enrich the tennis world.

The break is the best opportunity for the laggards to reflect on their mistakes, and Fan Ju may have met Raschet just to learn about the weather, but for Roddick, it was an opportunity to change the disadvantage.

"Andy, you've given Fan Ju too many chances to serve, don't forget what we said before the game." Roddick's coach reiterated that he knew Roddick might forget about these things once he got into the game.

He hopes that his disciple can calm down with the rain, enter the scheduled pace again, play this game well, and win this Grand Slam.

Federer won the Australian Open, Fan Ju won the French Open, and if Roddick can't win one of Wimbledon and the US Open, he will probably fall out of the first order this year.

This is not a joke, last year's Roddick was indeed strong, but everyone knows that the strength of the US Open series is unlikely to be repeated, and of course it cannot be said that Roddick has become weaker, it can only be said that Fan Ju and Federer are too strong.

Federer needless to say, with his strong posture this year, losing a Wimbledon title will not have much impact, and although the hard court will cause him some problems, it will be very difficult for this opponent to win the title.

However, for Roddick, losing the opportunity at Wimbledon means that he is very likely to lose the best chance to win the Grand Slam, and when the ranking changes this time, it means that his best seed in the big tournament is only No. 3.

A good day like this, waiting for his opponent in the final, will never happen again, and it is knowing this that Roddick will have a sense of urgency, and the poor performance in the first set will make him feel even more anxious.

"What should I do?" Roddick was already a little skeptical of his own idea, and it wasn't just because of his serve that he lost so completely, but also because of some of his attempts in the round.

Coach Roddick is now lacking ideas, of course, this lack is not for nothing, but there are too many ideas to mess up, but there is no real suitable way to deal with Fan Ju.

Perhaps no one in the world dares to say that there is really a way to suppress Fan Ju 100%, but it can only be said that trying to contain this overlord in front of the net tactically and allowing him to stay on the bottom line for one more round is also a tactical success.

"Play your own ball, don't care how the other party responds, don't forget who you are, what your weapon is, I believe that even if you are strong, you will retreat when you see your serve, as long as you hold a serve, the victory of this game will definitely be yours."

A few encouraging words made Roddick's eyes brighten slightly, he had his own pride and confidence, the weapon of serving was not given to him by God, but from his ten years of hard work.

The wind on the court did affect his first set, but it wasn't irreparable, and Roddick nodded, as if he knew what the coach meant.

The coach glanced at Roddick and continued to accompany Roddick to warm up and maintain his body temperature, in fact, he also knew that what he said just now did not have actual content, it was more of an encouragement, more like a psychological comfort.

It is true that Roddick has left some shadows on his psychology after losing to Fan Ju in the Queen's Cup, after all, consecutive losses, especially in the final, have not had a small impact on Roddick.

Wimbledon is the final, and Roddick is not only affected by the wind, but also the doubts in his heart, which also makes Roddick lose the confidence of some of the top powerhouses and waver in the game.

Of course, Roddick is still young, and the title of a Grand Slam has not yet fallen to him, and now he is lucky for many Grand Slam players, not only standing at the height of the world No. 1, but also winning the year-end No. 1 title, leaving the name Roddick in tennis history.

However, perhaps it is a certain number in the dark, Roddick's simple tactical style of play is destined to prevent him from dominating the tennis world with his serve in this era.

Without Fan Ju, Federer and other players would still stand in front of him, and Roddick would never have been able to return to the top of the point he had once reached.

But there is no denying that Roddick is a strong player with great technique and will be a player who has always been at the top of tennis in his career.

Fan Ju didn't dare to ignore his opponent, and when the sky cleared, the sun finally shone on the earth again, and the field became slippery and muggy, Fan Ju raised his vigilance against Roddick to another level.

"The serve is actually faster, this time it's troublesome......" others are in poor condition after resting, but Roddick seems to have played doping, looking at the opponent who is getting sharper and sharper, Fan Ju can't help but start to have a headache again. (To be continued......)
