Chapter 418: Pursuit of Victory
Fan Ju's interception in front of the net is like a sharp knife that goes straight to the heart, and the knife can hit the opponent's vital point.
Federer is very distressed now, because he finds that Fan Ju's initiative to counterattack is stronger than usual, and in the past, Fan Ju would be tentative, and would constantly try to break through from a certain point.
But today I had to give myself some color at the beginning, which was not pleasant at all.
"I'm not going to give you a chance to relax, enjoy today's game, friend!" Fan Ju stopped the ball and looked at his opponent in front of him, and he knew Federer would understand what he meant.
This is no ordinary game, the peak game is about showing the appearance of the peak, and Fan Ju knows very well that Federer will not let himself win the final fruit easily.
Since this bitter battle is inevitable, it is up to him to provoke it.
After 4 rounds, Federer looked a little tired, and at this time, Fan Ju was in good shape, and the full rest gave him enough potential to deal with the tough game.
Federer, on the other hand, was already stuck in physical problems after the US Open, but he was forced to play two more big tournaments, and his points increased, but he still did not get rid of the entanglement of Fan Ju, and in the end he still had to decide the winner on the court.
He wants to conserve more energy and deal with Fanju's fast attack, knowing that you don't know when your opponent is going to launch a series of attacks in the ring.
If you can't maintain your physical condition steadily, a last-minute collapse is not out of the question.
Seeing that after the ball bounced up and was blocked by Federer, Fan Ju pouted, how could he not see that Federer was moving less. Save more physical energy, but the overall situation is controlled zhì on. He is indeed a step short of Federer.
The constant low speed has helped him to increase his attack, but it has struggled to bring his skills any closer. Well, the technology developed by the comprehensive online play method based on its own technology has already been improved in response to this situation.
You don't have to confront the opponent's crossing fast attack head-on, pay attention to taking the initiative to play on the bottom line or wait for the opportunity to go to the net, and in front of the net, it is a fatal blow without leaving a gap.
The initiative does not mean that he has the advantage, even if he always seems to be overpowering Federer in the situation, but he has made a lot of mistakes.
Most of these mistakes came from Federer's high-quality defensive counter-attack, and the timing and landing point were accurate to catch the gap between Fan Ju. Even if he had the heart to fight back, he couldn't find the right time to swing the racket, and when he missed it, he made a mistake, so that the score always remained in a draw.
"No, he hasn't started to break out yet, and it's not good for me to go down in a draw." Federer is probably in a more anxious hurry than anyone else.
The experience of fighting many times makes him know better than anyone that he must take the initiative to break, otherwise he will get closer to the end of the set. The more pressure Fan Ju puts on himself.
In contrast, what Fan Ju is playing now is just a fast attack that is one rhythm higher than the normal level, intending to disrupt the rhythm, and the impact is only superficially weak.
"The offensive has intensified? It seems that he did have some influence on him. "The conversation between the players is much simpler than the audience thinks. Every shot has content, and every ball gain or loss represents some meaning.
Federer's fluctuating mentality was detected by Fan Ju. And Fan Ju did not relent, and returned the ball more resolutely. The power of the shot is also heavier, and the strength of the lower back continues to increase the strength of the shoulders and arms when the strength is exhausted.
Show to his opponents. I will never back down, and I will do my best to stop your attack.
The situation on the court has been made even more difficult to judge by the unwanted match, and both amateur fans and professional tennis commentators can now only watch and use their eyes to record the match and record the moment in history.
"It's time to get started!" 4:4, the corners of Fan Ju's mouth curled slightly, Federer's strong attack did not disrupt his strategy, the score was enough by this time, and after the last outburst, Fan Ju was confident that he would take a step forward.
Federer was slightly disappointed, but he did not despair, Fan Ju was indeed stronger than before, otherwise he would not have forced him to deliberately lose the match and come to intercept it himself.
However, he also saw the problem of Fan Ju's persistence, in terms of balance, the faster Fan Ju used the rhythm, the more the opponent's rampage time would be weakened.
He is perhaps the first player in the entire tennis world to have a clear awareness of this, and in the five-set final, Fan Ju never played such a high tempo, and the same violent attack put a lot less pressure on him.
Federer knew he had made a mistake and it was too late for him to understand it, as he could still beat in a five-set format, but in a three-set format, it definitely gave his opponent another half a level of overall strength.
"Hardground, no! It's time, the shorter the game, the longer his high tempo can be maintained, plus the rampage, no matter where he is, he can perform well. "Federer's tennis instincts are extraordinary, he found the answer, but he didn't find a way to crack it.
A break was done in an instant, and a few serve shots cost Federer a game of his own.
Fan Ju's world-class hair extension technique is vividly reflected in the rampage, and no one in such a state can take a service game from him, even if the service game should be his own advantage.
After the break happens, the next step is to see if Federer can complete the break to equalize, of course, this is difficult, and since the price has already been spent, it is impossible for the opponent to succeed.
Even if it's on a hard-court court where your opponent has the upper hand, don't forget that Fan Ju's faster-paced serve to the net is definitely a must-kill move to win the game.
"The first set, it's mine!" After another serve, Fan Ju quickly went to the net, and hit a shot with a backhand tilt that was completely opposite to the angle of the center of gravity.
Federer was deceived into stumbling on the baseline, but after all, he was deceived, did not pounce in the right direction, and lost the opportunity to save the ball.
"Damn, he's getting harder to capture in front of the net." Losing the first set, Federer shook his head regretfully, even though he had a premonition of this ending, but he couldn't help but feel sorry.
It is true that Fan Ju will be in a short period of "low tide" after the rampage, but it is different from ordinary low tide, when the physical strength is sufficient, this low tide will pass very quickly.
Fan Ju adjusted his state with two goals conceded, and then scored three points in a row to overtake the score, although Federer grabbed a draw, but Fan Ju, who was back in form, played harder.
In the past volleys in front of the net, Fan Ju was more straightforward, basically judging the direction and movement of the opponent first, and then using high reaction speed to strike later.
But now when Fan Ju has more experience and maturity in front of the net, some small skills like Santoro have gradually appeared in the attack in front of the net, making the opponent more unguardable.
In the words of his opponent, it was like having a spring dream in a nightmare, and he was obviously very sure for a moment, but when he realized it, he realized that his dream had long since come to naught.
That's how Federer felt at this time, and he also understood how threatening it was to get Fan Ju to the net.
Federer himself is a master in front of the net, and his all-round play style gives him excellent ability to deal with the net, but this also makes him find that in fact, Fanju's so-called all-round net play is not much different from his own play.
It's just that he scores more on the bottom line, but Fan Ju is more powerful in front of the net.
The baseline is equally outstanding, and it is precisely because he has strong enough baseline skills that he has the strength to launch net attacks on the opponent's serve.
At present, there are few players in the tennis world who can withstand the attack of Fan Ju at a high tempo, and a few top players still have the ability to do so.
Federer is one of them, and his steady control in the service game can always hold down Fan Ju's return to the net, but it is only an ordinary state.
"The consumption of the body is acceptable, there is only three-fifths of the speed left, if the second set continues to maintain the rhythm, I am afraid that there will only be less than one-fifth left at the end of the set, and it will be too dangerous if you can't take it."
Fan Ju didn't dare to underestimate Federer at all, and his deflated performance in several finals also made him realize how difficult it was to continue to suppress him.
Even if there are multiples that can help stabilize the body, the human body is not a precise machine, and once there is a problem, it will face the worst situation.
Fan Ju is not a small bold, he has used gambling tactics many times in the past, and today he is not going to resign himself to fate, he has his own plan for the second set.
“…… The pace is slow, is it intended to consume my body? Federer's physical problems are well known, and although the previous matches have been won by two sets, they can't hide this fact.
Relatively speaking, Fan Ju has more stamina after a full rest, and slowing down the pace will not delay Fan Ju's hair extensions and netting, and the three-set match gives him plenty of room to adjust, leaving room for his third set.
The question of whether it is 2:2:1 or 2:1:2 has plagued Fan Ju for a long time, the former can leave more room for the second set and can break out continuously at key moments, while the latter is more tactical, although there is one more set, but it can allow the opponent to withstand his own strong counterattack under the premise that the body is at its weakest.
For Federer, Fan Ju chose the latter more wisely, for no other reason, simply because Federer was inferior to himself in this game, and did not seize this advantage to seek tactical changes, and fought to the death, Fan Ju wisely chose the method that could help him win the game.
The top players, not to mention the important competition for the top position, where you can't be impulsive, Fan Ju and Federer are calm and know that such a change will mean something will happen in this game. (To be continued......)
