Chapter 283: Little Wisdom in Front of the Net
"You must keep an eye on him, you can't let him run after the game!" A group of people came to the arena with cameras in their hands, but they couldn't help it, and even if they wanted to interview, they couldn't stop the players from playing normally.
Otherwise, this will not only offend Fan Ju and IMG, but also make the entire French Tennis Association and the financiers behind the Paris Masters become their enemies.
However, it is easy to enter and difficult to leave, and there are only a few exits, even if the reporters are scattered, they still have enough combat effectiveness, coupled with the normal interview after the game, in their opinion, Fan Ju is definitely inevitable.
"We must make him understand what will happen if he offends us!" Mad dogs never need a reason to bite people, and this group of reporters has long since forgotten the truth of the facts.
They've used too many of these methods to get those athletes to succumb, a lot of negative news, a never-ending harassment, enough to affect their form decline, as soon as a player shows up, they take advantage of the victory and chase after it, as for whether it will ruin a good player, it's not for them to go back and think about it at all.
……
"I didn't expect to meet such a stabbing person in the first round! I also said that I was lucky to sign it, but I didn't expect to play such a hand. As soon as Fan Ju got started, he felt that the strength of the opponent seemed to be a little beyond his expectations.
Nigeria's Pavila, who has been ranked in the top 20 for three consecutive years, has been on a poor list this year due to injury, and as for why he was able to enter the main event, it is because he reached the round of 16 last year, so even if he is only ranked more than 190, he still does not need to pass through the qualifying tournament or use a wild card. Qualified for the main event.
The opponent's game situation Fan Ju also seemed that there was really no need to get attention, but when he arrived at the field, Fan Ju found that he was wrong. And again, it couldn't be more wrong.
Pavila's head speed is not fast, it seems that the ball will not be heavy, but the problem is that the opponent's strength is extremely large, 183 is tall but weighs 86 kilograms, although it may not be comparable to Fan Ju in terms of muscle mass, but the strength is definitely not bad.
You must understand that although Fan Ju's strength is not inferior to that of his opponent. But after all, tennis is not a face-to-face wrist wrench, and the transmission of power must first pass through the racket and then be transmitted to the ball. Finally, it flies over the entire court, and finally slows down through the ground before landing on the opponent's paddle.
Even if it is accelerated by gravity of the body, it is combined with the force of rotation. When the opponent receives the ball. It's still like hitting the shot put, but with the opponent's physique, he definitely has the ability to whip Fan Ju's shot put back, and the same power is not small.
The opponent played very steadily, which made Fan Ju misjudge for a moment, but when Pavira really opened the stance, Fan Ju found that the opponent was extremely rare. Clay attackers!
Attacking on clay requires extreme spin and power. Pavila's ability clearly fits these traits and he hasn't been able to play well in other tournaments due to injury, but by the end of the year, he has a bigger advantage over the rest of the game, and that is the amount of body he has accumulated since the loss.
A burst of fierce punches scared Fan Judu, this kind of strength competition, the slightest difference in the pool fell to the downwind.
"I've finally come back, and I seem to be getting more serious." This was no ordinary game, and Fan Ju was still very new to trying, and the sudden lower bounce after the ball hit the ground still made him a little uncomfortable.
It was a little bit of a disadvantage for him, not only for his shots, but also for Pavila's topspin attack, which made him uncomfortable, not over his waist, and only slightly above his knees.
I wanted to get used to it, but I didn't expect to be caught off guard by my opponent, and then Fan Ju thought that in this top arena, there is no weakness at all, and looking at their professional resumes, most players over the age of 25 have won more than one tour championship.
If you look at the results, Fan Ju belongs to the same level as them, there is no advantage of strength and weakness, there is only a love for tennis and the pursuit of victory.
"What is that Oriental guy doing on the other side?" After a year of hibernation, Pavela felt that he should make a difference at the Paris Masters.
From March to September, he spent half a year in treatment and recovery, so that he did not play a game in half a year, and after the rematch, the ranking fell to 100 places, which forced him to rely on arranging more low-level events and obtaining wild card invitations to get the opportunity to participate in the tour.
He noticed his opponent's abnormal movement, which made him very vigilant, and his first wave of attack was actually pressed back by his opponent, knowing that during his knee injury, he could only maintain the amount of movement by increasing the movement of his upper limbs.
Coupled with the resumption of two months of competition, it became clear that although his movement speed had slowed down, he had become more powerful in terms of power strikes.
But the other party actually resisted, which surprised Pavila, during the offseason, he temporarily stayed away from the tennis world, and he didn't know that in just a few months, such a special demon was born!
Passive receiving, Fan Ju's return has not yet exerted its power, the opponent's serve has actually been floating around 55% of the first serve, almost a goal is sent, and a ball is lost, which instead causes trouble for Fan Ju's serve, because even if he receives a second serve, it is difficult to play any threatening direct attack.
Receiving serves, it is not that the slower the opponent's ball speed, the better, on the contrary, the opponent's high-quality, high-speed serve is the real threat.
The faster the opponent serves, the more his balance will be disrupted, and the less time he will have to react after the final hit.
And those second serves, which are less than 160 kilometers, are really not threatening, and they can complete their positioning and reaction almost immediately after serving, and the opponent is ready when they return the ball.
Both players will be more relaxed, which is why in the second serve, except for the gambling-style strong serve, there is almost no saving of the ace ball.
For a true pro, the 150-160km serve is too slow, too slow to pose the slightest threat.
Of course, there are also people who can play aces in 160 kilometers of serve, the kind of serve, one is to catch the direction of the opponent's center of gravity to move, and more importantly, the flexible use of spin, play that sudden change of super angle serve, catch the opponent off guard.
Serving is a goal, Pavila's serve, is to make Fan Ju more tricky, it's not that you can't hit back, it's not that you can't catch it, it's just that for those slow sidespin serves, even if you hit back, there is no too effective advantage.
In this regard, Fan Ju can only take the lead in making changes, and must not be destroyed by the opponent to destroy his own hair extension.
The game score is 2 to 2, Fan Ju's serve game is much smoother than the opponent's, Fan Ju today uses a full flat serve mode, the ball speed will be fast, and the difficulty and speed of the service alone can make it difficult for the opponent to deal with.
Pavela also has a headache, but he knows that at this time he can only wait for the opponent's service form to slip and seize the opportunity, Fan Ju's opening serve has always been good, and it is a model of quickly entering the service state.
It's just that when it is maintained in the middle, there will inevitably be some ups and downs, and the opponent is obviously aiming for this opportunity to counterattack.
Fan Ju does not intend to strike backwards, his goal is not to get an ordinary victory, but to prove that he is not silent, and Fan Ju is still the same Fan Ju.
A serve with a strong side spin, the speed is about 180 kilometers, but after landing, it will quickly slide out to the outside, whether it is an inside corner or an outside corner, this kind of serve is very annoying, and after the angle and speed are in place, it will not be worse than a high-speed cut of 210 kilometers.
Pavira didn't take this serve to the extreme, maintaining only a 55 per cent first-serve rate, which says something about it.
Reluctantly brushed into bounds, the line did not shout out OUT, and Pavila tensed again for a moment after relaxing for less than 0.1 seconds, because he saw that Fan Ju's racket had touched the tennis ball, and it was obvious that the ball was hit back by the opponent.
"How shallow?" Pavila's one-serve style is usually hit back with force, and the quality of the hair extensions is very high, and Pavela has to praise this, this is indeed the best service extension player he has ever encountered, and the strength of each ball is well controlled, and the very threatening serve is resolved and invisible.
But this ball is a little different, but he and Fan Ju only have a few rounds of experience in the game, he didn't realize that there was something wrong with this, but when Fan Ju missed when he received the serve, he didn't hesitate to step into the midfield, ready to play a small angle of strong attack.
"It's done...... Belch! Not good! Pavila's racket had just been swung out, and he was full of joy waiting for his opponent to return the ball unprepared, but he did not hesitate to run, obviously estimating the direction of his attack.
The rush attack is fast and unprepared, but once the opponent expects the position, such a rush is very likely to become a self-digging grave.
A backcourt throw, flying in a low arc, but fast, high enough to pass the opponent's position to lift the racket, and the speed is just over Pavila's legs, which are not fast.
He pressed directly back to the backcourt from the front of the net, but the ball was still lost, and then he realized that the rotation of the hair extension close to the net just now seemed to be a little too strong, and it was too close to the net belt to make it difficult for him to play a straight line, so he could only hit the bottom line with a half-lob ball that was not fast.
"A little bit of wisdom in front of the net, but for this kind of bottom-line player, it's really useful." Fan Ju was a little proud, and as he became more aware of the site's tactics, the changes in his play began to be no longer limited to reflexes and speed.
If you change to a player who doesn't spin well enough, or who doesn't have enough ability to receive serves, this ball is simply giving away points, but changing the style is different, this is a real score, used to raid, can bring unexpected surprises to the opponent. (To be continued......)
