Chapter 179: The Changing Pitch
"The offense in front of the net needs a little more changes...... Fan Ju glanced at the ball in front of the net that was returned to the net by mistake after being beaten back by the opponent just now, adding a requirement to himself.
The match in front of many surprised many, a wild card player, still an Asian, against a top player ranked 12th in the world.
One is at the peak of his career, and the other is just a fledgling kid who has participated in a tournament, and no matter how you look at it, the situation should not be this on the field.
"5:4" a fast serve, Fan Ju once again caught the opponent's turn.
It took a double speed, but he was able to solve the service game that entangled him with 2 deuces, and Fan Ju felt that it was still very cost-effective, and the opponent's weakness was not easy to grasp.
To be able to hold serve, Fan Ju used ten percent of his energy, constantly switching between non-double speed and low speed rhythm, and rarely used high speed state, which is the rhythm he set for himself.
Very steady acceleration and deceleration, so as not to let his rhythm be disrupted by the opponent, for the opponent's strong and powerful attack, Fan Ju remained vigilant, but on the contrary, did not use the state of high speed to fight back.
"It's different from his previous style of play, it's too conservative...... "There were not only spectators in the stands, but also Fan Ju's friends, although Sharapova lost the game, but when the game started, she still came to the arena with Yuri to watch the game.
Her eyes were slightly swollen and bloodshot from the whites of her eyes, and she had obviously just cried, but Sharapova had calmed down by this time.
"No, I think it's more like him. Now he's definitely preserving his strength, and I'm sure he'll surprise his opponent at the critical moment! Sharapova's words sounded a little blind. But if you want to say who in this world knows the best about Fan Ju in the state of double speed, I am afraid that she will not be able to find a second one.
Yuri looked helplessly at his daughter beside him, and after he wanted to participate in the tournament, he rushed to England with Sava to prepare for the Tour in Birmingham on June 9, and then prepare for Wimbledon on June 23.
In terms of rankings, Sharapova is not far from qualifying for the main draw of a Grand Slam. As long as you can directly participate in Wimbledon, Sharapova's tough baseline play can give her a greater advantage on grass.
The more time to prepare. It is undoubtedly more beneficial for Sharapova to improve her grades, but Yuri finds that her daughter has grown up, and stubbornly asks to wait until Fan Ju is eliminated before she will leave France.
"If you can play more at Wimbledon than you can do at Wimbledon. A combination of the bottom line and surfing the internet. I think you'll be able to beat more opponents. Yuri didn't want to affect his daughter's state because of the quarrel, and he knew that Fan Ju would meet a highly-seeded player in the first round, so he probably wouldn't let himself wait too long.
At the same time, Yuri also appreciates Fan Ju's wisdom on the court, although some of his remarks are too unfounded, but some can see that Fan Ju has a high tennis IQ, has his own opinions on analysis, and is immature, but already has his own routine. It's much better than Sharapova's talent and training, knowing how to think for herself. It's also easier to progress.
The father and daughter continued to pay attention to the game on the field, focusing on the fan of the field, and did not know how many pairs of eyes were watching him in the stands, in front of the TV across the ocean.
He only has an opponent in front of him now! Only the opponent's ugly serve, the strong and accurate return line, and the turn again and again, and the ever-changing game.
"The opening is over, the next section of the symphony of variations!"
No one knows what happened, and no one knows what this game really means.
When Schalken saw Fan Ju take a step forward and move, he felt a little bad in his heart, and in the first four sets of his own service game, he had clearly realized how terrible Fan Ju's service extension was.
Didn't miss the ball? Scharken remembered the person who sued him for this evaluation, and he couldn't wait to scold that guy, where is there no leakage, and the pressure brought to him by the opponent's serve will not be much less than the ordinary opponent's serve.
Fan Ju's hair extensions after the opening were all close to the service line, which had caused him great trouble, but now he took another step forward? Schalken couldn't help but raise his service angle to another requirement.
After playing tennis for so many years, Schalken has learned to observe some of the details of his opponent, which usually means that the opponent has to make changes, which may be aimed at one of his weaknesses.
And at the critical moment when you can win the match with a break, such details cannot be ignored, but Schalken does not know that Fan Ju has indeed changed, but it is not a small trouble that can be solved by improving the quality of the serve a little......
The quality of the serve played by the stiff serve is not low, and the speed of 190 kilometers per hour, coupled with the cut outside angle serve, this ball has almost reached the highest quality that Schalken can serve.
The big man doesn't serve high-speed balls, but even this kind of serve is enough, and it is enough to deal with ordinary opponents, but against Fan Ju......
"It's coming!" The speed of the ball in Fan Ju's eyes became extremely slow after the opponent left the racket, less than 100 kilometers, like a gentle return ball.
However, the weight is as heavy as a shackle, but it makes it difficult for him to move an inch, and he must use all his strength when exerting his strength, which makes him maintain a "normal" expression for a long time, and can't help but produce some hideous changes.
When the racket hits the ball, Fan Ju uses an extremely ordinary flat sweep, but there is no jump assistance in the force, and he only relies on his waist, abdomen and upper limb muscles to exert power.
The short-term waist and abdomen exercises still had some effect, and in the slowdown time, Fan Ju clearly felt that the power of his swing not only came from the arms, but also the waist and abdomen provided greater assistance.
Strong waist and abdomen strength reduces the burden on the delicate parts of the elbows and wrists.
A very complete force, the line of the ball flying back is also straight rather than high abandonment, such a return speed is bound to be very high, no matter how fast the opponent reacts, such a hair extension is enough to become a powerful killer!
Smashed near the bottom line on the diagonal side, after a quick bounce, the speed slowed down slightly under the influence of the red clay.
The drop was too deep, and such a slowdown was not enough for Schalken to chase the ball, and his long legs became an obstacle to his acceleration.
"It's not that you can run fast with long legs, sometimes short legs can accelerate faster than long legs!" Fan Ju looked at his legs and shook his head again, he is also a long leg, although the proportion is shorter than that of European and American players, compared with those players who are 175 tall, the stride length is a little larger.
Only short and fast steps are the best rhythm on a tennis court with a distance of no more than 10 meters from start to stop.
Fan Ju was always reducing his pace distance and increasing the frequency, but the opposite Schalken did not realize this, and when he was chasing, he still subconsciously took a big stride, which only made him more distant from the ball.
"First Goal ......" Fan Ju took a breath, the world is still so slow, even if there is no game, he has not withdrawn from the state of double speed.
Maintaining a state of double speed, his movements seemed a little "anxious", but in fact, Fan Ju was just acting at a normal frequency.
The opponent didn't know what Fan Ju thought, and the loss of the first serve also allowed him to verify his previous worries, seeing that Fan Ju was still standing one step inside the service line, he hesitated at this time.
Scharken's serve is very steady, but not powerful, and steady dìng can only help him get a good rhythm on the second beat, but the opponent in front of him obviously doesn't even intend to give him the opportunity to take the second beat.
At this time, Scharken really felt the difference in Fan Ju, and the interception score of the clay net did not give him much shock.
"This kind of return can make you feel desperate when you serve, a kind of desperation that forces you to play a higher quality serve, because even if you play a higher quality serve, it is still difficult to get a direct score on the serve, and the ace will only become his tennis name when he plays against him."
At this time, Scharken did not feel this despair, he only felt the pressure, a very indescribable pressure.
Facing a player who is hundreds of places lower than him in the world ranking, Fan Ju, who is 8 years younger than him, he has a lot of pressure on his serve, this is the first time he has made a double error in this match, and when he saw the second serve that scraped the net and went out of bounds, Schalken realized that he was in trouble!
2 goals down, or a crucial end-of-set serve, if this game is lost, it means that the previous 9 games will be the result of the opponent.
Scharken doesn't want this to happen anyway, it will give the opponent more confidence and at the same time it will be more bad for himself!
"Steady dìng, steady dìng, hit the second beat first!" Scharken took a deep breath, and he was still confident that most of Fan Ju's timetable was not strong in his return shots, and he could only suppress him on the serve.
He is confident that as long as he confronts himself on the bottom line, Fan Ju will never possess it, and it is also because of this confidence that he has made steady progress and swung his racket again, and he is bound to play a beautiful shot that can suppress the opponent!
"Second Goal ......"
Fan Ju thought silently in his heart, his expression was calm and quickly turned into hideous, the hair extension was the only time he didn't need to hide his expression, not only did he not need to hide, he also needed to show his opponent that he was changing, and put pressure on him psychologically.
Even if it is a point, as long as you have an advantage, Fan Ju will do it, and the accumulation of little advantages can lead to the end of the final victory! (To be continued......)
