Chapter 358: Slowly Unfolding
will be a ball but did not alleviate the danger, Fan Ju is still facing the suppression of Coria, so he finally stopped messing with Fan Ju and regained his advantage, and Fan Ju was finally able to score Fan Ju.
"Finally broken, Coria endured long enough this time, but it's okay, don't let him break, his defense can't find a flaw, use a set to win or lose in exchange for time, I hope it won't be wasted."
The 4:5 good times did not last long, Fan Ju just held on to one more game, and was forced to break point again by Coria, and this time Coria did not relent, broke Fan Ju's serve, and caught the first break opportunity.
Fan Ju was not unwilling, but looked at Coria's excited expression, silently planning his own tactics, this game was different from the past, with Fan Ju's current rhythm, he couldn't be in a hurry.
Waiting, perhaps, was painful, especially when Kolya won the serve game, and Fan Ju didn't show any resistance to fight back, and the audience even thought that Fan Ju had no means left.
Without a tight and fast-paced serve at the net, no breathless fast-paced attack, Fan Ju could only passively meet under Coria's defense, and counterattacking seemed to have become a luxury idea.
"No, he must have a back hand, this kid won't be so simple." The last time I played a three-set battle with Fan Ju, each game was entangled until the end of the set to determine the winner, you have to convince Coria that Fan Ju would give up? It's a fantasy.
Fan Ju's style of play was not without the slightest pressure on Coria, especially the heavy pressure topspin. As long as she is caught by Fan Ju, Koria will have to be beaten passively.
His current style of play on the court is all about restraining Fanju's topspin ball. For this she had to pay more for running and body.
In the clay field, which itself is like a body lì vacuum cleaner, such a run will undoubtedly consume a lot of his body, and Coria knows that he must lay the foundation for victory before his body reaches the inflection point.
Otherwise, the opponent will seize the opportunity to reverse it, which is not a legend.
Coria, who started the next set, was thinking more, and Fan Ju was just executing the strategy he had envisioned before the match. The first set is whether to win or lose, in fact, it is not the matter, and the five-set battle is both bad and good for Fan Ju.
At least he didn't have to face a man who didn't hesitate to do anything at all. The opponent who attacks at the same time, winning or losing one or even two sets, is only part of the game, and cannot decide the outcome of a match.
"This time I should use the Internet to pass the time. Pick up the pace. I guess the opponent will be surprised, right? Fan Ju walked to the court again, standing in the position of the receiver, he saw that Coria was ready to serve, and he also started his own preparations.
Coria's serve is not really of high quality, and the specificity of clay players also determines that their serve is more about stability than power.
Often in the game, encounter high-quality service opponents. Instead of serving at high speeds, clay players will be in trouble.
It's like Henman who went all the way through four rounds in another quarter and a half. It is almost relying on high-quality serve to score, and the high-speed Roddick was tragically eliminated in the second round, which is enough to see the different treatment of the two service players on clay.
Fan Ju's serve is a tactical demand type of serve, and the quality is not strong enough to reverse the game, it is often strong enough and fast enough, mixed with some topspin and heavy pressure serve, so that the opponent is uncomfortable enough to return the ball he needs.
And his biggest lethality comes from in front of the net, once the opponent hits this kind of return ball, it basically means losing a point, and there are some high-quality shots mixed together to grab a lot of aces.
Let Fan Ju's overall serve speed and angle look not bad, can form enough deterrence, and can assist his tactical score, the itinerary is the most beneficial result for Fan Ju.
"Not good!" Coria suddenly found that Fan Ju's style of hair extensions had changed, his serve was not slow, but he was still able to maintain a certain amount of pressure when facing ordinary opponents.
But Fan Ju used an easy sideways backhand to cut the ball, completely discharging the power on the serve, where is this extension, it is simply holding back the ball in front of the net.
was released directly by the opponent on the serve, which is probably only possible for Fan Ju, a wonderful extension, to make such a move.
Of course, it is also thanks to the fact that Coria's serve is not strong, and if he changes to a player like Roddick, Fan Ju's qiē is afraid that the ball will already fly out of bounds.
Fan Ju ran to the net in two steps with the power of the side, close to his cutting ball landing point, in the middle of the court, needless to say, Coria also kept up with Fan Ju's movements without slowing down, but when he really stood face to face with Fan Ju, Koria didn't know how to deal with it!
Fight with Fan Ju before playing the net? Maybe his dignity as a professional player will make him choose this, but the problem is that Fan Ju's pre-net skills have long exceeded the scope of professional players.
There is a saying in the tennis world that it is better to play the bottom line with Fan Ju for an hour, and not to fight with him in front of the net for a while, this is not only because Fan Ju is strong enough in front of the net, but Fan Ju in front of the net, when you stand on the same parallel line with him, what you feel is by no means a level that a human being should be able to achieve.
"Pick the ball!" Koria didn't have time to choose, he told himself in his heart that it wasn't evasion, the racket was picked up, and the ball seemed to have enough angles to fly past Fan Ju's interception.
From the front of the net to the bottom line, and from the bottom line to the front of the net, the distance between the two seems to be the same, but in fact the technology is not the same, the height of the flight, the arc of the fall, and most importantly, you have to face the interception of the high-pressure kill, or a reluctantly reflexive swing after chasing the ball, is a completely different state.
Coria's pick was a bit hurried, and he didn't have time to think about it so much, and the most he used to play was the sudden release of the ball on the bottom line, and the distance felt was similar to this.
Habitually, people use the hand they use most often, and Koria has chosen the technique she is most accustomed to as a response.
"Good time!" Fan Ju smiled, Coria picked a good one, but unfortunately the arc is too low, and it is enough to cross the net and put it in front of him?
Coria had never known that she could jump so high on clay, let alone that Fan Ju was still jumping on the spot, and the racket didn't seem to be for playing, but just to intercept the ball in the path it was flying.
This made him feel a little surprised, but he didn't have time to react, his body had the desire to move backwards, but his brain forgot to think, just raised his head and squinted his eyes, looking for the disappearing ball in the shadow formed by the sun after Fan Ju jumped.
Did you find it? Of course, Coria found the missing return ball in the caddy's hand after returning to the tee, and sent the ball back in a bad way, although he didn't know when, the ball would be sent back to his hands, but at the moment he didn't want to see it appear in front of his eyes.
It's too bullying, isn't it better than me in front of the Internet? If Koria could speak, I'm afraid she would have scolded a long time ago, but unfortunately she could only turn around and get angry silently by herself, and she had to think about how to deal with the attack in front of the net by Fan Ju's raid.
Fan Ju returned to the bottom line, he was silent, in the eyes of Coria it was incredible, but in his opinion it was taken for granted, and even the ball just now was a little risky, not that he didn't play well enough, but that he didn't handle it rationally.
He didn't have to force too close to the net at all, but the acceleration on the clay made him almost take a small step for a while, and of course, it was this small step that gave him the opportunity to directly intercept Coria's high ball, otherwise he had to run back to the bottom line as he originally expected, and go to cross again, saving a process.
"It's a pity that the 1.5x speed cutting ball is still not weakened enough completely, and the ball is still over the point." Fan Ju lamented that he used multiples in clay matches, using a special method that uses the automatic transmission to boost, but does not open the gears to the limit.
1x speed doesn't really work, but what about being a little faster than 1x speed? The cost is not greater than double the speed, but the instant return effect is good.
However, it is good to be able to do this, and he has to continue to put pressure on Coria and make his opponent accumulate more mental burden, which is his tactic, but it is also taking advantage of one of his opponent's weaknesses.
Probably because of his specialization on clay, Coria doesn't have the same dedication to all court matches as Fan Ju, nor does he have the stubborn temper of Nadal.
It can even be said that Coria has a withdrawn gene in his blood, which makes him unable to maintain his best mental state to face the game all the time.
Maybe this also has something to do with the fact that when Coria first joined the profession, he was accidentally injured by banned drugs, he experienced a lot of setbacks when he was young, and it was not easy to get to this point from a new rise, and it was inevitable that there would be some different feelings in his heart to catch up with his peers who were the same age but had reached the world's No. 1.
Making the opponent feel invincible is exactly what Fan Ju is all about, and he wants to add a burden to the opponent's psychology on the pitch, or even in a certain area of this match.
Once you touch this field, let your opponent take the initiative to retreat, so that you can give yourself a chance.
Of course, this field will never be in the field that the opponent is good at, Fan Ju chose a quick attack in front of the net after thinking about it, after all, this is his real territory, and it is also the opponent's weakness.
However, the first few attempts were still rushed, but fortunately, the second set had a good start, and the layout of Fan Ju could also start to unfold slowly. (To be continued......)
