Chapter 143: A Regretful Victory

The Fan Ju in front of the net is like a big mountain, and no matter where Filippo's forehand hits, it will be blocked by the huge mountain.

Unlike the ball just now, Fan Ju was completely in front of the net, and Filippo had experienced Fan Ju's interception in front of the net during the game.

Unless there are very few successful returns, as long as they are intercepted by Fan Ju in front of the net, there are almost no points.

At that moment, Fanju's technology in front of the net made people feel incredible, intercepting almost in all directions, and even the net rarely appeared.

Filippo hesitated, his forehand swing subconsciously shifted a few centimeters to the upper corner of the side, such a return ball will be played relatively high, plus there is a certain speed, it is not a lob, it can only be said to be an ordinary half-high ball.

At this time, Fan Ju's reflexes have been improved to the highest, and the opponent's return time is very short, but Fan Ju clearly takes all the movements into his eyes.

The eyes did not leave the ball, but the feet had already moved two small steps to the side and back, and the position was off the net, but it happened to be on the way to the ball.

With a light jump, the height of the jump is more than 40 centimeters, and the racket swings with the jump.

The moment Fan Ju jumped, the whole person seemed to be floating in the air, but Filippo's feet could only be nailed in place and could not move.

He didn't know where his opponent's next ball would go, and when he swung his racket, he already regretted it, expecting to hit such a half-high ball, it would be better to send it back to the backcourt with a lob ball.

However, Fan Ju's interception was too sudden, and he didn't have enough time to prepare, and it was a blessing to be able to hit the ball with a forehand. What's more, what about a lob with a high accuracy of goal landing?

Not playing a high-quality crossing already means that Filippo has lost the initiative.

The power is not too big, but it is very natural and smooth. The racket that quickly pressed down, with the tennis ball in the air, smashed it towards the ground together!

Without too much force, the downward gravity and swing of the racket are enough to make this ball have an absolute suppression speed, and the opponent's position has long been clearly seen by Fan Ju, and this point is naturally affected. At the same time, it also sounded the final horn of his counterattack!

It's still a backhand suppression, but it's different from the suppression just now, and there is no stagnation in beat after beat.

Even on Filippo's serve. Fan Ju's suppression has no intention of stopping.

To Filippo's frustration, the opponent converted almost all the balls into backhand balls, whether it was a forehand or a backhand.

Lost in strength. He also used a one-handed backhand with Fan Ju. There is no room to fight back at all, and the occasional flashing forehand position is also very hurried, and there is almost no room for force.

The reason why he was able to suppress Fan Ju in the last game was precisely because he caught the opportunity to use his forehand to exert power, and once he took the initiative in one shot, then the chance of continuing to attack in the next shot will also increase.

Beat after beat, no matter how good the opponent is. The technique is steady, unless you risk returning the ball to the net and out of bounds. If you want to turn the situation around and get back the initiative, unless Filippo makes a mistake himself, it is absolutely impossible.

Filippo was originally in good shape, but Fan Ju found the dead spot in the first set and desperately suppressed the backhand.

This left him with a chaotic pace and feel for the game, and his occasional offensive was devoid of lethality, and even passive defense was in jeopardy.

When Fan Ju showed his fangs, Filippo was even more unable to resist, the mistake of the first goal made his momentum plummet, and the only thing he could rely on was the flexible movement of his feet, constantly saving the ball, and struggling to snatch back his share of the score from Fan Ju's attack.

"Useless ......"

With the final shot, Fan Ju easily caught another backhand return error from Filippo, and he had enough time to take the lead and watch his opponent's eastward direction.

Filippo sped up to the other end of the run according to his own judgment, and the rapid friction between his feet and the gravel ground was unpleasant and extremely harsh.

A straight line in disguise, which was the opposite direction of Filippo's run, Filippo realized that he was running in the wrong position, and hurriedly tried to use a brake to catch the ball in the opposite direction.

However, Fan Ju's forehand was too fast, and Filippo, who had already run through three-quarters of the court, had no time to turn.

"Ah......h

Filippo, who turned too fast, lost his balance directly because he turned too fast, and the racket was already out of his hand.

The athlete's instinct allowed Filippo to be ready to protect himself from the fall, but the red clay still made him feel a faint tingling sensation on the outside of his calf.

He even saw that the referee had already announced the suspension of the match, and hurriedly walked towards him from the net, while his opponent also looked in his direction, with some worry on his face, but not pity guilt.

"Are you alright?" The Arena Doctor quickly rushed over when he received the news, and Filippo didn't move indiscriminately, because even he didn't know if he had fallen badly.

After a burst of urgent treatment, Filippo finally determined that there was nothing serious, except for the abrasion on the outside of the calf, some blood oozed slightly, and the problem was not big after rapid disinfection and bandaging.

Because of the rapid change of direction, there was a slight sprain, but it was not strict, and after the ice was compressed, Filippo was able to walk and jump, which was like a false alarm, at least for the audience who could continue to watch the game outside the stadium.

At 4:5, Fan Ju won the last ball and completely broke serve, and then it was his own serve to win the set, especially since the opponent had just been injured, which was very beneficial to him.

Fan Ju did not despise his opponent, his serve was played very carefully, and his speed and strength remained at the level of the previous games as always, with angles and speed, and it was not easy to catch well.

“ACE!”

It's not easy, but it doesn't mean that you can't catch it, Fan Ju's serve is very fast and sudden, but it doesn't depart from the level of the previous serve, and he can hit an ace ball, but after the opponent has just been injured, this is too coincidental, right?

Fan Ju subconsciously thought that it would be the opponent's inconvenience to move, but he didn't know that the moment Filippo received the ball, the faint stinging pain in his ankle made him forcibly restrain his steps.

The injury just now was indeed not serious, and the abrasion was only oozing blood, but it was the ankle that suddenly turned and twisted, which was what worried Filippo the most.

He knows very well that in addition to his forehand, the only weapon that can fight against Fan Ju is speed, and even the power of his forehand is based on the speed that can catch up with the ball.

Fan Ju suppressed his backhand from the start of the match, like a kraft candy that couldn't be shaken off, and it always made it difficult for him to play a smooth counterattack.

And now that he's lost the weapon of speed, Filippo is at a loss, okay with the race? Do you want to choose to retire with an injury?

A professional should learn to protect himself more than he can score points, and Filippo is still young, and he doesn't want to ruin his career so easily.

Even if he is not as physically fit as a genius like Fan Ju and Nadal, Filippo has never forgotten his desire to reach the top, and whether it is ultimately achieved or not, he will do his best.

He, like Old Nick, is an outlier among the loose Italians.

However, the arena is like a battlefield, and there can be no mercy on the field, Filippo knows this, so he will not pray to Fan Ju to "let him go", and Fan Ju also knows that it is easy to say when he gets to the next stage, but on the field, he can give full play to his strength, which is the greatest respect for the opponent in front of him!

Fast and free, he played three aces in one service game, and the remaining one was also a return from Filippo out of bounds, and he almost used a perfect service game to win the first set.

Seeing his opponent staggering slightly towards the rest seat, Fan Ju couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He was looking forward to his opponent's comeback in the second set, where his backhand was suppressed, and Fan Ju didn't believe Filippo would make any changes.

Just like the match with Nadal, it was difficult to look up after being suppressed in the first set, but in the second and third sets, he used his own style of play to achieve a big reversal.

Fan Ju wants to win, but he also wants to see how this strong opponent can find a way to counter himself, and he even has some anticipation and excitement, as if he is looking forward to opening an unknown gift and wanting to get a surprise answer.

But when he saw Filippo's injury, Fan Ju knew that the result he was expecting would not come, even if the opponent could hold on until the end of the game, but the foot injury did not have the help of speed, and it was difficult for Fan Ju to imagine what other way the opponent could find a way to reverse.

Winning the competition, but losing a chance to learn, Fan Ju was disappointed, but helpless.

The game had to go on, Filippo had no intention of giving up, and after the break in the middle of the game, it seemed that he had recovered a little, at least when he received the serve, he could still catch the ball, and he could also return to the midfield to shoot against Fan Ju.

However, without the ability to quickly chase the ball and move, Fan Ju can easily suppress on the baseline without even deliberately targeting the opponent's backhand.

Filippo's forehand slam is also based on the coordination of the whole body.

At this time, the starting point of the force was injured in his foot, and his biggest weapon was sealed.

The master's move will almost be very different, not to mention that Filippo is equivalent to putting the sword into the scabbard, and he will take the scabbard to slash with Fan Ju's thick-backed big knife.

There was no flexibility, and there was no covert raid, and the initiative in the second set was all controlled by Fan Ju.

Without going online, the suppression of the baseline alone was enough for Fan Ju to win, and halfway through the second set, Filippo became more "sluggish" due to the impact of the injury.

In the end, Fan Ju even had all the ability to double the speed left, and completely relied on his own reaction speed and hitting the ball to fight with the opponent on the baseline, and beat peacefully until the end of the game......

"Thank you for taking care of you!" felt that Filippo was holding his hand, but when he spoke, he was full of helplessness and unwillingness, he was unwilling to lose like this, but the reality made him have to face a bitter failure. (To be continued......)
