Chapter 334: How to Change?
It's not so easy to see Fan Ju's mistakes on the net, as Fan Ju's opponent, what he is often waiting for is not the return of Fan Ju's mistakes, but a strong blow in front of the net!
As soon as he scored a goal and attacked the net, Srichapan's movement was too slow in Fan Ju's opinion, and in the face of net-type players, he obviously lacked adaptability and did not know the best position, giving Fan Ju too much room to swing the racket.
"Beautiful, the straight shot in front of the net on the left, Sricchapan didn't move at the receiving point, and Fan Ju's swing obviously confused the opponent again." Even if it was a mistake, there was nothing wrong with Fan Ju itself.
With a second serve of Sri Chapan's return ball to the net, Fan Ju easily won the first first service game, 5 serves, only 2 successfully scored a serve, the service efficiency is low, but the scoring efficiency is very good.
However, in the second game, after Sricchapan served, the efficiency did not have to be low at all.
"It looks like he's in good shape, that's three balls." The score came to 40:0 in a blink of an eye, and Fan Ju had not yet scored a point.
It's a very bad score, but Fan Ju is not in a hurry, unlike his score, his opponent's score comes more from a tricky angle of serve.
Fan Ju's extension is indeed good, but the large-angle serve is difficult to counter, and Srichapan's serve has top-level strength, although the forehand is slightly weaker, and the power and control will not be inferior to the top players.
This is the standard serving and forehand scoring pattern, but the forehand with the same amount is not fully displayed, but the serve takes the lead first.
"Four serves, very beautiful to win the serve. Even Fan Ju will show a weak side when he encounters his opponent's strong serve attack. "The commentary is a quick summary, but the game ended too quickly. I don't see any advantages for both sides at all.
It's just that Fan Jubiao seems to be a little "tired" today, not really tired, but a little slow to open the market, not like in the past, he quickly entered the state and took the initiative to attack, today he seems to be waiting for something.
"Do you need time to serve and forehand?" Fan Ju got the serve. I looked at my opponent again, and I was a little disappointed.
Yes, it's not that Fan Ju didn't get into the state, but he was waiting for the opponent to get into the state. He hadn't forgotten that he was going to use Srichapan as a whetstone.
But the opponent in front of him was not weak, but he didn't play the best state he should have, and Fan Ju had to put down his body to guide. But they have to maintain a certain advantage in the service game. to be sure of your victory.
Guiding a world-class player into the groove may sound arrogant, but one thing is for sure, Fan Ju does take the initiative against Srichapan.
“OUT!” Srichapan returned the ball out of bounds, and Fan Ju won the serve again, but he was pressed by a racket before the net, and he was exhausted. After touching the ball, you can only make such a reluctant return.
In order to lure the opponent's desire to attack, Fan Ju let himself be behind for a while. But the opponent was still tepid, which made Fan Ju lose his patience a little.
"Is there really no state?" Returning to the caddy's parasol, Fan Ju drank his water and decided to give Srichapan one last chance.
When the score becomes 2:2, Fan Ju will start to break serve, and there is no reason for him to accompany an opponent who is not in shape and cannot play the tactics he needs to "practice".
Srichapan's strength chart does not match his ranking, compared to him at his peak, his stability has decreased significantly, which is not only not as good as the top Roddick, but even his strength has dropped to the level of 30th or even 50th.
The ball lightly touched the net, bounced up and drew an arc, and Fan Ju really chose to give up the whetstone that should have been perfect.
A moment ago, Fan Ju was still on the baseline with Srichapan, testing each other with a backhand cut, but the return that should have been steady was hit by the opponent on the net.
This should not be the level that normal play should have, at this moment, Fan Ju's pace became faster, in front of everyone's eyes, before the ball landed for the second time, the racket was already under the tennis ball.
The half-crouch step adjustment, the racket swings from the bottom to the top, not an ordinary high throw to save the ball, but a forehand press with topspin.
Srichapan didn't expect this change at all, he didn't even realize the intention of Fan Ju's counter-attack, and subconsciously swung his racket to meet it, but the ball was hit hard and flew off the baseline.
The court finally resounded with long-lost applause, the first few games seemed very depressing, even Fan Ju's net score, it didn't seem so sharp, Srichapan's mistake made Fan Ju choose to stop this shallow temptation, he wanted to start attacking, so that the opponent lost hope of winning in the trembling.
Sricapan served, perhaps feeling threatened, but he also changed and did not want to lose, and Sricapan came to the court with great determination, gambling on his dignity as a professional.
Internet! Srichapan went online, unlike Fan Ju who was in place in one step, and he didn't have gorgeous skills in front of the net, and after a shot, he even hesitated at the bottom line.
The action of the net is a little hesitant, but this is based on the strong pressure of the forehand after the net is very beautiful, and in the face of Fan Ju's return ball, he released a soft backhand ball.
"Looks like he's still capable!" At the bottom line, he didn't pursue it, he didn't have to chase it, and when he met his opponent's forehand, he had already seen Srichapan standing in front of the net.
It's too far, and the ball speed is too fast, which is an absolute nirvana, although the person who puts the ball is not good at these gentle movements, and it also has the effect of giving up in another way.
"It's me, not him, who is at fault!" With a pat on the head, Fan Ju seemed to understand something.
At this time, Fan Ju gradually understood what mistakes he had made before, what professional players were, they were the kind of creatures whose opponents were stronger, and I had to be stronger than my opponents.
Fan Ju blindly expressed Xiàn's "weakness", and Srichapan, who was not in the best state in his own right, naturally couldn't get up with a tough determination.
But when Fan Ju gave up and began to attack, Srichapan felt the danger, and this alertness came from the player's instincts, the instincts that had been cultivated in the field for a long time.
When is Fan Ju happiest when he preserves? What do you feel like you're improving? That's when I practiced with Sharapova and Nadal.
Both of them are characters who refuse to admit defeat on the court, which can make Fan Ju feel the pressure, even if the strength is insufficient, even if he is not overwhelmed by the top technology, but only then can he have the same feeling as the game.
Srichapan has a fighting spirit, and Fan Ju has confidence, although it is still a lot short of what he needs, but people can't be so greedy, right?
The score came to 40:40, and Fan Ju finally waited for the combination attack he wanted to see.
With a shot and a speed of more than 200 kilometers, Fan Ju was slightly hurried to receive the hair, and his movements and body were somewhat deformed.
Fortunately, it was the serve in the inside corner, and after adjusting the center of gravity, it came to the middle line, but Srichapan's forehand shot arrived, and it was a powerful forehand, a forehand shot full of power.
Fan Ju didn't have to look at the ball at all, just hearing the sound like a hammer to know the weight of the ball, the speed of the ball was not comparable to the speed of sound, but when the sound reached Fan Ju's ears and reacted, the ball had already flown over the net.
"This is it!" Fan Ju wants his opponent to play this kind of combination ball, powerful and effective, with pressure but not out of control.
It's just that the opponent's condition was too poor before, and the ball speed and strength couldn't be improved at all, so Sricchapan used more slicing to ease the ball speed, but rarely used such a refreshing forehand to play his real advantage.
Fan Ju was unrelenting in the face of this ball, and also put on a full-strength volley action, he knew that he not only had to hit the ball back, but also to spin the ball, and the power required was not as simple as 1+1, but also needed the perfect coordination of control and strength.
In the two rounds, the two have already run a lap around the four corners of the court, and the sparring is not just a practice in the center of the court.
Srichapan needs to score and hold serve, and Fan Ju, originally to adapt and crack this pattern, he can give up the net to finish the ball, but it is impossible to give up the opportunity to put pressure on the opponent on the baseline.
"Smack!"
Fan Ju's return from the bottom corner didn't look any different, but Srichapan's disguised forehand was unexpectedly wronged!
The score became Fan Ju taking the lead, a chance to break, and as an opponent, Sricchapan knew very well that Fan Ju would never give up the opportunity to break, which meant that after his next goal, he was afraid that he would fall into a backward and passive score.
"Is that so? Sure enough, everything has to be studied carefully to find a difference. ”
But Fan Ju didn't think about breaking serve, he was still immersed in the feeling of the ball just now, and he really couldn't catch what he wanted with a ball, but he found a clue.
The opponent wanted to change the line, and the ball he faced was not heavy, but the backhand spin was shallower than the previous balls, which obviously made Srichapan misjudge.
Changing the line and spin of the ball in a continuous pair of shots is not so simple, and it can turn into an opportunity for your opponent, regardless of the power of the ball.
If the ball wants to be more threatening, it must be close enough to the belt when it crosses the net, and a difference of a few centimeters when crossing the net often determines how effective the ball is.
Srichapan wanted to change, but he crashed into the net, not because Fan Ju put pressure on him, but because he made a wrong choice.
"But how do you make a player like Roddick choose the wrong one? His one-tendon tactics seem to be pure pressure, right? Fan Ju had to fall into thinking again.
Roddick is not like Srichapan, he has changed less, but the effect is better, if you want to force Roddick to take the initiative to change, Fan Ju has to put more pressure on him! (To be continued......)
