Chapter 142: The Heart of Victory
The same clay, the same opponent, but Fan Ju felt a completely different game.
Both sides are "acquaintances", Filippo showed high fighting spirit at the beginning, after all, he just won the championship 2 days ago, and he defeated Fan Ju on the field, whether in terms of momentum or psychology, Filippo is undoubtedly the dominant side.
Fan Ju let go of the burden, but the opponent still remembered the feeling at the time, and as soon as he came up, he was ready to give Fan Ju a dismount!
"So strong!"
The offense did not hesitate, nor did he think about defending, Filippo played very fluently on the baseline, and Fan Ju was even more vigilant in his heart, although he had already figured out how to play this game, whether it was really useful or not, and it was still necessary to get the result on the field.
Filippo, who took the initiative to attack, had to say that he was very strong, and he easily took the first service game, and just when he wanted to take advantage of the victory to chase and break the opponent first, Fan Ju's counterattack also came!
There is no strong spin on the ball, which is a bit different from the previous shots.
The power of the spin did not disappear, but was transferred to the speed of the ball, and the speed of the increase may not be much, not even 10 kilometers.
It seems to be a chicken rib speed-up, but it has an implicit purpose of exemplifying itself.
Filippo returned the ball with a backhand, because the ball speed was too fast and there was not much time to prepare, the ball was a little too shallow, and the strength itself was insufficient, and the advantage of one-handed backhand was difficult to play.
The ball does not fly fast when it flies over the net, and if it is a past move, I am afraid that at this time, I will have to seize the opportunity to go directly to the net and force the opponent to be afraid of his own net and have to hit a high ball. Or just force the net with the ball and use lethal interceptions to make the opponent lose points quickly.
But at this time, Fan Ju still stayed at the bottom line. The position has been adjusted to the forehand position, but in fact there is no good direct scoring opportunity.
"Smack!" With a forehand force, Fan Ju aimed the ball at the opponent's backhand again, which seemed to be just an offensive ball with a diagonal line to the backhand position.
It's another fast ball, lacking spin power but not heavy, but the landing point is very deep, and you even need to take a big step back to the service line.
Elongation of distances. Make it more difficult to hit the ball, even if it's not a full force if it's a forehand. It's not too difficult for Filippo, but the backhand is ......
“15:0”
The return ball is very shallow, and the return is also delayed because he wants to control the force, and Fan Ju is following a forehand big slash. And this big slash. Fan Ju completely hit a lethal forehand with full power.
Unlike his opponent, his arm strength is strong enough that he doesn't need to jump up to exert force, he only needs the strength of his waist, abdomen and arms to deliver a fast and fatal blow!
When the ball bounced up, it had already crossed the boundary line of doubles, and Filippo gave Fan Ju too much time to prepare, and he was also delayed too long by his own backhand.
I don't know if it's a little remorseful, Filippo shook his head by himself, obviously feeling very dissatisfied with the completely suppressed game just now.
It was completely different from what he thought. In his tactics, he should use his forehand to give his opponent a fierce response. Then, after waiting for the opportunity to predict the position in advance, continue to suppress the opponent with the forehand, as long as you wait for the error, it is your best chance to score.
But he didn't know that the Fan Ju in front of him was not the opponent who was not in good shape at the beginning, and after Nadal's match, Fan Ju saw the real weakness of Filippo, the weakness that was enough to defeat his opponent!
Another serve, steady and high-speed, the state of Fan Ju can be seen from the serve.
Today he was in good shape, and his first serve was more stable than ever, which put a lot of pressure on Filippo's hair extensions, and he had to pay full attention when he extended his hair, for fear that a single negligence would lose a point.
However, it was in vain, and the return shot was good, but Fan Ju followed up on the second beat, but once again accurately found Filippo's backhand.
"Backhand again?"
In just two rounds, Filippo felt that something was wrong, and today's Fan Ju's hit was extraordinarily hit, although he didn't show Xiàn out of his serve, and he was still the opponent's slow heat, but now it seems that this is a slow heat, and it is completely premeditated to dig out a flaw from his backhand!
Filippo didn't understand it too late, but even if he did, what could he do?
Fan Ju's backhand was completely premeditated, and even sacrificing spin on some Cheng dù to ensure that the ball could accurately find the opponent's backhand and carry out continuous suppressive counterattacks.
Tennis is a competitive sport, and the higher the level of competition, the more "feeling" it is.
Maybe it sounds unreliable, shouldn't it be said that it is technology?
In fact, professional practice is just a way to turn technique into a feeling of being effective, and every swing you feel on the field is the feeling of remembering with your body memory when you are training, and if the game is smooth, then the feeling will get better and better, which is the so-called downwind ball.
However, when one encounters your troubles and frequently returns the ball to the net and out of bounds, you will subconsciously deny the correctness of the feeling, which will lead to the more and more the game will be played more and more unsmoothly, and in the end the loss will be inexplicable.
Filippo felt this way at this time, he played well in the first game of serve, but when Fan Ju began to suppress his backhand, the two service games and mistakes came more and more each time.
The situation on the court became very strange, and Fan Ju didn't want to break serve, as if he was just striking to hit his opponent's backhand.
Filippo didn't make a difference on Fan Ju's serve, but his own serve went from bad to worse, and in the third game he almost lost his serve to a double fault, leaving the crowd dumbfounded by the news to support the local new Challenger champion.
There was less applause in the stands, and more spectators were inclined to watch the game first, but there seemed to be a few people with smiles on their faces, Raschet, Kotrina, Honoré and Nadal's uncle and nephew.
"Did Raphael see that? Fan Ju is much smarter than you, remember that sometimes it doesn't matter if you win or lose on the field, the final victory or defeat is the key to success, and you can't give up until the last minute, because you don't know if your opponent can't hold on! "Tony Nadal was full of stern faces, and even though there was a game in the afternoon, he still brought his nephew to the stadium to watch the match with his own eyes.
He doesn't know if Fan Ju will win or if he will be able to find a way to defeat his opponent, but he knows very well that it is important for him to let Rafael watch this match, no matter who wins or loses, it can arouse Rafael's fighting spirit, and whoever wins the match can be Nadal's motivation and goal to move towards the final.
"I saw my uncle, and I already knew what I was wrong about, but is it really good for Fan Ju to do this? Why do I feel like attacking his ......?"
"Needless to say, I understand what you mean, when the game comes, you can sue him on the field yourself!" Tony Nadal is satisfied, his nephew is a tennis prodigy, and now it seems that Fan Ju is far better than beating him Filippo, Fan Ju will make Nadal find a sense of competition and have more potential to reach the top.
Filippo Volandry is indeed very talented, but the gap in talent makes him have little hope of reaching the top.
On the other hand, although he was born in an area where tennis is not popular, the speed of progress, physical quality, and even age make Tony Nadal feel very satisfied.
In terms of balanced control and instantaneous judgment, he is even better than his nephew Rafael Nadal, and he dares to assert that if Fan Ju does not suffer from Yan zhòng's injury in the future, then one day in the future, there will be no problem in entering the world's top 10 rankings, even if you look at the top three, it may not be hopeless.
As for his nephew Rafael, Tony has the same expectations, both of them are rising tennis stars, so that they can improve each other in the competition, there is no better choice.
……
"Almost......"
The goal of several people was to throw themselves into the game again, and after waiting for most of the game, it was finally time for Fan Ju's backhand suppression tactics to bear fruit.
Fan Ju, who was able to suppress the attack, won his fourth service game smoothly, while his opponent Filippo was forced to break to a tie by Fan Ju again in his previous service game.
The difference between Filippo and the previous few days was only that the backhand was targeted by the opponent, but the gap in the score was so huge that he accepted it for a while, but he had to face this fact.
"It's online!"
Filippo saw the return of the serve, and suddenly rushed to the net Fan Ju, he once again found that it flew towards his backhand, he was hesitant, in fact, he could give up the forehand position.
But to give up his position, it means that he has less time to lead and prepare, unless he gives up the ball and goes straight to the backcourt?
"Is this your own serve? Why give up the offense on your own initiative? But as soon as this idea appeared, Filippo subconsciously rejected it.
He is a professional tennis player, and he also has a desire to win no less than his opponent, but he is worried that his opponent will give up the initiative to attack when he goes online? Wouldn't it be easier to just admit defeat and leave the tennis world?
Fight it out!
Filippo didn't flash his forehand, he made a quick backhand swing, and the speed of the swing was very fast, although it had no power, but it was more decisive and fast than the previous backshots.
Fan Ju suddenly saw the incoming ball in the different direction, and the footsteps in front of the net stopped instantly, and with an oblique sideways acceleration, the racket also stretched out, and the action was very large, it seemed to be a little hurried, but the ball was just stopped in the center of the racket.
"It's dangerous!"
There was no afterburner and no spin, just the return ball after the half-time interception, Fan Ju still underestimated the opponent's willpower, and even dared to directly use the backhand, making it dangerous for him to receive the ball.
The intercepted return ball was very sudden, but it gave the opponent a chance to hit the ball with a forehand, but Fan Ju rushed to the net again without stopping, blocking most of the positions that the opponent might attack, the game had just begun, and the battle of wills had reached its peak, and the victory or defeat was only one goal!
