In terms of muscle strength, the wide-headed brain Yuzhny is much weaker than Fan Ju, but Wimbledon is not a court that relies on strength to eat, and too strong topspin shots or even flat shots will become a burden, a burden on the stability of the feet.

"It's a really good weather day and it's a good opponent on the other side." Between the rounds Fan Ju glanced at the sunlight shining into the field from above the court, his body and brain relaxed.

The venue is still a delicate grass, slippery and not easy to exert force, but without the semi-finals of the Queen's Cup, the different bounces that fall on the withered yellow and emerald green grass can make the citrus who has practiced on the grass field for more than half a month more adaptable.

Instead, Yuzhny was in trouble in the opening stanza, a problem he hadn't even anticipated.

In '01 and '02, Yuzhny played at Wimbledon, and reached the fourth round on both occasions, and in the round of 16, he lost to the Australian Raft, who was ranked tenth in the world in '00, and fell directly to Hewitt, who was at the peak of his form, in '02.

Two consecutive last-16 experiences have made Youzhny full of affection for grass, which also makes him, including his coach, unaware of what a troublesome opponent he will face at Wimbledon this time!

Fan Ju was actually worried, and he was worried that his loss to Tim Henman would become a case for his opponent to study against him.

He exposed too many problems in that match, not technically, but with those small connections and handling. If you master these weaknesses, you can completely suppress yourself.

Like Henman, he pressed himself to the bottom line and couldn't move, as long as he did this. If you can suppress yourself on the bottom line, I'm afraid it will be easier to win than Henman.

"You didn't change your style of play for yourself? Is this arrogance or ignorance? But at the beginning of the game, Fan Ju was dumbfounded, stupid not because the opponent was too strong, but because he obviously had strong strength, but he exposed his huge gap, so that he had no pressure on the Internet, which was incredible.

There was no pressure to win the first set. Relying only on double speed and double the speed of the interval can confuse the opponent, and the opponent will not even know that he is a serve net player. also took the initiative to play a small ball to "cooperate with himself", and the cool Fan Ju was almost embarrassed to attack.

Well, the first set passed like this, and the laid-back Fan Ju even had the heart to bask in the sun at the rest seat. The scorching heat of the summer sun didn't seem to stop him from being in a good mood. If the opponent can't make a change, Fan Ju can even happily look forward to the start of the next round.

Although Yuzhny did not show obvious anxiety compared to Fan Ju, his shaky feet and unsteady movements showed his inner hesitation.

Losing is not unexpected, especially after entering the tour, I am afraid that it will become a luxury to win one game a year. Halfway through '03, Yuzhny has yet to reach a semi-final.

It's a normal process. Youzhni knows exactly how difficult it will be to win a tournament from the top 10 in the competitive world of professional tennis.

"No, you can't give the opponent the front of the net, you have to suppress the bottom line." The mistake in the first set made him know what he was going to do next, even if he didn't know the opponent's style of play, but after a game, he couldn't have understood the opponent's strength in front of the net.

Yuzhny thinks that he is very unlucky, it is only an easy first round, but he met such an opponent, and because he didn't study it well in the first round, he knew that the opponent would play the net, and the coach mentioned to him that he should also know that he should suppress the opponent at the bottom line, and the pre-match tactics were arranged like this.

However, once on the court, Yuzhny is still used to playing his own tennis, and in the past, he relied on his tennis to break into the round of 16 at Wimbledon twice in a row, and in his opinion, his tennis is the same as the technique of the top 16 on grass.

But he couldn't imagine that his opponent was a super opponent who held the most powerful weapon in the grass to fight the game.

Not having played Sampras on grass left Yuzhny only with an idea of the serve net without recognising how scary the technique can be on grass.

Youzhny recognized the problem, and as soon as the second set began, he played a tight baseline, and the way to restrain his opponent from netting in his own service game was simple, changing the line and pressing the baseline return.

Perhaps Yuzny's change did have some effect, Fan Ju did reduce the invasion in front of the net in the opponent's service game, and instead began to play with the opponent to change the bottom line.

This is very beneficial for Yuzhny, who has an advantage over Fan Ju in terms of baseline strokes, and at least the accuracy of changing the line with more force, his control zhì is stronger than his opponent.

Fast and accurate line change shots can change a lot, often just one shot, can turn the advantages of both sides upside down, Fan Ju has power but lacks precision, can occasionally hit a beautiful return, but can not maintain a continuous effective attack for a long time.

"Let you relax for a while......" Fan Ju looked at the opponent's return ball at a large angle on the baseline, shook his head and thought in his heart.

Did Yuzhny really suppress Fan Ju so easily? I'm afraid that after looking at the score, you will put a question mark in your heart, and in the second set of the game, Yuzhny served first, and the score was only 4:3.

In the game, Youzhny did not complete a break, and only barely touched 2 break points of Fan Ju, and Fan Ju was a little less than Youzny, only one break point, but Yuzhny's return with a return that was difficult to suppress even twice the speed was saved, so there was no guide zhì This break point turned into a real break tragedy.

Fan Ju didn't release the water, but further strengthened his offensive on the serve and net, a bit like Tim Henman's style of play, attacking when serving and defending when receiving.

Of course, compared with Henman's defense, Fan Ju's defense is more like an offense, and the counterattack and power of the fast shot are no less than that of Yuzhny on the opposite side.

It's just that the gap in technology makes Fan Ju seem to have not broken the opponent's suppression, but on the contrary, he may be broken again.

Fan Ju serves, one serve into bounds, the ball speed is not fast, about 170 kilometers, which is different from Fan Ju's previous high-speed serve, but it is very effective for the play style of serving and netting.

Yuzhny returned the ball very reluctantly, the ball came from the middle, and there was no option to change the direction of his backhand, Yuzhny could only swing the racket back.

And Fan Ju has already reached the boundary of the service area on the way to the ball, the racket hit out to the left pad, and the ball flew towards the opposite position of Yuzhny, Yuzhny faced the small ball that hit the bottom line of the opposite corner, but had to spread his legs to catch up, which means that Fan Juqiu once again completed the standard process of serving to the net, and finally waited for the opponent to make a mistake, or to score by himself!

deliberately reduced the speed of the ball and increased his first-serve goal rate, Fan Ju did not lose the service pressure because of this, but on the contrary, the reduction of the serve was mostly aimed at the opponent's backhand straight return position.

That is, Tim Henman used to deal with his serve, and Fan Ju used it very cleverly, unlike Tim Henman, who used it rigidly to death.

On the contrary, mixed with other high-speed serves, Fan Ju effectively improves the goal rate of a serve, and makes his front of the net more efficient.

"There's no harm in learning from the old-timers, it's really easy and easy to use." Yuzhny's return ball goes into the net, and the probability of passing the net after chasing the ball is already very low.

What's more, even if he barely crossed the net, Fan Ju's racket had already stopped on the return line, and if he wanted to score in Fan Ju's service game, Yuzhny obviously used this quality of service to be far from enough.

Sampras had weaknesses back then, as long as he dragged the ball king to the bottom line, his backhand was not fatal enough The weakness will be exposed, although Fan Ju's technique is not mature enough, but there is no obvious weakness.

Although the forehand has been strengthened with different techniques and playing styles, the backhand has also maintained a high return efficiency.

Yuzhny made a difficulty, and Fan Ju once again followed the net with a straight shot, and as long as the first shot successfully entered the boundary, Fan Ju's action at the net with the ball was so fast that it was difficult for him to make a choice.

And Fan Ju has often relied on the advantage of accurately intercepting a shot, creating an excellent opportunity to slap and kill before Zào goes out of the net.

And Yuzni's lack of response made Fan Ju's serve less and less threatening, which is why Fan Ju will relax the opponent's service pressing.

"It's almost now, others are the distribution body, I am the distribution ability, even if the opponent is easy to play, as long as you don't win, you can't take it lightly, the Grand Slam competition is really the biggest obstacle to your peak road!" The more Fan Ju participates in the Grand Slam, the more he can't help but complain.

Whether it is a shorter competition format or a longer double speed of Fan Ju, it can make Fan Ju win the game more smoothly.

However, after becoming a best-of-3 set, the limited use of double speed had to make Fan Ju think more about it in the game.

“OUT！”

Yuzhny served, but when he was about to suppress the baseline again, he found that the return ball he had just received in his hand was different! It was completely unexpected, there was a mistake in the force, and the return ball, which needed to be accurately controlled, was hit out of the boundary.

"It may be that the hair extensions have added strength, and I will be a little more controllable later."

Younis didn't know what was going on, just a normal return error, but he was a little more careful before serving the second time.

But it's too late! Fan Ju stared at the opponent's serve, his body quickly leaned down sideways to "lie down", his pace changed from a horse step to a lunge in an instant, and the forehand was forced, and the ball flew to the opponent's opposite corner in an accurate arc!

“30:0”

Fan Ju quickly restored his balance from the horse step, looking at the opponent who was standing in place and had not moved, at 2 times the speed, he did not dare to say that he was invincible, but he was an opponent that no one wanted to meet! (To be continued......)
