Chapter 342: Don't let go
"It's always so bad, it's really unpleasant!" Fan Ju looked at it with a hard time, and the score was 40:40 but the opponent took the lead, winning the break game, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
5:3, like the remake of the previous set, but it was Roddick who took the lead, and Fan Ju faced his own serve and did not intend to lose, or rather, he is now standing on a counterattack point prepared for the next set like Roddick.
"Take the serve, then win the next set, and I'll keep your momentum down again." Against stubborn opponents, Fan Ju is even more determined, this is Fan Ju's style of play, the stronger the opponent, the more excited he is, if both sides are at the peak of form, then this match is destined to be unusual.
It's still a lot of net kickoffs, but Fan Ju boldly transferred Roddick directly to the net, he knows very well that this is his territory, no matter how many copies you take from here, it can't change this fact.
Roddick stopped back in front of the net and played a small angle, but Fan Ju easily aimed at the empty space behind him, and the same return ball in front of the net, but accurately hit the back, completing a successful duel in front of the net.
"Don't think it's that simple!" Jumping high, Roddick was once again tempted to the net by Fan Ju, but this time Fan Ju was in the second serve and passively fought back on the bottom line.
Fan Ju was very smart, he chose to pick up the ball, but Roddick was obviously ruthless, and no matter how high the ball was, he just jumped straight in front of the net.
"It's like a dunk, it's incredible." The commentator's evaluation describes Roddick's movements very objectively, and he does look like a basketball player. The racket is like a pair of hands, and the ball is directly snapped off the net.
At 30:30, Fan Ju saw the score. Seeing the opponent's table, the only evaluation is "trouble", Roddick at this time is definitely a big trouble, the second set is completely alive, Roddick's movements, swings, and even landing points have become completely different.
Fan Ju didn't even respond for a moment. In front of the net, maybe he grabbed a shot, and he could indeed give many hands a good look in front of the net. But what about other times?
Now all that can be fought is the high-quality serve, and Fan Ju has to use the serve to complete a serve to suppress before he has a chance to win the service game. Don't let your opponent get what you want.
Ball speed has been reduced. It can even be suppressed to less than 190 kilometers, and with a goal, Roddick's return seems normal, but Fan Ju also caught the initiative, using the reverse corner return ball that was used many times and did not fail, and then chased the net, forcing Roddick to make a wrong choice.
In the end, Fan Ju still relied on Roddick to return the ball out of bounds to end the game. The last two goals were resolved cleanly, but the middle was still full of twists and turns.
Intervals. The camera was temporarily removed from the players, and in the dimly lit stadium, many spectators took advantage of the time to stand up, not to move their bodies, but to make some cheers, for the players in front of them, for the game they loved.
"Want to wait for me to give up this plate? No way! "Fan Ju will not admit defeat, he will not use the violent move, he will face the opponent's serve head-on, whether it is to lose the set in front of him, or let him lose the match directly, he feels that if he does not do this, I am afraid that he will regret it.
Roddick calmed down a lot at this time, and the serve was more powerful, a serve, the pressure was very heavy, and let Fan Ju lose the control, and the return ball was slightly out of bounds, if pressed in bounds, this is definitely a beautiful return ball to the line.
But to be out is to be out of the way, there is no reason to shine, the opponent's serve is too strong, and he is too hard? Time cannot be turned back, and players must accept the reality in front of them.
The tsunami of applause and cheers for Roddick was definitely louder than the cheers he had when he won the first set.
"I also hope to have such a lively home stadium, but unfortunately it is not yet, so let's grab it!" Fan hesitated for less than 2 seconds, and his footsteps moved again with Roddick's serve.
Hair extension, Fan Ju's weapon, when the ball is in the position he wants, he can hit the ball where he wants.
And this time he chose the position in the middle of the front, yes, this is the landing point that lured Roddick to get close to the net again.
The cut racket made the return ball fall downward with the downspin force, and it also made Roddick's body not in the best state of controllable zhì after swinging the racket.
When Roddick hit Fan Ju's hair extension, but once again ushered in Fan Ju's small-angle return ball, the person had unconsciously come to the net, which was by no means his initiative to surf the Internet, but a choice made under the lure of Fan Ju.
"Welcome to my turf!" Penetrating the racket, Roddick's body center of gravity did not adjust at all, and this ball in front of the net was not prepared by the master at all.
Roddick may be able to make the occasional beautiful smash in front of the net, but he is not a player in front of the net after all, and he is not ready to fight naked in front of the net at any time like Fan Ju, and not every ball can be scored by luck.
The atmosphere on the field has been stirred up to a high (tide), and every ball will be greeted with applause and cheers from the audience, echoing in the ears unexpectedly making people feel comfortable, and the mood is inexplicably accompanied by excitement.
Another one! Roddick wanted to save face, and even took the initiative to go to the net for the second ball, perhaps he was also carried away by the atmosphere and forgot the lessons just now, as well as many times before.
Fan Ju sued Roddick with his return ball, get back to your bottom line! The same landing point, the same precise passage from the front of the racket, Roddick even more stupidly stood in the middle, put on a ready posture, but he didn't even judge the possible flight direction of the ball.
Fan Ju's actions are like suing everyone, go online! It's not as simple as they think.
Awakened? Perhaps, Roddick once again leveled the score between the two with his own serve, which is the way he should score.
However, Fan Ju knew that Roddick was not stupid, or that he thought a lot and was very impulsive, obviously he did not give up on the Internet, maybe he thought of it.
One shot, an additional forehand strike, and then online pressing!
The first two are Roddick's normal style of play, and the last one? Fan Ju felt that in addition to making himself uncomfortable, there was no practical effect, of course, this discomfort would also cause mistakes, Fan Ju chose a smart backcourt lob, but the problem is that his lob can never be accurate.
Without the soft feel that is characteristic of clay players, Fan Ju plays frontal fastballs more than slices, let alone these lobs, he knows how to use them, but often his opponents use them on himself.
What's more, it was a drop ball under Roddick's forehand shot, which was even more accurate.
In the end, Roddick's netting still played a role, but instead of using interception to score from Fan Ju, Fan Ju took the initiative to make mistakes and lose points.
Inventory, Roddick got his first inventory, his mentality suddenly relaxed, he began to think about how he should win this ball, whether to serve, or to take the initiative to score head-on, or to let Fan Ju make a mistake just now?
"This serve is too positive!"
It's not good to think too much, and even the commentary at the moment of serving can see that the problem is coming, it's too positive, and it just falls directly on Fan Ju's forehand, and he doesn't even have to do preparation and adjustment, so he comes directly to the forehand.
What else is there to say, hit! Fan Ju swung his racket hard, and then the power of the ball was added, he did not choose the two sides that were easy to go out of bounds, and then there should be a head-to-head duel.
Strength? Big, ball speed? Not slower than a serve, this ball is almost equal to a 190km serve, full of power, and it can be said that it is completely beyond the specifications of a normal forehand return.
"Oops!" Roddick has a strong forehand, but he can't go against the sky, Fan Ju is preparing for the hair extension when he faces head-to-head, but he has just finished serving at this time, and the catch seems to be in a hurry, after all, the time when the ball flies out of his hand, I'm afraid there is still more than 1 second.
He didn't choose to attack like Fan Ju's front, which may be his biggest mistake in this ball, subconsciously swinging towards Fan Ju's backhand line change, perhaps too fast ball speed, which simply does not allow him to choose other positions.
“OUT!” Off, no, should say out of bounds.
Deuce! This may have made Roddick's nerves tense involuntarily, he couldn't let Fan Ju get a chance to break, absolutely not, he subconsciously felt the crisis, even if he saved it twice in a row, it made him feel how much pressure the opponent who didn't serve on him.
"Be calm, play more bottom line attacks, his bottom line is not as strong as yours, you must suppress him, suppress him!" Roddick's mind was full of thoughts about holding down Fan Ju, and he was wary of his opponent, an opponent who had already been placed in the same level in his heart.
Fan Ju observed Roddick's choice, and after the game, Roddick's tactics never stabilized, which may be good news, because unstable tactics mean that the opponent is also unstable.
But this is also bad news, because Roddick changed, so that Fan Ju had to change with it, several points were lost, it can be said that Fan Ju made a careless mistake, or it can be said that Roddick changed immediately, allowing him to avoid Fan Ju's prepared attack.
Roddick changed, but Fan Ju was still in the dark, but this time Roddick did not become aggressive, but changed back to the original and started a bottom-line attack.
Forehand bottom line, Fan Ju is not as good as Roddick, under the tough forehand, if you want to attack the opponent's backhand, you can't do it, and you can only barely protect yourself when you increase to double the number, Fan Ju is very embarrassed, because he found that he gradually couldn't control the return of the ball!
Roddick gets ahead! Another change, but how could Fan Ju give up? Yes, he is not reconciled, even if in such a situation, he has to consume a higher multiplier, but it seems to be very worthwhile!
"The stronger you are, the sweeter the fruit will be when I win the game, just wait, this victory will be mine." (To be continued......)
