Swinging the racket, you feel the solidity of the ball hitting the racket, the quality of the blow, the precision and strength, the ball crosses a straight arc, and the speed gravity makes you feel that time has become still in that moment.

“30:40”

The referee's voice made time flow again, and Fan Ju took a deep breath, twelve beats, a full twelve beats of high-quality response, and finally snatched back a point.

In the cheers of the home field, Filippo's fighting will was tenacious and terrifying, seizing the opportunity to beat Fan Ju to the death, a few mistakes, let Fan Ju fall to the bottom again, the score was only 3:2, at this time it was too early to attack, at least in Fan Ju's opinion, it was too early.

But his opponent didn't care about this, when he took the lead in Fan Ju's service game, it was followed by a thrilling Bo ball, a sudden change of line that was very likely to go to the net, followed by a fast big slash half-volley, without hesitation and pause, completely breaking through Fan Ju's defense.

With a 2-goal lead, Fan Ju could no longer be silent, and the return ball after a strong serve was suppressed and scored directly, and finally moved back to one point.

But God did not wish it, Filippo did not intend to give up any opportunity today, and another strong attack of the serve, with the help of the second serve of Fan Ju's low quality, won another point and took the lead to get the break point.

Fan Ju felt the determination of his opponent, and even if he saved another point, his opponent who still had a break point in his hand would not give up this opportunity.

"Do you want to use it?" Fan Ju stood at the service line with a slight hesitation and triple speed. He didn't want to use it so quickly.

Filippo waited for Fan Ju in small steps, he did not rush to urge, and looked very gentlemanly. But the referee will not let one side delay, Fan Ju saw the referee holding the microphone and raising his arm, and knew that he would not be able to serve again.

"Wait a little longer......" Fan Ju wanted to save this triple speed for a more critical moment, even if it was not a break, it was the winner of the game.

Just recovering a break point is a bit too petty.

"Win on serve!" Fan Ju glanced at his opponent's position and decided to use the speedball to take the advantage again.

The first-serve goal rate from the opening was not high enough. At only 45%, less than half the success rate, Filippo's serve is not strong. But he is very good at catching Fan Ju's second serve, which makes Fan Ju's score on the second serve very low, and also makes his service game more dangerous.

Raise the racket to serve, without hesitation and stagnation. Fan Ju's movements are smooth and natural. This is a serve that has been tempered thousands of times, and any stagnation and hesitation will cause a mistake in the serve.

Therefore, when serving, as long as you hit out hard according to the predetermined direction of the body, this is the real key to serve, let go of distractions and concentrate on it......

“OUT！”

It was so close, almost on the sideline, that even Filippo couldn't help but step forward and glance at the ball mark before relieving himself, this serve was very fast. The landing point is also deep, with a beautiful serve that deflects towards the outside corner. Provided that it is not out of bounds......

"Phew! Unlucky ...... "Blame hesitation? He didn't get distracted with this ball, the ball was very beautiful and the technique was complete, and he controlled the landing point well at double speed, but it was only very good.

A slight imperfection allowed the 210-kilometre serve to slip out of bounds by a fraction of a second, and Fan had to challenge for a second serve again, which was not a good thing, as he had already seen Filippo eager to fight back, and he had also heard scattered harassment and cheering for his opponent from the sidelines.

"No...... Calm down. Fan Ju once again reminded himself that the second serve is very crucial, and he can't make mistakes or mistakes, otherwise he will lose the serve game with a double service error, which is more confident than being directly hit by the opponent to receive the serve and score directly.

The action of throwing the ball is very light, the ball does not fly high, and the power action of Fan Ju is also very light, and the ball speed is very low, 160 kilometers, maybe a little bit worse.

Speed was not important at this point, the landing point was too positive, Filippo easily cushioned back with a backhand, his body was very stable, there was no violent movement when receiving a fast ball, and he quickly returned to the halfway line, waiting for Fan Ju's next return.

The ball speed is very fast, Fan Ju's movements are not slow, and he was relieved to see the backhand ball Fan Ju, the opponent is the same as him to take a SLR, in the mainstream tennis world, the use of SLR is not the majority.

The technical requirements and stability requirements are higher, Fan Ju is because of the strength is enough, and he is also suitable for SLR, while Filippo did not use a one-handed backhand backhand in the early days, but chose SLR technology under the correction of the coach according to his characteristics.

Combined with his fast running and light body, Filippo uses a DSLR to give him a wider range of attack options, which makes up for his lack of strength and also increases his range of attacks.

Lack of concealment and power are a few of the shortcomings, the return is not fast, and the direction is obvious.

Moving quickly to the right, Fan Ju was sure that he had caught the direction of his opponent's swing and would have an advantage in landing early, and there was no doubt that Fan Ju was ready for a forehand volley to give his opponent a taste of what a powerful forehand shot is.

The powerful and heavy hitting, with a strong topspin, the power in the shot is strong and the spin is stronger, Fan Ju as always with a strong force of heavy blows, as if to penetrate the opponent and the baffle behind him!

"Good...... Here it comes. Filippo silently thought in his heart, as if he had known it for a long time, observing his position, the bottom line was closer to the left, which was exactly the direction where Fan Ju chose to return the ball!

Forehand, Filippo's forehand intercepted Fan Ju's powerful blow in an instant, and the whole body once again concentrated its power on the racket, and the body almost jumped into the air with the racket.

He didn't lose his center, his racket had already hit the incoming ball the moment he bounced his power, and jumping up was just the stamina to concentrate his strength, and the power that had not yet been transferred to the tennis ball at the moment of returning the ball was all transferred to his feet, making him jump from the ground like an antelope!

"So fast!"

Fan Ju didn't have time to react, he couldn't believe that he hit the ball with such a "perfect" force, and was actually hit back by the opponent in a straight line, almost in an instant he started, but it was already a step too late!

"It's a pity ......!" The only few Chinese spectators in the stands lamented that the ball barely caught up, but it smashed directly on the frame, and it can even be said that the ball could be saved even if it was only 0.1 seconds faster, but it was just a little bit worse, and it was completely different.

“4:2”

Breaking serve without the first break point, but Filippo did it on the second ball, Fan Ju's forehand shot was heavy and threatening, he was taking a risk in doing so, but the game often requires some risk-taking, otherwise how to beat the strong with the weak, and the result of the match is predetermined according to the strength and script, isn't it boring?

"There's still a chance, as long as you break it, it's no problem." Fan Ju was very dissatisfied with the table of the ball just now, he hesitated before starting, the opponent's line change was too sudden, and he didn't even have time to react immediately at double speed.

But he didn't get frustrated, just like he thought, too early, the opponent showed his desire to attack too early, and completed the break too early, if the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, this can make the opponent give up faster and save body to end the game quickly.

But Fan Ju will not admit defeat lightly, and he also thinks that he has the strength to give his opponent a break!

According to this rhythm, there are still 3 rounds of games, he has a chance to play two rounds, Fan Ju knows very well what he needs to do, the sluggish state cannot bury his desire to win, he wants to win, even if he is still lying on the hospital bed with a hanging needle one moment, he must win the next moment on the court!

"I can't rest assured yet......"

The momentum is very good, his eyes are sharp, and Filippo also feels the fighting spirit of his opponent, and he is also cheering himself up when he looks at his opponent.

The momentum of the two collided in one place, and the competition on the court became more exciting, the power to hit the ball was fast and powerful, Fan Ju was high spin and strong flat pumping, and the technique he learned from his opponent has gradually become an important part of his baseline tactics.

Filippo is playing with the strength of his whole body, as long as he catches the opportunity, it is a powerful forehand with full body power, hidden and effective, and it is difficult to predict the direction of the next shot.

It is difficult to predict the direction of the ball in double speed, and as long as the opponent catches the offensive opportunity in the forehand position, the running position is almost passive.

Being suppressed, Fan Ju felt more and more passive, and Filippo knew his intentions, and tactically preferred to reduce active points, but also to suppress his play steadily in the service game.

"Damn ......"

The round is very long, Fan Ju is very tired, this tiredness is more mental than physical, he once again fell into the point where he couldn't find a way to suppress his opponent, this time it was not the former world TOP50, the opponent was not even TOP100, but Fan Ju found himself powerless.

He didn't want to explain the situation in terms of low tide, he knew he wasn't really a clay player yet, or rather, clay was for him, but he hadn't learned to adapt to clay yet.

The ball game is the same as the story, there are highs (tides) and lows, but the highs (tides) of Fan Ju and Filippo came very early, in the middle of the first set, the two began to show their own housekeeping skills, Fan Ju wanted to break serve, and Filippo wanted to defend his own serve.

"Huh~......"

Filippo's serve also occasionally hit a nice landing point, and the sound of the ball slicing through the air was so soft that Fan Ju heard the sound and saw the ball, but his body didn't quite keep up.

The consciousness ball came, and he also entered the double speed, and the racket intercepted the position, but the action of the force was a beat slower.

Rare, but not impossible, Fan Ju watched his key ball return out of bounds, the score changed from a tie to the opponent taking the lead, in this service game, the two have been entangled for more than 3 balls, seeing that the score is tied again, but the return ball went out of bounds, which made Fan Ju want to drop the racket in frustration.

"Calm, calm, can't mess around, there's still a chance, you have to put pressure on your opponent!" Endured the action of the racket, Fan Ju, like the other players, began to walk silently to the caddie holding the towel, he knew that he must not mess up! (To be continued......)
