Chapter 262: The highest in tennis

"How tall is that? It's about the same as Isner, right? Fan Ju looked at the opponent walking towards the arena in front of him, that height, even he needed to look up!

Compared with the thrilling doubles event, Fan Ju's singles match does not have to worry too much before the semi-finals, that is, the fourth round, it is not that Fan Ju is underestimated, but it seems that Fan Ju is the most stable and the most powerful one in the same group of players on the court.

After starting the event in Shanghai, Fan Ju gradually understood why the players gradually did not compete according to the characteristics of their opponents after they were ranked.

Just like the current Fan Ju, unless you really meet those top-level opponents, you basically arrange them at your own pace on the field.

A few rounds of normal state, a few rounds of double speed state, and then a little small burst of break, not to mention the savings of double speed, and the scene will not be ugly.

The first two rounds of singles Fan Ju were beaten like this, and the suppressive score also means that Fan Ju's current strength is still much higher than his ranking.

"Croatian giant, this Ivokalovic nickname is really not blown." Fan Ju found it interesting that he had a friend who was very similar to this player.

With a height of 208 and a weight of 97 kilograms, he has a very tall body and weighs ten kilograms heavier than Fan Ju, but considering that Karlovich's height is 34 centimeters taller than Fan Ju, from Fan Ju's side, the opponent's whole person is like a tall and thin bamboo pole, with slender hands and feet, and it is impossible to see where the strong muscles are.

"Ball machine?" Fan Ju weighed his opponent, he was not afraid of losing. He has seen a lot of serve-type players, and he knows very well what their lethal weapons are.

In terms of the threat generated by the serve, Roddick's serve was actually restrained by Fan Ju. Without a strong forehand press, Roddick would have lost in Fan Ju's hands on serve alone.

Because of Roddick's most feared hair extension ability, if you look for a similar player in the tennis world, then Federer's super judgment is very similar to Agassi's hair extension ability.

So Roddick has won more than lost against these players, and this time the triple title certainly shows his strong serve and forehand, but in the eyes of true professional tennis critics. David Nalbandian, who eliminated Federer's biggest enemy for him, is definitely a great credit.

Roddick refused to admit defeat even if he died, believing that he had already defeated Federer. So he is no longer afraid of him, it is purely for him to comfort himself.

As long as his backhand is still flawed, the fact that a well-rounded player like Federer can restrain him in terms of style of play and ability is really hard to change.

Fan Ju is clear. Because he and Federer's style of play is actually in the same genre. However, as the technology matures, it will be more biased towards rotation and power rather than precision.

The style of play tends to gradually penetrate from the bottom line to the front of the net, and the strength is comprehensively improved, that is, the bottom line safety in the opponent's service game is maintained, and at the same time, the opponent is caught off guard by using the net in front of the net at all times in his own service game.

Walking into the arena, it seems that there are more people watching the game than in the previous two days. However, Fan Ju knew that most of them were on public-funded tickets. There are very few people who really understand tennis and buy their own tickets to watch the game.

With a wave of his hand, the audience responded with warm applause, which was much worse than the blank expression on Kalovich's face when he entered the arena before.

Compared with Karlovich, he has leaked his face many times on the news, and the first two rounds of Fan Ju, which was also broadcast live, are of course more known, at least the words of Chinese player Fan Ju can be supported without any reason in this land.

Shanghai is still very hot at the end of September, and compared to New York, which is further north in latitude, there are still hot temperatures of nearly 30 degrees these days.

Competing in such a temperature is definitely a test, and as far as Fan Ju knows, how many players have withdrawn and exited the game early because they are not adaptable.

Eliminated the French No. 2 seed who eliminated Zeng Shaodi, only played one game in the second round, and then retired due to injury, Fan Ju also joked with Zeng Shaodigo when he saw this news, if you hold on a little longer, it will be you who can't make the cut.

However, when the heat wave hits, even Fan Ju, who is very accustomed to outdoor activities, feels unbearable, especially in high-intensity competitions, and sportswear can be soaked with two.

"Karlovic serves, warm-up begins." The referee tosses a coin, bends down to confirm it, and extends his finger representing the serve to his opponent.

Fan Ju was very close, so when he saw Karlovich seeing the result, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, obviously very satisfied with the result, and the first serve was a wonderful thing for a service player like him.

"I'll make you proud for a while." Fan Ju didn't care, he was thinking about tonight's doubles, why was he thinking about the night's match now, this was not at all in line with Fan Ju's style in front of him.

But Fan Ju can't help but think about it, if you want to say a coincidence, it's really a coincidence, but for players who are in the same group in doubles and singles, Fan Ju met Karlovic at the same time in singles and doubles, but he was already doomed.

In the morning, Fan Ju vs. Karlovich singles, and at 4 p.m., Fan Ju and Zeng Shaohui played against Karlovic and partner Brown.

is still a temporary combination of Croatia and Argentina across continents, but Fan Ju has to consider a problem, he has no problem facing Karlovic's serve, so what about Zeng Shaodi?

Serve and hair extensions are rotated, which means that it is impossible for all the work to be undertaken by Fan Ju alone on the court.

The previous two sets of doubles opponents were not strong, and there were problems with the power of the serve and the extension, but it was not big.

The reason why the Chinese Tennis Association will assign Zeng Shaohui to become Fan Ju's partner is not for nothing, at least in the serve, Zeng Shaozhui's speed can reach more than 190 kilometers, although not every ball can be done, but it is enough to deal with doubles such a game that only needs to be suppressed.

However, in terms of hair extensions, it is never solved by simply exercising strength, at least in the face of the standard of Fan Ju, Zeng Shaodi's endurance is a little worse.

Fan Ju is not a player who eats entirely on serve, but the Croatian elder on the opposite side is a whopping 26 aces in the first game in Shanghai and 15 in the second game.

Even if it is only the least calculated, in the game against Zeng Shaodi, Fan Ju must at least consider the opponent's serve and take away the score of the entire two games directly from Zeng Shaodi!

Not afraid of people is more afraid of money than people, Roddick's serve is fast and powerful, but the ace ball is far less than this one.

As for the reason, it's actually very simple, Roddick takes the ace ball in a head-to-head match, and you can receive such a serve, but you may not hit it back.

However, the serve of these long people is a large angle and deep landing point, and even if he can't jump on the same serve, he has an extra height of 50 centimeters than Fan Ju.

Don't think it's just about height, don't forget about the length of your arms, and the extremely high point of impact, which allows them to hit a serve with a deeper landing angle and a more lethal speed after bouncing.

Like a triangle, the higher the height of the right-angled side, the shorter the length of the bottom edge and the hypotenuse, and the long man can use the triangle theory of the serve to the extreme, without the steely arm muscles of Roddick, and can also play a fast serve of more than 220 kilometers.

Karlovic swings the volleyball, and the recoil of his body rushing forward is very small, and the whole body is easy to stabilize in the moment after serving, as if the serve of more than 207 kilometers just played just now is just picking up a stone thrown into the pond.

207 kilometers, this is basically the limit of Fan Ju's current stable serve, but this is just a casual hit of the opponent's serve, and the angle is very small, but Fan Ju has to stand a big step outside the service line to receive the serve.

It's not that the speed is so fast that Fan Ju doesn't have time to intercept, but according to Fan Ju's experience, if you stand on the service line to catch the ball, the height of the bounce can definitely hit your head.

However, the rules of the serve mean that Fan Ju cannot enter the baseline to receive the ball before the opponent serves, which can only make Fan Ju retreat out of bounds, waiting for the height to be lowered to get a more comfortable swing position.

Karlovich, who was long and long-handed, received Fan Ju's soft return with ease, and he had his own style of play on serve, which in the past seemed to be the best option for a serving player.

"Serve to the net...... But is it really good to surf the Internet so slowly? Fan Ju couldn't help but muttered in his mind as he ran, of course, he wouldn't say that he was envious of his opponent's long legs, and he stepped out of the position he needed two steps to reach in just one step.

A backhand oblique shot, Karlovich's net is not too strong to suppress, but Fan Ju has no choice, the angle is too large to restrict his return line to only one option!

Head-on with the opponent returning the ball, Karlovic was startled by the backhand slash pulled by Fan Ju, and the racket hurriedly blocked it, if it couldn't be stopped, the ball would probably fall on his body.

Although it doesn't hurt too much to be hit by the return ball, it means that you lose points, even if you react quickly, you will subconsciously panic in the face of this kind of chasing ball, and this chaos will change every second on the court, which is a fatal problem.

Karlovic was too close to the net, his long legs allowed him to complete the net too easily, Fan Ju's chase left him with no room to adjust, the racket could not complete the bottom-up lift, and there was not enough height for the ball to pass the net in front of him.

"It's not always a good thing to be too long, and it can be a burden when you need flexible changes!" Fan Ju smiled, whether it was envy or hatred, but this was a good start. (To be continued......)
