Chapter 269: Don't be careless
"Strong, tall and strong!" Fan Ju has met many tall players, and most of them will maintain a relatively thin figure in order to ensure their ability to run on the field.
Phillipsis, however, was the strongest player he had ever seen over 195 centimeters.
196 cm, 107 kg, I still remember the tallest tennis player defeated by Fan Ju, 208 height, only 97 kg of weight, 10 cm less, but 10 kg more, this player will definitely not lack strength, and the power of the volley is completely imaginable.
Phillipsis, the favourite at Wimbledon this year, lost to Federer in the final, and many critics called him a player who has nothing but serve.
However, Fan Ju has seen the video footage of his opponent's matches, but he has to say that those critics are too harsh, and comparing Phillipsis with a well-rounded player like Federer will of course seem to have no merit at all.
But it was really this player who had no merits, but he eliminated many opponents to reach the final of Wimbledon, and regardless of the final result, you have to admit that Phillipsis is indeed not weak.
"It's another cannon, and the number of serving players in the tennis world is really a lot." During the warm-up, Phillipsis' serve reminded Fan Ju of many of the serve-type players he had encountered.
There are American rocket artillery, Romanian cannons, and Australian cannons in front of you, and the serve is really advantageous in the game, as long as there is no problem with the serve, you rarely need to spend too much effort on the hold of serve.
It's a pity...... When Fan Ju saw his opponent's other techniques, he couldn't hide the regret in his heart. Phillipsis was in good condition, but except for his serve and power, his skills were too rough.
There are strengths and bright spots. But the shortcomings are brighter and more dazzling, in Fan Ju's simulation, almost always after breaking the opponent's serve, the opponent loses the ability to counterattack.
"But we'll have to see how the game goes." Fan Ju was not in a hurry, this was the final, it was his first tour final, and the stadium was almost full of 80% of the spectators. No matter where their votes come from, everyone is now looking forward to winning on the field.
No hurry...... This is Fan Ju's tactic in this game, and he is not in a hurry to make his opponent panic. Phillipsis' serve gives him the ability to stabilize the game, and his seemingly rough technique, but once he doesn't care about it, you can't guarantee that he won't be able to play a good and strong counter-attack.
Once too much is wasted, double the speed. Fan Ju's breaking advantage is exhausted. So how to find opportunities in the opponent's service game has become the biggest problem.
You have to be careful of the rough traps of this kind of player, just like against Roddick, which seems simple, but so violent and untactical. But it's like a qiē tactic.
This is the basis for them to win, and Fan Ju's style can't fight with them. It is better to fight the strong with the weak, Fan Ju has its own advantages, and it has its own choice to win.
"Game on!"
Fan Ju got the serve, and before the court started, the sound of "swish" flash shooting was lit up again, and the referee took the initiative to stop the noisy sound on the court without Fan Ju's opinion.
Obviously, after so many games, the referees have become accustomed to the "enthusiasm" of these spectators, and even used Chinese shouting, and after a while, there was no more interference in the venue, and the final that decided the outcome officially began!
A strong serve, Fan Ju is not bad, of course, Fan Ju's serve is difficult to do every time at extremely high speed, holding down the point of the score.
The midline serve in the inside corner and the outside corner are deep enough for the opponent to fly off the court, these are the tricks of those who serve, and they are also big players who play aces and direct scores.
Ensure speed, but do not indiscriminately, this is the current Fan Ju on the court consistent serving strategy, of course, the serve feels better, Fan Ju will also use a few consecutive excellent points of the serve, the opponent has nothing to say.
But most of the time, it is still a little conservative, as long as the serve is suppressed, you can rely on your more effective follow-up attack to score.
Phillipsis has thick arms, and Fan Ju is the heavier type in tennis, but he can rely on a one-handed backhand and pull it back.
Homeopathic to the net, Fan Ju's actions are very in line with his tactics of facing strong opponents on the high-speed court, he will not hesitate in the backcourt, take the initiative to attack and score, and he has more advantages in front of the net.
"What?" Before rushing to the net, Fan Ju felt that he was blocking the line of his opponent's return ball, and Phillipsis was a rough opponent, and Fan Ju thought that just a small angle of blocking the straight line and side hypotenuse would be enough.
As for the higher difficulty, the need for a finer large angle, Fan Ju didn't consider it at all, he used the ball with the front racket to pad out the net instantly with a lot of topspin, if it is a light swing that needs to be controlled, it is very easy to appear in the feel, fatal misjudgment.
But he overlooked one point, Phillipsis is rough, fine ball control is really not his forte, but he has the power, no matter how strong the spin on the ball is, in the face of strong violent volleys, will it still work?
There is still such a big stride away from Fan Ju stretching out his racket, even if he drives at double speed, he can't catch the distance, Phillipsis gave Fan Ju a kick after the opening, not so much crossing, but rather not taking Fan Ju who came to the net in his eyes at all, and it is more appropriate to play a large-angle diagonal attack by himself.
"I didn't expect it, ah......" Fan Ju was stunned, he only thought when he designed the return of the ball, he only thought that the opponent might want to play a control zhì crossing, but he ignored the opponent's violent and unscrupulous swing.
As long as Fan Ju's blocking position moves one step to the left, then this ball is enough to intercept as long as he stretches out the racket, but this step is missing, and even the master who intercepts in front of the net can't save this ball.
It was a bit quiet on the pitch, obviously the crowd didn't know if they should applaud the ball, and although the ball was violent, it had to be said to be a beautiful counterattack.
Philipposis didn't care, he was ready to play away, this is Fan Ju's home stadium, but he didn't care, Fan Ju's matches he studied, especially against his Wimbledon opponent Federer a few months ago.
The first set was impressive, but the rest of the match was a bit unremarkable, and of course the strength of the game between Wimbledon and the US Open improved, but there was undoubtedly only one thing for Phillipsis on the court, and that was to hit the ball back!
One miss, Fan Ju looked at the opponent's position, and the second shot used a topspin slow ball, the ball speed was not fast, but it pressed the corner, and the height of the bounce drew an arch in the air, and the highest height even exceeded the top of the opponent's head.
This ball is very dangerous, and it is very likely to make a double error, but Fan Ju is not in a hurry, what he wants is to suppress the opponent technically, if he can't be fast on the serve, he must do Diao, so that the opponent's rough technique can play the greatest "effect".
“YES! Sure enough, it's still that rough brother, and there will be problems even in positioning. Fan raised his hands and clenched his fists and secretly exclaimed.
The tricky serve, forcing Phillipsis's backhand to return, can only be hit back with a slash, which can give Fan Ju a chance, especially after the opponent actually returned the ball in such a low-quality slow manner, he did not immediately return to the middle, and was easily pulled out of a powerful straight line by Fan Ju with his forehand in place.
The opponent has no intention of chasing the ball at all, obviously giving up directly when he receives the serve, Fan Ju knows very well that this is the opponent's style of play, he likes to hit hard, but he does not have the ability to move with his feet and fine tactics.
Definitely not going head-to-head with the opponent, the first ball Phillipsis showed his ability to volley, even if the accuracy is not top-notch, but the power suppression has definitely reached that level.
Even if Fan Ju's forehand is not completely placed, it may not be able to please him, let alone his backhand, if the opponent catches such an opportunity in the service game, it will definitely not be his side that has the advantage.
Fan Ju continued his first service game, and the successive serve finally paid off, and Phillipsis did not have an advantage in the extension, and even if he was tall and strong, he would inevitably show his sluggish side.
Seizing the opportunity, although Fan Ju played a second serve, he cleverly seized the opportunity to the net, and Phillipsis's return ball was not as sharp as the first ball, and it was directly sent to Fan Ju's side slope.
Fan Ju's net has always missed and not let go, I really can't help it if you play well, but once you fall into my range, then I have to say I'm sorry!
There was no suspense in the score of the first game at 40:15, and Fan Ju considered whether to drag the opponent's body, of course, this was based on tactical delays, not deliberately to send the ball to the opponent.
The tough choice to play a more tricky second serve, even if it is a mistake, the second serve speed reduction must definitely be pressed on the line change, Fan Ju has been implementing this tactic from the opening serve, although the guide zhì has a slightly more mistake, but in the result, it is very good to gain an advantage in the second serve.
It was obvious in a few rounds, except for the first ball, the other balls did not give the opponent a chance to catch the momentum, and the more he reluctantly returned the ball in the run, the more obvious Phillipsis's shortcomings became.
Compared with the opponent's need to run and attack on the baseline, Fan Ju actively has no requirements in terms of accuracy in front of the net, and the suppressive force in front of the net is also clearer, showing his all-round serve and net player side in the game.
"Damn!" Fan Ju raised the racket high and scolded loudly in his heart, as soon as the opponent went out of bounds, he was still immersed in the residual warmth of the previous game and did not ease up.
At the moment of the second serve, Fan Ju realized that something was wrong, but the backhand was swung out, but the angle was ridiculously off, and the ball flew directly into the sky, and he was beaten like this by a second serve, he was embarrassed and embarrassed. (To be continued......)
