Chapter 239: Roddick's Straight Punch
No player would give up, and with such an opportunity in front of him, Roddick half-crouched close to the net, his movements were accumulating power for his forehand, and he was also watching the direction of Fan's next shot.
Swing the racket! Fan Ju caught Roddick's swing, but it was still only a backhand cushion, not only did this ball not alleviate his crisis, on the contrary, Roddick had already raised the racket high!
"Still suppressed......"
Heavy pressure smash, after the ball hit the bottom line, it flew directly into the audience, Fan Ju did not have any chance, even if he judged the right direction, there was still no chance to save the ball.
It seems to be a pair of shots that don't give in to each other, but Fan Ju has always been suppressed by his opponent from the beginning, and the effect of the first forehand after serving is far greater than that 221-kilometer serve!
The applause was thunderous, but this time it was given to Roddick, home advantage, high popularity, Roddick at home will undoubtedly get more cheers and applause.
The audience will treat Fan Ju fairly and applaud Fan Ju's wonderful performance, but the heartfelt cheers always only appear at the moment when the opponent's wonderful performance is Xiàn.
"No, you have to continue, you can't relax......" Fan Ju kept reminding himself that in the face of opponents of this level, all he could do was hold on and wait.
Opportunities are not impossible, and Roddick cannot be perfect from start to finish, but waiting requires patience and enough strength.
"It's coming!" The 217-kilometer wide diagonal serve is significantly more powerful than the previous fast but angleless serve.
However, Fan Ju's double speed is not slow to respond. In a word, even in the outside corner, Roddick's outside corner serve is not deep.
A quick scoop up. Roddick was also taken aback by Fan Ju's movements, the speed was faster than before, the landing point almost pressed the angle raised by Roddick's racket, and the return ball was very tricky, and the quality was so high that it was difficult for Roddick to handle.
It's not that he can't play back, it's that he doesn't have enough angles to play back, and Roddick doesn't play completely rough. His coaching staff laid out a clear strategy, and if the attack does not work, then he must not hesitate to attack the backhand position of Fan Ju.
Roddick isn't a master of layout like Nalbandian. For him, the simpler the tactic, the more effective the execution, and the first goal, the opponent's successful service is not surprising. Second ball. still played beautiful hair extensions, which made Roddick realize more clearly the strength of Fan Ju's hair extensions, I am afraid it is beyond his previous imagination!
In the hasty forehand position, Fan Ju was happy when he saw Roddick's counterattack, and the return position just fell into his forehand, but this forehand was not easy to come by, and the moment of double speed and then re-extension, after Fan Ju let go of the control. It was directly increased to twice the speed.
Fan Ju expected it to rise, but he didn't expect it to be so much. Even if the support lasted for just 1 or 2 seconds, the extra speed consumption made Fan Ju have to try his best to produce results.
"Good time!" The gift delivered to the door cannot be bad, the body is depressed, almost like squatting.
It's not that Fan Ju has any new tricks, but because Roddick's return is very reluctant, and the arc is also very low, only with such a posture can Fan Ju play hard.
Roddick still stood in his original position, Fan Ju's return shot once again made him unable to judge the direction of the shot, Roddick has a great flaw in the technique of anticipation, which makes him unable to grasp the correct direction unless he takes the initiative.
When an opponent takes a chance, especially after a mistake, delay and hesitation can cost him precious opportunities.
A moment's loss would have lost the score, and Fan Ju's powerful shot focused on the baseline, and Roddick once again didn't even move a step.
“15:15”
Roddick, who wiped his sweat with his back, moved his shoulders unhappily, and almost all two serves were hit back by the opponent, which was a great unhappiness for him, although these two serves were not his full strength, and the speed may be up to standard, but in terms of power, it is still too far behind.
But this is a high-quality and high-speed shot after all, and being hit back with such a light yì is "hurting self-esteem".
"It's good, I didn't expect Fan Ju to be able to play such a beautiful ball, although it was good to play before, but it was too fierce, as if it was going to eat people, today it looks like dancing, and it is much more ornamental." Rembrandt looked at Fan Ju's watch and commented, he couldn't say anything specific, but he just felt that it looked a little familiar.
Dance? It's really dancing, Fan Ju knows very well that he has a flaw, but he can't make it up right away, so what is the fastest way to deal with Roddick?
From the beginning of human beings, they have known to imitate, imitate those successful examples, and learn those things that have been proven correct by their predecessors.
Why could have played a few more rounds of balls, but they were misjudged?
"I didn't expect Federer's style of play to really restrain Roddick, but unfortunately in some key technologies, if you want to imitate Federer, you have to use twice the speed, the cost is too big and not cost-effective!" Fan Ju felt a little regretful, or said that the opponent he valued was really a talent.
Imitating Federer, that's exactly what Fan Ju was doing after the opening, of course, this is not exactly copying Federer's style of play, but just learning from Federer's tactics in the past against Roddick's attacks.
Obviously, the media's judgment was absolutely wrong, Federer was not only able to restrain Roddick, but also to restrain it unclearly, even if Fan Ju was downgraded by one level, he also took advantage of Roddick's serve in the opening game.
It's not much, but it has already made Fan Ju very satisfied, at least he knows Roddick's shortcomings, and at the same time, he can effectively target these shortcomings and use bigger tactics.
It may not take long for Roddick to get used to Fanju's game, but this is not a critical issue, and finding a glimmer of life in the already slim chance is definitely a good gain for Fanju, who is already hopeless about this victory.
Roddick couldn't see that Fan Ju had learned from his worst enemy, Federer, after all, he hadn't played against Fan Ju, but he felt that Fan Ju was more difficult and troublesome than his friends and coaches had said.
"It's a nasty feeling!" Roddick was silent, but he still wouldn't compromise on his serve, even if Federer was standing across from him, and he was confident swinging his racket.
The speed of the first shot was still so incredible, and Roddick didn't push his limits, nor did he hit any amazing angles.
However, Fan Ju's serve made Fan Ju reluctantly backhand, but Roddick was directly lurking on the bottom line at this time, just like his posture just now.
From half-squatting to exerting force, like a fierce tiger, Roddick's hitting made Fan Ju can't help but think of this animal, very domineering, very powerful, even if it is a forehand attack, but it is inevitable to be thrown to the ground by the tiger!
"It's still not enough, how much does this guy's bench press weigh!" The net belt is always uncomfortable, and when you receive the ball, you have to get past its interception first.
Diligent in training strength, Fan Ju feels that he is diligent enough, but there are always some guys in the tennis world who are even more perverted (perverted) than him, such as Roddick in front of him, Fan Ju estimated that his strength was trained to the limit and he could barely keep up with Roddick's standards.
As for the other pervert, or the future pervert (metamorphosis), who can use his arm as a thigh at the age of 17, Fan Ju no longer compares, and feels that comparing it also hurts his self-esteem.
After all, tennis is not a full power sport, even if the strength is strong and there is no control of the ball, it is useless, but as a sport that needs to be exercised to the whole body and rely on the arms to exert force, strength is an indispensable and important factor.
The development of rackets has made it more and more advantageous for power players to take advantage of the fact that they will spin the ball more and the power will be better transmitted by the racket.
Just like Roddick just seems to have a forehand that uses force, Fan Ju also catches it with his forehand, but the power that is directly transmitted between the racket and the ball is completely transmitted to Fan Ju's racket.
This makes it difficult for Fan Ju to return the ball under heavy pressure, even if he improves his strength, it is difficult to hit the return ball over the net under heavy pressure, if in table tennis, this kind of ball is called unsolvable cutting, unless you directly cushion the ball into the air and give up the right to attack, otherwise it is unsolvable.
On tennis, spin is not as fully conveyed as table tennis, but it has the same effect.
Roddick didn't score directly, but did suppress Fanju's forehand, and Roddick had his pride, even if it violated the coach's arrangement.
He could have changed a little angle to hit the opponent's forehand with the ball just now, but Roddick didn't do it, but directly provoked Fan Ju and exerted his strength in the direction of expropriation without hesitation.
It turned out that he won, at least this one, which gave him confidence, and also gave Fan Ju a bad turn in the situation that he had managed to suppress.
Different from bowing his head and turning his shoulders just now, Roddick, who came back to his senses this time, had a very clear expression, he was such a character, he couldn't hide any dissatisfaction in his heart, and that big mouth caused him a lot of trouble, but he was such a character, outside the court, and even more so inside the court.
The heavy pressure serve in the center, without considering the angle at all, Fan Ju's backhand cushion stroke, couldn't pick up the ball at all, clean and neat, just two serves, Roddick has already won the game point.
"It's really not easy!" 210 kilometers, a face-to-face duel, Fan Ju has nothing to say, this ball is indeed very direct, like rushing up, punching directly in the face, without a word of nonsense.
Of course, Roddick's attack can't end like this, when his racket swings, it means another heavy blow! (To be continued......)
