Chapter 378: The Time Has Come
With a low-handed save, Fan Ju was once again passive, and it was clear that Federer could not have let him go to win the first two sets, and he was in trouble at the beginning of the second set.
To be aggressive, Fan Ju can't back down, head-on, even if his ball fluctuates, but other aspects can't lose to the opponent.
Federer has the technical initiative, while Fan Ju is tactical and scored, his tactics are simpler, in the game is the ball plus the net, as long as he does not make mistakes, the opponent has nothing to do with himself.
Although the opponent's style of play is comprehensive and the tactics are more varied, but in fact, he can only win his own game, Federer knows very well that if he wants to make mistakes, he will have to consume more of his body, so that his game concentration will decrease, and there will be more mistakes, and he will grab the opportunity to score.
Fan Ju's scoring rate is very high, basically maintained at more than 7o%, facing some weaker opponents, and even able to go up to 8o%, which makes up for his weakness in the first goal rate, plus two scores, to ensure that he always exceeds 6o% in the overall scoring rate, ensuring the safety of the game.
Federer's first-scoring rate is certainly not low, and the second-scoring percentage is even stronger than Fanju, unless he encounters an unstoppable opponent, such as Fanju when he goes berserk.
Relying on his skills on the fast court, he can suppress most of the top professional players in tennis today, which is unparalleled and extremely rare among players in the past.
Usually all-round players either can't improve all their skills to the top level, or they have all kinds of weaknesses, but the opponent in front of him, Fan Ju, has to admit that this is an ordinary storage zĂ i, except for the lack of excellence on clay. He didn't win a Grand Slam, and he could hardly find any weaknesses that were too obvious in other areas.
"Weak backhand topspin? I guess whoever faces my strong spin ball won't have a very good look. If you don't believe me, try it for yourself. This is another interview with Fan Ju, the reporter asked Fan Ju about Federer's technology. Maybe this guy had some bad intentions and wanted to provoke something, but Fan Ju was not fooled at all and fought back directly.
The game continued, Fan Ju saved the ball and hung the net, and the score was reversed again, but unfortunately the successive two did not let Fan Ju catch the grasp of breaking the situation, and he had to face Federer's attack again, but it was difficult for him to say that he would not lose the second game.
Yes. At the beginning of the second set, in the second game, Fan Ju was broken, of course, this break was quite hard, and the two were entangled for 3 deuces before they were caught with a chance to two consecutive twos, which were broken by Federer.
However, after being broken, Fan Ju became more and more aggressive, and frequently threatened Federer's game with catching the ball at the net, but without high support, this impact appeared to be insufficient. It is true that the expression is very strong, but it does not have too obvious effect.
"I hope I can paralyze him, right?" Fan Ju looked at the game that was easily won by the opponent, and said silently in his heart. As soon as he was broken, he had already decided that this set would belong to his opponent, and he could save his strength for the next matches.
Of course, in order to ensure that there is still hope of a comeback, Fan Ju did not completely give up the attack, but in terms of taking the initiative to attack, if Federer did not show a weak posture, Fan Ju would not rashly use the double to attack the opponent.
It's more just to stay in an ordinary state, to impact the defense line, and let the opponent make some miscalculations, which is a small trick left by Fan Ju. Of course, even if Federer is not fooled, it will not affect his future games.
The game is not just about comparing the skills of both sides. It's a contest of psychology and intelligence, and the layout master will often leave some opportunities that seem good to the opponent. In fact, these are all traps, sacrificing nothing more than inconsequential non-critical points, but sometimes they can work wonders.
Of course, sometimes for some players, these arrangements will not have any effect, because they play their own tennis, to put it simply, winning or losing has nothing to do with the opponent, if you swing well, anyone can win, and if you don't swing well, you can send the key points to the opponent.
Federer is of course a smart and thinking player, and Fan Ju is also an old fox who does not lose to Federer, Fan Ju shows weakness Federer can see it clearly, but he is not fooled, just because he is broken, he shows weakness, which seems too deliberate to him.
Strategies are often not successful at the first time, Fan Ju continued to grind warmly until the end of the second set, and the sudden strong attack startled Federer, but before he could react, it appeared again, Fan Ju frequently made some mistakes, and gave away the opportunity to get his hands on it again.
"Could it be that he's really out of shape? Let's look at it again......" Federer muttered to himself, but there was no one around him to discuss and compare.
The only thing he can observe in front of him is his opponent, and the fan he knows will indeed be a player who explodes when he is behind, but at this time he lost the opportunity to equalize because of a mistake, which really makes him a little tempted.
Assault? Federer played steadily from the start, silently waiting for his chance, which allowed him to break at the start of the second set.
After the equaliser, how to play the third set is very crucial, and it is usually wise to continue to maintain a successful strategy to finish the match, but the opportunity is very clear at the moment.
Fan Ju needs Federer to change his strategy, otherwise for him, the only way to break Federer's offense is to use brute force to break it.
But how many times can Fan Ju go on a rampage after that? Even if the second set is reduced, the multiplier has been reduced by two-fifths.
This match, with the current situation, is likely to be a long match of five sets, but Fan Ju does not want to repeat the Australian Open experience, then it is inevitable to distribute the strength more evenly and not be beaten into a colander by the opponent.
Of course, before the start of this match, many media predicted that this would be a repeat of the Australian Open, but in fact it was completely different, Fan Ju played more like when facing Roddick, but the opponent was stronger and more comprehensive than Roddick, and the restraint of Fan Ju was more obvious.
"The two sides of the baseline were beaten a little hard, is this motivating me to run more?" At the beginning of the third set, Fan Ju sensed that Federer's attacking initiative had become stronger, but this change was not enough to show that his plan was successful.
It is likely that Federer wants to step up the attack, or finish the game faster, and not give himself a chance, after all, Federer's offensive will not interfere with his own rhythm, and Fan Ju will not be able to catch the gap and give himself the lead.
"I still can't be in a hurry." After estimating the shape, Fan Ju was ready to continue to endure it, of course, he didn't plan to give Federer another chance to break lightly, this time he must hold on, because only by withstanding the opponent's attack can he see the opportunity.
Federer was trying, Fan Ju was waiting, and in the third set, both of them were extremely patient, feeling Fan Ju's tepid attack, Federer was also more and more proactive in attack, which was a great test of Fan Ju's defensive ability.
However, unlike in the past, in the clay series, Fan Ju has exercised a strong enough defensive skill, and with the occasional reaction, Fan Ju finally did not lose points on a large scale in a row, which also made the situation even more confusing.
"He is worthy of being the king in front of the net, and he can't see any gaps at all." Although Fan Ju's reception was weaker, the ball game made Federer have to lament that Fan Ju was different from the past.
It has only been half a year from the Australian Open to Wimbledon, and it will make him feel completely like playing against two people, the two of them have made mistakes, although they are standing on the top stage of the world, they have never met.
This also allowed Federer to see the truly incredible thing about Fan Ju, who grew more than he was back then.
And this also gave Fan Ju time to avoid the strongest opponent and hone his skills, and the experience of fighting with masters in each major tournament allowed him to accumulate the capital to compete with Federer in this arena.
Perhaps the only regret is that this is not the final venue, and the title of the king of grass will take another game to decide.
Waiting is always rewarding, even Federer can't always maintain the stability of the whole court, and the instability of the ball or some techniques can be compensated for by other opponents, but he is facing Fan Ju, a top master who is already second only to him, and any simple mistakes and fluctuations will become the target of attack.
Federer 2, Fan Juxun stepped in front of the net, his body arched like a shrimp, the head of the racket was facing the ground, and the racket surface was slightly tilted upward, completely unloading the power of the incoming ball.
"I knew there was a problem." At this time, it was too late to say this, Federer hurriedly chased to the net to save the ball, but how could Fan Ju leave him a chance, this goal was not won It was a shame for him to wait so long.
The score is 3o:o, Fan Ju has already fought Federer's initiative mistake to get two points, and the game score has reached the key of 5:5, at this time the mistake undoubtedly made Fan Ju determine the instant attack, even if it will be strictly guarded by the opponent later, but the first to win a set is more important than anything else.
Federer's mistake is not irreparable, but the problem is that he met Fan Ju and met this unreasonable opponent.
The face changed slightly, Fan Ju decisively used the rampage, and it was undoubtedly the most cost-effective moment to win a set in the half game.
Federer returned the ball to the net, and Fan Ju cut the ball too deeply, almost as if it had fallen to the ground, not to mention that the hideous Fan Ju blocked in front of the net, and had no intention of saving him at all! (To be continued)
