Chapter 317: A Lesson in One Plate
"The serve is good."
Fan Ju was not alert to the Croatian at first, or the previous game was too easy, so Fan Ju unconsciously relaxed his vigilance.
The Croatian has always served well, Ljubicic and Karlovic are both good servants, but compared to the other two compatriots eliminated in the first round, Mario Ancic obviously went a little further.
Fan Ju is the absolute hegemon in this match, and even clay players such as Nadal and Tommy Robredo can mix the No. 6 and No. 3 seeds.
"Wait for Nadal and I'll help you get revenge." Fan Ju also joked before starting the game that Nadal, who had just left Milan on a plane yesterday, was eliminated in the second round of singles when he met Ansic.
And Ancic's elimination list includes Fabrice Santoro, Rafael Nadal, and Tommy Robredo, a very luxurious list, at least in Fan Ju's opinion.
"A good opponent who is in good form." However, this sentence hits the nail on the head, Ancic's real situation now.
In the first set, Ancic served, 196 tall, turned out to be a tactic of serving and netting, which is very similar to Karlovic that Fan Ju had met before, but Karlovic was even higher, and they gave Fan Ju the same feeling on the net, lacking flexibility.
However, in response to that sentence, the serve was good, and Ancic won the first game by serving despite being a little stiff at the net.
Obviously, as a master of hair extensions, the world's top hair extensions are stored zài. Fan Ju did not put too much pressure on the opponent's serve, or the opponent himself was the type of threat that did not differ much from the angle of the first serve and the second serve.
"Some trouble. But it can still be suppressed. Fan settled down and continued to devote himself to his game, but he didn't expect the accident to happen immediately.
After a mistake, Fan Ju immediately made up a second serve with a topspin serve, but the speed was a little slow, and Fan Ju did not choose to go to the net to attack at the first time.
However, Ancic's baseline offensive ability is not strong, and Fan Ju returns the ball with a backhand. Pulling a beautiful slash allowed the tall player to start running to the opposite corner and struck a slash that was barely pulled out with his forehand. On the second shot, I found an opportunity to get close to the net.
"Shallow?" Fan Ju was overjoyed when he saw the ball that his opponent had hit.
Although not exactly in front of the net, to be precise, the ball is still on the outside of the teeing area. But just follow this beat. He can easily follow the ball to the net, and then at most one more shot can win this second serve!
Because it is a quick half-volley after landing, it can't play too strong spin, but the power and speed are added, but there is no spin, and the effect is slightly worse in suppression.
Fan Ju has also played a lot of such balls in previous games, after all, no one can guarantee it. Each of your own serves can complete the serve to the net.
Fan Ju's bottom line does not suffer, of course, there is no need to be reluctant. Although he represents the net play, it does not mean that he can only use the serve to end the game, the strongest of Fan Ju's own skills should be the bottom line, but the appearance of people at double speed makes him beyond ordinary people in front of the net, and even surpasses the limits of the times.
The return ball was very smooth, and landed in the corner of the bottom, and the opponent was running, and Fan Ju confidently blocked the middle position, ready to block the opponent's return to the diagonal corner.
"Oops!" Just as Fan Ju was stunned, he found that he was wrong.
He miscalculated a little, Ancic's arms were longer than him, and he ran faster than he expected, although he was stiff, but he was not sluggish, and when the racket was swung, it was like throwing out a long whip, and at the same time he hit the ball, and also penetrated the right side of Fanju's defense!
The point of impact is very accurate, Fan Ju can even hear the crisp sound of the ball hitting the racket, and the already fast forehand half-volley has become a help for the opponent.
The estimated ball speed must have exceeded 160 kilometers, and Fan Ju is not a fairy, it is very difficult to complete the turn in 0.3 seconds, and the racket is stretched out but it is a cut behind, and there is no way to hook the ball.
Morale plummeted? Well, for Fan Ju, there is no such thing, just a ball, but Fan Ju realized that the short ball just now was probably not a mistake, but deliberately released by the opponent.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be so good, falling on the point where he needed to reverse the volley, but couldn't intercept in front of the net, and the opponent wouldn't run to the reverse corner without hesitation after swinging the racket, not worrying about whether Fan Ju would hit a behind-the-back ball and score directly.
"It's kind of interesting." Fan Ju likes to meet masters, especially those who can excite him, not to mention that this Ansic is actually only one year and 3 months older than Fan Ju, and now he is actually a young man under 20 years old.
In terms of ranking, Fan Ju may indeed be higher, but Ancic can make Fan Ju's eyes shine, just like seeing Nadal at the beginning, but Ancic's surprise to Fan Ju is not on clay, but from the talent of still playing exquisite control and tactics on the fast court.
"Damn!" praised and praised, but Fan Ju still wanted to scold the street when he lost the ball.
In the second ball, relying on the suppressed serve to score directly, Fan Ju's serve is now more and more threatening on the court, and the net is played well, and the serve accounts for most of the credit.
But before Fan Ju was happy, he ushered in a second shot, and it was another second shot that was not suitable for the Internet.
For a while, Fan Ju and Ancic had a quick attack on the bottom line, and Fan Ju found himself being pulled back and forth by the opponent on the bottom line and running passively.
Ancic wanted to use the original trick when returning the ball, but even if Fan Ju was not a Saint Seiya, this simple second repetition was also seen through by Light Yì.
The direct raid was beaten back, and the two fell into the confrontation again, and Fan Ju was in an embarrassing situation where he couldn't get on the top and couldn't stop running.
Just when Fan Ju couldn't count how many shots were right between the two, Fan Ju made a mistake!
"As soon as the second shot went online, he caught the gap, and the interception space in front of the net was seen through so lightly, it was really a terrible young man." Fan Ju didn't want to think about how old he was now.
However, Ancic's table did shock him, several times he took the initiative to cut the ball with his forehand, all of which lured him to the net again, although Fan Ju dodged a few times, but the instinct of the net finally overcame that little bit of vigilance.
However, the accuracy of Ancic's baseline shooting did make Fan Ju breathtaking, you must know that this is on the carpet court, under such a high bounce speed, he can accurately grasp the timing and make changes, which is a manifestation of his ability in itself.
If you really want to say how strong and powerful, Fan Ju doesn't think it, but he can be sure that the opponent has indeed developed a way of playing against his second serve, even if not every player can use it, but it is enough for Ancic to suppress himself on the second serve!
And Fan Ju's worries will come true immediately, unlike the opening serve of Shun lì in the past, Fan Ju's opening of today's serve is not ideal, 8 serves, 6 second serves, only two goals scored one serve, and it gave Ancic a great opportunity!
A deuce, and the opponent played a lead, and the last ball also used twice the speed, but ......
"Is it so unlucky? Unexpectedly hung out of bounds? Is this the heavens that will destroy me? Fan Ju played a strong pressure on the topspin, but the power of the ball was too heavy, and the spin was strong, but it began to fall before it passed the net.
After rubbing it on the net belt, Fan Ju could only watch as the ball lost its center of gravity and flew out of bounds.
2:0……
Bad first game, but that's not the end.
Mario Ancic seemed to find confidence and began his big attack, while Fan Ju was busy defending to adjust his one-serve form while having to headache his opponent's surprisingly high first-serve goal rate.
Before the game, Raschet mentioned to him a game of the opponent's serve, and Fan Ju didn't pay much attention to it, after all, after watching too many world-class players, Fan Ju was still confident in his hair extension.
However, after the start of this match, Ancic's first-serve form was at a very high level, and under normal circumstances, Ancic's average first-serve goal rate was around 60%.
This number is already very high, and Fan Ju can only reach this number when the serve is in good condition, although the usual serve is close, but the average number still starts with 5.
However, after the start of this match, Mario's goal rate in 3 games has not been lower than 70%, and only one second serve will appear in 4 serves, and in the current game with Fan Ju, it has increased to 78%, which almost forced Fan Ju into a dead end.
Fan Ju's receiving efficiency is high, but Ancic's serve is not simple, it is Fan Ju's most hated large-angle serve, the speed is not slow, and it may not be able to play any miracles if it is received.
Although Ancic's serve on the net is immature, but with the help of the serve, it is enough to score, and Fan Ju has no chance to fight with the opponent on the net to react, and there is no way to restrain the opponent on the second serve.
When he saw the score fall on 3:6, Fan Ju sincerely realized that he was not the only one in the world who could adapt to the reality of the high-speed court, whether it was the opponent's good service or other reasons, the score represented the best result.
Fan Ju didn't use a violent move to save anything, and he took a serious look at Ancic's tactics in the first set and the effect he could achieve in his second serve.
The kind of connection that lured himself to the half, but still had to return to the bottom line, was indeed very clever in restricting himself to the bottom line.
"People stumble and horses stumble, but it's not a bad thing to stumble once in a while, if he doesn't let me see this problem clearly, I'm afraid I'll really be addicted to the illusion that I'm invincible in this arena." During the break, Fan Ju didn't think of any tactical responses, but reviewed his previous naïve thoughts.
However, Fan Ju is Fan Ju after all, and the current Fan Ju is not a complete version of him, he is still confident to win the game, and when he steps on the field again, he will show all his strength to respond to his opponent! (To be continued......)
