Chapter 364: The Semi-finals Ended
Unlike high-speed courts, Henman does not have the so-called second shot attack, and all the qiē relies on the advantage brought by the serve, which makes him lack power on both the second shot of the net and the second beat of the baseline.
Of course, Henman's bottom line is not bad, if you want to compare it inappropriately, the bottom line technology He and Fan Ju are on the side.
Fan Jusheng is strong in force, and Henman is more experienced and better at controlling his strength, but if the two of them really play the bottom line honestly, I am afraid that Fan Ju will have the advantage, not counting the advantage brought by double speed, just the fact that he is young and strong can drag the opponent to death.
So Henman's serve can't be listened to, and the situation is completely different as soon as it stops!
Fan Ju is not in a hurry, because he knows that it is impossible for Henman to stick to a high-quality serve in 3 sets, and clay is an individual trap, but players who are not good at the body will not be able to play the strength and level they should have on clay, especially in a long format such as the French Open.
On the side of the body, Fan raised a top Henman duo, so he was patient, and he believed that he didn't have to wait too long, because Henman's serve that began to waver had already allowed him to see his chance!
In the second set, Henman's serve began to make frequent mistakes, how could Fan Ju miss, a series of strong attacks, and instantly moved the score to a draw, to say that it was purely playing on the net, Fan Ju was not afraid of anyone, Henman did not have the first shot, and Fan Ju could not be suppressed by the net alone.
didn't go online, and the bottom line was forced back by Fan Ju with force in a few beats, and Henman could only shrink, and the situation immediately changed after contraction.
"Fan Ju is attacking!"
As long as he is not blind, he knows what he wants to do when he sees Fan Ju who frequently forcibly surfs the Internet. The strong hit and the strong fight of the hair extension bureau seemed a little impulsive, but Fan Ju knew very well that this was the best time.
Henman must not be allowed to slow down again. He suffered a lot from serving in the first set, and in order to save the face of the first person he received, he couldn't do it again.
Henman's baseline runs frequently, but at this time, the two are completely opposite to just now, Fan Ju is attacking, Henman's response, and clay is the defender's world. But that doesn't mean you can win clay by defending.
It's an attacker's game, and no one on the court plays tennis on defense, so only the one who has the offensive power. It's the one who wins the game.
The first set was Henman, then the second set was Fan Ju, and after getting the offensive rights, Fan Ju didn't plan to change it back, and if he wanted to play, he would die. Henman must not be given a chance to breathe.
The pace is getting faster and faster. The second set was like a whirlwind with a 6-2 result, and Henman forced a break in the middle of the set, but it was useless, Fan Ju used more breaks to force Henman back.
Offensive tennis, even if it is a sharp attack on clay, makes people watch the blood boiling, and the French who come to see the game and the tennis fans from all over the world are addicted. This is a clay match, and it's hard to see such a high-tempo and passionate fast play on grass now.
Fan Ju had the upper hand after all. He didn't think he would lose to his opponent by fighting the same technique, and the score was the same, and at the end of the third set, Fan Ju took a 2-1 lead in the big set.
Completing the reversal after dropping a set shows that Fan Ju is extremely mentally sound, and at this point, Fan Ju has never given up a match, and it also makes people realize that if you want to beat Fan Ju, you must use real ability, because your opponent will never give up any chance to win.
Turning his head back to the game, Henman was out of breath, the two sets of running just now were too exhausting, he deliberately saved some, but in Fan Ju's step-by-step pressing, he had no choice but to continue running.
Fan Ju served the first game, but Henman faced the danger of the final set, and only by winning this set can he have a chance to continue to win with Fan Ju on the court, otherwise this will be his last match, and probably the farthest in his career at the French Open.
Carefully grinding the soles on the ground and catching his breath, Henman was unhappy with the form of the previous two sets, and he hoped to regain the feel he had in the first set, so as to suppress the moves, free up the hands and feet, and be able to make more attempts on his opponent's serve.
Only by trying to break serve can he have a chance to break, and if he only wants to keep serve, he will only lose more, and Fan Ju also understands this in the end, so in Henman's service game, he let go of his hands and feet, and seized the opportunity more than his opponent, which made him advantageous.
A cautious serve in the inside corner, a goal, but no threat, even the backhand return can be played very solid, of course, the angle change is definitely lacking, this is the standard blow for the follow-up net attack serve.
Henman rushed to the net and cushioned the ball in reverse, and if it was on a hard court, with such a round speed, I am afraid that the opponent would not have had time to reach the other side of the court.
But this is clay, and Fan Ju's pace is fast enough, he can easily catch up with the ball, and the racket is to play a straight line through.
It's not easy to pick up the ball in the middle, but who is Henman? The control in front of the net is also extraordinary, plus Fan Ju's ball is also a backhand in the run, the line is changed, but the strength is still a little worse.
"Chance!" Fan Ju's eyes saw the ball flying to the other side, returning the ball at a small angle.
Henman controlled zhì very well in front of the net, and hit the return ball on the high-speed court enough to score the ball, but the speed of the ball dropped rapidly after bouncing, Fan Ju saw the opportunity, the opportunity to go to the net!
The speed of the ball is not as fast as the footwork, which is a dilemma encountered on clay courts in front of the net, and although Henman can play a beautiful return ball in front of the net, he is always difficult to kill his opponent.
Fan Ju stepped forward quickly, the racket went upward, the power was just right, and the angle avoided the opponent's defensive range.
If the net is on the bottom line, it will be slowed down by the court, then the net in front of the net, it is completely dependent on the control of the reaction, Fan Ju counterattack is faster than Henman, and the control force is no longer lost to the opponent, the ball is easily picked over the net belt, and the opposite corner of Henman even ran just started, he had to step on the brakes, and turned back with the ball and looked at the bottom line.
0:15 took the lead, Fan Ju was still the dominant side in the fourth set, at least from this ball, Fan Ju's timing on the net was better than Henman's.
It is a surprise that the opponent's service advantage is played into a fast crossing of the anti-net, which defuses the opponent's attack and gets the opportunity to attack, which can only be described as wonderful.
Henman was not convinced and could not help it, he was so bad on clay in front of the net, he continued to serve, and also hit a beautiful outside corner.
The strong attack in front of the net is like releasing all the pressure from the backlog.
The half-court power was beaten, followed by the continuous suppression of the foot, and the emotion was fully revealed on the ball, Henman was already anxious at this time, and lost the calm that the players in front of the net should keep, if it wasn't for Fan Ju's control of the ball was not the best, I'm afraid the ball would have to be lost.
The high pressure in front of the third shot of the net, this kind of real scoring ball, was beaten back to the backcourt by Fan Ju with a high throw, but unfortunately it was just a little more force, and the distance of a ball body, as long as the arc was slightly higher, or the power was smaller, this ball could definitely be pressed in the boundary.
"It's a pity ......" Compared with Henman, Fan Ju is much calmer, a ball out of bounds can not affect him, on the contrary, the opponent has a service advantage, and he can't score smoothly, which is what he wants to see.
The two were playing on the field, and there was naturally a gap between the two and the other, Henman almost drew a cross on his chest when he saw this out-of-bounds ball, thanking God the Virgin Mary, but Fan Ju turned his head, sorted out his racket, and prepared for the next hair extension.
In this match, Fan Ju already had a premonition that he would win, of course, what the process was, Henman's serve was slightly restored, and he didn't dare to say 100% that he would be able to leave no chance for his opponent.
But in terms of situation and momentum, Fan Ju has already won the advantage, and now he is about to launch the last wave of counterattack, all he needs is to wait for the opportunity, a suitable time to come.
"Throw in the towel?" Fan Ju muttered that in fact, he was very unworthy of Henman, serving to the net limited the player's vision, and age became the biggest obstacle to his change.
With only two balls, the score of 15:15 became 15:40, and it was Fan Ju who got the break, and Henman still did not weaken his serve, but he did not force the net again.
What does this mean? If you want to play the bottom line with Fan Ju, what advantage can you take advantage of when the power and spin are not cheap?
Fan Ju just shoots against Henman steadily, and does not pursue any angle depth, but just adds the power and spin of each ball in place.
Sure enough, one ball went out of bounds, one ball went down the net, Henman himself sent the weakness to Fan Ju, two break points, Fan Ju couldn't miss it, even if Henman could be as brave as the first set, it was impossible!
The rhythmic applause was reminiscent of the arena, just as a pole vaulter would lead the audience to bring the rhythm of the run for himself before the jump.
Henman didn't agitate, but the crowd on the sidelines did it spontaneously, hoping that the good game would continue and enjoy the good game.
If Fan Ju breaks, everyone will write the answer in their hearts, and if they want to bet more than 90% of the audience, they will put their chips on Fan Ju's side.
The court fell silent, and Henman's powerful serve flew out of the racket with the swing of his body and arms, and he was in bounds! It made people feel a little excited.
But this kind of pleasure didn't last long, but I saw that the position of the hair extension was Fan Ju's forehand, and it was also the forehand that completely made the action of receiving the ball!
"Ah......" accompanied by the sigh of the whole audience, Henman's return ball hung on the net belt, and the 2:0 score changed again, and the next game in everyone's hearts may have become Fan Ju's performance time. (To be continued......)
