Chapter 146: Another Injury! (Ask for subscription)
The pace of the match was fast, a bit faster than Oscar expected, and his opponent didn't add spin because of the rain, but opted for a quicker attack!
Almost from the opening he never stopped attacking, it was completely different from the last game he saw, the young man who was passively defending, waiting for an opportunity to hit his backhand was gone, all he saw was a beat after a sharp attack, whether it was a backhand or a forehand, he would not hesitate to attack with force.
This is only the first 6 games played, Oscar began to gasp for breath, the pace was too fast, so fast that he didn't have time to stand firm, and the next ball was already attacked.
Barely hitting a flat shot that was close in sight, and feeling almost no spin on the ball, Oscar had the illusion that the ball was getting heavier and heavier.
This is a game, this illusion is very abnormal, and it also means that Fan Ju's targeted play has a very good effect!
"Yes, you can break next." Seeing the lead in the game, Fan Ju was very satisfied.
The opponent is different from Filippo, technically more average than Filippo, but in this level of competition, average means mediocre, and there is no surprise attack in the forehand position, which makes Fan Ju have less scruples and more advantages in playing style.
Similar to what he expected, the opponent's defense was solid, and it took a lot of patience to run and return the ball with a steady forehand and backhand, and find holes to penetrate the bottom line.
Fan Ju's attack was fast-paced, but he was not in a hurry to complete the break quickly, and he could wear down the opponent's body, after establishing his own rhythm and body advantage. Only then did Fan Ju show his fangs and swoop towards his opponent's deadly throat!
A strong hit of the forehand, the power of the ball suddenly changed from a level flight state. It becomes a topspin balloon with a belt and high spin.
Osker saw the ball sinking rapidly after crossing the net, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Bang~Smack!" The sound of the racket hitting the ball was slightly different, heavy and long, and then the sound made his heart cold.
Oscar's swing was too slow to adjust his direction, and the strong topspin sent his power flying, the shaking net and the tennis ball rolling in his own court. All of them indicate a mistake.
There are two types of mistakes on the pitch, forced and unforced errors, and it is difficult to distinguish between the two in a game. It's like Oscar's ball.
If it weren't for Fan Ju's sudden application of high topspin, the shot would not have been missed, but on the surface, it was no different from a normal shot. It's like Oscar's judgment is wrong. That's why it was an unforced error to return the ball to the net.
A stealthy burst of power allowed Fan to take the lead on his opponent's serve, but it was just the beginning.
The rapid attack was already overwhelming Oscar, and the more he ran, the more he felt tired, and the idea of despising his opponent had long been forgotten, and this kind of unreasonable" rapid suppression almost forced him to forget all the usual clay tactics.
The rain beneath your feet became more and more sticky, and at some point the sky began to drizzle again, and the rain was neither heavy nor dense. Neither the spectators nor the players have to worry about getting their clothes and hair wet by this drizzle.
But a slight change does not mean that there is no change, and the control of tennis power is even more difficult. If you want to hit a ball of the same quality, the power you expend gradually increases.
Oscar struggled to keep up with Fanju's rhythm and had to deal with a sudden onslaught of topspin that required more power to shoot back, which made him almost crazy on the court, but he had to do it.
“6:3”
After all, the opponent still did not survive Fan Ju's change onslaught, and after the third game, Fan Ju did not miss any chance to score in the game, and all he had to do now was to continue to destroy his confidence after hitting his opponent's body.
Just as he destroyed Filippo's backhand confidence on the court yesterday, it is more effective against opponents who are not in the best form than a few breaks.
The effect was even better than Fan Ju expected, the speed reduction on the court that he was worried about did not happen, Oscar's running momentum was a little weak, and after the excitement of the opening game, it was too late to speed up.
The opponent's strength is actually not weak, but Fan Ju's play is more targeted, especially since he has just played two matches with another player with the same characteristics, and he feels very comfortable with how to deal with this kind of opponent who is experienced on clay and good at running.
At the beginning of the second half, the rain gradually became a little heavier, and Fan Ju began to shift from speed to precision play, although his accuracy was not fatal, but when the opponent's running speed dropped, it was better to score more steadily to win.
The sound of the "......" racket rubbing against the ground made Fan Ju, who was waiting to receive the ball back, also stunned.
The opponent ran too fast, forgot about the rainy weather, and was about to chase a return ball that changed the line, and turned too hastily again.
Oscar was quick and hit the ground with his racket, and finally didn't fall face down on the court.
However, it was inevitable that the butt would fall backwards, and after standing up, the back of the white jersey was all stained with red clay, and the racket was also a little deformed due to the hard support.
"Do you want to hurt another one?" Oscar stood up and took two steps, but did not start the game immediately, but signaled to the referee and asked for a doctor to come in, covering his buttocks, which did not look good.
This could also be the opponent's tactic of delaying the match, Fan Ju didn't know about it, the fall just now didn't look strict, the butt hit the ground, and the thick meat pad dispersed most of the force.
The doctor entered the scene quickly, crouched on Oscar and asked a few questions, and then saw Oscar stand up and turn his back, and the doctor gently pressed towards the position of the tailbone.
"Ah......h It hurts a little, please lighten it. First of all, it was a slang sentence in Spanish, and Fan Ju didn't understand what it meant, but it wasn't pretended.
The doctor brought out the cooling spray on the spot, which is the most commonly used tool to deal with injuries on the field, and in the past it was more often used with ice cubes, but the spray mixed with painkillers was more effective and had no other side effects.
After a brief treatment, the doctor left the field, Oscar obviously had no intention of withdrawing, a slight coccyx contusion, and after emergency treatment, he was able to endure it until the end of the game.
The will to win kept him competing, but Fan Ju could clearly feel his opponent's sluggish movements as he ran.
When changing direction, the opponent's forehead and face will appear a little distorted, which is different from the expression when he exerts force at double speed.
This distortion is more caused by pure pain, and the medicine is not a panacea, and the really fast painkillers almost all have a hallucinogenic effect, and the ingredients in them are regarded as absolute forbidden drugs in competitive sports.
There is no way to completely relieve the pain, coupled with the situation on the field that has been suppressed by Fan Ju, the result will naturally not be too good, better than Filippo, but only some.
6:2 Fan Ju quickly won the second set again, and after two rounds of matches, Fan Ju felt more relaxed than the previous match.
"Maybe I'm more used to the red clay, right?" There is no obvious improvement, but the real results make Fan Ju very satisfied, he plans to maintain this state until he reaches the finals, and can compete with his opponent in his "fate"!
On the other side of the court, Nadal was in a tough battle at this time, Nadal is a clay player, and the area where he grew up is also on the windy seaside, but the rain will still affect his technical performance.
Especially the heavier and heavier rain in the later stage once made the power of his high-spin ball drop significantly, but the opponent with the fast ball took the upper hand.
It's not that his skills are inferior to his opponents, but Nadal's slow technical characteristics often push him into a corner, and he played all the way to a tie-break with his opponent in the first set, but only got a mere three points and lost the first set.
In the second set, he finally regained some feeling, and the ball speed gradually increased, and after a few entanglements, he finally completed the break at the crucial 6:5 and snatched a set back at 7:5.
On a rainy day, it was a high-intensity competition, which tested the physical strength of the two players, which also made the slow-burning Nadal, who was not extinguished by the rain, finally "hot" to the end.
The last set was almost a complete comeback, and after two beautiful breaks, he mercilessly sent the Argentine player out of the match with 6:3!
"This kid is playing so thrilling again...... However, it feels more and more difficult to deal with. Fan Ju saw Nadal in the second half of the match, breaking the key break of the second set and the complete suppression of the third set.
This is Nadal's technical characteristics, when he adapts to his opponents, his own skills can completely reverse and suppress, the technique is comprehensive, and the strength and body are also very abundant, and it will become a great weapon in time.
Many brokerage companies have long been eyeing Nadal's fat, but it is a pity that Nadal's affairs are all taken care of by his uncle, and at the same time, before he played a high ranking, he adhered to the same "low-key" style as Fan Ju.
There are very few sponsorships and commercials, but the potential is huge, including invitations from Fan Ju's IMG company, but according to the current rankings, it will take two or three years for Nadal to sign with a big agency.
Fan Ju's situation has its own particularities, his vocational training is carried out in IMG's Nickelodeon Online School, which is relatively close to him congenitally, of course, it is also because there is no professional company in China that can satisfy Fan Ju to take care of things for himself, Fan Ju's competition and itinerary are too professional, and he can't handle it at all at the level of "immature" in China.
And more importantly, Fan Ju couldn't find a trustworthy person around him who knew tennis and could help him deal with professional affairs, which also made him have to choose a professional company to take care of himself, and IMG's contract was very "kind", Fan Ju really had no reason to refuse this win-win cooperation.
"What's next for Albert?" The competition has entered the third round, and the strong players have proved that they have stood out, and if they want to break into the finals, Fan Ju will face more challenges! (To be continued......)
