Chapter 238: Three ACEs
"Damn ......"
The first ball hit the lower edge of the net belt directly, Fan Ju realized that he was in a hurry for the first serve, prepared for the action, and didn't even do the pick-up, he served according to the rhythm of the past, and even the throw was slightly deformed.
However, Fan Ju did not give up, he must give the opponent a good look on the first serve, he has to give the opponent a signal, and his own serve should not be underestimated!
The speed dropped, but the power did not wane, and the second shot flew directly towards the opponent's backhand position with a strong topspin.
The angle is very large, but in the position where Roddick is standing to catch the ball, he can't catch the ball with both hands, but his powerful arms are enough to withstand the heavy blow brought by Fan Ju's powerful topspin.
"Over the shoulder!" The moment Roddick catches the ball, it is already extraordinary, even if it is a second serve, it is quite powerful, although it is still not as good as his own serve, but it can bring pressure to his own serve.
The power of one-handed return is not small, but the angle control is extremely reluctant, and it is still the direction of Fan Ju's serve, which allows Fan Ju not to make too many adjustments.
The footsteps are like a jumping antelope, a bit like Federer's movement, this is not a regular movement of Fan Ju, and Fan Ju will not make unnecessary changes at will.
At the moment of returning the ball, Roddick wanted to move to the middle, but Fan Ju's power action made him feel like he was confused at the moment of movement.
"Not good!"
The center of gravity of his body stopped instantly, but when he determined the direction of Fan Ju's swing, he found it. The goal of Fan Ju is not a slash!
I throw out a racket, and the body becomes slightly twisted with it to hit the ball, too. Fan Ju discarded the center of gravity of the entire right side of his body.
This was tempting, causing his opponent to misjudge the direction of the shot in an instant, but Fan Ju did not let up because he knew that his opponent had more than just the kung fu of the racket!
Roddick has always had a hidden strength that was a little unobtrusive under the cover of his serve and forehand brilliance.
His strong body is not only the arms and upper limbs. Including his waist and abdomen, his lower limbs, he also has extremely strong explosive power.
Even if the judgment is wrong. Roddick, however, still ran halfway to the other, he flattered his impulsiveness, so when faced with defeat, he also burst out with a sense of recklessness.
Changed to another player. I'm afraid I've watched the ball fly out of the bottom line at this point. But Roddick didn't give up at his feet, his body was already looking forward, he could barely see the direction he was going to swing, he saw the ball, and only saw the ball.
After swinging the racket, Roddick knew that he had successfully touched the ball, but his body could no longer stop, and years of sports experience made him know that he could not brake suddenly. Forced braking will only cause unnecessary sprains and strains.
The pace went from fast to slow, as he eased the rush on the call. His body had rushed two meters away, and the applause on the field had already been remembered, but Roddick knew that the applause did not belong to him.
Fan Ju watched his opponent's dangerous and dangerous return of the ball, glad that he was always vigilant, and Roddick's almost impossible sudden save made him startled.
Of course, Roddick's save did not have the slightest lethality, at most it was a little sudden, and he had returned to the middle line to stand in the middle line, but he just took advantage of the situation in the opposite direction of Roddick's position, waved his forehand, and easily won this point.
"Sure enough, I have a pair of fast legs that are not lost to Hewitt, and my explosiveness is probably stronger than mine." Fan Ju silently calculated the speed of the ball just now, and he was afraid that he could save it after hesitating, but at that time, he had to drive twice the speed, otherwise it might not be so easy to hit the net.
In just one round, the pair better understood each other's strength, and of course, it also allowed both sides to face the next game calmly.
After getting the ball, Fan Ju was no longer in a panic, picked it, consumed a little time, relieved himself, and determined the opponent's position.
After the racket was swung, Fan Ju did not move again, because his eyes saw very clearly, Roddick once again guessed the wrong center of gravity, which slightly relieved Fan Ju, the opponent's ball sense is not as terrifying as Federer, at least even in peak condition, there is still no need to worry, his return ball is guessed, and the game is a long and fierce confrontation.
Roddick didn't move, but the ball landed exactly on the bottom of the teeing area, and with a beautiful outside corner ace, the ball didn't even go faster than 190 kilometers.
Sometimes the serve does not necessarily need to be very fast, you only need to grasp the opponent's momentary center of gravity and a good landing point, and the rest just needs to see if God gives you a chance, at a certain moment, give you a good service state.
30:0, and won an ace, very smooth start, but this is not the end!
ACE, or ACE! Fan Ju used 3 consecutive large-angle outside corner aces to serve, and directly won the first game, at this time, it was Roddick's turn to be dumbfounded, he knew that Fan Ju's hair extension was very powerful, but he didn't know, it turned out that Fan Ju's serve could be so strong and so stable.
"Andy, don't panic, hit your serve steadily, you can!" Gilbert in the coach's seat wanted to shout loudly to calm down his disciples, and Fan Ju's expression just now was obviously a good tease for Roddick's nerves.
Serving is Roddick's domain, and Fan Ju not only challenged with the extension, but also three aces in a row, which were like three resounding slaps in Roddick's face.
Was Fan Ju intentional? He himself couldn't have imagined that his opening serve today could be so brave, of course, Roddick's defense and reaction are indeed a little "sluggish", compared to players of his level, the strength of serving and receiving is obviously not at the same level.
Of course, it was pure luck to serve three consecutive high-quality corners with high quality, and Fan Ju was well aware that his service skills had not yet reached that level.
Even if they all drove at double speed, they might not be able to hit the same three balls, so it can only be said that Roddick was not very lucky, or God destined it to be a wonderful game with a different face.
Changing the game and fighting again, the two switched sides, and the position of the serve just now stood on Roddick.
Roddick's serve is somewhat similar to Sampras's, the action is fast, very anxious, and to say a bad adjective, it looks a little "monkey anxious".
But no one cares about their starting movements and hurried rhythm, because his service is absolutely superb, and the moment the ball is tossed, Roddick's body instantly completes the movement from bending the knee to bounce.
The power and explosiveness of the body are all concentrated in one point, and like his other skills, he is desperate, and only in this way can he hit such a high-speed serve!
"So fast!" Fan Ju found out for the first time in double speed, and it turned out that such a fast ball speed could also be seen in double speed.
221 kilometers, converted into a double speed is also as high as 165 kilometers of serve, but Fan Ju's double speed did not automatically increase because of the increase in ball speed, not because Fan Ju judged correctly, but because.
That's right! Roddick knows this when he hits the ball, but he can't help it, his serve has such a "flaw", and what you often see in the game is the speed of the serve that is refreshed again and again.
However, you will find that the number of aces in Roddick has not increased, not that his serve is not fast enough, but that the angle of his fast enough serve is too positive!
However, that doesn't mean it doesn't have power, and a serve of this speed, even if it's not topspin, can still make people feel like they've been hit by a shot put.
When the ball reaches a certain height, if you want to increase the speed, you have to exert more force.
This power will not only be shown in the speed of the ball, but also in the moment when the racket hits the ground up!
The backhand barely hit a midfield, and even Fan Ju's 158kg bench press power seemed reluctant in the face of such a response, and he also identified another lethal weapon in Roddick's serve besides speed, which was the numbing heavy touch.
In the face of Fan Ju's backhand, Roddick didn't immediately hit a forehand force, Fan Ju's position was too positive, and he knew that even if he used his strength at this time, the ball he hit would not be lethal.
The forehand was slapped and volleyed, which was still Fan Ju's backhand, and the heavy pressure made Fan Ju's scalp numb.
"This guy is going to eat me at the bottom line!" He knew his opponent's intentions, but he didn't have the power to fight back in the backhand position.
"Fight!" Turning on at double speed, Fan Ju barely changed some lines, which was a small change, but it was very effective.
The ball flew towards Roddick's backhand, which was not at a big angle, but managed to avoid a collision with his forehand, but Fan Ju still underestimated Roddick, or the strength of his skills as a world-class player.
With both hands backhanded, Roddick still didn't hit a big angle, on the contrary, the diagonal line was very shallow, but it made Fan Ju still dumbfounded.
"Still a backhand......" This was not in Fan Ju's plan, and he also had the idea of continuing to invest in double speed for a moment, but when the racket touched the ball, he gave up this idea.
Backhand no! Fan Ju reaffirmed this concept, his backhand is completely suppressed against the top players, and unless he can get to the net, the backhand attack itself is full of holes.
Roddick is not an ordinary player, and Fan Ju's weak backhand return allowed him to catch a forehand opportunity again!
Forehand pressure! This time, Roddick slightly increased his power, and a few swings of the racket allowed him to find the feeling of grabbing the power of the baseline, and he knew that it was his turn to solve this ball!
The swinging racket pointed directly at the corner of the court, and when Fan Ju hit the ball with the racket, his heart suddenly cooled......
Roddick's afterburner made Fan Ju make a mistake in returning the ball, and the backhand control zhì couldn't control the opponent's stronger and stronger strength, hanging on the net belt, bouncing heavily! (To be continued......)
