Almighty Athlete Chapter 45: Promotion to the top 4

If in the 1990s, playing before the net was a skill that athletes must master, then after the 21st century, the bottom line has become the most basic tactical game in tennis.

The bottom line of tennis is mainly divided into two types of bottom line offensive play and bottom line defensive play. The representative of the bottom line offensive play is Federer, and the representative of the bottom line of defensive play is Nadal .

Technically speaking, Federer is indeed a versatile player. However, among the various offensive methods Federer has mastered, the technique of bottom line attack is undoubtedly his best. Federer is known as the strongest forehand in history. His forehand is also known as the "hand of God". Under his strong forehand, the bottom line pulls the attack and turns sideways to become Federer's sharpest weapon. This style of play can often move opponents across the board, and the viewing is also very good, so people will say that Federer can always play a gorgeous offense.

Federer's bottom-line pull to sideways attack requires a strong forehand in addition to good skills. Now many players are trying to learn Federer's play, but the technology is not as good as Federer, and at the same time lack of the strongest forehand in history, naturally Federer can not play the kind of power.

Fedler’s use of this bottom line during the peak period can be said to be a nightmare for all players. Except that Nadal can use the clay court to compete with Federer, for other players, Federer’s bottom line Tactics are simply unsolvable.

Davidenko is very afraid of Federer's bottom line tactics. Davydenko's style is often used by Federer to use this set of tactics to return to the run. More importantly, Davydenko is not a talented player. After a long return run, Davydenko's unforced mistakes There will be a substantial increase, especially in the last few innings of each game, Davydenko will continuously concede the ball.

So when Davydenko discovered that Zhang Guan was also using the baseline pull to turn sideways, the first thing that came to mind was Federer. Davydenko’s impression of Federer’s style of play was so deep that he lost consecutively Nine times, how could it not be impressive!

At this time, Davydenko suddenly panicked. He made a mistake on his first shot, and his second shot was received by Zhang Guan. Then he scored several consecutive bottom line pulls.

"Oops, Zhang Guan is going to attack the diagonal sideways again!" Although Davydenko had long expected it, he was caught off guard and lost his serve.

"Zhang Guan will use Federer's tactics, which I really didn't expect before the game, I thought Zhang Guan would use the pre-net play." Davydenko took a deep breath: "There are too many in this world Many people are learning this kind of Federer's play, but no one can do it like Federer. I think Zhang Guan at most just learn something, he can't have Federer's good judgment and such a strong forehand Yes. So I need to calm down, don’t panic, continue to fight steadily, and look for opportunities!"

Next is Zhang Guan’s serve. Although Davidenco tried hard to score a goal, he still failed to complete the break. At this time, the score came to 42. For Davidenco, every next one There is no room for loss in service, and Davidenco must also find a way to break the Zhang Guan service.

In the seventh inning of both sides, Davydenko successfully defended the service, but the whole process was very difficult. He was still mobilized by Zhang Guan using the bottom line. Thanks to Davydenko’s serve in this round, it was still stable. Otherwise, it is likely to be broken again by Zhang Guan.

In the eighth inning, Zhang Guan started to strengthen the offensive before the net, but did not achieve too good results, was scored by Davydenko, and then Zhang Guan changed to the bottom line offensive play, and finally won his own Serve.

The score at this time came to 53, and the next game is a crucial game for Davidenco. If he can’t keep his serve, he will lose the first set.

However, it was precisely this round that Davidenco’s last thing he wanted to see happened. Under the running, his unforced errors increased, and in one round he appeared three Forced errors, which can be said to be fatal in tennis, he also lost his serve, and also lost the first set game of both sides.

At this time, Davydenko feels depressed, not only because he lost the first set of games, but also because the feeling of losing is almost the same as when he lost to Federer.

"Zhang Guan's bottom line offensive play is exactly the same as Federer's, like it was carved in a mold! Did Federer teach Zhang Guan to play tennis before? I haven't heard of any news in this regard, but why did the two men play on the bottom line? The method is so similar. The accuracy of the Zhang Guan forehand spin is not worse than Federer, and his foot movement is faster, so that it is easier to catch the ball with the forehand. In this way, how does Zhang Guan become a reinforcement Version of Federer!"

This idea shocked Davidovich. Now Federer is strong enough. If Federer can move faster, I am afraid that Nadal on the clay court is not Federer’s opponent.

"How come young people are better than one at first, first there is a Nadal, then a Djokovic, and now a Zhang Guan, it seems that Federer will not lack challengers in the future! "

Davidenko replaced a new racket and stepped onto the field.

At the start of the second set between the two sides, Zhang Guan still insisted on using the offensive line of the bottom line, but added more attempts.

"No wonder Davydenko never wins Federer. Federer’s tactics are really effective against Davydenko. Davydenko’s physical talent is really average. Once mobilized, there will be more mistakes. . Next I will try a more extreme landing point." Zhang Guan swings the ball, this time the ball's landing point flew past the position of the sideline.

Davidenko ran over in a big step, but still missed a step, only to watch the ball fall on the sideline, and then bounced out.

Next, Zhang Guan still chose the landing point closer to the edge, three consecutive goals, twice within the boundary, and once outside the boundary.

However, Davydenko is very embarrassed. His footsteps don't seem to be as agile as the opening game, and the number of ball errors in the run is increasing.

The final score of this set is ~IndoMTL.com~Zhang Guan won again.

"My foot hurts a little." Davidenco knew that a ball error in his running was due to a foot problem.

In the winter, Davydenko had been examined by a doctor. At that time, the doctor had informed Davydenko that he had a risk of stress fracture of his foot, and advised Davydenko not to participate in the competition with such high frequency. It is best Able to rest for a year and a half. However, Davydenko apparently did not follow the doctor’s advice. Just in 2007, Davydenko first ran to Qatar to participate in the Doha Open, competing for high prizes, and then participated in the non-stop Sydney International Championships. I chose to retire because of a discomfort in the foot.

Now, the Australian Open has reached the quarter-finals. After being transferred back to run continuously, Davidenco felt discomfort in his feet.

“It’s already 20 behind, Zhang Guan’s bottom line offensive style is not worse than Federer. It seems that today’s game is impossible to win. It is more important to protect yourself from injury.”

In the next third set, Davydenko gave up his resistance after retaining his first two servings and lost the game again, and Zhang Guan also successfully advanced to the semifinals. (To be continued.)
