Almighty Athlete Chapter 17: Federer’s signature top serve
On the third day of the Australian Open, in addition to the second round of the men’s singles and women’s singles, the first round of the women’s doubles officially began later this day.
There are still no big hits on the third match day. From the score point of view, several top players have gradually found the feeling of the match. Of the three golden flowers that the national team postponed, two of them defeated their opponents and were promoted.
On the fourth competition day, the second round of men’s singles and women’s singles is still in progress, and Zhang Guan and Sharapova will also be on this day.
On this day, Rod Laver Stadium and Vodafone Stadium both have five games. Rod Laver Stadium is three men’s singles and two women’s singles, while Vodafone Stadium is three women’s singles and two men’s singles .
After the first round of the game, Sharapova spit out bitter water to the media and complained of the hot weather, so the Australian Open organizers arranged the Sharapova game in the last game, and The venue was adjusted to Vodafone Stadium. Under normal circumstances, according to a game for two to three hours, except for the lunch break, the fifth game will be held in the evening and even at night, at which time the temperature will definitely drop a lot. This is also a privilege of the top seed of women's singles.
The game of Zhang Guan is scheduled for the fourth game. The venue is the third largest stadium in the Australian Open; today the mca stadium has arranged a total of four games, three men’s singles and one women’s singles. , The end is relatively fast, the score of both men's singles is 3o, the score of a women's singles is 21, and the highest single-set score is 64, there is no tiebreaker, so the pace of the game has not improved less.
In the third game, the 8th seed Nalbandian easily defeated Ecuadorian Lapanti with a total score of 3o and successfully advanced to the third round. The next game is the match between Zhang Guan and Grosjean.
"The second round of the men’s singles is about to start, against both sides of the men’s singles No. 28 seed Sebastian Grosjean and Zhang Guan playing with the sponsor's wild card!" Don't forget to mention the wild card.
As the two players warmed up on the field, the commentator also introduced the first round of the two players.
"Zhang Guan defeated Oroches by 3o. I think this was not expected by everyone before the match. However, Roches was obviously not in the game at the time, and his body was somewhat discomfort, so Only then lost the game. Today, Grosjean looks pretty good. So Zhang Guan is probably not as lucky as the first round." The commentator said.
This narrator apparently has not seen the first round of Zhang Guan, so he thinks that the reason why Zhang Guan can be promoted is because of Roches' physical discomfort. Although this narrator is also a tennis professional, the first round of men and women in the Australian Open added up to 128 games. It is impossible for the narrator to watch every game. For some games that lack seed players, they often just look at the score.
"Okay, both players are ready, and the game is about to begin! First, the game of Zhang Guan."
At this point, Zhang Guan is already in position. Prepare the ball. His luck is still good today, and he won Grosjean when he guessed the front and back of the coin, so he got the chance to take the lead.
Gross lets stare closely at Zhang Guan, but he remembers the video of the game between Zhang Guan and Roches.
"Zhang Guan mainly uses flat shots, but the ball speed is very fast. The Zhang Guan **** in the video seem to be less and sometimes less than 2oo kilometers. There is even a ball that has passed 21o kilometers. The flat shot reaches 2oo. Kilometers, it’s easier for me to catch a forehand.”
Gross Jean thought of it, leaning subconsciously towards the backhand position. And deliberately flashed his forehand.
I raised my hand and tossed the ball, then swung it with a single blow.
"Come on! It doesn't seem to be fast. It's not the same as I expected before the game. The ball is definitely less than 2oo kilometers." Grosjean suddenly felt a solid feeling. The thing he was most worried about before the game was Zhang Guan The high ball, after all, the ball that has passed 2oo kilometers, is not so easy to receive, and now the first ball does not look fast, and it is not much different from the general Grand Slam seed players.
"I thought it would be the kind of high ball, but I didn't expect it to be fast. I have a chance in this ball! It seems that in this game, I will be the first to lead." Grosjean thought while he was fast Move, ready to catch the ball.
Tennis flies past the king. Bouncing on the ground, the crisp voice on the ground made Gross tighten his heart.
"This sound is not a flat shot, it's a topspin! It turned out to be a topspin, no wonder it's a lot slower." Grosjean made an instant judgment.
As a professional tennis player, judging the condition of the ball by sound is the most basic skill. Gros let this Australian Open seed player, in this regard, is already very incomparable.
"Judging from the above spin standard, the degree of this ball is quite fast, but this kind of ball is too common, I have seen your landing point! Hey, bad!" Grosjean He slammed the racket out, but the tennis ball had to be ejected first.
"Not received!" Gross let his heart tighten.
"ace! 15o." The referee immediately announced the score.
"How could this happen, how the ball just rotated so much!" Gross let the situation after the ball just touched flash in his mind.
Originally everything was normal, but after the tennis ball bounced off the ground, Grosjean's unexpected changes appeared. The height of the ball's bouncing was much lower than Grosjean expected, and the arc of the ball was also Bigger than expected by Grosjean. That is to say, after the ball hits the ground, it then bounces in a relatively straight arc, and the trajectory is much lower than normal, so before Gross let the racket reach, he flew out of bounds.
Gross caught a little off guard, but before he came up with a solution, Zhang Guan started the second goal.
"Oh!" After the ball hit the ground, it was still the kind of crisp sound, but the ball's drop point was more tricky than before.
"It's still a topspin! It's the same as before! This landing point can't be received!" Grosjean suddenly felt that the kind of ball used by Zhang Guan seemed to have some familiar feelings, and inexplicably appeared in his mind. A name, a name that scares all tennis players.
Roger Federer!
"Why is this ball so much like Federer's ball? This low-curved topspin is Federer's best ball!" Gross let in a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. .
"Mongolian must be blind! This kind of ball is Federer's unique skill, how many people can't imitate it, how can Zhang Guan possibly do this trick! Don't panic, Federer's signature ball, I will try more Occasionally it will succeed, Zhang Guan can not master Federer's signature ball." Gross let himself comfort.
Federer's ball is not the fastest, but it is definitely the most difficult to catch. In particular, Federer's top spin is the most tricky, and the landing point is extremely tricky, but if it is just the trick, Federer's top spin is the biggest difference from other people's spin. Because Federer’s topspin spins very well and has a certain amount of side spin in addition to topspin, when the ball hits the ground and bounces, the height will be lower, the arc will be smaller, and the direction of the ball’s flight will also be Straighter. This kind of ball is extremely difficult to catch, even if it is caught, it can't grasp the landing point, so it falls into the passive.
This topspin is Federer’s signature. At present, no player can imitate this kind of ball. Even in the future, Federer’s ball has been resolved by slow motion from various angles, and has even become a tennis ball. Players teach the ball, but really can achieve the kind of peak Federer ball, but still not.
Because Federer’s ball is almost impossible to imitate, when Grosjean saw that Zhang Guan used the same ball as Federer, he was frightened and chose to bury his head in the soil like an ostrich, and actively determined Zhang Guan is Mongolian.
At the next moment, Zhang Guan took the third goal, and the goal of this goal was precisely on the line.
"It's still the same as before! The arc of the bounce is so low, this is really the kind of Federer's ball!" Gross let his face lose the confidence at the beginning of the game.
"Whoosh!" Zhang Guan did not continue to use the topspin for the fourth time, but used a flat shot. This ball was like a shell and hit the opponent's half.
"215 kilometers!" Grosjean saw this degree and immediately felt the tremendous pressure.
"I almost forgot that Zhang Guan is still a heavy gunner! After 21o kilometers of flat shots, plus Federer's signature topspin, how did I complete the break?"
After the 8th seed David Nalbandian defeated his opponent, he did not leave the court, but found a place to watch the match between Zhang Guan and Grosjean. Since Nalbandian’s next opponent is the winner between Zhang Guan and Grosjean, Nalbandian needs to observe the status of his opponent in the third round.
In fact, Nalbandian is mainly to observe the status of Grosjean~IndoMTL.com~Gross makes this kind of ball online player, once it is smooth, it is difficult to get entangled, even if he is the No. 8 seed Nalbandian did not dare to underestimate the enemy. As for Zhang Guan, it was directly ignored by Nalbandian.
However, at this time, Nalbandian's eyes stayed on Zhang Guan.
"Nothing wrong, it is indeed Federer's signature topspin, and Zhang Guan has been used three times in a row. This is no accident. It seems that Zhang Guan did learn Federer's ball. Let Grosjean This kind of bad backhand, as long as you use this topspin to constantly attack Grosjean’s backhand position, you can easily take the initiative or even score directly. Grosjean wants to complete the break in a certain game. Difficult." (To be continued.)
