Almighty Athlete Chapter 33: I want to challenge

Tommy Harvey spent nearly two hours ending his third round of the game. Instead of continuing to play at Vodafone Stadium, he quickly returned to his residence and began to prepare for the next game. According to the Australian Open game schedule, the contest between Harvey and Zhang Guan will be held in the second game the next morning.

The time is very tight for Harvey. He only has one day to prepare, so he can’t wait to find the video of the game of Zhang Guan against Nalbandian and watch it carefully.

"Right-handed backhand, just like me! It looks like Zhang Guan's backhand strength is very strong. I can almost hold the backhand with Nalbandian's hands. If I fight backhand, I don't seem to have What is the advantage, then do not fight backhand with him.

Harvey continued to watch, saw Zhang Guan serve the Internet, and then saw Zhang Guan also chose zé when he received the ball.

"This is the pre-net play style. Why do some young players use the pre-net play style? This style of play was the most popular when I was a kid. Isn't it basically eliminated now? If it is one For players in their thirties, I can still understand how to play in front of the net. But Zhang Guan is less than twenty years old. How could you use this 20 years ago? Isn’t the level of tennis in Asia still staying? Twenty years ago?"

Harvey shook his head: "It’s impossible. There are also many excellent tennis players in Asian countries. Japan, Thailand, and South Korea all have Grand Slam players. There are also several people in China who participate in women’s singles and doubles. Project, and the girlfriend of Zhang Guan is still Sharapova, so Zhang Guan cannot be unaware that the pre-net play has already been eliminated. So then Zhang Guan deliberately learned this pre-net play!"

Thinking of this, Harvey suddenly laughed: "It's interesting. I don't learn the most practical bottom line now. Instead, I learn to play in the net that has been eliminated by the times. Ah!"

Twenty years ago, there was a variety of reasons for the popularity of playing in the net. The first is tennis equipment. The racket materials of that era were different from those of the present, so even the peak Federer or Nadal could not play that kind of high-intensity rotating ball. With the advancement of technology, the materials and production techniques of rackets and tennis have made great progress, making the difficulty of playing the bottom line much lower.

Second is the reason for the ground. The plastic materials on the hard ground have made great progress with the development of science and technology, and the elasticity is getting better and better. The grass field is also gradually cultivating grass varieties suitable for playing tennis; Even for red clay sites, the application of composite materials makes the construction of drainage systems on the site easier, and the red clay paving is much harder than before.

In addition, the continuous development and progress of tennis technology, the high requirements for players in front of the net play, etc., finally made the front of the net play gradually eliminated by the times. The bottom line began to prevail.

Like Harvey players, when they were studying tennis, it was the era of Sampras, the player who played in front of the net is the mainstream. They also have a certain understanding of playing in front of the net. So Harvey quickly developed a set of tactics for himself to deal with the Zhang Guan net play.

"Nalbandian’s spin on the ball is more general, so it would be more difficult to face the opponents who play in front of the net. Although my backhand is not as strong as Nalbandian, but he plays the spin The technology is still better than that of Nalbandian. Tomorrow's game, we need to strengthen the rotation of the ball. In addition, we must pay attention to the arc of the ball, and don't give him the machine to easily surf the Internet."

"Other words. Young players are more accustomed to playing in the wind, especially for novice tennis players who are not enough in the game. Patience and toughness are definitely insufficient. I need to increase the game time. The longer the game time The longer, the better it should be for me."

......

On the eighth match day of the Australian Open, still at Vodafone Stadium, Zhang Guan ushered in its fourth round match. The 12th seed of the tournament, the German Tommy Haas.

Zhang Guan and Haas were scheduled for the second match. Vodafone Stadium’s first match today was the women’s singles Chuck Vitazer against Schneider. The game went very quickly, and it took Chak Vitazze more than seventy minutes to beat Schneider 2-0.

And among the fans of Vodafone Stadium today, the latter obviously needs more. When Zhang Guan walks out of the player channel, he gets applause and cheers no weaker than Haas.

"The familiar applause and cheers are back! Competitive sports is so realistic!" Zhang Guan sighed with emotion in her heart. Six days ago, when he first appeared on this court as a professional tennis player, it was full of boos, he was a "public enemy", and after these six days, Zhang Guan conquered with three victories In the audience, he has been able to enjoy the treatment of seed players in this venue.

After a short warm-up, the game started and Zhang Guan took the lead in serving.

Zhang Guan looked at the position of Haas and felt that the ball would attack Haas's forehand better, so he aimed the ball's landing point at the position of Haas' forehand.

And Haas is paying attention to Zhang Guan's serve.

"Is it going to serve the Internet? It may also be a strong draw! After all, this is the first ball in this game. Zhang Guan can fight together. The possibility of using a flat serve should be greater." Ha Quietly thinking

Throwing, swinging, and hitting, Zhang Guan directly uses a flat shot to serve. The tennis ball flew out with a whizz.

"This ball is so fast!" Although Haas learned in the video that Zhang Guan was a "heavy gunner", he had already prepared for it, but when he encountered it in the game, he still couldn't help it. Sighed.

At the same time~IndoMTL.com~ Haas is ready to catch the ball, but the moment he wants to move dòng, Haas finds that the ball is about to fall out of bounds.

"This ball is going out of bounds, as expected, Zhang Guan should be prepared to put pressure on me at the opening, so the goal of this ball is the limit of zé." Haas just shook his body and didn't pick up This ball.

At the next moment, the ball bounced on the ground and then bounced out, but Haas felt that the ball seemed to have a little pressure.

"It seems that the line has been pressed, and it seems that the line has not been pressed. Is there any line? The ball is too fast to see clearly." Haas hesitated and turned his attention to the line referee, waiting for the referee's judgment.

"OUT!" The line referee has called out.

"Hoo!" Haas breathed a sigh of relief, and the ball was indeed an out-of-bounds ball as he judged.

However, Zhang Guan raised his hand at this time and said to the head referee: "I want to challenge!" (to be continued.)
