Almighty Athlete Chapter 63: Sampras’s unique skills
Federer started the game slowly and not once or twice. Especially in some major events, the current rounds have been played smoothly. Federer always has a slow start in the finals. Federer's "slow fever" has not been "cured" until 2015.
"0-15, I really did not expect that Zhang Guan was the first to score in this game!"
"This is the first goal of the game. Federer made a mistake and made a mistake. He should first look for the feel."
Federer, who is aiming at the broadcast, and Federer’s expression did not change, he bounced the tennis ball a few times on the ground, and was ready to start his second serve.
"OUT!" the referee shouted again, Federer made mistakes again and again.
"It looks like Federer's opening feel is really average, even two consecutive mistakes!" The commentator's voice sounded, and a disappointed sigh rang from the audience.
Federer is still not affected, he started his second serve again.
"Whoosh!" The tennis ball flew over, still Federer's signature topspin serve, the landing point was not the limit, but it was already very close to the sideline.
Federer's second serve is still not fast. This ball is only about 170 kilometers per hour, so Zhang Guan has more time to run to the receiving point and then hit back with a forehand.
This time, the Zhang Guan increased the rotation of the ball. This high-speed rotation of the bottom line is exactly what Nadal is good at.
"Boom!" The tennis ball bounced on the ground and then bounced, but the sound of the tennis ball rubbing against the ground made Federer frown.
"This is a high-speed return!" Federer has accurately judged this point with his voice. He did not dare to have the slightest carelessness and swiped with his forehand. He responded carefully.
When the racket is in contact with the tennis ball, there is a feeling of flutter on the racket, which is caused by the high-speed rotation of the tennis ball.
"Sure enough, this rotation is no less than Nadal's forehand. Zhang Guan's forehand can really play this high-rotation return. Fortunately, he does not use Nadal's bottom line defensive play. . Or else it really takes some effort!" Federer thought to himself.
This time Federer returned the ball very cautiously, and at the same time, it gave up the initiative of the server, and the two sides began a phase of stalemate. However, Federer is a bit slow after all, and he hasn't mastered the goal of the ball twice. Was seized the opportunity by Zhang Guan, and then scored a goal.
"Federer's opening two shots were a bit too conservative. The last return, the landing point can be more extreme. We all know that Zhang Guan is a fast moving player, the kind of ball just now. It is difficult to pose a threat to Zhang Guan, Federer should play more aggressively." An interpreter said.
"I think Federer hasn't entered the game yet. We all know that Federer is sometimes slower and hotter. He last lost in Sydney half a month ago. He lost to Roddick in that game. , And one of the reasons for losing is that he was slow and hot at the beginning of the game. He did not enter the game quickly, so Roddick was caught off guard. Now for Zhang Guan, it is actually a good opportunity. If If you can seize this opportunity to get a break, it will be more beneficial for the first set of games." Another commenter said.
Behind 0-30, Federer on the court finally felt a trace of pressure. He held his breath, focused, and delivered a ball. Opposite Zhang Guan started immediately, but still did not catch up with the flying tennis, Federer pulled back a goal.
"ACE! 15-30." The referee announced the score.
"ACE ball! Okay, the first ACE ball in this game. After two consecutive turnovers, Federer sent a total of ACE balls, looking at Federer's beginning to find the feel!" The commentator Said.
Zhang Guan looked at the ball speed display on the sidelines. The speed of this ball was not fast, only 195 kilometers.
"The speed is only 195 kilometers per hour, but the landing point of this ball is really too tricky. It almost bounced from the ground and went out of bounds. Although the speed of the ball is not fast, it is still impossible to catch it."
This is the characteristic of Federer's serve. The speed of the ball is not the fastest, but the change is the most, and the most difficult to catch. Once Federer can perfectly deliver this ball, unless the direction of the ball is judged in advance, Otherwise, it is impossible to get it.
"Federer's serve feel has recovered somewhat. The next goal is to bet on Federer's placement." Zhang Guan thought about it while watching Federer's serve. While Federer was swinging, Zhang Guan's body had already started to move .
"The action of Zhang Guan is too early, the ball hasn't come yet, is it still moving? No, he is guessing the ball's landing point!" Many senior fans have judged the intention of Zhang Guan, they were stunned Eyes, watching the field.
The tennis ball landed, but Zhang Guan at this time has already appeared on the trajectory of tennis flight.
"Zhang Guan is right!"
This ball, Zhang Guan's luck is very good, he guessed the ball's drop point, he stood in advance, and then a strong forehand hit directly to attack the diagonal.
This scene was somewhat unexpected by Federer. He instantly realized that Zhang Guan had guessed the right place of the ball, and then hurried to catch the ball. Federer used a backhand to cut the ball across the net, but this also Give Zhang Guan the opportunity to go online.
With Zhang Guan's online awareness, he certainly would not let this opportunity go. Although before the game, Zhang Guan also decided not to surf the Internet easily, but when the opportunity came, it should still be worth it. I saw that Zhang Guan came to the net in small steps , Volleyed in front of a beautiful net to win this goal.
"Awesome! This ball is beautiful! Zhang Guan now has two break points!" Su guide couldn't help shouting.
On the spot, many spectators did not respond, and the game only started a few minutes. Federer was scored by Zhang Guan, and it was still two.
"What's going on? This is Federer's serve, shouldn't Federer hang his opponent all the way? How did he get the break point first by Zhang Guan!"
Whether it was on the spot or in front of the TV, many Federer fans felt a little weird. Federer's Australian Open from the first round to the semi-finals has not lost a set all the way to the final, but instead To be broken by the opponent.
Federer finally began to feel a bit of pressure. He did not worry about losing the game, but felt that if he was broken in the first game, it would be more passive in the back, and it might be difficult to play.
"Oh!" Federer yelled rare, tennis has appeared in the half of Zhang Guan.
Although Zhang Guan successfully received the ball, it somewhat underestimated the rotation strength of the ball. As a result, the ball hit the net and Federer scored a serve and the score came to 30-40.
Federer eased his pressure by scoring a successful serve, but at this time Zhang Guan still holds a break point, so for Federer, the next ball still needs to be played well.
"Oh!" Federer sipped again. This time his serve almost duplicated the last one. The speed is very fast, the landing point is very good, and there is a certain rotation.
Zhang Guan is a good learner this time. He guessed that the ball will have a certain rotation, so he reduced the force a little, and used a backhand ball to hit Federer’s frontcourt, which canceled out part of the rotation. .
"Did you use a forehand to catch the ball, use the backhand to cut the ball? Similar to me." Federer made the same choice, he also used the backhand to cut back the ball, but the ball's landing point was more Close to the edge and closer to the frontcourt.
Federer rarely uses forehand cuts, but backhand cuts are occasionally used, because they rarely score directly, so players like Federer who prefer offense play do not like slow pace Chop.
Zhang Guan caught up with the ball and then picked up the wrist. The tennis ball flew to Federer's backcourt, but the experienced Federer had already seen this.
"Good opportunity!" Federer saw a forehand on the other side of the Zhang Guan half-time while swinging with his forehand.
"It's there! The high ball is transferred to the backcourt, and Zhang Guan will certainly not be able to catch up!" Federer swings, the ball changes line and flew along the other side.
Zhang Guan also anticipates that Federer will attack his own neutral gear. While Federer hits the ball, he has already rushed towards the neutral gear position.
"You cannot catch up with such a long distance!" Federer was ready to celebrate, but Zhang Guan made a move that surprised him.
I saw Zhang Guan jumping in a horizontal motion, and then aiming at the tennis ball is a split.
"What? This action is..." Federer's eyes widened and he looked at Zhang Guan with a certain lack of attention.
With a buckle, the tennis ball hit the ground directly at a small angle and then flew out of bounds.
"Really that technique! He actually learned this technique!" Federer took a breath. "The high-pressure ball after the lateral jump in motion, yes, this is the technique. This is Sampras. In addition to Sampras, there is no second athlete in the world who can master this technology! Zhang Guan actually understands this trick!"
There are many similarities between high-pressure ball technology and serve technology~IndoMTL.com~Generally, good players, high-pressure ball technology will not be bad, and before the net player, high-pressure ball is of course a required course. The top technology in the high-pressure ball is to jump high or low in the horizontal or vertical direction during the movement.
This technology sounds easy, but it is actually very difficult to achieve. Even in the era when it is very popular to play in front of the net, only Sampras can use this technology proficiently in the world. With the retirement of Sampras and the decline of play before the net, no player in the world can master this technology anymore. Federer, who has become the most comprehensive technology, cannot use this technology proficiently.
"Zhang Guan can actually do this trick, but this is Sampras' unique skill! And Zhang Guan will also use Sampras's pre-net play, what is his relationship with Sampras? Is the tennis technique of Zhang Guan taught by Sampras? When did he and Sampras get together?"
Federer frowned and looked at the score. The first game of the two sides was over, and he had been broken by Zhang Guan. (To be continued.)
