Chapter 295 My Routine

Zhang Guan came to the midfield, swung his racket, and hit a small angled slash.

Faced with such a small angled diagonal ball, Federer had no choice but to rush forward and barely catch the ball.

"Midfield interception, will it catch the net?" Federer turned his head and found that Zhang Guan had already run to the net while returning the ball.

"Sure enough, it's a net with the ball after the interception in the midfield!" Federer sighed secretly. He stopped and didn't try to continue to catch the ball, because Federer knew where Zhang Guan's next ball would land, and he couldn't run no matter what. neutral position.

Sure enough, Zhang Guan hit the ball diagonally behind Federer, and the tennis ball landed precisely within bounds. Zhang Guan won the ball and also won the second game.

Federer dropped another game, but he had a strange feeling in his heart.

The vast majority of tennis volleys are in front of the net. The volley in front of the net is a very important part of the net technology, but not all balls are suitable for volleys in front of the net, so there is a midfield interception of this technology.

However, there is a certain distance between the midfielder and the net, and the return angle is more inclined to catch the ball from the bottom line, so the interception in the midfielder is far less lethal than the volley in front of the net, and it is almost impossible to kill with one hit. So the ball king Sampras invented a routine, that is, follow the ball to the net after a midfield volley, which can be regarded as a strain in Sampras's net play.

The style of playing with the ball after the midfield volley has very high technical requirements. Since the retirement of the world champion Pete Sampras, there are fewer and fewer players who use this technique in front of the net, and the players who can use this technique more skillfully come less and less. Among the active players, there is only one person who can use this trick to perfection, and that is Federer.

Although Federer likes to catch the ball at the bottom line, as an offensive player with comprehensive skills, Federer's offensive methods of course also include midfield volleys and follow the ball to the net, and Federer's use of this technique is not weaker than San Plath, in the game, too many opponents have lost to Federer's move.

Today, in front of Federer, Zhang Guan used this set of volleys in the middle and then followed the ball to the net. It was like a martial arts master being defeated by his best stunt. Of course, Federer would have a strange feeling in his heart.

"What's the matter, isn't this my style of play! Zhang Guan is using my style of play." Federer frowned a little unhappily, and then he looked at the score. In the first set, he was already 0- 2 is behind.

"I can't lose anymore, I have to keep serve in the next game."

...

In the ESPN studio, Sampras stared at Zhang Guan on the broadcast screen with wide eyes.

"After the interception in midfield, Zhang Guan followed the ball to the net. Zhang Guan used my style of play! Zhang Guan chose a good timing, and it didn't insult my technique!" Sampras sighed silently in his heart.

In sports, even the same technology has different representations in different eras, such as the fadeaway jumper in basketball. In the 1990s, people would definitely think of Jordan when they mentioned the fadeaway jumper. If a player completes a beautiful fadeaway jumper, he will definitely be called a "Jordan-like fadeaway jumper"; in the 21st century, people think of Kobe when they mention a fadeaway jumper. , will be regarded as "Kobe-like fadeaway jumper".

The same is true of tennis. If a midfielder intercepts and then goes to the net with the ball, if it was placed in the 1990s, it would belong to Sampras' style of play, but in the first decade of the 21st century, it will become Federer's style of play, including the two users of Sampras and Federer, also thinks that this style of play belongs to their own.

At this time, the voice of the ESPN commentator sounded: "The second game between the two sides is over. Zhang Guan temporarily leads Federer with a score of 2-0. I think this result is something that many people did not expect. Mr. Sampras, Can you comment on the two games just now?"

"Okay." Sampras came back to his senses, and then said: "From the beginning, Federer was a bit slow, so he made some mistakes; while Zhang Guan seized several important opportunities, This is also the key to his ability to take the lead. But after all, the game has just begun, and I think the next two athletes will bring us a very intense game."

"Intense competition? Do you mean that Federer will be in a tough fight?" The commentator's tone was a little suspicious.

"I know that before the game, many people were not optimistic about Zhang Guan. The reason why everyone was not optimistic about Zhang Guan was not because Zhang Guan was weak, but because Federer was too strong. But I think the difference between Zhang Guan and Federer Between them, the strength gap is not as big as everyone imagined, and the two are likely to be at the same level." Sampras said.

"Oh, Mr. Sampras really has unique insights." The commentator smiled, and continued: "But Federer's recent form is very good! This year's Australian Open, he advanced from the first round to the final. Drop a set and win 3-0 every game."

"Zhang Guan also didn't lose a set, and won every game 3-0." Sampras then added: "And Zhang Guan's opponents are not weak, Gonzalez, Davydenko, Haas, Nalbandian, and Grosjean, Zhang Guan defeated five seeded players in total, and finally advanced to the final, and his path to promotion seems to be more difficult than Federer's."

The commentator nodded: "You're right. Judging from the results of the two sides advancing to the finals, it is indeed evenly matched! The third game between the two sides is about to start, let's turn the screen back to the scene of the game!"

...

In the arena, Federer started his second serve.

"Drink!" Federer raised his hand and it was an ACE ball, which was the first to win.

In the next serve, although Federer did not score directly through the serve, he gained the advantage on the court through the serve, and then continued to press the forehand to win another goal.

The score came to 30-0, Federer started very smoothly, but on the next ball, Federer made a mistake on the first serve, and the second serve was blocked by Zhang Guan. After a few shots, Federer tried to attack Zhang Guan's backhand, but the direction was not well controlled. Jiang Qiu hit out of bounds and was pulled back by Zhang Guan.

"Did Federer attack my backhand just now?" Zhang Guan could feel that Federer had found the state of the game, and he would soon use his best tactic.

I saw Federer serving for the fourth time. This time, Federer sent directly to Zhang Guan's backhand position.

Zhang Guan had no choice but to fight back with a backhand, which was obviously expected by Federer. He began to use a forehand to force Zhang Guan's backhand.

"Sure enough, it's Federer's most commonly used tactic!" Zhang Guan was a little helpless. Although his backhand was good, it must still be worse than Federer's forehand.

Federer continued to force Zhang Guan to backhand, and Zhang Guan gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Suddenly, Federer moved his forehand, and the ball landed almost along the sideline. Zhang Guan wanted to chase it, but it was too late!

"40-15!" The referee announced at the same time, the audience also gave Federer warm applause.

"I guessed right. Federer really started to use this style of play. Force the backhand and then mobilize the forehand. This move can undoubtedly exert the greatest power in Federer's hands. As long as Federer does not take the initiative to make mistakes, I'm afraid It is very difficult to break this trick!"

Zhang Guan took a deep breath. He knew that Federer had found his touch. The flawless peak Federer finally appeared after two games!
