Chapter 1081 The Birth of the Serving Machine
Safin moved to the center line after serving, but still missed the ball.
However, the ball was too fast, and the referee didn't see it clearly. He looked at the referee on the baseline, and the latter immediately made a strike gesture.
"0:2." The chief judge shouted.
After scoring two points and promising a break, Li Ba swung his racket excitedly.
"So high!"
Federer's heart skipped a beat when he saw Li Ba's high-altitude volley.
Such a hitting height should be about three feet higher than his high-altitude volley height, damn it!With his elegance, he couldn't help but swear in his heart.
But fortunately, he uses a lot of flat shots, so he won't have such a high ball.
But when he thinks of Nadal, he wants to laugh. Nadal is good at topspin, with a lot of high balls and a very slow pace. If he meets the hammer this time, he will definitely leave the hammer with a high-altitude volley.
Thinking of this, he immediately came to his senses, and said to himself, "Well, no, Nadal is in the upper half, and if he meets the hammer, it will be the final. Haha, how could I be eliminated by the hammer?"
Seeing the ball, Djokovic couldn't help swallowing. With such a high hitting height, once the Hammer guy finishes hitting the net, the opponent can only put the ball high.
Safin came to the right half, ready to serve.
"boom!"
"mistake!"
Once the serve went out of bounds again, Safin shook his head and hit the grass with his racket a little irritablely.
Second shot ready.
When the ball was thrown up, Li Ba rushed into the field again, intending to execute an air volley.
This is the way he came up with to break the game, using his powerful air blocking ability to counterattack the serve.
With his hitting height, this kind of return, as long as it doesn't hit the edge of the racket, basically won't go out of bounds.
"boom!"
Safin's second shot.
The last time the topspin was volleyed in the air, this time he changed back to his best flat shot.
The second step was saved, the ball came, Li Ba reacted instantly, parried with a backhand, and pushed the ball in a straight line.
The ball landed in the left half, close to the center line. After serving, Safin quickly moved to the center point, just in time to pull back with a backhand.
Pulled topspin, lob, pulled backslash.
When pulling it out, Safin immediately thought of Li Ba's ability to intercept in the air, and immediately regretted it.
At this time, Li Ba was trying to grab the net, and when he was two steps away, he jumped up to meet the high-altitude ball, swung his racket vigorously, and made a fierce kick, and with a bang, the ball smashed back instantly. Safin's half bounced off the field.
"Oh!"
This mid-air volley caused a great exclamation from Stadium No. [-].
Safin ran back desperately, but it was useless. The kick was too powerful, the ball rebounded quickly, and hit the block more than six meters behind the baseline.
"yeah!"
After completing this high-altitude volley, Li Ba roared excitedly.
He felt that this was the real fly trap, because he had a fly swatter in his hand.
"0:3. Game point."
This aerial interception was too fierce, the chief judge shouted loudly after glancing at the excited Li Ba.
About to be broken, Safin stared fiercely at Li Ba for a few seconds, and he wanted to have another contest of will.
But it's useless, Li Ba's eyes are more fierce than his.
Left half, one serve.
"boom!"
After a successful serve, Safin suddenly sent a backspin ball.
Li Ba's technique was not good enough, and he was also insufficiently prepared. He didn't expect that his opponent was backspinning the ball, and the power of hitting the ball was insufficient, so he caught the ball and dropped it into the net.
"1:3. Game point." The chief judge shouted.
Back in the right half, Safin prepares to serve.
Li Ba concentrated on his preparations. He was careless just now and didn't see his opponent's serve movement clearly.
"boom!"
On the first serve, hit the ball flat and hit Li Ba's backhand inside corner, the speed of the ball should exceed 200.
But Li Ba came to his senses, his nerve reaction speed was also top-notch, and he pulled a straight line with his backhand.
The ball bounced off the ground and jumped twice, but Safin missed it.
"OUT." The referee shouted loudly.
"2:3. Game point." The chief judge shouted.
Safin breathed a sigh of relief, scored another goal, and still had a chance to keep serve.
But at this moment Li Ba raised his hand and challenged the presiding judge with Eagle Eye.
All the fans in Stadium No. [-] looked at the electronic screen, and after a few seconds, the replay began.
Smashing the line, only a little bit, less than a third of the ball, but it was indeed a smashing line, and the challenge was successful.
"1:4, the game is over, and in the final set, Li Ba takes the lead." The referee shouted.
Taking the lead means that after the final set is tied, according to the rules of the long set system, one side will lead by one game, and as long as they win another game, they can win the final victory.
After switching sides, after a 90-second rest, the two fight again.
This time it was Li Ba's serve game. With his serve, it is basically certain to keep his serve. As long as he completes his serve, he can win the game.
"Guoguo, Dad is about to win this game!"
The girl took a small fan to fan Guoguo. Wimbledon women are not allowed to wear hats, and the weather is really hot.
The little girl has indeed inherited Li Ba's genes and is very interested in sports. In fact, tennis is very boring for a little girl like her, but she is still full of energy and doesn't feel sleepy at all.
"ACE!"
"ACE!"
After entering his own serve, Li Ba was full of energy and made persistent efforts, hitting two consecutive ACEs of over 250, which made the somewhat dull No. [-] court burst into warm applause and cheers.
Before Li Ba appeared, the world had only served 250 once for so many years. This is why the fans were excited.
Safin was irritable and a little frustrated. He really couldn't react to a shot with a speed of more than 250 kilometers per hour.
"mistake!"
"mistake!"
But then, Li Ba made a double error and gave Safin a point, 2:1, leading by 1 point.
Arriving in the left half area, Li Ba was ready to make a shot.
Serving is his advantage. Even if he double-faults, he does not intend to be conservative in his first serve this time.
"boom!"
The powerful hitting action, even if the technique is not as perfect as Federer's, but the violence factor also made the fans at the scene shine.
"ACE!" the referee shouted.
"Bah!"
The opponent was about to save the serve, and the angry Safin could no longer control his emotions and dropped his racket.
"Finally fell!"
The surrounding media reporters pressed the shutter excitedly, they had been waiting for Safin to shoot.
"3:1. Inventory." The chief judge stared at Safin and shouted.
Finally got the inventory, back to the right half, Li Ba is ready to go.
"boom!"
Mistake the first serve, prepare for the second serve.
"call!"
Taking a deep breath, Li Ba decided to give it a go. Anyway, this time he double-faulted, and he still has an inventory in hand.
"boom!"
"ACE!"
The referee shouted loudly.
"asshole!"
Safin dropped his racket again.
"4:1, the game is over, the final set is over, 3:2, Li Ba wins." The chief judge shouted.
There were 20 innings in the deciding set, and Li Ba hit 33 ACEs, 3 more than his three sets in the first round.
Li Ba sent a total of 7 double faults in the game, but he sent a total of 72 ACE balls, ranking third in the history of a single game. The top two are 103 and 78.
The media present at this time has recognized that a real serving machine has been born in the tennis world.
