Chapter 1080 High Altitude Intercept
At this time, Li Ba had already moved to the midpoint. As soon as Safin's hitting action came out, he immediately continued to turn to the right, started the first step in the front, and then clapped with one hand and pulled with the forehand.
With a bang, the ball flew to Safin's right half, and Li Ba hit a forward slash topspin.
Just like Li Ba just now, Safin ran from left to right, but he was old and slow, and barely completed the catch. The ball bounced high and fell to the opposite teeing area.
Li Ba caught up, took off directly, and carried out a high-altitude interception.
There was only a bang, and with a powerful volley in the air, the ball hit the opposite left half and bounced off the baseline.
"2:0." The chief judge shouted.
"The hammer still wins by the speed of the ball. If Safin's speed is as fast as three or four years ago, the quality of the return will be higher, and the hammer will not have the opportunity to volley in the half." Federer secretly said.
At the same time, he noticed Safin's serve return and felt that this was indeed an unavoidable solution.
He looked at the speedometer again. This time the second serve reached 203, reaching the speed of the top tennis player's first serve, but it was lower than the average speed of Li Ba's first serve in the first round. The main reason for the ball.
He knew very well that if Li Ba raised the speed of the second serve to 220, even if he retreated a few steps earlier, it would be too late.
In the right half, Li Ba made a shot.
"boom!"
"ACE!"
"3:0." The chief judge shouted.
"Clap clap clap..."
Fierce applause erupted from Court No. [-] again.
The speed of the ball reached 251, which has surpassed the original world record, and everyone who saw it shook their heads in amazement.
Safin had no choice but to take the gamble. He retreated three steps ahead of time, plus the original one step, it was four steps. He withdrew to a position four meters behind the field, but he still did not catch up with the speed of the first shot.
Li Ba came to the left half of the field again, ready to serve.
"Bang!"
"Wrong!" the referee yelled.
As soon as Li Ba sent out the ball, the speed of the ball exceeded 250 again, and he began to prepare for the second serve.
"boom!"
"ACE!"
"yeah!"
4:0, hit three ACE balls and secured the serve. Li Ba swung his racket excitedly.
He deliberately increased his speed in the second serve this time, and it was a gamble. Otherwise, it would be a trouble for him to let Safin catch the ball. He is not good at playing stalemate, and he does not have that skill.
Safin swung his racket angrily, the feeling of not being able to catch the ball was too bad.
The speed of the second serve actually reached 224 this time. How can I catch the ball?Who can catch it?
Djokovic looked at the speedometer, 224, this number made him feel extremely dazzling.
If it was him on the court, he probably wouldn't be able to catch such a ball. This is not a ball speed that people can react to at all, but this is still a second serve.
The second shot, the second shot, the thought of the second shot, he felt a kind of fear from the bottom of his heart.
1:1, Li Ba succeeded in securing the serve, and the two continued to fight without changing sides.
The next day, the two fell into a hard fight.
Safin's technique is top-notch, and Li Ba's other skills are average except for his serve, and he has never been able to break his opponent. Similarly, his serve is too strong, and he does not give Safin a chance to break serve.
The two sides came and went, and the game was tied at 6.
Wimbledon implements a long set for the final set, and a short set for the non-final set, which is the tie-break.
The so-called long set system means that after 6 draws, one side has to win two games in a row to win this set.
The tie-break means that after 6 draws, whoever wins the 7th game will win the first set.
Now Li Ba and Safin have a tie-break in the first set. With his strong serving ability, Li Ba successfully won the tie-break and won the first set.
With the tie-break victory, Li Ba won the second set and entered the third set.
But Safin is old and strong, and Li Ba has too little tennis experience. This is the second match. In the next two sets, he made many mistakes and lost two sets in a row. The two sides entered the final set.
In the deciding set, the two tied six to six, and then entered the long-set deciding game, that is, one side had to win two games in a row to win the final victory.
In the long-set decisive victory, the two succeeded in holding serve three times each, and actually reached a 9:9 tie.
Li Ba's main tactic today is to serve to win. The average first serve speed has reached 247, and the success rate has been affected. This is also the most important reason why he lost the third and fourth sets.
But his average speed of the second serve has increased to 220, which increases his second serve deterrence. The success rate of this ball speed is also good, which is also the reason why he can persist until now.
After the tie, it was Safin's turn to serve again.
In the right half, prepare for the first serve.
"boom!"
Safin hits the ball flat, which is determined by his height and strength, and he is a player who hits the ball hard.
At the outside corner, Li Ba pulled a straight topspin with his forehand.
Safin ran from right to left in a hurry, without a chance to hit the ball flat, he rushed out of the court, sliced the ball with a backhand, and hit a backslash, forcing Li Ba to move from right to left.
Immediately after Li Ba received the serve, he grabbed the net.
In the first [-] innings, he also tried to grab the net repeatedly, but there were very few chances of successfully hitting the net, because Safin's ball control was very good, and most of them were flat shots. The ball was fast and full of penetration. It has already penetrated his defense, which is an important reason why he cannot break serve.
But he still has to insist on grabbing the net, because his baseline skills are not as good as his front-net skills, and his advantage is not as great as that at the net.
Safin's slice, that is, the backspin, gave Li Ba a chance.
Backspin, that is, backspin, has a characteristic. It is not high, and is the opposite of topspin. It is close to the block. If you hit the net quickly, you have a chance to intercept this kind of ball.
The quality of Li Ba's return ball just now was good, forcing Safin to take two steps out of the baseline before receiving the ball, which gave him a chance to complete the net.
He rushed to a position more than one meter away from the block and had already completed the net. At this time, he saw the ball was sliced back, and the height was only up to his chest. He instinctively made a backhand block and blocked the ball back.
In this block, the ball fell to the opposite right half. After the second jump, Safin failed to return.
"0:1." The chief judge shouted.
Safin came to the left half, ready to serve.
"mistake!"
Once out of bounds, Safin prepares for a second serve.
Li Ba stands in the left half, one step behind the baseline, because he has enough wingspan, so he stands in the middle, and there is no extension line too close to the sideline.
Safin threw the ball. At this moment, Li Ba suddenly took the first step forward, threw himself into the field, and then continued to take a step forward.
Safin hit the ball. To be on the safe side, the speed of the second serve was not fast, and he served a topspin ball.
Li Ba kept staring at Safin and saw that it was a topspin serve. After he took the second step, he jumped up and volleyed in the air.
With a bang, like hitting a fly, Li Ba hit the ball accurately, and the ball receded in response, hitting the center line like a shooting star.
