Chapter 1078 Against former world No. [-] Safin
At this time on the third court, Yan Zhi, who had just finished the game, was a little frustrated. She was eliminated in the first round.
"260 kilometers per hour? 30 aces?"
Looking at her Korean coach Cui Xijun, Yan Zhi's tongue was almost bitten off by herself. She didn't expect Li Ba to play tennis so well.
Nodding his head, Cui Xijun still said with surprise on his face: "No one thought that the hammer's serving skills would be so strong."
Yan Zhi looked at Cui Xijun, the coach's salary is very expensive, as high as 10 U.S. dollars per week, nearly [-] RMB per month, which is her biggest expense, and her ability is good, but she still can't compare with a coach like Zhang Depei of.
Like Yan Zhi, Peng Shuai was also eliminated in the first round. At this time, he also learned the news of Li Ba's match from the media, and was equally shocked.
Zheng Jie's first round of competition is tomorrow morning, and she is still training. She didn't know about Li Ba's competition until Peng Shuai called her to tell her.
"He's so good at tennis? Oh my god, 260 kilometers, how fast is that! What's the speed of a Porsche?"
Zheng Jie said in surprise.
The next day, Gao Yuanyuan flew to New York on the earliest plane, and the 09 draft began.
On this day, Zheng Jie and Li Na eliminated their opponents one after another and reached the second round.
There is a six-hour time difference between London and New York. Although there is a live broadcast of the draft here, it doesn't start until two o'clock in the morning. Li Ba's second round will start tomorrow, so he didn't watch it.
At 15:[-] p.m., Liu Baoan notified Li Ba that his opponent in the second round had come out. The [-]th seeded player at this year's Wimbledon was Safin from Russia.
After dinner, Zhang Depei and Liu Baoan sent Li Ba the sorted out materials on Safin.
Zhang Depei said solemnly: "Iron Hammer, Safin is very strong, and he is not at the same level as Montanes. He used to be ranked first in the world."
Nodding his head, Li Ba flipped through the files.
Safin, born in 80, is two years older than him. He is 193 cm tall and weighs 88 kg. He holds the racket with his right hand. He is ranked No. 15 in the world and has 2000 championship titles. Grand Slam Australian Open champion.
Zhang Depei said: "Safin is 29 years old this year, almost 30 years old, but he has announced his retirement plan, and he will retire after the US Open."
Li Ba was taken aback. I am only two years younger, and I have just stepped into professional tennis. Are you going to retire?
Zhang Depei continued: "Although Marat Safin is strong, he is old. He has not entered the top [-] in the world for three years, so he has the idea of retiring. This should be your opportunity. His state has dropped. Terribly.
In addition, he has psychological problems, irritable and irritable. After being out of the game, smashing the racket is his signature move. Psychological problems are his weakness and your strength.
With your current strength, you still need to win based on your strong points, use your serve to keep your serve, and use your front-net skills to break serve.
In addition, he is a strong hitter, and his serve power is also very strong, but it has declined in the past two years. According to the information obtained so far, his first serve speed is between 200 and 205, and his second serve speed is around 165... By the way, he It's still Adi's long-term contract, you and him are a sponsor. "
On June 6th, Li Ba just woke up in the morning. He turned on his phone and saw that Gao Yuanyuan sent him a text message about the draft. Harden in her hand was selected by the Thunder and became this year's No. 30 talent show.
At one o'clock at noon, Li Ba and his party came to Court No. [-] again.
This time there are not so many stars around him. Michael Jackson is preparing for his concert. Some friends also have their own arrangements, but there are also seven or eight people including Tyson, Guo Da, and Emma Watson. come over.
For them, Li Ba's serve is quite shocking and enjoyable to watch, and Li Ba's game attracts media attention, and his game is also equivalent to a show.
In addition to these few people, there were Peng Shuai and Yan Zhi who were eliminated.
Jordan, like Gao Yuanyuan, rushed back to the United States. The Bobcats had a No. 12 pick in their hands, and he went to participate in the draft.
Before the game, the official arranged for Li Ba and Safin to be interviewed by the media together.
Safin is not alone, beside him is his sister Safina, who is also a very famous women's tennis player and the No. [-] seed player in this year's Wimbledon. There is no match today, so she came to cheer for her brother.
Safina's sponsor is also Adidas, the three of them are the same sponsor, and today Adidas also sent Myers, the president of the British headquarters, to support the three of them.
Entering the media interview session, a reporter asked: "Iron Hammer, facing Safin, do you have the confidence to advance?"
"I will never lack confidence." Li Ba said with a smile.
"But your technique has shortcomings. It is very difficult to break serve against Safin, and your serve is not enough to achieve all serve protection. Once you are broken, you have a high possibility of failure." A reporter said.
"What you said is possible, so I said that my goal at Wimbledon this year is only to advance to one round. Now that I have achieved the goal, then in the next match, I will strive to play my strengths and strive to advance again. "Li Ba laughed.
"That is to say, you will strengthen your serve?" said the reporter.
"Yes, I will pursue opportunities to break serve on the basis of keeping serve." Li Ba nodded.
"Marat, what did you do to prepare for the hammer's serve to win?" The reporter asked Safin again.
Safin glanced at Li Ba, and said seriously: "Go all out to win, this is my usual requirement."
In today's game, not only the media gathered, but even many players who did not play today came to watch the game. Among them, Djokovic and Federer were the biggest names. One of them brought his wife and the other brought his girlfriend. The arrival sparked speculation in the media.
At the start of the game, the two guessed the coin, Safin guessed right, asked for the serve, and Li Ba chose the side.
The first game of the first set started with Safin's serve.
In the first game, facing the veteran former No. 4 in the world, Li Ba exposed his technical shortcomings, 1:[-], only scored one point, and was successfully secured by Safin.
After watching this game, Federer and Djokovic breathed a sigh of relief.
In their view, Li Ba's skills are not even up to the level of a first-rate tennis player, at best they are considered second-rate, at best.
Even, in their view, Li Ba's strong physical fitness has become a kind of burden instead, and his strength is too great, which makes him often hit the ball out of bounds.
After switching sides, Li Ba used the time to wipe off his sweat and drink water to think about the next tactics.
Safin's technique is much better than that of Montanes. It is really difficult for him to break serve. In front of this kind of person who is about to retire, he realizes that his tennis strength is really far behind.
Therefore, as long as you try to play out the strengths of your serve and keep your serve, you will have a chance to win.
This is the same as Zhang Depei's tactics before the game. Safin's comprehensive strength is stronger than him, and he can only have a chance if he uses his strongest point to break through.
