Chapter 1104 Winning the Tiebreaker

"Oops, the Hammers have already served... 21 aces in the first set today, and Federer only had two. At this critical moment, he got an ace. Don't be careless, Hammer!" Zhang Sheng shouted.

"It doesn't matter, I have a lot of inventory in hand. The main reason for this ball is that the angle is too tricky." Tong Kexin said with a smile.

In the left half, Federer served.

"boom!"

"mistake."

The serve goes out of bounds and the second serve is ready.

Federer is under pressure, and the quality of his second serve will definitely not be as good as his first serve. With Li Ba's return ability, there is no need to worry about the ACE ball.

"boom!"

From the outside corner, Li Ba's backhand was served with backspin.

The second serve was conservative, not high quality, and without moving, Li Ba turned sideways and backhand straight, steadily pulled the ball towards the opponent's area, and then grabbed the net.

Li Ba's return was of high quality and landed close to the bottom corner. Federer ran from left to right, ran out of the court, received the ball four meters from the baseline and two meters from the sideline extension, and used a diagonal topspin for his forehand. The ball pulls the opponent's zone.

But this return was forced because the running distance was too long, and the ball was not high.

Li Ba also paused at the service line. Seeing that there was no high ball, he quickly started again. He took the first step forward and grabbed the net again. After another step, he jumped up and hit a violent shot with a bang. High-altitude volley of high-pressure ball.

The landing point of the ball was not tricky, just in the middle, but the ball was too fast and too powerful. It bounced off the ground and then directly hit the back net more than six meters away. Federer could only watch and sigh.

"7:2, the tiebreak ends, the first set is 7:6, Li Ba wins."

"Bah bang bang..." The center court burst into applause.

"Beautiful! So beautiful!" Tong Kexin shouted excitedly.

"Roger actually lost, which is really unimaginable." Bill shook his head and sighed at Sky TV.

"But Roger's tie-break ability is really not that good. In fact, I wanted to say it during the tie-break. He should not be able to steal the hammer." Booth said.

Venus analyzed: "The reason why the Hammers' tie-break is so great is that first of all, his psychological quality is the best, his best serve, and the high chance of ace ball, which gives him a psychological advantage; secondly, Roger His tie-break ability is indeed not as good as that of the Hammer; in the end, Roger's performance is always very stable, but the Hammer's performance is more stable, more stable than Roger, and his psychological quality is worse than Roger."

Serena Williams analyzed: "Let's take a look at Hammer's tennis ability. He has the best serve and a better return ability than Djokovic...I don't mean his return technique, but his return ability. This is Two different things.”

Bill nodded and said: "Yes, Iron Hammer has the strongest receiving ability due to his physical condition and accurate hitting ability, but this is not a receiving skill, so his direct scoring rate of receiving serves is not high. , after entering a stalemate, he often loses points. This is an area where the Hammer needs to improve, which wastes his ability to receive the serve. "

Serena Williams continued: "In fact, his serve relies more on his physical condition. Like his return, it is ability rather than technique. It is really talent that determines many things."

The other three smiled bitterly.

Serena Williams added: "In addition to these two abilities, he also has super strong high-altitude volley ability. Yes, it is ability rather than technology.

His skills in front of the net are also average, also relying on his physical condition. But it’s not just physical conditioning in general either.

For example, his ability to hit the ball accurately, this is technology, absolute technology.

With his strong physical condition, coupled with his hitting ability, he has a strong overall tennis strength, so he now beats Roger in a set. "

Bill said at this time: "Let's analyze, what will Roger do to win the hammer?"

Venus said: "First serve, improve the quality of the first serve and reduce the quality of the return of the hammer. This is Roger's absolute advantage after entering the stalemate. He will definitely be able to maintain serve. In the first set just now, he did exactly this , and he did it. It’s just that his tie-break ability is really at the bottom among the top tie-break masters.”

Secondly, on the basis of maintaining serve, look for opportunities to break serve. Specifically, improving the quality of return of serve..."

When Venus said this, she was interrupted by Serena, who shook his head and said: "It's not about improving the quality of return, Venus, the Hammers hit more than 20 ACE balls in one set, which means that in the Hammer's serve game , Roger cannot touch the ball most of the time, so what he needs to improve is not the quality of receiving the ball, but receiving the ball first.”

Venus was startled, then smiled bitterly: "Yes, receive the ball first, then strive to enter a stalemate, and finally strive to break serve. In today's game, if Roger wants to win, he must break serve and never set a tiebreaker. He really Can’t grab the hammer.”

On the court and in the stands, Nadal, Djokovic and Polo were discussing the first situation.

"Djokovic, how do you think Roger should play in the second set?" Polo asked.

"..."

Djokovic felt that he had no thoughts. It had been two days since he lost in the quarter-finals, but he still had not found a way to lose.

But he still has to answer this question, otherwise he will be looked down upon by others. He said: "Roger has no problem with holding serve. His hammer technique is too poor and his ability to break serve is about zero. The most important thing is how to break serve. He has to receive it first. After getting the ball and eating more than 20 aces in one set, I will definitely not be able to break serve.”

"You are so good at returning serve, but you also hit 94 aces." Da Boluo said blankly.

"You will lose more when you play against him." Djokovic said angrily.

"Hehe..." Nadal in the middle laughed.

Djokovic said: "Don't laugh, will you play in the US Open? Will you play in the China Open? You will definitely meet him in the future."

Nadal was stunned and scratched his head.

His serving skills are not as good as Djokovic, let alone Federer, and his receiving skills are not as good as Federer, let alone Djokovic. That is to say, whether it is serving or receiving, he is weaker than a hammer.

His strengths are strong running ability, strong holding ability, strong topspin, and low unforced error rate.

But with a weak start, does he have a chance to enter the stalemate stage?

What's more, Li Ba will only get stronger, so what should he do?

At this time, he suddenly felt a sense of urgency, a strong sense of urgency.

At this time, the second set began.

In this set, Federer tried his best to improve the quality of the first serve and try to increase the first serve scoring rate.

If he enters the second serve, he knows that Li Ba's serve reception quality must be very high, which will make him very passive and unable to play his ability to stalemate. Only when the quality of the first serve is good can he make Li Ba's serve reception quality not high enough, thus giving him an advantage in the stalemate stage.
