$ 1100 Such a Backhand Is Also Called Weak?

Li Ba was very happy. He had won two game points in a row. As long as he could get one more point, he would probably break the serve.

He stood one step behind the midpoint of the left half baseline, ready to receive the serve.

When receiving the ball, most tennis players would alternate their feet before the opponent threw the ball to hit it, so that they could react in the shortest time.

But Li Ba didn't do that. He just stood there, locked the ball, and then took the first step at the first moment.

"His first step may be the fastest in the world, I mean all standing events, even the 100 meters." Sky TV, Venus said at this time.

"So fast?" Bill and Booth said in surprise.

In the left half, that is, the second zone, Federer hit at this time.

Flat shot, the inside line, large angle, relatively fast ball speed, very penetrating.

Along the baseline, Li Ba started the first step on the right wing with all his strength, sideways forehand shot, and pulled the ball back on the way up.

This time his return was very fast, pulling a forehand diagonal line to the position where the opponent had just served.

There are several types of return ball paths, first divided into zone 1 and zone 2, then divided into diagonal and straight lines, and then divided into forehand and backhand, that is, eight types of return ball paths.

The so-called diagonal line means that zone 1 pulls zone 1 (the opponent's zone 1), zone 2 pulls zone 2, and pulls diagonally.

The so-called straight line means that zone 1 pulls zone 2, zone 2 pulls zone 1, and pulls the opposite side.

The eight types of return ball paths are the forehand straight line and forehand diagonal line in zone 1, the backhand straight line and backhand backhand diagonal line in zone 1, the forehand straight line and forehand backhand backhand diagonal line in zone 2, and the backhand straight line and backhand diagonal line in zone 2.

Federer just moved to the midpoint, and when he saw the ball path, he turned back and turned around. At this time, the ball hit the ground and bounced, and he backhanded it.

As he sliced ​​the ball, his body immediately followed the inertia, turned around again, and rushed to the midpoint position.

"Pay attention to his backhand slice and forehand coordination. This is his classic style of play."

Li Ba really started to rush to the net after receiving the serve. Seeing his opponent's backhand slice, the analysis data given to him by Zhang Depei flashed in his mind.

The ball was thrown up, crossed the net, and fell to a position more than one meter in front of the net. The highest point was actually on Federer's side, which shows that his slice is really unparalleled.

The ball landed four meters away from the serving line and nearly ten meters away from the baseline. The rebound was not high. Li Ba rushed to the net and lifted the ball with his forehand.

The ball landed in the half court. Federer caught up two steps and returned a fierce flat shot on the way the ball fell.

This is his specialty and also his unique skill against Nadal.

He actually does not have an advantage against Nadal. Nadal's topspin is too good, but he still has this flat shot, which often catches Nadal off guard.

This half-court flat shot is fast and penetrating, and it flashed past Li Ba's left side in an instant.

But at this moment, Li Ba made the fastest reaction. Tens of millions of times of fly catching training made him form the strongest fly catching instinct. He instantly backhanded the ball and accurately received it.

However, at this time, he felt the disadvantage of the built-in fly swatter, that is, the lack of control when holding the swatter.

If he had chosen an external fly swatter, he would definitely be more adapted to tennis now.

This return ball bounced off the net and turned into a half-high ball, and then Federer caught up and hit a high-pressure ball.

Now Li Ba's reaction was too fast.

"4:2, the end of the first game, the first set is 1:0, Federer is leading." The referee shouted.

Zhang Sheng explained in the live broadcast room: "Federer is in a really good state today. All the first serves were successful, and there was not a single second serve."

Tong Kexin smiled and said: "The technical weakness of the hammer still exists, and it is still very rough. Otherwise, it may not be impossible to break the serve in this game."

Changing sides, the game continued.

Li Ba picked up three balls and came to the right half zone to prepare for the first serve.

This time, his serving position has changed. It used to be one foot behind, but now it is behind the baseline, just like everyone else.

The reason why he retreated one foot before was because his hitting power was too strong, but he slowed down since the last game, so he can go back to the baseline.

Behind the baseline, even if he does not jump, his hitting height advantage will increase further, of course, the increase is not much.

"Hey, the serving position of the hammer has moved forward?" Zhang Sheng was very sensitive to this change.

"Bang!"

Inside corner, topspin, the ball speed is controlled at about 225.

Hitting the inside corner is because Li Ba wants to attack the opponent's backhand, so that Federer's speed of receiving the serve will be slower, and he has a greater chance of hitting an ace.

Sure enough, Federer did not receive this ball.

"ACE." The referee shouted loudly.

Federer glanced at Li Ba and was shocked.

Watching the game and playing in person are completely different. It feels bad to not receive the ball. He can now understand Djokovic's feelings.

The day before yesterday, Djokovic ate ​​94 ACE balls. I wonder how many he will eat today?

Left half court, first serve.

"Bang!"

Flat hit, still hit Federer's backhand, to the outside corner.

The quality of the first serve today is good, this ball did not go out of bounds, hit the sideline.

Federer rushed out of the baseline, but could not receive this ball, it was too fast.

"ACE." The referee shouted.

"2:0." The chief referee shouted.

On Sky TV, Venus Williams analyzed: "According to the state of Tiechui's serve, whether it is the first or second serve today, he has a great chance to serve an ace. He is really very stable, just like playing basketball. So Roger must be mentally prepared today. It will be very difficult to break. He must seize the first possible break opportunity, especially not to waste the break point."

Right half court, first serve.

Li Ba hits a flat shot again. Now the ball speed is reduced, and the serve position is closer to the baseline. He has a little stronger control over the landing point of the flat shot.

He hits the inner corner and hits the opponent's backhand.

Unfortunately, the landing point of this serve is not well controlled. It did not go out of bounds, but it was biased to the middle point of the right half court and was cut back by Federer's backhand.

Federer cut another ball in front of the net. He didn't throw it too high, just enough to pass the net. The landing point control is really good. It is also in front of the net, almost close to the net and landed in Li Ba's half court.

Li Ba desperately rushed to the net. After arriving, he picked up the ball, but it was too close and hit the net.

Although he has an advantage at the net, it refers to the net volley, not including these delicate net techniques.

"2:1." The referee shouted.

"This guy, this backhand is also called weak?"

Li Ba sighed, this backhand is called weak, then his backhand is called scum? Well, it is indeed very scum now.

Left half court, first serve.

"Bang!"

Topspin, inside line.

"Error." The referee shouted.

"Ah, out of bounds, this is the first first serve error for both sides." Zhang Sheng shouted.

"Handle the iron hammer serve well, this is your strongest point and the only chance to win!" Tong Kexin shouted.
