Chapter 1081 The Birth of the Ball-Serving Machine

Safin moved towards the center line after serving, but still failed to catch the ball.

However, the ball was too fast and the referee did not see it clearly. He looked at the referee at the bottom line, who immediately made a strike gesture.

"0:2." The referee shouted.

After scoring two points and having hope of breaking serve, Li Ba waved his racket excitedly.

"So high!"

Federer's heart skipped a beat when he saw Li Ba's high-altitude volley.

The height of such a hit should be about three feet higher than the height of his high-altitude volley, damn! With his elegance, he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

But fortunately, he hits the ball flat a lot, so there won't be such a high ball.

But when he thought of Nadal, he wanted to laugh. Nadal was good at topspin, with a lot of high balls and a very slow rhythm. If he encountered the hammer this time, he would definitely be left with the opportunity for a high-altitude volley like the hammer.

Thinking of this, he immediately reacted and thought to himself: "Well, that's not right. Nadal is in the top half. He is going to meet the hammer. That is the final. Haha, how can I be eliminated by the hammer?"

Seeing this ball, Djokovic couldn't help but swallow. With such a high hitting height, once the hammer guy completes the net, the opponent can only hit the ball high.

Safin came to the right half and prepared to serve.

"boom!"

"mistake!"

The first serve went out of bounds again. Safin shook his head and hit the grass with his racket a little irritably.

Second serve ready.

When the ball was thrown up, Li Ba rushed into the field again, intending to implement an aerial volley.

This is the way he came up with to break the game, using his powerful air blocking ability to counterattack by receiving and serving.

With his hitting height, this kind of return basically won't go out of bounds as long as it doesn't hit the edge of the racket.

"boom!"

Safin's second serve.

The last time his topspin shot was intercepted in the air, this time he changed back to his best flat shot.

After saving the second step, the ball came. Li Ba reacted instantly, blocked the ball with his backhand, and pushed the ball in a straight line.

The ball landed in the left half, close to the center line. Safin quickly moved to the midpoint after serving, and just pulled back with a backhand.

Pulled topspin, lob, pulled backslash.

When he was pulled out, Safin immediately thought of Li Ba's aerial volley ability and immediately regretted it.

At this time, Li Ba was grabbing the net. When he was still two steps away, he jumped up to face the high-altitude ball. With a strong swing of the racket, he struck a fierce blow. With a bang, the ball instantly hit the ball back. Safin's half bounced off the court.

"oh!"

This aerial volley caused huge exclamations to be heard in Court No. 1.

Safin tried his best to run back, but it was useless. The force of the blow was too great, and the ball quickly rebounded and hit the blocker more than six meters behind the baseline.

"yeah!"

After completing this high-altitude volley, Li Ba roared excitedly.

He felt that this was real fly catching because he had a fly swatter in his hand.

"0:3. Game point."

This aerial volley was too fierce. After taking a look at the excited Li Ba, the referee shouted loudly.

About to be broken, Safin stared at Li Ba fiercely for a few seconds, wanting to have another battle of wills.

But it was useless, Li Ba's eyes were more fierce than his.

Left half, one shot.

"boom!"

After a successful first serve, Safin suddenly served a backspin ball.

Li Ba was unskilled and poorly prepared. He didn't expect his opponent to hit the ball with backspin and lacked power, so he caught the ball and hit the net.

"1:3. Game point." the referee shouted.

Returning to the right half, Safin prepared to serve.

Li Ba concentrated on preparing. He was careless just now and did not see his opponent's serving action clearly.

"boom!"

On the first serve, he hit the ball flat and hit the inside corner of Li Ba's backhand. The ball speed should have exceeded 200.

But Li Ba reacted, and his nerve reaction speed was also top-notch, and he forced the straight line with his backhand.

The ball hit the ground and bounced, but Safin missed the second jump.

"OUT." The referee shouted loudly.

"2:3. Game point." the referee shouted.

Safin breathed a sigh of relief. He scored another ball and had a chance to keep serve.

But at this time Li Ba raised his hand and applied for the Eagle Eye Challenge to the chief referee.

All the fans in Court No. 1 looked at the electronic screen. After a few seconds, the replay started.

I hit the line, only a little bit, less than a third of the ball, but I hit the line, and the challenge was successful.

"1:4, the end of the game, the deciding 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 leads one game and can win the final victory as long as it wins one more game.

After changing sides, after a 90-second rest, the two fought again.

This time it was Li Ba's serve. With his serve, it was almost certain that he would be able to hold serve. As long as he could hold serve, he would be able to win the game.

"Guoguo, daddy is about to win this game!"

The girl held a small fan to fan Guoguo. Women at Wimbledon were not allowed to wear hats, and the weather was really sultry.

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 not sleepy at all.

"ACE!"

"ACE!"

Entering his own serving game, Li Ba was full of energy and kept up his efforts. He fired two consecutive aces over 250, which made the somewhat dull No. 1 court burst into warm applause and cheers.

Before Li Ba appeared, there was only one 250-speed serve in the world for so many years, which is why the fans were excited.

Safin was irritable and a little frustrated. He really couldn't react to a serve that was over 250 kilometers per hour.

"Error!"

"Error!"

But then, Li Ba made two serve errors, giving Safin a point, 2:1, leading by 1 point.

Coming to the left half, Li Ba prepared for a serve.

Serving is his advantage. Even if he made two serve errors, he didn't intend to be conservative in this serve.

"Bang!"

The powerful hitting action, even if the technique was not as perfect as Federer's, but the violent factor also made the fans at the scene shine.

"ACE!" the referee shouted.

"Bang!"

The opponent was about to hold the serve, and the angry Safin could no longer control his emotions and smashed the racket.

"Finally smashed it!"

The media reporters around excitedly pressed the shutter. They had been waiting for Safin to smash the racket.

"3:1. Inventory." The referee stared at Safin and shouted.

Finally got the set point, returned to the right half court, and Li Ba prepared for the first serve.

"Bang!"

First serve error, preparing for the second serve.

"Huh!"

After taking a deep breath, Li Ba decided to give it a try. Anyway, if he made another double serve error this time, he still had a set point in his hand.

"Bang!"

"ACE!"

The referee shouted loudly.

"Asshole!"

Safin smashed his racket again.

"4:1, one game is over, the final set is over, 3:2, Li Ba wins." The referee shouted.

There were 20 games in the final set, and Li Ba served 33 aces, 3 more than in the three sets of his first round.

Li Ba made a total of 7 double serve errors in the game, but served a total of 72 aces, ranking third in the history of a single game, with the top two being 103 and 78.

At this time, the media present had already recognized that a real serving machine was born in the tennis world.
