Chapter 1092 Game 7
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The ball bounced off the ground instantly, and was blocked on the way up, and instantly bounced back to Li Ba's half of the court.
"Not good!"
Djokovic knew that this serve was still not of good quality and did not hit the sweet spot due to the vibration of the racket.
Sure enough, the ball went directly out of the sideline after passing the net.
"OUT!"
The referee shouted loudly.
"3:0. Game point." The referee shouted.
Shaking his head, Djokovic stood up straight.
That is, his flexibility is excellent. If Li Ba received the ball like him, he might have strained a muscle.
Djokovic's flexibility is the best among top players, better than Federer and Nadal, which is one of the reasons why his serve receiving skills are better than the two.
But now, his serve receiving has encountered serious provocation.
Left half court, first serve.
"Bang! "
Li Ba hit the ball.
At this moment, Djokovic predicted that this serve was an inner corner and a backspin ball. He responded and took a big step forward with his right foot.
At this moment, the ball bounced off the ground.
Sure enough, his prediction was correct. Not only was the direction correct, but the backspin prediction was also correct, because the height of the ball rebounding from the ground was very low.
The next moment, Djokovic's racket was passed to the right front, trying to cut into the rising path of the ball.
But, instinctively, he felt that he was slow.
No, it was not that he was slow, but that the ball was too fast!
But he still received the ball. The moment the racket touched the ball, he followed his feeling and moved it inward. With a forehand fast drive, the ball instantly bounced to Li Ba's half of the court.
But he knew that the quality of this serve was still not high, because the vibration of the racket was very unbalanced and did not hit the sweet spot in the middle, which would affect the direction of the ball.
Sure enough, the next moment, the referee's voice rang: "OUT!"
"Damn it! ”
After swinging his racket hard, Djokovic cursed angrily with his head down.
At this time, the referee's voice sounded: "4:0, one game is over, the first set is 2:1, Li Ba is leading."
In the Beijing CCTV live broadcast room, Zhang Sheng said happily: "From the situation of serving, Tiechui still has the advantage. He didn't let Djokovic get a point in the two serving games."
Tong Kexin smiled and said: "Tichui's serve is really powerful, completely exceeding the limit of Djokovic's serve. Now Djokovic can only rely on luck to complete the serve. "
Zhang Sheng said seriously at this time: "But Tiechui's ability to break serve is still lacking. I'm afraid today will be a war of attrition and many games will be played. "
"It's possible. "Tong Kexin nodded.
As the two said, in the first twelve games, the two took turns to hold serve successfully, and the score was tied at 6. Neither of them could get a break chance, and even the two of them did not get a break point in total. After the score was tied at 6, it entered a tiebreak.
It was Li Ba's turn to serve at this time. He served the first ball, and then Djokovic served two. Each of them took turns to serve two times, until one of them got 7 points first and won by 2 points at the same time, and the tiebreak ended.
Li Ba came to the right half of the court, without any hesitation. He had no habit of dribbling the ball. After seeing Djokovic get ready to receive the ball, he immediately threw the ball up.
His fast-paced serve is also one of the reasons for his super serving ability, which makes his opponents unaccustomed to it.
"Bang! ”
At the moment of hitting the ball, the ball flew to Djokovic's inner corner.
This was an inner corner topspin ball, with a speed of about 220 kilometers per hour, which was both fast and accurate. It was Li Ba's favorite serving speed at present, and it was also the speed that posed the greatest threat to Djokovic's serve.
Djokovic barely received it back. It was a high lob, and the landing point was very deep, in Li Ba's left half.
Li Ba quickly moved to the landing point, and when the ball fell, his body suddenly jumped up, and with a swing of the racket, he blasted a high-pressure ball one meter in front of the baseline.
This was a real high-pressure ball, because Li Ba jumped very high, more than two feet, and the hitting height was close to 4 meters.
With a bang, the ball hit the deep left half of the opponent's left half like a meteor, and after hitting the ground and bouncing, it hit the net more than six meters behind the baseline, and Djokovic failed to move to the position.
"Beautiful! "Zhang Sheng shouted excitedly in the live broadcast room.
"Pa pa pa..."
There was also very warm applause at the scene. This kind of high-altitude volley at the baseline is really rare, or it has never appeared before.
"1:0. "The referee shouted.
The second ball was served by Djokovic, followed by Li Ba's serving position, serving in the left half court, and then the next ball was in the right half court.
Djokovic served an inline backspin, Li Ba forehanded the ball, pulled a strong topspin, and then immediately rushed to the net.
His serve reception today was indeed better than Djokovic's. Whether it was his reaction ability or mobility, or his arm span and accuracy of hitting the ball, they were enough to guarantee the quality of his serve reception to a certain extent, or in other words, his serve reception had at least a foundation, not too bad, not the kind that could not receive the ball, and would not easily let the opponent get an ace.
But unfortunately, he had too little experience, and sometimes there were some problems with his choices, such as choosing to drive when he should slice, choosing to drive when he should hit flat, and still driving when he should drive. Well, what he liked most was to drive hard, which allowed him to exert more power.
Then, coupled with his lack of skills, affected the final quality of his serve reception.
He pulled this ball out of bounds.
"1:1. "The referee shouted.
Then Djokovic served in the right half court.
He hit the outside corner, and it was a backspin ball.
Li Ba pulled back with one hand and hit a straight topspin ball, but it was out of bounds again.
“2:1.” The referee shouted.
Zhang Sheng sighed, “The power of Tiechui is too great. The topspin ball is actually the least likely to go out of bounds.”
Tong Kexin nodded, “He mainly wants to hit a straight line to mobilize Djokovic. If he hits a diagonal line, the ball should not go out of bounds.”
It was Li Ba’s turn to serve the 4th ball. Following Djokovic’s order, he came to the left half court.
“Bang!”
“ACE!”
“2:2.” The referee shouted.
Zhang Sheng said happily, “Tiechui’s serve is really amazing. Djokovic’s serve receiving technique is the best in the world, but he can’t even receive the ball.”
Tong Kexin smiled and said, “This seems to be Tiechui’s 20th ACE ball in this game? An average of 3 per game, too scary! He can still be invincible by serving when facing a top player like Djokovic. Too strong!”
Next, Li Ba came to the right half court and served the second ball of this round.
"Bang!"
This time, he served a flat ball from the outside corner. The force of the shot was less than that of the topspin ball. The ball speed was a little faster than that of the topspin ball, but it was mainly a straight ball with a short path and great penetration.
Ronaldinho tried his best to receive the serve, but he only touched the ball. The ball hit the edge of his racket and then bounced away.
"3:2."
The serve scored, and the referee shouted.
"You got points on the serve, so you're very nervous." Tong Kexin smiled.
"From the point of view of receiving, it should be Hammer who has the advantage." Zhang Sheng smiled.
Tong Kexin nodded and said, "Yes, Hammer's serve has always been good. Djokovic rarely has the opportunity to get an ace. As long as he is lucky, Hammer has a chance to break Djokovic's serve."
