Chapter 1098: Against Federer

"Yes, Director Liu, let's get back to the point, okay?" Li Ba said helplessly.

"Then let's get back to the point." Liu Peng said.

Li Ba said: "Well, I seem to have forgotten what the point was?"

Liu Peng reminded: "You are said to interfere with the personnel of the Sports General Administration."

"Yes, I interfere with the personnel of the Sports General Administration... No, Director Liu, are you setting a trap for me? When did I interfere? I just want the Sports General Administration to send a professional person. We can't let laymen lead professionals. It's not easy for us to achieve some results in these years. Don't get a few people injured. I can't support a national team by myself at that time." Li Ba said.

Liu Peng was speechless. If this is not interference, what is it? Can you think of a new word? The interference is still the appointment of department-level cadres. Are you rebelling?

"By the way, Tiechui, have you received Lawrence's invitation?" he asked.

"I got it. I just came back to participate after playing Wimbledon." Li Ba said.

"You have hope this time." Liu Peng said.

London, 6 pm, the men's singles quarter-finals are over.

Nadal injured his knee in a save and was unable to finish the match. He burst into tears on the spot.

The final semi-final match list, in the lower half, Li Ba vs. Federer, in the upper half, Roddick vs. Murray.

The men's singles semi-final will be held on the 9th, and the women's singles semi-final will be held on the 8th.

Wimbledon also announced the specific arrangements for the match. Li Ba and Federer will play in the semi-finals at the center court at 10 am on the 9th.

On the morning of the 8th, Zheng Jie was eliminated in the semi-finals, ending her trip to Wimbledon. This was also her best singles result at Wimbledon.

On this day, Li Ba practiced in the club and sharpened his skills before the battle.

Zhang Depei repeatedly emphasized Federer's technical characteristics to him: "Federer is right-handed and has a one-handed backhand. Technically, he is very comprehensive, both offensively and defensively."

"Your serve is super strong, but Federer's serve is also top-notch, better than Djokovic, which can be said to be his killer. Of course, he is strong in technology, and you are strong in physical condition now, and your technology needs to be improved."

"Specifically, his serve speed is not the fastest, but his serve is most concerned with angles, very tricky and efficient. This ability of his is what you lack now. If your serve has his tricky and his landing point control, then you will be truly invincible."

"In addition, his forehand can also be said to be a killer. I say killer, not that his other techniques are not strong, but generally strong, but these two techniques are slightly outstanding. His forehand is recognized as the best forehand in history, so you must be vigilant."

"Specifically, his forehand The ball path is varied, the angle is wide, and the landing point is very well controlled. The strength, speed and angle are all perfect. Usually, if the opponent returns the ball to the middle, he has the ability to hit it to death with one shot, and he rarely wastes such an opportunity. This is a big threat to you because your landing point control is not good enough. "

"If he has a weakness, it is the backhand, which is where you can take advantage of it."

"But his backhand is only slightly weaker than the forehand, not really weak. His backhand slice technique is unparalleled, and he also has a backhand slice and forehand combination technique, which is also one of his main playing methods. "

"Specifically, this playing method is to slice the ball with the backhand to the middle or the net, so that the opponent's return quality is not high, and he has the opportunity to use the forehand to hit the opponent's forehand gap in the middle, which is very efficient. In addition, his backhand topspin is also good, you should also pay attention to it, but underestimate his backhand. "

On the morning of the 9th, the semi-final between Li Ba and Federer began.

This semi-final received much more attention than the other semi-final. Before the game, almost all the media were discussing this game, but rarely mentioned the other semi-final. This situation made Roddick and Murray very angry.

Nike was also very annoyed. Djokovic, whom they valued, actually lost to Li Ba. Djokovic's behavior of publicly switching to Nike before the contract was over was also ridiculed by the public opinion. Now Murray, who they just signed, was ignored by the media again, which made them very disappointed. They started all the publicity machines to make a comeback.

Unfortunately, even though Murray is a local player, even though he is the first person in the UK who has the hope of winning the championship in 71 years, only the local media promoted Murray, and other media ignored him.

Roddick was also ignored. He did not sign with Nike or Adidas. He had fewer opportunities to get publicity in the past two days, and all of them were snatched away by people who received more attention.

I didn't let Yatou and Guoguo go to the court today. Li Ba estimated that it would take a long time and the court was too hot.

At 9 o'clock, when Li Ba entered the court, he was surrounded by the media.

"Hammer, do you have the confidence to beat Federer?"

"Roger is very strong and is the best tennis player now, but as long as the opportunity is good, I can beat anyone."

"Hammer, will your serve feel continue to be that good today?"

"Maybe it will be better. I have always relied on strength instead of luck or touch. My performance has always been stable."

"Hammer, do you hope to win the Wimbledon championship this year?"

"That is not my goal this year, but if the opponent cooperates, if it comes to that, why not?"

"Hammer, many casinos have opened handicaps for this semi-final, and the odds generally favor Federer. What do you think of this?"

"I don't have any opinion. I also think Roger's overall strength is stronger. Of course, the result of the game is not predetermined. It is not a competition of paper strength. I hope there will be unexpected results. I believe you think so too, because Surprises are always welcome.”

"Have you ever placed a bet?"

"The casino is not brave enough, the odds are too low, and there is no interest."

A little behind, Federer also entered the center court, and there were many media surrounding him.

"Roger, Djokovic, whose return ability is better than yours, allowed the Hammers to hit 94 ACE balls. So how will you deal with the Hammers' serve? Do you have the confidence to break serve?"

"There will be break opportunities."

"What do you think of Hammer's ability to return serve? Do you think Hammer has the ability to break your serve?"

"His reaction speed is very fast and his physical condition is very good, so his serve-receiving ability is indeed very strong. I may not be able to hit many aces today, which is really a problem. As for whether he can break my serve, his serve-receiving ability does not mean breaking serve. Ability, I believe that my skills can achieve guaranteed results.”

Today, many stars from all walks of life came to the center court.

Many Hollywood stars came over from the United States. Sharapova, who had been eliminated in the second round, was sitting in the stands, as well as Nadal, who had retired due to injury, Polo, who had just lost to Federer, and Li Keqiang, who had just lost to Federer. Dam eliminated Djokovic and so on.

This time, many celebrities from China came over. This was impossible before, but as long as Li Ba is here, this is their show venue.
