Capítulo 268: Ticket is worth it!
The audience straightened their necks and stared at the big screen.
On the big screen, the 3D image accurately showed Zhang Guan's serve this time, which just happened to be on the line.
"In the bound! In the bounds again! Zhang Guan's challenge has succeeded! Zhang Guan's three consecutive challenges have succeeded! It's incredible, three consecutive successful challenges, this kind of situation rarely happens, not to mention this is still within one game. If the previous challenge of Haas is successful, there will be four challenges in this round, and all of them have succeeded!" The commentator's words were accompanied by the cheers of the audience, and they were constantly wandering in the Vodafone stadium.
Haas shook his head helplessly. Although Zhang Guan played a love-game in the first game, it looked quite ugly. But after all, it was Zhang Guan's serve game. It was normal to fail to get a break.
On the other hand, the line referee's face was not so pretty. On the tennis court, each successful challenge of the player represents a misjudgment by the referee. It is indeed embarrassing to see four misjudgments in a game, and this game is not the kind of back and forth. In the tug-of-war, Zhang Guan got Haas with four servings. There were four misjudgments in one game. This reason is enough for anyone to question the professionalism of the line referee.
However, no one expressed sympathy for the line referee. Misjudgment was originally a part of the game. As long as it was a person, there would be an error, and so it was common with the referee. However, the tennis game now has a Hawk-Eye system, which allows athletes to challenge the referee's penalty and get a fair result. In some other competitions, even if there is no technical problem, the traditional referee method is still used and no changes are made.
After a short break, the second game of both sides began.
Haas hit the ball a few times while looking at Zhang Guan's position.
"Remember that in the video of Zhang Guan and Nalbandian's game, he connected to the ball to find an opportunity to go on the net, so I shouldn't allow him to play before the net!"
As Haas thought, he also sent a flat shot.
Haas's flat hitting speed is worse than Zhang Guan's, but the gap will not be too big. After all, Haas is also a top-ranked player in the world, and his strength is still there.
However, Zhang Guan's movement speed is faster than Haas, which is more dominant in defense. For example, this ball has a good serving quality, but Zhang Guan still caught this ball. However, the receiving point was not very good, which also allowed Haas to return the ball more comfortably.
Haas may have some concerns about Zhang Guan's play in front of the net, so he chose to use the forehand to catch the ball at the bottom line and increase the rotation of the ball. It's more powerful than Nadal's metamorphosis, but its power is still not to be underestimated. At least players who play in front of the net suffer a lot from this rotation.
However, Zhang Guan did not choose to go on the net, he still stood on the bottom line to return the ball.
"He didn't go to the net? Is he staying at the bottom line to return the ball? Then don't blame me for mobilizing you." Haas directly hit a slash.
In front of the net, the receiver can be passive to active, while in the bottom line, the receiver wants to be passive to be active. It is much harder to play the bottom line. The defensive ability is a necessary skill to play well. Especially for the receiver, the bottom line will be used by the server to call back. If the defense is not good, they will collapse in a few shots.
In recent years, those players who can top the ATP rankings all have extremely high defensive levels. The comprehensive defense of players such as Federer is naturally not weak. Nadal was originally a defensive player. Later Djokovy's powerful double-reverse makes his defense rock-solid.
Haas is now mobilizing Zhang Guan to run back and forth, and his movement range is much smaller, which is the most common situation of the bottom line.
However, Zhang Guan didn't sit back and waited. He looked at the timing, aimed at Haas' left sideline, and hit a backhand.
"How can this ball make such a rotation, it's too reluctant!" Haas immediately ran to the left, but stopped halfway through, because Zhang Guan's ball had already gone out of bounds.
The "15-0" referee announced the score. However, Haas did not feel too happy. Haas felt that the choice of this return is very problematic. The average professional player will choose to continue to hold on instead of this forced attack because it is already in defense, there is no good chance to appear. If you force a counterattack, the success rate is too low.
"What's this? Is Zhang Guan's judgment wrong? Or is he deliberately trying something?" Haas took a deep breath, then cleared his mind and started to serve the second ball.
"ACE, 30-0!" The referee called out the score. Haas had very good luck with this goal. He made a tricky angle. Zhang Guan tried it and found that he couldn't get it, so he didn't chase it again.
An ACE ball made Haas feel that he had found the feel, and then he drew a shot according to the gourd, according to the last way, and sent another ball!
"ACE!" At the same time as the referee announced, there was a round of applause. The two consecutive ACE balls were worthy of encouragement with applause.
"I want to challenge it!" Zhang Guan's voice sounded at this time!
The applause on the spot instantly turned into an expectation of discussion, because Zhang Guan wanted to challenge Hawk-Eye again.
"Zhang Guan chose the challenge! Let's take a look at the result of the challenge... Zhang Guan's challenge was successful! Zhang Guan's judgment is very accurate, the ball is really out of bounds!" The commentator shouted excitedly. At the same time, the referee ruled that the ball can be reissued.
Haas shook his head gently, but he felt he still had the advantage but was just a bit reserved, he still had two serving opportunities.
"Whoosh!" Haas's serve this time looked very lethal. Although Zhang Guan had rushed to the direction of the ball, he still failed to catch it.
"ACE!" The referee said this time, but he looked at Zhang Guan as if to ask him if he wanted to challenge.
"Challenge!" Zhang Guan immediately gave his answer.
"Oh-oh..." The audience on the scene immediately commotion, Haas had two ACE ball, Zhang Guan chose to challenge twice if Zhang Guan's two challenges can be successful, this is simply a perfect script.
On the big screen, the hawk-eye system answered. The ball is still out of bounds, and the edge of the ball is only a little closer to the line. If you don't zoom in, you can't even distinguish it.
"It's a little bit! Zhang Guan's challenge was successful again. Should I say that Zhang Guan's judgment is accurate, or should I say that his luck is against the sky!" The commentator has been unable to find the correct commentary.
However, the audience at the scene did not care about this. The cheers and applause of the audience have proved that they like this situation of constant reversal. ACE ball, challenge, challenge success, re-serving, it is ACE ball again, challenge again, challenge success again, this kind of plot that only appears in the novels, actually happened in reality.
A senior fan said softly, "Today's ticket is worth it! Watching Zhang Guan challenging Hawk-Eyes is more exciting than watching him play!"
