Capítulo 255: Vigorous one-handed backhand
On the fifth matchday of the Australian Open, the men's singles and women's singles started the third round of the contest.
In the third round of the Grand Slam match, the seed players met one after another. The game was more intense than before, and the degree of appreciation of the game also increased significantly. At this time, neither the audience, the media nor professional sports commentators will specifically review the previous four days of the game, and everyone will focus on the more exciting third round.
Although there were a lot of focus battles in this day's game, such as Roddick against Safin, such as Williams against Petrova, there was no upset, and the top few seed players won relatively easily, and successfully advanced to the fourth round.
Later on the sixth matchday, Zhang Guan also ushered in his third-round match, his opponent is the world's strongest backhand David Nalbandian.
Vodafone Stadium, this game is scheduled for the first game of the day, at this time the sun ha yet to reach its peak, making it suitable for the game. Moreover, there is a little overcast, making the overall temperature not very high today. Melbourne has a temperate oceanographic climate. As long as there is no big sun in summer, it will feel very cool.
When Zhang Guan appeared on the field, there was no longer any boos from the audience. Although the previous wild card competition made them feel a lot of doubts about Zhang Guan, since Zhang Guan can reach the third round in the Grand Slam match, the strength of the player itself shows that even a "backdoor" player can get the audience approval.
However, the cheers and applause that Zhang Guan received are obviously far inferior to that of Nalbandian. Although Nalbandian is only the No. 8 seed in this Australian Open, as a veteran player, and with his reputation, and his previous record, making him an idol in the eyes of a lot of fans, at least in tennis, he is more popular than Zhang Guan.
"In the first game today, they saw the figure of Nalbandian. Although he was affected by injuries throughout the year last year, from the perspective of his promotion to the Australian Open this year, his status is still very good. Nalbandian's opponent in the first game was Serbian Tipsarević, but because the weather was too hot that day, Tipsarević retired due to heatstroke; the second round after that game, Nalbandian defeated Ecuadorian Lapanti with a 3-0 total score and advanced to the third round."
"Nalbandian's opponent today is Zhang Guan! The world's first flying man participated in the Australian Open with his wild card qualification. He was once criticized, but he defeated Belgian player O Rochus in the first round, and then in the second round, he defeated Sebastian Grosjean, the 28th seed of the tournament, and the score in both games was 3-0! It can be said that Zhang Guan showed the strength of no less than the professional tennis player in the game. I think we can already treat Zhang Guan as excellent tennis professional. It is worth mentioning that among the players who participated in the Australian Open men's singles tournament with the wild card, only Zhang Guan has not been eliminated."
"Nalbandian and Zhang Guan, one is a veteran strong, one is a new dark horse, I believe the two players will bring us a wonderful game! Well, the game is about to start, the first is Nalbandian's serve!"
Nalbandian had better luck in the heads and tails of coin guessing this time. He guessed the coin and got the opportunity to serve first. At this time, he stood on the field and prepared for his first serve of the game.
"This is my serving game, and it's the first game. I don't need to fight so hard. I want to be stable." Nalbandian directly used a relatively stable cutting service, although the landing point was not very good, the speed of the ball is very fast.
The speed of cutting the serve is naturally inferior to that of a flat serve, and the component of rotation is not as good as that of the top spinning. However, if the speed of cutting is combined with the rotation, it is easy to cause a great threat to the receiver. Because there is a cutting action when cutting the serve, the tennis ball will rotate sideways. If the server is holding the racket in the right hand, it will rotate in the right direction. If the server is holding the racket in the left hand, the ball will rotate in the left direction.
The tennis ball flew over the net and bounced on the ground, flying directly to Zhang Guan's backhand.
"The ball seemed to be very stable. He attacked my backhand. I did not show any backhand strength in these two games. Nalbandian is probably testing my backhand! It looks like it is time to show my backhand strength!" Zhang Guan held the racket with one hand and made a backhand cut, while the ball flew back to Nalbandian.
"One-handed backhand! Zhang Guan's habit is a one-handed backhand." Nalbandian's eyes lit up, and his heart was even more joyful.
Tennis backhand has two techniques, one-handed and two-handed, and most players use a two-handed backhand. One-handed backhand and two-handed backhand have their advantages and disadvantages, and which kind of backhand the player chooses is also based on his specific situation.
One-handed backhand touches the ball with a larger area. If one person stretches one direction with one hand, it must be farther than one hand-stretched in one direction. Also, one-handed movements are more concealed, especially when hitting a short ball, you must use one hand. For example, if you are a player who beats the ball with two hands, you must switch to one hand if you want to hit the ball. The opponent sees this scene and can immediately judge the opponent's strength. For the small ball, on the contrary, the player with one-handed backhand does not have this trouble.
The biggest disadvantage of one-handed backhand is instability. The one-handed return requires more power, so the strength of the athlete is very high. In the face of fast-flying tennis, one-handed power is often not enough to control the stable placement. Therefore, many of the one-handed catches are played by cutting the ball.
Instability is the biggest disadvantage of a one-handed backhand, and it is precisely the biggest advantage of two-handed backhand. The backhand strength of the hands must be more full, and the stability must be higher. In theory, if a player's one-handed strength is no weaker than the other player's two-handed strength, then he can also use one hand to play the effect of both hands.
The bottom line players are usually two-handed backhand shots, of course, there are exceptions, such as Federer, he is a one-handed backhand shot. Federer's strength is strong, he can use one-handed backhand to hit the effect of ordinary players' two-handed backhand, and his chop is very good in time, plus Federer also has an excellent backhand spin, making Federer's backhand a special power move.
Federer's backhand might still have an advantage if faced with a general opponent, but when facing the world's strongest backhand, Nalbandian, Federer's backhand is not even great, since Nalbandian was able to become "cow killer".
At this time, Nalbandian saw Zhang Guan use a one-handed backhand, and his heart was suddenly settled. Nalbandian's technique is a two-handed backhand. Even the world's strongest, Federer can't beat Nalbandian's backhand with one hand. How can other people's one-handed backhand be Nalbandian's opponent!
"It seems that the strategy formulated before the game is correct, I should attack Zhang Guan's backhand!" Nalbandian thought of this, with the double counterattack, he violently hit the ball.
"Nalbandian's backhand is here! It looks great! This is a great place!" Zhang Guan sighed, but his footsteps did not stop. He used his strong mobility to rush to the tennis in front of.
At this time Zhang Guan would like to take another step forward, and then use a forehand to return to a "Nadal turn", but Nalbandian no longer allowed him to, the tennis ball has already arrived in front of him, Zhang Guan must return with a backhand.
"Nalbandian, is it the strongest backhand? Also let you see my backhand!"
The next moment, Zhang Guan single-handedly smashed into the tennis ball.
"Whoosh!" Tennis turned into a yellow shadow, and the flying position was still Nalbandian's backhand.
Nalbandian also began to move and then prepared a backhand back, but after seeing the tennis ball rebounded on the ground, the arc was surprisingly straight and the speed was very fast.
In the eyes of Nalbandian, who was running, an undetectable horror flew in an instant.
"This is the topspin! This speed is so fast, and it spins very well. This must be the effect of both hands! Zhang Guang clearly returned the ball with one hand. How can a one-handed backhand be hit to this degree? The ball, how powerful must it be!"
