In tennis, one-handed backhand returns are generally based on cutting techniques. Cutting is not just for returning the ball or overshooting, but more for combining with the killer move of the forehand attack, such as Federer's backhand cutting. He often chooses the landing point of the ball in front of the net and moves his opponent to the midfield or in front of the net. Since Federer's return ball has a strong topspin and a low rebound height when it lands, the opponent's return ball will be relatively shallow, so that Federer can Creating a forehand gap is also a typical tactic of Federer.
It is rare for a one-handed backhand to return the ball directly to the baseline. The main reason is that the strength of one hand is not enough. If the ball returns to the baseline, the tennis ball will have no speed, no spin, and no landing point. This kind of quality is not high. Returning the ball is entirely about creating opportunities for the opponent.
But if the power of the one-handed backhand is sufficient, you can still return high-quality balls, including the kind of extremely high-quality topspin that can only be hit with both hands.
And Zhang Guan's current counterattack is that kind of extremely high-quality topspin.
Although the tennis ball is very fast, the moment the ball hits the ground, Nalbandian can determine the type of the ball through the sound.
"The topspin ball doesn't land in the front court. This one-handed backhand goes straight back to the baseline and hits a topspin ball. It's a suicide! Looks like I can hit him back and change the line!" Bendian thought to himself.
But then, I saw that the ball did not bounce as high as Nalbandian expected. Instead, the ball flew in a lower and straighter direction.
"How is that possible! A ball with this kind of spin can only be played with both hands, but Zhang Guan obviously returned the ball with one hand! How could one hand have such power! Am I dazzled?" Nalbandi An rushed to the tennis ball with questions in his mind, and then used his strongest two-handed backhand. The position he attacked was still Zhang Guan's backhand. It was powerful and heavy, and the landing point was still accurate.
Zhang Guan also responded with a backhand, just like last time, with one hand, and it was still topspin.
"Hoo!" The tennis ball whizzed over, and Nalbandian immediately judged that the rotation force of this ball was almost the same as before.
"It's true. Zhang Guan can use a one-handed backhand to produce a two-handed backhand effect! His arm strength is amazing. By the way, he often hits flat shots with speeds exceeding 200 kilometers per hour and topspin speeds. It can also reach 190 kilometers. It is normal to have strong arm strength. With this strength alone, Zhang Guan may become the strongest SLR player in the world! However, this move can only be used against ordinary players. I am the strongest in the world. Backhand! No matter how strong your one-handed backhand is, it can't be stronger than my two-handed backhand!"
Nalbandian fought hard and the tennis ball flew towards Zhang Guan's backhand again.
Although Zhang Guan's arm strength can turn a one-handed backhand into a two-handed backhand, it is only calculated according to the standards of ordinary players. Nalbandian is the world's number one backhand, and his backhand is far better than that of ordinary players. The backhand is much stronger, so Zhang Guan's one-handed backhand is completely at a disadvantage against Nalbandian's two-handed backhand.
With the next shot, Nalbandian ended the test and directly hit the ball to change the line. The tennis ball flew towards the other side at an extremely tricky angle.
"Oh, double reverse lane change! Nalbandian's signature double reverse lane change! Textbook double reverse lane change!" Someone immediately exclaimed.
The two-handed backhand line-changing technique is definitely the sharpest weapon for a player with a strong backhand. When you have an advantage, changing the backhand line can lead to victory; when you are at a disadvantage, changing the backhand line can turn passivity into initiative.
Speaking of two-handed backhand line-changing skills, Nalbandian, the world's strongest backhand, is definitely the best. For Nalbandian, the backhand line can change almost at a moment's notice. Even if the ball is very fast or the ball has strong spin, it is not a problem for Nalbandian.
In comparison, Safin, who also has a strong backhand, cannot match the precise control of his backhand line changes as Nalbandian; and Djokovic, another strong backhand, his backhand The shooting line is not straight enough. It may be good in the advantageous game, but the effect in the disadvantageous game is relatively average.
Zhang Guan watched the tennis ball fly in the other direction and ran over immediately.
"The line has changed, the angle is so tricky!" Although Zhang Guan realized that it was difficult to catch the ball, he was still unwilling to give up. He used his speed to catch up to the tennis ball, but at this time it was difficult for him to make a high-quality counterattack, but Kankan returned the ball to the net.
This kind of very poor quality return was an opportunity for Nalbandian. Nalbandian obviously would not miss this opportunity and directly hit Zhang Guan's gap to score the first point.
"Bah, bang, bang, bang..." Applause rang out immediately, even covering up the referee's voice announcing the score.
The spectators who come to the Vodafone Stadium to watch the game are basically relatively senior fans, and they are all knowledgeable people. The contest between Zhang Guan and Nalbandian just now was extremely exciting. Of course, the audience is very excited. After buying it, the anticipation for the game became a little stronger.
Immediately afterwards, Nalbandian began to serve the second ball, still attacking Zhang Guan's backhand position.
Zhang Guan still used his backhand from the baseline position to fight back. As a result, the ball was similar to the previous process, and the result was the same. Nalbandian's backhand with both hands was even better, and he once again won the ball by changing the line.
On the third ball, the result was still the same, with the score reaching 40-0.
However, in the fourth ball, Nalbandian felt that he had a great advantage and was a little eager for success. As a result, he made a mistake on the first serve. In the next second serve, Nalbandian chose a conservative serving method. This time Zhang Guan finally reached the goal. In the forehand position, the high-speed spinning ball was returned with the forehand, and he took advantage of it to get a ball back and make the score 40-15.
After losing the ball, Nalbandian adjusted his state and still used his backhand to attack Zhang Guan's backhand. Zhang Guan was still defeated by Nalbandian's powerful backhand change and lost the ball. Lost points and lost this round.
But this is Nalbandian's serve after all, and it is normal for him to be able to hold serve successfully. Therefore, Zhang Guan has no psychological disadvantage in this, but Nalbandian's powerful backhand makes Zhang Guan felt deeply afraid.
"He is indeed the strongest backhand in the world. He is really strong! He uses a two-handed backhand, and I use a one-handed backhand. If I fight for the backhand, I will definitely not be his opponent. Next is my serve. If I attack his backhand Maybe it won’t be very effective! I have to find another way to deal with Nalbandian.”
"Federer uses a one-handed backhand. I learned from Federer's experience, so I judge every ball with a one-handed backhand. This kind of backhand is just for ordinary two-handed players, but Nalbandian's The two-handed backhand is really too strong. If we also use the two-handed backhand, I will definitely not be weaker than Nalbandian, but in that case we may have to fight evenly! It seems to be what Coach Joyce said. Say, use the net play to restrain Nalbandian’s backhand. Use the net play, it’s time to buy that person’s experience book!”
