Haas stared at Zhang Guan silently, but he couldn't help but analyze the current situation on the court.
“When I watched the video of the game between Zhang Guan and Nalbandian before, I thought Zhang Guan might use the serve-to-court style. What I didn’t expect was that he used this kind of heavy-handed serve, and he chose the landing point very well. Such a limit, is this deliberately creating a sense of pressure on me? Originally, I planned to create some pressure on him, but now he created pressure on me first. However, this kind of ball that presses the line can only be regarded as good luck. , I've been fooled by you twice in a row, I guess I won't have such good luck if I take it!"
At this time, Zhang Guan finally raised his hand to serve. This ball was the same as before, a flat serve, and the landing point was still very extreme.
"It's this kind of ball again! Is it going out of bounds?" As Haas pounced, his eyes were fixed on the landing point.
"Bang!" The ball hit the ground and bounced up. The landing point this time seemed to be similar to the previous one. It seemed to be out of bounds and pressed against the line. What was even more similar was that Haas still didn't catch it. to this ball.
The line judge was stunned. After experiencing the previous two misjudgments, and now facing the same ball, the line judge hesitated. In his opinion, the ball should have gone out of bounds, but he felt the same way about the first two balls. In the end, the Hawkeye system showed that the ball was in bounds.
"We can't make any more misjudgments." The line judge did not make an out-of-bounds penalty out of caution.
"40-0!" the referee announced the score.
Haas's brows furrowed. Haas was very close to the ball's landing point. In Haas's sight, the ball's landing point was outside the boundary, but the line judge did not make a penalty.
"Did I see it wrong? No, I am closer to the ball. The ball just now should not be on the line. It may be an out-of-bounds ball." Haas had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't I am willing to use a challenge opportunity to verify whether my suspicion is correct.
On the other hand, Zhang Guan, who was on the opposite side, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. On the surface, this ball looked similar to the previous two goals, but in fact, it was indeed out of bounds. Zhang Guan had already learned about it through the system's eagle eye, but the line referee was affected by it. Due to the impact of consecutive misjudgments, the penalty this time should be much more cautious. There was no penalty out of bounds, which made Zhang Guan feel very lucky.
"Good luck, I earned this point!" Zhang Guan let out a long breath, and then continued to serve in the same way as before.
"Whoosh!" This time, the ball landed at exactly the same point as before.
The line judge still did not call the ball out of bounds. Two balls with the same landing point were not ruled out of bounds on the first one. If the second ball was ruled out of bounds, it would be a slap in the face, which is obviously inappropriate.
However, Haas quit, because if he lost this ball, he would lose the first game, and it would be a love-game loss.
"I saw the ball clearly. It was indeed out of bounds. The referee didn't make a penalty! This line judge is so unreliable!" Haas glared at the line judge in annoyance, and then signaled to the referee: "I Challenge!"
When Zhang Guan on the opposite side heard these words, his expression changed slightly, because he knew that the ball was indeed an out-of-bounds ball.
"Just now it was Zhang Guan's two consecutive challenges, and now it's Haas' turn. This is really an interesting game. Haas seems confident in betting on this goal," the commentator said.
Sure enough, the 3D simulation screen displayed on the big screen showed that the ball was out of bounds. The edge of the ball was just outside the sideline. Although it was only a little bit short, it was based on the fact that it was an out of bounds ball.
"It's a foul ball, a foul ball! Haas's challenge was also successful. I think Haas is relatively close to the landing point of the ball, so he can clearly judge that it is a foul ball! Oops, the line judge again A misjudgment reminded me of the previous ball, which landed at the same spot as now. The line judge thought it was a good ball, and neither side challenged it. Maybe the ball just now was also a foul ball!" the commentator said. The players began to defend Haas, and actually expressed their dissatisfaction with the line judge. There had been three misjudgments in one game. The line judge's performance today was obviously unqualified.
The line judge was also very upset. He made a misjudgment on this ball. He also realized that he might have made a misjudgement on the previous ball, but neither side challenged the previous ball.
"Just now I thought the ball was a foul ball, but I didn't dare to call it. It seems that I was affected by the previous two misjudgements, so I was a little too cautious in the penalty. I should still trust my judgment! Don't be The influence of other factors." Si Xian made up his mind.
In this case, the referee's penalty was to re-serve instead of a first-serve error, and Haas had no objection to this. In this case, the server cannot be blamed for the referee's mistake. Generally, a ball is awarded and both sides serve again.
If the server successfully challenges, he may score directly, while if the receiver successfully challenges, he will be awarded a new serve. This may sound unfair, but this is how the tennis game is. The server has advantages in all aspects, including the rules of challenging Hawkeye. use. Considering that both sides have equal opportunities to serve, it is actually fair.
Since the ball was ruled to be re-served, Zhang Guan still had two chances.
Zhang Guan started serving again. This time he slightly adjusted the landing point and controlled the landing point of the ball closer to the back sideline.
"Bang!" After the tennis ball landed, Haas had already run to the position and returned a forehand return. Unfortunately, the quality of the return was not very good.
"OUT!" The line judge's voice sounded at the same time. At this time, Haas's return ball was still in the air and had not landed. Obviously, this "OUT" sentence meant that Zhang Guan's serve was out of bounds.
The line judge's expression was extremely firm, and he was obviously very confident in his decision this time.
The next moment, everyone looked at Zhang Guan, expecting Zhang Guan to challenge for the third time.
However, Zhang Guan slowly took out the spare tennis ball from his pants pocket and prepared for his second serve. Because Zhang Guan knew that there was no problem with the penalty of this ball, it was indeed a foul ball.
"Hey..." The audience showed disappointed expressions. Zhang Guan's third challenge to Hawkeye that everyone expected did not appear.
"Zhang Guan did not challenge Hawkeye. To be honest, when I heard the word 'OUT', I thought Zhang Guan would challenge Hawkeye again! But it seems that Zhang Guan is also very self-aware. He has no idea whether the ball is out of bounds. Very confident, or maybe he doesn't dare to gamble again." The commentator said.
"My penalty was correct! Sure enough, I still have to stick to myself." Because the line judge's judgment was correct this time, his confidence suddenly returned.
Zhang Guan started his second serve. This time he chose the opposite landing point from the first serve, but the ball still hit near the sideline.
Haas did not catch the ball, but he stopped and stared at the spot where the tennis ball landed, recalling whether the ball fell in bounds.
On the display board on the side of the court, the number 211km appeared, indicating that the speed of this ball had reached an astonishing 211 kilometers per hour!
"OUT!" The line judge's firm voice sounded. This time he straightened his back and spoke in a louder tone. It was obvious that he was very confident in his judgment at this time.
"I want to challenge!" Zhang Guan signaled to the referee again.
The audience immediately cheered. Although the result of the challenge has not yet come out, Zhang Guan's challenge is obviously the plot that everyone has been waiting for. For the audience at the scene, watching the result of challenging Hawkeye is obviously better than watching the game. The process is more interesting.
The commentator suddenly became energetic: "Zhang Guan is going to challenge Hawkeye, and he is going to challenge again. If the challenge fails and the ball does go out of bounds, then the score will be 40-15, and Haas still has a chance to break serve; And if Zhang Guan succeeds in his challenge, I think he can successfully win the first game!"
A few seconds later, the 3D simulation screen finally appeared on the big screen. Whether Zhang Guan's challenge was successful or not, the answer will be revealed soon!
