The entire audience stretched their necks and stared at the big screen.
On the big screen, the 3D image accurately showed that Zhang Guan's serve was right on the line.
"Inbounds! Inbounded again! Zhang Guan's challenge was successful! Zhang Guan's challenge was successful three times in a row! It's incredible. He succeeded in three challenges in a row. This rarely happens, not to mention it was in the same place. Within the game. If you include Haas’s successful challenge before, there will be four challenges in this game, and all of them were successful!” The commentator’s words were accompanied by the astonishing cheers of the audience. Wandering around the Vodafone Arena.
Haas shook his head helplessly. Although Zhang Guan played a love-game in the first game, which looked quite ugly, it was Zhang Guan's serve after all, so it was normal for him not to break serve.
On the other hand, the line judge's face was not so pretty. In tennis, every successful challenge by a player represents a misjudgment by the referee. Four misjudgments in one game is indeed very embarrassing, and this game is not the kind of back and forth. In the tug-of-war, Zhang Guan defeated Haas with four serves. There were four misjudgments in a total of four balls. This reason is enough for anyone to question the professionalism of the line judge.
However, no one expressed sympathy for the line judge. Misjudgments are always part of the game. As long as people are human, they will make mistakes, and so will the referees. However, the current tennis match has the Hawkeye system, which allows players to object to the referee's decision and get a fair result. In some other competitions, even if there are no technical problems, they still use traditional refereeing methods and are unwilling to make changes.
After a short break, the second game of the two sides began.
Haas hit the ball a few times and looked at Zhang Guan's position.
"I remember in the video of the game between Zhang Guan and Nalbandian, he always looked for opportunities to hit the net when he connected with the ball. It's better not to give him the opportunity to hit the net!"
Haas thought as he also hit a flat ball.
Haas's flat hitting speed is slightly worse than Zhang Guan's, but the gap is not huge. After all, Haas is also a player ranked very high in the world, and he still has his own strength.
However, Zhang Guan moves faster than Haas, which is more advantageous in defense. For example, in this ball, although Haas's serve quality is very good, Zhang Guan still caught the ball, only However, the placement of the return serve is not very good, which also allows Haas to return the ball more comfortably.
Haas may be a little worried about Zhang Guan's playing style at the net, so he chooses to catch the ball with a forehand from the baseline to increase the spin of the ball, although Haas's forehand return is not as top-spin as Federer's forehand. It is far less powerful than Nadal's spin, but its power cannot be underestimated. At least players who play in front of the net are at a disadvantage in front of this kind of spin.
However, Zhang Guan did not choose to go online. He still stood on the baseline and returned the ball.
"Didn't hit the net? Did you return the ball from the baseline? Then don't blame me for mobilizing you." Haas directly hit a slash.
In the net play, the receiver can change from passive to active, but in the baseline play, it is much more difficult for the receiver to change from passive to active. If you want to play well in the baseline play, you must have defensive ability. Especially for the receiver, if he uses the baseline play method, he will be moved back and forth by the server. If the defense is not good, it will collapse in just a few shots.
In recent years, those players who have reached the top of the ATP rankings all have extremely high defensive levels. A comprehensive player like Federer is naturally not weak defensively. Nadal has a defensive style of play. Later, Djokovic Qi's powerful double counterattack made his defense even more solid.
Haas is now mobilizing Zhang Guan to run back and forth, while his own range of movement is much smaller. This is the most common situation in baseline play.
However, Zhang Guan did not sit still and wait for death. He saw the opportunity, aimed at the left sideline of Haas, and struck a backhand.
"Why did this ball spin like this? It was too forced!" Haas immediately ran to the left, but stopped halfway because Zhang Guan's ball had already gone out of bounds.
"15-0" the referee announced the score. But Haas didn't feel too happy. Haas felt that the choice of this goal was very problematic. The average professional player would definitely choose to continue the stalemate instead of this kind of forced attack, because he was already in a situation. During the defense, there are no good opportunities. If you force a counterattack, the success rate is too low.
"What is this? Did Zhang Guan make a mistake in his judgment? Or was he deliberately testing?" Haas took a deep breath, then eliminated the distracting thoughts in his mind and started serving the second ball.
"ACE, 30-0!" the referee shouted the score. Haas was very lucky with this shot and hit it from a very tricky angle. Zhang Guan tried it and found that he couldn't catch it, so he stopped chasing it. One ball.
An ACE ball made Haas feel that he had found his touch, and then he followed the same pattern and fired another ball in the same way as last time!
"ACE!" When the referee announced, there was a round of applause. Two consecutive ACE balls were obviously worthy of encouragement.
"I want to challenge!" Zhang Guan's voice sounded at this time!
The applause at the scene instantly turned into talks of anticipation, because Zhang Guan was going to challenge Eagle Eye again.
"Zhang Guan chose to challenge! Let's take a look at the result of the challenge... Zhang Guan's challenge was successful! Zhang Guan's judgment was very accurate. The ball really went out of bounds!" the commentator shouted excitedly. At the same time, the referee decided that the ball should be replayed.
Haas shook his head slightly, but he felt that he still had an advantage. He just served again. He still had two chances to serve.
"Whoosh!" Haas's serve seemed very lethal. Although Zhang Guan had already rushed towards the direction of the ball, he still failed to catch it.
"ACE!" The referee said this time while looking at Zhang Guan, as if asking him if he wanted to challenge.
"Challenge!" Zhang Guan immediately gave his answer.
"Oh oh oh oh..." The audience immediately became commotion. Haas aced twice and Zhang Guan chose to challenge twice. If Zhang Guan could succeed in both challenges, this would be a perfect script.
On the big screen, the Hawkeye system gave the answer. The ball was still out of bounds. The edge of the ball was just a little bit on the line. Without magnification, it could not even be distinguished.
"What a difference! Zhang Guan succeeded in another challenge. Should I say that Zhang Guan's judgment is accurate, or should I say that his luck is incredible!" The commentator could not find the words to explain.
However, the audience at the scene did not care about this. The cheers and applause of the audience proved that they liked this continuous reversal of the situation. Ace ball, challenge, successful challenge, re-serve, another ACE ball, another challenge, another successful challenge, this kind of plot that only appears in novels about winning the game actually happened in reality.
A senior fan said softly: "Today's ticket is really worth it! Watching Zhang Guan challenge Hawkeye is much more exciting than watching him play a game!"
