Pressing the backhand and waiting for the opportunity to mobilize the forehand is Federer's most commonly used offensive method.
In a normal match, if both players hold the racket with the same hand, it is easier to use the forehand to attack the opponent's backhand, but it is more difficult to use the forehand to attack the opponent's backhand. If both parties hold the shot with their right hand and the other with their left hand, it will be easier to attack the opponent's backhand with the forehand, but it will be more difficult to attack the opponent's forehand.
But Federer obviously will not be affected by this. The accuracy of Federer's forehand is too high, so whether the opponent is left-handed or right-handed, Federer's forehand can attack the opponent's backhand. In addition, Federer's forehand shot has strong topspin, which makes it very difficult for the opponent to catch the ball.
Therefore, to deal with Federer's move, a strong backhand is essential. The reason why Nalbandian once became the "cow killer" is because he has the strongest backhand in the world, which can restrain Federer's pressing backhand. The method chosen by Nadal is fast movement and high-spin return. However, this method is more useful on clay courts, and the effect on hard courts and grass is not as good as clay courts.
On the next ball, Federer repeated his old trick. Instead of trying to get an ace, he continued to use a pressing serve to attack Zhang Guan's backhand position.
"It's this kind of ball again. If I use a more reliable way to receive the serve, it will give Federer the opportunity to continue to press the backhand; if I try to fight diagonally, the possibility of going out of bounds is very high. Fight or not fight What? If you don’t fight, if you use a regular return, Federer will definitely force his backhand, and you will still lose. If you fight, you may fail, but at least you will have a chance of survival. It seems that you can only fight!"
Zhang Guan thought of this and forcibly returned the ball to the diagonal position.
"OUT!" The line judge shouted loudly, and Zhang Guanze shook his head helplessly. To succeed in this kind of return, technique alone is not enough, but also some luck.
"Zhang Guan received the serve and went out of bounds. Federer successfully kept serve in this game and moved back to the next game. The score is now 2-1. Federer has begun to find his game state. In the first few sets of this Australian Open In the finals, Federer has always been slow to start, but in today’s final, Federer got into the game relatively quickly.”
…
"Federer's backhand-pressure style is really difficult to deal with. Although my backhand is not weak, it is a one-handed backhand after all. I can't beat his forehand. It's my turn to serve in the next game." Now, you can also try this move. I wonder how Federer will respond to his own unique move?"
Zhang Guan firmly grasped the racket in his hand and began to prepare to serve. He threw the ball and swung the racket with great force.
"Is it still a high-speed flat serve?" Federer started fiercely, but then he discovered that the speed of this ball was not as fast as he thought.
"The speed of this ball is less than 200 kilometers! Zhang Guan was not prepared to hit the ACE directly. Is this a suppressive serve? Is he going to serve to the net!" Federer immediately became vigilant.
Zhang Guan's serve and net helped him score many times in the first few rounds. Especially in the next three games, when Zhang Guan made a mistake on his first serve, he would often choose to serve and net on his second serve. So at this time, Federer He immediately became wary.
The tennis ball flew very fast. Federer seemed not to give Zhang Guan a chance to hit the net. He held the racket with one hand and hit the ball with his backhand. He deliberately increased the intensity to keep the ball spinning. Then Federer looked up, only to find that Zhang Guan was still there. Throw it at the bottom line.
"No net? Zhang Guan is still stuck on the baseline. He is preparing to play the baseline with me." Federer thought to himself.
Just as Federer had judged, Zhang Guan moved on the baseline and came to the flight path of the tennis ball, and hit the ball with his forehand.
"Huh?" Federer hesitated for a moment, and he realized that Zhang Guan was obviously attacking his backhand. Of course, this hesitation only lasted less than the blink of an eye, and then he had already moved to the position of catching the ball and responded with a backhand.
"The ball's topspin is so powerful. The degree of topspin is no worse than my forehand topspin! And the landing point is very precise. Zhang Guan's control of the ball with his forehand is also very good. From a technical level, I'm afraid Zhang Guan He is truly the best in the world." Federer commented silently in his heart.
Both sides are right-handed players. While using their forehand to attack the opponent's backhand, they can also maintain sufficient topspin and precise placement. This requires good skills. Federer is very good at using this attack. Of course, Knowing that being able to hit the ball at this week's level basically represents the top forehand level in the world.
For the next ball, Zhang Guan still used his forehand, and still attacked Federer's backhand.
"Still attacking my backhand." Federer still returned the ball very cautiously. Even Federer did not dare to use too unrestrained tactics to counterattack such a ball with a strong top spin. If the return of the ball is too unrestrained, it is easy to make mistakes, and it will also create opportunities for the opponent to attack; if the return of the ball is more cautious, although it will be at a disadvantage, it will not be beaten to death by the opponent.
Zhang Guan attacked again with his forehand and continued to suppress Federer's backhand. Federer's return was also satisfactory and did not reveal any flaws.
The two sides stayed in a stalemate for five shots. Just when Federer thought Zhang Guan would attack his backhand, Zhang Guan changed the direction of the return and suddenly attacked the other side of the court, where Federer's forehand was.
Federer's action was a little late. He immediately ran to the other side of the court. Although he caught the ball, he caught the ball in a hurry. In this haste, Federer's return revealed a big problem. flaw.
Zhang Guan rushed directly to the net and scored the first point through a cutting ball.
"In Zhang Guan's last serving game, the two sides basically didn't have too many stalemate balls. Zhang Guan could win his own serving game by relying on the ACE ball or the serve score. But looking at it now, this ball passed After several shots of stalemate, Zhang Guancai won. I think this fully shows that Federer has found the state of the game! He will definitely be able to play better and better in the future." The commentator began to praise Federer.
But Federer's expression did not show any relief at all, he seemed to be thinking about something.
"Continuously pressing backhands and then suddenly switching to attack forehands, this is my tactic! And it was a tactic I only used in the last game! I never expected that Zhang Guan would use my tactics to deal with me!" Federer thought A sudden sense of absurdity arose.
