Through continuous high-speed serves, Roddick successfully kept serve. More importantly, Roddick was in a great momentum at this time. He seemed to see a broad road leading to victory.
Zhang Guan on the opposite side was aroused by Roddick's desire to win, and in the next game, it was Zhang Guan's serve.
"Rodick looks very imposing, and we must suppress his momentum. I haven't served with all my strength for a long time. They may have forgotten that fast serving is also what I am good at!" Zhang Guan's eyes flashed with coldness, and then Take a deep breath and prepare to serve.
"Ha!" Zhang Guan shouted while swinging the racket, and then the tennis ball landed directly in Roddick's half, and then popped out of bounds.
Roddick stood there, motionless and completely unresponsive.
"Zhang Guan's serve is so fast, I'm afraid it's comparable to my serve at 233 kilometers per hour just now!" Roddick looked at the ball speed monitor, and the number given on the monitor was 240.
"The speed is 240 kilometers per hour, which is almost close to my speed of 242 kilometers per hour." Roddick was slightly startled and couldn't help feeling a little panicked.
"With a serve speed of 240 kilometers per hour, Zhang Guan also sent a serve with a speed of 240 kilometers per hour! I almost forgot that Zhang Guan is also a player who is good at serving high-speed balls, but Zhang Guan seems to be a step behind Roddick. Little bit, just now Roddick served a ball with a speed of 242 kilometers per hour. I think it is not a good choice to compete with Roddick in serving speed." The commentator of the US Open was obviously more biased towards the American player Roddick.
This time the serve allowed Zhang Guan to find some feeling. For the next ball, he still chose a strong and fast serve, while Roddick still stood there, seemingly unresponsive.
The audience in the court was silent. There was no doubt that the goal was scored. The key was the speed of the serve. When the ball speed monitor showed the speed, there was a scream of excitement in the audience.
"245 kilometers! The speed is 245 kilometers per hour, tying Roddick's world record!" The commentator exclaimed like a chicken: "In the 2004 Davis Cup semi-finals, Roddick set every record on the hard court. The world record for the fastest serving speed of 245 kilometers per hour, and today, Zhang Guan tied this world record, which is incredible! It seems that Zhang Guan does have the capital to compete with Roddick in terms of serving speed."
Roddick, who was standing on the opposite side, looked at this number and his face had changed obviously. The serve speed of 245 kilometers per hour was the world record held by Roddick himself. Today, when Roddick saw with his own eyes that this world record was tied by his opponent. , I suddenly felt like my jealousy had been overturned. He knew that from this moment on, he would no longer have the exclusive honor of holding the world record for the fastest serve.
Zhang Guan started to serve the third ball. The placement is still conservative, but the speed is still extremely fast.
The referee announced the score of "40-0", and the next moment the commentator shouted loudly: "Oh my God, the speed is 250 kilometers per hour! I read it right, there is nothing wrong with our machine! This number broke Luo Dick's world record for the fastest serve at 245 kilometers per hour! Zhang Guan has broken another world record. In track and field, Zhang Guan breaking the world record is like searching for something, and today, Zhang Guan brought this style to the tennis court!"
On the field, Roddick opened his mouth and looked at the number on the speed display board with a look of disbelief.
"250 kilometers per hour, faster than my serve! How is this possible! There is someone in the world who can serve faster than me!" Roddick's mood at this time was not only sad, but also a kind of desolate unwillingness. Painful helplessness.
Two minutes ago, Roddick was the world record holder for the fastest serve in tennis; one minute ago, Roddick had to share this honor with Zhang Guan; but now, Roddick no longer holds the world record for the fastest serve in tennis. The holder, right in front of his eyes, his opponent Zhang Guan took away the world record of the fastest serve with his actions.
Roddick felt extremely frustrated. The morale he had inspired in the previous service game suddenly disappeared without a trace. The original feeling of being hot in the hand also dissipated in an instant.
Roddick took a deep breath and tried hard to adjust his condition. At this time, he was very unwilling. He felt humiliated, and the humiliation made him feel even more angry.
"I should be able to serve at a speed of 250 per hour. When I serve in the next game, I will regain my world record!"
But the game was not over yet. It was not Roddick's turn to serve. The score was 40-0. Zhang Guan, who still had the right to serve, began to prepare for his fourth serve.
"Whoosh!" The yellow tennis ball flew over the blue court. The angry Roddick immediately pounced on it, but missed. When he stretched out his racket, the tennis ball had already flown behind him.
"Didn't catch it! The ball seems to be faster!" Roddick immediately looked at the ball speed display board on the sidelines, but the number on it made Roddick involuntarily take a step back.
"How did Zhang Guan do it at a speed of 262 kilometers per hour! He broke the world record of 250 kilometers per hour that he had just set, and increased the speed of the ball by 12 kilometers! I think of Zhang Guan also constantly breaking world records in track and field. , does he feel that just setting records in track and field events is not satisfying enough, and will he continue to set records on the tennis court? Dear viewers, if you missed today's game, it would be such a pity! You missed the speed of the ball in history The fastest tennis serve! And if you buy a ticket and come to the scene, your ticket is definitely worth it, because here, we have witnessed a moment in history! The first tennis ball in human history to exceed a speed of 260 kilometers per hour The serve was born today, here!”
Driven by the commentator, the audience was already excited. Even those who originally supported Roddick were cheering for Zhang Guan.
"A serve with a speed of 262 kilometers per hour, is this Zhang Guan's true strength?" At this time, the unwillingness, humiliation, and anger in Roddick's heart have all disappeared, replaced by a deep feeling. Fear and despair, Zhang Guan's serve seemed to be telling Roddick that the opponent in front of him was unbeatable!
Zhang Guan defeated Roddick in Roddick's best field, which directly destroyed Roddick's fighting spirit. In the next game, Roddick was in no condition, or he no longer had the confidence to continue playing. Zhang Guan The championship did not put too much pressure on Roddick, and Roddick himself made more unforced errors.
6-2 and 6-0 were the scores of the second and third sets. Roddick, the last American player in this US Open, finally stopped in the quarterfinals. As the top seed, Zhang Guan, It stood out in the 1/4 area and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.
This result was actually expected by many professionals, but the process of the competition surprised many people.
At this time, Zhang Guan is only two steps away from the Grand Slam...
