Chapter 145: The Fastest Serve in History (Four Changes)
Through continuous high-speed serve, Roddick successfully held serve, and more importantly, Roddick won with momentum at this time, as if he saw a broad road to victory.
Zhang Guan, who was on the opposite side, was aroused by Roddick's desire to win, and the next game was Zhang Guan's serve.
"Roddick looks imposing, and he has to be suppressed. It's been a long time since I've served with all my might, and they probably forgot that fast serve is what I'm good at! A cold light flashed in Zhang Guan's eyes, and then he took a deep breath and prepared to serve.
"Hah!" Zhang Guan waved his racket at the same time, and then the tennis ball fell directly on Roddick's half court, and then bounced out of bounds.
Roddick stood still, unmoved, completely unresponsive.
"Zhang Guan's serve is also so fast, I'm afraid it's on par with my 233 km/h serve just now!" Roddick looked at the ball speed display, which gave the number 240.
"At 240 kilometers per hour, it's almost close to my speed of 242 kilometers per hour." Roddick was slightly startled, and couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
"A serve of 240 kilometers per hour, Zhang Guan also sent a serve of 240 kilometers per hour! I almost forgot, Zhang Guan is also a player who is good at sending high-speed balls, but Zhang Guan seems to be a little worse than Roddick, just now Roddick sent a ball with a speed of 242 kilometers per hour, I think it is not a good choice to serve faster than Roddick. "The commentators at the US Open are clearly more biased towards Roddick, a native of the United States.
This time the serve made Zhang Guan find some feeling, and the next ball, he still chose a strong and fast serve, while Roddick was still standing in place, as if there was no reaction.
There was silence in the stadium, and there was no doubt about the goal. The key is what the speed of the serve is. And when the ball speed indicator showed the speed, the audience suddenly resounded with a scream of excitement.
"245 km! The speed is 245 kilometers per hour, which is equal to the world record of Roddick! "In the 2004 Davis Cup semi-finals, Roddick set the world record for the fastest serve time of 245 kilometers per hour on a hard court, and today, Zhang Guanping equaled that world record," the commentator exclaimed. It's incredible! It seems that Zhang Guan does have the capital to compete with Roddick for serving speed. ”
Standing on the opposite side, Roddick looked at this number, his face had changed significantly, the serve at a speed of 245 kilometers per hour was the world record held by Roddick himself, and today when Roddick saw this world record being equaled by his opponent, he suddenly had a feeling of being knocked over the vinegar jar in his heart. He knew that from this moment on, he would no longer have the honor of having the fastest serve in the world.
Zhang Guan began to serve the third ball. It's still conservative, but it's still extremely fast.
The referee announced the score of "40-0", and the next moment the commentator shouted directly: "Oh my God, 250 kilometers per hour!" I'm not mistaken. There is no problem with our machine! This figure broke the world record for Roddick's fastest serve at 245 kilometers per hour! Zhang Guan broke another world record, in the track and field field, Zhang Guan broke the world record like a bag, and today, Zhang Guan has brought this style to the tennis court! ”
On the field, Roddick opened his mouth and looked at the number on the speed display board in disbelief.
"250 km/h, faster than my serve! How is this possible! There are people in the world. Faster than my serve! At this time, Roddick's mood was not only sour, but also a bleak unwillingness and bitter helplessness.
Two minutes ago. Roddick is also the world record holder for the fastest serve in tennis; A minute earlier, Roddick had to share the honor with Zhang Guan; And now, Roddick is no longer the world record holder for the fastest serve in tennis, and right in front of his eyes, his opponent Zhang Guan took away the world record for the fastest serve with his actions.
Roddick was extremely frustrated. The morale that had been boosted in a service game just now suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the original feeling of feeling hot in the hand also dissipated instantly.
Roddick took a deep breath and tried to adjust his state, at this time he was very unwilling, he felt humiliated. The humiliation made him feel even more angry.
"I should be able to do it with a 250 mph serve, and in the next game, in my service game, I will regain my world record!"
But the game was not over yet, and it was not Roddick's turn to serve, the score was 40-0, and Zhang Guan, who still held the serve, began to prepare for his fourth serve.
"Whoosh!" The yellow tennis ball flew over the blue court, and an angry Roddick immediately pounced, but it was empty, and by the time he reached for the racket, the tennis ball had already flown behind him.
"Didn't get it! The ball seems to be faster! Roddick looked at the ball speed display on the sidelines for the first time, and the numbers on it made Roddick involuntarily take a step back.
"At a speed of 262 kilometers per hour, how did Zhang Guan do it! He broke his own world record of 250 km/h and increased the speed of the ball by 12 km/h! I think that Zhang Guan is also constantly breaking world records in track and field, does he think that it is not enough to only brush records in track and field events, and continue to break records on the tennis court? Ladies and gentlemen, it would be a shame if you missed today's game! You've missed the fastest tennis tee in history! And if you buy a ticket to come to the scene, then your ticket is definitely worth the money, because here, we witness a moment in history! The first tennis ball in human history with a speed of more than 260 kilometers per hour was born today, here! ”
Driven by the narrator, the audience was already boiling, and even those who originally supported Roddick were cheering for Zhang Guan.
"A serve of 262 kilometers per hour, is this the real strength of Zhang Guan?" At this time, the unwillingness, the humiliation, and the anger in Roddick's heart have all disappeared, replaced by a deep fear and despair, Zhang Guan's serve this time, as if to tell Roddick that the opponent in front of him is invincible!
Zhang Guan defeated Roddick in the field that Roddick is best at, which also directly destroyed Roddick's fighting spirit, and in the next game, Roddick was in no state, or he no longer had the confidence to continue fighting, Zhang Guan did not give Roddick too much pressure, and Roddick himself would have more unforced mistakes.
6-2 and 6-0, the scores of the second and third sets, the last American player in this US Open tennis tournament, Roddick, finally reached the quarterfinals, and Zhang Guan, as the top seed, stood out in the quarter-finals and successfully advanced to the semifinals.
This result is actually expected by many professionals, but the process of the competition has not been expected by many people.
At this time, Zhang Guan was only two steps away from the Grand Slam...... (To be continued.) )
