【Huh? Is this the strength of the top 5?】

[It feels so suffocating, Xiao Jiang can't find an opportunity at all!]

[It's good that Xiao Jiang can perform to his own level. Do you guys really expect him to beat Davydenko?]

[Nothing is impossible in a competition! Anything can happen!]

[Go, Xiao Jiang!]

【…】

In the first game, Jiang Hong was swept aside.

The cheers and shouts from the audience in the stands weren't as loud as they had been at the beginning.

However, many people still have hope for Jiang Hong!

After the first game ended, the two sides switched sides.

This is the first time Jiang Hong has been given a Love game by his opponent since the start of the competition!

In the past, even when the disadvantages were significant.

Jiang Hong will generally try his best to score one or two points.

Jiang Hong took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

I've only just entered the tennis world; it's impossible for me to sweep everyone around right from the start!
However, this was not his reason for giving up.

Jiang Hong's gaze hardened again as he stood before the baseline.

After the first game ends, the two sides switch sides and do not take a break.

The competition will continue!
He took the tennis ball from the caddie next to him and stuffed it into his pants pocket.

Boom boom boom!
Jiang Hong gently tapped the tennis ball with his fingers, his gaze fixed on the opponent's half of the court.

Zhang Sheng in the broadcast studio: "Let's see how good Jiang's serve is. I know from what I've learned before that serving is one of his specialties. His first serve percentage in the last match was over 90%. Can Jiang control his serve and find a breakthrough point?"

Jiang Hong gently tossed the tennis ball up with his left hand, and the ball traced an arc in the air.

"It's now!"

The moment the tennis ball reaches the desired height!
Jiang Hong made a large backswing motion with his right hand, and leaned his body slightly backward.

His whole being seemed to be like a longbow drawn to its fullest extent.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Hong pushed off the ground with his feet and lashed out with his arm like a whip.

The racket struck the tennis ball with a crisp sound.

"Snapped!"

In an instant, the tennis ball shot like a yellow-green lightning bolt straight into the opponent's half of the court.

"Outspin serve!"

After seeing Jiang Hong's hitting posture, Davydenko immediately understood the answer.

I immediately began preparing for the hair extensions and quickly went online.

Jiang Hong's serve has indeed improved considerably.

As the tennis ball flies through the air, it seems as if an invisible force is pushing the ball to the left.

The tennis ball bounced high into the air the moment it hit the ground.

However, the route was quite strange; it didn't go in the original direction but turned to the right.

Although Davydenko was ready to hit the ball, Jiang Hong's shot was simply too high in quality.

So after arriving at the landing point, I took a few small steps to adjust my position.

The tennis ball had just flown out of bounds when Davydenko's racket came hurtling towards it.

However, due to the serve, the quality of this return was not high.

"Beautiful! With this brilliant topspin serve, Xiao Jiang has successfully gained the initiative on the court. Let's see how he continues to handle it!" Zhang Sheng's eyes lit up the moment he saw the ball, and he shouted excitedly.

After serving, Jiang Hong quickly moved forward with a crossover step.

Ding Ding Deng!
When the tennis ball flies over the net.

Jiang Hong lowered his center of gravity, held his racket in front of him, and stared intently at the ball in flight.

"Chance!"

When the tennis ball bounced off the ground and landed on Jiang Hong's chest.

He moved!
Jiang Hong suddenly exerted force with his wrist, like a sharp blade.

The racket was firmly pressed against the upper side of the tennis ball, a forehand fast attack!
Tennis balls seem to leave afterimages, their exact trajectory impossible to capture with the naked eye!
Heading straight for the right baseline!

Davydenko quickly moved laterally to block, but he was still a step too late!
The tennis ball hit the baseline!

"Nice!"

Jiang Hong clenched his fist and roared!
After all, Davydenko had exerted tremendous pressure on Jiang Hong just now.

After Jiang Hong scored, the haze that had been hanging over the audience was instantly torn away!
The roar of more than 10,000 people seemed capable of sending Jiang Hong flying.

Jiang Hong regained his composure, realizing that he was still behind and needed to catch up.

After returning to the baseline position, prepare for the second serve.

This time, Jiang Hong used an inside-spin serve, and the ball landed in a very tricky spot.

After hitting the center line, it curved to the left.

Davydenko hadn't expected Jiang Hong's serve to be so excellent, with superb control over both inside and outside spin placement.

It's important to understand that being a top player doesn't necessarily mean being an all-rounder!

In fact, there is a focus on technology!

For example, Davydenko rarely serves with force; he mostly controls the angle and placement of the serve.

Of course, Davydenko has also hit serves that exceed 210 kilometers per hour.

Davydenko was already exhausted after the US Open.

Therefore, I didn't pay attention to Jiang Hong's information.

After all, how much of a threat can an ATP 200+ player pose?

However, judging from the current situation, Jiang Hong is indeed an opponent that he needs to take seriously!
40: 30!

Jiang Hong took out a towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Back on the baseline, ready to serve!

"Xiao Jiang has reached his safe point; let's see if he can seize the opportunity!"

Jiang Hong took a deep breath and gritted his teeth!

Fight!

Jiang Hong's shoulders shrunk back, and his whole body seemed to be wound up like a spring.

The ball can be lifted high, even reaching a height of three meters!

The audience's attention was completely drawn to the high-arcing ball.

Just then, Jiang Hong suddenly pushed off the ground with his feet and lunged forward.

His arm swung out from behind his head, and the racket slammed heavily into the falling tennis ball.

A deafening thud was heard. The serve had no arc; it went straight for Davydenko's T-point in his service court.

Although Davydenko observed the trajectory of the tennis ball, his movement speed was far from that of the ball.

The tennis ball slammed into the ground with a "thud," bouncing much higher than a normal serve, and hurtled towards the baseline with tremendous force!

Before Davydenko could even get into position, the tennis ball had already flown out of bounds.

The speed monitor on the sidelines showed that Jiang Hong's serve was 212 kilometers per hour!

"Jiang Hong held her serve with a beautiful, powerful serve!"

"Both sides are now back on equal footing..."

After Jiang Hong scored, the audience in the stands immediately cheered him on.

"Little Jiang is awesome!"

"Holy crap, that ball feels like it could kill me!"

"I've never seen Xiao Jiang serve such a fast ball before!"

"Maybe this is a new trick that Xiao Jiang has mastered!"

"It seems like Xiao Jiang is constantly improving, he's amazing!"

To be honest, Jiang Hong had only ever served at such a high speed in training before.

This is the first time in a competition!
When it was Davydenko's turn to serve, Jiang Hong immediately held his cards with both hands, leaned forward, and stared intently at his opponent's serve, ready to receive.

Davydenko tossed the ball up!

Serve.

……

Jiang Hong took a bottle of ice water out of the insulated box and drank some.

Although Jiang Hong had done his best in the third game.

However, they still couldn't break through the opponent's serve!

2: 1!

Jiang Hong is temporarily behind.

It was a bit better than the first game; at least we got two points.

Jiang Hong frowned, but not because of his own lagging behind.

In Davydenko's service games, the game is usually decided within five shots.

It's either scoring or losing points.

When facing a ball more than five shots away, if the distance covered is too great, the opponent will choose to give up.

Is it...

A possibility arose in Jiang Hong's mind.

However, this still needs to be verified.

The game continued with the referee's instructions!

The fourth game, Jiang Hong's serve.

Zhang Sheng stared at the court and said, "It's Xiao Jiang's serve now. I wonder if he can seize the opportunity. Xiao Jiang is about to serve..."

Throw the ball, push off the ground, rotate your body, and swing the racket!
With a fluid and effortless movement, the tennis ball flew straight into Davydenko's half of the court.

boom!
After a quick lateral movement, Davydenko immediately swung his racket and blasted the ball toward Jiang Hong's baseline.

Jiang Hong started walking and took his position in advance.

The attack was a forehand shot, but no cross-court shot was taken.

Instead, they chose to change lanes, but not in a tricky way; they attacked the middle lane instead.

However, Davydenko showed no mercy, immediately delivering a flat forehand shot that sent the ball to the right bottom edge.

Upon seeing the other party's movements, Jiang Hong immediately took action!
He pushed off the ground with his right heel and sprang forward, his body quickly moving sideways to the left.

The left leg extended half a meter towards the sideline first.

Swish!
The soles of the shoes rubbed against the court.

Before he could fully regain his balance, Jiang Hong slid across the ground with his right leg.

In the blink of an eye, his entire body appeared in front of the landing point of the tennis ball.

With a slight flick of his wrist, he reversed his grip on the racket and launched himself directly at the tennis ball.

boom!
Jiang Hong pulled a diagonal line directly.

"Xiao Jiang's lateral movement and sliding step was so beautiful to watch. The ball landed very deep, between the sideline and the baseline. We'll see how Davydenko handles it!"

Davydenko adjusted his stance with small, quick steps, then unleashed a powerful forehand, lowering his shoulder as if to strike horizontally.

Jiang Hong immediately started running and positioning himself.

Unexpectedly, Davydenko suddenly reduced his force and changed his hitting motion.

With a flick of the wrist, the tennis ball flew past the net and landed in front of the net.

"Grass!"

Jiang Hong couldn't help but spit out a curse at himself for being fooled by the feint.

However, he did not stop what he was doing.

Suddenly, Jiang Hong pushed off the ground with the back of his foot and turned, instantly crossing his legs and rushing forward!
Chi!
The ground and the field made a screeching sound.

Before the tennis ball bounced twice, Jiang Hong delivered a backhand slice!
He hit the ball directly to the right side of the net.

Jiang Hong's drop shot technique can be described as highly refined, making it difficult for the opponent to intercept.

Bang bang bang!
After bouncing a few times on the ground, the tennis ball began to roll!

15: 0!

"Jiang Hong's footwork is so beautiful! I was even worried that his ankle might break after that turn, he was so fast!" Zhang Sheng shook his head and exclaimed in admiration of Jiang Hong's speed.

"This ball was placed very well, choosing a diagonal line to increase the difficulty of returning it!" Pan Bing added from the side.

Zhang Sheng coughed and said with some surprise, "However, Davydenko didn't follow up with the net and chose to give up on the ball!"

Jiang Hong stood up and saw Davydenko's position, a smile appearing on his lips.

"Guessed it right!"

Davydenko is a very active player who plays around the baseline.

However, the opposing team made very few proactive runs during the match.

Most of the time, he moves Jiang Hong around by using his own shot lines. Once Davydenko is moved around, he will give up if he runs too far!

It seems the opponent hasn't recovered from the strain of the US Open.

After all, the best-of-five format of Grand Slam tournaments is a very demanding test of physical fitness.

It's normal for the opponent to have physical problems after competing almost non-stop.

A smile appeared on Jiang Hong's lips.

"Old comrade, don't blame me for being uncivilized!"
