Tennis: He's so obedient!

Chapter 110 Stalemate and Tug-of-War: The Breakthrough Point (Please Subscribe)
After the two serves, Jiang Hong discovered Cilic's serving characteristics.

Basically, every serve is aimed at the outside corner!

So when the opponent hits the ball, Jiang Hong immediately rushes towards the landing point with a clear goal!

boom!
The tennis ball slammed heavily onto the ground and bounced high into the air!

"Guessed it right!"

When the tennis ball rose to chest level, Jiang Hong had already taken his hitting stance!
With a forehand swing, he hit the ball directly towards the middle of Cilic's half of the court.

"how come?"

Cilic was somewhat surprised to see Jiang Hong appear at the return point.

The opponent actually guessed my serve position!

However, Cilic doesn't have time to think about that now; all he should do is put the ball back!

"So deep!"

Jiang Hong's return shot landed directly in front of Cilic's baseline.

Cilic was forced to retreat a step due to the ball's pressure.

Bang!
A crisp sound!
The return shot went straight to Jiang Hong's backhand far side.

"Xiao Jiang's position is too far from where the ball will land!" Zhang Sheng clapped his hands and shouted excitedly.

He had already decided the outcome of the ball in his mind!
Jiang Hong finally managed to receive Cilic's powerful serve, but ultimately failed.

"Wait, Xiao Jiang hasn't given up on this ball!"

Tap tap tap!!

Jiang Hong used crossover steps to quickly move sideways towards the landing point of the tennis ball!

"So fast!"

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Hong had already run the distance of both sidelines!

"Go back!"

Jiang Hong stepped forward with his left foot and turned to prepare for the shot.

Bang!
Jiang Hong miraculously saved him from his doom, as he was heading straight for a dead end.

"Is Xiao Jiang still on the offensive?"

Zhang Sheng stared wide-eyed at the scene unfolding on the field.

Jiang Hong swung his racket, pulling the tennis ball straight down the sideline towards the opponent's left corner!

Tap tap... Sizzle!

The soles of his shoes made a scraping sound against the court. Cilic used a crossover step and a sliding step, but in the end, he couldn't catch up with Jiang Hong's return shot!

"Xiao Jiang's perfect cross-court shot turned into a straight shot was of such high quality that Cilic couldn't save the ball, and we successfully won the first point of the second game!" Zhang Sheng said excitedly after taking a sip of water.

30: 15!

"Xiao Jiang is running way too fast!"

"Indeed, I felt that ball was basically doomed, I didn't expect it to be saved!"

"The counter-attack was already being planned when they made the save!"

The audience excitedly discussed Jiang Hong's final return shot.

"Huhuhu..."

Cilic was panting heavily. He looked up and saw Jiang Hong clench his fist, celebrate briefly, and then change his receiving point to prepare for the next ball!

Jiang Hong's speed is simply outrageous!
"No, if I can't hold serve in this game, and the whole match stays deadlocked, I'll be the one who loses in the end!"

For the fourth ball, Cilic changed his serving strategy and did not choose a powerful flat serve.

Instead, he opted for a hook serve, forcing Jiang Hong to come to the net.

He then followed up with an aerial interception, hitting the ball directly into Jiang Hong's open forehand position.

"Yes!"

40: 15!

After scoring the point, Cilic let out an excited roar.

It seemed as if he had regained his confidence.

Cilic tosses the tennis ball high into the air, pushes off the ground, leaps into the air, and hits the ball!
boom!
With a loud bang, the tennis ball flew out of its spot!
Jiang Hong immediately started browsing the internet, but suddenly stopped halfway through.

"Snapped!"

Cilic's powerful flat shot went into the net, first shot failed, time to prepare for the second shot!

"another one!"

Suddenly, the audience in the stands shouted excitedly. After all, the tension was palpable when Cilic got hold point!

After his first mistake, he couldn't help but shout.

After the referee signaled for silence, no further shouting was made.

Cilic tossed the ball up, drew his racket overhead, and swung it down heavily.

It slammed directly and hard onto the tennis ball.

"A violent, flat attack?"

Jiang Hong was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Cilic would be so bold as to use a flat serve on his second serve!
He immediately started moving quickly, taking long strides towards the net!

"call!"

When Jiang Hong arrived at the landing point and swung his racket, the tennis ball had already passed through the racket and was flying towards the sideline.

"We were still a step too late!"

Jiang Hong turned his head and glanced at the tennis ball!
"Game!"

"Marin Cilic, 1-1!"

"Change possession!"

Both sides held serve and were back on level terms!

In the following match, both players showcased their strengths and techniques.

They chased each other, locked in a tug-of-war!
"The match between Xiao Jiang and Cilic was really exciting. I believe that the two of them will definitely make a name for themselves in the tennis world in the future!"

"I'm so nervous! I've never been this nervous, not even when I've been commentating on the deciding set of a Grand Slam!"

"Jiang should be able to participate in the Australian Open qualifiers next year, I'm really looking forward to it!"

While Jiang Hong and Cilic were locked in a tug-of-war, Zhang Sheng started joking around.

The two sides have reached the eighth game and have not been able to widen the gap.

Both Jiang Hong and Cilic have completed their service hold periods.

This is Cilic's serve, the score is 30-30!

Cilic wiped his sweat with a towel and glanced at Jiang Hong across from him.

"Doesn't this guy get tired?"

It was already the eighth game, and she was still running so fast while trying to save the ball.

To be honest, although Cilic is tall, he is not clumsy at all; on the contrary, he moves very quickly laterally.

However, compared to Jiang Hong's speed, there was a world of difference!
Cilic took a deep breath and returned to his serving position!
The ball is tossed, the racket is drawn back, and a crisp sound is heard.

The tennis ball flew past the net like a cannonball and smashed into the outer corner of Jiang Hong's first court!
The speedometer display showed a serve speed of 210 km/h!

The ball is moving very fast!
However, Jiang Hong had already started moving, stepping forward to meet the tennis ball.

The serve was too fast; even though Jiang Hong had moved ahead of time, he could only barely reach the tennis ball!

He returned a flat shot into the shallow area.

However, Cilic will not let Jiang Hong's mistake go unpunished.

He immediately moved to a new position and powerfully slammed the ball to the opposite corner with his forehand.

The tennis ball grazed the net and plummeted straight into the corner!

"It's over!" Zhang Sheng suddenly muttered. This goal was basically a death sentence!

Just then, Jiang Hong turned around and quickly returned to defend the baseline.

Suddenly, he pushed off with his foot and lunged towards the landing point of the tennis ball!

He forcefully slammed the ball back with a backhand!

This return shot carried a strong sidespin and headed straight for Cilic's backhand corner!

Cilic moved quickly, but lost his balance and stumbled, his racket hitting the tennis ball.

The angle is not right, so it cannot be completely covered.

After hitting the racket, the tennis ball flew out of bounds and crashed into the stands.

The audience members, even though they knew Jiang Hong's speed was extraordinary, couldn't help but gasp in amazement at what they saw!
"OUT! (Out of bounds)"

As the linesman's voice rang out, the score on the scoreboard reached 30:40!

Jiang Hong successfully secured the first breakthrough point of the match.
