Tennis: He's so obedient!

Chapter 168 Our Highly Anticipated… Robredo, Falls! (Please Subscribe)

Robredo was also somewhat surprised by Jiang Hong's ace.

"You're in such good shape?"

It's surprising that they were able to get into the game so quickly, especially since the competition had just started.

Reaching the other baseline, Robredo lowered his body, his eyes fixed on Jiang Hong's movements, not daring to relax for a moment.

It started to move.

Jiang Hong tossed the tennis ball high into the air, his entire body seemingly drawn like a longbow, his racket rapidly striking the falling ball.

With a crisp "bang," the tennis ball pierced the net and hurtled towards Robredo's second court.

"Outside corner? Inside corner?" Robredo's eyes kept flashing as he pondered the landing point of the tennis ball.

Suddenly, I noticed the angle of Jiang Hong's racket.

"Outer corner!"

Robredo pushed off the ground with a thud and charged quickly to the left front.

Step your left foot across the sideline, lower your center of gravity, and generate power with your wrist.

The serve is received instantly, and the tennis ball flies at high speed with topspin.

With a rapid, relentless stride, Jiang Hong suddenly twisted his ankle, the sole of his shoe scraping against the ground.

Turn sideways to prepare the racket, then smash with a forehand.

He instantly struck the ball into Robredo's backhand opening.

The score has changed again, 30-0!
In the following goals, Jiang Hong strictly adhered to his tactical approach.

They kept launching attacks on Robredo, but Jiang Hong completely overwhelmed them right from the start.

In the first game, they only managed to score one point.

"1-0!"

The Spanish spectators in the stands were also somewhat bewildered at this point.

Robredo is a top-ten player in the world, while his opponent is just a young Asian player.

Although you have a significant advantage in your service game, it shouldn't be this easy to hold serve.

"Robbedo, wake up! Wake up!"

"It's only eight o'clock now, it's not time to rest yet."

"Go Robredo!"

The spectators in the stands were shouting loudly at Robredo on the field.

Robredo took a deep breath, gripped his racket, and couldn't help but frown.

This is only the first game, what's the rush!
Switch sides and change possession of the ball.

"Whoosh!" Robredo adjusted his stance slightly, first tapping the tennis ball on the ground with his racket.

There was no rush to serve, after all, Jiang Hong was in such hot form and needed to cool down.

Jiang Hong stood with his feet slightly apart, shoulder-width apart, holding the racket in front of him, and lightly hopping on his feet to ensure he could start immediately.

Finally, with the serve time almost over, Robredo tossed the ball into the air, pushed off the ground, and swung his racket!
The serve is powerful, with high ball speed and a tricky angle.

Heading straight for Jiang Hong's outer corner of the first zone, he must go out of bounds to receive the ball.

Jiang Hong took two steps forward, gripped his racket tightly with both hands, and swung his racket in a backhand smash.

He hit a cross-court shot, the tennis ball landed very deep, heading straight for the baseline.

Robredo adjusted his footwork slightly and tapped the ball directly into the open space on Jiang Hong's left.

The return shot carries topspin and bounces high after landing.

"They're about to score!"

The Spanish audience clenched their fists, ready to cheer.

Suddenly, a figure glided into view behind the baseline.

Turn your body to the side and assume a backswing position.

"A flat forehand?" Robredo immediately made a judgment based on the angle of Jiang Hong's hand.

He immediately took a step back and rushed towards the center line.

To avoid being moved by Jiang Hong.

When the tennis ball flew to Jiang Hong's waist, he suddenly made a move, changing the angle of his wrist, and the racket face directly cut into the lower side of the tennis ball.

"Not a normal attack?"

Seeing Jiang Hong's cutting posture, Robredo's expression changed instantly.

I've been tricked by Jiang Hong!
Jiang Hong flicked his wrist, and the tennis ball flew out lightly through the friction of the racket face.

The benefits of Jiang Hong's daily practice with small balls were evident at this moment.

The tennis ball had just crossed the line when it began to fall slowly, landing about 40 centimeters in front of the net.

Robredo swung his racket in frustration.

He did not choose to go to the net to save the ball because Jiang Hong went to the net immediately after returning the ball with a slice.

Given the quality of this ball, even if I went to the net to save it, I definitely wouldn't be able to dodge Jiang Hong's interception.

15: 0!
After losing another point in his service game, Robredo's eyes flickered.

To change tactics, we must showcase our strengths.

With that in mind, Robredo didn't dawdle any longer.

With a "bang," the tennis ball flew out.

Like a yellow-green lightning bolt, it struck Jiang Hong in the inner corner of Zone 2.

With a few quick steps and a slight lateral movement, he hit a small diagonal shot with his forehand.

"now it's right!"

Robredo's eyes lit up; he was least afraid of these baseline shots.

Run quickly to position yourself, turn your body to the side, and draw back your racket to hit the ball.

The return shot was heavy, heading straight for Jiang Hong's deep area.

This forced Jiang Hong to engage in a back-and-forth battle at the baseline.

Robredo was very confident in his baseline, and after a back-and-forth battle, Robredo suddenly made an unexpected sharp change of direction.

Jiang Hong couldn't save the ball in time, and it went directly into the net. 15:15.

"And it is!"

Robredo clenched his fist, not just because he had scored the point, but because his tactics had been effective.

It has to be said that players who can list baseline rallies as one of their specialties generally have a baseline ability of around 90.

After a brief stalemate, the score reached 3-2.

During the break between the two sets, Jiang Hong picked up a banana and took a bite.

Neither player has broken serve yet, but Robredo has regained his form after the baseline rallies.

Both the speed and the hitting were significantly better than in the first and second games.

At present, Jiang Hong's baseline technique is not his biggest advantage, so there is no need to compete with his opponent on the baseline.

To change tactics, we must play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses.

"Time!"

With the referee's reminder, Jiang Hong picked up his racket and returned to the court.

Robredo was noticeably more confident and opted for a flat serve.

The ball was fast and the angle was tricky, heading straight for the outer corner of the first zone.

However, Jiang Hong anticipated the serve the moment it was served and did not hit a deep ball as he usually does.

Instead, the ball landed outside the service line, making it a shallow shot.

Robredo's eyes lit up. "A mistake!"

Immediately step forward, landing diagonally behind the point where the tennis ball will land, and quickly draw back your racket, increasing your reaction speed by shortening the swing.

He struck the ball directly into Jiang Hong's backhand open space.

"coming!"

Jiang Hong pushed off the ground with his feet, unleashing his speed advantage.

The cross step followed by a slide step, and he appeared before the landing point with incredible speed.

Simply turn your body to the side and increase the power of your shot by rotating your body.

With a "bang," the racket's sweet spot struck the tennis ball, sending it flying back like a bullet.

Robredo quickly moved, slashing down with his left leg, lowering his center of gravity, and stretching his body to its limit in an attempt to save the ball.

But all he could do was watch the tennis ball pass through the racket and crash onto the court behind him.

15: 0!
"Beautiful! The serve was so tempting, the return was so smooth! Jiang Hong's tactics were brilliant!" Zhang Sheng couldn't help but exclaim.

Aunt Tong, who was standing nearby, exclaimed, "Huh? Wasn't it a mistake?"

Zhang Sheng said he didn't want to pay any attention to the other party!
The match continued, and in this round, Jiang Hong changed tactics and launched a counterattack.

The score is 40:30.

Robredo reached the serve point, and the spectators in the stands were thrilled.

They cheered loudly, while Jiang Hong's hundreds of supporters were overwhelmed by the crowd.

Robredo continued his powerful serve and successfully entered the penalty area.

Jiang Hong received the serve directly into Robredo's backhand opening.

However, Robredo was also very fast and managed to save the ball, hitting it into Jiang Hong's backhand deep area.

Jiang Hong and his opponent tugged at the baseline twice, and Robredo took the lead in changing direction to attack.

Suddenly, he hit the ball to Jiang Hong's backhand corner and moved his body to the right, assuming an attacking stance.

Jiang Hong suddenly chose to shoot a low-angle cross-court shot, smashing the ball into the opponent's left baseline.

Robredo quickly moved to the side and received the ball back with a forehand.

After Jiang Hong took his position, he directly struck the ball into the opponent's right corner, forcing Robredo to turn and retreat to defend.

Jiang Hong's ball speed was very fast, and Robredo had no time to adjust the angle of the return shot.

So he could only return the ball in a conventional way, but Jiang Hong wouldn't let this opportunity pass, and suddenly hit another shot to the left diagonal.

With Jiang Hong frantically changing direction, Robredo finally broke down, hastily swinging his racket and hitting the ball out of bounds.

40: 40.

"Huff, huff..." Robredo gasped for breath.

[Rhythm disruption and lane change: 1/10]
The progress bar for the suggestion flashed briefly, but Jiang Hong's only focus right now was winning the match; the suggestion was just a secondary consideration.

It would be best if we could complete it, but it's not a big deal if we can't.

Robredo continued serving, aiming straight for Jiang Hong's backhand.

Jiang Hong remained calm, quickly lowered his center of gravity, and suddenly twisted his wrist to cut with a reverse hand.

The tennis ball, spinning rapidly, hurtled towards Robredo's forehand corner.

Robredo takes a step to get the ball into position, turns his body to the side to prepare his racket, swings with his forehand, and suddenly changes the angle of his racket face at the moment of impact.

In an instant, the angle of the return shot suddenly increased, and the tennis ball, with sidespin, flew rapidly towards Jiang Hong's backhand sideline.

The audience stared wide-eyed at the tennis ball; the quality of the return was simply too high, and the angle was too tricky.

This forced Jiang Hong to the sidelines, and just when all the spectators thought Jiang Hong could only passively return the ball to Robredo's hands...

Suddenly, Jiang Hong twisted his wrist, instantly adjusting the racket face from the side to the front, and then struck the ball with sudden force during its upward trajectory after bouncing.

With a "snap," the tennis ball changed shape instantly.

The spectators in the stands stared wide-eyed as Jiang Hong did not choose the conventional, safer cross-court shot.

Instead, he drew a straight shot along the change of direction, aiming directly at Robredo's backhand opening.

Robredo had just returned the ball with a backhand and hadn't had time to regain his balance.

Facing the straight shot, he turned his head, pushed off the ground with his feet, and unleashed the power of his thigh muscles, forcefully twisting his body's center of gravity and lunging in the opposite direction.

He tried to block with his racket, but Jiang Hong's straight shot was too extreme and landed directly in the bottom corner.

Robredo could only watch helplessly as the tennis ball flew out of bounds.

"thump!"

The whole person fell to the ground.

A brief silence fell over the scene.

Robredo, on whom we had placed such high hopes, has fallen!!!
