Chapter 212 Singing forward
The score in the first set was 6-0, and Frank Parker was also shaved by Chen Qiang.
Frank Parker has long realized that there is no chance of winning in this game. Whether it is a serve or a serve game, Frank Parker is passive everywhere, and almost every goal is supported. The reason why Frank Parker can persist until now is not because he hopes that miracles can happen and that he can turn defeat into victory, but because the dignity of professional players makes him unable to give up the game so easily.
After the torture of six innings, Frank Parker still couldn't hold on and chose to abstain. Perhaps for Frank Parker, this kind of investment acceptance of the loss was also a decent ending.
After admitting defeat, Frank Parker breathed a sigh of relief. He had played tennis for more than ten years and had lost many games, but he had never lost as much as he is today.
Throughout the game, Frank Parker felt like a puppet, completely manipulated by someone. He did not show his own characteristics, or he had no chance to show his own characteristics at all.
And until the moment Frank Parker abstained, he didn't know how he lost.
Chen Qiang was a little surprised at the result of such a game. He did not expect that his advantage would be so great. Even the No. 7 seed of the United States had no power to fight back in front of him.
"I thought it would take some trouble to win this game, but I didn't expect the victory to be so easy. No wonder later generations commented that tennis before the Open era could only be considered amateur level, and were all seed players of the US Open, but it was still so vulnerable. It seems that tennis skills in the 21st century can easily beat tennis players in the 1930s."
Chen Qiang carefully analyzed and found that athletes of this era would not deal with topspin at all, which is also the main reason for his victory.
By the time the 21st century, the top spun ball had become the number one weapon for tennis. Every world's top player must have the world's top spun ball, and even the extreme spinning top spun ball like Nadal.
The one who truly brings the characteristics of the top spun ball to the extreme is naturally the "Tennis King" Federer. Federer's forehand has many changes, amazing power, and accurate landing points. He is called the "hand of God". In fact, the characteristics of the top spun ball falling quickly, hitting the front rush, having high stability, and easy control of the landing points are maximized.
Of course, Federer's "Hand of God" is not just a top spun ball. In the future, countless tennis coaches and tennis players will study Federer's "Hand of God" and imitate and learn Federer's "Hand of God", but no one can do what Federer looks like.
In the 21st century, players with excellent top-spin skills were able to win the four major slams of tennis, which was obviously the trend of tennis development. So in the 1930s, this set of technology was of course invincible. It can be said that Chen Qiang brought the technology that dominated the tennis world in the 21st century to the 1930s, of course, it was invincible.
This is like using war in the 21st century to deal with the enemies in the 1930s. The soldiers in the 1930s were still digging trenches, building bunkers, setting up machine guns, and setting up artillery positions. However, they didn't know that the soldiers in the 21st century had locked them with satellites, and then pressed a button and launched the missile, and the bunker positions were suddenly destroyed. The soldiers in the 1930s would be confused and didn't know how to lose. They didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, so why were they wiped out?
Tennis players in the 1930s were like this when facing tennis skills in the 21st century. Even if they lost the ball, they didn’t know how they lost. They would think, I had no problem playing at all, why did they lose!
...
When Chen Qiang defeated Lanas before, it did not attract people's attention. After all, it was just the first round of the US Open, and Lanas and Chen Qiang were not seed players, so it was normal for no one to pay attention to it. Even in later generations, in the first round of the four Grand Slams, there would not be a detailed report on the non-seed players' competitions.
However, when Chen Qiang defeated Frank Parker, the situation was completely different. Frank Parker was the No. 7 seed of the US. In theory, such a seed should not be eliminated before the fourth round. However, Chen Qiang eliminated Frank Parker in the second round, which was equivalent to a big upset.
More importantly, Frank Parker actually surrendered directly after losing 0 to 6, which surprised many people.
The No.7 American seed is also among the top ten among all contestants. Such a high-level player was shaved and bald, and I am afraid that even the No.1 seed Don Bach could not do it.
At this time, even the slowest person has realized that Chen Qiang's strength in tennis is definitely extraordinary. Being able to enter the third round of the US Open can be considered a top tennis expert, and the promotion of the US No. 7 seed is of great value.
...
Chen Qiang's next opponent is Joseph Hunter, who is only 19 years old and is a freshman at the University of Southern California. However, the strength of this freshman cannot be underestimated. He won the championship of the US Ojai Championship not long ago, which is also his first adult group championship.
In history, Joseph Hunter once won the US Open championship in 1943, and he is also the only single player to win the US junior championship (under 15 years old), youth championship (under 18 years old), college championship and US Open championship at the same time.
However, this Joseph Hunter died young. After the outbreak of World War II, Joseph Hunter participated in the US military and became a lieutenant of the US Navy. In February 1945, when World War II was about to end, a turret training mission cost him his life.
Although Joseph Hunter is not a seed player, he is a tennis star in college. In the United States, the athletes in college are very attractive, so the game between Joseph Hunter and Chen Qiang attracted a lot of spectators, and the scene was almost full.
Many young people came to the scene to watch Joseph Hunter's game, and there were many young girls. However, just speaking of their appearance, Joseph Hunter was indeed very handsome and had a very good figure. He was a young man at that time and could definitely attract the attention of many opposite sexes.
Joseph Hunter once won the American Youth Group Championship and the Youth Group Championship, and he never lost the game after entering college. His growth experience made him very confident in himself and looked like a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger.
Moreover, Joseph Hunter grew up in Southern California. In 1938, many tennis courts in the western United States were the products of Roosevelt's New Deal, mainly concrete floors, rather than grasslands or clay fields. This concrete floor was somewhat similar to the cement hard ground of the later US Open. Joseph Hunter, who was used to hitting concrete floors, was a power player, and was very threatening to serve and was good at aggressive Internet interception.
This is the characteristic of players who have been playing hard ground on the ground for a long time. In the future, many American tennis players are the same. There is never a shortage of "heavy gunners" among American players, which is related to the fact that most American tennis courts are hard ground.
...
Unlike Lanas and Frank Parker before, although Joseph Hunter has been beaten by Chen Qiang, he did not choose to abstain. Even though the score in the first two sets was 6-0, Joseph Hunter still insisted on playing to the third set. His persistence also brought rewards. With continuous attempts, Joseph Hunter gradually found a way to catch the top spun.
As the saying goes, you can't fall twice from the same place. If you suffer too much, stupid people will change it. What's more, Joseph Hunter is not stupid at all. On the contrary, he is very smart and talented. So he slowly found a way to deal with the top spun ball, at least he can catch the ball.
"I was 0-2 behind in the big score, but fortunately the game is a five-game three-win system. Next, I only need to win three sets in a row, so the victory still belongs to me!"
Faced with adversity, Joseph Hunter was not discouraged, but was full of fighting spirit and planned to make a comeback in the next three games.
Joseph Hunter serves, this time the serving is of high quality, strong force and fast speed.
Chen Qiang received this ball, but the quality of receiving serves was relatively average. Faced with such high-quality fast balls, it takes some luck to catch them well, in addition to skills.
Joseph Hunter on the opposite side also realized that Chen Qiang's reception of the serve was not of high quality. He did not give up this opportunity, but directly returned the ball to the opposite side, making Chen Qiang need to run more distances to receive the ball.
In the next few beats, Joseph Hunter made full use of the advantages accumulated during serving and kept mobilizing Chen Qiang to run back and forth at the bottom line. Because Joseph Hunter's ball speed was very fast, Chen Qiang ran back and forth in the backcourt, but never regained the initiative on the field.
This kind of stalemate is not dangerous for Chen Qiang. At most, it is just a few more steps. Joseph Hunter's batting seems to be constantly mobilizing Chen Qiang, but it gives Chen Qiang a lot of room for defense. Basically, when the ball comes over, Chen Qiang can also run to the corresponding defensive position.
This kind of bottom-line stalemate is also the mainstream way of tennis in this era. At that time, all tennis players played like this, but in the process of stalemate, once there was a suitable opportunity, the players would choose to intercept the Internet.
At this time, Joseph Hunter seemed to feel that now was a very suitable time to access the Internet.
"It's now, intercept the Internet!" Joseph Hunter's thought came to his mind, his body had already moved and rushed to the front of the Internet.
The audience around us exclaimed a burst of exclamations. In that era, online interception was considered the most spectacular offensive move in tennis.
Joseph Hunter appeared on the ball route and then swung his slap and hit the ball back across the net, while he was ready to celebrate his successful score.
In tennis in the 1930s, online interception was the most enjoyable offensive action and the most unsolvable offensive action. Players of this era would not deal with online interception at all, so as long as the opponent successfully completed an online interception, it basically means scoring.
But for Chen Qiang, it is not impossible to catch the opponent's interception.
In the ntrp scoring criteria, it is still difficult to get the opponent's interception with a score of 3.5, while the 4.0 score is able to catch the far-range interception and the low-net interception.
This time, Joseph Hunter used a low net interception. The height of the ball was not high and directly hit Chen Qiang's open position in the half.
However, what Joseph Hunter did not expect was that Chen Qiang had already seen through his batting route, and then took a few steps forward and happened to appear in a very good receiving position.
Chen Qiang swung his slap and hit the ball. The control of the top spun ball on the tennis landing point also made the tennis ball fly to the rear of Joseph Hunter without any bias.
"What!" Joseph Hunter was shocked. He never expected that someone could catch the interception!
The next second, the audience also became excited.
"Did you see it? He caught the interception!"
"My God, how did he do it?"
"This is the first time I've seen someone catch a ball in a game!"
Even in later generations, the action of successfully catching the interception can be cut into the exciting collection. In the 1930s, such technology was even more amazing!
On the other side, Joseph Hunter looked at Chen Qiang with an incredible look.
"Coincidentally, this must be a coincidence. He just happened to complete the hit just now!"
Joseph Hunter comforted himself and then prepared to serve again.
A few minutes later, Joseph Hunter found another opportunity to intercept the Internet, so he chose to use the same trick again.
Chen Qiang also chose to reuse the same trick.
"Wait!" The sound of tennis falling from behind Joseph Hunter. Joseph Hunter looked back and saw that the tennis had rolled out of bounds.
Chen Qiang received the interception again!
Applause came from the audience again, and Joseph Hunter also realized that Chen Qiang had received the interception again.
If it is just once, it can be explained by coincidence, but if this happens twice, it is definitely not said that this is a coincidence.
"That Chinese man, he really mastered the method of catching the interception!" Joseph Hunter looked at Chen Qiang with a surprised look. Although he witnessed all this from the perspective of the victim, Joseph Hunter still couldn't believe it.
At this moment, Joseph Hunter had lost confidence and his idea of winning three sets in a row disappeared without a trace.
Joseph Hunter's two major killers are serving and intercepting the Internet. With Chen Qiang's serving skills, it is difficult for him to directly threaten Chen Qiang, and at most it becomes a stalemate. The intercepting he relies on on the Internet has now been cracked by Chen Qiang. This means that Joseph Hunter's trick to survive is invalid in front of Chen Qiang. In the next game, it is very difficult for him to score.
Joseph Hunter has lost confidence and completed the third set in a daze, with the ending still 6-0.
In the third set, 6-0, the score was 3-0, Chen Qiang easily defeated Joseph Hunter and advanced to the fourth round of the US Open.
In theory, the fourth round will be the moment when the seed players meet. If nothing unexpected happens, Chen Qiang's opponent will be a seed player.
...
On another field, Australian player John Bromwich won a U.S. player in straight sets.
The scores of these three sets are 6-2, 6-3 and 6-2 respectively. Judging from the results, this is a game with a huge gap.
"The next round is the fourth round. My opponent should be the seventh-seeded American Frank Parker, right? No, I read the newspaper yesterday and Frank Parker was eliminated. The one who eliminated him was that Chinese. Could my opponent be that Chinese?"
Thinking of this, John Bromwich shook his head with a smile.
"The world's number one athlete, it's such a foolish title! But I also have a first title, I'm the No. 1 seed from a foreign country!"
Chapter completed!
