Last night, the highly anticipated Chinese tennis hope star Shang Juncheng, who just turned 17 last month, played in the ATP main tournament for the first time, against the world number 60+ Spanish clay master Pedro Dinez! Clay masters can almost be said to be the native products of Spain, and Spanish tennis players have a poor understanding of clay! From the score point of view, 3:6 4:6 loss is not ugly, and it can even be said that it is relatively close, but if you watch the whole game, you will find that in fact, Shang Juncheng does not have a chance to win!
Maybe some fans will say: How can there be no chance, didn't you get three break points in the opponent's serve?
It is true that I have got three break points, but in the face of these three break points, I am extremely passive and have no chance, and even directly miss the wrong shot, thus wasting the break opportunity! The way the break points are wasted is almost a microcosm of the whole game!
Looking at the whole game, we can clearly see that there is still a significant gap between Shang Juncheng and the top 100 players in three aspects:
The first is the backshoot! At present, the backshoot of Shang Juncheng can basically achieve the stalemate without force, and the points at both ends! Stability is there, but the speed is slow, the oppression of the opponent is not enough, it is easier to become the opponent's opportunity to attack! If the opponent comes to the ball with a relatively high ball quality, Shang Juncheng can't defend it! In the last few lost matches, the opponent quickly discovered the weakness of his backhand, and the backhand that continued to attack Shang Juncheng got a lot of points and won!
The second is the serve! Serves are basically a stepping stone for ATP players! Without a strong serve, it's hard to win in professional men's tennis! For example, a shot must be able to destroy the opponent's serve, it is of course better to serve the ball straight, or you must also use one of the speed, rotation, and landing point to destroy the opponent's serve and create the opportunity for the second board to attack the next score! If you have a second shot, you don't need to pursue a straight serve, you just need to make the opponent pick up awkwardly, and it's not easy to grab the attack. And Shang Juncheng's current serve level, whether it is a first shot or a second serve, can not meet this standard, so that he can not get a simple score in the game, resulting in the pressure of the serve will be very large, each point needs to be the bottom line more than the entanglement, but also lead to the consumption of physical energy will be faster!
The third is to catch the ball! Last night, shang Juncheng in every serve of the opponent, almost all of them will have 1-3 direct mistakes! Originally, if it could be dragged into the bottom line and multi-shot competition, Shang Juncheng may not be at a disadvantage, but the direct mistake of the delivery, then it will not be the bottom line strength to determine the ownership of the points! Shang Juncheng took one shot after another, whether it was a backhand or a forehand, he used a large number of bump-and-block hair receivers, and the tactics were no problem! After all, the speed of a shot is fast, and the time required for the bump type hair extension is very short! But the shooting surface may be too closed, resulting in almost 80% of the delivery errors are hanging nets! Missteps are out of the bottom line and on the sidelines, and there are very few games out there! When you get the break point, you will bury the opportunity with a misstep. I was not surprised to lose a point in the game and make a direct mistake with a delivery shot!
Some people say that finding the gap with the top 100 players is also the value of the competition! I think this is only half right! Because, for Shang Juncheng, he can make up for the gap afterwards, then finding the gap is valuable! (Source: Tennis House Author: Yuan Youtai)
