The main lineup of the NCAA tennis team has a total of six singles seats and six doubles seats, and there are also six substitute positions. Among them, it is very common for singles players to play doubles games—
In the team competition, a total of three doubles matches and six singles matches are required.
It is precisely because of this that even freshmen can also compete for the main position.
Previously, the autumn season from September to November had just come to an end. The Bruins, a traditional NCAA tennis powerhouse, had a total of four players entering the national singles rankings. Naturally, these four players also entered the main lineup, including MacDonald served as the fourth single.
In addition, the four players including Gao Wen have their own strengths and weaknesses, and their record and strength are comparable. They will compete for the positions of No. 5 singles and No. 6 singles.
Therefore, the first small goal after rebirth is No. 6—no, it should be the singles position of No. 1.
"How about it, Mike, let's start training now."
Gawain was eagerly jumping, like a deer, bouncing and rushing towards the court.
Macdonald was dumbfounded, "Now? But, the coaches will take a while..."
Winter training means that the entire tennis team trains together to prepare for the spring season.
However, according to the express regulations of the NCAA, the weekly training time is not allowed to exceed 20 hours. This is to protect the career life of the players, avoid premature injuries, and also to ensure the completion of their studies.
During the offseason, the total weekly training time is reduced to nine hours, because December is also the time for the final exam of the university. Before the Christmas holiday, students still have heavy learning and exam tasks to complete. For the NCAA That said, this is the absolute bottom line that cannot be shaken.
It is precisely because of this that winter training is easier than usual training.
Now, before the team's coaching staff and other teammates arrived at the training ground, Gao Wen couldn't wait to go out for training, and Macdonald was full of question marks:
Although Gao Wen's training is usually very hard, it is rare to see him in such a hurry. What happened today?
In a daze, MacDonald also rushed out, and then he could see that Gao Wen had already started serving practice.
In tennis, the serving part is the most special, because it is the only part that is not interfered by the opponent and is completely in your own hands.
Once the serve is completed, the next round is a contest between players, confrontation, calculation, pressure, and counterattack. Both sides need to complete one decision after another that may change the direction of the game within a thousandth of a second. They're all holding each other back.
It can be said that it is changing rapidly!
This also highlights the importance of serving. If you can establish an advantage through serving, you will be able to seize the opportunity in the next round.
In fact, after understanding the connection between tennis and table tennis, you can better understand the sport of tennis—
This is table tennis now - the International Table Tennis Federation calls it "-Table-Tennis-", although the literal translation of "Ping-Pong" has gradually become widely known, but "Table Tennis" is still the official name of table tennis.
Once you understand table tennis, you will also be able to understand tennis initially.
These two sports are also about the art of rotation, they also need the strong support of strength and explosiveness, they also need the continuous calculation of the brain, and they also pay equal attention to the advantages established by the right to serve—the attacking layout of the first three shots is often able to pull Open the gap.
The importance of serving is self-evident.
However, when it comes to specific serving techniques, there are obvious differences between table tennis and tennis.
Serving in tennis is a whole-body action:
Bend your knees, kick the ground, straighten your knees, twist your waist, and straighten your back; then pour all your strength towards the racket, complete friction and pressing down, and throw it out with all your strength like swinging a whip.
This is a coherent movement, the power is initiated from the soles of the feet, and after a series of movements, it is poured into the palms. If there is a problem in any link, the serving effect may not be satisfactory.
In the fierce competition, in the second half of the game, the physical strength is seriously reduced, the thighs cannot be kicked off the ground, and the strength of the legs cannot be transmitted upwards, so they can only rely on the strength of the arms and shoulders to complete the serving action, so the speed and accuracy will be high. Rapid decline, even continuous mistakes.
Andy-Roddick, the top superstar who is known as one of the best server players in history, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com Just look at his serving action:
The knees are like springs, and the whole movement of kicking the ground and exerting force is very full. The body is like a full bow, pouring all the strength on the racket, and you can even see the tennis ball being directly flattened at the moment of the serve, creating a cannon serve. Effect.
Therefore, tennis serve training is also very complicated.
In the absence of the ball, basic movement exercises, movement decomposition exercises, complete movement exercises, and five hundred swings are commonplace.
In the case of the ball, it is necessary to repeat the above actions to continuously deepen the muscle memory and stabilize the serving action. It is also common to serve two hundred.
And these are all just training the serve movement, and have not really entered the actual combat practice.
Next, practice different types of serve, such as flat shots that pursue extreme speed, spin shots that focus on placement, and sliced shots that make full use of skills. Still haven't entered the actual combat practice.
Then, there is the landing practice, which is the so-called serving practice.
The first stage of practice is to divide the teeing area into nine grids, and each time the teeing point is required to enter the designated target area.
In the second stage, the Jiugong grid will be developed into "Nine Nine Eighty-One Grid", with a total of 81 small grids. The goal is to enter the designated area every time the ball hits—
It can be called perverted.
Therefore, those top serve masters often start with 500 shots in their daily practice.
Right now, considering that the tennis court is not divided into nine grids, Gao Wen is practicing a simplified version of the landing serve against the wall, and the sound of bang bang bang is particularly pleasant.
