Hass silently watched Zhang Guan, but he was constantly analyzing the current situation on the court.
"I watched the video of the game between Zhang Guan and Nalbandian before. I thought that Zhang Guan might use the on the net service. Unexpectedly, he used this heavy artillery service, and the choice of landing was near the out of bounds, is he intentionally creating pressure on me? I was originally planning to put some pressure on him, but now he is putting pressure on me. But this ball of pressure can only be regarded as good luck, I was blinded by you two times in a row, and I shouldn't have that good luck after taking it! "
At this time, Zhang Guan finally lifted his hand to serve, and this ball is the same as before.
"It's this ball again! Are you planning on going out of bounds?" As Haas flew past, his eyes were fixed on the landing point.
"Bang!" The ball bounced on the ground. This time the landing point looks similar to the last ball, it seems to be out of bounds, and it seems to be holding the line, and the more similar point is that Haas still missed this ball.
The line referee was stunned, experienced the first two misjudgments, and now facing the same goal, making the line referee hesitate. In his view, this ball should be out of bounds, but he also felt the same in the first two goals, and in the end, the Hawk-Eye system showed that the ball was in bounds.
"No more misjudgment." The line referee was on a cautious reason and did not take a penalty out of bounds.
"40-0!" The referee announced the score.
Haas frowned, but for this ball, Haas was very close to the ball's landing point. In Haas's sight, the ball's landing point was out of bounds, but the line referee did not give a penalty.
"Am I wrong? No, I'm closer to this ball. The ball just now shouldn't be pressed on the line. It may be an out-of-bounds ball." Haas had some doubts, but he didn't see clearly. He wasn't willing to use a challenge to verify his doubts.
On the contrary, it was Zhang Guan on the opposite side. He felt a sigh of relief. The surface of this ball looks similar to the two balls just now, but it is out of bounds. Zhang Guan has learned through the Hawk-Eye of the system, but the line referee has received the impact of continuous misjudgment, this time the penalty should be a lot more cautious, with no penalty out of bounds, Zhang Guan felt very lucky.
"Good luck, I earned this point!" Zhang Guan took a breath, and then served the same way just now.
"Wow!" This time, the ball's landing point is the same as it was just now.
The line referee still didn't give a penalty out of bounds. Two times the same goal, the first one didn't get out of bounds, and the second one out of bounds is equivalent to hitting himself in the face, which is inappropriate.
However, Haas didn't do it, because if he lost this ball, he would lose the first game, and it would become a love-game loss.
"I saw this ball, it was indeed out of bounds, the referee did not make a penalty! This line referee is unreliable!" Hass stared annoyedly at the line referee, then signaled to the referee, "I want to challenge!"
The opposite Zhang Guan heard this sentence, but his face slightly changed, because he knew that the ball was indeed a ball out of bounds.
"Just now was Zhang Guan's two consecutive challenges. Now it's Haas' turn. This is an interesting game. Haas seems to bet on this goal with confidence," The commentator said.
Sure enough, the 3D simulation picture displayed on the big screen showed that the ball was out of bounds. The edge of the ball was just outside the sideline, although it was only a little bit, based on an out-of-bounds ball.
"It's a foul ball, a foul ball! Haas's challenge was also successful. I think Haas is relatively close to the ball's landing point, so he can judge that this is a foul ball! Oops, the line referee again made another misjudgment, which reminded me of the last goal, and the landing point is the same as now. The line referee thinks that it is a good ball, and neither side has no challenge. Maybe that one ball was just a foul ball too!"The audience began to grieve for Haas. He expressed his dissatisfaction with the line referee. There have been three misjudgments in a game. The line referee's performance today is unqualified.
The line referee was also very annoyed. He made a misjudgment on this goal. He also realized that in the last goal, he may also have misjudged, but only that the two sides did not challenge the last goal.
"I just thought this ball was an out-of-bounds ball, but I didn't dare to judge it. It seems that I was affected by the previous two misjudgments, so I was a little too cautious about the penalty. I should still trust my judgment! The influence of other factors." The referee made up his mind.
This ball, the referee's penalty is to serve again, rather than a single mistake, Haas has no objection to this. In this case, the referee's mistakes cannot allow the serving player to take the blame. In general, a penalty is not counted and the two sides serve again.
It is possible for the server to score directly if the challenger succeeds, but to re-serve the ball if the challenger succeeds. This sounds a bit unfair, but this is the case in the tennis game. The server has advantages in all aspects, including challenging the rules of the Hawk-Eye use. And considering that the serving opportunities against the two sides are equal, it is fair.
Because this ball was sentenced to re-issue, Zhang Guan still has two opportunities.
Zhang Guan started to serve again. This time he adjusted the drop point slightly to control the drop point of the ball closer to the backline.
"Boom!" After the tennis ball hit the ground, Haas had already run to the position and returned a forehand to return the ball. Unfortunately, the return quality of the ball was not very good.
"OUT!" The line referee's voice sounded at the same time, and at this time Haas' return ball was still not in the air. The phrase "OUT" indicates that Zhang Guan's serve was out of bounds.
The line referee's expression was extremely firm, and he was confident in his sentence this time.
At the next moment, everyone looked at Zhang Guan, and they looked forward to Zhang Guan's third challenge.
However, Zhang Guan slowly took out the spare tennis ball from the pocket of his pants and prepared for a second serve. Because Zhang Guan knew that there was no problem with the penalty for this ball, it was indeed a foul ball.
"Hey..." Instead, the audience showed a disappointed expression, and everyone expected Zhang Guan to challenge Hawk-Eyes for the third time and did not appear.
"Zhang Guan did not challenge Hawk-eye. Seriously, when I heard that 'OUT', I thought Zhang Guan would challenge Hawk-eye again! But it seems that Zhang Guan is also very self-knowledge. Isn't he right? Very confident, or maybe he dare not gamble again." The commentator said.
"My punishment is correct! Sure enough, I still have to stick to my judgment." The line referee said because this judgment was correct, his confidence came back suddenly.
Zhang Guan started his second serve. This time he chose the opposite side of the first serve, but the ball still hit the sideline.
Haas didn't receive the ball, but he stopped and stared closely at the place where the tennis ball landed, recalling whether the ball fell within the bounds.
The number 211km appeared on the display on the sidelines, indicating that the ball's speed has reached an astonishing 211km per hour!
"OUT!" The line referee's firm voice sounded. This time he straightened his waist and spoke a bit louder. He was very confident in his judgment at this time.
"I want to challenge it!" Zhang Guan again signaled to the referee.
The audience cheered immediately. Although the result of the challenge has not yet come out, Zhang Guan initiated the challenge, which is the long-awaited plot. For these audiences, the result of watching the challenge Hawk-Eye is better than watching the game since the process is more interesting.
The narrator suddenly came to the spirit, "Zhang Guan wants to challenge Hawk-eye, he has to challenge again. If the challenge fails and the ball does go out of bounds, then the score will come to 40-15, Haas still has a chance to break; and if Zhang Guan's challenge is successful, I think he can successfully win the first game!"
After a few seconds, a 3D simulation picture finally appeared on the big screen. Whether Zhang Guan's challenge was successful or not, the answer will be announced soon!
