【Match Point】【】
Djokovic was a little aggrieved.
In just half a year, Djokovic and Gao Wen have played against each other four times, and the current total record is one win and three losses behind, and all of them came from hard court matches.
It's unusual, very, very unusual, that feeling, like Federer and Nadal early in his career, all-around downside.
But since he completed his transformation and climbed to the top of the world, he has not been so passive for a long, long time.
Didn't Djokovic realize this?
of course not.
Not only is he aware of it, but he is deeply impressed that he has been trying to adjust, trying to rediscover his rhythm of the game.
In London, he succeeded, learned the lessons of Paris, upgraded in an all-round way, controlled the game, turned the situation around, and it was undoubtedly a success.
However!
After experiencing the tempering of the offseason, Gao Wen once again completed his transformation. The season of youth and frivolity is the stage of explosive growth of strength and thriving.
Arriving in Melbourne, Gao Wen became more mature, more comprehensive, and more powerful, like a sharp edge that had been honed by frost, shining with brilliance.
In the terrible situation of being extremely passive and extremely difficult in the finals, Gao Wen successfully found the key to overturning the situation of the battle, and once again took the initiative in the confrontation.
The core key is in the two shots just now:
One forehand slash and one forehand straight.
The key point is not whether forehand or backhand, or slash or straight line, but the ability to capture fighters, create opportunities, and strike decisively.
A spirit of competition.
Not only bold, but also crazy; at the same time, Gao Wen also has the ability to evolve his ideas into reality, which makes the situation difficult.
Just like this time.
what to do?
At a critical moment, you can see the demeanor of the world's number one.
Surrender?
Absolutely impossible!
Surrender, the word is not an option at all, Djokovic is fully focused, aware of Gao Wen's shot, and has already reacted.
Kick off.
move.
gallop.
sprint.
Djokovic shows off his top-notch mobility —
When it comes to moving, the first impression that pops up in people's minds is Nadal's immortality, Hewitt's hare, Schwarzman's small steel cannon and the new generation of De Minaur's scud; But in fact, Djokovic and Murray move no less.
The wind was fast and the eyes were dazzled, and it seemed that an afterimage could be seen dragging behind it, melting into the strong wind in Indian Wells.
In a blink of an eye!
Djokovic appeared from one end of the baseline to the other end, and his light and agile footsteps seemed to have disappeared.
at the same time.
Djokovic noticed Gawain's backspin, which meant that the tennis ball didn't have much rebound power after landing, and the space for hitting the ball was very limited.
Therefore, Djokovic thought of a countermeasure early on, turned his back to the court sideways, and used his signature hard slide to gain time to hit the ball.
Then, the two-handed backhand can no longer be stretched, so I simply use a one-handed backhand, just like a top sashimi chef, the racket is his chef's knife, gently cut everything, and the sashimi as thin as a cicada's wings is born —

【Match Point】【】
You can't feel any power at all, but the effect is amazing.
Tennis, fly back.
Moreover, the arc was not fully pulled up, almost sticking to the net and flying at low altitude.
The whole control, the whole package, unrivaled in the world.
Djokovic's handling not only won time and space for himself, quickly completed adjustments, and prepared for the next shot; his excellent skills and soft touch turned the situation around again, even if there was no room for swinging. Still controlled the return ball in his way.
Wonderful!
It's so exciting that it makes your scalp tingle, and it makes you want to stand and applaud!
The tennis ball rushed back along the diagonal, and landed on the outside sideline of the left teeing area of Gao Wen's half.
Press the line accurately!
Not only is it a downspin, but it is also a side spin. After landing, it goes out and continues to spin at a high speed.
Obviously Djokovic fell into a completely passive situation, but it was the handling of this beat that turned the situation around again and pushed Gawain to the edge of the cliff.
Peak duel, well-deserved reputation.
So, what about Gao Wen?
Gao Wen is moving, like Djokovic, moving in a large range on the horizontal axis of the baseline, and the two figures are moving towards his left side at the same time.
staggered.
The footsteps, from long strides to small strides, are adjusted while sprinting, and the peripheral vision is always observing the opponent's shots.
Although Gawain expected that Djokovic would choose a diagonal line and move ahead of time, this time, Djokovic's calculations were ahead.
A side spin plus external spin is better than Gao Wen's line change just now. After landing, he bounces outward, increasing the distance of movement, and changing the entire hitting space.
what to do?
While running wildly, Gawain had already completed his judgment—
Even if the footsteps arrive, there is not much space left for swinging and hitting the ball; moreover, Djokovic's footsteps are returning to their place, re-finding the defensive center of gravity and footstep rhythm.
This also means that his own return needs to further contain Djokovic.
Head, running at high speed.
kick.
The whole person took a step forward.
Step on again.
Press the emergency brake with your right leg.
After rushing and stopping, the ground reaction force rushed towards his face like a roaring tsunami, and the tense muscles spread all the way from the calf, and the whole body became a full bow and arrow in a blink of an eye.
work hard?
Could it be that Gao Wen is ready to exert his strength in such a passive situation?
but see-
Gao Wen also turned his back to the court sideways, and also used a one-handed backhand.
Block everything.
If there is no room to swing the racket, Gao Wen will give up swinging the racket, and just use a small cut to retreat.
If there is no time to hit the ball, Gao Wen will compress the hitting action and create spin through the friction between the racket string and the tennis ball.
In the way of others, give back to others.
One touch~www.mtlnovel.com~ It was a very, very brief touch, but the wrist was soft and delicately wrapped around the tennis ball, and immediately after, you could see the tennis ball had already flown out.
This parabola...?
Because Gao Wen's processing was very sudden, short and secretive, so that the parabola was a bit blurred, and it would be difficult to judge accurately for a while.

slash, then what?
Long term or short term? Deep zone or small ball?
Even Djokovic paused for a while, staring at the tennis ball tightly, trying to make a judgment, half a beat slower, and then started the second time.
small ball!
incredible!
Gao Wen turned his back to the field and cut a small ball with one hand!
When Djokovic reacted, his body immediately leaned forward and sprinted at full speed, but he realized after just three steps:
Too late.
Gao Wen's small ball is amazing, it will cross the net, almost sticking to the net, straight up and down.
line, perfect.
Unloading, perfect.
On point, perfect.
It's a perfect little ball.
Even if Djokovic tried his best to sprint, it was still too late.
With his eyes wide open, Djokovic watched the tennis ball hit the ground, and then made two jumps, unable to recover, his shoulders drooped involuntarily.
Forty beats!
After a full forty shots of hitting the ball, it ended with Gao Wen's victory and announced the end of the game—
Victory belongs to Gao Wen!
