Sideways forehand.
Djokovic, sideways.
It can be judged from this action that Djokovic is determined to win and aggressive.
For one thing, Djokovic has a balanced forehand and backhand. He doesn't need to rely too much on his side, and he can hit the ball with both left and right bows.
Secondly, Djokovic's forehand is not explosive enough, and there is indeed a difference in the quality and tail strength of the sideways forehand, but the difference is not that big.
Therefore, Djokovic rarely makes sideways forehands, which is in stark contrast to Nadal, but rarely does not mean no.
Once Djokovic chooses a sideways forehand, it means that he gives up the strategy of defensive counterattack and starts to take the initiative to attack. Without absolute certainty, he will not turn sideways easily; because everyone knows that once he turns sideways, The gap in the forehand field will be completely wide open.
From the outside corner serve to the sideways forehand, everything was a plan; and, everything went according to plan.
Facing the match point, Djokovic was very bold and decisive, and adopted a completely different tactical combination, which was different from all tactics in today's game.
He changed his inherent tactical style, took the initiative to attack, and firmly grasped the initiative, because Djokovic knew that he had to keep his two serve points:
There is no way out.
At this time, you can see the demeanor of the giants. Even in the face of match point, they dare to make attempts, make changes, take risks, and break the balance on the field.
Gao Wen is very embarrassed.
He was extremely passive from the first shot of receiving the serve, did not choose expectations, and the effect and quality of returning the ball were lackluster.
The return ball that flew to Djokovic's court was a half-court ball with a little topspin, but the topspin was not strong enough. Instead, it gave Djokovic an easy shot height, plus The control of the landing point and the line is not as expected, and it deviates slightly from the axis of the middle area.
Therefore, Djokovic's offense is very easy, almost equivalent to the level of sending it to the door, just like a practice game, making a return.
If it is normal, Djokovic may still be a little more conservative, continue to roll and roll, anyway, he will always be able to firmly gain the upper hand.
But facing the match point, Gao Wen clearly knew that Djokovic would definitely attack and further break the balance of offense and defense. This is beyond doubt; the only thing that needs to be discussed is,
what line?
straight line? slash? Middle?
Because Gao Wen fell into absolute passivity, the entire field was basically a sieve, and Djokovic could take whatever he wanted and hit wherever he wanted.
The point is, Djokovic chose to sideways forehand, so the backslash should be a high probability event...?
There is no time to hesitate, everything happens between lightning and flint.
then-
Small small steps, continuous small steps, Gao Wen maintained his defensive posture, and moved two steps slightly towards his forehand position, but did not leave. The first time he saw Djokovic hitting the ball, he kicked his right leg, and his body Already moving towards the left according to inertia.
A big step!
One step is enough, the body has been in place smoothly, and the backhand with both hands is used to lead the racket early, so as to save one's swing time through such movements.
Tennis, here we come!
backslash!
Sure enough, Djokovic chose a sideways forehand backslash!
The landing point will fall near the big triangle of the bottom line, but it does not pursue the ultimate angle; at the same time, it is accurately pressed on the bottom line to further compress the swing space.
It seemed familiar, and the old trick was repeated, which was exactly the same as the serve for this point, which also meant that Gao Wen needed to face such an incoming ball for two consecutive shots.
The pressure is heavy.
However, this time Gao Wen was obviously more prepared than receiving the serve.
Steps, stand firmly, like a big tree in the sky, firmly rooted.
He backhanded and took the initiative to face forward. Facing Djokovic's sideways forehand attack, not only did he not back down, but he also resisted head-on.
"Power VS Power"!
Strictly speaking, Djokovic's forehand does lack a bit of explosive power, even if it is a sideways forehand, and superimposes inertia and body strength, but the quality of the ball returned has not been reborn, mainly based on speed, slightly lacking in strength Some-
But for Gao Wen, this kind of "relatively speaking" is enough, using a little time to move ahead and lead the shot in advance, with a flick of the wrist.
Speed up your head!
"ah!"
Gao Wen's two-handed backhand was squeezed, and Djokovic's backhand was indeed deep enough. At the same time, Gao Wen's footsteps refused to retreat, so he was naturally squeezed.
The power deep in the dantian burst out!
Forceful swing, head-on impact, head speed up, clever line change, and—
The tennis ball flew back, changing from a slash to a straight line.
What's more, Gao Wen didn't pursue the ultimate point of landing. He returned the ball in a straight line to continue the style of the second set, and consciously controlled the return line in the middle area.
However, this time the controls are a little lacking.
The most important thing is that the body is squeezed, so that the final closing action is not so timely, and the return line and flight arc are slightly affected.
Djokovic moves quickly, with full concentration and concentration.
In the inventory of the second set, Djokovic was faced with such a return ball, and the forehand slashed directly out of bounds, and gave up the victory.
This time, it was almost the same route and the same landing point, and even the situation was similar.
However, the same mistake, Djokovic will not make a second time.
Soaring into the air, Dapeng spread his wings, facing Gao Wen's topspin ball, Djokovic sprinted and jumped, grabbed a hitting point, and smashed diagonally from top to bottom.
Forehand slash!
The long sword is out of its sheath!
"ah!"
The roar deep in Djokovic's dantian also erupted, burning all the energy in his body.
pity…
The power is still a little bit lacking.
Originally, strength was not Djokovic's strong point; at the same time, he had just gone through a 44-beat round, and his breathing had not been fully adjusted. If he kept running at a constant speed, this would be no problem, but if he changed or increased his speed, The aftereffects were immediately apparent.
Djokovic tried to use all his strength to penetrate Gawain's baseline defense with a forehand slash, however, the strength and speed were far from what was expected.
With Gao Wen's footsteps, stepping on Lingbo microsteps and sprinting horizontally, he was already waiting in place in a blink of an eye, calm and unhurried.
Forehand, set up early, waited for the incoming ball in the big triangle area of the bottom line on the right, and even had enough time to complete control, the disadvantage has been wiped out.
Although Gao Wen may not have the advantage, the two sides have come back to the same starting line.
So, is Gao Wen going to attack with a forehand?
not at all.
With the forehand, hit lightly with one shot, without rushing to exert force, but superimposing topspin calmly, pulling out a strong topspin, aiming at the bottom line to hit.
As for the route ~www.mtlnovel.com~ is still a straight line, point to point straight line, the landing point is chosen in the central area on Djokovic’s side, continuing the strategy of the second set.
chance? Or a trap?
At this point, Djokovic had no choice. He continued to move his feet and set up a backhand with both hands, forcibly attacking at the high point of his shoulders.
Slash!
work hard!
cross!
For the third consecutive shot, Djokovic launched an aggressive attack. He could detect Gao Wen's intentions, but this time, he no longer followed the strategy of the second set—
If there is an opportunity to attack, if there is no opportunity, create an opportunity to attack, and firmly grasp the slightest opportunity to attack.
attack! attack! Still attack!
