There is a slight wavering and a slight crack in the mind, and the stability and concentration of the whole state will usher in a violent storm, and everything will be different.
In the first game, "40: AD".
At the break point, Bospihir and Sock finally regained their composure, relying on the serve to establish an advantage, and then established an advantage through Sock's grabbing the net.
Gao Wen's combination fell into a passive position, being firmly pressed to the bottom line and passively defended.
Bospisil seized the opportunity, quickly hit the net, hammered a forehand in a straight line and swept the attack, aiming at the dead corner of the bottom line of Gao Wen's backhand to launch a fierce attack. qδ
As a result, under extreme passiveness, Gao Wen relied on clay-court sliding to grab a half-beat opportunity, and forcibly broke a straight line with both hands to complete the save.
Straight up, straight back—
Pospisil was about to defend his backhand, but found that Gao Wen aimed at his forehand breakthrough, started the second time, stretched his body, intercepted a shot with his right hand, but completely lost his prediction on the strength and speed of Gao Wen's return. The line directly affects the touch and technique of hitting the ball.
The tennis ball flew straight away.
In the game, "0:1", the Gaowen team took the lead by breaking serve.
The second game, "40:15".
Although behind by a small point, on the opponent's first game point, Sock and Pospisil created opportunities to form a two-handed combo in front of the net.
On the opposite side, Gao Wen and Dimitrov were both standing in the midfield position. Their positions had been disrupted, and they lost their position in the impenetrable blockade in front of the opponent's net. Both of them stood near the center line, left and right. All sides are empty, and the defensive coverage has become a sieve, comparable to a colander.
In other words, Sock or Pospihir only needs to complete a basic shot and aim for the gap to score.
However.
Pospihir's two-handed backhand, aimed at the sideline, tried to find a place to press the line, and formed the winning point beautifully and smartly. The result:
Extreme joy begets sorrow.
Too eager and too complacent, but ignores the strong topspin of Gao Wen's return, the depression of the racket is slightly insufficient, and the hitting line deviates from expectations.
Out of bounds.
Moreover, it was not out of bounds by a little bit, but out of bounds very, very outrageously. The difference between the landing point of the tennis ball and the sideline was one hundred and eight thousand miles.
In the round, "0:2", the Gaowen combination expanded its lead.
Since the end of the first set, the Gaowen team has won four games in a row.
The balance was completely broken.
This is obviously not the doubles final that people expected.
In fact, objectively speaking, the combination of Sock and Pospihir is indeed in good condition, reaching the finals of the Masters for three consecutive rounds, and the competitive state is at a high point.
Even the clay court, to a large extent, is not suitable for the two players to play, weakening the combat effectiveness, but this week's competition, they broke into the final without losing a set, which is still very convincing, continuing their cooperation since the new season. Downstream upward momentum.
From all aspects, they are indeed one of the most outstanding doubles combinations in the last two seasons, with both singles strength and doubles tacit understanding.
Moreover, they are still young and their strength is on the rise. As their cooperation becomes more and more tacit, their dominance in the doubles field will continue to rise.
But that's what competitive sports is about—
The game of you coming and going, the collision of hand-to-hand combat, and the pull of you advancing and retreating, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind must overwhelm the east wind. The turning point of the game and the ups and downs of the state not only depend on oneself, but also on the opponent, and often happen in a short moment.
Before turning from a winning streak to a losing streak, sometimes you can see the clues, but not every time.
not to mention!
In addition to Bospi Hill, Sock is not an experienced Dinghaishenzhen, he is also young.
When the partner's status fluctuated and the situation took a turn for the worse, Sock was equally confused:
what happened?
Along with it, Sock's batting touch also fluctuated to a certain extent.
third inning.
Immediately afterwards, Gao Wen seized the opportunity of Sock's second serve and made a surprise attack. The fast and deep return serve directly landed in the deep area of the bottom line, forming pressure, which caused Sock's backhand bounce to save the ball but failed, and the tennis ball flew high. Qi Qi failed to cross the net and landed again on his side of the field.
"0:40".
The situation is really strange.
All of a sudden, it seems that everything is wrong, from the bottom line of the serve to the net, from the forehand to the backhand, everything is wrong.
You can vaguely smell the fear of a crash coming quietly.
but!
Sock and Pospisil have indeed been in good form in the past three months, not only in the number of wins, but also in the handling of key points.
An ACE from Sock and a net smash from Pospihir, they saved two break points very quickly.
"30:40".
The crisis was alarming, Pospihir regained his focus, and Sock also gained a firm foothold in the chaos and returned to winning mode.
The state seems to be back, especially the gesture of letting go, which makes all the distracting thoughts in my mind disappear.
crucial moment-
Gao Wen, stand up.
On the third break point.
Sock failed to establish a sufficient advantage by serving, and the two sides formed a round ball, and then formed a four-player hand-to-hand mode in front of the net.
Ping ping pong.
The back-and-forth shots were really dazzling, and then Gao Wen took the lead to make a change, and with a flip of the racket, he picked up the short ball in front of the net.
Over the top, bottom line.
This also forced Sock to rush back to the baseline quickly, with his back to the court, hit a return ball from Rhino Mochizuki on the shoulder, and pull the tennis back again.
Same thing, over the top, bottom line.
Sock's return of the ball had an astonishing effect, forcing Gao Wen to return to the baseline quickly, with his back to the court, and completed a shocking crotch shot.
Here we can see a difference in details. It is also a save near the baseline, and it is also an unconventional shot under extreme conditions, but Gao Wen's handling is more spiritual.
Unexplainable spirituality—
Gao Wen, unexpectedly chose a small diagonal line, successfully swayed past Pospihir who was standing in front of the net to volley, crossed his stance, and found a landing point outside the small triangle of his right forehand serving area .
This is a very awkward line.
If the angle is narrowed, Pospihir can directly step up and block; if the angle is widened, either he cannot pass the net or go out of bounds directly.
Everything must be just right, so that one can find a gap comparable to a thin line of sky and escape from the sky.
Gao Wen, in the panic, in the confusion of footsteps, and in the collision of bayonets, just found——
It can definitely be called ~www.mtlnovel.com~ a stroke of genius.
In this room, Bospisil was already guarding the front of the net tightly, staring at Gao Wen intently, adjusting small steps continuously, and getting ready to hit the ball.
The moment Gao Wen finished his hook shot, his body had already moved out, and he took a step horizontally towards his forehand, fully extending his upper body.
One pounce, one block.
Shoulders, arms, wrists, rackets, everything is fully stretched out, staring at the tennis ball.
A little further to the right.
A little further to the right.
again and again...
The body has been stretched to the extreme, but suddenly found that the arc drawn by the tennis ball is beyond the extreme of the racket, and it is out of reach.
Like a rainbow.
