One is the details, the other is the key.
From these two points, it can be seen that among the four players in today's doubles final, Pospihir is indeed the weakest link.
Whether it is talent or strength, no matter what the root cause is, the lack shown by Pospisil has indeed become a turning point that breaks the balance.
In the middle of the second set, Gao Wen's shot processing added more spin changes. At this time, Pospisil, who was eager to reverse the situation, seemed eager for success. From observation to judgment, from shot to control, the entire shot response The roughness and simplicity of life slowly surfaced, and there was nowhere to hide.
Generally speaking, players from the North American hard-court training system tend to have rough basic skills-relatively, but Pospisil is particularly obvious.
Four times before and after, Pospihir suffered the loss of Gao Wen's spin shot:
Three forehands and one backhand.
Either out of bounds or off the net. Fundamentally speaking, his observation and judgment of rotation were wrong, and even his shots were not accurate.
Pospithil, defeated by himself.
In this way, Gao Wen completely smoothed out the last bit of fighting spirit left by Pospithil, and then there was no more suspense in the game.
The last point of the game is also the first match point, quite dramatic—
Gao Wen served and Sock received the serve.
Sock saw that the general situation was over, so he chose to receive the serve and fight, forced a sideways forehand attack, rushed to attack, and unexpectedly created an opportunity inconceivably.
Fighting with one shot, successfully pressing above the bottom line.
Gao Wen was caught off guard.
A second ago, the serve had just ended, and the action hadn't had time to resume its stance.
In the next second, Sock's return serve hit his face like a missile, hitting his feet directly—
Moreover, because the sideline material of the clay court is different, the line-pressing ball further leads to irregular bounce, and the upward curve of the rebound is easy to change.
Gao Wen was in a panic.
In a hurry, Gao Wen didn't have time to adjust his footsteps. He relied on his upper body for support, swung his racket with his forehand in a small range, and completed a bouncing ball in the narrow space beside him. The friction time is fast, and the spin is attached to complete the ultimate shot.
After hitting the ball, Gao Wen's whole body seemed to be overturned by the air wave, and he barely controlled his center of gravity by jumping backwards.
Tennis, draw a thrilling trajectory across the court.
However-
Although Gawain tried his best to friction, the space and time were still too tight, and the friction was not enough, so the parabola could not be fully pulled up.
Pospihir's chance.
To put it simply, Gawain's return failed to pull up the parabola, which also gave Pospisil a chance to make a high-pressure volley in front of the net.
The 193cm Pospisil stood in front of the net like a giant, and with a small sideways adjustment, he had already arrived at his position smoothly.
Here, he can smash with high pressure or volley sideways, and he can hit the ball smoothly with different methods without much difficulty.
However, Bospisil glanced at Gawain's hitting arc, made a judgment, and then let it go sideways:
Actually! that's all! let go!
Just before the shot was taken, Bospisil completed his judgment and closed the shot again. After a short step, the tennis ball flew out.
Obviously, from Pospihir's point of view, Gao Wen's return shot should go out of bounds directly, so there is no need for him to take any risks.
Judging from the parabola, it seems that this is indeed the case.
The tennis ball is indeed flying towards the deep area of the bottom line, and the parabola shows no sign of falling at all, so it is very likely to fly straight out.
At this time, Sock, who had finished receiving and fighting the serve, was on the net, and was still preparing to charge forward, and then he saw the tennis ball flying towards him like a feathered arrow.
what happened?
Sock was not on the trajectory of the tennis ball. He moved his body forward and his head back, turning his head along with the tennis ball, and jumped up high involuntarily—
It's as if he can possess a tennis ball, as long as he jumps up, the flight arc of the tennis ball can continue to soar.
In an instant, time and space froze.
Sock flew up, and Bospisil also flew up, and both of them were in the air.
Four people, four pairs of eyes, and all the eyes of the audience, all focused on the tennis ball.
at this time-
The tennis ball had already flown near the bottom line, but saw a rapid fall, turning an arc that fell straight down a cliff, like the barb of Captain Blackbeard.
fall.
smash down.
The tennis ball hit the bottom line accurately, splashing a cloud of dust.
The rotating charm of the clay court is vividly displayed. It is obviously impossible, but it seems to break the laws of physics and write an incredible trajectory.
boom!
The audience was shocked.
In an instant, two or three figures stood up with their arms raised high, raising their arms and shouting.
However, there was no sound at all, just wide-eyed eyes, staring at the court in disbelief, shock and astonishment continued to surge deep in the depths of the eyes.
Match point, cash out.
"7:5", "6:0".
The game is over.
2015 Monte Carlo Masters doubles champion, Gawain/Dimitrov combination.
Incredible!
All of this is really incredible!
Although Gao Wen lost to Ferrer in the singles field and stopped in the quarter-finals, ending his 18-game winning streak in the Masters, he failed to continue to write history.
However, Gao Wen continued his top performance on the stage of the Masters in the doubles arena. His partner Dimitrov went out and defeated the No. 1 seed, No. 5 seed, No. 4 seed and No. 2 seed in succession, reaching the championship with unparalleled performance. Complete a gorgeous turn from hard court to clay court.
Applause, thunder.
Not to mention the audience, even Gao Wen himself couldn't believe it—
He had to admit that this point was more or less luck, because everything was an instinctive reaction, and he himself could not determine the effect of the shot.
In the end, when the tennis ball created a falling arc comparable to a banana ball and entered the bounds, Gao Wen was as shocked and surprised as anyone else.
Dimitrov's eyes widened, he turned around, raised his arms, let go of his right hand, dropped the racket, and looked at Gawain with joy.
Gao Wen's first reaction was to look at his partner and ask with his eyes, "Inside?"
Dimitrov nodded vigorously in the affirmative.
ha!
Laughter surged in his chest.
Hahaha.
So, champion?
Dimitrov clenched his fists and cheered: Yes, champion!
Gao Wen himself still couldn't believe it~www.mtlnovel.com~ followed by throwing away the racket, trotting all the way towards his partner, and the two jumped up tacitly:
Take off, crash.
The two also celebrated with the Bryan brothers' iconic chest bump, and then a smile broke out at the corner of their mouths.
Dimitrov looked at Gawain again and repeated, "Champion?"
Gawain immediately burst out laughing—
Obviously Dimitrov confirmed to Gawain just now, but when he turned around, it was Gawain's turn to confirm to Dimitrov.
It can be seen that this doubles championship is a pleasant surprise for both players.
Who would have thought that this year's first clay-court masters would end in such a way?
