tread!
Tread!
Stomp, stop, start, sprint.
On the red soil, the control of the footsteps is obviously different, and you can feel it from the sound; the sweat flying in the air is also different, as if you can deeply feel the dusty dryness, and the hot water drops on the red soil Blooming a flower petal.
The sky is cloudy.
Looking up, the sun is neither hot nor strong. Compared with New York in August and Melbourne in January, Paris in May can even be said to be cooler.
Here, for the time being, I can’t feel the heat of midsummer, and even have a little bit of leisure and comfort in early summer. There is no severe sun beating, no chest tightness and dehydration caused by excess humidity. From all aspects, Paris seems to have the most satisfying four Grand Slams. comfortable playing environment.
However, this is not the case.
Although the weather changes in Paris are not as fierce and intense as in London, and you can feel the four seasons in just one day, Paris is still changeable.
Sometimes it is cloudy and sometimes light rain; the sun is still hot in the afternoon, and you need to put on a coat in the evening; the day before is late autumn, and the day after is midsummer.
I heard from other players that the weather in Paris is really special, even more special than London. Almost every year the weather and environment of the game is slightly different, so that every year when you come to the game, you need to re-adapt and check the weather forecast every day. Make adjustments accordingly.
The influence of wind direction and humidity is further amplified by the red soil.
It is precisely because of this that Roland Garros has always been considered the most difficult, varied and difficult venue among the four Grand Slams.
This year, Gao Wen is experiencing the unique experience of Paris.
After Gao Hongli and Jiang Yanyun arrived in Paris, they thought the weather here was a bit dry. After all, they had been living in the coastal area.
Personally speaking, Gao Wen felt fine, mainly because his middle school and university were in California, where the climate surrounded by deserts was much drier than that of Paris; however, Gao Wen could also understand that it was drier than Rome, Wetter than Madrid, the overall environment is indeed the most similar to Monte Carlo.
Moreover, the feelings are slightly different every day. Yesterday was a little dry, but today is cloudy, and the sweating rate has increased significantly.
Perhaps, for ordinary residents living in Paris, the difference is not so obvious; but for professional athletes, who need to go all out in sports every day, these feelings are obvious, even the adjustment of breathing The frequencies are slightly different.
No wonder everyone says that the net is the ultimate challenge of the four Grand Slams—
In other competitions, it may be to arrive in the city in advance to adapt to the weather and environment, and then devote yourself to the competition, but in Paris, it needs to make small adjustments every day. The more the top players are dueling, the more important the role of details is. This is definitely not an easy task.
Look, 30 minutes ago, Gao Wen had just changed into a jersey, and now he was completely soaked, and the sweat was pouring into a small river.
However, Gao Hongli, who was standing on the sidelines watching the training, was refreshed all over.
Of course, if one is exercising and the other is not exercising, the latter will definitely not sweat, but even without sweating, such a dry appearance is still in stark contrast. At this time, it can be seen that today's weather is a little bit cooler, and you can't feel it. Along with the heat, the humidity is higher than usual.
Such a situation reminded Gao Hongli of Melbourne.
At this time, Agassi, as the head coach, was standing in the court, not far behind Gawain, guiding the training; on the opposite side of the court were two players, one on the left and one on the right, and Gawain fought back with one against two. The ball, the whole training intensity has reached a new level, so it is natural to sweat profusely.
Sampras stood in the stands of the stadium. Throughout the clay court season this year, he was responsible for collecting and analyzing data and serving as an auxiliary coach.
After watching for a while, Sampras quickly looked down at the notebook
Some key words were recorded on the phone, he raised his head, glanced at Gao Hongli out of the corner of his eye, seemed to be able to sense Gao Hongli's confusion, and there was a little worry between his brows, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
Gao Hongli is not a professional, and he does not intend to interfere with the work of the coaching team, but he is very willing to humbly ask for advice and learn some knowledge.
"...Just a few **** ago, Gao Wen's backhand hits were all off the net. Is he adjusting the arc of the ball?"
The point is, Gao Wen hit the net continuously, but Agassi did not adjust, but quietly observed Gao Wen's swing, as if he was encouraging Gao Wen to continue.
This is the part that Gao Hongli is confused about.
Sampras smiled.
"Today, the overall humidity is slightly higher. In this case, the bounce of the tennis ball tends to be lower, and the ball trajectory needs to be adjusted."
"At the beginning of the clay court season, we all encouraged Gao Wen to increase some topspin, especially the forehand; but in today's weather, we need to change some strategies. Considering that the bounce of tennis **** is not so high, he should be in the proportion of hitting the ball. When the time comes, add some aggression and lower the arc."
"If it's a hard court, these changes in hitting style can often be completed with just a little adjustment, and Gao Wen's conversion is also very comfortable."
"But on clay, because the spin of the ball itself is different, more adjustments are required when changing the hitting technique, and Gao Wen is not used to it yet.".br>
In fact, this is also a training that runs through the entire clay court season: how to change the way you hit the ball according to changes in the situation?
On hard courts, these changes are inherently less demanding and simpler; but on clay, not only are there more changes, but the technique is more difficult.
Even, during the same game, the weather and conditions will have some subtle changes, so the tactics need to be adjusted at all times.
From tactical layout to technical execution, and from technical changes to inversely affecting tactical choices, it can be seen that the complexity of the entire tactical system has risen to a higher level, so many hard-court masters are dissatisfied when they come to clay courts—
Not only the court ~www.mtlnovel.com~ the whole way of playing is different.
It is precisely because of this that among the new generation of players, the simpler and more straightforward their playing tactics, the less comfortable they are and the less they like clay.
Bublik and Kyrgios have stated more than once that they hate clay. However, they are completely unaware of the root cause behind it.
From Sampras' point of view, Gao Wen has made rapid progress. Compared with a month ago, he has undergone a complete change, but he is not yet a clay court master.
"When I was still in active duty, I was unable to complete this adjustment. Gawain's progress in a short period of time has been very good. Just give him a little more time. He is on the right track."
"You should know it took a lot of courage to follow Gawain back to the city that broke my heart and reminded me of what a stupid, clumsy player I was."
Sampras laughed at himself, and the atmosphere immediately relaxed, which made Gao Hongli chuckle.
