The air is burning, like the eve of doomsday.
Second District.
One shot, actually entered.
In this round, Gao Wen was limited by his physical strength, and there was an obvious problem with the first serve, and the force of kicking the ground could not be effectively converted. This was Gao Wen's third serve in the zone.
Of course, Gao Wen also consciously made adjustments. The speed of the serve is not fast, which is only 180 kilometers, so as to ensure that the first serve into the zone can bring pressure.
At this moment, it can be seen from Tsonga's reaction to returning the ball that Gao Wen's strategy has worked—
Close body pressure backhand.
Tsonga tried to attack, but his tactical intentions were not strong enough. After realizing that once the serve entered the zone, the reaction of the two-handed backhand shot was a little slow, so that the speed of the head was not fast enough, and the swing space was encountered to a certain extent. The upper body was not able to get out of the way completely, and the rush attack did not grab it.
Return the ball with a high arc.
The slanted line returned to Gao Wen's backhand position again.
Here, Gao Wen immediately seized the opportunity, one step up, and the backhand with both hands was already set up, ready to sweep and attack, but he suddenly attacked!
tennis-
Land, bounce, fly.
This is a normal trajectory. However, judging from the spin, speed and power of the ball, the rebound height should be at the waist and abdomen, slightly lower than the best position for attacking the baseline but still within a reasonable and comfortable hitting height range; but I did not expect , the upward curve of tennis seems to be blocked.
Bounce height, lower than expected.
mines.
Gao Wen realized the unexpected situation immediately.
Tsonga encountered a landmine before, and now it's Gawain's turn, but on clay courts, this is really normal:
Along with the movement, stepping, kicking and other actions of the players in the game, the density of the soil is constantly changing. Some mines may disintegrate, but at the same time, some mines are born. During the game, the mines have been "born" And "death" is indeed inevitable.
It is even possible that the landmine encountered at this time was "made" by Gao Wen himself.
Landmines have changed the force law of tennis balls, and the rebound trajectory has also changed accordingly.
Everything, all happened between lightning and flint.
At this time, the brain has no time to layout and react, relying entirely on instinct—
The two-handed backhand that was ready to attack, paused for a while, and then, the knees were bent, the center of gravity sank, and then the second swing was made, but there was no room for leading the racket, so he could only swing in a small range, relying on the strength of the forearm and wrist Complete a belt-and-roll pull and hit back.
The only good thing about the accident is that after encountering a landmine, the flight trajectory of the tennis ball did not change completely, it just couldn't bounce.
In other words, the height of the rebound flight should have reached the waist and abdomen, but now there is no propulsion at the knees and thighs, and it stops.
In a split second, Gao Wen's second reaction was very quick, he stopped and paused in the swing, and immediately adjusted his body center of gravity and swing.
swing, hit the ball—
The ball was returned successfully.
pity! The charged attack has evolved into a transition shot. Gao Wen, who originally had the advantage of serving, managed to find a first serve, but now he lost his advantage and even faintly fell into a passive situation. ....
The scene is somewhat familiar.
In the last serve of Tsonga, a mine ball caused Tsonga to fall into a passive situation of "0:30".
So, what about this time?
Moreover, the score at this time is even more stalemate and tense, and any accident may break the balance. It seems that the Philippe Chatier Stadium is also aware of it:
Even if it is not going to give preferential treatment to the host players, at least it should be fair, one person has a mine ball, and sit in a row to eat fruit.
Snapped.
A turning point has appeared, but the point is, can Tsonga make it happen?
Across the net.
Tsonga is also adjusting his pace, because the close serve
Squeezed to the body, in order to deal with the next shot, the footsteps must be the first to complete the adjustment.
Then-
Tsonga noticed the landmine immediately. He was moving towards the forehand to make up defense, but after a pause, he moved towards the backhand again.
step.
two steps.
In place, but still did not stop.
three steps.
From the forehand to the backhand and then to the sideways forehand, Tsonga noticed that Gao Wen's offense had evolved into a transitional ball, and seized the opportunity decisively.
The attack in the bones/can burst out powerful energy, forcibly sideways forehand, accompanied by the movement of footsteps and swinging rackets, the body directly rises into the air, the clothes flutter, and the forehand is like a fully drawn bow and arrow, the arm is high Raise it high, outline a full moon, and then attack in an all-round way.
boom!
Although Tsonga's footsteps were still not fast enough, and his sideways did not completely get out of the way, he relied on his physical talent to forcefully complete the sideways—
Thor, hammer.
boom!
The tennis ball straddled the court, hitting Gao Wen's position like a missile.
Gao Wen's footsteps were still near the bottom line of his backhand position, and he could clearly feel the vast momentum coming towards his face. The billowing air waves smashed down like a hurricane, swallowing himself in the blink of an eye, every pore was tensed up, clearly Feel the surging power.
Kick off.
kneel.
stand firm.
build walls.
Gao Wen had no time to retreat and was not ready to retreat, so he just stood there, lowered his center of gravity for the second time in a row, and used his body to create the effect of hitting the wall.
The backhand with both hands has already hit it head-on—
In fact, this is a classic fast and hard court return tactic, which Gao Wen used many times in the US Open.
Because the rounds on fast and hard courts are very fast, the reaction time is often compressed to the extreme. Once the footsteps are retreated, the confrontation advantage will be lost bit by bit; therefore, in order to avoid falling into the passive state of defense, the players choose to squat down and hit the wall to fight back. way, fight for the rhythm for yourself.
This kind of hitting requires very high requirements for techniques such as leverage, wrapping, control, etc. It is not as easy as it seems. More often, it is often to complete the action of hitting the ball against the wall, but the angle of the racket is wrong and the arc of the return ball is not correct. Unable to control it, it flew directly out of the bottom line, which was extremely difficult.
It is precisely because of this that it is rarely used on clay, because the ball is not fast, it is better to complete the return by adjusting the footsteps.
Gao Wen was no exception.
But, this time the situation is a little special.
A landmine disrupted the layout, so that Gao Wen fell into a passive position. Tsonga launched a strong attack without hesitation, and Gao Wen's adjustment was a little slower. Choosing this way of hitting the ball is actually through compression. The way Tsonga reacts to time buys himself time to adjust.
backhand.
hit.
Tape.
In the blink of an eye, the tennis ball has already passed Gao Wen's racket quickly, just like a skateboard entering a "U"-shaped pool, rolling around and then launching out. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
Whoosh!
The parabola rose again.
Gao Wen immediately realized that his angle control was a little bit lacking, and he was unable to suppress the parabola. The next shot should still be Tsonga's attacking opportunity.
The point is, a straight line? Or a slash?
OK.
cross step.
After hitting the ball, Gao Wen's footsteps immediately moved quickly, adjusted his center of gravity, adjusted his position, and immediately moved to his right side, backed up to defend, and kept his center of gravity light all the time; The alarm bells have already sounded—
Tsonga, no mercy.
Sideways forehand, sideways again. .
