"30:40", match point.
In the audience, the heat wave was rolling, and even if no one spoke, they could still feel the surge of joy and tension, and the sound of the heart hitting the chest stirred in the air.
Then, Gawain served the ball.
District 2, outer corner.
It is still a classic tactical combination. Although today in the outer corner of the second zone, Wawrinka's one-handed backhand has directly formed an ACE return twice, showing his confidence and touch; but at the critical moment, Gao Wen is still skilled. He was bold, followed the classic routine again, and challenged Wawrinka's backhand position.
The tennis ball is spinning and flying.
Wawrinka, move.
With one step and one thrust, the whole body is thrown out according to the inertia, using the weight of centrifugal force, through the emergency braking of the left leg and the movement of the body to complete the twisting and transmission of power, and the one-handed backhand is firm and strong. Without hesitation, he launched a point-grabbing attack.
But-
Oops!
From serving to receiving, everything happens within a few millimeters, and it all depends on instant reflexes. Sometimes, the reaction speed is too fast, and you may miss the details.
It's like an exam. When you browse the questions at a glance, you may read the questions incorrectly, so that the direction of the answer will also be biased.
Obviously, Gawain had anticipated that Wawrinka was going to give it a go—
Anyway, this is the break point in Gao Wen's serve, and there is not much loss if you miss it, but once the attack is won, the match point will be cashed directly; coupled with Wawrinka's explosive confidence and fiery touch, he is not conservative. reason.
Therefore, Gao Wen grasped this mentality and deliberately chose the outer corner to serve, but the placement was very particular, and the angle was not completely torn apart, but pulled back a little, in the vague and awkward area between the close body and the outer corner, Then catch Wawrinka's lack of delicate footstep adjustment, destroy Wawrinka's judgment of swing space and swing distance, and disrupt the hitting point.
Details, everything is in the details.
Wawrinka had already taken the shot, but when the turn was halfway through, he realized that the distance between himself and the tennis ball was too close. If he followed the original swing trajectory, he might hit the tennis ball directly into the stands. Hitting the ball too early and swinging the racket too much.
shock!
At the critical moment, relying entirely on instinctive conditioned reflexes, Wawrinka slightly adjusted his posture, curled up his shoulders and body, and made room for a little space to complete his swing. He also slightly retracted his backhand, which was about to exert all his strength, to avoid directly hitting the return serve. Fly, but the control is still lacking a little.
The tennis ball flew back and did not go out of bounds, but the landing point was obviously not enough—
The middle area is a little bit to the left of Gaowen, not deep enough and not biased enough.
The only good thing is that it is relatively in the middle, so it is not easy for Gao Wen to tear the angle. Maybe Wawrinka still has a chance.
Wawrinka immediately adjusted his steps and prepared to defend.
But this time, Gao Wen has completed the layout from the start of the serve, and the follow-up adjustments are very clear and timely.
One step up, one sideways, transfer from the backhand position to the sideways forehand, and come to the bottom line, relying on the inertia of the forward step to complete the downward pressure.
Push the ground, turn sideways, and exert force.
"ah!"
-straight line.
— dead ends.
hands up! Knife down!
Sudden enough, violent enough, and precise enough, with Gao Wen's angry roar, the tennis ball got into the dead corner of Wawrinka's forehand.
Wawrinka, no chance.
boom!
In the audience, the volcano erupted, and the Philippe-Chatier stadium was completely crazy. One or two frantically jumped and roared, joining the carnival.
"40:40".
Gao Wen once again showed his incomparable big heart, calmly and swiftly saved the match point, and did not give Wawrinka a chance to attack at all.
"The best defense is an offense."
This sentence, in competitive sports, may not be 100% correct, and it still needs to be analyzed in specific situations, but at this moment, it is a wise saying.
Wawrinka, who is in a super-god state, has indeed gone crazy. The whole offense dares to fight hard. It is not only violent, but also precise. The shots aimed at the corners can always enter the bounds, making full use of the space on the court. Extreme, if you only rely on defense, it is really difficult to form a counterweight.
Facing Wawrinka like this, the best way to deal with it is to replace defense with offense, forcing Wawrinka into a passive position and not giving him an opportunity to attack.
Of course, this tactic also needs to be careful. In the last game, Federer and Wawrinka started a confrontation. Wawrinka defeated Federer in straight sets with his unparalleled offensive touch. It can be seen from the side that Wawrinka Not afraid to fight each other.
Layout, control, timing, tactics, are still the key—
No one should forget that in the first half of this year, Gao Wen killed Djokovic three times by virtue of his decisive and sharp attack at the critical moment.
Just now, Gao Wen once again demonstrated his talent and ability on the offensive end. Maybe he is not as good as Wawrinka in terms of pure speed and strength, but the offense in tennis is not just three tricks.
Stade Philippe Chartier, crazy.
The same goes for the players' lounge.
"Ho Ho Ho! Go, Gao Wen, go!"
"Wow, Gao Wen, like it, a hundred likes."
"Amazing! I have to obey!"
Murray raised his head and looked at the TV screen in the players' lounge. The staff coming and going, other doubles players, young players, and members of the coaching team all paused their busy steps and looked at him involuntarily. TV screens ~www.mtlnovel.com~ are drawn to the game.
Because the match point appears, it means that the game may end at any time, and the players in the next game also need to come to the entrance of the stadium to make final preparations.
Murray didn't hold back either, and gave Gao Wen applause. Just now, Gao Wen's performance was perfect and impeccable.
"…how do you feel?"
A greeting came from behind, Murray turned his head, and then saw Djokovic's face, he was also putting his equipment bag aside, and stopped in front of the TV screen.
Although Djokovic currently has a seven-game winning streak against Murray and is about to start a life-and-death battle at Roland Garros, the two have grown up together since they were teenagers, and their friendship over the years has been very solid. , the friendship between Federer and Nadal, Djokovic and Murray will be more special.
Murray and Djokovic shook hands and hugged each other, "I don't think it's hard to say now, Gao Wen's handling is very smart."
With his hands on his hips, Djokovic stared at the calm Gao Wen on the screen. After saving the match point, he was ready to continue serving. "I think I can see the shadow of Rafa in Gao Wen."
A simple sentence, but it contains too much deep meaning, the corner of Murray's mouth slightly raised, "I think the ball just now has a taste of Roger."
After the voice fell, neither of them continued to speak, but continued to stare at the screen. Even they couldn't help but immerse themselves in the game. It was precisely because they were top players that they understood the feeling at this moment and were nervous. Excited and full of adrenaline.
The eyes of the whole world are gathered towards Philippe Chattier.
Then Gawain served—
Kick off, swing... outside corner!
