The latest website: — Low bounce, fast speed, and less friction. The three elements collide together, and finally form the characteristics of grass, bringing a new tennis experience.
I have mentioned the serve and net players before, and Sampras is the pinnacle representative. They are completely born for the grass.
In fact, the principle is very simple. Make full use of the low bounce characteristics of the grass, look for opportunities to surf the Internet as soon as possible, and further compress the round rhythm.
Originally, the low bounce did not leave much time and space for the players to react. If the opponent goes online to press, on the one hand, it will be a physical squeeze, and on the other hand, it will increase the rhythm level. The back and forth rhythm will become more and more intense. The faster, the balance will be completely broken in the end, and the winner will be decided.
Of course, that's not all—
The direct effect of low bounce is still the hitting point.
For baseline players, footwork and center of gravity will play a big role.
First, the foot movement had to be lighter and more detailed.
The low bounce is part of the reason, and the other part is the lack of grip on the grass, so that it is easy to lose the center of gravity and cause slippage when taking a long stride.
People always think that clay is slippery, but this is a misconception. Thanks to the strong friction, clay can grip the ground. Grass is not the case. There is almost no grip space between the sole and the ground, and the friction is very limited. , I fell on my back if I didn't pay attention a little bit.
Therefore, the moving habits on clay must be completely changed on grass.
Second, center of gravity.
The principle is very simple, because the angle of refraction is low, the hitting point is often below the waist, and the player must lower the center of gravity to find the best hitting position.
Moreover, the connection of the overall rhythm is very important, and a slight disconnection may give the opponent a chance to attack and completely break the rhythm balance.
For various reasons, offensive players and cannon-type players can often create good results on grass.
Isner, Raonic, Ivanisevic, etc. all have their own shining moments on the grass. Dimitrov, Kyrgios, Aliasim, etc. are young players who are good at attacking. They are often the first to usher in a breakthrough at Wimbledon, and the two legends Sampras and Federer wrote brilliantly at Wimbledon.
At this point, some people may ask:
What about Djokovic? He is neither a cannonball nor an offensive master. However, as of 2022, Djokovic has won seven championship trophies at Wimbledon, second only to Federer's eight, ranking second in history.
And what about Murray? His style of play is basically the same as that of Djokovic, but in 2012 and 2016, Murray also completed the feat of reaching the summit twice. This is also the best grand slam performance of his career. In addition to the advantages, there must be other positive factors. .
First, offensive players, cannon players can really gain an advantage on the grass and play well—
The German player Saine-Lisiki known as the "Grass Elf" is the best proof. Her biggest highlight in the vertical and horizontal tennis world is the "French Open Champion Killer". Maybe she does not perform well at other times of the tour every year. But as long as it enters the grass season, it can shine.
With a strong serve comparable to the Williams sisters and a unique forehand, Liskey has indeed written a series of miracles in Wimbledon:
In 2011, he defeated Li Na, who had reached the top of the French Open for the first time in her career, in the second round.
In 2012, she defeated Sharapova in the fourth round who completed the career Grand Slam at Roland Garros last month.
In these four years, the only ones who have escaped the curse are the 2010 French Open champion Italian veteran Francesca Schiavone (Frananha-Sosur), the 2012 Wimbledon runner-up A-Radwanska, etc. The players advanced to the finals strongly.
However, in the final, Liski was trapped by his own nervousness, his hands and feet were shaking, and he even broke down and cried at one point, unable to show his strength at all.
In the end, he was swept and defeated by the French player Bartoli, achieving the only Grand Slam glory in the latter's career.
Second, Djokovic and Murray are special cases, and they are also a manifestation of a trend in modern tennis.
Thanks to the advancement of modern technology such as rackets, ball strings, sneakers, etc., the power conversion rate and speed conversion rate of players have been raised to a new level, just like shark skin swimsuits, which also makes players play differently on different venues. The styles are gradually converging, and relying on the same tactics and types can also stand out.
Of course, the premise is that one's own ability has reached a certain height.
This is the case with Djokovic and Murray. Their abilities have reached absolute heights. Even if they are not offensive players, they can still penetrate the grass.
Therefore, the same is true for Gao Wen.
Although he has never played clay or grass, he can still be competitive after special training and a little change according to his own understanding.
What's more, Gawain has a special weapon—
Sampras.
There is no need to hire a coach specifically for grass courts. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Gao Wen's coaching team has one of the best grass court players in the world, and even one of them is no problem, just like Nadal on clay courts. Sampras's understanding of grass has also reached a whole new level.
After leaving Paris, Gao Wen and his party arrived in the small English town of Eastbourne, where they prepared for the battle on the grass in this sunny and beautiful town.
Slightly different from the clay court, from the very beginning, Sampras returned to the most basic and primitive tennis techniques to start training—
hit the ball.
Forehand hit, backhand hit.
Then-
Forehand hit, backhand hit.
That's all, nothing new, nothing tricky, simple and boring, boring enough to make you drowsy, just keep repeating.
If someone saw Gao Wen training at this time, it would be hard to believe that this is the world's second-ranked player training. Are you sure he is not a beginner who has just picked up a racket and entered the basic class?
