"5:2".
The first game is still going on.
After a brief turmoil in the opening, the game entered a relatively stable stage. Dimitrov and Gawain took turns to hold serve, and neither was challenged. The total time spent in the four games was not as good as Gawain's first serve. .
In a blink of an eye, after Dimitrov secured his serve again, the score came to the magical "five to two". Although the difference seemed huge, it was actually only a gap of a break of serve, and the game was still in suspense.
During the break between rounds, Gao Wen sat in the players' rest area, his brain spinning at high speed.
So far, Dimitrov has really performed well in his serve, especially his backhand. He can play, cut, attack and defend, like the six-veined sword of "Dragon Babu", intercepting all of Gawain's attacks .
It can be seen that Dimitrov is also fully prepared.
Like Federer's game, Dimitrov also clearly knows that his backhand position may suffer a concentrated attack, so he needs to make tactical deployments against his opponent and find a breakthrough to reverse the situation of the game.
Last year, facing Murray and Djokovic successively, Dimitrov's backhand was amazing. Facing the two top backhand masters in today's tennis world, Dimitrov's one-handed backhand Pat withstood the test and even made Djokovic break out in a sweat in the semifinals.
The same is true today.
After getting rid of the burden, Dimitrov also completely got rid of the slump in the first half of the year. He played a very good backhand. Not only was it stable, but the quality of the ball was also high. In the strong confrontation on both offensive and defensive ends, seize the upper hand.
In a blink of an eye, the game had already gone seven rounds, and Gao Wen began to use his brain—
Obviously, Dimitrov has already taken precautions, he knows that the backhand position is the key point; moreover, what is important is that Dimitrov's backhand is really good, showing a good competitive state, if his combination of tactical routines Without adjustments, it means entering Dimitrov's familiar game mode.
Adjustment is inevitable.
Gao Wen didn't intend to adjust after losing the first set; even if he still lost the first set in the end, the current tactical adjustments are paving the way for the subsequent games.
The point is, how should it be adjusted?
Simply start to focus on Dimitrov's forehand?
This kind of strategic adjustment is very difficult to be effective, and the tactical combination of tennis is far from only forehand and backhand; Finally achieved the goal.
"time up."
The 90-second break between rounds is fleeting. No matter how the follow-up tactics are adjusted, the first condition is that Gao Wen needs to keep his serve—
This was his first serve that had to be secured.
If there is a break in this game, then the tactical adjustment is irrelevant, and the game will go directly to the second set.
call.
After adjusting his breath, Gawain stood up, constantly active his legs, stepped on the high leg and entered the field to prepare for the subsequent confrontation.
— "Game, high."
Despite losing two points, Dimitrov once caught up to "40:30", but Gao Wen still seized the opportunity of the second game point and simply secured the serve.
"5:3", followed by Dimitrov's serve to win the game, and it was also Gao Wen's last chance to adjust the tactical test layout in the first game.
"15:0", the serve was straight. Although Gao Wen had already touched the tennis ball, the speed of the ball was too fast, colliding with the racket, and it was too late to finish the shot.
"30:0", although Dimitrov made the first serve out of bounds, Dimitrov added a strong spin on the second serve, which caused Gawain to return the ball shallowly. His footsteps caught up very timely, and he went directly into the bottom line, with a forehand slashing Da Dijiao found the big triangle area on the bottom line on Gao Wen's right, made a direct hit and scored the winning point.
In serving to win the game, Dimitrov remained calm and clear, and the first two points were crisp and neat, following his excellent offensive touch in the first set.
The most important thing is the link of serving and receiving, which is a typical grassland feature.
Grass court players have a very obvious addition to the serving power. They are fast, flat, heavy and low. The whole strength and rhythm are different. Just this link changes the entire content of the game. shine.
But faced with such a situation, there is no other solution.
Either be patient and wait for the player's physical strength to fluctuate, or the hand feel to fluctuate, resulting in a decline in the success rate and power of the serve.
Either it is to improve his serve return package. Djokovic can write brilliantly at Wimbledon, and the serve return technology is very important.
After adjusting his breathing, his footsteps have already reached the first area, ready to face Dimitrov's serve again.
So far in this game, in the first zone, Dimitrov's serving state is very good, especially the outer corner, which requires angle, speed and speed, which can be called perfect; Gao Wen applied pressure, maintaining his shock and deterrence.
So what about this score?
Continue to the outer corner?
Gawain guessed that with Dimitrov's personality, he pursued perfection. If the outer corner of the first area performed perfectly today, he would probably continue to persist; after all, the perfect serve left Gawain with very limited room for maneuver, Accurate prediction, but what he can do is also very limited.
What's more, now that Dimitrov is "30:0" ahead, he doesn't need to take risks or change, just continue to stick to his routine.
The outer corner is indeed a high probability event—
Gao Wen decided to take a gamble.
So, after continuously inverting his feet, Gao Wen moved ahead of time.
The moment Dimitrov threw the ball, his body was already ready, almost at the same time as the racket touched the ball, Gawain rushed out like an arrow off the string.
Right, forehand, outside corner.
really!
Prediction is accurate.
But Gawain was not ecstatic, and remained rational and calm, concentrating on it.
One stride, two strides.
With a horizontal cross step movement, the body was already in place quickly~www.mtlnovel.com~ With a kick of the right leg, an emergency brake controlled the body, and a strong reaction force rushed towards his face like a stormy sea, but this force became Gao Wen With the help of the help, the whole swivel swing movement is obviously accelerated.
Huh!
A roar erupted from the depths of the dantian, struck out with the epee forehand, and collided forcefully head-on, and at the moment of touching the ball, relying on the strength of the wrist to wrap around the area, instantly speeding up and throwing it out, increasing the speed of the racket head to the extreme, using strength to hit, At the same time, fully exert force, and the energy rushes from the soles of the feet all the way.
boom!
Solid, violent, powerful, crisp.
All in one go.
The serve at 123 miles per hour (198 kilometers) hit Gawain's racket line, all the speed and power were released, and it exploded at a short touch. The serve line returned the same way, like a rocket.
-boom.
-Snapped.
Landing, bouncing, going into the dead corner, tearing through Dimitrov's defense, he didn't even have time to regain his feet, and the tennis ball was already passing by, bombing along the way.
Back serve ACE!
