Latest URL: "...Mike's backhand was unsteady today."
"The opponent should have grown up on clay, and the ball has a habit of increasing spin, which is very heavy. I think in the first two sets, Mike's backhand didn't hold back the spin, and he must have lost a lot of changing shots, so that now the final set If you don’t dare to make a move, you will be suppressed.”
Talking in a low voice, under the precondition of not making any noise, Gawain and Jiron were discussing Macdonald's situation.
Not good, very bad.
In fact, McDonald's opponent is a typical professional player from a young age. Although he has been in the professional stage for many years, he has been rolling in the youth game, so he habitually uses his physical talent to form a confrontation, that is to say, he rarely needs to use his brain to plan his own. batting tactics.
Naturally, almost all batting line combinations are routines, which can be accurately predicted in advance.
But at the same time, young and strong, with excellent running ability and top defensive ability, unless it is some extreme balls, they can be in place immediately.
It is precisely because of this that McDonald is in a dilemma. Even if he accurately predicts the opponent's return line, he needs to devote more energy to the offensive link, but the opponent can always run in place, and then forces McDonald's offense to take risks. More risk, easy to make mistakes.
This kind of game is not good.
Because the hitting lines of both players are predictable, the audience can predict how they will hit the ball, which is basically a square ball, which loses the fun; at the same time, the speed of the two players' hitting remains basically the same, There is no speed change, the whole process is at a constant speed, and it makes people sleepy just watching it.
As Geelong said just now, McDonald's backhand is unstable and lacks a hitting line, so he falls into more passiveness.
The situation is indeed not optimistic.
In Gao Wen's view, Macdonald still has to dare to re-play the line with a backhand, even if it is not a dribble, and use cutting and rebounding to get out the straight line in order to change the situation, otherwise the opponent will increase a lot of rotation. The way the ball is hit, the defense really doesn't drop the ball.
After all, Macdonald has won a Challenger Championship and has more experience than Gao Wen and Geelong. They all expect Macdonald to regain his composure, find a breakthrough, and seize the opportunity in the final set. Otherwise, if the stalemate continues, MacDonald was still at a disadvantage.
But Gao Wen and Jilong did not continue the discussion, but followed the game etiquette and focused on watching the game.
really.
Professional players have a keen sense of smell. McDonald's offense still failed to withstand the pressure. He made two mistakes on his forehand and lost his serve—
Like Gawain's second set, in the ninth game of the deciding set, Macdonald suffered a fatal break, and his opponent took a "5:4" lead, and then ushered in his own serve to win the game.
The situation is not good.
Gao Wen became anxious uncontrollably. He was even more focused and nervous than when he was facing the match point. He could clearly hear the sound of his heart hitting his chest. Now he finally understood the meaning of that sentence:
In many cases, the coaches on the sidelines are more nervous than the players on the field. No wonder it is very common for head coaches in competitive sports to have heart problems. At this moment, I am afraid that pouring a bucket of ice water directly will not work.
Turning his head, he could see Jilong gnawing his thumbnail, which caused Gao Wen to show a shallow smile. It seemed that they were in the same mood, but Jiron was completely focused on the court and didn't pay attention at all. Seeing Gao Wen's eyes, he almost couldn't breathe.
The game is still going on.
It is a pity that McDonald lacked a little bit of luck after all. Although he got a break point and saved two match points in the opponent's serve-winning game, he still failed to break back after all. On the third match point, with A forehand into the net ruined the victory of the whole game.
The final score, "3:6", "6:4", "6:4".
Very regrettable.
Both Geelong and MacDonald have the upper hand. Both players won the first set. This is the most direct proof. However, they both suffered a comeback and lost in the first round. Even the scores in the three sets were exactly the same. .
On the contrary, Gao Wen, facing the downwind situation, lost the first set first but managed to turn the tide and win the victory.
Sure enough, professional competitions are different after all.
Looking at Macdonald who was dejectedly running towards the center of the court to shake hands, Gawain and Jiron both stood up and applauded the two players for their wonderful match. Then Gawain pursed the corners of his mouth and shook his head lightly to complain about himself. .
Just now, he was still thinking ambitiously that his next step would be to challenge the Big Four, but now it seems that he immediately realized that he was overwhelmed and his heart was higher than the sky. Five players get carried away, and the Big Four are still too far away for him.
From the toughness of Kokinakis, to Geelong and Macdonald who had the advantage but were overturned, the first event of their career ushered in a vivid lesson:
Keep your feet on the ground, step by step, and wait for the strength to reach the corresponding level, everything will follow, there will be challenges, victories, and champions; but if you are arrogant and ambitious, "hurt "Zhong Yong" geniuses are numerous in competitive sports, and professional players who are not geniuses and fleeting are as numerous as stars.
He needs to stay calm.
Although the Big Four are too far away, there is a "little giant" in the Binghamton Challenge, at least the future "little giant"—
Little Zverev.
Although the current young Zverev is far from mature, for Gao Wen at this stage, this should be another extreme challenge, far stronger than Kokinakis.
Moreover, Gao Wen was divided into the lower half, and Zverev Jr. was in the upper half. If they want to join forces, they must go to the finals.
finals!
Thinking of this~www.mtlnovel.com~ Gao Wen couldn't help getting excited again, eager to try, whether it was the qualification to advance to the final or the chance to face Zverev Jr., Gao Wen couldn't wait to step on the court, Pass the test.
Let the storm come more violently!
"Marcos, Gawain."
The game was over and they saw a weary Macdonald in the players' locker room.
In terms of the difficulty of the game, McDonald should be the hardest today, from the time of the game to the intensity of the match. Coupled with the regret of losing, it is inevitable that there will be some disappointment between the brows, and even the shoulders will droop.
Seeing this, Gao Wen walked up, patted MacDonald on the shoulder, and said simply, "Come again next time."
The most simple sentence made Macdonald's nose sore, and his voice became slightly more choked, "I could have won today, I'm not reconciled."
