Text 272 Towards Victory
How should you play when you are in the lead? Or to be more precise, how should you play when facing a strong counterattack from your opponent? To be more precise, how should I play when facing a player of Zverev Jr.'s style and trying to launch a counterattack?
Gao Wen's answer is to change the rhythm.
The seventeen-year-old Zverev Jr. is still too immature after all, far from reaching the height of the top ten in the world in the future, and there are not many ways to do it when he hits the ball behind.
As soon as he served, Gao Wen suddenly reduced his strength to serve, and the speed was only 163 kilometers per hour.
Zverev’s judgment was accurate, and he swung his racket with a forehand with a big stride, ready to exert all his force, but the force of the incoming ball was obviously lower than expected. Under the situation of blind force, the hitting action has been deformed, and the return of the ball is completely out of shape. There is no parabola at all, and it flies straight out of the bottom line.
Out of bounds.
"15:0".
As soon as he served, Gao Wen suddenly increased his speed, hitting the middle of the serve with a speed of 188 kilometers per hour.
Zverev Jr. was obviously not prepared enough, and his footsteps were a little slower when he let go of the side. The tennis ball had already hit the racket frame and flew outrageously towards the audience stands.
"30:0".
On the first serve, Gao Wen reduced his strength to serve again, seeking the landing point, and asked for a light and thin big outer corner.
Zverev Jr. was pulled out of the field and made a flying hook with a difficult movement, and finally completed a qualified return; but there were not many options for the return route, only a diagonal line, As a result, Gao Wen was already waiting there.
A light forehand hit in a straight line, without pursuing power and speed, and hitting the gap again through the control of the landing point, forming the winning point effortlessly.
"40:0".
On the first serve, Gao Wen served a high-quality flat serve with a speed of 185 kilometers per hour. He made an extreme inner corner serve and landed at point t.
ace.
Zverev Jr. failed to touch the tennis ball.
In the "love-game", Gao Wen simply won his serve and took advantage of the break, taking a "2:0" lead in the second set.
what happened?
Is Zverev really so bad? Is Gao Wen really so powerful?
of course not.
The most important part lies in tennis wisdom. If a game is compared to a war, then Gao Wen skillfully uses Sun Tzu’s Art of War to change the situation of the battle. Accelerate when accelerating, Zverev Jr. can't keep up.
In terms of batting power, Zverev Jr. is definitely better than Gao Wen, but just look at Gao Wen's serve just now.
Zverev Jr. still didn't get rid of his own ideological stereotypes, but just wanted to exert his strength. However, Gao Wen won by cleverness, and changes were always ahead.
More importantly, the little Zverev's attention was a little distracted, and he just kept trying to use force, force, and force again, trying to suppress Gawain through strength.
But after falling into this mode, the hitting action is easy to be stiff. Not only is it easy to miss the hitting point, even if the hitting point is found accurately, the wrapping of the tennis ball is also lacking, and it is very, very easy to lose control of the parabolic flight trajectory.
As a result, two serves scored directly, a forehand winner, and an ace, and Gao Wen easily won his serve in the blink of an eye.
Zverev Jr. turned to look at his player box, cursing furiously.
The audience booed—
The tennis audience, no one likes a player throwing a tantrum on the court, it's not only rude, it's disrespectful.

"40:40", after three equal points, Gao Wen broke serve again.
"40:0", Gao Wen made another guarantee.
"30:40", then Gao Wen broke serve for the third time.
In the blink of an eye, the trend of the second set showed signs of collapse. Gao Wen had already led by a big score of "5:0", ushering in his own serve to win the game.
unexpected!
Totally unexpected!
Even if the audience had imagined that Gao Wen might overthrow Zverev Jr. and win by surprise, absolutely no one could have expected such a disparity in the score. From the process to the result, it can be seen that the situation was overwhelming. Zverev Jr. Lev seems unable to form a confrontation, which is really surprising.
Are you sure you didn't take the wrong script?
Although Zverev Jr. could occasionally hit a stunning strike and win applause and encouragement from the audience, he couldn't connect in a row, and then sent a match point.
"40:30".
With Zverev Jr. returning the ball out of bounds again, Gao Wen ushered in today's first match point in his serve.
"Ho **** ho ho!"
"Ahhh!"
In the spectator stands, both Macdonald and Geelong stood up. They sat in Gawain's player box with Tobias to watch the game. At this time, they all waved their fists to cheer for Gawain. Amid the cheers of the audience , standing firmly on Gawain's side—

The audience is boiling.
Because the noise at the scene was so sensational that Gao Wen failed to serve twice, and the referee had to ask the audience to be quiet again and again.
"Players are ready. Thank you!"
It wasn't until the third time that the scene finally quieted down, but Gao Wen's serve rhythm was obviously disrupted, and he had to face the situation of a second serve after hitting the net once.
In fact, at the end of the second set, Zverev Jr. has gradually calmed down and returned his attention, because he realized that he was already standing on the edge of a cliff, and if he did not give up, he might not have a chance Therefore, the quality of the shot has also improved significantly. Coupled with the concentration of attention, the whole confrontation can be stalemate again.
Just look at the score, "40:30", Gao Wen faced a severe test in his serve to win the game.
