"Match Point(
In the third game point and inventory, Gao Wen didn't do anything special, and all his attention was focused on the next point, because he knew that the fierce battle was still going on.
How should you choose your serve?
Gawain glanced at Djokovic's position, and it was obvious that Djokovic's position was half a step forward than usual.
What does it mean?
If facing a serve cannon like Isner, because of the amazing speed of the ball, players often need more time to judge, even if it is a top receiver like Djokovic, he also needs to open up space to give himself enough reaction time .
Then, Djokovic's receiving position will be one to one and a half steps behind the baseline.
Today, in the face of Gao Wen's serve, Djokovic's receiving position has actually been adjusted all the time. On the one hand, it is because the absolute strength of Gao Wen's serve is really not a cannonball, and on the other hand, it is because the two sides met for the first time. In the fight, Djokovic was also disturbing Gao Wen's attention while finding out the bottom line.
One point before, Gao Wen sent out his first ACE of the game, which was to catch the small gap where Djokovic was too far ahead, and then unexpectedly chose the outside corner.
What about this time?
Djokovic did not shake his tactics because of the last ACE. He still exerted pressure through his stance, and his stance was slightly on the backhand position.
Is this a trap?
In the blink of an eye, Gao Wen also had many thoughts surging in his mind.
Then, he made a judgment and a choice.
Throw the ball! Kick off! Turn! swing!
boom.
Press the forehand close.
Gao Wen deliberately didn't tear up the angle, but broke the rules and chose a close serve, but at the critical moment, Gao Wen's requirements were a bit too high, the hitting point was slightly forward, and the control of the angle and landing point was not precise enough—
The melee suppression was not completely suppressed, but was slightly closer to the center line of the service area.
This also means that Djokovic only needs to straddle a part horizontally to find the hitting point, and the tactical intention of close pressure is destroyed.
really!
Gao Wen's alarm had just sounded, and Djokovic was already in place with one stride. He didn't swing his forehand too much, but swung his forearm quickly. Pushed back.
Whoosh.
Djokovic's understatement, but the control is very frightening, the power is slightly inferior, but the speed and angle are completely suppressed——
Return the ball, landed in the big triangle area of the bottom line, and shot out low and flat.
Gao Wen immediately fell into a panic. Even if he sounded the alarm immediately, his feet started to move on the spot, and he was standing in the backhand position, and it was only two or three steps from the serving position to the bottom line triangle on the left; Jokovic's return was very deep and the angle was torn apart, and it was still thrown out after landing.
passive!
There was no room for Gao Wen to backhand the racket with both hands, so he just used the joint movement of his body to backhand him.
Gao Wen tried to push the tennis ball back to Djokovic's backhand to form a pairing, but the effect of returning the ball was mediocre. From this, we can see Djokovic's unparalleled bottom line control, even if the ball is not so heavy, But it can also suppress the space for returning the ball.
Obviously Gao Wen tried to return a big diagonal line, but the landing point was only in the middle of the half court, and the angle and line were not separated in time.
Djokovic adjusted in small steps continuously, and switched from a backhand to a sideways forehand in a daze, forcefully attacking—
This time Djokovic asked for a wider angle, and the tennis ball hit the sideline directly.
Inbound!
The linesman gestures!
Gao Wen had expected it a long time ago. Although his footsteps were slightly towards the forehand position to make a defensive posture, his center of gravity was always on the backhand position. He noticed Djokovic's return line and rushed back immediately.
Tread Tread!
After taking three big strides in a row, Gao Wen was already in place smoothly. Although Djokovic opened the angle of returning the ball, because of the accurate prediction in advance, Gao Wen did not panic, but became more calm.
In fact, this ball Djokovic suppressed very cleverly. It was not a conventional all-round force. A lot of rotation control was also added to the active force. The angle and rotation were used to shrink the space for returning the ball, and the opponent was forced to miss through the landing point. bit.
Strictly speaking, for Gao Wen, it is not a very good opportunity to attack. It is the best choice to use flexible and changeable returns to break the batting rules or transition shots.
When facing Kei Nishikori, Gao Wen will put a short ball, because he knows that Kei Nishikori's pre-net handling skills are not enough, and Kei Nishikori can't be tough even if he wants to be tough.
But in the face of Djokovic, Gao Wen refused to do this. Although his net skills are also the biggest shortcoming of the world's number one, Djokovic's ability to handle changing **** at critical moments should not be underestimated. Gao Wen will not Take such a risk.
Therefore, Gao Wen's choice is—
Supporting the ground with the left foot, the backhand with both hands leads the racket early, and with the swinging motion, the whole body is rushed out, and the strike is fixed!
Down to earth!
Backhand slash attack!
A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, Gao Wen once again seized the fleeting opportunity to attack!
"Ingenuity VS force"!
Djokovic's forehand force is still mainly controlled, but Gao Wen's backhand force is unreasonable and directly hits the tennis ball back~www.mtlnovel.com~Boom!
…etc!
Why didn't Gao Wen's return ball widen the angle? Shouldn't it be a diagonal line that further rips the angle apart? But Gao Wen's return ball returned to the middle of Djokovic's left half. What's the matter with this neither left nor right landing point?
Djokovic can catch the ball despite the deep pressure.
Could it be that Gao Wen was too young and too impatient to control himself well?
But the next second, when Djokovic was forced to backhand with one hand and cut a shot, the audience was stunned——
what happened?
In fact, Gao Wen did not tear the angle on purpose, because Djokovic switched his footsteps to a sideways forehand in the previous shot, so Djokovic stayed in place and prepared to defend.
If Gao Wen continued to tear the angle of the backhand slash according to the conventional routine, it would look very threatening, but Djokovic did not have much trouble defending.
Gao Wen deliberately aimed at the bottom of Djokovic's stance and hit it, similar to a close-up serve, forcing Djokovic's defensive footsteps to move uncontrollably, creating an advantage when he was actively attacking—
He didn't think he could tear through Djokovic's impenetrable bottom line coverage with a simple two-shot impact.
really!
Djokovic's footsteps did not give way, and Gao Wen's return was so deep that the entire swing could not be stretched, and there was no way to exert force. As a result, Djokovic was forced to use a chipping return hit a ball.
Goal achieved!
In a seemingly simple shot, the balance of advantages and disadvantages has been going back and forth between Gao Wen and Djokovic several times. The excitement of this match has far exceeded expectations. One set, the entire Arthur Ashe stadium has been thrown into a frenzy.
