"15:40".
Two consecutive break points and inventory.
In the first area, it was still Lindstead's serve, but this time it was Gao Wen who was standing on the baseline on the opposite side of the net, preparing to receive the serve. The positions of the two sides also changed slightly.
Kubert stood in the tee box, facing Gawain; Tim stood near the baseline, facing Lindstead.
From another perspective, Lindstede stands on the bottom line, Kubert stands in front of the net; Gawain and Tim both stand near the bottom line.
It can be seen from small details that the Australian Open champion on the opposite side is a standard doubles player. When Lindstead serves, Kubert is responsible for grabbing the net and relying on his physical coverage in front of the net to create visual pressure. As long as the quality of the return serve drops a little, he can kill him directly.
Gao Wen and Tim lack a little confidence in their net skills. Although they usually adjust their positions and put pressure on the net, such as the previous point; but at critical moments, both players stand on the bottom line:
Because the bottom line technology is the link I trust the most, I can inadvertently see the jerky tension between the two.
On the court, Gao Wen and Tim were communicating in low voices. In fact, for the two of them, jerky is jerky, but there is no tension at all, just focus; moreover, because there is a partner in the doubles game, you can find a partner in difficult times. Rely on, and the mentality is more relaxed.
"I try to get the ball as aggressive as possible towards Kubert and add topspin to force his return to be longer. You watch Lindstead's position."
"No problem, this time we can partition left and right."
After a brief exchange, Gawain and Tim were ready.
Doubles games require division of labor and cooperation. It is impossible to win the game by relying on one person to do everything. Therefore, before hitting the ball, the partners often assign each other's roles, and the position is also part of it. Either stand front and back, or stand left and right. position, and then focus on your own coverage area as much as possible, while paying attention to complementarity.
Gao Wen and Tim still lacked a tacit understanding. Relying on telepathy to cooperate with hitting the ball is not feasible, so it still needs to be spoken out.
Standing on the bottom line at this time, the scene in Gao Wen's vision is completely different from that of a singles match:
You can see a big Buddha right in front of you. Kubert is 191cm tall and stands upright on the website, giving him a sense of oppression; but fortunately, the area on his left court is covered by Tim, which also means that Gawain's normal The backhand coverage has shrunk, and the defensive area has changed accordingly.
change. Go around.
Gao Wen quickly spun the racket in his hand, leaned forward and stared at Lindstead on the opposite side of the court, and at the same time, he did not forget Kubert from the corner of his eyes—
It's been more than thirty minutes, and I still don't quite get used to it, and I'm a little distracted.
boom!
Just then, Lindstead served.
Outer corner!
Stomping on the ground, starting, and moving laterally, Gawain's overall starting speed was a little bit slower, and he made the most common and most common mistake for beginners in doubles, but Gawain was not immersed in the chagrin of his missed prediction, and continued to complete the game in small steps. Adjust and focus on the shots they communicated.
For this ball, Lindstead significantly reduced his strength, increased a lot of spin, served the ball on the sideline, and then quickly jumped out of the field.
Such a tactic, used to suppress Tim's one-handed backhand, should be more effective, but for Gao Wen, after Nadal's super topspin impact, and now the backhand is facing the spin impact of other players, the whole response seems to be calm. —
kick! A pick!
Gao Wen's entire backhand swing was very tight and fast, he didn't make a complete swing, but used the power of his body to complete the violent friction, but because his footsteps started a little slower, he had already missed the opportunity to change the straight line, so Gao Wen Wen just adds a lot of friction to hit the slash.
rub!
It can be clearly seen that the parabola of the entire return serve is different, the flight trajectory is slightly higher, and when it crosses the net, it has reached the position above the shoulder obliquely, and the height of the net is consciously pulled up——
In singles matches, this speed of returning the ball is too slow, giving the opponent time to adjust their body weight after serving; but in doubles matches, the players in front of the net are more concerned.
really!
Kubert grabbed the net at the first time, and moved laterally with two large strides. It turned out that the tennis ball was flying higher than expected, and there was no way to complete the ball. However, the high-pressure ball was not high enough, and the entire height was a bit ambiguous. in mid-air.
He didn't have time for a second reaction. He jumped up on the spot and threw the ball backwards in basketball. The racket went around the top of his head and he used his forehand to complete the push. The ball, it can be clearly seen that the whole swing and push down action is not complete.
At the same time, Lindstede has quickly followed up towards the net, and the two players have formed a joint coverage in front of the net.
boom!
There was no way to control the landing point of the tennis ball. It landed on the teeing area on Gawain's side and bounced high with very average speed and strength. However, because of Gawain's strong topspin, it caused Kubert to return the ball The height of the rebound was sufficient, so that when it flew to Gao Wen's station, it was already about two meters high.
Pulling onions in a dry land!
Gao Wen took off from the spot, slapped the top of the head with his forehand, quickly slapped his wrist, and increased a lot of friction again. Pushing one point at a time, he sent out a graceful arc, and flew over unsteadily, and he could fully see it in the blink of an eye. Variations in how you hit the ball.
Actually!
Going over the top of Kubert's head, and judging from the parabolic trajectory, it should be able to fall accurately within the bounds. Without taking the initiative to exert force, Gao Wen's delicate control purely relying on the wrist is fully revealed. This is very rare in a singles match. Difficult hits.
"Ugh!"
Kubert let out a muffled grunt, stepped back twice in a row, and completed an interception above his head with a backward shot for the second time in a row. His whole body was like a fully drawn bowstring, relying on the strength of his waist and abdomen to press down forcibly, but even so, The amount of downforce is still lacking, obviously not suppressed.
boom!
Tennis ~www.mtlnovel.com~ flew over.
It's Gao Wen's side again!
Even when his body was out of balance, Kubert still insisted on hitting straight lines and avoiding diagonal lines, so that Tim, who was always moving his feet, had no room to play.
Although Tim wanted to help Gao Wen very much, the most taboo thing about doubles competitions was overlapping areas.
If Tim goes to help but fails to form a winning point, then the other half is completely empty. Once Tim's return fails to form a sufficient advantage, Kubert and Lindstead will definitely not miss it easily.
So Tim can only keep his body light and mobile all the time, and focus on the game.
However, this time Kubert's choice of return route may not necessarily be said to be wise.
Because, the rotation attached to Gao Wen's forehand again affected Kubert's return, and he managed to finish the high pressure, but it landed in the deep area, just on the route of Gao Wen's lateral movement. Is this a direct hit on the muzzle?
