"Match Point(
Nine beats.
Nine forehands in a row, and none of them were kills, they focused on control, and the strong control can be said to cover the whole court. This is Djokovic's ability.
Why didn't Djokovic attack directly to end the point?
In fact, it’s not about tactics or ability, but about character. Just like when you’re nervous, it’s easy to hit the ball more than ten or twenty times. The same is true for Djokovic’s baseline shot. As I grow older, I become more and more procrastinated, and I haven't taken the initiative for a long time.
Of course, part of the reason is also strategy, using such tactics to completely cover the entire court and force the opponent to run out.
This point, in fact, Djokovic is equivalent to not wanting it. If he can score, it is naturally the best; Breathless, Djokovic's layout will be much calmer.
After 2017, Djokovic's playing style is basically the same, more and more similar to Murray in his peak period.
As for now in 2014.
On the whole, under the coaching of Becker, Djokovic's game is relatively straightforward, but the two masters and apprentices are also in the running-in period. Some tactics have some layouts, and Djokovic's thinking is not very clear. So occasionally there will be procrastination, indecision is the main problem——
Just look at the US Open game.
At this time, it is the same again.
Djokovic had some chances to attack, but he didn't think the chances were good enough, so he didn't rush to start, and he was still controlling the situation.
Therefore, the situation of the game is a bit subtle——
Djokovic is like a puppeteer, while Gao Wen is a marionette, moving according to Djokovic's instructions. Even though Gao Wen tried to resist, he still couldn't get rid of it.
what to do?
Gao Wen, his footsteps are running wildly, and his brain is also functioning. He knows that he needs a strong blow to reverse the situation, at least he should win the opportunity to attack, but Djokovic's control is too strong, at least with Gao Wen's current ability, he cannot Forcibly break the situation through hard power.
Brake, steer, run.
Run, brake, steer.
Once again, Djokovic used a forehand skateboard to dispatch the tennis ball in the large triangle area of the diagonal bottom line. Gao Wen's running speed had reached the extreme, making full use of the inertial force of the sprint, and the forehand was powerfully thrown quickly. A beat.
top!
In fact, Gao Wen's lungs were already burning, his calf muscles were trembling, and his power to kick the ground was shaking a little, but now he had fallen into a vicious circle that he couldn't stop even if he wanted to.
With a light glance, this time the return of the ball worked well, it hit the baseline directly, and the angle was pulled back a little, falling in the middle range.
There is pressure, but still not enough.
Djokovic bounced the ball with his forehand, and with a slight roll of his wrist, the tennis ball flew towards Gawain's backhand again.
Gao Wen immediately stopped and turned, rushed to his backhand position, and then observed the flight and spin of the tennis ball.
Chance?
In this shot, because it is a bouncing ball, Djokovic's control time is compressed, so the control of the entire parabola is slightly lacking, so that the parabola is slightly higher.
Of course, if Gao Wen wants to enter the field to play midfield, it will be too late; but if Gao Wen wants to get his feet in place and launch a counterattack, there is a chance.
pedal!
deliver!
A long stride took half a beat, Gao Wen's footsteps were in place smoothly, and he backhanded with both hands and swept out powerfully, returning a slash.
This time, the angle of the slash was finally torn apart.
However, the arc was still not able to be suppressed - almost, the footsteps were still a little bit worse, the hitting point was a little slower, and the best time to hit the ball was missed.
Gao Wen didn't have time to be upset, because his own parabola was also not suppressed. Djokovic ran into place smoothly, and relentlessly used a sideways forehand, slamming hard and repeating the landing point.
Return the ball!
Gao Wen's footsteps continued to change direction habitually, and finally he took a step, and then started to come back again, the soles of his feet slipped a little, and he was very embarrassed.
However, it was finally slightly better than the previous shot, the hitting point was barely in place, and he hit a slash with a backhand with both hands.
This time, Djokovic finally did not continue to use the forehand-if he used the forehand for the eleventh consecutive shot, then it would be a humiliating shot choice.
slash.
Continue to repeat the landing point, this is already the third consecutive shot where Gao Wen chooses the backhand position.
caught!
Gawain's eyes lit up. This time, his footsteps did not continue to move laterally, but kept light. He just waited in place and caught Djokovic's return ball.
Tennis, delivered to your door!
Kick off! Stand firm! Curl your toes and grab the ground with all your strength.
Quote! Turn! The whole lead-in action was ahead of schedule, taking half a beat away from the rhythm.
Djokovic was fast, and Gao Wen was also dissatisfied.
Faster than faster!
On top of that, just as he was about to hit the ball, the foot took a step forward.
When Djokovic saw this move by Gawain, the alarm bells rang out, because this is Gawain's iconic backhand to hit the ball.
Every time, Gao Wen will take a step up to grab the ball, and rely on the stability of the backhand with both hands to complete the line change of the ball. At the US Open, Gao Wen was his signature weapon.
straight line?
Djokovic's footsteps moved towards his forehand immediately.
Gao Wen was unmoved, and did not receive any interference from Djokovic's movement at all. He hit the ball very firmly and in one go—
Breaking! He must break the balance from the tactical level!
break out! Push!
straight line. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
It is indeed a straight line.
The tennis ball is like a bullet, crossing the court, and the hunting wind sweeps the court.
Suddenly!
Djokovic completely controlled the audience. In the tug-of-war of more than 20 rounds, he always had the upper hand. Gawain defended passively in complete embarrassment.
Like a cat playing with a mouse.
But Gao Wen seized a gap, it was just an accurate judgment of turning back the ball, and he turned from defense to offense without hesitation, and his decisive temperament instantly broke the balance.
Thumb up!
Djokovic is running at full speed, the speed has been increased to the extreme, but it is too late, after all, it is still too late.
Gao Wen's shot turned into a light and shadow, and the straight line shot out along the sideline, leaving only the crisp sound of hitting the ball echoing in the air.
"7:6, Gao Wen leads."
The referee's voice has already come, even though Djokovic is still running, but the tennis ball has already formed two jumps, and this point has come to an end.
Go-ahead!
Inventory, it appeared!
Huffing and wheezing.
Gawain was panting.
Huffing and wheezing.
Djokovic is also breathing heavily.
In the tug-of-war of twenty-four beats, both players were exhausted. At this time, Gao Wen did not celebrate, but just clenched his fists heavily to cheer himself up.
Djokovic turned his head to look at Gao Wen, but he didn't feel depressed—
For this point, Djokovic didn't rush to score, so he was not angry when he lost the point. Looking at Gao Wen who was panting like a cow, he knew it, and the consumption can be imagined.
In fact, compared to Gao Wen, Djokovic, who has always been in control of the initiative, seems to have a leisurely attitude, and it seems that he has not been greatly affected.
