Raise high!
Put it down gently!
The agile arcs amazed everyone.
"Hey!"
The audience exclaimed and gasped.
because!
It's a small ball!
Djokovic also chose a sudden attack with a small ball, copying and pasting Gawain's performance on the first break point, and reciprocating in his own way.
Djokovic cut a backslash with his backhand and flew towards Gao Wen's right frontcourt. The thrilling arc involved the hearts of the audience.
pedal!
Gao Wen accurately predicted the backslash shot, and was about to move towards his forehand position, but he didn't expect the choice of the small ball, and his footsteps paused slightly.
However, the difference between Gao Wen and Djokovic's situation is that even if he did not predict it, Gao Wen was not surprised, and he was mentally prepared in advance, because he knew that facing the Big Four is like this, and tactical routines are always the same. They are all changing, and once they change, they may change immediately.
What's more, it should be noted that tonight Djokovic's surfing frequency is much higher than that of Gao Wen. Under Becker's training, Djokovic's pre-net skills and awareness are slowly changing. And it was slowly polished through actual competitions, and finally evolved into a weapon at critical moments.
Therefore, Gao Wen's reaction was very swift.
As soon as the left calf kicked, the whole person rushed out directly, following the inertia of moving on the right side, changed the route slightly, and rushed forward along the diagonal line.
Squeak!
Gao Wen went online.
Bass!
Djokovic is also online.
The reactions of the two players were very timely and fast, and the footsteps were connected immediately, and then the two figures could be seen surfing the Internet at the same time.
The difference is that Gao Wen is for saving the ball, while Djokovic is for subsequent blocking.
Gao Wen immediately noticed Djokovic's figure.
If it is this group of young players born after 1990, they have superb bottom line strength, but weak pre-net awareness, and their follow-up links are often unable to keep up.
But the Big Four are not.
After choosing to put the small ball, their follow-up tactics are also formed in their minds. They all know whether to choose to stick to the bottom line or choose to block the net.
Apparently, Djokovic watched the game between Gao Wen and Murray, and he was impressed by his delicate handling before the net. Therefore, Djokovic went directly to the Internet without hesitation and got close The net is further blocked, and the two players immediately enter the hand-to-hand mode
From this detail, it can be seen that what Becker is to Djokovic and Sampras is to Gao Wen has a direct impact on their tactical system.
In Doha at the beginning of the year, the two players both participated in the doubles match, that is, to polish their front-net skills.
The last time they met in doubles, Gao Wen teamed up with Nadal to win, so what about the singles this time?
From the corner of his gaze, Gao Wen was judging Djokovic's position.
Although Djokovic is not a giant and lacks advantages in blocking at the physical level, his extensibility and softness are particularly good, coupled with his excellent anticipation, so his coverage in front of the net is no small matter.
Because Djokovic calculated first, his surfing steps were more leisurely, so he even entered the state earlier than Gao Wen, gently tiptoeing with small steps to prepare for the next shot to block the ball, his tense but flexible muscles It can be seen that the strong self-confidence exudes from the inside out
This is also a kind of psychological pressure.
what to do?
How should Gao Wen choose?
Tread Tread.
Gao Wen's main attention was still on the tennis ball. This time, Djokovic's control of the small ball was a bit lacking. The line and landing point were good, but the force was not released completely, so the rebound of the tennis ball after landing was particularly high. , obviously Gawain's rotation and Djokovic's rotation were superimposed together.
This also means that Gawain has enough height to finish the shot.
Forehand!
Sweep!
At the moment of the shot, Gao Wen's wrist adjusted slightly, it was not a soft package, but a straight impact
In fact, this is a fake move. On the surface, it seems that Gao Wen is going to play back the ball, but in fact, Gao Wen hits a deep ball back.
So what's the difference?
The difference lies in Djokovic's response.
Originally, Djokovic's wrist had already softened, ready to handle the delicate ball in front of the net and return a more difficult ball.
As a result, Gawain's return ball hit directly, so that Djokovic had no time to adjust, and reflexively stretched out his hand to block a shot on his right side.
boom!
Djokovic still accurately blocked Gao Wen's shot, but the control of the return ball was completely out of control, and the tennis ball actually rose.
next second.
Gao Wen jumped out straight away, with a posture of a carp leaping across the dragon's gate. At this time, there was no room for a two-handed backhand, and the one-handed backhand was at the high point of the tennis flight.
light touch.
The softness and delicacy of the wrist are undoubtedly revealed.
Then the tennis ball flew back
slash.
Djokovic slammed on the ground and threw his body out on the second start, trying to complete the interception.
However, it was a little short.
Just a little bit.
The tennis ball, breaking through Djokovic's blockade, landed in bounds and bounced off.
"40:40".
"ah!"
Gao Wen, finally released, raised his head to the sky and screamed.
"Ahhh!"
After suppressing it for too long, Gao Wen finally couldn't control it anymore, and roared heartily.
boom!
The Huaxia fans and neutral fans in the audience finally couldn't control themselves anymore, they raised their arms and shouted, screams and roars exploded in their ears~www.mtlnovel.com~Good goal! "
Zhang Sheng felt that his heart was about to stop beating.
"Strong goal! The two players fought wits and courage, and showed courage and courage in this point."
"Djokovic tried to copy Gawain's small-ball tactics and break the balance, but we can see Gawain's handling."
"He predicted Djokovic's interception at the net, so at the moment before the shot, he changed the way of hitting the ball, from a small ball in the shallow area to a long ball in the deep area, which also destroyed Djokovic. Intercept, and finally create an opportunity for his own interception on the next shot, saving the third break point."
"incredible!"
"We must know that Gao Wen is only nineteen years old this year. His wisdom and calmness, experience and wisdom are truly impressive."
"Even against Djokovic, Gawain still showed an unbelievable top level."
"At this point, Djokovic got a little out of control and yelled at the player's box."
Djokovic is dissatisfied, very, very dissatisfied
to myself.
After experiencing a painful reversal in the Paris Masters, which directly led to his two-game losing streak against Gao Wen, this is a painful memory for Djokovic.
Therefore, in London last year and Melbourne this year, Djokovic's attention was raised to the highest level to ensure that he would not miss Jingzhou carelessly.
but!
At the critical moment, Gao Wen saved three break points in a row with a solid, brave, bold and delicate performance, which was not good for Djokovic.
This is the case in any competitive sport. In top-level duels, missed opportunities will be punished.
"ah!"
Djokovic also roared out, even with two sets in hand, he must not take it lightly.
