Pulan felt an indescribable excitement and tremor intertwined together, rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and the entire Tianling Cap seemed to be broken through.
Numb, exciting, turbulent.
Of course, regrets exist.
In this point, Gao Wen performed very, very well. That split shot made full use of his body and the court. Once he can win it, it will be a break point.
This will also be the first break point that Gao Wen gets in this game, an extremely precious and important break point.
However, if Dimitrov had the help of God, his shot of flying immortals would definitely shock everyone. Even Dimitrov himself did not expect it.
When Dimitrov confirmed that his shot was within bounds, he unexpectedly smiled and raised his racket and gestured towards Gawain to apologize——
Just like net cleaning, this score is more or less a matter of luck.
On the opposite side of the court, Gawain looked at Dimitrov's return ball and found the landing point. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and then he applauded his friend.
Worthy of respect!
This scene once again reminded Pulan that competitive sports is far more than just winning and losing. Such ups and downs and such wonderful confrontations are the real essence. Even game highlights and the top five goals of the day cannot summarize the whole process of watching the game with your own eyes.
Feelings are completely two different things.
If you haven’t experienced those leads and lags, those missed opportunities and opportunities, and you haven’t felt the impact that Gawain showed in this game, you can’t feel the rareness and preciousness of Dimitrov’s explosion in this minute.
.
Slightly stunned, and sincerely, from the bottom of his heart, Pullan also applauded Dimitrov——
He deserves this victory.
Similarly, Pulan also saw the fighting spirit displayed by Gawain, and she believed that this round, this set, was not over yet.
Plop.
Plop.
The heart is beating wildly.
"40:30".
inventory.
The whole audience held their breath and all their eyes fell on Dimitrov. The reason is very simple:
Goodbye ACE?
Obviously, Dimitrov has the ability to issue an ace at a critical moment. If this is an ace, it will end the first set neatly.
For Dimitrov fans, this is the best result; but for Gao Wen fans and other neutral fans, this may not be the case.
Court No. 1 was completely silent until a sound broke through the sky and broke the silence.
——"out".
Dimitrov's first serve was slightly too long and ended up going out of bounds.
So, second shot.
It is unimaginable that even the simplest and most basic first and second shots can still feel the surge of emotions. Pulan couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Kick on the ground, throw the ball, swing the racket.
Second serve, attack.
Close!
At the critical moment, Dimitrov also changed his tactical routine. Instead of choosing the inside or outside corner, he used a close serve to limit Gawain's return.
Although it was the second serve, the ball speed was not very fast, but it had obvious sidespin and continued to drive towards Gawain's body after landing.
Gawain, there is no manuscript——
In the first set, Dimitrov did not face any break points, which also meant that Gao Wen had no way of knowing the key score and Dimitrov's layout choice; similarly, Gao Wen did not expect that Dimitrov would
Troff actually chose a change to break the deadlock on his first count.
From a tactical game perspective, Dimitrov took the lead.
Gao Wen tried to turn his body sideways, but he was very passive and his steps were still a little lacking. Finally, he simply leaned back to get out of the way, held the racket in front of him, cut and pushed sideways to block the shot, and completed the ball in a very awkward and unconventional posture.
, there is no guarantee of the batting effect.
In tennis, the parabola is a little high, but the line is controlled in the middle. From the perspective of the parabola, the final landing point should be near the bottom line of the service area.
This is a midfield ball.
The opportunity lies with Dimitrov, so how will he connect the attack?
Forehand? Backhand? Center?
Volley? Ball? Cutting?
In the flash of lightning, there are thousands of thoughts, but Gawain has no time to think, so he can only follow his intuition. He needs to guess.
Yes, you can guess, you can bet, you can say whatever you want. At this time, you need to trust your intuition and a little luck. There is no other way.
——Backhand.
Gawain makes a choice.
The main reason is that in the last chance of the game, Dimitrov chose a forehand, and Gao Wen scored; and in the point just now, the two people's forehands faced each other, although Dimitrov
The score was scored, but there was obviously an element of luck, and Dimitrov was unwilling to leave the result to luck.
So, backhand.
Maybe Gawain is right, maybe he is wrong, but the tennis arena is changing rapidly, and he has no time to hesitate. He must be resolute and decisive.
Steps, tiptoeing and jumping lightly, as if stepping on a spring, the body has jumped out.
One step.
Immediately afterwards, Gawain's pupils contracted rapidly, and he saw that Dimitrov's shot had already been released, with a forehand and a backhand, aiming for the backhand.
Guessed it!
Another step forward.
Gao Wen's conditioned reflexes were very fast, and he continuously crossed and changed steps. He was already in place smoothly in just three steps, and even waited on the line a beat in advance.
Squat down and lower your center of gravity.
Take the shot and prepare in advance.
Glancing at the court from the corner of his eyes, Dimitrov took advantage of the situation and reached the net with light steps. His tall body completely covered the net. He kept his body relaxed and blocked different lines, even his own hitting line.
If you are seen through, you will still have an absolute advantage in the next shot.
This is the advantage in the first three shots established through serving, which is particularly prominent on grass courts.
Turn around and swing quickly.
Gawain remained unmoved, calm and calm, with clear thoughts. When he saw a gap in the airtight net blockage, the entire swing was already executed in one go.
Push flat.
straight line.
The moment the shot is released, the wrapping around the wrist causes the racket head to swing completely, and even with a slight shake, the arc of the return ball is drawn into a boomerang curve.
bass.
The sound of hitting the ball was not solid, pushing the tennis ball through the air.
Uh-huh!
Dimitrov was killed completely by surprise.
Although his body is in front of the net, his focus is on his backhand.
From all aspects, Gao Wen should choose to break through the backhand position on a diagonal. Even if the first shot fails to break the net, he can still use the quality of Dimitrov's volley in front of the net to gain opportunities for subsequent net breaks. This is
A choice that conforms to routines and conventions.
Dimitrov's focus has shifted to his left foot.
However--
straight line.
Gawain lifted the weight as lightly as he did, neither exerting force blindly nor forcibly crossing. With a light and simple straight shot, he realized the advantage created by his early movement, completed the line change with ease, and tore a channel in the line change area on the left side of the court. The tennis ball was like an elf.
He jumped out directly.
Storm, sudden change.
Dimitrov forced the brakes to start, using the racket to support the ground to provide the center of the circle for his turn. Immediately afterwards, his body flew directly out. From taking the initiative in front of the net to being embarrassed and passive, it all happened in a flash of lightning.
There was no time to prepare.
ah!
A roar came from the depths of his dantian, and Dimitrov jumped to the top and flew out.
Soar into the air and rise.
Unfortunately, it was not enough, and it was still not enough. Dimitrov just watched the tennis ball break through his own blockade and push into the depths of the court.
