Tsonga's eyes were raised high, staring intently at the tennis ball, which was high and floating, penetrated into the sunlight, and was slightly blurred in the golden color.
At this time, professionals can see that Tsonga's overall style is a bit rough. When the pressure is high in front of the net, he does not continuously adjust his position in small steps to find the best hitting position and point.
If you are an average player, it is easy to make mistakes with such high-pressure shots. Especially in tennis, due to the acceleration of gravity, it is difficult to grasp the timing of the shot. If you do not adjust your steps, it will be difficult to find the hitting point; but Tsonga's high-pressure in front of the net is pretty good.
This problem doesn't happen often.
Firstly, Tsonga has good skills in front of the net; secondly, he suppresses the opponent with absolute strength.
Some talents can indeed make up for laziness and shortcomings in technology.
Tsonga was so angry that he was sure of winning. He was staring at the falling tennis ball. He could already foresee in his mind the scene of winning this point. That meant that he got the game point and how to arrange the next point was up to him.
The most important thing is that he needs to firmly grasp the offensive initiative in his hands.
The tennis ball is falling rapidly, faster and faster, faster and faster.
Tsonga fully stretched his body and swung the racket diagonally above his head in front of the net. Before he could release his arm strength, he realized something was wrong.
Oops!
The falling speed of the tennis ball was actually slightly slower than expected, which meant that Tsonga swung the racket too early.
The hitting point is ahead of schedule.
what to do?
Pause? Stop shooting a little?
No, no, this is not a game console. You can pause and adjust parameters. The entire action must be done in one go.
In fact, the brief moment when an idea pops up in my mind, there is no room for reaction or adjustment, and the hitting action has already rushed out.
Damn it!
Perhaps the only thing Tsonga can do is to push harder, push harder, push harder, use the absolute suppression of power to complete the high pressure and forcefully block shots.
"Uh-huh!"
A powerful roar erupted from the depths of his Dantian, and his swing movements were fully depressed.
But Tsonga neglected one thing. Using force often also means increasing the speed. Although it is not much, the swing does speed up slightly with the expansion and release of power. A mere millisecond change can subvert the bat once again.
Ball point accuracy.
The huge waves just poured down.
boom!
The racket string collided with the tennis ball, but missed the sweet spot and even grabbed a beat, so that the upper part of the racket directly hit the tennis ball.
After a long pause, the tennis ball flew out in an incredible trajectory——
Not down, but forward, even up, keeping a parallel trajectory with the court ground, like a parallel line, slowly jumping up.
Huh!
The whole audience exclaimed in surprise.
At this time, you can see that all the audience's jaws are raised, watching in wonderment the arc of the tennis ball rising up and flying towards the audience stands.
It flew away. Tsonga's high-pressure shot actually flew away!
Actually!
Buzz... buzz buzz...
There was a roar in the ears, and no one even knew how to speak. The rustling sighs and astonishment were intertwined and surging.
Even those in the commentary booth were no exception. One or two people raised their foreheads one after another, unable to believe their eyes——
It really shouldn't be a mistake like this in a crucial game or a crucial point.
But if you think about it carefully, this is already Tsonga's third active error in this game. What does this mean?
Is it just because of the pressure of this round?
No, that's not the case.
In the previous four service games, Gao Wen showed a turnaround performance in the difficult situation of fighting with injuries, which impacted Tsonga's confidence again and again. Gao Wen, who had narrowly escaped death, finally found his rhythm, and after a strong hold on serve, he pushed the pressure to
Tsonga.
Everything has actually been foreshadowed a long time ago.
For the fans, what they saw was Tsonga's mistake at "40:40" that gave him the second break point and the second; but for the audience who actually watched the whole game,
What they saw was the game and entanglement between two players under extreme difficulties.
Mistakes are also traceable.
"40:AD".
the second--
Perhaps, this will become a fatal turning point in this duel?
In fact, while the entire audience was stunned and agitated, the two players on the court were actually very calm.
Tsonga hopes to calm down and not dwell on this terrible mistake. He needs to stay focused and continue to focus on the next point.
Gawain hopes to remain stable and avoid taking chances, because he knows that rather than placing hope on mistakes, he should still believe in himself.
Tsonga is facing another test. After failing to face a deuce test in six consecutive service games, he now needs to face the dilemma of the second break point.
Since Gao Wen was injured, the entire game situation has been full of weirdness. Now, no one can predict the next direction.
call.
Tsonga exhaled a long breath and regained his composure.
Second District.
So, outside corner of Zone 2?
Although old-fashioned, it also means classic and often works.
One shot.
Throw the ball, kick the ball, swing the racket.
Tsonga's serving movement is simple and rough, full of power, and you can even clearly hear the sound of the tennis ball being hit hard, almost exploding.
Snapped.
boom.
--J.
Hey, the whole audience exclaimed.
Unexpectedly, I got off the Internet.
There was also a clear sense of suffocation in the commentary booth.
"Not a single shot."
"The pressure is rising little by little."
"Including Tsonga, we all know that Gawain's energy is not only about tennis, but also about psychology."
"His tenacity, his tenacity, his focus and his fighting spirit, Gao Wen has proven his big heart through one game after another. Even if he confronts the Spanish God of War Nadal, he is no less than that. That will
It is a powerful weapon at any time."
"Now, Gawain drags half of his body and attacks with residual health, but he still fights with Tsonga to the end, so the situation is different."
"Gawain, there is also a chance."
"Literally."
In fact, in this game, Tsonga's serving performance has always been good, but now it seems that the shocking mistake just now will inevitably bring some waves.
At this point, Tsonga was inevitably a little lucky, hoping that his serve would score directly, so he pressed down too hard.
As a result, it didn’t go through the network.
"The second shot on the second one..."
The narrator's voice was also a little tight, but he involuntarily softened it. There were no unnecessary words. He stopped at the point, but left a lingering aftertaste.
Because they all know that Gawain will not miss such an opportunity.
Originally, this was when Tsonga should have taken control of the situation, but he unknowingly fell into Gawain's rhythm.
So, how will Gawain plan it?
There was a billowing heat wave in the air, and the whole audience held their breath.
Second serve.
For reference, the first serve is indeed a classic strategy of choosing the outer corner of the second zone, but it no longer counts, and the tactics of the second serve need to be completely re-arranged.
The atmosphere slowly, slowly became tense, and the unknown suspense was boiling like never before.
Second shot, outside corner.
Still the outer corner.
Moreover, Tsonga showed no mercy and served hard again.
