In fact, in a real game, you can more or less see whether you are tired or not, but why do you need to hide it?
The difference is: one is to directly show it to the opponent, exposing the trump card; the other is to let the opponent guess, and it is difficult to be 100% sure of the authenticity.
This little difference can often add more variables to the game. The more intense and close the game, the more important this little variable is.
At this time, Gawain was concealing his panting state and quickly adjusting his breathing.
The first point enters anaerobic state. Although both of them consume a lot of energy, because Gao Wen is the one who serves, he may often consume more energy, so he needs to be careful, otherwise he will win the next point easily by taking more shots.
It would be uneconomical to make mistakes and lose points continuously.
call……
Gawain adjusted his breathing rhythm, jumped slightly on the spot twice to relax his calf muscles, and then turned around and walked towards the bottom line.
How should I choose to serve this time?
Pah. Pah. Pah.
Gao Wen was thinking while shooting the ball, then observed Zverev's position and made his choice——
"Game, high."
Two minutes later, Gao Wen scored four straight points and won his first service game with a "love-game".
Zverev was obviously very dissatisfied with his performance. He was talking to himself in German even louder. He was angry at himself, and then at his team in the stands. He always needed to find someone.
A channel for venting anger.
It can be seen that little Zverev wants to win this victory very much, to prove that Gawain is indeed "not worth mentioning" and to prove that he is right.
But precisely because of this urgency, going too far is not enough.
Judging from this competition, we know that Zverev’s state has been fluctuating. Except for the semi-finals, every other game faced many troubles; and after entering the finals, Zverev saw high
On Wen's face, old grudges and new hatreds surged into his heart, and he became obviously more impatient.
The more you try to exert force, the easier it is to miss the best hitting point.
The more you try to suppress, the easier it is to lose your judgment on hitting the ball.
Gao Wen caught Zverev's mentality, coupled with the state fluctuation after anaerobic hitting, he used spin on the serve at the beginning. After the first point, he made three consecutive three-pointers within three beats.
To solve the problem, he scored directly with two serves and attacked with one serve. He won the first game without any difficulties.
What Zverev was really dissatisfied with was that he lost points too quickly and did not form a round at all. But the problem is that Gawain is not a heavy serve, and this is the real reason that made him furious.
It can be seen from here that the first point was stalemate for thirty-three shots before the winner was determined. According to common sense, Gao Wen, who is the serving side, should have consumed more, but the result was the receiving side.
Zverev showed obvious fluctuations, and gave the game to Gawain without a fuss.
This is undoubtedly frustrating.
It is precisely because of this that Zverev lost points too quickly in his own service game. He was unable to adjust his mentality for a long time. His nerves were too tight and affected his hitting feel. In the blink of an eye, he was already facing a break point crisis.
——
In Binghamton, it is not unusual for Zverev to lose serve or even lose a set, but facing Gawain and being in trouble again is another matter.
, it hit him hard on the face like a slap in the face.
Can not accept!
"15:40".
Zverev needs to face the test of two break points, his eyes are focused and his attention is highly concentrated.
Uh! Ah!
Accompanied by shouts of exertion, Zverev Jr. successfully fired an ACE ball with a speed of 196 kilometers per hour, saving the first break point neatly.
Compared to Gawain, Zverev's serve is not a top-notch one, but it is still slightly better and can save the situation at a critical moment.
"ah!"
Zverev's start was not smooth. He finally won a clean point through ACE. He immediately clenched his fists to cheer for himself. The eyes he projected towards Gawain were full of murderous intent. He wanted to eat Gawain's flesh and drink high.
Wen's blood, but seemed to have a lot of dissatisfaction with himself. After looking away, he shouted to himself again.
"ah!"
As if to say, wake up! Sasha! Wake up, show some performance!
Ho ho ho!
Ahhhh!
The audience at the scene also began to cheer and cheer for Zverev, looking forward to seeing a more exciting duel.
"30:40".
Still a break point.
Here, Gawain didn't care at all and was in a calm mood.
Among the "Big Four", Nadal has always performed relatively poorly when facing tall, heavy-handed players. In fact, the main reason is because of his height.
After Nadal's "Nadal spin" is fully released, the bounce height is very awkward for ordinary players at the shoulder position, and they often cannot complete regular returns; but for Del Potro, Isner
For tall players, it is right near the chest, so their hitting point will be more comfortable, and Nadal will naturally be more passive.
But the media reporters simply and crudely attributed it to the serve. After all, Nadal's ability to receive the serve is not that outstanding compared to his other strengths. Then they asked Nadal how he felt when he was unable to do anything in the face of his opponent's powerful serve.
Nadal said that serving is the only aspect that is in the hands of the player. If the opponent can issue an ACE, then he must accept it calmly, and the only thing he can do is to continue to look for opportunities to complete the return, and then wait patiently.
The opponent's serving state fluctuates.
Gawain deeply agreed with this.
Zverev saved the break point with an ACE ball. This is something that does not need to be frustrating, because this is the moment when the opponent performs well. He just needs to calm down and continue to the next point.
Left. Right. Left. Right.
Gawain stood on the baseline and swayed from side to side, maintaining the mobility of his body's center of gravity, like an agile leopard.
Throw the ball. Turn. Hit the ball.
Gao Wen watched Zverev's movements intently. In an instant, he caught the tilt of the racket surface, and then the center of gravity tilted to the left. Then he saw the flight arc of the tennis ball after the serve was completed, and the calf muscles.
When it broke out, the whole person flew out.
Two-handed backhand!
Zverev showed his strong confidence on the second break point. Instead of suppressing Gawain's forehand, he chose a wide outside angle to directly suppress Gawain's backhand. A high-quality first serve indeed has a strong impact.
, jumped out quickly with both strength and speed, turning into a flowing shadow.
Gawain's early start is to buy some time for the lead and swing of the backhand. The knees are like springs, pouring the power of the feet into the body. The slender and well-proportioned muscles are fully stretched, and the racket extends along the arms.
