Of course, the Big Four have different styles, and each has their own characteristics in handling key balls, but there is no doubt that the connection between offense and defense is what they have in common.
Even if the players have taken the absolute initiative, for the Big Four, with just one shot of the ball, they have the possibility to reverse the offensive and defensive situation.
Therefore, anything is possible before the two jumps back. This is especially true for critical points, because the attention and concentration of the Big Four will increase.
Go all out.
Just like this moment.
passive!
Federer is extremely passive!
At the match point, Gauvin and Federer were in a game of confrontation. It was obvious that Gauvin took the initiative and took the lead in applying pressure, so that Federer had to lift the moon ball.
Generally speaking, the moon ball is almost equivalent to giving up all its advantages to the opponent, standing on the edge of the cliff with half of its feet in the air.
However, the difference between ordinary defense and top defense is that——
In ordinary defense, the moon ball is just the moon ball, and the return itself has no quality at all. At the same time, the players do not make any moves to compensate for the defense, and the opponent can easily smash and score.
For top defense, the moon ball is only a part of returning the ball. First of all, the arc and rotation of the return ball require quality. Secondly, players cannot wait and catch the ball in place, they need to interfere with the opponent.
Although Federer is a player who is good at offense, he is also good at defense. He knows this well and his talented touch is the finishing touch.
One pick and one pick.
Federer's one-handed backhand is superimposed on the moon ball and rotates, and the parabola is pulled up as much as possible——
As a result, the acceleration of gravity pulls the tennis ball down, which may often create a lot of uncertainty; moreover, it forces the opponent to wait patiently for the tennis ball to fall. During the long waiting process, the timing of the ball is prone to deviation.
At the same time, the pace cannot stop.
Cleverly taking advantage of the moon ball's time in the air, Federer has successfully returned to his position to defend. His dazzling footsteps quickly returned to the center of the court. He can defend both forehand and backhand. This creates huge pressure on Gawain's high pressure, which is still invisible.
Subconscious influences.
detail.
During the batting process, these details are often too late to observe carefully, so that the audience often has questions:
Why are some moon balls easily killed by high-pressure balls? But some moon balls can become a weapon and reverse their own passivity.
Everything is hidden in the details. The seemingly simple moon ball is also a technical job.
Gawain has a clear understanding of this.
Therefore, in the face of the incoming ball, Gao Wen has been adjusting his steps and choosing a straight and deep area; at the same time, in order to avoid being too hasty and causing unnecessary high-pressure out-of-bounds errors, a large amount of rotation has been added as insurance.
This high-pressure shot was not intended to score directly, but to further expand the advantage and push Federer into a more passive predicament.
boom!
Then--
Federer did a sideways split and intercepted the ball with a one-handed backhand at the baseline, accurately appearing on Gawain's high-pressure hitting line.
Moreover, Federer still has room to control everything at a glance.
small ball!
Falling over the net!
incredible!
Faced with the impact and pressure of high-pressure balls, Federer once again showed his unparalleled hitting touch.
With this shot, I am afraid that this is the only one in the entire professional tennis world, and there is no other semicolon.
Game!
Counter!
The confrontation of "Gawain VS Federer" permeates every shot, a moon ball, and a high-pressure ball. It looks like an opportunity, but in fact it is a hidden murderous intention. Both players add their own inspiration to the layout and confrontation.
, trying to pull the situation in his favor.
Mutual exchange.
The air is almost burning.
In handling the crisis, Federer also showed his top strength on the defensive end and still found some breathing room under Gawain's aggressive offensive.
The only shortcoming is that Gao Wen's hitting power is very solid, and Federer's unloading force is not completely discharged, so the parabola of the entire return is slightly higher.
Gao Wen continued to step forward in small steps, completely lying in front of the net. He turned sideways and cut the tennis ball back with his forehand.
Oops!
As soon as he touched the ball, Gao Wen realized that Federer's return had a strong spin, and his shot was not wrapped enough, and he also failed to successfully relieve the force.
The collision of force and strength broke the soft wrapping force of the wrist, and then the tennis ball rebounded straight back, drawing a rainbow across the court.
Long term!
In fact, Gao Wen knew that this time he should control the short-term return of the ball and respond with a small ball in front of the net, so that Federer would not be able to keep up.
But the actual situation still exceeded expectations. Federer's return had hidden traps, causing Gawain's return to be out of control, and the arc was a bit outrageous.
It actually flew back toward the deep baseline area.
Swinging around!
swinging!
The tennis ball actually landed on the baseline, and it was also in a straight line. It was almost the same as the high-pressure landing point of the previous shot, at the same position.
Although not as good as expected, such a return also creates different effects——
Due to the superposition of accidents and surprises, this round has been out of the control of Federer and Gawain, and has gone off the track. Now it is up to them to adapt to the situation.
Federer is very embarrassed, very, very, very embarrassed.
He obviously did not expect that Gao Wen's return could produce such an effect. After finishing the previous shot, he quickly returned to his position and stood in the center of the court again, ready to continue defending. As a result, Gao Wen came and made a very surprising move.
The original intention was repeated, and he immediately fell into trouble.
Just after returning to his defensive position, he started for the second time and rushed towards the left again.
From the side to the back, the whole person has turned his back to Gao Wen, with his back to the court. He can't see the hitting line, and even does a big split. There is no longer any calmness. The shaky center of gravity is almost falling, and the upper body has basically
Stay parallel to the court and stretch your arms to the extreme.
A one-handed backhand, hastily and reluctantly intercepting the shot.
No, it's not even an interception, it's just a block.
It's all about intuition.
There was no control, no tactics and no plan at all. In a blink of an eye, the tennis ball had hit Federer's racket. Now he could only rely on inspiration.
It all depends on the feel.
boom.
When the tennis ball hits the racket string, all the reaction force is concentrated on the tennis ball, causing it to bounce back and fly.
Parabola, rushing towards the sky, high, high into the sunlight.
The whole crowd raised their heads.
Even Federer was unsure of the effect of his return. He supported his body with both hands and stood up again on his hands and feet. At this time, he no longer cared about being embarrassed or not, and regained his center of gravity amidst the bumps and chaos.
Then look up and look for the flight path of the tennis ball.
Tennis, where is it?
Gawain raised his head and stared at the tennis ball. He adjusted in small steps and continued to adjust in small steps. However, he found that he was retreating——
Because the parabolic descent curve of Federer's return was very far back, he not only successfully passed the top, but also continued to fly towards the back position.
