Backhand in a straight line, using offense instead of defense. With just one stroke of the ball, Gao Wen had already reversed the situation and regained some advantage.
However, Wawrinka still cannot be underestimated. He has made advance predictions and moved in advance, further pushing the tension of the confrontation to a new extreme.
Sure enough! Wawrinka's prediction was accurate. As Gawain became familiar with Wawrinka's hitting line, Wawrinka also had an interpretation of Gawain's hitting habits.
Seeing Gao Wen's movements as he stepped forward to the bottom line to grab the ascending point, Wawrinka realized that Gao Wen was preparing to take the lead in changing the line to break the balance.
Tread, tap, tap.
Wawrinka was burning, his speed had increased to the extreme, and he had already arrived in a blink of an eye, but his movement speed was still a little lacking, and his steps were about half a step shorter.
what to do?
Sliding?
No, Wawrinka is still Wawrinka. He refuses to slide and defend passively at this time. Instead, he kicks his feet, takes off in the air, and leaps into the air.
jump.
fly.
The volley was shot in the air, and the forehand was like whipping a whip, and the hammer was struck from top to bottom with the power of thunder. He bought time and created space through the jumping action, and beat towards the dead end in a straight line.
Wait, straight line?
shock!
Gawain was startled, and just as he started moving towards the right, he suddenly braked, stopped and turned, turned around and swooped down, like a scorpion wagging its tail.
ah.
Faced with Wawrinka's shot, Gawain's attention was completely focused. This time the shot was heavy and rushing, powerful and heavy, and it was also a top-down underground spin ball that almost hit Gawain after landing.
Come over the knee position.
Bad, bad, bad.
Usually when faced with such an incoming ball, the best way is to retreat to give enough space, wait for the tennis ball to rebound to a suitable height, and then complete the hit.
But it was too late for Gawain to retreat now.
Gawain's brain was very clear and he responded immediately.
Bend your knees, squat down, and completely lower your center of gravity.
The two-handed backhand creates a wall-hitting effect, knocking the tennis ball back like a rebound ball, and relying on the power of the wrist to complete a push.
A flick.
The tennis ball has already drawn a high arc and flew diagonally.
Thrilling.
Across the entire field.
The only pity is that Gao Wen did not control the space, so the force and speed of the return ball were very ordinary, and it swayed across the entire field.
Gawain clearly knew that Wawrinka still had the possibility of subsequent hits, so he did not hesitate in his steps——
One kick.
Damn it! The knees really have no strength, I can’t push off the ground, it’s hard to grasp enough reaction force, and the entire reaction connection naturally slows down.
One punch!
Both legs seemed to be filled with lead, and the two calves were like noodles. The feeling of moving deeper and shallower was not too sore.
Small steps, continuous small steps.
With full concentration, Gawain returned to the center of the court, keeping his feet mobile and staring at Wawrinka intently.
Wawrinka's footwork is once again slightly lacking, and his movement problems are only half as good as Gawain's, and may even be worse.
But Wawrinka's upper body strength is very good. Even if his feet cannot help, he can still use the strength of his upper body to complete unreasonable attacks.
Just like it is now.
He didn't have enough steps, so he relied on the extension of his body to reach the ball. However, even if he could reach the ball, his one-handed backhand could still fly along the sideline in a straight line.
A man of great skill is bold.
Not only choose a straight line, but also hit the ball directly at the corners.
On the third match point, Wawrinka showed unparalleled courage and determination from the moment he served.
On the opposite side of the net, Gao Wen immediately ran towards the right side, but his lack of force on the ground caused his feet to feel like they were walking on a trampoline.
No, Gawain immediately realized that his movement might be a little lacking——
There should be no problem in rushing to complete the shot, but there is no threat from the transition ball, which is basically giving up the offensive opportunity to Wawrinka.
With one rush and one push, Gao Wen completed the sprint and took off like a triple jump. His forehand extended along with the inertia of the run-up, and he hit with a big windmill.
boom!
Got it!
Gawain grabbed the correct hitting point, controlled the line with the flick of his wrist, and hit the tennis ball back in a straight line again.
Huh!
The whole audience was stunned——
The two players, Gao Wen and Wawrinka, not only launched the attack with full firepower, but also targeted every corner with extremely difficult offensive shots. Their bold and courageous attacks directly took away the breath.
The most important thing is, everything is within bounds!
Limit! Limit! Limit above the limit, limit beyond the limit. Both players are constantly challenging themselves.
Moreover, this is the final set! This is the match point moment after five hours!
The wonderful strong-power duel calmed down all the commotion in the audience. The collision between strong and strong caused the balance to never be broken. Either side had a slight advantage but then could feel the opponent's strong counterattack. You came and I went back and forth, and the bayonet saw red.
The battle stretched the rubber band to the extreme.
It is in danger and may break at any time. However, the intensity of the confrontation between the two players is still rising, rising, breaking away from the shackles of the layers.
The brain was completely shut down, not to mention the Philippe-Chatier Stadium, even the audience in front of the TV had forgotten to breathe at this moment.
The straight ball back from Gawain's repeated landing point once again broke Wawrinka's balance.
Wawrinka, who had already returned to guard the forehand position, suddenly stopped and turned around to return. It can be clearly seen that Wawrinka also lacked strength on the ground, so that his steps slipped a little, which also caused his steps to fall further behind.
Fall on your feet. Fall on your feet.
Wawrinka took small steps to adjust his body several times in a row, barely controlling his body, but he was still unsteady, like a bull on skates.
However, Wawrinka could no longer care about it and was concentrating on the tennis ball.
With his left leg, he stepped hard on the ground, and he could even clearly see the dusty billows of air, which was comparable to an angry elephant, forcibly controlling his body.
The reaction of stepping on the ground spiraled up from the soles of the feet like an electric current, the body turned and struck, and the one-handed backhand was thrown out.
But it's still not over. Wawrinka's entire chest is fully opened, and he continues to swing clockwise in the direction of rotation. His hands are stretched to the extreme like a roc's wings. The hot sweat is pulled by the centrifugal force and flies all over the sky. Colorful
The halo exploded simultaneously and ignited the entire audience.
ah!
Ahhhh!
Wawrinka had completely roared, and the tennis ball was almost broken.
Ahhhh!
The heavy sword is coming.
Thunder.
——A slash that penetrates the court.
His scalp was numb, his whole body was shaking, and at his limit, Wawrinka once again made a breakthrough. He completely gave up on defense and launched a powerful counterattack with offense. His incredible shots and unparalleled execution blossomed on the clay soil of Roland Garros.
The light vividly demonstrates the variability and tenacity of red clay.
Tennis, like a storm, sweeps across the field with great force and force, pushing the limits of power and speed to a new level again.
However, on the opposite side of the court, the blue figure like a strong wind was still crossing the court.
Run, sprint...concentrate and burn with all your heart.
