With a burst of lightning, Gao Wenwen created a white light and shadow, crossing the entire field. Although his speed had been increased to the extreme, he was still very passive——
Attacking with a sideways forehand means that Gao Wen gave up the entire court for his forehand position, but forgot that this was grass. Dimitrov gave up on the ball and chose to cut with his backhand, piercing Gao Wen in a straight line.
defense to turn the situation around.
In the final analysis, it is still a lack of experience in grassland games. During the game, the rapidly changing conditions bring severe tests, and the brain's thinking and layout are far from enough, and some blind spots inevitably appear——
There is no problem during training, and there is no problem when discussing tactics on paper, but actual combat is another matter.
As a result, Gawain fell into passivity.
The only good thing is that the cutting speed is not fast, which still leaves room for maneuver and does not lead to a direct winning score.
Gawain ran all the way.
Step, step, step, the air is burning and the world is turning.
tread!
In the last big step, Gao Wen arrived successfully. Although his steps were already in place, Dimitrov's cutting carried strong backspin, and the height after landing was limited after rebounding, leaving almost no room for Gao Wen to swing.
As a result, Gawain was forced to make one forehand cut.
Just when the ball was about to be released, Gawain quickly scanned the entire field with his peripheral vision to determine the gap, and saw the oppression of a white figure——
Go online.
Dimitrov once again showed his understanding and understanding of the grass. After cutting a straight line with his backhand, there was no pause, and his body followed the cutting action and rushed forward to the net.
While observing Gawain's movements, he adjusted his position.
He went forward in a straight line and kept moving slowly towards the midfield. He exuded the eagerness to press forward and was highly focused.
For Gawain, this is not good news.
alarm!
Returning the ball originally required many tests, and now he also needs to face Dimitrov's pressure in front of the net. So, how should he choose?
In an ever-changing competition, any hesitation may lead to a huge mistake. Gawain has no time to hesitate and is not prepared to look forward and backward.
everything.
Bang!
The racket hit the ground directly, mainly because Dimitrov's return bounced too low and there was almost no room for hitting the ball. Even if the racket hit the ground, the landing point was not enough, and the hitting action was not completed.
Then, the tennis ball rubbed against the string and flew back with violent spin.
Sloping line, high ceiling.
Gao Wen's cutting is very skillful. He controls the parabola through the angle of the racket, half cutting and pushing, half lifting and lifting, to pull up the arc of the tennis ball.
change!
With the wind!
The tennis ball flew unsteadily, like dead leaves drifting in a storm, rising slowly along the diagonal direction and rushing past quickly.
When the tennis ball crosses the net, the height has already passed the shoulder level and is still rising. It does not seem to have reached the highest point.
Wait, judging from the parabola, in order to avoid Dimitrov's volley at the net, Gao Wen's return control seems to be too much, and it is very likely to go directly out of bounds.
However, Dimitrov's compact and agile footsteps still got close to him immediately.
Because he knew that Gawain was very good at controlling the rotation and landing point of the tennis ball. It was very possible to control the landing point of the tennis ball within the bounds due to the sharp fall and violent spin.
If you judge based on common sense, you may often make a big mistake.
Then Dimitrov appeared.
Move, jump.
stretch, extend.
From the line of sight, Dimitrov could be seen jumping directly using the power of his run-up, and he continued to move forward, almost close to the net, trying his best to catch the hitting point before the tennis ball continued to rise; then, a roc spread its wings.
With such movement, the forehand has already touched the tennis ball at the extreme extension.
One touch, one rub.
Dimitrov did not exert all his strength, but used the power of his wrist to gently rub the ball and cut out a diagonal shot that flew parallel to the net.
small ball.
Not only does it stick to the net, but the force is released perfectly, there is almost no bounce after landing, and all the energy has been swallowed up by the grass in the blink of an eye.
That compartment, although Gawain had started it immediately, it was still too late.
Land and jump twice.
Break point, cash in.
Wow!
In an instant, the entire No. 1 stadium was boiling. The collective stood up and applauded, raised their arms and shouted, a raging heat wave hovered over the stadium, and the world was boiling.
After more than ten minutes of entanglement, back and forth between game points and break points, in the end, Gao Wen and Dimitrov dedicated a beautiful offensive and defensive round——
It was not a collision of strength, but a collision of skills and tactics that vividly demonstrated the elegance and elegance of lawn tennis. Dimitrov, who had a better understanding of the characteristics of grass, had the last laugh, successfully seized the opportunity and won the key.
One point, the first break of serve in this game.
Buzz…
There was a roar in the brain, which was subconsciously released through applause and cheers.
Pulan is no exception.
She was very, very sorry; but she still had to admit that Dimitrov performed better in this game, and the last point was absolutely wonderful and worthy of all applause.
On the court, Dimitrov did not cheer and celebrate, but just shook his fist slightly, his eyes were bright, and he conveyed a touch of determination.
Similarly, Gawain was not depressed or disappointed. He was slightly stunned, the smile on his lips rose, and then he applauded Dimitrov's wonderful performance.
During the back and forth, I could briefly feel the healthy competitive atmosphere between the two friends, applaud the opponent's excellence, and at the same time believe that I can fight back with a more outstanding performance.
Then, without further communication, the two players turned around and continued to prepare for the next game.
Pulan thought she would be so nervous that she would suffocate. She thought she would want to run away. After all, she had always been like this when watching the live broadcast at home. But when she was actually at the scene, she had no such idea. The cheers and enthusiasm of the audience made her
It also started to boil, and the fighting spirit began to burn.
So Pulan also stood up, clapped his hands constantly, and praised Dimitrov. At the same time, he also cheered for Gawain.
The game has just begun, hasn't it?
——"2:0".
The start of this round of 16 match was a little surprising but not that surprising. Dimitrov showed his best and most outstanding performance in the opening stage. It was a natural result to break serve and take the lead. In such a way, he showed his
sound:
He came for victory.
Facing Gawain, Dimitrov was high-spirited, more focused, more engaged and more relaxed. His opening performance fully demonstrated his ability.
Immediately afterwards, Dimitrov's serve, excellent serve and smooth attack still showed a very high level. The overall performance was completely coherent. Although he lost a point due to his own offensive error, he still successfully maintained serve——
Gao Wen still failed to find a way to actively attack in Dimitrov's serve. After all, cracking the serve is the primary problem before him. If the quality of the serve is not high, the follow-up layout will be even more impossible.
