After the first serve, the white net set off a wave of waves, and the dull sound made Dimitrov's supporters sigh lowly.
"Shh!"
The audience immediately expressed the need to be quiet. No one wanted to disrupt Dimitrov's serving rhythm, not even Gawain's supporters. Such a wonderful and beautiful game should not end with a double fault.
They still want to see a wonderful round.
In the blink of an eye, Court No. 1 became quiet again——
Compared with the other three Grand Slams, the order of on-site viewing is really nothing to say.
The game was not disrupted.
Dimitrov's serving rhythm was also continued, and then the second serve came.
In this game, facing Gawain and encountering a break point for the first time, Dimitrov also realized the importance of the first serve and tried to speed up. Unfortunately, he pressed too hard and went directly to the net. Instead, he had to face a break point.
Let’s focus on the dilemma of the second serve. So, how should we choose the second serve this time?
Should he give it a try and try a second serve to see if he can suppress Gawain?
Dimitrov's character is not like this after all.
But at the same time, he was far from being conservative. He also had ideas and plans for this second serve, and refused to surrender easily at the break point.
Spin, chase.
This time, it was not a close approach, but a pursuit. Dimitrov directly aimed at Gawain's position and served the ball, adding a lot of spin to create pressure.
This is also a very classic tactic in tennis. Once the landing point can be controlled, it will be difficult for the receiving side to get out of the way, and the space for returning the serve will be limited, and the serving side will be able to win the follow-up attack connection.
Opportunity.
——Sure enough, it worked!
In fact, Gao Wen's prediction was very accurate. He believed that Dimitrov would choose a close or chasing serve to limit his return attack. In this way, Dimitrov's offensive connection would be smooth.
No matter what happens, the side that controls the serve still takes the initiative.
However, Dimitrov's landing point was so precise that Gawain moved ahead of time to get out of the way, but still did not get out of the way completely. His swing was blocked, and in the end he was unable to complete his forehand swing.
After finishing it, halfway through, the tennis ball has already flown back and cannot be controlled accurately.
Originally, Gao Wen was planning to turn sideways to hit Dimitrov's backhand with his forehand diagonally, and launch an attack directly; but in the end, he did not turn sideways completely, and the forehand hit could not be completely separated, and even the ball was not connected.
Quality is also affected.
It can be seen from the route and landing point of the return that Dimitrov felt some threats but not too strong. His footwork was still in place. His one-handed backhand was very graceful and light, and his whole chest was completely stretched.
Lift your body forward and strike down with your backhand from a high point.
It moves like a runaway rabbit, as fast as lightning.
Dimitrov did not use all his strength and took advantage of the rhythm. He used a one-handed backhand to directly separate the angle.
Before he could blink, the tennis ball had already returned to Gawain's backhand position, landed in the triangle area near the bottom line, and came towards him.
Gawain, concentrate—
Line, no surprise.
The point is not here, but that since there were no accidents on Dimitrov's route, Gawain wanted to see if the situation could cause trouble.
Step, move, kick.
The whole movement of his feet was smooth and smooth. After a brief experience of being passive in receiving the serve, he started to pay attention to Dimitrov's offensive connection. After realizing that Dimitrov's offensive connection was expected, in a flash, the high
Wen has already completed judgment, decision-making and attack.
There is no pause.
Gawain has a blueprint in his mind. Generally speaking, in order to ensure that the plan can be successful, a step-up squeeze is very necessary to improve the success rate and increase the quality of the ball through compressing the space at the physical level;
But now, the quality of Dimitrov's offensive connection in the second shot is very good, leaving no room for Gawain to take a step forward, which also means that the difficulty has skyrocketed.
However, Gawain is still ready to execute the plan.
His eyes were firm and he was fully focused.
As soon as you step on it, your left leg supports your body, keeping your upper body straight and upright, and with the swinging movement, your upper body leans forward slightly while turning -
Use both hands to backhand and attack.
Whoosh!
With a flick of the wrist, the speed of the racket increases.
Whoosh!
At the moment when the tennis ball hits the racket string, the speed of the wrist increases again. At the same time, the forward pressure of the body and the driving force of the rotation are all twisted into a rope.
"ah!"
With a muffled groan, exert all your strength, and continue to extend the swing after taking the shot, releasing all the energy deep in the Dantian.
"Ahhh!"
Backhand, straight line.
The stunt that Gawain became famous for suddenly appeared and broke through the sky.
Sudden enough, strong enough, appearing in unexpected situations and unexpected moments, breaking the balance with a fighting attitude——
Suppress the positive and defeat the negative.
In these two games, Gao Wen changed his tactics, broke through from Dimitrov's forehand position, and improved the depth of his hitting. The final goal was not to destroy Dimitrov's forehand in a powerful collision.
Instead, after suppressing the attack, Dimitrov's forehand and backhand offensive rhythm was broken.
Destruction is the goal.
Finally, break the balance of confrontation.
Huh!
The whole audience exclaimed. They completely did not expect that Gawain would choose this time to attack, and in a passive situation, he did not continue the routine of strong backhand collision. Instead, he boldly and riskyly chose to change the line, trying to get rid of Dimitrov.
The forehand breakthrough completely subverted people's guesses.
Moreover, his two-handed backhand once again showed his top level. With this shot, even if he faced the Big Four, Gao Wen was still not afraid to face the difficulties.
At this time, the entire No. 1 Stadium was stunned.
A straight line, flying along the left sideline of the court, almost at the level of the sideline, straight and straight.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Dimitrov is very embarrassed, very, very embarrassed.
The pace of the galloping throughout the field was slightly staggering, and the speed was increased to the extreme and the speed was majestic across the field, but even so, it still seemed to be a little slower.
So, score directly?
Just when everyone thought that Dimitrov could no longer touch the ball, they saw Dimitrov doing a split and sending his body directly out. His forehand was at the lowest point of the tennis ball:
Cut everything in one fell swoop.
There are no conventional technical movements at all, it is purely physical instinct, relying on forehand cutting, and barely pushing the tennis ball back before it jumps twice.
...slash?
No, straight line.
Judging from any situation, Dimitrov, who was pushing to the extreme, should have cut the diagonal line because he had no space. But at this time, in an extremely difficult and extremely dangerous situation, Dimitrov made a slight breakthrough.
Routine, with excellent feel and control, cut a straight line.
Shocking!
Turn defense into offense!
Unexpected, unexpected, really unexpected, completely unexpected, so shocked and unexpected that all the noise in the entire No. 1 stadium was cut off, and there was silence and I held my breath.
On that side, Gawain had already started to defend his forehand. It took him half a beat to realize Dimitrov's breaking routine. Time seemed to have slowed down ten times or a hundred times, and it was clearly reflected in his pupils.
