In the first game, it only took less than two minutes. The referee had already reported the score and announced that Gao Wen had successfully secured his serve. The Bruins fans raised their arms and cheered.
Sofar also made a brief comment immediately.
"Judging from the opening, Gao Wen entered the state very quickly. He served well today. He only had one second serve in the first game, and all the others were first serves. He sent out a strong love-game and successfully maintained his first serve."
Sampras nodded in agreement.
"Yes, it can be seen from the tactical combination that Gao Wen is fully prepared for the game."
"The placement of all four serves was well thought out."
"The main thing is to serve from close range without deliberately widening the angle. Because Gao Wen knows Saramento's prediction and feel, he can often get the serve back, so instead of risking the pursuit of angles, it is better to create traps to lure the enemy deeper.
.”
Sofar agreed very much with Sampras's "trap" statement and kept nodding, but did not interrupt Sampras's comments.
"Serving from close range, squeezing Saramento's return options through changes in rotation, and the first attack that follows can show Gao Wen's layout."
"He has a full understanding of Saramento's regular return routes and is fully prepared in advance. Therefore, the connection of the offense is very fast, and at the same time, the attack placement is also very particular, which further reduces the return space of Saramento.
.”
"Pressure builds up little by little."
"So, Saramento returned the ball once and went out of bounds. Gao Wen scored twice on offense. The four points in the first game were over in the blink of an eye."
According to common sense, the playing styles of Gao Wen and Saramento are not unreasonable. Because of their excellent defense, the games are often close, but the first game was uncharacteristically:
Gao Wen's offense was very sharp and full of firepower; Saramento's defense was dull and misfired, conceding goals continuously.
What's more important than the "love-game" guarantee is that there is no entanglement in every point, and basically all the battles end within three beats.
The third meeting between these two players shows a new look?
"For ordinary viewers, they may think that Saramento has not yet entered the state and is relatively slow to warm up. The mistakes in the first game are understandable, but in my opinion, Gao Wen has already started to lay out the plan from the serving session.
The offensive connection was smooth and neat, forcing Salamento to fail to react in time, and then the mistake occurred."
"Of course, it's only the first game now. There's no need to draw conclusions too early. The hands of both sides haven't fully warmed up yet. We should look at Saramento's serve next."
Sampras's comments have come to an end for the time being. Without Sofar's ridicule or explanation, the audience can already feel Sampras' appreciation for Gawain.
So, is Sampras’ professional judgment correct?
Game, continue.
boom!
Saramento was obviously fully prepared for today's game. The first serve was aimed at Gao Wen's forehand and hit an inside angle. However, the angle was not completely widened, but slightly pressed inward.
When he went in, he didn't serve the ball close to him, but he also squeezed Gawain's position.
reason?
It's very simple. Gawain is tall and powerful. If Saramento's serve widens the angle, but the speed and power are not in place, Gawain will fly out with a kick, and the roc will spread its wings, covering a very wide area. He uses his wrists skillfully.
By leveraging your strength, you can hit very tricky returns.
Therefore, the right choice for Saramento is:
Or, it is to use a large outside angle, completely tear the angle, and break Gawain's body balance.
Or, don't deliberately widen the angle, but squeeze some space for swinging.
After two duels, Gao Wen became more familiar with Saramento. Similarly, Salamento also became more familiar with Gao Wen and made detailed adjustments to his tactics.
Judging from the results, Saramento's serving tactics are somewhat similar to Gao Wen's, but the principles are different and the methods are not exactly the same.
It can be clearly noticed that Saramento's serve is flatter and faster, with less spin and naturally less stamina.
Gawain moved laterally to the right. Although the forehand stroke was not fully stretched, the lifting of the wrist and the swing of the forearm could clearly feel that the power was fuller and more sufficient, and he easily pulled the tennis ball out of the moon.
bridge and flew towards the opposite side of the stadium.
It can be seen from the side that the parabola is not exaggerated, but the rotation is very strong and the forward force is very fierce.
The landing point is very deep.
Although it was not as exaggerated as hitting the baseline, that is, one step away from the baseline, it still left some space for Salamento to hit the ball; but the forward momentum after the rebound was urgent and fierce, heading towards Salamento.
It drilled through Tuo's chest, and the rotation kept destroying Saramento's judgment.
To the audience, Gao Wen's return ball landed in the middle of the court, without breaking the angle or hitting the baseline. It seemed that it was not difficult to return the ball.
However, Saramento was in a bit of a dilemma. He couldn't stretch his legs for a forehand, and he couldn't move his feet for a backhand. This dilemma made him unable to get out of his way; moreover, he hit the ball too well in the middle, and his return should not be
No matter what route you choose, if you rashly cut the angle, you may go out of bounds.
Ambiguous, vague, too many choices.
Tennis is like this. Sometimes, too many choices can be a bad thing, because in a millisecond, the brain needs to make multiple choices, which affects the accuracy of the shot. But if there is no choice, it can make the shot more firm and decisive.
Maybe you can even hit a difficult winning score.
In the blink of an eye, Saramento still wrapped the tennis ball with his soft touch and pushed it towards the deep area of the center——
Copy and paste, throwing the same problem back to Gawain.
However, the problem lies in the stamina!
Saramento clearly felt the power of Gao Wen's return, which was more abundant than the previous two games. It was like a devil's pepper, making people spit fire.
snort!
The moment he hit the ball, Saramento realized that he was being squeezed. The entire touch obviously could not completely wrap the tennis ball, and then the quality of the return ball dropped.
Whoosh.
Seeing the tennis ball flying back smoothly, it was also in the middle, but——
The parabola is high and floating, and it is obvious that the swing failed to suppress the tennis ball, which can be seen as a mark of control failure; moreover, the landing point is too shallow, it should have been pressed near the baseline, compressing Gao Wen's return space, but now it is far away from the baseline
That's two big steps.
The effect is too far off.
Not only was Gawain not pressed, but Gawain's step forward was very timely.
step!
Two steps!
Gao Wen firmly seized the opportunity and immediately entered the baseline when he smelled the opportunity. The connection of the attack was still smooth and smooth. Then he spread his arms like a white crane spreading its wings, making full use of his height advantage and shooting from a high point downwards.
Any full rotation will cause the tennis ball to be hit hard.
boom!
The tennis ball flew in a diagonal line and flew towards Saramento's forehand. From this shot, we can see the improvement of Gawain's strength:
