Gao Wen groaned. Because of his misjudgment, he thought Federer would choose to get close, but this time, Federer was bold on the second serve.
In the back and forth, although Gawain's conditioned reflex was very fast and started immediately, the timing of his shot was still lacking. The power of kicking on the ground burst out from the depths of his Dantian. With a muffled sound, he barely managed to backhand with both hands.
With a slap from the side, the tennis ball flew out.
Middle road.
Deep area.
Gao Wen tried to return the ball as deep as possible to create pressure, but judging from the flight trajectory, it was slightly insufficient and the pressure was limited. The alarm immediately sounded.
With one step, one kick, and two starts, the body's center of gravity has already rushed to the right. There is no hesitation or hesitation. The concentration is highly concentrated. From starting to moving to speeding up, all in one go, the body turns into an afterimage.
, vigorously stirring the eyes full of emerald green.
Cover the forehand.
Of course, Federer still has the initiative. He can choose the return route, left, right, center, or even small balls, etc. Although it is difficult, with Federer's ability and touch, everything is not difficult and everything is possible.
This also means that Gawain must gamble once.
This is not the first confrontation between Gawain and Federer. Federer also has some routines when it comes to critical scores at critical moments, and this is one of them in front of him.
According to the routine, on the next shot, Federer should quickly swing the skateboard diagonal with his forehand, aim at the dead corner of Gawain's forehand baseline, and then follow the ball to the net.
In the flash of lightning, Gawain no longer has time to think carefully and hesitate. He must gamble and trust his intuition.
So, the body rushed out immediately.
Then--
coming!
Forehand slash, bottom line blind spot, skateboard flick.
Federer did not use force blindly, but skillfully used his wrist to flick and use the force to create a fast-paced and low-bouncing classic lawn tennis.
Next, go online.
The entire step sequence is seamless, elegant and calm, and truly pleasing to the eye.
But at this time, Gawain did not have time to appreciate it. Although his prediction was accurate, the crisis was still not resolved, and he was still the passive party.
With a kick of his left leg, he took a big step, and his body rushed out. But at the same time, his right leg controlled his gliding position like a brake. With the inertia of the forward thrust, his right hand used the drive of his forearm and upper body to quickly swing around.
Lifting the ball, the tennis ball flies with strong topspin and high speed.
bass!
The right leg braked suddenly, and the body's center of gravity jolted violently, but there was no time to adjust slowly. Both legs stepped on the bicycle, one after the other, one after the other, and continued to push the ground. The raging reaction force pulled the body to stagger.
To return to balance, pull and move laterally to the left back to the midpoint.
Back to defense!
Passive. Passive. Completely passive.
The entire court is open in every corner, and the door is wide open. Federer can attack any point at will, and his defense is completely passive.
However, Gawain had no time to worry about this for the time being. He was absolutely focused and stared at Federer intently. He carefully felt the power coming from the ground with his footsteps. The surge and rolling of Hot Wheels made the whole world turn upside down, and thunder exploded.
Just start it again.
A sudden stop and a sudden turn, a 90-degree sharp turn, the forward route changes from left and right horizontally to front and rear longitudinal, and it is necessary to continue to turn left——
Small ball. Forehand.
Federer waited in front of the net early and accurately caught Gawain's diagonal forehand to break the net and return the ball. He used his forehand to hit the diagonal ball.
but!
The moment Federer touched the ball, he immediately realized that there was a hidden mystery in Gawain's return. This forehand shot crossed diagonally and superimposed strong topspin to cause damage. Federer had already realized in advance that he gave up the long return return to avoid losing control.
The return ball is reduced to fish meat, but the short ball has not completely offset the spin, so that the return ball parabola is slightly higher.
Ever changing!
On one side, Gawain was riding a hot wheel, drifting and turning in pursuit at full speed.
On one side, Federer adjusted his center of gravity and returned to the center of the court to wait.
The gazes collide in the air, and you can feel the tension and tightness between the flashes of lightning, planning, gaming, prediction, suppression, and confrontation.
Gawain is predicting the direction of Federer's block, and Federer is judging the direction of Gawain's break. The excitement of the showdown in front of the net reaches its peak.
The next second.
Gawain moved first, sending his body out with a split and fully extending his forehand.
Federer followed closely behind, bouncing his feet in place and then moving towards the backhand position, guessing that Gawain would choose a straight and weak line.
really!
Gawain used the strength of his wrist to gently rub and pick out a straight line.
But then he saw Federer's figure burst into the field of vision like lightning, squeezing his sight arrogantly and forcefully, crossing -
Oops!
Gao Wen immediately realized that he had seen through Federer's tactical routine, and Federer had also seen through his own routine, and the balance was still not broken.
Defend. Defend, defend, defend.
This was the only thought in Gawain's mind, but as soon as he stood up, he suddenly stopped and turned, and the continuous changes of sudden turns and stops lost the friction, and he fell down as soon as the sole of his foot slipped, and his center of gravity suddenly collapsed.
Damn it.
Before he could curse, Gawain saw Federer flicking his one-handed backhand, and the return ball rushed towards the gap in his backhand position. However, the diagonal line was not completely opened, and the general passed his position.
Well.
With a groan, Gao Wen relied on his abdominal core strength to control his upper body to lean back and get out of the way. He raised the racket above his head and blocked it on the upper left side of his shoulder.
boom!
Buzz buzz——
The violent shaking of the racket was transmitted to his wrist, and Gao Wen couldn't even believe that he had finished touching the ball, but then he saw the tennis ball fly back again.
Back inside Federer's court.
But Federer has lost his position.
The entire audience just watched the tennis ball fall to the ground, bounce back, and land again.
Until the calm and steady voice of the referee came.
"Deuce."
boom!
Center Court exploded, completely exploded——
incredible!
incredible!
From serving to the bottom line to the net, from routines to games to confrontations, the collision between you and me is absolutely fatal. When almost everyone thought that Federer was about to win, Gao Wen added it with an unparalleled performance.
A little bit of incredible luck turned the tables.
Pulan stood up, without cheering, shouting, or crying, just applauding, applauding quietly and focused, pouring all the energy into his hands that clap hard, all the stormy waves, all the passion, vented out without reservation——
This moment is so wonderful that all language loses its color.
This is competitive sports. Never give up and challenge the limits. Those excitements and splendors have long surpassed victory or defeat and detonated the brain.
On the court, Gawain did not celebrate. His eyes showed surprise and surprise. Then he looked at Federer, who was also stunned, smiled, and raised his hand to express his apology.
"Luck, man, it's just luck, I'm sorry. It seems that we still have to continue to fight in this game."
There is no celebration or catharsis, but a tribute.
