Chapter 1696 Heart of the Lion King

Chapter 1696 The Heart of the Lion King

"40:40".

The third one was redeemed in such a dramatic way that all the commentators in the commentary box were at a loss for words and didn’t know how to express it accurately. But the only thing that is certain is that no matter which country the commentators are from, no matter which country they are from,

Supporters of any player raised their hands to welcome——

This exciting semi-final is still going on.

Again, back to area one again.

The central court returned to calm in the blink of an eye. Although they were excited, excited, and passionate, they were all looking forward to the wonderful game more than themselves.

Everyone, hold your breath.

a district.

The first serve went down the net. Obviously, this was a flat shot. Federer tried to increase the speed, but unfortunately, the strength of the kick with bent knees was slightly insufficient.

Second round. Air combustion.

The close-up backhand, that is, the middle serve close to the inside corner, is quite satisfactory, but he changed his serving strategy again. Federer once again showed his flexible and changeable combination of serving tactics in this service game, which kept disrupting Gawain's prediction.

Moreover, the extrusion effect is good.

Gawain's backhand hands were not completely out of the way, and some of them were pinned, resulting in the return arc not being suppressed and being slightly higher——

Middle road, deep area.

But unexpectedly, the depth of the landing point of Gao Wen's return shot was quite good, so the rising parabola unexpectedly created some impact and squeezing effects. After landing, it rebounded and rushed towards Federer's cheek, forcing Federer to also have to

Get out of the way and the forehand is not fully stretched.

As a result, Federer also felt a little squeeze on his upper body. While leaning back slightly, he pressed his forehand high and returned to the middle of the shot.

From center to center and back again, the first three shots are always going back and forth in the center of the court. Both players are trying to form suppression through the line. The placement, rotation, power, tail power, etc. become hidden in the shot.

Invisible confrontation, tension quietly builds up between the nets.

Then--

You can see that Gao Wen made a small step adjustment. He stepped forward slightly and pressed his upper body forward. He did not adjust his steps or swing space. He just stood on his backhand position and prepared for the backhand with both hands.

The ball is a transition ball from any angle.

Both players focused on control, testing each other and containing each other. Everyone in the room, including Federer, the commentators, Sampras and Agassi, thought so and were uneasy.

The ground is waiting with anticipation and curiosity, who will be the first to break the balance.

Swing the racket.

Press forward.

At the moment when the shot was taken, Gawain's forearm and wrist flicked quickly. This was an advanced batting action full of skills. Because of the suddenness and the instant, it was very difficult to control, and it almost all depended on the feel of the hand; and

Problems may arise in any aspect of strength, line and placement.

However, Gawain was very determined.

Sudden speed increase.

Backslash.

Without warning, even in the trial and spar stage, he eagerly broke his balance, shot a backhand shot from the middle with both hands, and flicked along the reverse slash.

boom!

The entire shot is clean, fast and flat, with an instant burst and instant release.

Tennis, press the line!

tread.

This is the sound of Federer's footsteps trying to start but failing, and also the sound of the tennis ball bouncing off the ground.

The tennis ball broke the stalemate balance of the transition ball very abruptly. It completed the breakthrough with the quality of the ball. It found the position of Federer's forehand sideline along the backslash. After landing, it threw up a piece of lime and hit the baseline hard before he could even blink.

baffle.

Wow!

The whole place roared, deafening.

"Break point!"

Unexpectedly, never expected, no one expected that Gawain would attack unexpectedly, so resolutely and decisively.

"God, oh dear God, break point!"

From two consecutive games to the break point, so many things happened in Federer's serve-winning game that it was really overwhelming.

However, this is what happened.

The whole audience was shocked.

Perhaps, Gawain was the only exception, there was no cheering or roaring, he just clenched his fists, his resolute eyes shining brightly——

That is high morale and unyielding will.

This is not the first time. From Flushing to Melbourne Park to Roland Garros, Gao Wen has shown his tenacious championship heart more than once.

Even Wimbledon is not the first time. From Istomin to Murray to Federer in front of him, Gao Wen has shown the high spirit and courage to fight to the end time and time again. The heart of the Lion King is so fresh and so...

Beating vigorously, it seems that the century-old history of the All England Club can be felt surging in the soles of the feet, beating and beating together with Gawain's heartbeat.

Fighting spirit is burning.

From the Central Court to Murray Hill and then to all over the world, shocks rippled layer upon layer; from all corners of the country to Murray Mountain and then to the Center Court, roars set off huge waves. The suspense of this semi-final instantly reached a new peak.

The overwhelming pressure poured into the court.

All, resting on the shoulders of the two players.

"40:AD."

Federer is very calm, very, very calm. From the first round in Halle to today, he has faced difficulties more than once, but he saved them all.

Confidence is accumulated bit by bit. Even top players like Federer have ups and downs and doubts. They also need self-affirmation and self-suggestion. If they face break points again and again but recover again and again, then confidence will be able to

Reach a whole new level.

This kind of psychological suggestion eventually evolved into a belief that even if faced with a crisis again, one would not panic.

On the contrary, seeing the break point when he served to win the game made Federer calm down. He was completely calm. He didn't need to think or win for the time being, but was immersed in this point wholeheartedly.

So, as soon as it came out, it came back.

Second District.

First serve, inside corner, sneak attack forehand.

At 124 miles per hour (200 kilometers per hour), it's light and sharp, finding the inside corners with precision.

The next second, Federer realized that the opportunity had come——

Although Gao Wen flew into the air, he barely hit the ball with his forehand at the extreme position, barely touched the ball, and pushed the tennis ball back.

But there was no spin, no power, and no control at all. The return ball flew precariously toward Federer's midpoint, slightly closer to his backhand, and the angle and line could not be widened.

You can tell at a glance that this is Federer's offensive opportunity.

Tread, tap, tap.

Federer moved quickly in small steps and turned sideways——

However, it is not a sideways diagonal line, but a sideways straight line.

Federer rarely chooses the sideways straight line, because the sideways straight line means almost sending the return ball to the opponent's forehand position. Unless he is facing Nadal, sideways and straight to counter Nadal's backhand, otherwise he will sideways and diagonally.

Line is the normal choice.

Of course, there are exceptions. When facing top players like Djokovic and Murray, Federer needs to enrich his return routes to avoid being predicted, and then break the balance of the confrontation. Occasionally, he will choose to go sideways and in a straight line.

At this moment, Federer once again chose a sideways straight line.

Push on the ground, start, exert force——

boom!

Cannonball, out of the barrel.
