On the other side of the net, Tsonga's position had been pushed behind the baseline due to the deep cut in the previous shot. He didn't have time to start again. He watched helplessly as Kirk used a small ball to form the winning point.
The shot selection that subverts the rhythm of the confrontation is really jaw-dropping.
"15:40".
Gawain saved the first break point.
The scene was completely silent, and everyone looked at each other with some confusion:
Is this a wonderful confrontation?
"For this point, Gao Wen's tactical layout was very smart and very light. He did not use force and focused on control. However, he took all Tsonga's responses into account and easily scored without any effort. In such an easy round, in
Gawain and Tsonga haven't seen that in games so far."
"Obviously, Gao Wen is making an attempt, but I don't know what kind of situation such an attempt will lead to next."
"Injury is still an unknown factor. Now Gao Wen still needs to face two consecutive break points in the service game."
Not only the audience, but also the commentators and commentators could not be 100% sure that the situation on the court was changing, and their reaction speed was still a little slower than half a beat.
Especially facing Gao Wen, this young player's golf intelligence and wisdom have been proven countless times.
Now, they all need to wait patiently and observe patiently. No one can predict the trend of this game, but what is certain is that Tsonga is now the upper hand. The severity of Gao Wen's injury is still unknown, and it may even be possible.
It is not impossible for Gawain to turn around and retire in the next point.
Everything is full of suspense.
"15:40".
Second serve.
The impact on the serving process is still very intuitive. Although Gao Wen has changed his serving tactics, his technical movements cannot be coherent, and there are obvious problems with control.
This time the first shot was off the net.
So, one area and two servings.
Outside corners, force reduction, but strong rotation.
He continued to choose to reduce power on the second serve, and the serving speed was only 136 kilometers per hour, which was really audacious; however, Tsonga was in a panic.
First of all, Tsonga didn't expect the ball to be so slow, which was a bit scary.
Secondly, Tsonga had not expected that the spin and bounce would be so strong. After the serve landed, it jumped out along a 45-degree rebound arc.
It was high and spinning, and it landed in a shallow area. When the tennis ball finally came to Tsonga's position, the tennis ball had already risen to the height above the head.
Tsonga's body was completely stretched out, and he couldn't exert any force on his forehand, so he could only push it hard.
This time when receiving the second serve, Tsonga's return quality was not even as good as returning the first serve.
On the opposite side of the court, Gao Wen had been waiting at a diagonal position for a long time, leading the shot with his forehand and stretching his chest. He was about to exert force, but he restrained himself at the moment of release.
One tap, straight line, dead center.
Instead of using force, he focused on control. Gao Wen aimed at Tsonga's backhand and hit the ball in the big triangle on the bottom line, just like basic batting practice.
Accurate to the soul!
Tsonga ran wildly, sprinting from one end of the court to the other end, but the problem was——
Although Gawain's hitting speed is not fast, leaving enough time; Tsonga's movement speed is not fast either, and his footwork is still lacking.
Moreover, the moment Tsonga touched the ball with his backhand, he realized something was wrong.
No power.
Tsonga had no way to use his strength, and at the same time, it was difficult for him to exert force on his backhand due to his fast-moving and awkward posture. As a result...
As soon as the tennis ball hit the string, it bounced back, raising a parabola.
Tsonga had just controlled his pace and turned around to defend. The next second he saw Gao Wen's tall figure guarding the net.
Internet access?
Gawain actually went online!
Facing the incoming ball, Gao Wen stood in front of the net, but did not choose to smash it vigorously. Instead, he lightly touched it with his forehand.
The tennis ball crossed the net lightly, with almost no bounce power. In the blink of an eye, it had jumped twice and then rolled out.
"30:40".
Break point, save one more.
What's even more incredible is that Gawain's entire tactical combination was completely unexpected, light and dexterous, and the entire rhythm of the game was completely disrupted and scattered. The confrontation between you and me could not be maintained at a stalemate and seemed fragmented, but unfortunately,
Gao Wen scored two points in a row and saved two break points.
this……
Tsonga had three consecutive break points, and the last one was left.
In the second area, close to the backhand.
The speed is mediocre, only 173 kilometers per hour.
Because the speed is not fast, the squeezing power of the close serve is greatly reduced, and it can only be completed by rotating. However, Tsonga was fully prepared this time, relying on the retreat of his upper body to get out of position, and broke the inertia with a backhand with both hands.
shoot--
straight line.
A difficult shot.
But Tsonga relied on sheer force to complete the line change. It seemed effortless, and the tennis ball flew back along a straight line.
He.
The whole audience gasped.
Because Tsonga also started to exert his strength, he chose to take the initiative when receiving the serve, and performed very well. He was aiming for an ACE in returning the serve.
Thousands of eyes were attached to the mustard-yellow tennis ball across the entire court, and then they saw Gawain moving in small steps.
It can be seen at a glance that Tsonga's return of serve is pushed very deep. Although it does not press the baseline, it is not far away. It obviously squeezes Gaowen's return space, so that Gaowen's forehand cannot be completed.
He swung his racket and hit a semi-rebound ball, barely pushing the tennis ball back.
Boom! Tsonga's forehand attack.
Boom! Tsonga's backhand attack.
Boom! Tsonga's forehand attack.
Three shots in a row, like a surging river, a continuous attack was unleashed towards Gawain.
Gawain was very, very embarrassed.
Although Gao Wen's footsteps have been moving sideways, showing his superb footwork and excellent defense, he was stunned to defend Tsonga's continuous attacks; but the difference from usual times is that Gao Wen's ability to defend and counterattack is obvious
Being restricted, the range of shot options suddenly shrinks.
The quality of defense is obviously not enough, let alone counterattack.
Defensively, the more defensive you become, the more embarrassed you become. It is only a matter of time before the dike finally breaks. Is Gao Wen just waiting for Tsonga to make mistakes in his offensive skills?
Maybe, once or twice will work, but in the long run, it won't work.
Boom! Tsonga attacks forehand again.
Whether it is a diagonal line or a straight line, the entire offensive line control and tactical layout are all in Tsonga's hands. Tsonga is like fishing, directing Gawain to fly all over the field——
Figures are everywhere.
From a defensive perspective, this is really good-looking, covering the entire field on Hot Wheels; but from a confrontational perspective, Gawain has fallen into absolute passivity.
straight line!
In Tsonga's fourth consecutive attack, he chose a straight line, pressed deep, and impacted. At the same time, along with the net, his strong body directly covered the net.
The double pressure of strength and position rolled down towards Gawain one after another. At this time, it can be seen that Tsonga's concentration has reached its peak. He temporarily forgot about Gawain's injury and focused on the game wholeheartedly.
.
Goal, score this point and realize the break advantage.
The strong wind hunted him, and the overwhelming pressure was released, drowning Gawain in a blink of an eye.
