This is Tsonga's signature tennis ball, thick, heavy, and explosive, just like Muhammad Ali, with punches that hit the flesh and deadly moves.
No one wants to stand up to Tsonga's punches head-on.
In the fight, Tsonga showed off his best condition and most familiar routines, punched twice in succession, and ended the fight with one blow.
"40:40".
The first one was successfully recovered.
To be honest, Gawain didn't have any chance. Even when he was in the best condition, facing Tsonga with full firepower, it would be difficult to open up the situation, let alone his current incomplete state?
The whole audience burst into applause.
This game was completely different from what they imagined, with ups and downs, twists and turns, and a lot of fragmented and boring lengthy torture. However, it ushered in a new situation at the end of the game. Such a roller coaster-like experience amazed the audience.
The two became excited.
"ah!"
Tsonga also roared, an indescribable feeling of depression and frustration stirring in his chest——
He needs this kind of score and this kind of catharsis.
From the confusion and confusion of consecutively missing break points to the anger and depression of facing break points, the high and low emotions also brought unimaginable pressure. After a brief release, Tsonga regained his concentration. He knew,
I need to improve my condition and end this game as soon as possible.
"Suppression", this is the only thought in Tsonga's mind, and it is also the method of competition he is most familiar with.
a district.
So, getting close again?
really!
For the second consecutive serve, Tsonga chose to squeeze close. This time, he adjusted it slightly and moved closer to the inside corner, that is, squeezing his backhand.
Gao Wen was not surprised, the whole reaction was very timely, but Tsonga's first serve was heavy and heavy, and the serve with a speed of 199 kilometers per hour still brought a huge impact, successfully squeezing Gao Wen; coupled with Gao Wen's backhand position
His swing was obviously restricted, and the quality of his return was still not good.
The return ball is a parabola, slightly raised, with average speed and power. It is basically an offensive opportunity sent to the goal.
Tsonga is definitely not to be missed.
But in this return, Gao Wen's swing controlled the line in the middle, barely leaving some problems for Tsonga's offense. Once Tsonga tries to open up the angle, he may need to take some risks.
Tread, step.
Gawain kept his steps light and tiptoeing, his eyes locked on Tsonga——
Slash? Backslash? Center?
How will Tsonga choose his offensive line?
Thoughts briefly flashed through his mind, and then Gawain kicked his left foot, and his body rushed out towards the backhand position.
He needs to gamble, otherwise he will fall into passivity. Similar situations have occurred too many times in the third set. His defensive quality and space for defensive counterattacks are now limited, so he must rely on prediction and layout to restore some gaps.
, can barely maintain balance.
The body jumped out directly.
The next second, "guessed it right!"
Tsonga launched the attack directly with his forehand, shot a backslash, aimed at Gawain's backhand, and attacked with all his strength.
The angle was not completely torn apart, which also gave Gawain a chance.
Anticipating and moving in advance, coupled with the fact that Tsonga did not pursue the ultimate goal with the ball and did not make full use of the court space, Gawain's footsteps were in time and he was even able to trigger the shot in advance, and his body had already taken the initiative to meet it.
One tip, use your strength to fight.
At this moment, you can faintly see the courage of Gawain in his peak state. Relying on the rapid movement of his forearm and wrist, the speed of the racket head increased directly.
straight line.
Backhand straight line.
Gawain's famous stunt appeared again. Although due to physical limitations, Gawain had to make a series of preparations in advance before he dared to change the line. However, this change of line was indeed premeditated. He found a gap in the predicament, and then——
Defensive counterattack.
boom.
Tennis jumped out immediately.
Tsonga, a little unexpected and a little hasty, obviously did not expect it. After all, it has been a long time since Gao Wen's hitting line has appeared.
But Tsonga's conditioned reflex was very fast, and he was already in place smoothly with two long strides. His forehand did not avoid or dodge, but faced him head-on like Thor's hammer.
"Strength vs Power".
boom.
The sound of the tennis ball hitting the racket string exploded in the air, and you could clearly see the pieces of felt flying around, and the tennis ball was almost exploded.
boom.
Take out and fire.
Tsonga's return ball went out along a diagonal line, a classic "inside-out". It found a pressing point near the sideline of Gawain's forehand position, and after landing, it jumped directly towards the doubles area.
This classic diagonal line pulled Gawain's steps forward, and he sprinted towards the right with all his strength.
Running, kicking, sprinting, the force of the collision between the footsteps and the ground made all the internal organs begin to tumble. At the same time, Gawain noticed a figure covering him.
Tsonga, online.
After the collision between strength and strength, Tsonga immediately realized that his strength had completely suppressed Gawain, and the next step was to take advantage of the situation and press the Internet.
This is also Tsonga's classic tactical routine. At the critical moment, it's time to see the truth.
Pressure, pressure, pressure, surged towards Gawain in layers. It seemed that the whole world was boiling. The light and shadow were blurred, and only the scalding heat waves and the noisy noise were burning on the surface of the skin.
Gawain's speed has increased to the extreme, but the speed of Tsonga's powerful shot is too fast. Even if Gawain's steps are barely in place, there is still no room to swing the racket. In the end, he is forced to have no choice but to use his forehand.
Pushing and blocking are average.
Not to mention exerting force, there is not even enough room to swing the racket with the force.
The tennis ball jumped back, but it had no power, no spin and no line. It was basically equivalent to a vegetable ball that fell into the tiger's mouth.
In front of the net, Tsonga was on full alert and kept up with his steps very promptly.
One pounces forward, one blocks a shot, and one presses down.
The forehand smash in front of the net was very timely, leaving no breathing space, and the tennis ball returned to the court on the Gowan side.
slash.
Repeat the route and return the ball.
The only shortcoming is that Tsonga was too anxious and wanted to exert force, so he did not change the route, trying to shorten Gawain's reaction time but also shortening his own layout and adjustment time.
So, before he could even blink, the tennis ball returned to Gawain's hand again.
Literally at hand.
Before Gawain had time to adjust his center of gravity, he pulled back his steps and was already hit head-on with his forehand——
One tick.
This is a subconscious movement, relying on the forearm as support and a hook of the wrist.
In the blink of an eye, the tennis ball flew back, raising a high parabola, high and floating, trying to create an overhead lob to tear a path.
All eyes in the audience were raised high, watching the tennis ball disappear into the sun.
Tsonga's steps were retreating, still retreating, adjusting as he retreated, and then stopped.
Caught!
Gao Wen's control in the rush was still slightly insufficient, and he was unable to go over the top and was stopped by Tsonga near the bottom line of the service line.
Tsonga, take off, swing the racket, press down, prepare to complete a high-pressure smash, aiming for the winning point.
