Zverev's forehand was fully exerted, and his heavy and fast hit shot across the court like an arrow, rushing towards Gawain's forehand.
On the opposite side of the court, Gawain's steps were already in place smoothly, but unexpectedly he did not choose to hit, but instead cut in a straight line with one shot, breaking the balance.
The tennis ball was fluttering and swaying, just like the autumn wind wrapped with dead leaves falling in the shivering cold rain. It had no power at all; and it was not a small ball. It could be seen from the line and landing point that the ball hit the ball.
The ball should land near the baseline triangle, which is a deep shot.
There is absolutely no threat to this kind of cutting.
Zverev's movements remained light and nimble. He rushed over immediately, bent his knees, lowered his center of gravity, and moved forward with a backhand with both hands.
boom!
Use your strength, or use your strength, and use your full strength.
A proactive diagonal attack, aiming at Gao Wen's backhand bottom line triangle hit, and after a back-and-forth round of sixteen shots, he was ready to kill, and won the point in a winning way.
"30:15".
In the next shot, Gao Wen's footsteps were still in the backhand position. He took a slight step forward, just half a step, but raised the hitting point to a higher level. He grabbed the rising point of the shot and relied on the rapid swing of his backhand with both hands to hit the ball.
The speed of the racket head is fully accelerated, fast and heavy, and the attack is fully launched.
In the second area, sneak attack on the inside corner, Zverev used his high-quality serve to successfully seize the opportunity and create offensive opportunities for himself.
Zverev's response was very good. He bent his knees, squatted with his center of gravity, and carried out two consecutive backhand pulls. Not only did he perfectly handle the backspin ball, but he also controlled the landing point of the return ball and continued to press it deep. Even without counterattack,
He always maintained his impact and did not give Gawain a chance to attack.
Not only does he need revenge, but he also needs to prove himself.
Unexpectedly but reasonably, the next point became the best and most exciting point since the start of the game. The transition between offense and defense was amazing.
Indeed, Zverev used his placement and rotation to limit Gawain's offensive space, but he forgot one thing. This game was arranged by Gawain. Even if the placement was deep enough, there was a lack of changes, which meant that
It's still within Gawain's calculations, and some adjustments in steps can solve the problem.
——Seventh game.
He was like a lone hero against the whole world, but this time, neither Arthur Ashe Stadium nor fate seemed to be on his side.
The final result is indeed out of bounds.
Backhand straight line.
Although little Zverev's response deserves applause, it still lacks some bright spots and new ideas, and he eventually fell into Gawain's trap.
Thirty beats.
But Zverev challenged the Hawkeye three times in two games, and each time he went out of bounds more obviously.
Zverev also didn't understand why the fans booed because it was his right to challenge Hawkeye, but he was still firm in his choice.
Like a yang finger, it penetrates the entire stadium.
There was a hint of irritation and confusion in Zverev's eyes. He subconsciously looked up at the players' box, as if he was hesitating whether to challenge with Hawkeye.
At the critical moment, little Zverev finally showed his talent, especially his backhand position, which can carry, push, hit and pump. No wonder many professionals compare his backhand with Djokovic.
His stability and aggressiveness in baseline confrontations are truly outstanding.
Irritated!
"Out of bounds"!
It went out of bounds again. Although this time the out of bounds was very weak, just the width of a finger, the bottom line referee's eyes revealed a touch of determination.
However--
Take a deep breath.
Zverev was a little depressed. He obviously scored well in the first two points, but why was the continuous momentum of scoring interrupted again? This time it was off the net?
straight line.
The whole audience erupted in boos, and the sound of roaring and tsunami mixed with whistles and complaints boiled up in a mighty manner.
At this time, little Zverev showed his tenacity in an extremely passive state. After being in a stalemate for thirty-six beats, he was still moving very fast.
Twenty beats.
Five beats.
You come and go, tit for tat.
Little Zverev was extremely depressed.
The first one to change the line and launch the attack was still Gawain.
Snapped.
Gao Wen unexpectedly made two cuts on the backhand position, using strong backspin to change the rhythm of the confrontation.
Very, very rarely, on Arthur Ashe, a fast hard court, two players forced a round on the clay court.
Arthur Ashe Stadium was filled with exclamations.
However, Zverev's offense was never crisp enough, giving Gao Wen a chance to breathe. After withstanding the first two attacks, he hit a backhand diagonal "inside-out" shot across the court, instantly turning the situation around.
, turning defense into offense, pushing Zverev to the brink of crisis.
The Arthur Ashe Stadium was filled with boos, complaining about Zverev's distrust of referees in this way, and also complaining about Zverev's lack of understanding of his own hitting.
Although the gap was small, out of bounds was out of bounds. Zverev failed all three Hawk Eye challenges within two games, which also meant that he had no chance to challenge in the first set.
Eagle Eye Challenge——
Are you sure this isn't a deliberate attempt to vent your anger and cause trouble?
For the audience, this is definitely not a good thing, and one or two people started to boo and complain.
With a muffled sound, Zverev's return ball hit the net, creating a white wave and sending the point down the net.
Then--
Immediately afterwards, little Zverev was pushed to the edge of the cliff again, but he still did not give up——
Look, Gawain not only did not retreat, but also stepped forward to break the balance by grabbing the ascending point.
"2:4".
Ten beats.
In his chest, he could feel the mixed and turbulent emotions boiling. It seemed that he was on the verge of breaking out and could cause a lot of chaos at any time; but little Zverev finally controlled himself. He did not forget that this game,
Carrying the task yourself.
"Shh! Shhhhhh!"
Moreover, both players had the advantage and continued to attack strongly, but failed due to the tenacious and tenacious defense of their opponents.
Remind yourself again to focus.
In most cases, players have a clear understanding of the feel of their shots, and they don't even need to wait until the tennis ball hits the ground. They can already feel the control effect the moment they release the ball. Of course, a slight deviation from the ball is a special situation.
The rhythm and batting feel of the entire game are like a wild horse, always lacking a little bit, but little Zverev can't figure out what's going on. He is obviously still focused, excited, and devoted. Nothing special has changed. However, the situation of the game
But it was subverted bit by bit.
Little Zverev stood on the edge of the cliff and shot a backhand. After withstanding three consecutive attacks by Gawain, with his body almost out of position, he withstood a shot that shocked everyone in a straight line. It was extremely difficult and extremely passive.
Under such circumstances, the disadvantage was reversed and the two sides returned to the same starting line.
Gao Wen continued to hold serve and only lost one point in this round.
The tall man made a series of long stride sprints, which were like teleportation. From the left end to the right end of the court, the fighting spirit deep in the Dantian was burning.
"ah!"
Forehand, following the direction of sprint inertia, swinging one swing after another, turning his wrist, little Zverev also showed no sign of weakness in his talent and ability.
