After all, he couldn't hold it back, swore a curse word, and sat on the chair depressedly, with his hands folded on his chest, his face full of worry, and the clouds lingering.
In the players' box, uneasiness and uneasiness, anxiety and panic were spreading.
However, Gao Wen still stood in the first area, ready to serve.
Take a deep breath.
Take another deep breath.
After taking deep breaths to adjust his heartbeat, Gawain threw the tennis ball high.
Bend your knees and push on the ground.
Throw the ball, swing the bat.
outer corner.
Facing Bellucic, who is left-handed, the outside corner is his backhand position.
The serve with a speed of 195 kilometers per hour is straightforward and without any fancy. Although the angle is not completely widened, the flat and pressing action is very obvious.
This is a typical hard court serve.
Bellucic's body was pulled out, and he was completely stretched out. He barely managed a backhand shot with both hands, and his center of gravity also swayed.
At this time, you can see Belucic's clay attributes. When there is not enough room to swing the racket, he subconsciously pulls top spin to gain defensive space for himself.
At the same time, Kirk also knew Belucic's habit of taking the next step, quickly adjusting his steps, returning to the center of the court, and preparing for subsequent defense.
Tread.
Tap tap tap.
Gao Wen continued to adjust his steps in small steps. In fact, if you look carefully, you can notice that Gao Wen obviously relaxed his steps and subconsciously protected his right foot. But the difference is that he took his attention away from his ankle and started to focus on the game——
Including layout including batting including tactics.
Try to avoid worrying about your ankle and adjust your tactics as much as possible, and instead get back on track.
The two-handed backhand had been set up early, and he was about to strike with gravity, but at the moment when he was about to strike, he paused.
A time difference.
Gao Wen waited a moment, because Belucic's return ball had strong topspin and the bottom line was not deep, leaving him enough room to adjust.
He glanced at Bellusic out of the corner of his eye, then took a backhand shot with both hands.
Evolved from drawing to cutting.
small ball!
Gawain cut and released a shot of the ball without any warning, and his skill control was very careful and conscientious.
Whoosh!
The tennis ball flew lightly toward Bellucic's backhand net.
Bellucic shouted that something was wrong, and had to make a circle with his steps, then returned to the backhand position, and rushed towards the net at lightning speed.
Originally, Bellucic was still observing Gao Wen's position and thinking about his return route, but soon he realized that he had no choice.
Gao Wen's ball control is very precise, almost flying close to the net, and the offloading force is excellent, and the height of the rebound after landing is very limited.
Bellucic reluctantly stretched out his racket. Before the tennis ball was about to jump twice, he only had time to gently lift the tennis ball with his backhand. In order to prevent the tennis ball from falling into the net, he really had no choice.
The tennis ball rose quickly, crossed the net high, and returned to the opposite court smoothly.
But Gawain was already waiting there, and there was no need to move in a large area at all. His steps were smoothly in place, and he once again made a high-arc parabola with his backhand with both hands.
Bellucic:…
There was no time to complain. He retreated in small steps, judged the height and position, and then Bellucic ran back towards the baseline.
Moreover, this time it was a big forehand bottom line triangle, and the landing point was deep enough.
Press the line accurately.
Belucic had just rushed to the net, but turned around and was forced to retreat to the baseline. Continuous running vertically consumes oxygen extremely fiercely, but there is no time to breathe, so he must think about how to deal with this ball——
Hit the ball under the crotch.
Looking back at the moon, Bellucic looked back following his batting action, and then he could see Gawain coming to the net and waiting.
Ready at all the time.
However, Gao Wen no longer needed the next shot, and Bellucic's return ball went directly into the net.
"30:40".
With ease and ease, relying solely on layout and without any effort, Gao Wen had already saved a break point.
More importantly, Belucic was out of breath and had to take big breaths. The burning sensation of oxygen spread all over his body along his blood vessels in the blink of an eye.
"pretty!"
Zhan Jun couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"The layout and control of this point are very delicate. This is also Gao Wen's growth and transformation this season, and his control of the batting feel is getting more and more clever."
"But the real highlight of this point is that Gawain seems to have regained his calmness and concentration, which is slightly different from the panic and anxiety after the injury."
"Perhaps the peak of physical strength has passed."
"Obviously, now Bellucic is about to face an extreme test of physical strength. The next game may be more anxious and full of more variables."
Zhan Jun has grasped an important point. He is indeed a professional and is keenly aware of the changes in the atmosphere at the scene. However, it is not yet possible to directly conclude that the situation is still full of variables.
Gawain also understands this.
call.
Take a long breath, stay calm and focused.
Gao Wen noticed one thing. His recovery rate of break points today was not high. Of course, it had something to do with the weather, injuries, health, etc., but this was no excuse, because now he had to recover another break point in a difficult situation.
Break point, but all those objective and subjective conditions still exist.
The problem is right in front of you.
Bellusic also understands this, so the next point will be even more anxious.
Facts also prove this point——
Round, it was deadlocked again.
Gao Wen's second serve was out of bounds, so he was a little more conservative with his second serve. After all, he was still in a state of adjustment and adaptation.
Bellucic did not take risks and fought steadily as always.
As you go back and forth, the two players' rounds become entangled.
The whole audience held their breath, and before they realized it, they had already exceeded twenty beats.
For the audience, especially Gawain's supporters, this was really a torment. Not only did they have to endure the scorching sun, but they also had to worry uneasily about Gawain's right ankle.
Run, brake, start.
Gawain completely forgot about himself and returned to the game, regaining his long-lost concentration.
Moreover, after being truly immersed in the game, after just half an hour of adaptation, the pain in my ankle seemed to have completely disappeared, at least without my brain realizing it.
As a result, the movement gradually became smoother.
His focus, his devotion, his persistence, and his fighting spirit were completely condensed into one energy at this moment. Even if it had exceeded twenty beats, he had no scruples at all, let alone giving up.
There was a murderous look in his eyes.
Sprint.
Kick the ground.
Swing the racket.
Attack.
While running at high speed, Gawain relied on the inertia of his sprint and launched another attack with his forehand.
straight line!
boom.
This was a shot in which Gao Wen took the initiative to attack. Although the speed and power were not increased to the extreme, he had excellent line and landing control and flew straight along the sideline.
On the other side of the court, Bellucic was completely passive.
"Well."
Bellucic groaned, but at the critical moment, he once again showed his solid basic skills on clay.
One slide, one split.
The forehand was extended to the extreme, relying on the power of the arm swing to create a diagonal shot. The moment the shot was taken, the speed of the racket head increased by a whole level.
Use force to fight.
The tennis ball turned into a stream of light across the entire court, and jumped out along the "inside-out" line towards the sideline of Gawain's backhand position.
