Perhaps in terms of strength, speed, spin, etc., Agut's personal abilities are not outstanding, but his balance ability can maintain stable quality of the ball from beat to beat, and he can continue to output twenty or thirty shots.
, the pressure will accumulate layer by layer.
Moreover, the judgment of ability is also relative.
Compared with Del Potro, Agut's batting characteristics are indeed not distinctive enough; but compared with Bellucic, Agut's batting ability and quality as well as his tactical layout ability are even higher.
at this time!
In the stalemate of confrontation and game, Agut firmly grasped the opportunities created by himself, exerted continuous pressure, and instantly overturned the balanced situation.
Across the court, Gawain's figure crossed the court.
The effect of cutting in the previous beat is now highlighted. It not only slows down the pace, but also makes the adjustment of the center of gravity easier, buying precious time for Gawain.
After the second start, he quickly pulled his body's center of gravity back, and with one step he rushed towards his forehand position, and was mentally prepared.
In the game with Agut, there are definitely not many rounds like this. No, there was one just after the game started.
Gawain, you are ready.
The steps arrived smoothly, not in a hurry, and even with some time to adjust, the forehand was already shot——
Qiao Jin.
In fact, Gawain can choose to fight head-on. Under the right opportunity and situation, he is also willing to fight head-on and show his confrontation ability without hesitation; but it can be seen from the opening collision that Agut tried to seize the opportunity, and Gawain
Instead, there are better choices.
Forehand, strike out, wrap the tennis ball, nudge it.
Use strength to hit harder and hit lightly.
Gawain made a very, very unexpected choice, but judging from the details, this shot was not that simple.
Because at the moment of release, Gawain's racket head speed increased. He used the quick strap of his wrist to pull the racket in a straight line. The wrist power controlled by the entire line change was soft and delicate enough, once again showing Gawain's strength in the powerful collision.
The ability to adapt and have the talent to complete the execution.
However, the force of the shot being pushed was obviously losing strength.
Whoosh.
It can be heard from the sound of hitting the ball that Gawain used skill to control a route and landing point, hit the ball straight back, and sent the tennis ball straight back.
From Gawain's forehand position back to Agut's backhand position, and the bottom line dead center and bottom line dead center are connected, and the landing point is controlled accurately.
Huh!
The scene was filled with exclamations of surprise.
Gawain's batting was too light and simple, effortless, and he easily defused Agut's offensive. Such defensive ability is indeed admirable.
Agut was equally surprised.
Uh. Uh-huh.
Agut grunted, stopped and turned suddenly, and for the second time in a row, his center of gravity moved to the right, only to pull it back again.
The first time, the body's center of gravity was already bumping, and then Agut forced a straight attack.
The second time, the center of my body was thrown into the dryer, and every muscle in my body was trembling.
However, Agut still showed his ability, pushing and pushing the backhand with both hands. Such a simple hitting action succeeded in pushing and blocking the tennis ball along a straight line, and pushed the tennis ball to Gawain's forehand again.
The bottom line is a blind spot. The processing of this shot is simple and unpretentious but the skill is astonishing.
Straight line - straight line - straight line.
After hitting the ball three times in a row, the two players Gao Wen and Agut started a strong collision in the straight line.
Then, professionals can see that gaps have appeared.
In the previous shot, Gawain's light hit obviously did not hit the ball deeply. This was intentional, so that the distance between Agut and the tennis ball was widened, making it difficult for Agut to exert force when hitting the ball, forcing Agut to fight quickly.
He had to use his center of gravity to move forward to exert force and fight back.
Agut is good at leveraging force. If he is asked to exert force on his own, the combined force effect is often not enough, and mistakes are not inevitable, but the quality is still lacking. If he hopes to increase the effect of hitting the ball, he will use the superposition of his body weight to complete the force exertion.
Naturally, Agut's body center of gravity was slightly thrown outward.
This is the gap.
This scene can be seen in the eyes of thousands——
Gao Wen's footsteps moved towards his backhand position. This was a habitual movement for defense, but he kicked his left leg and pulled it back at the same time as Agut took action. Obviously, this step just now was a fake move, and his entire attention was
Still on his forehand position, his movements appear light and agile.
One step. Two steps.
In just two steps, Gao Wen was already in position smoothly. Following the inertia of his movement, he stepped forward and swung the ball forward.
Grab some!
Instantly, exert force.
boom!
Sweep, impact, as you can see from the forehand closing arc, this is not a spin around the head, but a clean and flat shot.
From slow to fast, it only takes one beat to complete the conversion.
Then, the tennis ball turned into a long streamline, crossing the entire court, and the hunting wind swept forward all the way.
Agut grunted again. During the sudden stop and turn, the second start was very fast. Although the center of gravity of the body was slightly pulled out, he reacted in time and moved fully laterally towards his right hand at the first time.
Tap tap tap, tap tap tap.
Agut's speed has increased to the extreme, and he has already crossed half the court in a flash.
pity.
Still too late.
Gao Wen's forehand slash once again burst out with amazing energy, and his penetrating "inside-out" shot directly penetrated the entire court.
It was precisely that moment when the front center of gravity was pulled out that caused Agut's second start to be a little slower. In the end, he watched helplessly as the tennis ball flew out, and he was still unable to catch up.
boom!
The entire Louis Armstrong Stadium was in a frenzy.
Forty beats.
A full forty shots.
The game had only just begun for the second point, and before they even had time to sit down, Gao Wen and Agut had already given such a wonderful round.
Whether it is Agut looking for opportunities to take the initiative to open up the situation, or Gao Wen quietly planning to complete the counterattack, the offensive and defensive transitions between the two players are not that obvious, truly showing the strong confrontation of total offense and total defense, and the quality of the batting in the opening stage
It was enough to make the whole audience excited.
Before the game, people were worried that Gao Wen's right ankle injury had not healed, which might affect the quality of the game.
But now, Gawain has made a declaration with practical actions that he is ready.
boom!
Boom boom boom!
Applause and whistles swept the entire venue. Those spectators who had just entered the venue and had not yet found their seats were all confused and did not understand what was happening. However, they also followed up one by two and started to cheer, once again showing the true nature of Flushing.
It is indeed the Grand Slam with the most party atmosphere.
"0:30".
At the beginning, in Agut's first service game, Gao Wen had already scored two points in a row to take the lead.
The second week of the Grand Slam is indeed a little different.
Of course, Agut is not a soft persimmon who can be rubbed lightly.
"30:30".
With solid baseline skills and excellent opportunity capture, Agut chased two points in a row and regained the initiative in his own serve.
But then, Agut made a mistake, and his forehand shot missed the baseline by half a ball. It was a very, very close shot, but it still went out of bounds.
then.
"30:40".
In the first game, Agut needed to face the test of break point.
The air in the entire venue was tense, and before the audience could get into the mood, the first climax of the game had already appeared.
