Aiming at Gawain's backhand, it was not the classic outside corner of the second zone, but a close approach to press the backhand. Agut's tactical intention of trying to squeeze Gawain's backhand was clear.
This is not surprising.
Judging from the past three games, Gao Wen's backhand condition is still slowly adjusting and getting better, but it is still far behind its peak condition.
After all, the most direct impact of abdominal muscle strain is on backhand hitting; at the same time, the first three opponents failed to bring enough impact to Gawain's backhand position. The only one with such ability was Zverev. As a result,
That game was completely ruined, which I never expected.
In the opening stage, both players were testing and adjusting, so at critical moments, Agut habitually tested the current state of Gawain's backhand, which is completely reasonable.
Gawain is well prepared.
Although I didn't predict it in advance, my steps were light and agile, I turned sideways in one step, and I immediately caught up with my backhand with both hands.
Not only did he not avoid it, but he also took the initiative to move forward. Because his body was squeezed and could not stretch out, he still relied on the waving of his forearms to speed up.
One bump, one welcome.
boom.
Gao Wen's hitting was very solid, and he used his strength to completely pour the power of Agut's serve into it, bursting out instantly.
The parabola of the tennis ball was directly pressed down, low and flat, and returned along the original path like an arrow against the net.
Gao Wen did not choose to change the line or open the angle. He just hit the wall and hit him straight back.
The tennis ball rushed straight towards Agut.
Agut had just finished serving, and before his feet and body had time to return to their original positions, Gawain's return ball was already rushing towards the soles of his feet, fast and heavy enough, and a rolling heat wave came towards his face with teeth and claws.
In a hurry, Agut had no choice. He made a backhand push with both hands, bent his knees, and squatted down with his center of gravity, forming a posture like a wall. He also received a punch by hitting the wall, and then pushed back.
Snapped.
You can tell from the sound of hitting the ball that Agut's hitting is not solid.
Obviously, Agut did not expect that Gao Wen's return was so fast, comparable to the Flash. He had no choice or room to adjust. He could only passively defend for a beat, and then Agut realized that something was wrong.
On the opposite side of the court, Gao Wen adjusted his steps very quickly. He completed the position transfer in a series of dizzying small steps. His sight caught Agut's swing and he immediately moved his steps to seize the batting space.
Agut's return shot was still a diagonal line, and it failed to break the angle, and the parabola even rose.
Gao Wen seized the opportunity, switched from backhand to forehand, and shot forward with a sideways forehand. He didn't even wait for the rising arc of the tennis ball to reach its highest point after bouncing, and grabbed a rising point near his shoulder.
The roc spreads its wings.
Press down on the high point.
Power, speed, and rhythm all connected in an instant and turned into a huge wave.
Swinging across the field with great force.
Agut immediately realized the crisis, jumped up slightly on the spot, adjusted his chaotic center of gravity away from the shackles of gravity, and then tiptoed lightly, his body rushed out to the left.
Backhand.
As for Gao Wen's choice of return route, Agut guessed it right, and his ability to predict the defensive phase is also his specialty.
However, accurate prediction is not enough. Agut can feel the power of Gawain's forehand attack, and his hitting space is completely compressed, so that he has to retreat a little to barely give up some hitting space.
The backhand with both hands is fully extended, with one head.
Not good. Not good. Not good. Not good.
As soon as the racket touched the tennis ball, Agut already realized that something was wrong. The power and spin were suppressed too much and he couldn't control it at all.
The tennis ball flies over in a high parabola. It no longer cares about the route or landing point. The only thing it looks forward to is to get into the bounds.
Agut continued to adjust his center of gravity in small steps, and in a blink of an eye he was back in the center of the court, holding the racket in both hands and keeping an eye on the tennis ball.
In this round, Gao Wen was very aggressive. He showed a strong attitude from the beginning of receiving the serve. The subsequent shot relied on tight connection to firmly grasp the initiative, and the entire balance was broken in an instant.
Did Agut do something wrong?
No.
Agut was right about everything, and he still carried out the layout step by step, but this is Gawain's ability, otherwise how could he be a two-time Grand Slam champion.
But Agut did not panic, and continuously adjusted his steps to hold his position, watching Gawain adjust his steps and start his shooting movements.
Agut's return ball flew to Gao Wen's right half, neither deep nor shallow. The deep midfield area was close to the baseline, but it was obviously not deep enough, so this became an opportunity for Gao Wen to continue attacking.
Forehand slash.
Gao Wen launched an attack from the shoulder position, showing his offensive ability for the second consecutive shot, and the landing point was precise, and the angle was split instantly.
ah.
Agut roared from the depths of his Dantian, and his footwork had reached the extreme. However, he still had not much to do in the face of the menacing attack. He scooped and lifted his forehand, pulled out a strong topspin, and defended passively.
Topspin, strong topspin.
Although Agut is good at hard courts, the Spanish clay-court player also has some experience in pulling topspin, pulling strong topspin to push the tennis ball back.
The tennis ball penetrated into the sunlight like an anti-aircraft gun.
Gao Wen attacked beautifully and Agut defended beautifully. The strong collision between the two players has reached a new level in the first game.
The tennis ball is flying and gliding.
Gawain looked at the tennis ball, Agut also looked at the tennis ball, and the entire audience was no exception, and then you could hear the scene burst into exclamations.
Huh!
Agut's forehand defended topspin, and he pulled out a beautiful moon ball, which landed accurately near the big triangle of Gawain's forehand baseline, suppressing the bottom line.
This is a line shot.
In an extremely passive and extremely difficult situation, Agut showed his tenacity and touch and turned the tide of the battle. He has this ability.
Gao Wenqiang, that is a fact; but Agut can leave his mark on the tour and also has his own highlights.
With super topspin on the line, Agut pushed Gawain into a tricky predicament in an instant.
Is the bottom line high pressure?
This shot is not easy to handle.
Not only does it come with super spin, but it also bounces high after landing. When the tennis ball starts to fall, gravity acceleration will become a variable.
The most important thing is that it is deep enough and close to the line. This also means that Gao Wen must retreat and distance himself before he can swing the racket. The court space may also be different.
It is basically equivalent to a serve. The problem is that this is not a throw by oneself, and the rhythm and rhythm of the entire serve are also different.
Disaster!
Very very difficult!
Agut did give a good answer, but Gawain did not flinch at all. Hengdao immediately stood near the baseline, his lower body constantly adjusting small steps, and his upper body fully stretched.
