The suppression of the serve, the connection of the attack, the whole rhythm is very fast, Gao Wen's return ball is slightly shallow, Sarkisian immediately enters the baseline and steps up to hit the ball, using the width of the entire court, forcing Gao Wen to hit the ball.
While running at top speed, he managed to catch a moon ball with a backhand shot of both hands.
When the baseline is forced to hit the ball high, it means being very, very passive.
Sarkisian immediately sensed an opportunity and pressed forward with full force.
Sarkisian is also a baseline player, but when he seizes the opportunity, he doesn't mind going to the net, not to mention that now is an opportunity for high pressure in front of the net.
Tread.
Tread.
Sarkisian's steps when pressing up are very active, with a delicacy and lightness that does not match his height. He constantly adjusts his position through small steps to ensure that he can find the best hitting point to complete the overhead high pressure, but he adjusts and adjusts.
Sarkisian immediately smelled danger.
The moon ball has a really full arc, like a full moon scimitar, tearing through the entire sky——
Not only did it easily pass over Sarkisson's 191cm head, but it also flew towards the back of the court.
Could it be... a trap?
Sarkisian glanced at Gawain, but there was no time to think at this time, so he quickly criss-crossed his steps and retreated, while gazing at the landing point of the tennis ball near the baseline, and at the same time judging his position on the court.
Because when you continue to run and change positions, you are often easily confused and lose your judgment of the three-dimensional space of the entire court. Then you may make outrageous mistakes in your batting line selection, so you need to accurately judge your position on the court at all times.
Retreat.
Retreat!
Still retreating!
Sarkeeson tightened his grip on the racket slightly, and his steps had returned from the front of the net to the baseline, and then he saw the tennis ball bounce off the ground.
within the bounds.
If the tennis ball falls within one foot of the baseline, it must be in bounds. This also disrupts Sarkisian's habit of grabbing the ball.
First, he needs to confirm that the return ball is in bounds. If it is out of bounds, then there is no need to hit the ball, so he must wait patiently for the tennis ball to land.
Secondly, he is moving vertically, and his awkward body posture makes it difficult to grab the ascending point.
Thirdly, this is a high-pressure ball that lands on the ground. Due to the acceleration of gravity, the tennis ball's fall and rebound are different from those of a regular shot, so there is no way to gain points.
For various reasons, Sarkisian must perform regular baseline shots, which also means that he needs to take the initiative to exert force, and his weak shortcomings will naturally be exposed. This is a hitting method that Sarkisian does not like.
.
Damn it.
Sarkisian cursed secretly. It was obviously a round in which he had the advantage, but because of this moonshot, he returned to the same starting line.
OK.
OK.
Sarkisian quickly adjusted his position, turned 180 degrees, and adjusted his back to Gawain from facing Gawain. Then he followed the momentum of turning and poured the power of rotation into his arms to complete
Hit the ball with the bat.
Forehand!
work hard!
However, taking the initiative to exert force is really not Sarkisian's strong point. In addition, a series of actions such as turning around, emergency stops, and retreats make the position completely chaotic. The forehand force cannot find the strength of the lower limbs in the bumps.
support, so that the timing of hitting the ball that I am best at has some deviations.
ah!
The ball was hit a little early and the force was obviously not solid enough.
Sarkisian immediately realized the danger, quickly adjusted his position, prepared to receive Gawain's return ball, and returned to the baseline area he was most familiar with.
really!
Sarkisian could see at a glance that Gawain's steps were already in place - the transition from defense to offense was really too fast.
just.
In an extremely passive state, Gawain no longer had much room to hit the ball, so he reluctantly used his backhand to hit the ball high at the last moment. However, Gawain's mind was still spinning, so he simply used his wrist to increase rotation, adding more to the tennis ball at the moment of release.
Friction, lightly pulling the tennis ball out of a super topspin.
What you aim for is the bottom line.
If it fails, then it's a tie and just keep fighting; if it succeeds, then the situation can be reversed.
Then, you can see that Sarkisian's active force was deviated, and the quality of the entire hitting effect was obviously declining. He just hit a shot in a diagonal direction. The strength and speed were very average, and the angle and landing point were also average.
Not fully open, the only thing worth saying is the direction:
Aiming at the gap on the right side of the field for Gao Wen, forcing Gao Wen to save the ball at the left end point, he still needs to move the entire field to hit the ball.
However, Gawain had already predicted Sarkisian's choice to hit the gap.
Emergency stop and turn.
After cutting out a moon ball, the power of his left leg kicked off the ground completely, and his body rushed out. He quickly returned to his position and returned to the center of the court to wait. The moment he saw Sarkisian hit the ball, his center of gravity was
It has continued to move laterally to the right, and rushed to it as soon as possible.
The line is stuck.
coming!
Gawain even had time to adjust a little, staring closely at the tennis ball, standing firm, straightening his knees, completing a complete swing with his forehand, and preparing to hit the ball lightly and gracefully.
Sarkisian's return is obviously a "three-no product" and has no suppressive effect on Gaowen. This also allows Gaowen to easily choose any route to attack.
Gawain did not respond with a transitional beat again, but raised his hand and attacked decisively.
straight line!
Swing with all your strength.
Cannonball, out of the barrel.
boom!
The whole batting rhythm instantly increased, and the speed and power were both taken into consideration. Aiming at the straight line of Sarkisian's backhand, hitting it hard, you can hear the solid hitting sound. This should be Gawain's first time in this game.
For the first time, he took the initiative and used all his strength to attack.
The tennis ball turned into a streamline and flew away in the wind.
Sarkisian started immediately, running with all his strength, moving laterally, rushing towards his left side to cover the position. In a flash, he was concentrating on the flight path of the tennis ball, and had already completed the backhand grip with both hands.
Tread.
Whoosh.
The sound of running footsteps intertwined with the sound of the hunting storm, and the world seemed to fall into a brief freeze, everything slowed down a hundred times a thousand times.
However, the flying speed of the tennis ball does not seem to slow down, becoming the only moving entity in the static world.
Then……
Just a little bit, just a little bit.
Sarkisian's body has stretched to the extreme, and the action of holding the racket with both hands has been switched to one-handed holding with his left hand. He just hopes to extend it a little longer.
However, the mustard-yellow ball flew very fast, almost grazing the head of Sarkeeson's racket, but it still didn't touch it after all.
Winning point!
"Game, high."
boom!
The audience burst into thunderous applause, whistles and cheers.
I never expected that the first game would be so exciting. Both Gawain and Sarkeeson played well. The back-and-forth confrontation was very intense, especially at the last break point.
Seeing that Sarkisian was about to save three break points in a row, Gawain was already in an absolutely passive situation, but he turned the situation around with just one shot, turning defense into offense and scoring.
