Bend your knees, push on the ground, throw the ball, swing the racket——
Gawain, serve.
Outside corner of Zone 2?
No, rely on your backhand to catch up.
In this game, Gawain's serve has been seeking changes. Even if he takes some risks, he must implement his tactics and have a long-term vision. He cannot be restrained by the immediate crisis.
After all, on the other side of the net is Federer, and the game of rhythm and layout is going on all the time.
In fact, Federer has been looking for changes in his return of serve in this game, whether it is "SABR" or taking risks to fight, and continues to make different attempts.
Federer tried to interfere with Gawain's rhythm, and similarly, Gawain was trying to interfere with Federer's rhythm.
This time, Federer took another risk.
Sideways forehand.
Federer predicted that Gao Wen might choose to serve closer to the forehand position to break the inertia in the second area, so he moved ahead and tried to attack the forehand sideways.
Unexpectedly, Gao Wen chose to chase and serve, sacrificing speed and using rotation to create a squeeze.
Federer suddenly fell into a passive position.
However, Federer didn't panic at all. His lateral steps were light and agile, and he made continuous small cross-steps to open up space along the left side.
tread.
With one push, Federer jumped up according to the inertia of movement.
A jump in the air.
A scissor-leg transposition completes the power delivery.
The free and light body movements completely gave up the position, and the whole person flew directly up. The hitting position rose, the shot was made from a high point, the forehand was like whipping a whip, and the speed of the racket head increased instantly.
Snapped.
With a flick of the wrist, hair and jersey fluttered into the air. The tennis ball was subjected to unparalleled force and instantly turned into a streamline and flew out.
Even in an extremely passive situation, Federer was still able to exert force in a small area and in a small space, seemingly effortlessly.
This is talent.
The tennis ball flew towards Gawain like a rocket, with both strength and speed; however, it was far from perfect. Federer was still squeezed, and his feet and body were not fully stretched, so the control of the line and landing point was slightly lacking.
This also gives Gawain time to react.
With one step, Gawain was already moving towards the backhand position amidst the chaos and turmoil, and faced forward with a solid and stable backhand with both hands.
A wave, a sweep, a head-on collision——
Bang.
The impact of strength and power set off layers of air waves. It can be seen at this time that Gawain obviously did not give in. He also exerted force even though he was slightly passive. The whole turning movement was very full and very free, and the swing movements followed
The turning arc went up all the way, and finally hit the back of the head.
jump up.
You can see the tennis ball crossing the entire court like a rainbow bridge, flying along the diagonal, but further tearing the angle of the diagonal line, aiming at Federer's backhand sideline and drilling through it, the strong topspin flight arc ensures the return
The ball can accurately find its landing point on the sideline.
Federer's position is a bit awkward.
After completing the sideways forehand, subconsciously prepare to move laterally to defend the forehand position. After a sudden stop and turn, continue to move toward the backhand position again.
In the blink of an eye, the steps were pulled out of the singles line, but the control of the small steps was not enough, so the backhand hitting space was not accurate.
In other words, the space between the racket and the tennis ball is not very precise, and the swing needs to be adjusted so that the tennis ball can be centered smoothly.
Naturally, the swing will be distorted, so the chance that the player will be forced to choose a transition ball or an insurance ball greatly increases.
However, this is Federer -
He is the first person to hit the ball according to circumstances in awkward and passive situations. He can always create miracles by relying on his body's sense of balance and excellent touch.
At the same time, the flexible advantage of the one-handed backhand is also reflected.
Federer's swing was obviously not smooth, but at the moment of release, the racket head of the one-handed backhand was still thrown up quickly, creating a strong blow.
straight line!
Federer fought again, instead of choosing a diagonal path along the return trajectory, he shot a straight shot when his body was squeezed and unable to stretch.
Amazing skills!
Incredibly wonderful!
There was no sound at Arthur Ashe Stadium. In this round, every time Gauvin and Federer touched the ball, they were seeking a breakthrough in the difficult situation. Both players were like walking on a tightrope. What they showed
It is not only talent and ability, but also courage and courage.
"ah!"
Along with the swing of the racket, Federer, who was in trouble, also shouted out, and the power deep in his Dantian exploded instantly.
The whole audience held their breath and listened quietly to the roar, and then all their eyes followed the tennis ball as it penetrated the court.
The next second.
The Dark Knight with the Hot Wheels had already burst into view.
Fast and lightning fast.
Shrunk into inches.
The series of long afterimages behind him dragged across the entire field, and before he could even blink, he had already reached the other end of the field.
However, the hitting position is still a bit awkward.
Federer's one-handed backhand creates a whipping effect. The tail power is very good, flying faster and faster, and finally forms a pressure and impact. Even though Gawain moves quickly, there is still less and less space left for him to hit the ball.
, watching helplessly as the gate opposite the stadium slowly closed——
There are fewer and fewer hitting lines.
It is precisely because of this that Federer jumped on the spot, readjusted his center of gravity, observed the effect of his shot, and then jumped out and moved to the right.
slash.
This is the safest route.
Federer's starting speed was very fast, and he rushed out with just one step. He just turned the situation around with this shot and gained the opportunity to attack continuously.
He won't miss it.
At this moment.
Federer's pupils narrowed slightly——
Oops.
Danger!
It can be seen from the sight that Gawain took a step and took off directly along with the inertia of the sprint. Just like Federer's hitting action just now, he used the taking-off action to adjust the balance of his center of gravity and gain a chance for himself to hit the ball high.
Forehand, attack instantly.
The arm swings, the wrist swings, and the moment it touches the ball, the speed of the racket head is completely increased, and all the power of the whole body is detonated through the turning movement.
A flick, a blow——
straight line.
Passive and passive, Gawain leapt up to complete the volley, hitting a straight back shot powerfully and domineeringly.
Damn it!
Federer's center of gravity continued to shake and he completely lost control. At this time, he was no longer as calm as usual. He staggered out and rushed out. His body had stretched to the extreme, but this kind of shot was definitely not Federer's strong point. He used a one-handed backhand.
There is basically no frame for swinging.
Damn, damn, damn.
After all, it was still half a beat too slow. Just as Federer stretched out his racket, he saw that the tennis ball had broken through the blockade and jumped out from the front of his racket.
boom!
The whole place was boiling.
Unbelievable.
incredible.
Wonderful.
His whole brain was roaring, and he even forgot to shout and applaud, he just subconsciously exclaimed and covered his mouth in disbelief.
This is simply too...
Indescribable.
But almost at the same time, the sound spread just a hair away, and the linesman made a sound that broke the madness at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
"Out."
No...it can't be...
All the eyes of the world were focused on the linesman, but he was very determined and did not waver even under the spotlight. He stretched out his left hand to signal that he was out of bounds.
