Gawain is walking across the court, observing Federer's shot while judging the position of the court. From all aspects, it is a diagonal shot.
really!
Gawain accurately predicted.
However, even though Gawain's judgment was correct, Federer clearly saw Gawain's movement direction and still chose a diagonal line. How could he be unprepared?
The power explodes instantly, and the push is deep. The entire landing point and line are completely aimed at Gao Wen's backhand bottom line triangle push, and the impact is fierce and powerful.
suppress!
Gawain could clearly feel the energy coming towards him while he was moving at high speed. He didn't flinch at all. He stepped forward and faced it head-on with his backhand.
"Strength vs Power".
"Backhand VS Backhand".
"Slash vs Slash".
Different from the previous secrets hidden in the cotton, this time it is a head-on confrontation with no tricks or tricks, and the rhythm suddenly changes.
Suddenly fast and sometimes slow, sometimes slow and sometimes fast, a combination of strength and weakness, Gawain and Federer now both entered the highway channel, and the entire confrontation suddenly became tougher.
boom!
The sound of the ball hitting the ball was like thunder, exploding in the sky above Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Opposite the stadium.
Federer was already prepared and moved to the forehand position but did not relax his vigilance. He immediately pulled back to the backhand position and faced the front with a one-handed backhand.
Backhand.
slash.
impact.
Federer did not avoid it. The frontal collision of his backhand released all his power, and the billowing heat wave caused ripples in the air.
Back and forth.
It was an absolutely tough collision, and the connection speed became faster and faster. The two players were involved in the collision of strength and speed.
Then, again.
"Backhand VS Backhand 2.0".
Gawain once again pushed the tennis ball to Federer with a backhand slash, and Federer also pushed the tennis ball to Gawain with a backhand slash again.
From a layman's perspective, both players were a bit lazy, and the direct confrontation was not as exciting as the previous game.
But an expert can tell that Gawain's backhand is opening up the angle, trying to pull Federer out of the singles line. It seems to be paving the way for the straight line of the next shot; while Federer's backhand is increasing depth and rotation, using bounce to squeeze out
Pressuring Gawain and destroying the continuity of Gawain's backhand.
An ordinary one-shot backhand shot, the changes in placement, rotation, and arc continue to create different pressures and impacts.
Gawain is still Gawain, and Federer is still Federer.
At this time, Gawain could feel the obvious squeeze. Federer's backhand slash was almost near the bottom line, and it was released quickly with a violent spin. After landing, it was like a hurricane, running along his calves, abdomen, and chest, towards Gawain's
The cheeks rush up and the hitting space is completely squeezed.
In other words, Federer is forcing Gawain to retreat. If Gawain refuses, the swing space will become narrower and narrower, and the hitting will become more and more difficult——
It is conceivable that the risk of returning the ball will also become greater and greater. If you don't have much control, you will either make a direct mistake or the ball will be shallow.
Originally, Gao Wen tried to pull Federer out of the sideline to create a gap and create opportunities for a straight backhand, but he was tied up by Federer's hitting.
what to do?
Forced to change the line?
No, of course not.
Gao Wen's steps were slightly sideways, still a backhand, still a diagonal, but this time, he deliberately pulled back the return line slightly.
In other words, it is no longer close to the sideline, but in the middle of Federer's backhand half. It can be regarded as hitting Federer's position.
A chase back to the ball is like hot spot tracking.
How will Federer handle it?
Sideways forehand?
not at all.
Federer was also aware of Gawain's trap. Unless his sideways forehand was powerful enough to suppress Gawain, it would be Gawain's chance to counterattack; Federer did the opposite and continued to use a one-handed backhand, slightly moving to the right.
He opened his body and took a diagonal shot, but his tactics changed.
This time, it was Federer's turn to play with the angle, and the return ball landed on the left sideline of Gao Wen, immediately pulling Gao Wen's steps beyond the singles line.
"Backhand VS Backhand 3.0".
Federer stared closely at Gawain's footsteps, and immediately noticed that Gawain was moving sideways while stepping forward——
Grab the rising point to become a straight line.
This is also one of Gawain's best offensive routines, and it is very powerful.
Line change, is this coming?
Federer's footsteps immediately started moving to the right.
Tap tap tap, tap tap tap.
From adjusting to starting to accelerating, in a blink of an eye, Federer accurately predicted that Gawain had indeed grabbed an ascending point and made a strong move.
Federer remained calm, because this was the trap he had created. He quickly crossed and changed steps to reach the forehand position, but before he could get there, he could see it from the corner of his eye...
Although Gao Wen followed Federer's prediction and chose to hit a straight backhand with his backhand, Gao Wen's follow-up to the net also overturned the confrontation, and he obviously had a backhand.
Federer could immediately feel the pressure of 193 centimeters coming towards his face. As his steps were rushed into place, the return line was also rapidly narrowing.
Rob!
At this time, you must seize the rhythm, because Federer's steps are not so smooth. He has no way to delay his shot to deceive Gawain, so it is the right way to seize the rhythm and break Gawain's rhythm in front of the net in advance.
He kicked off the ground, braked, struck out with his forehand, and in one push and another, the swing of his forearm whipped the tennis ball towards Gawain's backhand.
In a straight line, compared to Gawain's tendency to move up, this is also a shot behind the ball.
Moreover, aim at Gawain's backhand gap.
In an instant, the situation changed.
Gawain's footsteps came to an emergency stop in front of the net. Before he could get completely close to the net, Federer had already taken the lead to find a gap.
One step after another, the body's center of gravity was pulled back amid violent shaking.
The distance between his body and the net was too close, and he didn't have enough reaction time. His footsteps were dragged behind him. Gawain simply leaned his upper body forward and stretched out, holding the racket tightly with both hands, moving forward without fear, and moved forward slightly when he pounced.
, use the body as a wall to form the supporting force of the backing.
One.
At the same time, release your left hand, use both hands to become one-handed, cut down with your right hand, and stretch your left hand to maintain balance.
Lower cut.
Backspin.
push down.
In the blink of an eye, it was done in one go.
The tennis ball rubbed hard against the racket string and flew back to the ball with violent spin.
On the other side of the court, you can see that Federer immediately started his steps to enter the baseline, stepped on the wind, stepped forward at full speed, and stared at the tennis ball intently.
The tennis ball crosses the net lightly and flies along the diagonal line.
The entire Arthur Ashe Stadium can be seen, a mustard-yellow stream of light crossing the stadium, and a breeze trying to intercept it laterally.
Closer, closer.
Just as the two rays of light were about to intersect, the mustard-yellow stream of light took the lead, completed the breakthrough easily, and then rushed out to play without any hindrance.
The door to a whole new world opens right before your eyes——
Time and space freeze in an instant, and the moment evolves into eternity.
The entire audience was silent, holding their breath, just watching quietly, watching the mustard yellow light fall to the ground, rebound, fall to the ground again, and then roll out with a grunt, dragging out a long and long tail.
