In these two or three games, Wawrinka really seemed to have some divine help——
Because I stood on the edge of the cliff, with no baggage or constraints, and gave it a try, the intensity and accuracy of the entire attack returned to full strength, and I hit the target repeatedly.
However, Gawain was not worried.
He still focuses on himself.
From a global perspective, Gao Wen needs to look higher and further:
Assuming that the second set is lost, how should the third set unfold?
Assuming that the second set enters a tie-break, how should the tie-break be arranged?
Whether it is the final set or the tie-break, the key to victory is to interrupt Wawrinka's offensive rhythm.
Only when the situation becomes chaotic can Gawain regain control of the situation.
Therefore, rather than saying that it is for this point and this game, it is better to say that Gawain is paving the way for the follow-up, boldly and boldly making different attempts to create interference.
Just like this point——
Two-handed backhand, using force to hit, straight line, deep zone.
The tennis ball, along the flight path of the serve in the inner corner, jumped back again, straight and straight.
It was obviously a passive situation, it was obviously a backhand position, and his position was obviously squeezed... However, Gao Wen still took advantage of the situation and went to the net.
It is similar to Federer's "SABR", but Gauvin is not as bold as Federer. After all, his skills at the net are still not solid enough. Gauvin chooses to return the serve to control the route, and follows the return route to the net, and the pressure is one after another.
Stacked up layer upon layer.
Frontal, impact.
Wawrinka was indeed startled. Before he could return his serve, he saw the tennis ball and Gawain rushing forward like ghosts.
The scene is like the twins at the end of the corridor in "The Shining". They get a lot closer in the blink of an eye, and get a lot closer again in the blink of an eye.
Coming at you!
The heart contracted suddenly.
Subconsciously, Wawrinka had already started swinging his forehand, and was caught up in Gawain's rhythm. His mind reflexively tried to increase the rhythm to counterattack——
Forehand, use force.
When facing an opponent on the net, the entire return rhythm speeds up, so most of the time, the return side will also increase the rhythm, trying to compress the opponent's reaction time in front of the net as much as possible. The shorter the reaction time, the harder it is to control and adjust.
Now, the same goes for Wawrinka.
However, there is a detail here.
In the serving and receiving links, the situation is more complicated, because Wawrinka has his own strategy in his mind, and the attack connection in the second shot after serving; the result is completely overturned and disrupted by Gawain's sneak attack, and Wawrinka has to overturn it in a hurry
Plan and then reformulate how to respond.
Moreover, Wawrinka is still compressing the rhythm, compressing Gawain's reaction time and also compressing his own thinking time. Taking action is purely instinctive.
--straight line.
Wawrinka's forehand broke the net with great force, and instead of choosing the diagonal space on both sides, it crashed straight into Gawain's position.
Full of bumps.
In a flash of lightning, the tennis ball hit Gawain again. It seemed that Gawain had just finished hitting the ball one second, and had to prepare again the next second.
and!
Gawain rushed forward all the way, facing forward head-on. The superposition of speed and speed further compressed the reaction time, and even the detailed adjustments of his footsteps were not timely.
However, they saw that Gawain put the racket in front of him and made an interception action in a very awkward way. In order to gain room for adjustment, his body jumped up. The whole movement was weird and twisted, but it showed Gawain's flexibility.
The next second, bang!
The tennis ball hit the racket head-on, causing the string to vibrate violently. At this moment, Gawain made a gentle touch with his wrist, delicate and clever, just a touch.
The flexible force completed the package and rushed out holding the tennis ball.
Turn, rotate strongly.
Not only does it turn, but it is also light, almost without any strength, just like a feather.
Sticking to the net, he cut out a small ball that shocked everyone.
ah!
Wawrinka let out a low cry from deep in his dantian. The previous beat was unexpected enough, but this beat was a combination of surprise and surprise. His steps started immediately, but his entire center of gravity was thrown into the roller and started to rotate earth-shakingly.
The world is spinning.
Then you can see that the tennis ball bounced off the ground, with strong backspin, and then jumped back towards the court on the Gowan side. It was incredible.
……That's too late.
Wawrinka did not continue to chase, and shook his head slightly helplessly, but did not forget to applaud Gawain. This goal was indeed beautiful.
From the beginning to the end, Gao Wen touched the ball twice, once to receive the serve and once to volley at the net, but he showed a delicate and exquisite touch. His unexpected tactics completely disrupted Wawrinka's rhythm. The tactics and execution were perfect.
Involuntarily, it reminds me of...Federer.
Wow--
The O2 Arena was in shock. They looked at each other in shock. It took them a moment to react, and the sound of exclamation that came out of their mouths filled the scene.
Then, you can see Gao Wen standing in front of the net, raising his racket to signal to Wawrinka. The ball he just scored was somewhat lucky.
The two players exchanged glances, laughed, and then returned to the baseline to continue preparing for the next point.
"30:15".
The situation is a bit delicate.
Wawrinka adjusted his breathing, got rid of distracting thoughts, avoided random thoughts, refocused his mind, and continued to proceed at his own pace.
a district.
Wawrinka glanced at Gawain's position, and then began to throw the ball——
Surprise, this serve was definitely an accident, Wawrinka slowed down.
In Wawrinka's game, there were not many changes, not only in the forehand and backhand attacks, but also in the serve. He is a typical single-minded player who "attacks to the end", so there are not many slow-down serves.
Even on the second serve, Wawrinka is the same, rarely choosing a combination of spin and placement.
But at this time, Wawrinka slowed down slightly.
As you can imagine, Gawain was completely caught off guard when he was killed.
Moreover, Gawain's prediction was wrong.
Gawain thought that Wawrinka would choose to stay close to press the forehand, so he moved in advance, preparing to grab a serve. However, this strategy was seen through by Wawrinka. Wawrinka not only spin sideways on the speed bump, but also chose to stay close to press the backhand.
Oops--
Wawrinka must have captured the crisis from the details of Gawain's movements.
What should we do now?
There is no turning back when the bow is drawn.
At this time, it is too late to stop and turn suddenly to change the direction of movement. The most likely result is to miss the hitting point and hit the ball directly on the ground.
In this case, why not...
keep mistake.
Gawain's footsteps moving laterally to the left not only did not stop, but also continued to speed up in small steps and continued to move.
Switch from backhand to sideways forehand.
Although his steps were very busy and hasty, Gawain forced himself to turn sideways, using his steps to cooperate with his upper body, and reluctantly opened up a little space. He touched his ribs with his forehand and slapped his body.
The whole movement...is like a yoga performance.
but!
Gawain did it, he managed to gain a little space, gave up some position amidst the squeezing and squeezing, and completed the ball.
at the same time!
Gawain also had the audacity to change sides.
Originally, there was no room to hit the ball with such a sideways forehand, and hitting a diagonal shot was the only chance of survival. However, Gao Wen used his wrist to wrap up and shot a straight shot, aiming at Wawrinka's backhand gap and knocking the tennis ball into the ball.
Went back.
Actually!
At this moment, a moment of on-the-spot response and adaptability, Gawain calmly and boldly launched a counterattack with an absolutely firm attitude to reverse the situation.
This is not just courage, but also a change in temperament from the inside out.
