On the first break point, this is a common keyword for Federer and Gauvin. Rather than saying that the ball speed is slow, it is better to say that both players broke the inertia at the technical and tactical levels, and sparks can be seen everywhere in their calculations and layouts.
The game was completely different from the semi-final between Gao Wen and Djokovic.
In the "Gaodejue", the bottom line tug-of-war and entanglement between the two players is the main theme, and it often takes a long process to find offensive opportunities.
But in "Fei Gao Jue", the confrontation in the first three shots is always tense and stalemate. Every shot needs to be calculated and calculated again, and every step is startling.
At this time, the same is true.
Federer once again used an unexpected and inspired approach to change his receiving routine, instantly eliminating all of Gawain's serving advantage. Moreover, this backhand serve was clever in unloading force, with strong backspin, squeezing Gawain.
The ball return line, the diagonal line is a high probability event.
This means that Federer's position for the next shot is much simpler, just move towards the backhand position.
But Federer also knew Gawain's ability. He did not move rashly to the left half of the court. He continuously adjusted his center of gravity in small steps in the middle area, keeping his sight firmly locked on Gawain's figure.
——Kick off the ground, start, and sprint at full speed.
Gao Wen's second reaction was very fast, and he ran at full speed towards the backhand position. It was an accident. However, Federer's return shot was not very fast, which still left a glimmer of hope. What Gao Wen was striving for was this thin and weak chance.
vitality.
Step, stride, shift.
In the blink of an eye, Gawain was already close to the left sideline, glanced at the tennis ball, glanced at Federer, looked at the space on the court with his peripheral vision, and already set up his backhand with both hands, having an idea in his mind.
beat.
At this moment, a kind of courage is needed. Gawain saw the routes and gaps that others could not see, and he was ready to give it a try.
Left leg, push off the ground, emergency brake.
The overwhelming force of inertia pushed the upper body forward, unable to stop at all; the layers of reaction force surged up along the calves, thighs and waist like electric currents in a turbulent manner, pushing the waist and abdomen to complete the rotation.
Swing the racket from bottom to top, just like golf.
The power is released instantly, swinging quickly from the forearm to the wrist, friction, friction, strong friction, friction creates a super topspin, and breaks the original flight trajectory of the tennis ball in the rotation and rotation, and completes the flat push with the racket head
Swing it, and the tennis ball will fly out.
boom!
straight line.
A thrilling rainbow appeared in the clear sky after the storm, spanning the entire O2 stadium, falling straight behind Federer in a straight line, and instantly cut off the breath of the entire audience——
Bold. Determined. Adventurous.
Indeed, it is extraordinary that Gao Wen was able to carve out a bloody path in the era of giants. It is definitely not luck. This courage is what people hope to see in the new generation. Dare to make plans, dare to take action, and dare to succeed. Deep down from the heart
I believe I can win.
Even if the opponent is the Big Four, it is no exception.
Encountered suppression, fell into passivity, pushed to the cliff, so what?
Break the boat, survive from desperate situations, use your own wisdom to open the way, use your own courage to lay the foundation, and finally rely on your own ability to execute and achieve brilliance.
He.
In the midst of jaw-dropping shock, I saw Federer's embarrassed figure.
snort.
Federer grunted, not expecting it. This shot was indeed unexpected. Although he remained vigilant and fully alert, he sincerely believed that Gawain would hit the diagonal shot, but an accident happened.
The center of gravity shook, and after a second start, Federer quickly moved towards the forehand direction.
The speed has been increased to the extreme, and the body has been stretched to the extreme. Federer's steps are staggering a little, and he is pulling along the inertia while stumbling.
Close.
Closer.
Seeing that he was about to reach the spot, the racket had already rushed forward to meet him, and then——
Bang.
The frame of the racket hit the tennis ball, and the mustard yellow color flew directly into the stands.
The score belongs to Gawain.
"30:40".
Wow.
The whole audience was filled with exclamations, not even cheers and applause, but admirations and sighs. They exchanged glances with each other, and the joy and excitement surged up, and the whole stadium also boiled and burned.
This is already the second time——
For the second time in two games, Gawain used his own return to force Federer to lose his center of gravity and teeter on the verge of falling. This is really rare.
Federer has always been synonymous with elegance for many reasons. One of them is that his steps are as light and smooth as ballet, dazzling and graceful. He rarely disrupts his own rhythm.
But now, Gao Wen made Federer's steps lose fluency twice, which means that Gao Wen broke Federer's expectations in both layout and execution. He should have taken the initiative through offense but fell into the predicament of blind defense.
Awesome, indeed awesome.
Regardless of whether the fans agree or not, Gao Wen indeed has the ability to compete with any giant, naturally including Federer.
After Gao Wen saved the break point with such a wonderful and powerful score, the situation in this game immediately changed subtly.
So, can Federer take advantage of his second chance?
"30:40".
The O2 Stadium is a little unbearable to hold back the excitement. Although there is no stalemate scene for the time being, every point in every game is wonderful. There is no urination in the whole process. Adrenaline is continuously releasing energy.
However, in order to avoid affecting the progress of the game, they had to suppress it, and suppress it again, and then an undercurrent surged at the scene, the air slowly became tight, and the oxygen consumption rate doubled.
Gawain raised his head and glanced at Federer, then prepared to serve——
In the second area, press the backhand from close range.
It can be seen at this time that Gao Wen's distribution of serve placement today is still mainly close-in squeeze, which greatly limits Federer's first shot attack. However, in details, every serve is slightly different.
This time, it was a flat hit.
The flat serve with a speed of 203 kilometers per hour was completely aimed at Federer's backhand position and hit hard, which was different from the previous serve.
With both power and speed, it hit Federer's backhand smoothly.
Federer, no surprise.
You don't even need to adjust your steps, the one-handed backhand is already snatched away immediately.
Obviously, Federer also had his own calculations. In the game and tug-of-war, he was very resolute in his attack on the return of serve. Even when his backhand position was suppressed, he did not flinch. He knocked the return ball back head-on and exploded deep in his Dantian.
With an angry shout, Federer exerted his strength.
Not borrowing force, but exerting force.
Federer tries to grab the serve.
However, the quality of Gao Wen's serve was still excellent, and he really suppressed Federer. Federer was not able to stretch his hands and feet in the head-on confrontation. He returned the ball half with force and half with force. His parabolic control was unsatisfactory and his landing point was not good.
So deep as imagined——
To be precise, it's too shallow.
The return ball has just passed the teeing area.
Gao Wen's attack connection in the second shot was airtight and he immediately followed up.
