Kokkinakis' serve above match point seems to have all the elements, so what more bicycle is needed?
But the problem is that Kokkinakis is not a cannon in serving, and his advantages in speed and strength are not obvious. At the end of the second set, he was restricted by his physical strength, and he could clearly feel the decline in the quality of his serve, even if the last two points burned the small universe.
, the quality of the serve is still limited.
Speed, almost.
Power, almost.
The angle is slightly different.
With such a flat serve, the pressure on Gao Wen is limited, especially when the service line and landing point have been predicted by Gao Wen.
Therefore, you can see Gawain's body that continues to jump on the spot, his reaction speed, his toes jumping lightly, his body jumping out a step nimbly, turning his body sideways, triggering the forehand in advance, and waving his forearm quickly,
The body's strength is transmitted from the bottom of the foot like a spring.
One wave! One flick!
Kokkinakis's powerful serve was directly knocked back. Like a skateboard, it used the force to pull a small diagonal line from the center of the court and flew quickly towards Kokkinakis' left backhand.
.
ah!
Kokkinakis let out a strange scream, and was obviously caught off guard by Gawain. His reaction was slightly slower, and he couldn't help but scream out in surprise.
But he also maintained a high degree of concentration on the match point, and his conditioned reflexes were very fast. With a single bounce step, his body had already flown towards his left side.
There was no time for the two-handed backhand to lead the racket, but Kokkinakis took advantage of his outstanding physical fitness and relied on the strength of his upper body for support. He twisted the two-handed backhand forcefully, not only pushed the tennis ball back, but also kept it in the backhand.
The moment you take the shot, use the power of your wrist to flick the shot quickly.
Change the line!
It’s really unreasonable!
In such a passive situation, he still forced to change the line, and today he has successfully changed the line more than once. It is clear that the bully Gao Wen's return ball cannot form an effective suppression, and he interrupts the rhythm of the game at will, which really makes Gao Wen suffer a lot:
Because it is unpredictable and because there are no rules, you have no idea when the line will change.
This time, it's the same.
Whoosh.
Whoosh.
Gawain's attention was highly concentrated, and he immediately realized that Kokkinakis suddenly changed his line. He supported the ground with his left leg, kicked the ground violently, and made an emergency brake. His calf muscles exploded completely, and he could even
Feeling the explosion of muscles, his body melted into the strong wind, and he jumped out at lightning speed.
Tread.
Tread.
The soles of my feet were already burning, and my speed increased to the extreme, but I could still clearly feel that I couldn't catch up, and my footsteps couldn't keep up with the flying speed of the tennis ball.
Big step!
Big step!
Gawain's forward steps have completely jumped up, and the powerful force hits the ground fiercely. You can clearly feel the fierce reaction force rushing towards you. The entire internal organs are tumbling violently, as if the world is falling apart. Golden,
All the blue and green chaos became a mass and rushed towards the face.
ah!
Almost!
Just a little bit closer!
Faster! Faster!
Run! Sprint! Stretch!
Gawain stepped on the Hot Wheels with his feet and threw his body out with all his strength. His eyes were fixed on the mustard yellow light flying rapidly in the air. Under the inertia of full speed propulsion, his upper body was completely extended, and his whole body was like
A bow fully drawn contains infinite energy.
Arrived.
Just before the tennis ball is about to exceed the body's receiving point, the footsteps have barely arrived.
tread!
The right leg kicked off the ground violently, like a spear piercing the ground, firmly stabilizing the body, and in the extreme state, the shot was triggered early——
Even in such a difficult situation, Gao Wen was still not ready to cut, but was still ready to draw the ball.
Swing! Turn! Send the shot!
Just when the racket is about to touch the tennis ball, Gawain's wrist speeds up instantly, and the speed of the racket head rises to a whole new level. He completely relies on the power of the swing arm to complete the ball, and takes advantage of the situation to turn all the inertia of the body forward into force and superimpose it.
Ah...ahhhh!
Gawain could clearly feel that all the power in his body was released, attached to the tennis ball. The more difficult it was, the more he had to hit the ball to the extreme. Only in this way could he suppress his opponent. The burning feeling deep in his soul had completely burst out.
.
Then--
A super diagonal, 45-degree diagonal line flies from one vertex to another, traversing the entire field.
It's like a long sword being unsheathed.
boom!
The crisp sound of hitting the ball echoed in the sky above the court, and all the eyes of the audience were focused on the small tennis ball. They stared with bated breath, and could faintly hear the brief silence after the rough breathing was cut off.
but!
Kokkinakis has arrived early——
Even if Gawain can complete the shot, the extreme position just now has pushed Gawain to the extreme. There is no room to return the ball. The diagonal line is the only route. The most is to press the landing point deeper, limiting Kokkinakis's swing space.
, but that’s all.
Naturally, Kokkinakis' defense or the next attack can be put in place in advance.
It was precisely because he arrived early that he bought enough time for Kokkinakis. His footsteps were rooted on the ground like a big tree, his forehand was completely rounded, and his swing trajectory was full and sufficient, and he caught the flight of the tennis ball early.
At the ascending point, the whole person rises into the air and hammers down hard from top to bottom.
Bang. Bang.
You can even hear the sound of bones bursting and muscles bursting——
straight line!
For the second consecutive beat, Kokkinakis was still the first to change the line, disrupting the inertial line layout during the attack, seizing the opportunity, and forming a suppression one step ahead.
boom!
The tennis ball dived into the "underground" like a torpedo, as if it blasted a big hole on the tennis court and jumped out in a straight line.
Huh!
A gasp of shock could be clearly heard in the stands of the stadium, because Kokkinakis hit the ball with all his strength, it was too heavy and too fast. From the moment he released it, you could see that Kokkinakis was running for the ball.
Go for the winning points, ready to beat Gawain to death and bring the game to an end.
Could it be that Kokkinakis is going to win the game on the first match point?
Buzzing.
Buzzing.
A low commotion could be heard at the scene, cheering for Kokkinakis, feeling sorry for Gawain, and cheering for this shot. The bustling sound surged in the air, and the hot air continued.
It kept exploding, but quickly calmed down.
Because, no dead ball has been formed yet.
Gawain is still running to defend.
Involuntarily, the audience who exclaimed forced themselves to close their mouths again, falling into an almost suffocating stagnation, staring at Gawain's figure:
Fast and lightning fast.
Running at top speed.
Gawain, who was fully focused on entering the anaerobic running state, his whole brain was clear, his lungs were burning, and his legs were kicking the ground. He did not think about the match point or the match point, victory or not. His eyes were fixed on the tennis ball, and there was only one thing.
An idea:
How to save the ball? How to defend? Also, how to counterattack?
This point is not over yet. The light and shadow from all over the world are pouring towards Gawain like a downpour.
