On the court, Gawain watched the tennis ball break through Kokkinakis' net coverage and form a through ball to win. He clenched his hands into fists and roared impassionedly.
"Ahhh!"
He vented it out heartily and unscrupulously, not only because this was Kokkinakis' match point, not only because he was forced to the extreme of one-handed cutting, but more because of the energy explosion in a desperate situation, which truly inspired
Expand your own potential.
He liked moments like this, as if his blood was burning.
The whole place is boiling!
Like a proud lion, Gawain roared unreservedly at Kokkinakis in front of the net, and the powerful energy overwhelmingly engulfed Kokkinakis——
Let the storm come more violently! This battle is not all fun yet!
Kokkinakis was panting like an ox. He had tried his best, exerted his strength, unleashed all his strength and speed without reservation, and pursued the ultimate in route and placement. However, he still failed to score, and
Still, Gawain fought back with such a powerful attitude.
what happened?
Kokkinakis believed that he could defeat Gawain, and he believed unswervingly, and today's game process also proved this. However, after entering the second set, things got out of his control little by little. How did this happen?
What's going on?
Kokkinakis couldn't help but think of the game in which Gawain had a clean sheet against Kyrgios. Was that really luck?
The belief is slightly shaken.
But Kokkinakis quickly forced himself to calm down. With two points, he was only two points away from victory. He should believe in himself. The game was still under his control. Kokkinakis kept cheering him up and cutting off his random thoughts.
signs of.
Is things really that simple?
The mental state is such a thing. Once there is a gap, everything will become turbulent. Even the Big Four may be tight at critical moments, let alone the young players who are just starting out?
Kokkinakis forced himself to calm down, but the very act of "forcing" caused his concentration to break down.
The question is, can Gawain seize the opportunity?
Whoosh.
Whoosh.
The court became quiet again, and the two players returned to the baseline. This service-winning game will continue to tangle.
Pah. Pah. Pah.
Kokkinakis was shooting the ball, and he forced himself not to pay attention to Gawain's movements, but he always seemed to be able to feel Gawain's gaze in the corner of his eyes, almost piercing his skin, and it was so hot that it made people breathless.
Come on, this made his palms a little moist.
However, Kokkinakis still did not slow down the pace of the game. He took a deep breath and immediately started serving——
His personality is still impatient.
Off the net in one fell swoop.
Kokkinakis wanted to increase his power, but his serve was obviously out of shape, and his hitting point was a little late and did not pass the net.
Gurgling.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that the air is getting hotter and boiling.
Kokkinakis still didn't adjust. He took out a second tennis ball from his shorts pocket and was immediately ready to serve.
In zone one, how to serve?
After two consecutive outside corners, should you continue to serve the inside corner obsessively? Or change your tactics to serve the outside corner? Or serve from close range?
Gawain's brain was working rapidly.
In Kokkinakis' style, serving from close is actually the most effective.
Because it is difficult to rely solely on serving to form a winning point, it is often necessary to attack one or two more times; and serving from close range is the best way to suppress Gao Wen's return line - look at Kokkinakis's first place just now
You will know the point at the first match point. In addition, it is the second serve now, so it is safest to serve close to you.
But with Kokkinakis's character, he may not be able to figure this out, and even if he can, he may not be willing to do so.
So……
Outside corner?
Guessed it!
Gawain's pupils suddenly shrank, and he immediately caught Kokkinakis's serving action. Kokkinakis, who had always hoped to disrupt Gawain's predictions by surprise, was always taking risks and always changing. In the end,
He is also the most daring to change at the most critical moment. Just like the previous inside-corner serve achieved miraculous results, he now also tends to challenge the outside corner to break Gawain's guess.
But I didn’t expect——
Step up! Kick off the ground! Fly! Stretch!
Gawain just took a big step horizontally to his right, with his upper body fully extended, and the forehand triggering action was already completed.
This time, Gao Wen did not fully draw the racket, but quickly pulled the racket in a small area, and then used his strength to push it back. He was able to push back the power of Kokkinakis' serve without using his own force.
Moreover, the speed and power of Kokkinakis's second serve were significantly lowered by a notch, which gave Gawain enough time. However, Gawain did not choose to fully exert his power with the racket, but chose——
Lower the center of gravity and grab the ascending point.
Gawain took a big step laterally, squatted down with his knees fully bent, extended his upper body, and grabbed the first moment when the tennis ball rebounded and rose. He used his strength to push back and shorten the time for returning the ball to the ball as much as possible.
Then, the knees stand up like springs. Because the force of pushing off the ground is not enough, the inertial force of squatting and standing is fully utilized to pull up the flight arc of the tennis ball.
Whoosh!
The flying speed of the tennis ball is obviously accelerated. It is obvious that Kokkinakis's second serve speed is only 142 kilometers per hour, but Gao Wen's quick connection and hitting the rising point increased the speed of the return ball to 155 kilometers per hour, and even flew back at a faster speed.
.
Kokkinakis had just had time to adjust his center of gravity when the tennis ball had already come back diagonally.
Damn it!
Kokkinakis took a big step laterally and tried to complete the ball. Even if it was cutting, there was no problem. Unfortunately -
boom!
"Take the lead, high."
The referee was very sure that Gawain's return ball was in bounds and Kokkinakis couldn't touch the tennis ball at all, so he reported the score directly after the tennis ball made two jumps.
ah!
Ahhh!
Kokkinakis roared angrily and was very dissatisfied. He continued to complain in a low voice and couldn't stop swearing. Unexpectedly, Gawain actually caught his second serve and directly returned the serve with an ace.
, this is simply too embarrassing!
Kokkinakis tried to open up the outside corner of the angle, but failed to break the angle. Instead, it became the angle from which Gawain used his strength to return the ball and win the ball. As expected, being tall and tall, with long arms is a natural advantage.
Kokkinakis threw the tennis racket into the sky in frustration. Even though he continued to curse, he still couldn't vent the bad emotions boiling in his chest. Not breaking the racket was the result of enduring and enduring, but after all, he still needed to vent his emotions.
.
Looking at the racket spinning in the air, Kokkinakis's shoulders drooped feebly, his eyes were blank and there was no answer——
It's not just one or two points. Why is it so frustrating to wait for yourself to serve to win the game?
Obviously everything is the same, obviously nothing has changed, but why can't I win it?
