Kokkinakis couldn't help but froze, his anxiety boiled up again, he couldn't believe that Gawain was so dilly-dallying and deliberately stalling for time.
In fact, he could also detect that Gao Wen did it on purpose. The game had been going on for more than a hundred minutes. Gao Wen's batting before serving had never been so delayed. Now it was suddenly like this. The intention couldn't be more obvious, but Kokkinakis now
Full of anger, it is difficult to look at this matter calmly.
Kokkinakis looked up at the referee and protested with his eyes, seeming to say:
If I was given a warning for delaying the game, does it not matter if he delayed the game?
But the referee didn't say anything, and Kokkinakis couldn't say anything, because both sides were ready to hit the ball. Gawain could serve at any time. If Kokkinakis voluntarily gave up the ball, he would be sentenced to lose points.
, he must not give Gawain a chance to make a sneak attack.
So, Kokkinakis glared at the referee fiercely, and finally bent down again, preparing to catch the ball.
The sunshine, hunting, and air seemed to be boiling, and only the sound of Gawain hitting the ball sounded in the sky above the court, which was suffocating.
Then Gawain threw the ball.
Kick off the ground! Bend your knees! Turn! Swing!
The entire action of throwing the ball and swinging the racket is smooth and smooth, and the slender figure is pleasing to the eye, just like an ancient Greek sculpture, which makes people stare with bated breath.
boom!
After the ball was hit, the tennis ball flew in a long trajectory, dragging its mustard-yellow tail, and rushed towards the outside corner.
Kokkinakis started his steps immediately, kicked off the ground with his left leg and flew out, stretching his body, his arms and racket had been extended to the extreme, but...
Gawain did not pursue the power of flat hitting, but increased the rotation, using the power of his wrist to cut a thin and shallow diagonal line. The shallow landing point landed on the front half of the teeing area, falling lightly and jumping out smartly.
.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, it had disappeared into the sunlight.
Kokkinakis, still a little worse!
Because the kicking force is insufficient, the calf muscles are not able to fully release the force, and the kicking force to bend the knees to straighten is far from enough, so that the speed of flying is also lacking. Even if you are tall and have long arms, you still cannot cover the flight path of the tennis ball.
.
ah!
Kokkinakis let out a loud roar, but still missed it a little, just a little, and then watched the tennis ball escape from the front of his racket head.
ACE!
"15:0".
With a bang, Kokkinakis cursed a lot of swear words and protested seriously to the referee:
"He has been shooting for so long, aren't you going to say something? Is he your illegitimate son? Do you know what you are doing?"
The referee ignored Kokkinakis's complaint. If Kokkinakis continued to rant, he would not hesitate to give a second warning or even a penalty point.
The atmosphere was slightly anxious.
Fortunately, Kokkinakis had a trace of reason left and did not take any further drastic action. He muttered to himself for a while, and then returned to the baseline, ready to catch the next point.
Just like football, in tennis matches, no one can challenge the authority of the referee. Even if there is a misjudgment or favoritism, the players can only report to the relevant referee organization after the game and request a re-judgement. However, during the game, the referee’s
Judgment is the only standard on the court and no one can interfere or challenge it.
Kokkinakis naturally knows this.
On this side of the court, Gawain watched Kokkinakis return to the bottom line, watching Kokkinakis becoming more and more impetuous and revealing his emotions. He knew that the gap he needed had appeared, but Kokkinakis
Nargis will not give up the victory, he still needs to fight for it on his own.
It depends on whether he can seize the opportunity.
Serve again.
This time, Gao Wen did not shoot the ball tactically and returned to his regular routine.
Pah. Pah. Pah.
One shot.
In the middle, suppress the backhand.
The speed is not fast, only 168 kilometers per hour, which is really too slow for a male player's first serve, but the rotation is strong. After landing, you can clearly see the side spin with the naked eye, turning a corner and heading towards Kokkinakis' chest.
The position was drilled in so that Kokkinakis was in a hurry.
He moved his steps continuously in small steps, trying to turn his body sideways and use a backhand to complete the shot, but his steps were still a little slow after all, and his position was not widened.
Chi.
He didn't hit the sweet spot and just caught the ball.
"30:0".
An ACE ball and a serve directly scored. Gao Wen focused most of his energy on his serving, and made full use of Kokkinakis's reduced physical strength but eagerness for success, and easily won two points. In the service game
firmly grasp the advantages.
If Sofal was commentating on the game in the live broadcast room, he would be able to see that Gao Wen made conscious adjustments.
Although Kokkinakis's physical strength is not optimistic, it took a lot of effort for Gao Wen to break the serve just now. He will inevitably face the same fluctuation situation in his own serve game. It is precisely because of this that Gao Wen
Fully considering the two people's status adjustment tactics, it achieved miraculous results.
Mind is still a very important part of Gawain's game.
On the third serve, Gao Wen tried to find an inside corner, but this time he hit the ball a little later. The first serve hit the net, and finally a second serve opportunity appeared.
However, Gawain once again played a trick:
Serve with reduced force.
Second serve, middle, close, rely on forehand, reduce force, the serve speed is only 143 kilometers per hour, it is really a snail speed, women's serve is more than that.
Kokkinakis's eyes lit up, and he immediately realized that "the opportunity has come." He adjusted in small steps continuously, started the shot early, and was ready to use all his strength to kill him with one shot.
But why did Gawain serve like this? Apparently Kokkinakis had no time to think.
Being close and relying on the forehand also means that Kokkinakis can reach the position without much adjustment; being impatient and attacking hard means that Kokkinakis is very eager to exert force and even compete for time.
Click on it, exert your strength blindly and without hesitation, and vent the pent-up fire in your chest.
Then……
The serve was really slow. Kokkinakis took the shot early and waited and waited until his hair turned white. Then he saw the ball coming.
As a result, he found that the serve did not have much power, and the height after the rebound was low and light. Kokkinakis eagerly grabbed a rising point, poured all his strength into it, and directly hit a powerful forehand, as if preparing to
Hit the tennis ball into countless pieces.
Snapped.
The tennis ball hit the net directly and got stuck in the fish eye of the net. From the side, you can see how fiercely Kokkinakis exerted force, but it still went down the net.
"40:0".
Kokkinakis failed to vent his emotions, so he got angry at himself, "Ah! Ahhh!"
I was so frustrated that I wanted to explode, but Kokkinakis really didn’t understand what was happening.
Quietly, the balance of victory and defeat has slowly tilted towards Gawain, but Kokkinakis still didn't realize what he should do, and things just got out of control little by little.
