Stachovsky hurriedly completed a flick, barely reaching it with his head and having no control at all.
But a veteran is a veteran, and the delicate handling of the wrist at the critical moment added enough friction. When the tennis ball flew in a full parabola, it accidentally pressed the landing point very deep, which instead created a containment.
According to the normal trajectory, such a rebound is either very shallow, allowing the opponent to get a chance to go to the net, and directly hit the ball with high pressure to kill it; or it is very deep, and simply goes out of bounds from the bottom line and loses points.
However, Stachovsky's return ball dropped quickly near the baseline, like a banana ball, but still landed near the baseline.
That's how the game often goes, a little bit of luck, a little bit of accident, and then the situation changes again.
Originally, Gao Wen's return performance was very good. His forehand slide had already forced Stachovski into an extremely passive position. He only needed one more shot to directly form the winning point, and he took advantage of the situation to complete the break and complete the victory.
The initiative is in your own hands, but what about now?
In fact, for Gawain, this is a change, but it is not a change.
Accidents are indeed accidents, but Gawain knows that this is precisely the charm of tennis. There are still unexpected variables in calculations and counter-calculations. Only by adapting to the situation as the game progresses can we take the initiative. Accidents may be crises but they may also be opportunities.
, which is fair to both parties.
Gawain, his heart was as calm as water, and he was not moved at all. He had to insist on putting himself first.
After completing the return of the serve, Gao Wen immediately realized that his return of the ball had achieved the effect, so his steps immediately entered the baseline, ready to connect with the next attack, but he was only halfway through the upper step.
, immediately realized that there was an accident in Stakhovsky's return.
He paused for a moment, stood there, raised his head and looked at the trajectory of the tennis ball, then followed the advancement of the parabola, adjusted his position in small steps, stepped back continuously, and then returned to the bottom line behind the baseline, reaching the bottom corner on his left
, keep your eyes on the tennis ball to avoid losing your position.
The landing point is very deep.
It is almost at the triangle of the bottom line, and there is some friction; moreover, after the tennis ball lands, it spins and releases, and the bounce height is very impressive, and then it gets into the sunlight again, flying high, which is basically equivalent to the difficulty of high pressure on the bottom line——
But for players, baseline high pressure is basically an advanced technique that is as difficult as a serve. Coupled with the irregular rotation and the falling speed of gravity, the difficulty may be slightly higher than that of a serve.
It is precisely because of this that when watching female players play, we often find that they cannot handle the high pressure from the baseline, so they simply hit the tennis ball back to the opposite court with a transitional shot. Such a hit is equivalent to wasting all the tennis balls they have previously played.
The accumulated advantages returned to the state of bottom-line pulling and shooting rounds.
The same is true for male players, who have many difficulties.
OK.
OK.
Continuous small steps.
Gawain continued to adjust his position with small steps. His eyes never left the tennis ball from beginning to end. He was judging the falling speed and rotation of the tennis ball. He only glanced at Stachovsky's position quickly with his peripheral vision -
The opponent, still standing on the backhand position, did not return to the center to prepare for follow-up defense, but placed bets on his own backhand. After all, with such high pressure from the bottom line, either Gao Wen would forcefully hit the opponent directly to death; or it would be a transition ball and a slash.
The larger diagonal is a safer and more secure option.
How to deal with it?
Gawain's brain was running at high speed: Do you want to take risks?
Be conservative and continue this round to see who can perform better in the follow-up.
If you want to take risks, give it a try. If you succeed, you will break serve directly; if you fail, it will be a tie and you will return to the same starting line.
From a tactical perspective, Stakhovsky is at the extreme physical limit, and stretching and taking multiple shots is powerful against Gawain, but Gawain has a slightly different idea, because his own physical strength is also exhausted very quickly, although he does not need
Pursue quick results, but you should also rationally arrange your energy and physical strength.
In a flash of lightning, Gawain had already made his choice.
whereabouts.
The tennis ball is falling rapidly.
Stachovsky's eyes were also fixed on the tennis ball, and then he could see that the tennis ball was getting faster and faster due to the acceleration of gravity. In the blink of an eye, he had missed the hitting point of the high-pressure ball. This also meant that,
Gao Wen should choose the transition ball.
After making his judgment, Stachovsky adjusted his steps lightly on the spot, preparing to seize the weakness of Gao Wen's transition ball and launch an attack - most transition balls are difficult to attach power and rotation, and often deflect.
Soft return.
whereabouts.
The tennis ball falls significantly faster.
At this moment, Stachovsky's pupils suddenly dilated, and he stopped jumping in place. What happened?
Gawain completely ignored Stachovsky's actions and focused all his attention on the tennis ball, because he knew that the acceleration of gravity would make the tennis ball fall faster and faster, which also meant that it was difficult to find the hitting point.
The movements are very, very difficult, and you may make mistakes if you don't pay attention.
He needs a lot of concentration.
First steps.
Invite the shot.
Turn.
work hard.
Seeing that the tennis ball has landed diagonally above his shoulder, the entire backhand swing has been rounded forward, and the ball is accurately completed near his shoulder. The center of gravity of the body is tilted back to increase the arc of the swing.
Smash the tennis ball down hard with a forceful downward movement.
boom!
boom!
Use force! Attack forcefully!
Gawain used his strongest, most powerful and reliable hands to backhand, completing a sudden straight shot——
It's not high pressure from the bottom line, but a draw from the bottom line.
boom!
The entire audience held their breath, and then watched helplessly as the tennis ball flew in a mustard-yellow straight line, crossing the entire court like a rainbow, flying from Gawain's left bottom corner to Stachovsky's right bottom corner.
The corner flew almost close to the sideline, and finally landed in the big triangle on the baseline.
The powerful backhand shot killed Stakhovsky's unexpected return shot in an unreasonable way, and the tough and powerful performance directly exploded the audience.
boom!
"Game, high!"
Successful break!
On the most critical score, faced with an unexpected return ball, Gao Wen showed incredible courage and confidence. He dared to take risks and take shots. He hit the ball with all his strength to complete the winning point and ended the game before getting further entangled.
ended this fierce battle.
The instant explosive power fully demonstrates the power and beauty of tennis.
The whole place is excited!
The referee's voice calling the score was instantly drowned out by the thunderous applause of the audience. Cheers, whistles, and screams erupted like a volcano, filling the air with smoke.
"5:4".
The young and energetic dark horse had a break advantage and was about to serve to win the game. The excitement of this game really lived up to expectations.
