Gao Wen and Zverev formed a tug-of-war at the first point of the game. On the one hand, it was because the offensive and defensive abilities of the two players were very balanced; on the other hand, it was because the encounter between the two sides had just begun.
It still takes some time to explore and adapt, and there are a lot of uncertainties.
In the blink of an eye, the round has exceeded thirty shots, and the stalemate continues.
long.
long.
This time, Zverev's return was a little more satisfactory, landing in the middle on the forehand. Although it ensured depth, it lacked some spin.
Not an opportunity of opportunity.
What's the best way to hit the ball?
In fact, similar opportunities have appeared many times in the round, and both sides have faced opportunities. However, precisely because of the excellent defensive abilities of the two players, those opportunities have not been able to be converted into scores. This also means that
Then, each opportunity must be handled with more thought.
Gawain continuously used small steps to adjust his position, fully extended the forehand triggering action, and assumed a full-strength posture of bending the bow to shoot the vulture. He glanced at Zverev's position from the corner of his eyes, and then quickly moved his forearm,
Hit the ball toward the diagonal triangle.
state.
The tennis ball flew past quickly. It can be seen from the landing point that Gawain's control was very careful. The tennis ball landed in the big triangle where the bottom line and the changing line intersected. Even half of the ball suppressed the changing line. The whole angle was very
Tricky, by deliberately reducing force and increasing rotation, you can achieve delicate control of the landing point.
However, Zverev arrived quickly. With his center of gravity lagging slightly, he fully stretched out his upper body and made a machete-style forehand cut. He was already ready to hit the ball, but when the tennis ball came into contact with the racket
At that moment, little Zverev immediately realized something was wrong:
Tap!
Gawain actually used a light slap just now. He clearly seemed to have rounded his arms and prepared to use all his strength, but in the end, he landed on the tennis ball and hit it lightly.
Zverev obviously didn't anticipate the details of the shot and made a mistake in judgment. He planned to use his strength to complete the save, but in the end he couldn't borrow any strength at all. However, it was too late to temporarily change his power movement, so he could only use it reluctantly.
The strength of his forearm brought him back and knocked the tennis ball back.
But Zverev immediately realized that something was wrong, because he had not borrowed any power, and the flying parabola of the return ball was obviously out of control. It was high and floating, swaying like a feather. It seemed that only a gust of breeze could blow the tennis ball away.
Blow it away, this kind of defensive quality is obviously not enough.
Tap tap tap.
Gao Wen's footsteps immediately rushed to the net because he realized that his tap was working. Facing Zverev's excellent mobility, it was too difficult to hope for a winning point in one shot.
Careful layout is the key to breaking the balance.
Tap tap tap.
Zverev's footsteps immediately moved laterally towards his backhand. Even if Gawain attacked with all his strength, he would not give up on defense. He immediately completed the adjustment and shift of his center of gravity, inadvertently showing his amazing physical talent.
.
Whoosh, whoop, whoosh, the wind is hunting, both players are moving at full speed.
Then, little Zverev is in place, and so is Gao Wen. If Gao Wen hits the backslash as expected, then little Zverev's defense will be in place. So, how does Gao Wen choose?
?
Adjustment.
Adjust in small, continuous steps.
When Gao Wen came to the net, he became extremely careful. He had to shift a small part of his attention to his steps. He waited for the tennis ball to hit the ground and rebound, then continued to adjust his steps. His forehand was completely set, and his full arc seemed to be ready for power.
The ball was hit, but the next second it was unexpected again.
At the moment when the shot was released, Gawain released all his strength, hit the ball gently, repeated the line, and then hit the tennis ball back to Zverev's forehand position.
Da. da. da da. da da da da da.
The tennis ball landed on the ground lightly and nimbly. Because there was no force attached to it, the rebound height was limited. It quickly jumped two, three, and four times, and finally rolled all the way out.
"15:0".
The referee announced the score.
Gawain stood near the service line, clenched his right fist heavily, stared at little Zverev with stern eyes, and burst out with a powerful belief.
Little Zverev was still moving towards the other side. When he saw Gawain's hitting action, he already knew that he had guessed wrong. He looked up at the sky helplessly, his shoulders drooping in frustration.
I never expected that the end of this point would be so sudden and unexpected. A change in Gawain's batting and a change in rhythm instantly broke the deadlock; while Zverev, who had always maintained a consistent rhythm, obviously couldn't keep up.
In a "head-to-head" duel, the point is determined by wisdom.
Obviously, in the face of little Zverev's "aura suppression", Gawain not only did not shrink back, but his burning fighting spirit showed his belief in winning.
“Ultimate Saramento”? So what?
Gao Wen is not afraid to face players with such a style, because his brain is always running. If one attack is not enough, then two or three times, continuous offensive and defensive games, he can always find loopholes and then complete the victory - don't
I forgot that Gao Wen himself is also a player with balanced offense and defense.
Perhaps, little Zverev is gifted, but in terms of style, Gawain is very good at it.
In the first point, it took thirty-three shots to decide the final outcome. The two players hit the ball without giving up an inch, showing an incredible state, but in the end it was Gawain who played in an almost playful way.
At the end of this one-point contest, the final scoring method was understated and relaxed, as if he was laughing at Zverev's futility.
High up, Gawain raised his clenched right fist and looked at little Zverev across the court with bright eyes.
Huchihuchi.
Huchihuchi.
Both players were panting heavily, and they were completely tired after the anaerobic exercise, but neither of them flinched.
Little Zverev also looked at Gawain with sharp eyes, as if he could clearly capture the blazing flames in his eyes. He could feel the determination of gritting his teeth from half a stadium away, and the lines of his entire jaw and shoulders were completely tight.
Get up, your high fighting spirit is erupting.
The sights collided above the court without giving an inch, and the smoke filled the air.
In the end, little Zverev couldn't hold it back and muttered a bunch of words in German. Gawain couldn't understand him anyway, but he could tell from his expression that they probably weren't good words.
Gawain ignored it, turned his back to little Zverev, and let out a long, long breath.
In the past, he was young and ignorant, and lacked experience in the game. After playing for a long time, he was often more honest and would not hide his fatigue. He was directly exposed to the eyes of his opponents, but the game against Kokkinakis made Gao Wen
realized——
Don't let your opponent see that you are tired, otherwise the opponent will definitely seize the opportunity.
