At this moment, Gawain's mind was clear. Match points, victories, and history were all out of his mind, because he couldn't be distracted. Once he was distracted, the game would be out of his control.
The only thing he needs to think about is the next point.
How should I deal with Isner's serve?
Even if the game has reached the end of the fourth set, Isner's serve is still the first problem. Isner's serve today was very good and very stable. Occasionally, he can always regain his touch immediately with a little fluctuation.
Facing Isner's serve requires countless energy.
But Gawain still remained focused. Whether it was the first set or the third set, the experience told to Gawain was the same:
Opportunities need to be created by oneself; and even if they are created by oneself, they are fleeting and he must seize them firmly.
Therefore, concentration is very, very important.
In a daze, he even forgot about the heat, and just stared at Isner with burning eyes.
Shake, take steps.
Shake, take steps.
Despite the serious physical exertion, Gao Wen continued to remind himself that he cannot be lazy with his steps, because his steps are one of his advantages and he can often grab the hitting point and exert more power for Isner in offense and defense.
Pressure, this is important.
Straighten your knees and fly out.
interior angle.
Isner chose the inside corner in the second area to suppress Gawain's forehand. Obviously, he should have also noticed the shortcomings of Gawain's forehand being unstable, and he was able to break through from the forehand at the critical moment——
One shot, hit.
Gawain took a long step and threw himself out, but Isner's first serve was too fast and his steps were too late. He could only extend his upper body and barely hit it with the racket. The quality of the return was not mentioned for the moment.
, always need to touch the ball first to see the follow-up.
Whoosh!
The tennis ball flew in a high and floating arc, and was about to fly out of the baseline, but at the last moment it fell quickly and staggered into the bounds. However, the landing point was really bad, and it landed directly on Yi.
Next to Snell's position, you can start attacking directly with a few small adjustments.
Moreover, a return shot without spin or power poses no threat to Isner.
But Isner also encountered such an opportunity today. His return in the third set was like this. His attack failed to kill Gawain, but was scored by a counterattack.
Isner will not forget the bloody lesson easily. At this point, he became more focused and careful. He obviously added extra spin on his forehand and aimed at Gawain's backhand sideline and smashed it over.
Whoosh!
Isner really tried his best and chose the route very smartly. He gave up Gawain's forehand gap and chose to hit the ball back. The tennis ball flew quickly behind Gawain.
Gawain was very embarrassed.
The direction of his movement was indeed to the right, but before he could even take a step forward, he realized that Isner was hitting a reverse slash. He adjusted his feet lightly on the spot, and then the power of his right calf fully exploded.
, pushing his body and rushing out in the direction of his backhand.
Staggering!
Staggering!
Gawain could no longer adjust his steps. Isner's hit was too fierce this time, and the landing point was very accurate. It landed directly in the blind corner of the big triangle. It was almost impossible to catch up. Gawain could only
He can support his body on one foot and fly out, but he can't hold the racket with both hands——
Because there is no room to swing the racket, I shoot with one hand with my right hand and extend my body as much as possible.
rub!
He held the racquet with one hand in the backhand position and cut it like a dragonfly landing on the tip of a small lotus. He used the upper part of the racket to barely cut back Isner's powerful and heavy shot.
Whoosh!
The tennis ball flew high, high, like a rainbow.
Time fell into stagnation in an instant; the world fell into chaos in an instant.
Gawain adjusted his steps lightly and nimbly, controlling his body's center of gravity. Then you can see that Isner has entered the baseline immediately, and his tall and burly figure has already rushed forward——
This time, Isner seized the opportunity and without any hesitation, he faced the flight path of the tennis ball. He hit the ball with a volley and forehand and directly threw the tennis ball back. He did not even wait for the tennis ball to hit the ground.
The reaction time was further compressed, and Gao Wen was forced to the extreme state to use a one-handed backhand to return the ball, without any threat at all.
boom!
The sound of hitting the ball is very solid!
Then, Isner continued to move forward.
Tap tap tap.
Tap tap tap.
Isner has arrived at the net!
At the most critical moment, Isner saw an opportunity and chose to go online without hesitation! Is this a risk or a decision?
But Gawain had no time to think.
Because Isner's return shot came back like a rocket.
The only good thing is that Isner hit again and again, aiming for Gawain's backhand. This time, Gawain had enough time to adjust his steps and took a sudden step to his left, which was very impressive.
It is solid and very stable, with your feet deeply rooted into the ground to maintain stability.
Bend your knees! Turn! Swing!
boom!
"Strength vs Power"!
Gawain's two-handed backhand was finally able to launch a solid counterattack, and he hit him head-on. The thunderous force pushed back all of it, like a spark hitting the earth.
Keng.
He groaned as if his chest was hitting a wall, and his knees and calves could feel the overwhelming force coming towards him. It swallowed him up in an instant, and he was about to be forced to retreat in order to eliminate the impact of the force.
But Gao Wen knew that once his center of gravity retreated, the force of the return shot would not be enough, so the meaning of this return shot would no longer exist, because it is very likely that he would not be able to control the parabola of the return shot and it would turn into a high ball.
With Isner's height, he can easily complete high-pressure situations.
Bend your knees and lower your center of gravity.
In the blink of an eye, Gawain made a detailed adjustment, forcibly sinking the force from the frontal collision. At the same time, he maintained a stable backhand with both hands. His left hand supported the right hand to swing the racket with all his strength, and the power of his upper body was steadily transferred.
When the ball is released, the waist will also rotate as soon as the ball is released.
ah!
Ahhhh!
The power was released without reservation at this moment, as if the soul was on fire, and the sound erupted from the depths of the Dantian was released.
Push! Ball out!
Speed up! Hook!
At the moment when the ball is released, the strength of the wrist is suddenly released, further increasing the speed of the racket head, and quickly swinging it towards the top of your head with all its strength.
The tennis ball left a long tail, outlined a small diagonal line, and flew towards Isner's backhand position.
boom!
The tennis ball flew past like a bullet!
At this moment, the entire audience held their breath involuntarily. Thousands of eyes were all focused on that mustard-yellow stream of light. The golden sunlight all over the sky outlined a gorgeous trajectory, which was beautiful and thrilling.
