Gently, Gawain jumped on the spot, moved his limbs, and simply warmed up. Compared to the duel itself, warming up was undoubtedly more important, because it was an important part of avoiding injuries. He did not want to spend time during winter training just for a mere
Kyrgios was injured inexplicably.
He raised his head and glanced at Kyrgios on the other side of the court.
At this time, the stadium had been completely cleared, and Sharapova and others had already taken their seats in the players' bench, leaving the entire venue to Gawain and Kyrgios.
The players, fans and spectators at the scene were all very discerning. It could be seen from Gao Wen's simple warm-up movements that this was not a completely amateur audience. The expectations quietly began to rise slowly again, and everyone was watching the excitement.
The whole country cheered and cheered, and the atmosphere was very heated.
Kyrgios seemed to enjoy the atmosphere very much.
He was also enjoying the attention of the stage. He moved back and forth on the baseline in a frivolous manner, imitating an ant on a hot pot with small steps. He finally stopped and was ready to receive the serve, but his swaying movements were like rowing a boat.
Generally speaking, the water in Honghu Lake is full of joy and excitement.
From his expression to his movements, his whole body exuded a kind of aura of dismay, provoking Gawain's nerves all the time.
This is more effective than the middle finger.
So, how did Gawain respond?
Pah. Pah. Pah.
Gawain bent down and hit the tennis ball regularly. The sound of hitting the ball echoed under the blue sky, slowly making the noise in the audience settle down. He didn't look at Kyrgios's movements at all, because it was meaningless at all, and it would still happen.
If your attention is taken away, just focus on yourself.
Bend your knees and throw the ball.
Kick off the ground and turn around.
The entire serving action is completed in one go. The power of kicking the ground and the strength of the calf penetrate from the ground to the arm, completing a standard serving action.
Kyrgios raised his eyebrows slightly, as if an elder was watching a child playing monkey tricks, with a hint of cheerful joking and consideration in his eyes:
Oh? The serving action is still a bit cool! It’s not bad to be so confident when facing professional players, but the speed and power are a bit less interesting...
boom!
state!
The mustard-yellow tennis ball turned into a long light and shadow and hit the inner corner of the service area. It was fast and urgent, like a rocket, and it immediately jumped out.
boom!
The tennis ball hit the backboard behind the court, making a loud noise.
Kyrgios:???
Kyrgios, who was posing a moment ago, couldn't help but froze in place, and the next moment he was overwhelmed by question marks, his face maintained a graceful and smooth "S" curve with a look of astonishment, and all his voices and thoughts came to a standstill.
I couldn’t turn the corner for a while:
What just happened?
Ace ball!
It’s actually an ace ball!
boom!
Thunderous applause!
The audience was all excited. Although Kyrgios was putting on a show and his return of serve was obviously slow, an ace is an ace. Gao Wen's clean serve can indeed show his standard, not to mention a standard serve.
The action exudes the atmosphere of a professional player.
Bang bang bang!
There was thunderous applause, and no one could hold back their excitement and excitement. There were even whistles and cheers, and the air became boiling.
At any time and in any game, starting with an ace ball is worthy of encouragement; what's more, what about an ordinary spectator playing against a professional player?
Show, really show off!
MacDonald was calmer. After all, he was an NCAA player. He also knew that Kyrgios did not have a correct attitude, which to some extent reduced the difficulty of Gawain's serve.
But in other words, a good performance is a good performance, and an ace is an ace.
If it were him, I'm afraid it would be difficult to stay focused in the face of Kyrgios's provocation and interference. Let alone ace, it's a good thing if he doesn't make mistakes when serving. This also proves Gawain's excellence, so he clenched his fists and
The entire audience raised their arms and cheered together.
Ho ho ho!
Cheers came rolling in.
Kyrgios was slightly embarrassed, obviously not expecting Gawain to be able to fire an ace at such a speed.
It is important to note that the tennis serve is very difficult, and even amateur players need to practice for many years before they can master it.
For most ordinary amateurs, they either throw it lightly and then barely hit the tennis ball, with no power or speed.
Or serve with your lower hand, just like a badminton serve, from bottom to top, so that the tennis ball draws a parabola and flies over the net.
Generally speaking, the underhand serve has no power or speed, the landing point is very shallow, and the rebound height after landing is very low. For professional players, it can basically be killed with one shot.
But very, very occasionally, underhand serves will occur in professional competitions.
What needs special attention in professional competitions is that the receiving party often stands relatively far back due to the huge power of the serve. This also means that if it is an underhand serve, the landing point is too shallow, the bounce is too low, and the starting speed is slightly slower.
, but may not be able to catch up.
It is precisely because of this that underhand serves are often not used in professional competitions:
Although this is not an action explicitly prohibited by the official rules - because once it is seen through, it will basically be directly hit to death by the receiving party and the serving party will suffer the loss; but it is generally considered to be an unethical cheating behavior.
To put it simply, it can be regarded as a sneak attack by a villain. For tennis, a "gentleman's sport", it is indeed ungraceful and not aboveboard enough.
Even hope games rarely occur. Only in special circumstances, when young players are exhausted and no longer have the strength to push on the ground, will they have no choice but to start serving.
However, it is very common in amateur competitions.
Kyrgios thought that Gawain would hit an underhand serve, and he could catch up slowly. However, Gawain actually issued a standard serve, and he was caught off guard.
deep impression.
However, Kyrgios quickly found a reason for himself: he made a mistake. He was not serious just now, so he made a wrong judgment.
"Good luck."
Kyrgios smiled at Gawain, still maintaining a condescending attitude, and even gave a thumbs up to Gawain.
Gawain didn't mind pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. He spread his hands and showed a big smile, as if he didn't know how to pronounce ace.
Looking at Gao Wenyun's calm appearance, Kyrgios curled his lips, showed a contemptuous smile, turned around and asked the caddy for two balls, and then prepared to serve.
Raising his head, Kyrgios glanced at Gawain and noticed that Gawain was standing relatively far back——
Obviously, we are still wary of Kyrgios' powerful serve, and we need to spread our stance to ensure time for judgment and reaction.
But such an action is very ridiculous in the eyes of Kyrgios. The opponent is an ordinary fan. If he really goes all out, then even if the opponent takes it seriously, he still can't form a confrontation, right?
