Agassi wanted to applaud Gawain's forehand attack, but the shot was still in progress and he restrained himself——
This shot was not only sudden, but also delicate. The entire connection between the wrist and the racket felt particularly soft. It was obvious that everything had been arranged before the shot, and the final impact of the shot was exactly as expected.
To the layman, there may not seem to be anything special about Gawain's hitting, but insiders can see that Wawrinka's handling may be very tricky.
If you take a step forward, the hitting point of the rebound ball has been missed, and it is very likely to hit the racket frame and fly directly, especially the one-handed backhand. Both Federer and Wawrinka often miss such balls, mainly because of swinging the racket.
The space is squeezed and the hitting point is not accurate.
If you retreat, the batting position will be forced back, and the advantage of such a fast-paced back-and-forth ball will be lost. Gawain's next offensive connection may immediately follow up, and then Wawrinka's footsteps want to
It will be difficult to get back near the bottom line.
However, the reason why Wawrinka is Wawrinka is because his backhand has the ability to turn decay into magic.
However, Wawrinka was forced to take a big step back. However, he pulled up the backhand action early, completed the ball above his shoulder, and forced the attack. The entire swing was stretched and smooth, like spreading wings.
Like an eagle, you can clearly see the connection of the entire force movement, with an unparalleled beauty of lines.
boom!
It was obviously a passive ball, but Wawrinka used his backhand to forcefully tear it. He exerted force from an awkward position above the shoulder, and forcefully tore the tennis ball into a diagonal diagonal that ran through the entire court. Instead, it became active and completely reversed the entire ball.
situation.
He.
Louis Armstrong Stadium was filled with low exclamations, praising Wawrinka's trademark violent tennis.
but!
Everyone can immediately see a blue whirlwind crossing the audience, it is Gawain!
When the last shot was completed, Gawain had already started quickly. With a sudden stop and turn, he was already sprinting horizontally to the left side. Because he knew Wawrinka's ability, his backhand was capable of tearing diagonal lines and straight lines.
ability, but Wawrinka’s hitting line is relatively easy to predict——
In this case, it is often a diagonal line, because it is a gap. Even if there is no direct score, the connection of the next attack is more convenient.
Gawain, running at full speed.
However, it's still a little bit worse.
Gawain could clearly detect the quality of Wawrinka's return, which was like a light and shadow. Even if he moved in advance, even if he sprinted with all his strength, and even if he took the initiative to lay out this trap, he still lacked something when it came to defense. This is why Wawrinka is at the top.
A unique skill to stand firm among masters.
Really awesome!
But, did Gawain really not expect it at all?
Don't forget that Wawrinka's backhand was forced by Gawain's previous forehand shot. In other words, this was Gawain's layout.
The more critical the moment, the calmer and bolder Gawain becomes, daring to take the initiative to control his destiny. For Gawain, he refuses to passively wait for his opponent to make mistakes to win. He needs to take the initiative at any time. Even if he makes a mistake, it should be
Give it a go and have no regrets.
ah!
Gawain let out a groan as he exerted all his strength, and in the next second he slid out with a big stride. He was forced to use a one-handed backhand, but it was not a draw, but a cut, before the tennis ball hit the ground.
, filling in the last remaining gap between the tennis ball and the court in time.
Everything, one cut.
Gawain concentrated on hitting the ball, stretching his whole body to the extreme. Even in the face of difficulties, he still completed the ball according to his plan.
Done!
Gao Wen not only successfully caught Wawrinka's explosive attack, but also used cutting to change the flight trajectory of the tennis singles. His beautiful offloading and wrapping made the tennis ball fly towards the blind spot of the big triangle on the bottom line.
Huh!
Amidst the sound of another gasp from the audience, Wawrinka sprinted horizontally at full speed, running wildly between the two blind spots on the baseline. After finishing the attack in the previous shot, he was ready to step up to the baseline to complete the attack connection, but the next second
Then he realized that Gawain once again broke the rules and reversed the situation again.
Kick, kick, kick!
Wawrinka ran with all his strength, but his hope was still not extinguished because Gawain's cutting speed was not fast and he still had time.
Kick, kick, kick!
Wawrinka's running entered an anaerobic state, and his attention was completely focused on the flying tennis ball.
Why do you keep saying Wawrinka's defense is not good?
On the one hand, his footwork is very good, but his mobility is relatively inferior.
On the other hand, Wawrinka's offensive techniques are relatively rich and diverse, but his defensive shots are very monotonous, often just cutting one shot. The entire defensive line selection, batting quality and tactical choices cannot limit the opponent.
To put it simply, defense is not only about returning the tennis ball to the opponent's court, but also about limiting the opponent's next attack or even reversing the situation, otherwise it will be ineffective defense.
Defense, like offense, requires brains and talent, and offense is one type of "brain" while defense is another type of "brain."
Wawrinka only has the former.
That's it at this time.
Wawrinka's feet finally arrived, but he soon discovered that Gawain's return had removed most of the force, so the bounce height of the tennis ball was very low, which also meant that Wawrinka's hitting space was very limited.
So, Wawrinka chose... cutting.
It's basically Wawrinka's regular routine, without any surprises.
But the moment Wawrinka finished cutting, he looked up and saw that a tall figure had appeared in front of the net——
Damn it!
Wawrinka wanted to curse, but Gawain's offensive connection was so sharp that he came to the net immediately and blocked most of the hitting routes. Wawrinka had his back to the net and did not have time to see it.
In this scene, the cutting shot selection does not avoid the net.
Moreover, the parabola is not suppressed.
Such a careless mistake!
Mainly because of the first match, Wawrinka still lacked understanding of the young opponent's tactical combination in front of him. He did not expect that Gawain was so bold and risky, daring to make such a choice at such a critical score. The details of the entire return were lacking.
Polishing, but when competitive sports masters compete, it is often these "invisible" details that determine the outcome.
However, before Wawrinka had time to curse, he saw Gawain's figure covering the front of the net, and with a forehand press, he directly crushed the tennis block to death. The technique was crisp and straightforward——
boom!
The tennis ball landed hard on the court and then flew up towards the spectator stands.
Wow!
In an instant, the whole audience burst into cheers.
From offense to defense to offense, the active and passive transitions between the two players were so exciting. In just one minute, there were at least three position changes. Both players hit fatal blows but were defeated by their opponents.
In an incredible comeback, it was Gao Wen, a talented and brave man, who finally won the point with an unexpected high-pressure ball in front of the net.
