Facing the match point, Wawrinka was not conservative. Even though Gawain's serve quality was very good, he still took the initiative and made full use of the strength of his forearm to draw a diagonal line. In the narrow swing space, he swung quickly and quickly.
The shooting action is completed in an instant with unparalleled strength.
Oops!
Gao Wen immediately fell into a passive position. After finishing the serving action, he returned to the position a little slower. The strength of his calf immediately burst out and he rushed out with three long strides. However, there was no time to trigger the shot, so he just did it with his forehand in a split posture.
He made a fish-out-of-the-sea motion and barely picked up the tennis ball.
rub!
The tennis ball drew a full arc and flew toward the deep baseline area on the opposite side of the court. Even if it was a conditioned reflex action, Gao Wen had already adjusted his steps and moved sideways to the left without thinking about it, but his eyes were still locked.
Wawrinka’s actions——
Diagonal? Straight line? Or in the middle?
In fact, when faced with such a shot, hitting the middle is the most unexpected choice, because the player sprints with all his strength to cover his backhand gap. As a result, when encountering a return ball in the middle, it is easy to overrun. Even if not, at high speed
Finding the hitting spot while moving can also be very difficult.
But Wawrinka doesn't. He rarely returns the ball that breaks the routine like this.
Therefore, Gao Wen guessed that Wawrinka would choose the diagonal line. After all, the gap was there, and his movement towards the forehand position had been disrupted in the previous shot, so the movement must be more difficult.
Tap tap tap.
Tap tap tap.
Gawain's footsteps were indeed a bit chaotic. He continued to use small steps to adjust his center of gravity, and his lateral sprint speed could not be increased to the extreme.
Tap tap tap!
Then you can see Wawrinka taking the initiative to take a small step forward, and with one hand backhand, he made a very cool and unrestrained action of drawing a bow and shooting a eagle, sweeping and pushing——
boom!
Along with the opening movement of the entire chest, the mustard yellow streak was like lightning, its speed doubled or tripled, and it instantly disappeared into the endless sunset, sprinting towards Gawain's backhand position with all its strength.
The prediction is accurate!
but--
Kick, kick, kick!
Gawain had no time to be happy at all, because Wawrinka's step forward compressed the rhythm of the bat, and the tennis ball flew too fast and fiercely. Even if he moved in advance, Gawain's footsteps were still slightly unable to keep up. At this time, you can see
The pressure created by Wawrinka's return of serve in the previous shot is having a follow-up effect.
Kick, kick, kick!
Gawain's speed could never be fully increased, and it was so bumpy and turbulent that his backhand swing was too late.
what to do?
Kick off! Push forward! Extend!
Gawain could only barely touch the tennis ball with his backhand. His body had stretched to the extreme. At this moment, he had no way to exert force or control and could only rely on the feel of his hand.
The whole wrapping and pushing of the wrist is completed in a flash. When pushing it out, the left hand leans on the right hand to push outward slightly.
Whoosh.
The next second, the tennis ball was already flying out - it all depended on feeling.
Whoosh whoosh!
The tennis ball soars into the sky and dives into the splendor of the vast tracts. Then Gawain and Wawrinka both raise their heads. They stare at each other. This is also the first basic lesson in tennis. You must not lose the position of the tennis ball. With this,
At the same time, my steps were constantly adjusting and jumping on the spot, looking for my center of gravity and balance.
Appeared!
Wawrinka immediately quickly entered the baseline. After all, Gawain's return ball was still not completely controlled. The landing point should be a big step away from the baseline. If he could control it deeper, he could restrain Wawrinka.
hit the ball, but now it gave Wawrinka the opportunity to come in and play high-pressure.
How to choose?
At this moment there is only gambling, choose one side, left or right?
But Gao Wen would not gamble blindly. Even if he needed to gamble, he had to observe carefully. He continued to stare at the tennis ball with his peripheral vision, and then looked at Wawrinka's footwork adjustments. It seemed that Wawrinka was preparing to hit with a forehand.
high pressure--
After all, backhand is still awkward.
Moreover, Wawrinka's body is slightly facing to the right.
Unlike Kyrgios, Wawrinka plays with strength and rarely makes fake moves. However, if Wawrinka suddenly chooses to make fake moves at a critical moment, then Gawain will only suffer the loss. This is calculation and counter-calculation.
mysterious.
After making the judgment, Gawain immediately started running full force towards his right forehand position again.
But this time, instead of increasing the speed to the extreme, I controlled my steps and rhythm and watched while running.
Tread. Tread.
After the tennis ball landed on the ground, it jumped high. Wawrinka fully stretched his body, jumped on the spot, and smashed his forehand from top to bottom. The high-pressure ball flew towards Gawain.
So, what kind of high pressure did Wawrinka choose?
There are two types of high-pressure balls. One is that the high-pressure ball is placed near the service area. It relies on the height after landing to rebound to complete the overhead movement, allowing the tennis ball to fly directly to the spectator stands. In this way, the opponent players cannot touch it.
When it comes to tennis, the risk is that you need to use all your strength, and it is easy to hit the ball too hard and go directly to the net.
One is high pressure in the deep zone. Leaving aside the danger of easily going out of bounds, the entire technical action is actually simpler than the former, but the key point is that the angle needs to be torn apart, otherwise it will be easy for the opponent to take another shot back - as for
Whether a round can be formed depends on the opponent's ability——
Strength is the key, because the collision of "power VS power" often requires strong control. Not just any player can suppress the power and speed and then buckle back when faced with a high-pressure ball. In the tour, this
Moves are Nadal's specialty, and his powerful forehand is on full display.
So, facing Gawain, what kind of high pressure does Wawrinka choose?
Bottom line, forehand.
boom!
Tread. Tread.
Gawain moved slightly faster by two steps, his eyes locked on the flight path of the tennis ball, and then he stepped firmly on the ground.
Bend the knees! Straighten! The power of the lower legs is transferred from the inertia of kicking and sprinting!
Turn! Swing the racket! Stay focused with a calmness between lightning and flint!
Hit the ball! Use force! All the strength of your body is poured into the racket, and it hits it quickly like a whip.
snort.
It's like hitting a wall.
His knees trembled slightly uncontrollably, and his chest felt tight, but Gawain's whole body fully faced him, and he could even feel the powerful centrifugal force thrown by his upper body——
Give it a try!
A full blow!
boom!
Ahhhh, the power was released continuously like this, completely suppressing the high pressure of Wawrinka's violent forehand, forcing it back, no longer holding back, and bravely rushed forward!
boom.
The tennis ball just turned into a light and shadow. Wawrinka on the opposite side of the net had just completed a high-pressure move. Before he could even stand firm, he could see a mustard-yellow light and shadow passing from his right side.
call.
The wind howls!
Then you can see the tennis ball falling into the court and jumping out immediately after landing. The scorching eyes of the audience blend into the burning sunset and vent towards the linesman.
within the bounds.
The linesman's gesture was very firm and unquestionable.
