Bending over, bending the knees, standing on tiptoes, shaking, holding the racket tightly with both hands, I found that the force was a little too strong, so I unconsciously let go of my fingertips.
Gawain, all attention is focused on Djokovic.
Djokovic is hitting the ball again, endlessly.
But not only was Gao Wen not irritable, he was also very happy, because it meant that Djokovic's hands were tight and this was an opportunity for him.
Pah. Pah. Pah.
Sixteen times, seventeen times, Djokovic finally stopped shooting the ball and threw the tennis ball high, which also made Gawain start.
Tap tap tap.
Tap tap tap.
He continuously took steps to adjust his center of gravity, and the next second he saw the tennis ball rushing toward the inside corner, but its flight path was slightly closer to the body.
Close to the forehand?
Gao Wen stepped forward immediately. Although the first serve was successful, it was obvious that Djokovic did not use all his strength to fight for the first serve. The main thing was to ensure the success rate and focus on control, so speed and power were both important.
Usually, this also gives Gawain an opportunity to raise his hand to grab a serve.
but!
Spin!
The moment the racket touched the ball, Gawain realized that Djokovic had cleverly hidden the spin. The strong topspin caused the height of the tennis ball after it bounced to the ground to exceed Gawain's prediction. Simply put, the direct result was a hit.
The point is slightly staggered, half a hand higher than Gawain expected.
awkward!
Don’t underestimate half a palm. In fact, the error is already very large. If you don’t control it enough, the tennis ball may be knocked away directly, especially when Gawain can’t wait to grab the return of serve. Obviously, this is what Djokovic is aiming for.
The hidden trap laid by Gawain's tactics of grabbing and receiving the serve.
Jump! Hit! Turn!
Gawain had no room for hesitation and regret. The entire batting movement was still swung out coherently, but the speed of the forearm swing was still forcibly increased, trying to suppress the rotation with speed, and then the turning movement of the entire upper body was very complete and sufficient.
, slamming down the tennis ball like a baseball home run.
state.
Speed, yes.
Power, yes.
Angle, none.
Depth, none.
This was a regular return of serve. Djokovic’s serve was calculated by Gao Wen. Finally, Gao Wen tried to hit a deep center area with a backhand, suppressing Djokovic’s to some extent.
I returned the ball on the next shot, but the result was still unsatisfactory.
The center is indeed the center, but the parabolic control is ineffective. The tennis ball lands near the bottom line of the service area, which is far from the ideal state; and the angle is not well controlled. It should be slightly closer to press the backhand in a different position.
Finally, there is the well-behaved middle lane.
Djokovic was already ready to catch the ball after just two small adjustments. Then Gao Wen returned the ball with good speed and power, but the threat to Djokovic from such a hit was very limited, very, very
.
Kick off. Turn. Hit the ball.
Djokovic hits the ball very easily. It can be clearly seen that the angle and speed of the backhand shot increase instantly. A skateboard shot with the help of force has already sent the tennis ball towards the diagonal bottom line.
past.
Although the flying speed is not very fast, it can be seen that Djokovic has added a lot of top spin to increase the safety factor. The main thing is to control the landing point of the shot, but Djokovic's landing point control is so good that it takes a
The blind spot falls exactly on the blind spot.
Tap tap tap.
Tap tap tap!
Gao Wen moved in small steps continuously, constantly adjusting his hitting point during the rapid movement. In fact, the moment Djokovic took the shot, he had already completed the idea and figured out how to hit the ball next.
The adjustments have already been made in advance.
Then--
Standing firm and steady, you can clearly see the high spin of the tennis ball after it lands on the ground. Because Djokovic wanted a blind corner and landed with an external spin, he rushed forward fiercely; but Gawain not only did not retreat back
Finally, the swing speed increased significantly.
The strength goes up from the calf all the way up along the muscle lines. The feet firmly grasp the ground like tree roots. After smooth turning movements, the powerful striking movements are completed by swinging the arms with both hands.
This time, Gao Wen deliberately did not grab the rising point, but delayed it a little. According to the regular hitting rhythm, he hid the intention of hitting the backhand with both hands, but by increasing the swing speed, the racket head speed was
Brush up forcefully, and then slam into the wall head-on.
boom!
The collision of strength and strength caused the ball string to vibrate violently. When the tennis ball bounced off the ground and squeezed his body, Gawain used his strength to collide head-on, overturning the situation and taking the initiative into his hands. Then you can see
Gawain moved his wrist slightly outward, and his arm immediately completed the action of quickly closing the door and closing the photo!
There was no sloppiness in the entire clean movement, and the tennis ball was sent back in a flash.
Whoosh!
straight line!
lightning!
Dead spot!
Like a sniper, Gawain aimed at the opposite blind spot in the straight direction and pulled the trigger. A murderous look burst out in his eyes, and then the tennis ball turned into a streak of light and shadow and hit it directly.
Powerful!
When Djokovic realized Gao Wen's intention to hit the ball, everything was too sudden and too strong, so that he had just started to focus and realized that it was too late.
boom!
The decisive attack filled the air with a sense of desperation, sweeping thousands of troops to end this point! At the critical moment, Gawain showed unparalleled strength and domineering!
"Game, high!"
Successful break!
With Djokovic holding two set points at "40:15", Gao Wen scored four consecutive points to break Djokovic's serve to win the set, and the third set was evenly divided.
How did this happen?
How did this happen?
"Break!"
"Gawain broke Djokovic's serve to win the set!"
ah!
On the court, Gawain clenched his fists and roared, his face flushed with incredible strength and momentum, and he surged towards Djokovic on the opposite side of the court, showing the passion of youth.
At the same time, the commentators in the media center stood up one by one, holding their heads and exclaiming, no one could believe that all this was actually happening in front of their eyes; but before they had time to make a sound, the next second they were already
The mighty sound of Ser-Ashe Stadium drowned and interrupted.
Different reactions made the entire stadium boil. The voices calling Djokovic's name were intertwined with the voices cheering for Gawain.
In the third set, Djokovic once broke Gao Wen's two serve games and was far ahead. Almost everyone thought that there was no suspense in the third set. However, Gao Wen turned the tide on the edge of the cliff and brought the two sides back together.
At the same starting line, the suspense of victory and defeat has returned to the table——
Literally.
Not only Arthur Ashe Stadium, but all the spectators watching the game in front of the TV at this moment were stunned. The hearts of Djokovic's fans were on the verge of bursting, while the minds of the spectators in China fell into a frenzy and lost the ability to think.
