After gaining a foothold in the second set, Gao Wen gradually found a way to deal with Mayer. Although it took a little more effort, at least his thinking became clear. Naturally, when the third set begins, he will be more confident and determined.
Overall, in the first two sets, Gao Wen's state was still a bit "boring", but in the third set, the whole game opened up.
It's not that it's reflected in the score, because Mayer's performance is still stable. After all, this year is the peak of his condition, and his confidence is sufficient. He will not waver easily, let alone collapse easily. Even after entering the final set, he is still very powerful.
; It is more reflected in the performance of key points. Gao Wen's game temperament is back - although the feel is still not satisfactory.
At the beginning of the deciding set, Gao Wen still served first.
In the first half, the two players each protected each other's serve, and the score remained deadlocked until a "3:3" tie.
In the seventh game, Gao Wen failed to score on the first serve, and Mayer took advantage of the situation to get two consecutive break points. As a result, Gao Wen quickly improved his condition at the critical moment, winning four consecutive points to reverse and secure serve, and three of the four points were won.
It was won with tenacious defensive counterattacks, and the entire situation changed subtly.
Immediately afterwards, in Mayer's service game, Gao Wen performed well at the game point twice, abruptly bringing the score back to level, and then grabbed a second serve to make Mayer hit the forehand into the net and get it.
Break point, and withstood Mayer's three-board attack in the next point. Finally, he used a small backhand slash to force Mayer to lose his position. His backhand cut rarely appeared in the net, completing the break.
Then, Gao Wen ushered in the service victory.
"40:30".
The two sides are still entangled, one point for you, one point for me, sitting in rows to eat the fruit. Every time, Gao Wen scored in the first area, and Mayer scored in the second area. However, Gao Wen still successfully got the match point, but then in the second area, Gao Wen scored.
This point in the district, but I don’t know whether Gao Wen can break the scoring pattern in this game.
One shot, no progress.
Second shot, pursuit.
Back and forth, Gao Wen and Mayer once again formed a stalemate in the round ball. Neither side found a good opportunity. The back and forth hitting was unable to disrupt the opponent's defensive rhythm, so that the whole game was a see-saw.
Fourteen beats.
At this time, Mayer took the lead in changing the line with his forehand and suppressed Gao Wen's backhand with an active forehand. However, Gao Wen, who had completed his prediction in advance, rushed over and hit an unconventional skateboard with his backhand.
The small slash finally disrupted Mayer's movement balance, and Mayer was already outside the singles line.
Tap tap tap.
Tap tap tap.
Mayer ran at full speed, and before his steps were out of position, he cut a shot in time with a one-handed backhand to complete the defense; at the same time, he also made a risky attempt in defense:
Shorten the ball.
Strictly speaking, this is not an "adventure", because small ball tactics in front of the net are a very important part of clay court games, and Mayer is a typical clay court player. Even on hard courts, Mayer often chooses small balls.
Change the situation.
one look--
Kick, kick, kick!
Gawain started immediately, his lateral movement stopped and turned, and he was already running forward. The effect of Mayer's adventurous change could be seen in a flash; however, Gawain always remained vigilant and was not caught.
It was completely passed by, but I still managed to catch up in time.
Mayer's small ball was of average quality. Gao Wen slapped it with his forehand and chipped a small ball back. In a straight line, he completed the playback steal from center to center.
Kick, kick, kick!
This time, it was Mayer's turn to run at full speed. He stared at the tennis ball intently, his movement speed increased to the extreme, and in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of the net from the baseline.
It can be seen at this time that Gao Wen's touch is still not good, the quality of the replayed ball is average, and the control of the line and arc is lacking. This also gives Mayer time to complete the defense with Hot Wheels.
, but because the sprint was so fierce that the hitting space was squeezed.
One pick, one push.
Mayer had no time to think, so he barely had time to push back. He had no time to worry about the parabola of his return, because he needed to brake urgently to control his body and avoid touching the net.
Gao Wen stood in front of the website, very relaxed.
Because the quality of Mayer's return was very poor, with mediocre spin and arc, Gao Wen flicked Mayer's return ball with a forehand and pulled Mayer's return ball into a full parabola, high and flying over Mayer.
The top of Yell's head flew steadily towards the deep area of the baseline.
"ah!"
Mayer let out a shout, not because of anger, but because of the excessive force of the second start after the emergency brake, and then he rushed forward again, sprinting at full speed like the final of the 100-meter race in the Olympics. At this time, there was no time.
Looking back and considering Gao Wen's position in space, completing the ball touch is the only goal.
Kick, kick, kick!
Strong wind, hunting!
Mayer was already flying up, with his upper body fully extended to gain some space for himself. Because the sprinting speed was so fierce that his steps staggered a little, but in the end -
Arrived!
Mayer used his forehand to make a fish-out-of-the-sea move, barely fishing the tennis ball back. He just wanted to return to the court and could no longer think about anything else.
Huh!
Amidst the exclamations of the entire audience, the tennis ball flew over and crashed into Gawain's position, basically in a straight line.
Gawain was completely focused, lowered his center of gravity, and carefully cut the knife horizontally again, pulling and rubbing:
The tennis ball returned to Mayer's court, and the ball was still a small ball.
Huh!
The audience exclaimed one after another because they saw Mayer turn around and start running again, still not giving up.
Moreover, the all-round sprint of the return run truly demonstrated Mayer's solid basic skills, especially the endurance and tenacity of the clay-court players, as if all the winds in the world were rushing towards Mayer.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The next second, when Mayer was staggering and almost falling, he barely moved forward with his right hand, and then the tennis ball actually flew back again.
Although it had no power, no spin, no speed and no arc, and was basically a vegetable, Mayer finally saved the tennis ball.
Huh!
The diamond court was filled with exclamations, mixed with laughter and whistles, which was a bit lively.
But Gawain's attention was still completely concentrated, and he hit it lightly with his forehand, pulling out a high, round and full parabola, and flew back.
Mayer's center of gravity was messed up. He jumped on the spot and tried to intercept, but failed to make contact. Gao Wen's parabola was drawn very beautifully, which also forced Mayer to turn back and run for the third time. It was just like in daily training.
"Suicide" running, and then sprinting back to the bottom line.
and!
Caught up!
In the midst of the commotion, Mayer caught up with the tennis ball again, threw his whole body, barely hit the tennis ball back once, and tried to pull up the parabola, but there was no time, there was really no time, he just watched.
Watching the tennis ball rush towards the net and slowly fall.
