Three shots, three transitions between offense and defense. Every time you touch the ball, you can clearly see the reversal of the situation. Compared with singles, the doubles game is more tense, exciting and closer. The ups and downs of the climax come one after another, so that
Court No. 2 fell into a brief suffocation.
Hold your breath and stare.
In his sight, Gawain was still running wildly towards the bottom line.
Get in place, turn around, stand...
A series of small steps were constantly adjusted on the spot, and with a quick sweep of sight, the Bryan brothers were dislocated one after another, tightly covering the frontcourt. Even though they entered a defensive state, they did not retreat, and still firmly controlled the frontcourt.
Press position.
what to do?
The 180-degree turn made Gawain a little dizzy, but the entire stadium space was still firmly imprinted in his mind. There was no more room for thinking in the flash of lightning. He had to make a decision immediately and implement it resolutely.
One turn, one swing.
Kick!
Swing out the backhand with both hands quickly like a whip, keep the forearm straight, push and flick the wrist in front of the net at the moment of touching the ball, and follow the swing with the body forward——
Change line.
In the doubles arena, Gawain's iconic two-handed backhand straight sword was unsheathed, and the tennis ball turned into a stream of light and jumped straight out. Then Gawain followed the batting action and quickly stepped forward, maintaining
Visual pressure on the physical level, and the push of force driven by the body.
boom!
The tennis ball flies quickly.
The one standing on this side is Bob.
Bob maintained a high degree of concentration. He had just started his steps and was about to cover his left side. However, he found that the ball was coming in a straight line. He kicked off his left leg and sprinted horizontally towards the right side after the second start.
Bob is left-handed, so the right side is his backhand position. He grabbed the racket with both hands and stretched it out. He tried to seal the net with a diving gesture, but soon he found that his efforts were in vain.
Free!
In the entire court blocked by the Bryan brothers, the line of sky along the outside of the doubles line was the only gap in the tight defense. Bob was so focused on the court that he ignored the narrow position of his backhand.
space.
As a result, Gawain discovered this and caught him.
In the chaos of war, Gawain desperately drew out a straight line that shocked everyone, and then——
Tear.
The line of defense is torn apart.
Pianruo, Jinghong!
kill!
The mustard-yellow stream of light hit the ground and landed in the blind corner of the bottom line of the doubles line area. Bob's belated flight to save the ball was still a step too late.
Score!
Save break point!
Wonderful!
"Bang bang!"
"Ouch!"
Gawain beat his chest hard twice, opened his arms, and the sound of wolf howling instantly erupted.
Then you can see Tim quickly turning around, facing Gawain, clenching his fists, and the wolf howl breaks through his throat with passion and is released.
boom!
At the same time, the audience burst into cheers. Even passers-by who knew nothing about tennis could deeply feel the excitement of this round. The whistles and applause were mixed in, making the whole world shine in an instant.
Everyone is immersed in the excitement of competitive sports.
It is not only exciting, but also explosive. Just like a commercial blockbuster, there are explosions, special effects, twists and climaxes, and the popcorn entertainment effect is full.
And it’s not just the audience?
The Bryan brothers also exchanged a look, a little helpless, but the corners of their mouths couldn't help but raise, and their eyes shone with light. Even though they were opponents, they also admitted:
This point is indeed wonderful!
The most important thing is that Gao Wen's handling of the key shots was not a doubles mentality at all, but a singles mode. Instead, it tore apart the Bryan brothers' defense.
Brothers Bryan stood in front of the net, their eyes touching Gawain's, beckoning them over, and then the four of them high-fived each other in celebration in front of the net, their smiles fully blooming——
It was a wonderful round, jointly contributed by both parties, and they should naturally enjoy the applause together.
Gao Wen and Tim used an incredible performance to successfully save the break point, and with this momentum, they got the game point in one go. With Gao Wen's high-pressure ball in front of the net, they scored and saved it amidst the roaring applause of the audience.
The serve continued the suspense of the first set.
This game can be regarded as a microcosm of the entire game.
The Gao Wen combination performed very well, although the cooperation was not tacit, and the two players' understanding of doubles competition was too green and too simple; but with the backing of strong personal abilities, they were always able to accomplish incredible things in crisis situations.
Return the ball to reverse the passive situation and form a confrontation.
The Bryan brothers performed equally well, with rough and fine hitting, tactical coordination with a tacit understanding, and perfect transitions between offense and defense. They showed their opponents the correct way to open a doubles match with practical actions. The twins, who have been partners for many years, were on the court.
Complementarity is the most important pillar of each other.
In the first set, Gao Wen's team encountered break points in four consecutive service games. The first three times they successfully maintained serve, but they could not escape the fourth time.
"6:4", Brother Bryan took the first set.
In the second set, Gao Wen's combination seemed to gradually develop a tacit understanding, and the results were immediately achieved through competition and training. The two sides were in a stalemate all the way to the tiebreaker.
In the tie-break, Gao Wen and his team took the lead in completing a mini-break, but the Bryan brothers quickly gained a foothold and not only quickly completed the break, but also scored consecutively strongly all the way, truly showing their heritage as the world's number one.
After gaining an advantage, it continued until the end.
The Bryan brothers won the first match point with their iconic volley at the net, and the final score was fixed at "7:4".
In this way, the Bryan brothers defeated Gao Wen and Tim in straight sets and advanced to the third round. Gao Wen and Tim, the two young temporary partners, still failed to continue their upset. In the real doubles masters
Defeated in front of me.
It’s not a fair loss.
After the game, the Bryan brothers stood in front of the net waiting for their young opponents. They saw Gawain and Tim whispering to each other for a few words, and then they could see the two people taking a few steps back in the opposite direction to distance themselves.
Then he charged forward, jumped high, and celebrated with a chest bump——
This is the iconic celebration of the Bryan brothers. Obviously, Gawain and Tim paid tribute to the two brothers in this way.
When the Bryan brothers saw this scene, they both laughed. They have been on the tour for nearly twenty years and have encountered countless opponents, but every game is brand new, encountering new opponents, and making new friends.
It is also one of the most interesting parts of the sport of tennis.
Bob and Mike exchanged glances, and then they both beat their chests and howled like wolves, responding to their opponents in the most direct way.
When the four people left the court, their brows were filled with cheerful smiles.
Maybe the game is over, but a new friendship has just begun.
