A straight forehand, a flash of lightning with all your strength, aiming at the bottom corner of the big triangle to attack, a fight under extremely difficult circumstances!
"Out of bounds!"
The bottom line judge's gesture was extremely firm, announcing the tug-of-war of twenty-five shots, and the competition ended with Gao Wen's forehand slightly extending beyond the baseline.
oh!
A little bit, just a little bit closer!
Qiao Wangsheng hugged his head in disbelief and looked at the landing point with a face full of regret. It was just a gap that could not be reached by a finger, and he was just a little short of entering the boundary!
In an instant, the heartbeat stopped, and the entire audience burst into mourning and lamentation.
Simon raised his clenched right fist high and looked at Gawain on the other side of the court with burning eyes. The frustration and depression of missing two consecutive serves to win the game were vented without reservation at this moment, and he was victorious.
Desire sparkles in the eyes.
I have to say that Simon's ability to resist hits at the bottom line is really too strong. He is completely like the second Hewitt!
Qiao Wangsheng looked at Simon in disbelief. He didn't know how Simon could withstand Gawain's multiple consecutive attacks. The dangerous and dangerous scenes were really exciting.
Then, he followed his gaze and looked at Gawain on the other side of the court. His heart curled up into a ball. He didn't dare to breathe or think. He just stared at Gawain intently, but didn't dare to speak for fear of his own death.
A little noise may disrupt Gawain's concentration and ruin the game.
On the one hand, he was nervous, as the game seemed to have no hope, and he was so nervous that he couldn't breathe; but on the other hand, he was looking forward to Gawain's counterattack to create a miracle again.
I couldn't find an accurate way to express my conflicting feelings, so I could only recite silently over and over again in my heart:
Come on Gawain! Come on Gawain!
Without realizing it, his hands had been completely twisted together, and the joints were intertwined. He held them firmly with all his strength, as if he could become Gawain's strength as long as he exerted enough force. He watched in his eyes.
Gawain, who was sweating profusely, showed a sincerity.
On the court, Gawain was out of breath.
Huchihuchi.
"6:3".
Match point appeared, but at this moment, Gao Wen had no thoughts about match point at all. He just stared at Simon, thinking of NCAA's Sacramento in his mind.
When he played against Salamento, Gao Wen thought that just treating Salamento as a junior version of Simon; when he actually faced Simon, Gao Wen realized that the style of play of Salamento and Simon
They are indeed exactly the same, but Simon's difficulty level is definitely not just advanced, but nightmare level.
Covering the entire site, everywhere.
This is the best way to describe Simon.
In fact, many people don't like Simon, because Simon doesn't have any special style of playing. He just seems to be running around the court, defending and defending again. His offensive ability is mediocre. Even if he takes the initiative to attack, it is difficult to be powerful.
of batting, so it all depends on defense.
When it comes to defense, young fans should blurt out Nadal's name.
In fact, Nadal did start with defense, but it was his forehand attack that really made him one of the Big Four. Both Federer and Djokovic have said more than once that Nadal's forehand is the most troublesome.
.
Simon, definitely not Nadal, closer to Simon’s style, should be two-time Grand Slam winner and former world No. 1 “Australian Hare” Hewitt——
A cricket ball that lacks offense relies entirely on tenacious defense to create opportunities; his footsteps cover the entire field, and his prediction ability and defensive touch are second to none. Basically any offense can complete a perfect package. Not only can he defend the ball, but he can also pass high-quality passes.
The defense forces the opponent into trouble.
Either, he was suppressed by Simon's defense; or, he tried to break through Simon's defense and required a heavier attack, aiming at the corners and making mistakes.
This kind of Simon is definitely not comparable to Salamento who relies on patience to force opponents to make mistakes. Therefore, watching Simon's game is a kind of torture. The whole game is passive, but he doesn't lose the ball. He is very sticky and grinding. If he moves, he will
It is a round of more than ten or twenty shots, which can be called the "King of Grinders".
Moreover, the quality of Simon's round balls is far inferior to the offensive and defensive transitions between the Big Four. Bu Bu's shocking long-stroke round ball competition is purely defensive and defensive, until the opponent collapses.
Although Simon was not able to reach the heights of Hewitt, after all, times have changed. Hewitt had occupied the world's No. 1 spot for a long time before Federer's mercury-laden offensive tennis emerged. Simon's highest career ranking was only sixth.
, and the Grand Slam has never been able to break through.
But no one can deny Simon's excellence.
In 2008, Simon made a strong rise and entered the top ten in the world rankings for the first time. He also entered the year-end finals as a substitute. He advanced all the way to the semi-finals. He lost the first set against Djokovic, but unfortunately he was reversed and failed to win.
Able to enter the finals.
At the beginning of 2010, he missed most of the season due to injury, and then entered a long recovery period. Until this year, he fully recovered. The first three Grand Slams all entered the third round, and the US Open even entered the fourth round. He almost lost.
Tying the highest score in a personal Grand Slam——
In 2009, he reached the quarterfinals of the Australian Open.
If someone rolls their eyes because of Simon's style of play, then Simon's results can easily slap him in the face——
The record against the Big Four is one win and eight losses against Nadal, one win and eleven losses against Djokovic, two wins and sixteen losses against Murray, and two wins and seven losses against Federer.
In other words, he is one of the few players who has won against all the Big Four. Although the wins are limited, being able to accomplish this feat is an achievement in itself.
What's more, Simon's record against other masters is also very impressive.
Three wins and four losses against Wawrinka, three wins and five losses against Del Potro, six wins and one loss against Cilic, seven wins and two losses against Monfils, and five wins and four losses against Dimitrov.
In addition, he won all three games against Medvedev and four games against Hewitt.
It can be seen that Simon is particularly good at dealing with power players; and these players are not impatient college students in the NCAA. Simon's ability to use strength and predict attacks is indeed at its peak.
Before the game, Gawain had already prepared for a hard fight. Facing Simon, any duel would not be easy. Most of the time it was a fierce battle. From the mental to the physical to the will level, everything was a test.
However, the actual situation is still beyond imagination.
This time in the Magic City, Simon made a strong comeback. Not only did he defeat Wawrinka in the second round, but he also sent out a donut against Ji Lopez in the first round and Berdych in the third round. The whole performance can be clearly understood.
I saw the feeling at my peak, reaching the semi-finals, relying on my absolute strength.
Prior to this, Simon's best results in the Masters were the three semi-finals in Montreal, Paris and Monte Carlo. This time in Magic City, he also hopes to reach the Masters final for the first time in his career, and the opponent was just two months ago.
Gawain, who has just emerged, is obviously Simon's best opportunity.
