The force of the calf pushing hard on the ground pushes the body forward through the reaction force, and the explosive feeling of continuous explosion and burning of the muscles is being released continuously. In the eyes and brain, there is only the high-speed flying tennis ball, and even breathing has stopped.
forgotten.
anaerobic state.
Feeling the boiling of his blood carefully, his fast-running brain did not forget it. He glanced at Berdych's position with his peripheral vision:
Return to defense.
As soon as Berdych's footsteps were under control, his body's center of gravity was already moving back to defend, which also meant that Berdych was ready early and waiting for Gawain's next shot.
Break the situation, break the situation, break the situation...
Gawain had only one thought in his mind, and the energy bursting out from the depths of his soul pushed his body to continue running wildly.
Grit your teeth!
Run with all your might!
One step is still a big step away!
It has to be said that Berdych's straight-line fighting really made Gawain extremely embarrassed and squeezed him to the edge of the cliff of passive defense. But it was precisely because of this that the courage and courage to break the cauldron broke out in an instant.
The upper body is completely extended, and the racket becomes an extension of the wrist, and the softness and toughness of the body are fully revealed.
His footsteps were still running wildly, he couldn't exert force, couldn't sprint, and couldn't even turn around. He could only rely on the strength of his upper limbs, swing his forearms quickly, and his head-racing speed increased instantly.
Wrist, push forward.
ah!
Power, explosion.
Ahhhh!
Swing your arms! Push! Rush forward!
Along with the roar released from the depths of the Dantian, all the weight, power and energy are all superimposed, changing the line in an unreasonable way, and using the tenacity of the wrist to complete the package, a flat push, and then the tennis ball is already rubbing against the racket.
The line flew out.
Huh!
The whole audience was shocked.
straight line!
It’s actually a straight line!
"Straight line VS straight line", who would have thought that Gawain and Berdych, like their bodies, lost their center of gravity, both chose to fight for a straight shot.
Moreover, compared to Berdych's straight shot, Gawain's shot was more difficult and dangerous, so that the entire audience widened their eyes and held their breath.
Time seems to have stagnated——
Gawain's inertia of rushing forward could not stop at all, and he continued to rush forward.
Berdych was stopping and turning suddenly, trying to start again, but because he was too eager and in a hurry, his left leg did not touch the ground, and he almost slipped.
But all eyes were fixed on the mustard-yellow tennis ball, which seemed to be the most thrilling arc in the world.
flight.
soar.
Fall.
Then……
"Inside."
Wow!
The entire audience roared and cheered without knowing what they were doing. They couldn't believe their eyes. They were astonished and amazed, praised and crazy, so intertwined.
ah!
Gawain no longer suppressed his emotions, clenched his fists, roared impassionedly and passionately, and smashed his fists against his chest.
The thumping sound was like a loud bell surging in the chest for a long time.
The whole place was boiling.
Because of this point, and even more because of this set.
The last point was unbelievable. Both Berdych and Gao Wen showed unparalleled courage. They both gave it a try and showed their courage and courage in a close encounter——
Every shot is done with all your strength and giving it a try.
However, Gao Wen, who was tougher, bolder and more determined, had the last laugh. "The brave man wins when we meet in a narrow road". He not only broke serve for the first time in the first set, but also took advantage of the situation to win the first set.
It's been a long time, it's really been a long time since, Gao Wen, who stood on the court full of energy, daring to fight, and bursting with blood, appeared again after a long absence.
Since the end of the US Open, his state has never been at its best. Although Gao Wen's tenacity and will are there in the game, and he shows the best mental outlook no matter whether he wins or loses, he is still a little depressed after all, and it seems that he is always missing a little bit of explosiveness and enthusiasm.
Releases, including last week in Valencia as well.
Until today.
Facing Berdych, a direct competitor for a spot in the year-end finals, Gao Wen showed his best form in the past two months, and his dominance also returned.
"ah!"
Gawain's eyes were so bright and brilliant, and the belief in victory and the bloody spirit of fighting burned brightly in the depths of his pupils again.
Across the net, Berdych was panting like an ox, standing with his hands on his hips. It seemed that he needed some time to recover. It could be seen that there was irritability, depression and dissatisfaction in his eyes——
In this point, Berdych's performance was very, very good. From the beginning of the serve to the last shot, his performance was impeccable.
However, this point was still lost.
The confusion in the eyes is all intertwined, but unfortunately, there is no murderous look.
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
The entire stadium was already boiling with excitement, not only for Gawain, but also for Berdych. The excitement of the first set already had the flavor of the year-end finals.
"7:5".
Gao Wen relied on a last-minute break of serve to take the next set.
But will Berdych collapse?
Objectively speaking, it is possible.
Berdych's ability is indeed comprehensive and balanced, but his psychological quality is not top-notch. He has swallowed eggs when facing the Big Four.
Among them, the most famous one is that in the previous 2015 Australian Open, when facing Murray, Berdych won the first set tie-break, but ended up losing the second set, and then lost three consecutive sets and was eliminated.
In this life, there are about three months left before the 2015 Australian Open. I don’t know if the tragedy will happen again, but what is certain is that mental quality is indeed not Berdych’s strong point. If faced with aggressive and continuous pressure from his opponent, Berdych will
This may collapse, and the game may be out of control.
Of course, Berdych is not a hothouse flower.
In the quarterfinals of last year's Rome Masters, facing Djokovic, after losing the first set with a score of "2:6", Berdych launched a desperate counterattack and came back to win in three sets.
What's more, this game is against Gawain, who is younger and does not have the aura of a strong man yet, and Berdych cannot just surrender.
Therefore, Gawain still needs to go all out. Before the end of the match point, everything is possible, and all he needs to do is to kill other possibilities with his own hands.
So, how did Gawain win the first set?
Bottom line deep area suppression.
From the perspective of winning points, the most important thing is that Gao Wen dared to take action at critical moments and dared to break Berdych's conventional judgment, winning a first-line upgrade at the last moment.
But from a tactical perspective, the last two points were all based on deep pressure from the bottom line, or even pressure balls, to limit Berdych's return line. It was not just about squeezing the swing, but more about Berdych.
Conservatism in shot selection - relatively conservative.
When faced with deep zone suppression, Berdych often chooses to push and transition, so he lacks a threatening return, and the return route is easier to predict, which also creates conditions for Gawain's continuous attacks; even if
It is an opportunity to switch from defense to offense, and it is also created by the deep zone suppression of the bottom line.
Facing Berdych, it is not simply about breaking through from the forehand or backhand, nor is it simply about moving up and down the court and changing the rhythm. Because Berdych has no obvious shortcomings, he must suppress the ball in the round and eliminate Berdych.
Attacking opportunities are the key to victory or defeat.
