The referee's voice announcing the score calmly came from the microphone. Gao Wen spread his legs widely, using the core strength of his waist and abdomen to control the balance of his body. Panting, he looked at the other side of the court, where Saramento was clenching his fists and jumping.
Celebrate and keep cheering for yourself.
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
The Trojans fans were cheering loudly because Saramento had just saved a break point on his serve for the second time.
"Ah, it's a pity. It's just a little bit close. It's just a ball short of going out of bounds. It's just a little bit short. Gawain's backhand straight line can form a winning point."
Sofal knows that Gawain's backhand straight line played very well in the last game with the help of God, and became the key to finally defeating Harris. However, the opponents are different, and the quality of the return and the hitting line are naturally different. The same
The challenges faced by backhand straight lines are also different and cannot be compared.
Sampras nodded slightly in agreement.
"Saramento's defensive coverage is really good, forcing Gao Wen to open a wider angle when returning the ball. This backhand straight shot is also aimed at the sideline. If it goes in, it will be the winning point, Gao Wen
I was able to break Saramento’s serve for the first time in the whole match, but unfortunately, it was just a little bit short.”
A little bit, but even a slight difference is still out of bounds.
Standing on the court, Gawain still had a trace of regret in his eyes, looking at the landing point reluctantly, panting like an ox.
Today, the game against Salamento was a brand new experience. It was the first time that he played as the team's first single player. However, the novelty did not last long. The fierce and difficult game forced Gao Wen to completely concentrate.
Get into the game.
Saramento's absolute strength is actually not top-notch, and his thin body is much thinner than Gao Wen. The limitations of his physical talent are visible to the naked eye, but Saramento can reach the top ten in the United States and become a
The Trojans' top singles player is naturally not a soft persimmon.
His playing style is very special.
To put it simply, it is sticky.
Although his offensive firepower is insufficient and his forehand can hardly produce any force, in terms of strength, he is even inferior to Gao Wen three months ago; but his basic skills are very solid, his forehand and backhand are relatively average, and he has the ability to withstand blows.
Most importantly, the defense was very, very good.
On the one hand, it has good prediction, high foot coverage rate, large coverage area, and can reach almost every corner.
On the other hand, he has a good touch. Whether facing flat shots or spins, he can wrap the tennis ball, which also allows the tennis ball to always return to the opponent's court smoothly.
That is, don't drop the ball.
No matter what ball comes, Saramento can always save the field as much as possible, even if it is extremely passive, forcing the offensive team to take one more shot, and one more shot.
At first glance, there is really nothing interesting about Salamento's game, that is, he just runs all over the court and causes the opponent to make mistakes, which are even ugly, but! He can win.
In fact, this style is also found in the professional tour, and French player Gilles-Simon is like this.
With a height of 183 centimeters but only 65 kilograms, he can be said to be very thin. His offense is weak and he relies entirely on defense. However, at the end of 2008, he successively defeated Nadal, Federer and Djokovic, the three top players in the world.
Three top players, and at the beginning of 2009, the world ranking reached a career-high sixth.
In other words, Simon is also one of the top professional players.
Facing a player like Simon, it is difficult to win with an unreasonable single attack. You still need to build an advantage through patient layout of the return line; otherwise, if you just rely on two-shot and three-shot attacks to score, you will end up losing to yourself.
The result of being impetuous is that the more aggressive you are, the more mistakes you make.
Of course, there is no comparison between the world's top defensive capabilities of Saramento and Simon, but the playing styles are indeed similar.
Originally, Gawain was not the type to attack with fluency and eloquence; moreover, Saramento's strength was indeed higher than the current Gawain, so it was difficult for Gawain to open up the situation, and the game fell into a trap from the beginning.
In a tangled stalemate, neither side was able to establish an advantage in the opening game.
After coming on the stage, Saramento won the coin guessing game. He chose the venue, which is to receive the serve. His playing style can be seen from the details——
No matter what, everything starts with defense, which is the part he is most familiar with and confident about.
Soon, Gawain discovered Saramento's difficulty.
Salamento can cover the usual line combinations and offensive lines in time. Not only can it return the ball as soon as possible, but it can also find opportunities in the defense, suddenly attack with a sneak attack, and switch from defense to offense——
Even if the offensive quality is not high and cannot directly form a winning point, it can still interrupt Gao Wen's batting and running rhythm, thereby regaining the advantage.
Of course, Salamento's weaknesses are also very obvious. On the one hand, the offensive quality is not high, and it is difficult for him to directly score winning points. Every point is a tug-of-war.
On the other hand, the defensive quality is not yet top-notch. Some defensive returns are excellent and can contain subsequent attacks; some returns are of mediocre quality, basically returning the tennis ball to the court without any thought or purpose.
It means to let the opponent take one more shot no matter what.
It is precisely because of this that in Salamento's serve game, he can often create more scoring opportunities by taking advantage of his own service advantage; while in Gao Wen's serve game, he can hold on to the score and try his best to win.
It may consume Gawain's physical strength and energy, gradually eroding his advantage.
Gao Wen once caught up to a deuce in Salamento's serve, but was never able to get a break point, let alone break Salamento's serve.
In turn, Saramento got five break points in Gao Wen's service game, but all of them were saved by Gao Wen's wonderful performance at critical moments.
As a result, neither side was able to break serve. Instead, with each holding the serve, they struggled all the way to "5:4". Gao Wen, who served first, had the score advantage. Currently, Saramento's serve was going on.
Game, if Gao Wen can break serve in this game, he can directly win the first set.
really!
Under pressure, Saramento also experienced fluctuations. After the two sides were evenly divided, Gao Wen got the break point for the first time in the game, which was equivalent to a score.
However, Saramento still clung to the score at the critical moment and saved break points twice, especially the second break point.
Gao Wen had created an opportunity through patient dealings, but Saramento's footwork covering the entire court still affected him. His last backhand shot went straight out of bounds, and he still missed the break point. This really made Gao Wen frustrated and frustrated.
depressed.
calm!
Gao Wen kept telling himself that in a tennis match, one point is one point. No matter whether you win or lose, don't let the emotion of this point affect the next point, because winning or losing one point cannot determine the direction of the entire game. Even if you win the game,
It's possible to lose the victory, that's what it's all about.
