After the seventeenth shot, Djokovic finally threw the ball.
Second District.
interior angle.
One shot, in.
Standing on the edge of the cliff, Djokovic once again burned the small universe. An inside angle shot with a speed of 197 kilometers per hour entered the zone accurately and landed very close to the T point.
Gawain began to fly. Because he couldn't move his feet in time, he could only rely on the extension of his upper body to barely move a gear, and the whole person flew into the air.
One bump and one rub.
I barely managed to hit the tennis ball back, but I could tell by looking at the flying parabola that the quality was average and the impact point was not pressed deep enough.
I don’t know if Djokovic will take advantage of the situation, but even if he doesn’t, Djokovic will definitely launch an attack.
One meal, one turn.
Gao Wen then moved laterally to the left, stood in the backhand position, and accurately waited for Djokovic's forehand to attack.
Usually, Djokovic basically uses "roll", "pocket" and other methods when hitting the forehand and backhand. This also means that the absolute speed and power of tennis are not strong, and can often form on the defensive end.
A perfect package to handle any incoming ball; but lacks a bit of impact on the offensive end.
This time, it was different. Djokovic hit a flat shot with full power. Even if Gao Wen successfully touched the ball, the feel of the shot was slightly different.
really!
In a hurry, Gao Wen failed to complete his swing, and his return point control was not satisfactory, and then Djokovic's turbulent hitting hit the ball again.
Moreover, Djokovic and Gauvin have chosen to repeat the stalemate on placement points several times before. The confrontation of "forehand VS forehand" or "backhand VS backhand" runs throughout.
This time, Djokovic grabbed an ascending point, with a backslash on the first shot and a slash on the second shot, covering the entire court from backhand to forehand.
Keywords: change.
Generally speaking, this is basically the case for professional players. The more critical the moment, the more critical the moment. They always have the habit of returning to the hitting area they are most familiar with and comfortable in. This is human nature, because the most familiar is often
Best at.
Including the Big Four are no exception.
Like tonight, in the fifth set, Djokovic became more and more conservative with his shots. He took a board on his forehand and a board on his backhand, going back and forth, endlessly.
But the biggest difference between the Big Four and ordinary players is:
If necessary, they dare to change and seize opportunities at critical moments.
If you catch the key point, one or two points, it is enough, and then the outcome will be overturned.
At this time, that's it.
Djokovic, within his comfort zone, broke the batting pattern of the fifth set, leaving Gawain passive——
Previously, it was Gawain who took the lead in attacking, but now it is Djokovic who takes the lead.
Here, Gawain has noticed Djokovic's change of formation immediately. So, how should he respond?
In fact, running back and forth between the left and right ends of the baseline is a basic skill in tennis. It is not difficult to run back and forth while maintaining inertia. The really difficult thing is to make sudden stops and turns.
Therefore, if Gao Wen is willing, he can continue to struggle with Djokovic at the bottom line, but the problem is:
In the last minute and forty beats, Gao Wen's physical energy consumption was more serious than that of Djokovic, and his breathing never adjusted, which also hid some hidden dangers.
At this point, Gauvin can no longer continue to play with Djokovic for 40 beats. Djokovic wants to change, so Gauvin also needs to change.
While running wildly, Gawain noticed Djokovic's position with his peripheral vision——
No internet access.
Gao Wen was a little surprised. He thought Djokovic should have gone online to press, but it turned out not to be the case. Does this mean that Djokovic's strategy is still a tug-of-war that sticks to the bottom line?
Since Djokovic did not go online, Gao Wen lured Djokovic online. The main purpose was to disrupt his opponent's plan.
The steps are in place!
On the forehand, he did not hide his intention to hit the ball. From the beginning of the initiating action, he raised the ball high and cut the ball past.
Huh!
There were shouts of exclamation in the sky above the stadium.
Gao Wen's tactical choice was very sudden and unexpected. In fact, his steps were in place in time and he did not lose his position. He could hit the ball with his forehand, but Gao Wen chose the small ball to break the deadlock. It was indeed very surprising.
Moreover, the quality of the balls is average.
Djokovic's continuous forehand attacks were solid and fierce, taking full initiative. From a technical perspective, this was not the best time to release small balls.
For small balls, the important thing is control and unloading. However, if the power is too fierce, there is no control at all, and effective unloading cannot be achieved, then the small ball may become an opportunity for the opponent to attack.
This time, Gawain was not able to release enough power, so the arc and landing point of the ball were not satisfactory.
Djokovic's chance!
However--
Like the audience, Gao Wen's tactical choices also exceeded Djokovic's prediction, so that the timing of entering the baseline was slightly slower.
However, Djokovic's pace was still very calm. He entered the baseline, stood in the midfield, backhanded with both hands, and swept the shot diagonally to complete the hit.
Like a home run.
boom!
The problem is not with this shot, but with the next one.
Djokovic knows that everything happens for a reason, and abnormal things happen for a reason.
Gao Wen chose to release the ball when he was relatively passive but still had room for adjustment. What was his purpose?
Lure Djokovic online? Or something else?
So, how should Djokovic choose? Because he knows that his return has not grabbed the rising point, and there should be no problem with Gao Wen's defensive ability, so the key should be the connection of the next attack.
This is the charm of gaming and layout.
Internet access?
Not online?
Becker and Djokovic haven't cooperated long enough, and now Djokovic lacks enough confidence in his skills in front of the net.
At the critical moment, a little hesitation will make the movement of the footsteps a little bit lacking.
Then, Gawain's return ball had already hit him.
Backhand, slash, deep zone.
Just three keywords can be seen, almost targeting Djokovic's stance.
In the flash of lightning, Djokovic retreated in small steps, and finally returned to his more confident bottom line. With his body being squeezed, he used a two-handed backhand to show the style of the world's number one.
Although his hands were pinned to his body, his upper body got out of the way and he relied on the waving of his forearms to push the tennis ball back along a diagonal line.
Hitting the wall!
What’s important is time and rhythm.
Deep and cunning!
Djokovic adapted at the critical moment and actually controlled the return ball within the large triangle area on the left side of Gaowen's baseline, aiming to hit the ball in the blind spot.
Gao Wen had just regained a slight advantage, but was immediately neutralized by Djokovic, and then Gao Wen fell into a slightly passive situation.
But saw——
Gawain's steps stopped for a moment, his steps were completely firm, he immediately raised his hands for backhand, stared at the ball with a burning gaze, and took the initiative to meet the opponent without fear!
Angry in Dantian!
Shocking!
Mars collided with the earth, hitting it head-on, and thunderous energy exploded from the depths of the soul.
Djokovic immediately felt the threat of nuclear bombs, and all the hairs on his back stood up:
