Match Point: Chapter 1241 break out

Chapter 1242

Generally speaking, Bob's serve is the style of a typical hard-court master, vigorously flat hitting; but as a master serve, Bob also has the stunt of pressing the bottom of the box.

At this time, it is the best opportunity to come up with unique skills.

So, Bob sacrificed his speed, chose the landing point, and hit the T point accurately with one shot, using the court to the extreme within the space of the first area——

inner corner.

Dimitrov, who was in charge of receiving the serve, was very embarrassed.

In fact, judging from Dimitrov’s ability, it’s not a problem to catch the ball. His footsteps are light and his one-handed backhand is flexible. Compared with Gawain, he can gain more space for hitting the ball when he receives the serve from the backhand position. ;The real problem lies in power and control, and the hitting is unstable.

In Nadal's match against Federer, he occasionally chose the inside corner to suppress Federer's backhand, and then create the effect that Federer hits off the racket.

Of course, Federer hit the ball off the racket. In addition to the lack of stability in the one-handed backhand, Nadal's strong rotation is also an important reason.

Bob's serve does not have such spin.

but see-

Dimitrov took a horizontal step. Although his footsteps were not fully in place, he still hit the ball with a one-handed backhand.

Wow!

The left leg slides horizontally, stirring up a wave of red soil, just like surfing.

ah!

Dimitrov was also aware of Bob's tactical intention to suppress his backhand serve, so he made adjustments accordingly—

Actively squat down to the center of gravity, and use the strength of the calf to support the body firmly; then, the strength explodes from bottom to top, and the turning movement is driven.

The one-handed backhand instantly increases the speed of the racket head, exerts force forcefully, improves the quality of the return serve as much as possible, and launches a counterattack head-on.

Deep in the dantian, a roar erupted.

However!

The space for hitting the ball was still suppressed by Bob's serve, so that the tennis ball bounced off without being able to fully swing the racket and exert full force.

The batting effect is unsatisfactory.

The arc of Dimitrov's return is slightly higher, and then you can see Mike in front of the net trying to grab the net.

Continuously adjusting small steps, Mike was looking for opportunities, but Mike immediately realized that Dimitrov's return arc was higher than expected, and the hitting line was slightly deviated-obviously, he also considered the net. Mike in front deliberately pulled the angle of the slash a little wider.

Chances are bad.

Mike stepped back again, out of the way, and Dimitrov's shot went over the net and back to the baseline.

Bob quickly adjusted his footsteps, because he was left-handed, so he was also in the backhand position at this time, and quickly swung his one-handed backhand.

Compared with those top one-handed backhand masters, Bob's one-handed backhand lacks some explosive power and control, which is obviously not suitable for competition in the singles arena, but in the doubles arena, the one-handed backhand can often win for Bob. Some batting space and time for a quick shot.

The tennis ball, further tearing apart the angle, flew towards the large diagonal triangle area quickly and urgently—

Bob, attack.

In fact, this point is not common in doubles matches, because real doubles experts are used to solving problems in front of the net, and their baseline hitting ability is far inferior to that of singles players. Transition shots and control lines are the mainstays, and rarely take the initiative to attack.

Of course, "rarely" does not mean that they will not. If the right opportunity arises, they will still choose to attack. What's more, the Bryan brothers are also from the NCAA.

Bob's one-handed backhand aimed at Dimitrov's right corner of the bottom line and rushed past. The tactical intention was very clear—

On the previous shot, Dimitrov was hitting the ball with a backhand. Because he was suppressed by the serve, his center of gravity sank and his footsteps were chaotic, so his footsteps were still adjusting at this time.

With this shot, Bob moved Dimitrov to the right forehand position, further destroying Dimitrov’s center of gravity and footwork. Once the quality of Dimitrov’s return drops, Mike will immediately To volley in front of the net, the whole tactic is also a series of rings, continuous pressure.

Gao Wen's pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately noticed Bob's hitting the ball and Mike's footsteps.

make a prompt decision.

Step up.

Obviously, the Bryan brothers made adjustments based on the position of the double bottom line of the Gawain combination, aimed at Dimitrov to concentrate their firepower, and then tried to end the point through doubles.

For the key point, the Bryan brothers also worked hard to press the bottom of the box, and started to lay out from the serve. If Dimitrov hadn't just torn the line of the return serve, I am afraid that Mike would have grabbed the net and ended the battle directly.

Therefore, Gao Wen immediately realized that they could no longer wait passively, they had to break the deadlock and disrupt the Bryan brothers' tactical layout.

Tread.

Gawain's brain remained awake, and the entire tactic was executed resolutely. Three steps and two steps later, he had already entered the teeing area in the blink of an eye.

The stadium is changing rapidly.

Dimitrov's footsteps were in a hurry, but he didn't have time to stand firm, so he couldn't exert force with his forehand and could only hit a shot in a regular manner.

slash.

walk through.

Tennis, back to Bob's position again, because Dimitrov spent his energy on Mike, so the line of the shot was well controlled, and there was no chance for Mike to grab the net; especially Mike noticed Gawain who was hitting the net, Feeling apprehensive, he paused for a moment and missed the opportunity.

In an instant, Bob had to hit the ball.

Bob also noticed Gao Wen, but his on-the-spot tactics and basic technical skills were really insufficient. Although he wanted to change, he couldn't think of how to change and couldn't execute too many changes. After a little hesitation, the ball was already shot—

slash.

Another slash again.

Like most players from North American training, when they are at a loss, exerting strength is the best choice and the only choice.

Bob, work hard.

Switching footsteps continuously, switching from backhand to forehand, Bob hits the ball hard with the forehand, trying to form an impact with strength.

But the key is:

How to impact? Hit Gawain or Dimitrov? What effect is the shock trying to create?

Bob didn't have a clear idea at all. In fact, this is what people in the industry call "ball quotient". There is indeed a lack of players from the North American training system.

Bob's shot ~www.mtlnovel.com~ was blindly powerful, but lacked tactical intentions, and it flew over the net in a blink of an eye.

Gawain appeared.

a stride.

One stepped forward.

Forehand, block, swing, hit.

boom!

Gawain noticed Bob's strength, and also noticed that Bob's hitting line lacked ideas, so he immediately took a step across:

Grab the net.

Mike had been trying to **** the net but failed. Instead, Gao Wen took the lead in snatching the net.

Tennis ball, hit the wall directly.

Just after crossing the net, he rebounded and returned to the Bryan brothers' field.

But are Brother Bryan really that easy to defeat?

Obviously not.

The greatest doubles player in history, even if he is not good at clay, is not so unbearable. If the bottom line is not good, at least there is no problem in front of the net.
