Match Point: Chapter 1464 incomparable

Chapter 1465 Incomparable

Concentrate on, not take your eyes off.

Gao Wen is sprinting at full speed.

In the previous shot, he chose to slice the ball with his backhand. After hitting the ball, Gao Wen followed up immediately to prepare for the follow-up layout.

Footsteps, come to the middle, cut to the baseline, and keep the center of gravity flexible, always pay attention to Wawrinka's state, and have completed the judgment before Wawrinka touches the ball—

From the moving posture to the way of holding the racket to the physical condition, it is obvious that Wawrinka wants to return the ball and push it deep. Small ball control is a high probability event.

Therefore, Gao Wen immediately followed his footsteps and concentrated his attention: Straight line? Or a slash?

Slash!

Wawrinka has almost no space to hit the ball. If he chooses a straight line, it is very likely that the ball will be returned directly to the net; only by jumping into the gap of the diagonal line through the lowest area in the middle of the net can he gain a chance.

tread!

As soon as he kicked, Gawain rushed out.

Then-

The pupils shrank, and it seemed that Philippe Chattier's exclamation could be heard in his ears, and the almost stagnant air was slowly burning.

The small ball is wonderful. Under the extremely passive situation, Wawrinka drew an unimaginable slash with his forehand. The tennis ball flew close to the net and fell into the outside of the front half of Gawain's right side of the service area, leaving room for the ball to return. Making full use of it to the extreme left Gao Wen with an unsolvable problem.

Delicate, delicate, inspired—

Often this is how people feel watching Federer's game. Who would have thought that today they would have a glimpse of the style in Wawrinka's game.

In fact, even Wawrinka himself was so surprised that he staggered on the soles of his feet, and quickly supported the ground with his left hand to control his body.

However, Gawain was not nervous or flustered. Instead, he could hear the sound of adrenaline bubbling above his eardrums, and his heart almost burst.

Wawrinka's return is wonderful, but it is not impeccable:

For one thing, there is no rotation, and the tennis ball is almost straight up and down after landing, which does not make full use of the space on the court.

Second, there is no unloading force, causing the rebound height of the tennis ball to be completely pulled up after it hits the ground, leaving a deadly space for hitting the ball.

In terms of strength, Wawrinka is impeccable; but in terms of technical delicacy and agility, Wawrinka can almost be said to be rough, and the details are clear at a glance.

Perhaps, the tennis net is very, very close, and the vertical distance is indeed utilized to the extreme, but don’t forget that tennis should be three-dimensional. In addition, there are horizontal distances and vertical distances, which still leave space for hitting the ball. .

The blood is burning, but the brain is extremely calm.

Stepping, stomping... sliding.

In one go, Gao Wen had already slid out, but the speed slowed down a little instead—

Avoid touching the net.

Gao Wen was not worried that he would not be able to catch up, but he was worried that he would speed up to the extreme and lose control, so that he would accidentally touch the net and hand over the point and directly hand over the victory of the game. Therefore, he must adjust his steps carefully.

Whizzing.

Red clay, flying.

Gawain leaned forward, and before his feet reached the position, the racket was already extended forward one step ahead, staring intently at the falling tennis ball.

Then.

Just when the tennis ball has just dropped past the position of the net belt, the racket is already in place. With a light pick and a thin swipe, it is like a net pocket catching a dragonfly. When the racket line gently brushes the tennis ball, the delicate and flexible wrist strength is released. The push is done, just one touch and the tennis ball hits back.

Light, graceful, whirling, dancing—

Tennis is flying.

Cross the net, break through the teeing area, and explore the far-reaching area, but you can't feel any force attached to it. The gravity pulls the tennis ball down quickly, and you can even clearly see the trivial smoke and dust flying over the red soil. , lands softly with almost no bounce.

Snapped. Papa papa... Gululu...

Tennis balls, just roll out like that.

In that room, Gao Wen didn't have time to pay attention to where the tennis ball landed. Instead, he supported the ground with his left hand, completed the manual brake, controlled his body, and stopped almost half a palm in front of the net. His muscles tensed and he tried his best. Try to avoid touching any point of the net yourself.

On this side, Wawrinka stood up unsteadily, trying to catch up with Gawain's return ball, but before he could start his footsteps, he realized that it was too late. He could only follow the tennis ball with his eyes, watching the thrilling arc like a dagger. Generally, piercing into the heart of the stadium.

tick. despair.

In the ear, it seems that the crisp sound of the second hand moving forward can be heard.

"40:40".

The score also changed, and another match point was saved again.

hum...buzz...

The Philippe-Chatier Stadium fell into a roar. With an unparalleled performance, Gao Wen once again created a miracle and successfully saved the third match point.

The game is not over—

The pressure vented towards Wawrinka layer by layer.

"Crack! Gawain!"

"Crack! Gawain!"

Not to mention Philippe Chatier's live audience, the staff coming and going in the players' lounge couldn't help but stop their steps, and all their eyes were projected towards the TV screen. No one spoke at all, but they could deeply Feel the force of your heart hitting your chest.

Although the audience had no intention of targeting Wawrinka, at this moment, the entire Roland-Garros seems to have stood behind Gawain and shouted. They just hope that the excitement will continue, they just hope that the duel will heat up, and they just hope that this carnival Don't end it right away.

Wawrinka, felt—

It may not be obvious on the surface, but the next point, you can immediately feel the tightness of your hand.

The quality of Gao Wen's return serve was mediocre, but Wawrinka's forehand attack was not able to open up the angle. Gao Wen caught the opportunity to launch a counterattack on the well-behaved landing point, and hit Wawrinka's backhand head-on with a shot from the deep zone. , As a result, Wawrinka's backhand made a low-level error that shouldn't have happened.

off beat.

The tennis ball flew directly to the audience stands.

In fact, the difficulty of this shot is not high. Although Gao Wen's attack squeezes Wawrinka, Wawrinka's backhand is fully capable of countering; but Wawrinka's judgment on the hitting point is biased. Simple mistakes like .com causing off-bat shots are not unexpected, but they shouldn't be here.

"ah!"

Wawrinka, very, very dissatisfied with his performance, clenched his hands into fists, roared angrily—

Mistakes occur when they should least be made.

Crackling, Wawrinka broke out a string of French, talking to himself to vent his emotions. Although he is Swiss, Wawrinka lived in Lausanne in the French-speaking area since he was a child, so he is more accustomed to French. Choose to swear in French, more comfortable and more comfortable.

"40: AD".

break point.

From the moment he got the match point, Wawrinka has lost three points in a row. The pressure from himself, from Gao Wen, and from the audience surrounded him layer by layer. To a whole new height, then, he fell into trouble instead.

From the match point to the break point, everything came too fast, and the victory that was within reach seemed to be a little further away.

Grand Slam is indeed not easy.
