Match Point: Chapter 1690 Faith is immortal
One zone, outside corner, forehand, 125 mph.
At the match point, Federer was not relentless. Obviously, he was also aware of the potential fluctuations in his key points, so he slowed down slightly but not too obviously, and controlled a line to form a suppression. The slightly ambiguous landing could also limit Gao Wen. The return of the ball paves the way for the subsequent attack.
Gawain, highly focused—
pedal.
The first time, Gawain had already started.
There is no prediction in advance, because Federer's serve is full of variables, especially the key score. Unless it is intentional gambling, otherwise prediction in advance may affect the reaction time and starting speed; keep focused and immersed, and move according to the body's reaction, but can Grab some time.
Push off, extend.
Everything happened in a blink of an eye, and there was only time to take a step, so Gao Wen took a big step directly, stretched his upper body completely, and found a delicate balance with the posture of a big roc spreading its wings. The strength of his arms flowed from his shoulders all the way to the Fingertips, the muscles suddenly contracted.
Like an umbrella shrinking.
The elbow, forearm, and wrist are straightened all the way to create a baseball swing effect. The moment the racket hits the ball, the wrist sweeps quickly.
Whoosh!
Tennis, gone.
The superposition of speed and speed makes the speed of tennis to the extreme. The mustard yellow blends into the gold and emerald green, and the naked eye can't catch it. From Federer's serve to Gao Wen's return, the short touch and smart handling again Bring the speed of lawn tennis to the extreme.
Obviously, at the match point, Gao Wen was not nervous at all, but relaxed, and his reaction speed and shot quality reached his best state.
When he realized that Federer chose to suppress the forehand, Gao Wen had already decided to give it a go. The whole shot had an obvious whip impact. By leveraging his strength, he turned Federer's ball speed and strength into his own counterattack weapon. When receiving a shot, it also directly launches a counterattack.
In fact, this is not the first time. In this round, the point that belonged to Gao Wen in "40:15" was the receiving ace.
Federer, startled—
He was not surprised that Gao Wen grabbed the serve, because Gao Wen had such courage and ability; but he was surprised by the quality of Gao Wen's shots, almost hitting the tennis ball back with a gesture of hitting the wall, serving at a speed of 125 miles per hour and exceeding the speed of 100 miles per hour Flying back with the posture, he was really caught off guard.
"Well."
Federer let out a muffled grunt, and was forced to move in a panic before returning to his serving position, and his footsteps were inevitably a little embarrassing.
slash.
Forehand.
Federer watched Gawain's shots intently. The tennis ball that seemed to disappear never escaped the entanglement of his eyes. His footsteps immediately started towards the forehand position. During the continuous large stride lateral movement, Federer also fell into Gawain's entanglement. In the same predicament when just receiving the serve.
The footsteps were not fully in place, but the forehand had to be shot—
Otherwise, he will miss the point of impact, and it will be very difficult to control the tennis back to the court even with a wrist lob.
Without time to wait, Federer struck with a forehand, relying on his wrist when neither his body nor his feet could provide support.
With a turn and a turn, the tennis ball was barely hooked back at the end of the racket's extension.
From Gawain to Federer, it was almost copy-pasted. The two used similar skills to complete similar shots in their forehand positions.
It's like a mirror image.
Then, the tennis ball flew back along the diagonal line again.
At the same time, Federer further opened up the angle, and his return ball found a landing point in the front of the service area on the right side of Gawain, and flew out trickily.
The two players made the best use of the horizontal space of the entire tennis court.
Huh!
The whole audience exclaimed, they couldn't believe their eyes—
Gawain's imaginative and impactful return serve has already amazed everyone, but he never expected that Federer would be able to counterattack with unparalleled touch.
No, Gao Wen was embarrassed, Federer was also embarrassed, and Gao Wen was even more embarrassed.
Gao Wen's footsteps are returning to their positions, not to defend the backhand, but to return to the court to prepare for the next shot, but he did not expect that Federer would continue to tear the diagonal and make the best use of the space on the court, forcing Gao Wen After the second start, the footsteps rushed directly to the doubles area.
Moreover, how should Gao Wen return the ball?
Keep tearing up the angle? On the next shot, the two players may get closer and closer to the net, standing almost parallel and continuing to hit the diagonal.
Break the deadlock and change the line? Because the vertical space is severely shortened, if you are not careful, you may go out of bounds. If you are too careful, you will not give Federer an attacking opportunity without threatening to enter the tiger's mouth.
Disaster!
Difficult to ascend to heaven!
But Gao Wen didn't think or hesitate in the blink of an eye. With a flash of inspiration, he stretched out his forehand ahead of time before his footsteps were in place.
Cut everything.
The footsteps may not be in place in time is one reason, but more importantly, breaking the rhythm through cutting—
Standing in front of Federer and playing four sets, Gao Wen was learning and growing, and what he learned from Federer was put into use on the spot.
And still on match point.
But this is Gawain, bold enough, resolute enough, smart enough, and, besides, crazy enough.
The forehand cutting disrupted all the speed, strength, angle and rhythm, etc., and finally fell into Gao Wen's control, controlling the line by cutting.
The most important thing is the landing point.
Because Gao Wen cut a straight line.
straight line!
In the turmoil of shock and exclamation in the audience, you can see the tennis ball passing under the referee's chair, disappearing briefly in the space between the net and the chair, bypassing the ball post, and finally mysteriously Appeared in the left area of Federer's side of the court and rushed straight to the bottom line triangle.
Unbelievable!
Wonderful!
On the front foot, Federer made the best use of the horizontal space of the court.
With his back foot, Gao Wen opened up the vertical space of the court.
And, with chipping to control depth, length, and parabolic trajectory, and finally accompanied by backspin, this shot is nothing short of brilliant.
In the central court, there was no sound, no one could make a sound, and the successive wonderful shots made the brain freeze and even forget to breathe.
next second—
Federer sprints horizontally to the left at full speed.
And Gao Wen~www.mtlnovel.com~ paused and turned, and changed the direction of movement without any pause. Following the pull of the centrifugal force, he made a small turn, and his feet had already moved forward along the vertical axis.
go online!
This, this, this...
Gao Wen once again broke the audience's prediction. After breaking the balance with an incredible forehand slice, he quickly approached the net with his footsteps.
On both sides of the field, one is sprinting horizontally and the other is stepping up vertically, just like vehicles approaching each other at a T-junction. One after another reached the position.
Time and space, frozen for a very, very brief moment—
Federer is observing Gao Wen.
Gao Wen was observing Federer.
In the midst of rapid changes, both of them have completed their judgment, and then, attack!
