Bend your knees, push on the ground, swing the racket—
inner angle.
Speed 175 kilometers per hour.
It can be clearly seen at this time that the quality of Gao Wen's serve has declined due to lack of strength on the ground. This has also become an important reason why he lost three consecutive serve games.
However, at the other end of the court, when faced with the opportunity, Djokovic did not rush to attack. With a forehand, he sent the tennis ball back to Gao Wen's forehand position in the middle of the court.
See-saw, here we go again.
Djokovic is very patient and has been controlling the rhythm through a combination of dark and light placement.
Gao Wen was also patient, constantly creating confrontation through line combinations and rotation changes.
Round, not intense—
Neither player took the initiative to open up the angle, and the landing point of the return ball was always controlled in the middle of the court, that is, the midpoint of the bottom line of the court is within a radius of two meters from the center of the circle. Even if the line is slightly changed to mobilize the opponent, the landing point will still not exceed the radius of three meters. , there is still a big step left from the sideline.
Indeed, Gawain's physical peak lasted slightly longer than expected. Similarly, Djokovic was also facing a physical dilemma. After all, the final set was different from the previous four sets. How to reasonably allocate physical energy, how to allocate hitting routes, and how to adjust the layout Tactics, these are all very particular.
From diagonal line versus diagonal line, to straight line versus straight line, to straight line versus diagonal line—
The two players showed top position control capabilities, very solid baseline skills, and continued to make small-scale adjustments in the back-and-forth confrontation.
Five beats.
Ten beats.
Fifteen beats.
In the blink of an eye, it was another multi-shot round.
Then, Gao Wen took a two-handed backhand and hit it in a straight line, and then hit the straight ball back to Djokovic's forehand position.
Djokovic came back again, and slapped the tape with his forehand. It seemed like an understatement, but in fact, he relied on the strength of his wrist to open the angle and hit the ball unexpectedly.
It can't be regarded as a vigorous attack, but it disrupts the rhythm in a stalemate. The combination of angle and landing point creates pressure.
Gao Wen could feel the change of rhythm immediately, but he still did not retreat to open his defensive posture, but moved laterally with a long stride -
Body, stretch; forehand, open.
Relying on the forward movement of the upper body, he grabbed a rising point with his forehand, but he did not take the initiative to exert force on his own. He just used the force to hit the shot.
Fast paced nudge, straight line.
A very technical shot to return the ball, and then push the tennis ball back along a straight line, and the rhythm of the connection between the rackets is obviously improved.
The tennis ball quickly rushed towards Djokovic's backhand. Although Gao Wen did not open the angle, the angle of Djokovic's last shot was fully utilized, so that his steps also quickly moved towards the left Pull it horizontally, and you can instantly feel the intensity of the confrontation quietly increase.
Obviously, this is just foreshadowing.
Djokovic did not continue to exert pressure. Instead, he retreated. He blocked the shot with his backhand with both hands, and then pushed to the middle -
Angle, pull it back again.
Djokovic controlled the landing point of the return ball near the midpoint, took a beat, and pushed the landing point deeper without rushing to exert force, and returned to the sawing mode.
He showed off his talents in a small way, failed to find an opportunity, and then retreated again in the blink of an eye. This was also the main theme from the second half of the fourth set to the first half of the fifth set. Djokovic brought his baseline grinding skills to the extreme. , Never waste energy easily and wait for opportunities quietly.
tread. tread.
Gao Wen only took two steps and was already in place smoothly and smoothly. He opened his backhand with both hands and made an early lead-in action, which raised the atmosphere.
Could it be that Gawain is preparing to take action?
Nudge, topspin, roll-up, outside-out—
The batting action was understated, and there was still no force or speed. The hitting was average, and there was no trace of surprise at all.
but!
The moment Gao Wen hit the ball, Djokovic immediately started. Although Gao Wen did not exert any force and still maintained a controlled hitting method, there was a needle in the bat of this shot. Gao Wen took the initiative to break the angle and get out of the court. Tangle back and forth in the middle, aim for the sideline position, and launch an attack.
slash.
Press the line.
within bounds.
Yun Danfeng returned the ball lightly without any warning. Djokovic's reaction speed was a little slower. When he rushed to the position, he realized his predicament. It was not dangerous, but he still needed to launch a counterattack. Lightning The batting choice was made between the flints.
Kick your left leg.
The white crane spreads its wings.
Following the inertia of movement, all the speed and power are detonated, and with a turning movement to complete the transmission, the backhand with both hands suddenly strikes out with force.
boom!
In an instant, just this short moment, the entire rhythm, power, and speed exploded, rising to more than one level. The crisp sound of hitting the ball surged in the silent space of Arthur Ashe Stadium, igniting passion and suppressing it in an instant. The energy in the blood is boiling.
Middle!
It's actually the middle road!
Djokovic's shot, while increasing in speed and power, did not tear away the angle. Instead, it pulled the line back to the center.
This is Djokovic's strategy, to continue to throw the risk of attack to Gawain, because he knows that Gawain is still trapped in extreme physical embarrassment, and it is easy to lose focus when taking the initiative; but if he is running at high speed, If you follow the inertia and take action, it will be easier to use your strength to create a beautiful counterattack.
Therefore, Djokovic kept sending the tennis ball back to the center, which meant that Gao Wen took risks to attack -
Even if Gao Wen attacks and scores or even holds the serve, Djokovic does not need to be nervous because he has the advantage in the deciding set.
In other words~www.mtlnovel.com~Djokovic is now fighting a war of attrition, extending Gawain's physical limit as much as possible and compressing Gawain's counterattack space as much as possible.
This shot return is very typical. Although neither player has fully mobilized or fully exerted their energy, the sparks in the close encounter are still very tight, from Gao Wen's active angle to Djokovic's return. The undercurrent of the two players can be seen in the suppression.
Moreover, Djokovic's return ball controls the landing point, presses deep in the middle, and is close to the baseline but does not need to press the line. This means that he can squeeze Gawain's position through the deep return ball without taking risks. , further creating difficulties for Gao Wen, and it couldn't be easier for Djokovic.
Whirring whirring-
The tennis ball hit Gawain solidly and heavily.
Gawain's lungs were burning and his knees were shaking, like the tip of a knife dancing wildly. Every time he hit the ball, he was undergoing a severe test, but he could only grit his teeth.
Adjust in small steps, move a small half step to the right to get out of position, and move forward with a backhand with both hands without hesitation.
Kick the ground.
straighten.
Although his knees were shaking all the time, Gawain took a deep breath to straighten his knees, and pushed forward with his backhand movements along with the turning movement.
A flick.
one strike.
Instant power.
Without warning, without preparation, astonishingly—
Gawain, use your strength.
Not only does it use force to hit, but the forearm is pushed forward to exert full pressure, pushing the tennis ball out, and then you can see a mustard yellow glide.
On the front foot, Djokovic has just picked up speed.
On the back foot, Gao Wen further accelerated, and the entire rhythm instantly increased by two levels. Just like an F1 racing car, when the accelerator was pressed to the bottom, the speed soared from zero to 300 kilometers per hour without any breathing time.
