The latest website: speed up, assault—
After losing three consecutive match points, Djokovic's concentration and state improved to a whole new level, and his entire shot was obviously much more decisive.
The first shot after the serve was connected with the attack, and the two-handed backhand was directly swept away. Gao Wen was immediately passive and fell into defense.
boom!
The sound of hitting the ball is solid and crisp.
Although Gao Wen moved his feet quickly, there was not much space left for the backhand shot with both hands, so he could only use his strength to hit the ball flat and push it in a straight line.
Like the strategy of returning serve, Gao Wen tried to form restrictions through control of the line and placement, dragging Djokovic back to the inertia of the ball -
Buy yourself time to breathe and adjust, and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
This time, Djokovic was not fooled. Although his steps were still about half a meter behind the baseline and did not move forward, the offensive connection was very close. He moved continuously in small steps. His forehand had already completed the connection immediately, and he swept again. One beat, slash "inside-out" line.
Like ocean waves.
Wave after wave, layer after layer.
Perhaps, the power of each wave is not so turbulent and strong, but it is continuous and interlocking, with momentum and pressure stacked up layer by layer.
Gawain was like a boat being caught in a storm, and the time and space for hitting the ball were continuously compressed. Every time he hit the ball, he was looking for changes and trying to contain it, but his disadvantage was firmly fixed by Djokovic from the moment he returned the serve. With firm control and no way to breathe, you can see the world's number one control and pressure at this time, and the solid and excellent bottom line skills are fully demonstrated.
First there was the collision between diagonal impact and straight counterattack.
After that, there was a confrontation between straight-line suppression and straight-line turning back.
Then there is the pull of straight-line collision and diagonal surprise.
The whole audience held their breath and watched the tennis ball flying back and forth on both sides of the court, with the line, landing point, speed, spin, rhythm, etc. always changing.
Fighting, stalemate.
Gao Wen has been trying to form a counterattack, but Djokovic's control and pressure are so good. He can adjust every time he hits the ball immediately, maintaining the advantage and containing Gao Wen step by step. Suppressed Gawain's counterattack and took the lead in attacking again.
Two-handed backhand diagonal diagonal.
One stroke of the ball is comparable to what is drawn on a protractor. He aims at Gawain's backhand position and shoots into the blind corner of the bottom line. The speed and power are moderate. It does not completely explode, but completes the control with the feel. The target is the landing point, and it accurately penetrates into the blind corner. , Djokovic once again had the upper hand.
-Danger.
Gawain's alarm bell rang, and he immediately realized his predicament. As he walked across the court, he glanced at Djokovic from the corner of his eye.
Casual, confident and in complete control of the situation, Djokovic methodically adjusted his steps and was ready to defend a straight line.
You can tell at a glance that Djokovic is already prepared for Gawain's straight backhand, which means that even if Gawain fights in a straight line, it may not be effective; but if he chooses a straight line, Djokovic's two-handed backhand will also be effective. Able to defend easily, the opponent did not leave much space for Gawain.
However, tennis is the same as Go:
Don't expect that one move or move will end the battle, but focus on the layout.
Now that Djokovic is ready, Gawain can also dig a trap—
Calculate, plan, layout, game.
That's probably it.
In the blink of an eye, Gawain had fully calculated, kicked off his left leg, and pushed out with a solid and steady backhand with both hands.
One shot slash.
Calm, strong, and powerful, Gawain's backhand shot completely caught the ball, without risking or testing, just the simplest slash.
First, the ball quality of this shot is improved to a new level.
Secondly, Gawain adjusted his focus to incorporate his own rhythm.
With small steps, small steps in succession, Gawain had already completed the adjustment, stepping on the Hot Wheels across the field, sprinting without hesitation and unwaveringly.
The eyes are firmly fixed on Djokovic, watching the opponent's position, watching the opponent's attack, watching the opponent's backhand attack with both hands.
-straight line.
Gawain: Yes.
Trap, success.
It is precisely because Gao Wen's two-handed backhand slash is solid and strong that the pressure and impact of the ball bring a substantial threat to Djokovic. Djokovic can also feel the pressure. Under the pressure, When trying to counterattack, a straight line is easier than a diagonal line, because the straight line can borrow force.
So Djokovic pushed straight.
Gawain was already prepared, and he arrived at a lightning speed. He grabbed an ascending point with his forehand, and used his strength to hit the diagonal shot.
-boom.
-boom.
Tennis ball, hit the wall head-on.
Slash!
Gawain, speed up the beat, compress the rhythm, and play fast.
Sacrifice the control of line and angle, make full use of the fast and hard court characteristics of Arthur Ashe Stadium, and push the tennis ball back immediately.
Fight back?
Fight back!
On that side, Djokovic took the lead in attacking.
This time, Gao Wen instead used Djokovic's offensive to launch a counterattack.
Then, Djokovic became a little embarrassed -
finally!
Stumbling, Djokovic's footsteps quickly crossed the court, and he could feel the air wave of the tennis ball approaching quickly before he reached his position.
Not heavy or punchy, but fast enough.
Djokovic also had no time to hesitate. He started the shot with his forehand early and made the hitting action before his steps were in place.
Even so, the swing space is still very limited, and the forehand blocks and wraps.
The iconic pocket ball appears again.
And this is exactly Djokovic's unique skill.
Whether it is Federer or Nadal, they use the layout and the game to create enough advantages, and then launch a heavy blow. The advantage is already very obvious, but as long as Djokovic's steps are in place, he can find ways to turn tennis over. Go back and continue the round.
It is precisely because of this that Djokovic is always able to continue one more beat and one more beat during the transition between offense and defense, and finally win the opportunity to counterattack.
The same goes for Gawain—
A pocket.
Djokovic wrapped the tennis ball and used his strength to push back, but this shot of the ball was extremely wonderful.
He made a diagonal shot and flew quickly towards the dead center of Gao Wen's forehand baseline.
After Gao Wen grabbed the rising point with his forehand~www.mtlnovel.com~ he immediately returned to the center of the court to defend, and prepared to connect with the next attack. Then he saw Djokovic's return ball and pulled the ball back. Diagonal shot flies back to the forehand.
Emergency stop, emergency turn, second start.
Gawain returned to his forehand, and then realized the real problem: placement.
After the previous shot was aimed at the blind corner of Gawain's backhand, this shot is aimed at the blind corner of Gawain's forehand. Djokovic's shots are always aimed at the corners, and in this game, he repeatedly presses the line and repeatedly hits the corner. In the circle, it's like dancing on a tightrope, but you can always maximize your advantage.
Before he could even blink, Gao Wen had already fallen into a passive position. Not to mention continuous offensive opportunities, he even had to defend this shot.
His steps were not in place, and he saw that the tennis ball was about to break through the blockade of his position and continue to fly. If he didn't take action, he would have to try to hit the ball from behind. So Gao Wen could only extend his upper body, blocking one after another, trying to use his wrist Finish wrapping and put the tennis ball back in your pocket.
- Gawain also played ball.
