Match Point: Chapter 1999 overshadowing
Latest website: From the perspective of movement, action, and situation, everything indicates that Gawain will choose to exert force. The confrontation between strength and strength, and the connection between attack and attack are completely his strengths. Look at him and Federer. You will know it in the US Open semi-finals. Now Gao Wen has fully grown up.
However-
No.
Gao Wen's forehand was very light and very soft, and he pushed the shot in a straight line; moreover, the landing point was not deep, that is, it was just near the bottom line of the service area. After the tennis ball hit the ground and rebounded, it seemed that it was exhausted and could not fly forward. At first glance, it looked like he was giving up and waiting for Wawrinka to let go and attack.
But why?
In fact, Gawain deliberately let Wawrinka attack. Judging from Wawrinka's character and style, as long as the opportunity arises, he will not miss it.
The key is that with the help of force, Wawrinka can control his footsteps and center of gravity, and the entire subsequent offensive connection can continue continuously; but if Wawrinka uses his own strength, due to the one-handed backhand, he must shift his center of gravity. If you rely on centrifugal force to increase the power of your swing, your subsequent steps will not be consistent.
Of course, danger exists objectively—
Wawrinka's backhand can be hit straight and diagonally, and once the force is combined, it is an absolute cannonball. Gawain has already experienced it in Roland Garros, so Wawrinka may be killed with one shot.
However, in this game, Gao Wen was not prepared to launch an offensive. He was very bold from strategy to batting. He was making some tactical arrangements to pave the way for the subsequent game, so Gao Wen was very resolute in his execution.
After the forehand push, Gao Wen immediately stopped and pulled back to the center of the court, preparing to defend Wawrinka's backhand diagonal shot.
The details are hidden here—
Taking steps, adjusting, and watching Wawrinka's movements intently.
Pause, push off the ground, and start the second time to regain the center of gravity and return to the forehand.
The smoke bomb, the footsteps moving to the left is just a smoke bomb for a feint shot, using his movements to show Wawrinka that he has guarded against the backhand position, but in fact, Gawain's attention is completely on the forehand position.
This is a game and a gamble.
really!
Gawain guessed correctly.
Wawrinka hit a straight shot with one hand on his backhand, repeating the line of return shots.
boom!
At the moment when the force was exerted, Wawrinka's entire body was thrown to the left, and the centrifugal force pulled unreasonably and his feet staggered continuously.
boom-
Tennis ball, getting into the deep baseline area of Gao Wen's forehand position.
Fast, heavy, flat and low, like a torpedo.
Then Gawain appears.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Before he could even blink, Gawain had already returned to his position and appeared on the flight path of the tennis ball.
Without giving in or hesitating, you can see an obvious forward leaning movement of Gawain's upper body -
Grab the rising point.
Forehand, sweep, impact, power explodes instantly.
The tennis ball disappears in an instant.
The whole audience was stunned.
Wawrinka was still moving outwards, but the tennis ball had already penetrated Wawrinka's completely open forehand gap along the diagonal line without any obstruction.
An arrow pierces the heart.
"40:40".
Wow!
The O2 Stadium was in an uproar. His attention had not yet been fully concentrated. His eyes were straightened when he saw this clean score in front of him.
what happened?
A second ago, they remembered that Wawrinka had three consecutive game points. There seemed to be no suspense in this game. After all, Gawain broke Wawrinka's serve twice in a row at the beginning. It was too difficult and the possibility was too small. .
The next second, the two players were already tied, and the situation suddenly became completely different.
On the court.
Wawrinka glanced at Gawain. Gawain did not celebrate loudly or cheer with fists. His expression was calm and calm, but his eyes were very firm. This scene was very familiar -
Dreaming back to the Roland Garros semi-finals.
The two players just exchanged glances, and Wawrinka spread his hands to express his helplessness. This action made both of them laugh.
The game is slowly heating up, but the two players are particularly friendly.
Wawrinka turned and walked to the bottom line, taking advantage of the opportunity to wipe his sweat to sort out his thoughts. "40:0" and "40:40" are completely different things. Tennis matches are also changing rapidly.
How should I score the next point?
Next is the first zone. Just now in the first zone, Wawrinka chose the outside corner and was sneak-attacked by Gao Wen with a return serve ACE. Although Wawrinka is not afraid to continue to serve the outside corner, the tactical level needs to be sorted out.
call.
Wawrinka exhaled, turned back to the baseline, and prepared to serve.
Zone 1, outer corner—
Out of bounds.
Wawrinka wanted to further widen the angle and completely mobilize Gawain, but the angle was too wide and went directly out of bounds, and it was obvious that it was out of bounds.
Second serve.
It's still the outside corner, but this time the strategy has been slightly adjusted, and it's been pulled inward. To be precise, this time it's close to the forehand, relying on high bounce to form a restriction.
Sure enough, Gawain didn't grab it.
despite this!
Gao Wen still made a backward lowering movement, pinned his forehand to his body, turned in a small range, flicked his arms, and quickly curled his forearms and wrists -
This is Djokovic's return of serve.
However, Gao Wen was still not skilled in the use of the ball, and the package was not that good. He hit the parabola and flew close to the net. In order to avoid going out of bounds, the return ball landed shallowly.
Chance!
Wawrinka continuously adjusted in small steps, opened his forehand, and hit a heavy hammer without hesitation. The shot was connected very quickly. He caught a time difference, shortened the rhythm, and reached the point before Gawain could adjust his steps.
Gawain's pace was indeed slightly slower, but he was not unprepared.
The swing movement and hitting position were somewhat misaligned, and the whole movement was uncomfortable. However, Gao Wen did not force his attack, but changed his grip at the moment of release.
Cut long.
A cutting shot, but obviously with purpose, a strong backspin combined with a shot from the deep baseline, light and fast, aimed at Wawrinka's sole and drilled through.
Wawrinka didn't need to move his steps and could complete the hit by waiting in place. But at this time, he could feel the squeeze caused by Gawain's hit. His steps couldn't move out of the way, and he couldn't complete the hitting action, so his power naturally failed. Not enough, he barely managed a forehand diagonal shot that was like a rebound shot.
This is not Wawrinka's strong point.
At least in 2015, not yet.
In fact, later on, after 2017, due to injuries and age, Wawrinka did not blindly attack violently. His talent in touch was also shown in the control of small **** and the adjustment of changing balls; but in essence, UU Read www.uukanshu． com This is not the way Wawrinka likes to hit the ball.
In front of his eyes, Wawrinka's return was clearly substandard with the rebound of the ball. The entire parabola was completely pulled up and he fell into passivity in an instant.
Who would have thought that Gawain would use a forehand backspin to restrain Wawrinka and create an opportunity?
Oops!
Wawrinka realized the crisis at the first moment, adjusted his steps quickly, moved towards the backhand position, moved quickly, and prepared to defend, but he could see in his sight that Gawain was very calm and calm, adjusting his position in small steps continuously, without taking his eyes off Staring at the tennis ball, moving and adjusting along the way.
Footsteps, enter the baseline, stand in the half-court position, fully extend your forehand, and raise the knife with your hand -
Slash, look back.
The tennis ball got into the forehand gap behind Wawrinka, and a winning point hit the ground.
