Here, Djokovic chose to cut shallowly and aim for the sideline shot.
On that side, Gawain launched a straight attack with his forehand.
On this side, Djokovic cut a large diagonal line in defense to launch a counterattack.
Back and forth, everything changes in an instant, every shot is like fencing on a tightrope, and the transition between offense and defense is constantly moving.
Then, Gao Wen's footsteps were pulled out of the singles line, and the entire court was completely cleared. The low point, backspin, and unreliable return were even more difficult problems, and Gao Wen was immediately pushed into an extremely passive dilemma.
The strong wind is hunting, and it is in danger.
but.
Gawain concentrated, not only did not panic, but also entered a new realm with concentration.
Brake with your left leg, bend your knees, squat down, lower your center of gravity, rely on your body to form a shield, and swing out the backhand with both hands in advance.
Swing?
No, cutting.
Use cutting to respond to cutting, counterspin with backspin, and release your left hand at the moment of contact with the ball. The two-handed backhand becomes a one-handed racket to increase the flexibility of hitting the ball. Wrap the tennis ball with your wrist and quickly brush the racket surface as much as possible. Increasing friction increases spin, and the racket spins completely.
A rub. A bump.
Squat down on your knees and lower your center of gravity, even lower than the hitting point, to ensure that you are cutting enough to rub the tennis ball.
Whoosh.
Light and silent, agile and graceful, the tennis ball took off.
To be precise, it was not flying, but spinning, breaking free from the constraints of gravity with an incredibly strong spin, and rising again.

small ball.
small ball!
It’s actually a small ball!

Uh-huh.
At the same time, Djokovic burst out with a roar, which was both an expression of strength and annoyance—
He didn't expect it at all, and his center of gravity stayed completely near the bottom line. When he realized that Gawain made a choice, he was already a whole beat slower. No matter how fast he started the second time and how fast he moved, he was still embarrassed.
Damn **** damn!
But Djokovic did not give up and ran at full speed after the second start.
For tennis, vertical movement is much more difficult than lateral movement, but not everyone. Nadal and Djokovic’s vertical movement abilities should be among the best among active players, so players are faced with them. When choosing to cut and place small balls, the quality must be guaranteed, otherwise it will be a sheep in the tiger's mouth.
Tap tap, tap tap.
Djokovic's speed has increased to the extreme.
However…
Still half a beat too slow.

There was no room for rebound after landing. From the tactical change on the spot to the unswerving control of the shot, it was indisputable. Picky.
- Goose falls on the flat sand.

Everything came to an abrupt end.
Djokovic watched helplessly as the tennis ball landed on the ground and made two jumps. Then he arrived half a beat slower, but it was already too late.
Grass!
Hurry!

Wow!
Break, here it comes!

oh.
Oh oh oh…

"3:4".
Gawain, ahead!
On the court, the two players performed differently.

No one in the o2 stadium laughed at Djokovic's concentration, because they themselves were the same, completely immersed in the tense atmosphere of the game, completely forgetful of themselves. If the referee hadn't reminded them, they would have forgotten to take a break between games. Suddenly, the applause burst out.
