Match Point: Chapter 2076 1/3

Gao Wen knows that this game will inevitably be under tremendous pressure, and Djokovic will definitely improve his condition to exert pressure; but one of the problems facing giant players is:

Even if you are mentally prepared and foresee the future, there are still some problems that need to be faced face-to-face, and the situation is different every time you fight, so you can't always seek solutions at every turn.

Since New York, Gao Wen and Djokovic have played against each other three more times, in the Imperial Capital, the Magic Capital, and Paris. The circumstances of each encounter are different; but what is certain is that in all those games, Djokovic became fuel and evolved into the power that drives London today.

Sure enough, counterattack on the spot, this is what happened.

Quietly, Djokovic's shot control became more precise, detailed and purposeful, completing the shot layout unchanged and adapting to changes.

Square ball.

That is, the back-and-forth movement route and the hitting route form a square. This is what Djokovic is best at, because he can fully exert his control of the ball.

But in terms of details, Djokovic has different ideas.

He did not open the angle, but controlled it in the square area in the center of the field. It felt like the tennis court had shrunk by one-third, and the back-and-forth hitting line and range of movement had also shrunk by one-third.

The focus is on control, rather than layout, it focuses on containment.

The reason is not complicated.

Keywords, physical fitness and energy.

Regardless of whether it is Gao Wen or Djokovic, although his physical fitness is not at its peak now, after experiencing high-quality and high-intensity collisions in the first six games, it is inevitable that there will be some decline. This is also the reason why Djokovic's serve was broken. The important reason is that Gawain will also face the same dilemma next.

However, this is fair to both men.

What's more, Gao Wen is young and energetic. If Djokovic and Gao Wen go head-to-head and burn themselves, even if the break is successful, what should they do next?

Control, containment, restriction, this is Djokovic's strategy.

From Gao Wen's perspective, if he is going to attack from an angle, he needs to take more risks, especially when his physical fitness and energy fluctuate. A strong attack will consume more energy and make more mistakes, which may lead to more mistakes. Will fall into passivity.

From Djokovic's perspective, whether it is offense or defense, his return line is very clear, which is framed in a square area. This allows him to save energy, free up his hands to control the rhythm, and then seek breakthroughs and create defensive transitions. opportunity to attack.

Not only mature, but also wise.

This is also a tactic that was developed after combining Djokovic's own strengths and progress during this period, and gradually improved to the version in front of him.

Facts have also proven that Djokovic is outstanding.

If someone thinks that Djokovic is vulnerable because Gauvin is far ahead in victory, that would be real stupidity. Just look at the wins between the four giants. Winning and losing streaks don't mean anything because they continue to grow and transform.

This is the fundamental reason why the Big Four have been able to dominate the professional tennis world for more than ten years.

Today, the same is true.

Precisely because his opponent is Gawain, the only player who can compete with Djokovic this year and maintain his peak condition, Djokovic has studied Gawain more thoroughly and comprehensively, paying more attention to each encounter and having high morale. , strong ideas, different from any opponent.

Even temporarily surpassing Federer and Nadal.

Djokovic shows the style of a giant -

In a round that lasted for 24 beats, which was also the longest round since the start of the match today, Djokovic won with his iconic forehand diagonal "inside-out" winning point, which was slightly unstable. The forehand withstood the pressure at the critical moment and won a wonderful round.

And, save a game point.

"40:40".

Equal share, also see equal share.

After there was no tie in the first six games, the game was tied for the second consecutive game. At the end of the first set, tension suddenly became intense.

In fact, Gao Wen's performance was already very good. Facing the improved Djokovic, he remained focused and took the lead to get the game point. But at this point, I have to admit that Djokovic's forehand was under continuous pressure. Withstanding the test, the last shot is indeed beautiful and deserves applause and encouragement.

Gawain was not stingy either, slapping the face of the racket with the palm of his left hand and cheering for Djokovic.

Then-

One shot, outer corner.

Gao Wen's serve completely opened up the angle. He hit the ball with a speed of 198 kilometers per hour. He changed his tactics without warning and used a combination of outside angle and flat ball to open up the situation.

In the passive state, Djokovic jumped up with a long stride, used the movement to throw his body out, and slapped hard with his forehand.

Like a slap in the face.

In the absence of the strength support of the body and footsteps, it relies entirely on the swing of the forearm to achieve unparalleled powerful impact.

The serve is fast and the return is also fast.

The serve is flat and the return is flat.

Djokovic inadvertently once again demonstrated his unparalleled baseline hitting ability. It was not a ball, but he skillfully completed the package and pushed it back.

In the blink of an eye, the tennis ball was pushed to the center -

It is still the central square area, neither a diagonal nor a straight line. It does not tear away the angle, but aims at Gawain's position and swings it strongly.

boom.

The sound of hitting the ball is clear and crisp.

Before Gawain could recover from his serving action, he already felt a fierce and powerful heat wave coming from the tennis ball~www.mtlnovel.com~ Although his body was not prepared, his mind was ready. Gawain was ready Know that this is what Djokovic is capable of, he has this shot.

The key is when and how it will appear.

at this moment?

No surprise, no surprise either.

Gawain knew that he had no time to move out of the way, so he simply did not retreat. He just took half a step back with his left leg to make room for a small space. He stretched his hands to his feet for a backhand, preparing to hit the rebound ball and trying to pull a strong upward move. Xuan slowed down the rhythm, and at the same time watched Djokovic from the corner of his eye to see if he was preparing to go online.

Immediately afterwards—

Tennis is coming.

Press the line accurately on the bottom line.

Here is an unpopular knowledge point that needs to be popularized:

The boundary lines of the hard court, including the bottom line and side lines, are not paint, but a tape made of special material that can be pasted or removed.

Because of this, just like clay and grass, when a tennis ball hits the sideline, there is a certain chance that it will bounce irregularly. Although it is not so obvious or exaggerated, irregular bounce does exist, and occasionally There will also be significant deviations.

Of course, overall, the probability is far lower than on clay and grass, so many people don’t know it at all, including players.

In front of him, Djokovic's return ball hit the baseline and bounced irregularly, lower and flatter, further squeezing Gawain's remaining swing space, so that the entire hitting point and swing trajectory were completely Off track.

Before Gawain had time to react, the tennis ball had already drawn a full parabola and flew towards the audience stands.

"40:Ad".

…That's it?
