Match Point: Chapter 462 physical limit

"Match Point(

After experiencing the close combat and the red bayonet in the third set, the audience had high expectations for the fourth set.

On the one hand, they expect Djokovic to launch a Jedi counterattack and drag the game into a final set. Among them, fans who hope that Djokovic can advance to the final will eventually occupy the majority.

On the other hand, they expect the two players to contribute another wonderful duel and continue the high-level confrontation in the first and third sets, so as not to disappoint the quality of the Grand Slam semi-finals.

But the fact is that even the top players are mortal. After the fierce competition in the third set, there will inevitably be a slump in physical strength and energy. This is in line with the natural law. Whether Djokovic or Gao Wen, they None of them are perpetual motion machines, so naturally they cannot maintain high-intensity confrontation all the time.

The small difference is that Gao Wen has already survived his physical strength, but Djokovic has been holding on to that breath.

In fact, Djokovic's physical strength has already appeared. However, this top player has unparalleled acumen and delicate control of the game. In the second half of the third set, he consciously focused on his own serve. In rounds, and in some rounds, consciously increase the ball return insurance factor, all of which are tactical layouts, the purpose is to ensure physical strength and ensure victory in the third set.

From a tactical point of view, if everything goes well, Djokovic will be able to take a big "2:1" lead, and then relax a little in the first half of the fourth set, concentrating on recovering:

It's best if you can keep your serve, and it doesn't matter if you can't, as long as you don't fall behind too much, there's no problem. After the extreme physical strength, you can still chase back in the second half of the fourth set.

To take a step back, even if he loses the fourth set, he can still concentrate and physically attack the final set—

Djokovic has strategically distributed his strength more than once against other top players, sometimes in a better state and sometimes with a more relaxed nerve.

This is definitely not a negative race, on the contrary, it is a strategic deployment to win the race, just like Tian Ji's horse racing.

From some shot choices in the second half of the third set, we can see Djokovic's overall layout intention.

However-

As Gao Wen came from behind to grab the third set, and instead pushed Djokovic to a corner, the whole game suddenly became complicated.

At the beginning of the fourth set, Gao Wen was keenly aware that Djokovic was approaching the limit, so he played more aggressively and aggressively, trying to seize the opportunity to widen the score gap.

From this move, it can be seen that although Gao Wen is young, it does not mean that Gao Wen lacks experience. His interpretation of the game and his grasp of the timing are very mature and sophisticated, which also makes Djokovic very uncomfortable—

These details are difficult to see from the video tape of the game, and can only be felt personally after the real face-to-face confrontation.

However, Djokovic was able to rank among the Big Four. After all, he was still a bit more sophisticated. He seized Gao Wen's eagerness for success, adjusted his batting style, and consciously slowed down the game when his physical strength was low. Gao Wen made some unnecessary unforced errors, and the rhythm of the entire game also changed subtly.

In the fourth set, Djokovic served first.

In the first game, Djokovic saved serve after saving two break points.

In the third game, Djokovic saved four more break points and secured serve again, the first two of which were consecutive break points.

Every time, Djokovic's game seems to be in jeopardy. It seems that it may collapse at any time in the storm, but on the edge of the cliff, Djokovic can always find a way to restore the crisis. Then let the balance of the game continue.

Although Djokovic did nothing in Gao Wen's serve, his physical strength and energy did not allow him to launch an offensive in the opponent's serve; but very strangely and very wonderfully, the two players started the fourth set. Maintaining a balance, both sides are protecting each other's serve.

"2:2".

Sure enough, Djokovic deserves to be Djokovic. Even if he is facing the test of extreme physical strength, he still maintains the balance of the game with just one breath.

After missing six break points in two rounds, Gao Wen also realized that his eagerness was breaking the balance of the game—

In the final analysis, it is because of fear of Djokovic's counterattack ability deep in his heart.

Gao Wen knew that Djokovic would not surrender easily, and also knew that Djokovic had the ability to overturn the situation of the audience, so he hoped to seize the opportunity of Djokovic's extreme physical strength to establish an advantage for himself as much as possible , but such a mentality has verified the truth that haste makes waste.

call…

After continuously taking deep breaths to calm his mind, Gao Wen regained his calmness and patience, and broke the deadlock in the fifth game of the fourth set. He seized the second break point and successfully broke serve first in the fourth set. With a lead of 3:2", the whole situation will be different immediately.

The shackles of physical strength eventually became an important turning point; on the contrary, the previous experience of competing in the Challenger League for three consecutive weeks and reaching the top for three consecutive weeks became Gao Wen's most valuable experience.

In the fourth set, because Gao Wen was the one who served last, he was unable to widen the score gap. Djokovic was still chasing closely~www.mtlnovel.com~ Facing difficult situations continuously, Djokovic On the contrary, he calmed down, no more irritability or anger, and regained his focus on the court. After surviving the extreme physical strength, the quality of the game slowly returned, and he kept his serve twice in a row. Wen expands the advantage.

From the details, it can be seen once again that Djokovic's control of the game has penetrated into every link in every aspect. Even if he falls behind, he can still make Gao Wen very uncomfortable.

Then, Gao Wen ushered in his own serve to win the game.

Looking back at Gao Wen's serving victory in the first set, we know that being pushed to the edge of a cliff can often stimulate Djokovic's potential energy, and the impact will inevitably be more ferocious and intense; but Gao Wen is also a smart person, You learn a lot from a fall, and you performed very well in this round——

"pretty!"

"In this point, Djokovic played very proactively. He completed the layout early, mobilized Gao Wen with a forehand in a straight line, and immediately followed the ball to the net to create pressure, forcing Gao Wen to play a high ball."

"However, Djokovic's high-pressure ball in front of the net was still soft, and he couldn't pinpoint it. There was still a problem with the hitting point. Instead, he gave Gao Wen a dribble shot, and his backhand with both hands was very solid to withstand the impact. Force to complete the net-breaking crossing."

"40:15."

"The match point has appeared!"

"Who would have thought that Gao Wen would be the first to get the match point in this semi-final?"
