Match Point: Chapter 545 back on track
Mayer, a little annoyed.
Not because of the roaring home cheers—of course, those noises are annoying, especially those howling wolves; more because of Gawain's batting.
Sudden, changeable, trap.
That feeling is like, in a game of chess, I make a move, but the opponent has already seen the first five or even ten moves, and I am like a turtle in a urn. All struggles are in vain, and the feeling of powerlessness burns in my stomach. Burning, really unbearable.
The real problem is that the first set was won by Mayer. Since the second set, Gawain's shot seems to have not changed drastically, and his power and speed have also decreased, and his line and placement have also changed. Conservative, but the quality of the game has increased, how is this going on?
So, since the second set, after a full ten points, Mayer only scored two points, while Gao Wen scored eight points.
This doesn't make sense.
If Gao Wen's state has improved, Mayer can accept it calmly. After all, the opponent is the US Open champion, and his state and ability are there.
But the current situation is completely different. As a result, she fell into a backward situation inexplicably, and Mayer was very depressed.
He needs to take it easy.
However, the game is still going on, and even if Mayer needs to clear his mind, he needs to complete another Gawain serve.
Mayer didn't have time to think about the reason, so it was difficult to make immediate changes in the whole game. Therefore, Gao Wen only lost one point to secure serve, and the second set had already reached "3:0".
Fortunately, the break came.
Mayer returned to the players' rest area, gulped down mineral water, trying to calm down his brain and regain the sanity of the game.
Even though in a short period of time, he couldn't see the overall situation clearly, and it was difficult to find the reason for the reversal of the situation, but his rich experience in the game still allowed him to regain his composure, at least to ensure the concentration of concentration and avoid the bad situation of collapse.
When the game resumed, Mayer was on her feet again.
"40:30", Mayer sent out the first ace of the second set, and finally kept the serve, ending the situation of losing three games in a row.
"40:0", Gao Wen immediately responded with a "love-game", three winning points, one mistake by Mayer, and easily secured the serve.
"ad: 40", Mayer used a deep backspin ball that pressed the bottom line to squeeze Gao Wen, causing Gao Wen's swing to be unable to stretch, causing the ball to return to the net, and once again saved a serve Bureau.
"40:30", in the face of Mayer's strong impact in this round, Gao Wen still stood firm at the critical moment, disrupted Mayer's prediction with a forehand with a small slash back, and succeeded. Guaranteed hair.
For four consecutive rounds, the two players kept their serve; moreover, the time for both players to keep their serve was getting longer and longer. The competition in the second half of the second set was obviously fierce and stalemate, but Gao Wen still had With the advantage of serving first, he entered the break with a "5:2" score lead.
When reappearing, this is the serve that Mayer must protect.
It is precisely because Mayer is aware of the increased pressure that he was obviously more proactive in Gao Wen's last serve. But the problem is that after Gao Wen controlled the mistakes and the layout, the stability of the entire return was greatly improved. , causing Mayer to bear more pressure on the offensive end. Instead, he made an offensive error and failed to break serve.
Similarly, in Mayer's serve game, Gao Wen will also launch an attack and continue to apply pressure.
"ad: 40".
"40:40".
"40:ad".
Game point, tie, break point, tie...
In this way, in the eighth game of the second set, the two sides fell into a stalemate again. Both players were improving their status. turning point—
After all, if Gao Wen can break serve, then the second set victory will be in his pocket, and the two sides will return to the same starting line, and the whole momentum will be lost.
Conversely, if Mayer can keep his serve and win this round after a fierce battle, Gao Wen's physical strength and energy will inevitably experience a slump, and Gao Wen may not have no chances in the next serve to win the game. Obviously, Mayer hopes that If he can win in straight sets, he will not give up easily.
As a result, Mayer missed three game points, and Gao Wen missed two break points and counting. The two sides returned to a tie for the sixth time, and each shot took a long time. On the one hand, Gao Wen reduced the risk of hitting the ball. On the other hand, Mayer's defensive ability is excellent, so this round has been played for twelve minutes, and it is still not over.
... kick the ground! Backhand! Slash!
"40: ad".
ah!
Ahhh!
Gao Wen clenched his fists to cheer for himself, and got the third break point and inventory with a solid backhand slash, and the blood in his eyes returned.
He just stared at Mayer like this, with a murderous look.
Facing a break point again, Mayer attacked an outside corner and suppressed Gao Wen's backhand - this serving tactic is rarely used today, because everyone knows that Gao Wen's backhand is indeed capable of resisting and hitting, and has the ability The ability to return aces does need to be more careful.
The sneak attack at a critical moment broke Mayer's relatively conservative and stable character, which was indeed very unexpected.
Gao Wen couldn't make an accurate prediction.
but!
At the critical moment, concentrate on it, achieve unprecedented concentration, and the conditioned reflex is very fast.
Kick off! stride! sprint!
After two big strides, Gao Wen was already in place in time. He completed the backhand with both hands early, exerted all his force along the forward kick of his body, and swung it out in one go. It was obvious that the speed of the racket had increased completely, fully The turning action will hit the tennis ball.
boom!
boom!
The tennis ball turned into a ray of light and shot out like a shooting star—
slash.
Because the state and feel were not at their best, Gao Wen did not take the risk of challenging the straight line, but hit the diagonal line along the direction of force, and the angle and landing point were not completely torn apart, but the whole force movement was very solid and full, Complete the return of the ball head-on.
"Power vs Power"!
"Serve vs Backhand"!
It collided strongly like Mars hitting the earth.
Immediately afterwards, you can see that Mayer adjusted his position in two small steps in a row~www.mtlnovel.com~Although he predicted Gao Wen's oblique return, and the angle was not torn apart, his shot The ball is not affected too much, but the power and speed are above expectations, breaking the balance.
cutting!
At the critical moment, Mayer still did not dare to attack hard. After all, his backhand is really difficult to get benefits in terms of frontal collision. The cutting is almost like a survival instinct/ability to complete the defense, and even stepped back a little half a step , to increase the force of frictional rotation as much as possible.
bass.
The tempered steel turned into soft fingers, and Mayer unloaded all the strength from Gawain's thunderous shot, and flew over it wobbly and waddlingly, like a dancing butterfly.
However, before Mayer's impacted footsteps had time to adjust, he could already see Gao Wen who was raiding the Internet in his field of vision, and his tall and straight figure covered the audience.
