Match point

Chapter 1127

"40:15".

Gao Wen raised his chin and glanced at the point where the return ball landed, then nodded lightly, without any more expressions or movements, not even celebrating, just a calm expression on his face.

Gao Wen knew the power of Zverev Jr.'s serve. Serving and receiving serve is an important part of today's game, so he needs more reference data.

From the first point, Gao Wen was observing Zverev Jr.'s serve line, and tested his own serve, looking for opportunities to break the situation.

In fact, if you observe carefully, you can notice that in the previous point, Gao Wen's return serve was a little longer and went out of bounds, so Zverev Jr. served straight; in this point, Gao Wen's return serve just hit the bottom line, forming a squeeze, which directly caused Zverev Jr. to fail to control the return serve.

From Gao Wen's point of view, these two points are all tests, and there is more or less luck involved, so it is not worth celebrating, and the next step is to continue to explore.

However, Gawain's calmness and calmness, in the eyes of little Zverev, was a different situation——

How to see, how to hate.

Little Zverev looked down at the landing point of Gao Wen's return just now, took a deep breath, and told himself secretly:

luck.Pure luck.

Turning around, Zverev Jr. asked the caddy for the ball, and then collected his thoughts, should he continue to press the forehand?Or should I sneak a backhand?
a district.

outer corner.

Forehand, forehand, forehand, endless forehand.

Among the calculations and counter-calculations, Zverev Jr. chose to continue to suppress Gao Wen's forehand this time. To some extent, it can be regarded as a coup.

Although Gao Wen was not surprised that Zverev Jr. chose the outside corner, but when he actually saw the ball coming, his reaction speed was slower than the previous point——

Gao Wen also did not expect that Zverev Jr. would be so persistent, choosing to suppress the forehand for five consecutive serves, and he didn't know whether to call it bold or naive.

The starting speed was a little slower, but fortunately, in order to tear the angle, Zverev Jr. slowed down the speed of the first round, and the speed was 199 kilometers per hour.

With a kick and a split, Gao Wen had already thrown his body out, sliced ​​his forehand in a very embarrassing way, and was forced to provoke a high ball.

The tennis ball, high and floating, dives into the air.

This time is a bit different from just now. This time, Gao Wen's return control is obviously not in place, and the power of Zverev's first serve is once again displayed. Therefore, the parabola of the return ball can't be seen far away, and the landing point should be... near the bottom line of the teeing area.

midfield ball.

Zverev Jr. immediately smelled the opportunity, followed quickly, entered the baseline, came to the midfield, and waved the racket impatiently.

In fact, he could have waited for a while, waiting for the second bounce of the tennis ball to hit the ground, and perform a high-pressure landing; but he refused, because he just wanted to be more compact and stronger, and before Gao Wen could react, the volley high-pressure would directly win the game. Domineering.

kick the ground!

bounce!

Swing!

push down!

With the height of Zverev Jr., the coverage area in front of the net is very wide, and he can easily complete the interception in mid-air, but what about the force?

Because the core strength of the waist and abdomen is not so strong, the high-pressure force in the volley is often easy to be tight-not [-]%, but it exists objectively.

Especially when nervous.

Zverev Jr. tried to exert all his strength, but his hand was still tight at the moment of the shot, controlling the face and wrist of the racket, and the strength was not released, completing the high pressure.

boom!
The tennis ball, along the slash, returned to Gao Wen's forehand position again, trying to find a repeat landing point.

however!
Gao Wen didn't leave, he adjusted his footsteps slightly, stopped and turned quickly, and returned to the forehand position in a blink of an eye, with the forehand, he fished again.

This time when he hit the ball, Gao Wen seemed much calmer. Between crossing and changing steps, he gently flicked the forehand calmly, and the control of the entire parabola was completely under control.

Tennis, like a rainbow, runs across the court.

moon ball!
But is this really the best choice?
The 198-centimeter Zverev is comparable to a wall. Standing in front of the net, if you want to pick over his head and enter the boundary, the difficulty of parabolic control is absolutely extraordinary.

That mustard yellow, penetrated into the golden sunlight that filled the sky, and the eyes were full of blue and green, and the whole world was laid out in front of them.

Zverev Jr. is adjusting his steps, taking small steps while staring at the tennis ball.

back.

back.

Still retreating.

Then, the tennis ball has already started to fall.

Oops!

Zverev Jr. realized that the tennis ball might really be able to go over the top and land on the court, and his retreating steps could not keep up.

panic!

confusion!

disturbed!

In a hurry, Zverev Jr. quickly took off while retreating, a high-pressure spike with a backward style, and completed the interception before the tennis ball passed over his head.

"what!"

Soaring into the air, the strength of the waist and abdomen exploded completely, pressing down with all strength, and the body folded towards the inside.

but--

After all, the downforce is still lacking, especially the forehand control in the lean-back state, and there is not enough support.

heh!
The audience exclaimed.

"Out of bounds!"

The bottom line referee's call was very firm, and the point was put to an end immediately, and then the unbelievable shouts of the audience could be seen.

incredible!

Zverev Jr. had taken the absolute initiative, but in the end, the point belonged to Gao Wen.

what happened?

"40:30".

Just 60 seconds ago, Zverev Jr. held three consecutive game points and it was easy to keep serve, but in a blink of an eye there was only one left, and everything happened too fast.

"what!"

Little Zverev bent down, annoyed and depressed at the same time, and let out a low roar from the depths of his dantian, he couldn't believe his mistake.

Then, standing up straight again, without looking at Gao Wen, he turned around and returned to the bottom line.

Even if he doesn't need eye contact, Zverev Jr. can imagine that the guy must be very proud now, and the last thing he needs right now is to see that smug face.

Focus!

He needs to focus.

There is another point.

So, what's next?Continue to suppress the forehand?Suppress the forehand in all six consecutive serves?But isn't it too obvious if the backhand is switched?
Little Zverev's head was spinning quickly, and Gawain's was also spinning quickly.

Second District.

outer corner.

at last!

Zverev Jr. finally made a change and resorted to the classic tactics of the second zone. The outer corner suppressed the backhand, pulled the opponent out of the field, and established an advantage by serving.

pity.

Serve into the net.

Zverev Jr. still hoped to improve the quality of his first serve, but he pressed too hard and hit the net directly, the first second serve of this round.

The air is slightly tense.

Little Zverev's heart was beating wildly, the pressure was overwhelming, and all kinds of messy thoughts surged:

What if this point is lost again?Will Gao Wen grab the second serve?What happens if you enter the deuce?
What tactic should I choose for the second serve?Return to the forehand or continue to suppress the backhand?How did Gao Wen predict it?

In fact, what is most needed at this time is concentration and calmness, but the turbulent thoughts are unstoppable, and the heart seems to be about to burst.

Second serve.

outer corner.

For the second time in a row, Zverev Jr. chose to suppress Gao Wen's backhand. This is the most classic tactic in the second district.

Moreover, this serve successfully entered the zone!
