Chapter 1129 Limit Extension
Pedal, push!
Hurry up, speed up!
Straight line, fight!

Back serve ace.

Gao Wen raised his chin to look at the landing point, and then looked at the racket. He didn't celebrate, but turned around and walked to the other side, preparing for the next point duel.

In the opening stage, there is a certain amount of luck and probability for good shots and bad shots. There is no need to be annoyed by mistakes, and there is also no need to be excited by scoring. Especially in the link of serving and receiving, it is still warming up. Collecting data and testing the status is the top priority.

"40:40".

Next, Zverev Jr., who is still in charge of serving, takes the initiative, unless——

double fault.

Accompanied by the dull sound of "snap", the tennis ball once again had a head-on collision with the net, and then returned to Zverev Jr.'s court.

He failed to pass the net belt twice in a row.

At this moment, he could clearly feel the pressure that Gao Wen put on Zverev Jr., not only outside the court, but also on the court.

Although Zverev Jr. won three points in a row at the beginning, Gao Wen has been trying to make changes in the link of receiving and serving. The high ball with strong topspin produces different effects in each of the three receptions.

The pressure piled up little by little.

Zverev Jr. realized that he needed to rely on the first serve, and the quality of the first serve had to be guaranteed. As a result, the first serve hit the net belt and flew out of bounds. Immediately afterwards, the pressure on the second serve multiplied.

Then, the second serve went out to the net and sent a break point with a double fault.

"40: AD".

To be honest, the first game was not very good——

Either serve to score, or make a mistake to lose the ball, the ball did not stalemate throughout the round, and all ended within three shots, and the game seemed a bit scattered.

The lack of sufficient confrontational intensity is obviously not what the audience wants to see in this "Youth Storm" duel.

The atmosphere at the scene was also a little loose. At the beginning stage, I was absent-minded and my attention was not concentrated. If the game can't attract attention, it will be even worse...

In the stadium, rustling noises continued to surge.

After the Australian season, returning to North America, I almost forgot how "noisy" the North American audience is, which is completely different from Melbourne.

Zverev Jr., who was about to serve, paused for a while and waited for the referee to maintain order twice before getting ready again.

call!
Zverev Jr. took a deep breath, trying to relax his muscles, maintain concentration, and retrieve a very precious shot.

Assuming that this time the first serve can enter the zone, how should he arrange it?
a district.

Little Zverev took a look at Gawain's stance, as usual, a little closer to the forehand.

Generally speaking, when players receive the serve, their positions are often close to their stronger side, but their attention is always protecting the weaker side——

What is the principle?

It's very simple. If the strong side is strong, it is possible to start an attack at any time, and win better offensive opportunities by standing up;

But the weak side is the direction where the opponent may concentrate their attacks. The point is that no matter what the position is, the weak is the weak. It is often very difficult to launch a counterattack when receiving the serve, so it is better to give up the position and use attention. Concentration to complete the protection, but give up the position to the more powerful side, and once the opportunity is seized, it will be able to counterattack.

Of course, this is only "generally speaking".

The specific situation is ever-changing.

Not to mention between players, even the same player may change his tactics by adjusting his serving position for different scores, different rounds, and different situations in the same game.

After all, tennis is a game that is constantly changing, and it is very difficult to win a game if the level remains the same.

Gao Wen's position did not change, and Zverev Jr. could not see why.

He still needs to continue to stick to his tactics.

kick the ground!

Toss!

Swing!

outer corner.

Again and again, Zverev Jr. chose the outside corner to suppress Gawain's backhand; and, this time, Zverev Jr. fought.

Fight serve!
Obviously, Zverev Jr. also knows that he not only needs a shot, but also needs a shot to create a threat, otherwise the opening situation may be tighter.

So, Zverev Jr. fought.

At this moment, it is still possible to see the talent and ability of this talented boy, the media really did not talk nonsense——

To serve, you must have speed and speed, and you must have a landing point.

A serve with a speed of 210 kilometers per hour accurately landed in the small triangle area of ​​the service area diagonally opposite, and then flew out with a full rotation.

From the point of view, it is a perfect mirror image of Gao Wen's second serve, which was directly returned by Gao Wen's ace in the previous point, but the difference is that speed and strength are two different things.

This time, Gao Wen didn't say he tried to fight, he was even reluctant to connect the ball, very, very reluctant.

"Humph."

Gawain let out a muffled grunt, this serve was indeed excellent:
If it wasn't for the strong topspin after landing and rebounding, which allowed the tennis ball to have enough time in the air, it would be impossible for Gao Wen to touch the tennis ball. It was [-]% an ace. Not optimistic.

Because when Gawain's footsteps were in place, the tennis ball had already flown obliquely above his head.

Imagine that Gao Wen is 193 centimeters tall, and now the tennis ball is still on top of his head, the vertical height should have exceeded 230 centimeters.

Under such circumstances, how did Gao Wen swing his racket?

Moreover, it is still a backhand with both hands!
Gao Wen's body couldn't stretch at all, he was completely restrained by the position of the tennis ball, and finally he could only let go of his left hand, and used his right hand to hold the racket, barely touching the high point.

Literally: a rub.

That's all.

There is not enough time and space for Gao Wen to complete his swing, so the only thing he can do is to use the short time when the tennis ball is in contact with the racket string, as well as his extended swing and wrist dexterity to increase friction and use Xiao Zi The reaction force of Vilev's serve force pushes back.

I hope this rub can bring the tennis ball back to the court.

But if it doesn't work, then it's not working. It must be admitted that the opponent's serve is excellent. This is the importance of serving in men's games.

rub!
Tennis ball, spinning rapidly, Gao Wen cut a strong backspin within his ability, cut hard from the position of the head, and then realized that he was out of position.

The footsteps were completely pulled out of the doubles line, even more than two meters away from the doubles line.

Stop and turn quickly.

With a kick, the strength of the left leg pushes the body back strongly, continuously sprints horizontally with large strides, returns to the doubles line, and continues to move laterally.

Sight, looking for his return ball——

What about tennis?
Light and floating, wobbly, like the shivering dead leaves in autumn, crumbling in the violent wind and rain, it seems that they may collapse at any time.

but!

Back in the field!

Back in the field despite having no line control or angle control, no power or spin at all!
Unbelievable!

Immediately afterwards, Zverev Jr. followed and entered the bottom line!
