Chapter 1150 Competition Wisdom
If you observe carefully, you can notice that there are still two familiar faces standing on the court, but the content of the game has undergone some subtle changes.

Laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the doorway. Obviously, the duel between these two players is escalating, breaking away from the basic and instinctive confrontation, and starting a game.

Snapped.Snapped.Snapped.

Djokovic was shooting the ball fourteen, fifteen, sixteen times, but he still didn't stop, as if he was going to shoot like this forever.

However, no one cared.

The entire audience stared with bated breath, no one broke the stagnation in the air, because, the second round has come to the most critical moment——

"5:4".

Gao Wen took the lead.

Now, it was Djokovic who had to keep his serve in the second set. However, with a "40:15" lead, he lost three points in a row.

So, send a break point and inventory.

This kind of trend is a little bit surprising. I thought that the second set might need a tiebreaker, but the inventory came out.

Moreover, Djokovic also wasted two consecutive game points.

In the two game points, all of them missed the first serve and were caught on the second serve. Gao Wen scored the winning point through the attack of the first three shots; Generally, no advantage can be established, and Djokovic is forced to return the ball out of bounds through dogfighting.

Therefore, it is understandable for Djokovic to shoot the ball for a while longer at this time:

Everyone knows that first serve quality is very important.

Seventeen beats.

Eighteen strokes.

And then, finally—

Kick off!Throw the ball!
Djokovic's entire hitting action was completely stretched out, he improved his state at the critical moment, and finally recovered the quality of his serve.

The speed is 190 kilometers per hour.

Perhaps, the speed is not fast, but the angle is tricky, Djokovic asked for a serve from the inner corner T point, and it landed on the T point accurately.

In the second district, attack the inner corner.

However, the tactical intention is not to suppress Gao Wen's forehand - although the inside corner is indeed against Gao Wen's forehand, the real purpose is to break the rules.

Generally speaking, the outer corner of the second zone, suppressing the backhand, and mobilizing the opponent out of the sideline through the big outer corner, this is a very classic set of serving tactics in the second zone. This is Nadal's housekeeping skill, but it is not Nadal's unique stunt. Almost All players practice this set of serve and attack.

Djokovic, too, is very good at it.

However, Djokovic showed the world's No. [-] big heart at the critical moment, breaking the rules and attacking the inner corner.

Gao Wen really didn't predict it, especially Djokovic increased the concealment of his serve, and didn't catch any signal at all.

Keep your footsteps light, as if you are stepping on a spring, with a light step, your body has already rushed out, and a big roc spreads its wings.

Forehand, in the limit state, the body has lost its center of gravity, and the footsteps are not stable at all, so it barely blocked a shot——

hum.

The wrist felt numb for a while, as if electrified, and felt the touch of the tennis ball rubbing between the strings, touching the ball, success.

Then, the tennis ball flew out.

The parabola was uncontrollable, everything happened too fast; but fortunately, Djokovic's serve was in pursuit of the angle and landing point, the speed and power were not fully improved, so it was not able to create more impact .

Once Gawain finishes touching the ball, the parabola will not be too outrageous if it is out of control.

At least, without becoming an anti-aircraft gun.

It can be seen from the height of the tennis ball over the net, at least 1.5 meters, the parabola is very full, but the drop curve is also very clear.

Landing between the tee box and the baseline, neither deep nor shallow, a non-threatening half-court ball, there is no doubt that this is Djokovic's chance.

but!

detail.

The more peak duel, the more important the details.

Midway.

Gao Wen barely hit the ball hastily, unable to control the tennis ball, but still controlled the line, and the tennis ball landed within the central area.

To be precise, it is about one and a half steps away from the center of the court towards the backhand area. It should be said that it is closer to the middle point of Djokovic's backhand area. Even so, it is still considered the central area, and the angle is not torn apart. Compress the offensive space for Djokovic's next shot.

Naturally, Djokovic will not miss the opportunity——

Offense, there is no doubt about it.

Djokovic's footsteps have already entered the bottom line at the first time, and, with a sideways forehand, what should have been a backhand shot chose to hit the ball with a forehand.

Forehand backslash.

"what!"

Djokovic yelled because of his exertion.

The reason can be seen with the naked eye. Djokovic tried to catch the beat and stepped into the midfield to complete the shot; but the rebound height of Gawain's return was slightly higher than expected, so that Djokovic had to catch the ball on his shoulder. Hitting the ball in a position directly causes the upper body swing to be squeezed, and only a backward jumping action can resolve the impact and complete the hitting action.

Moreover, because of the landing point of the ball, the angle of the backslash is limited. In order to avoid hitting the ball out of bounds, Djokovic had to increase some control, so that he could not completely let go of his hands and feet and fully exert his strength. Partial adjustments must be made to the squeezed swing action, and the tactical intention of the sideways forehand is completely restrained, which makes himself passive.

The result is--

The angle was not torn apart at all, Gao Wen only needed to make a horizontal step on the spot, and he was already in place quickly and the adjustment was completed.

Backhand with both hands, very solid and very steady, hitting a straight shot:
Straightforward kind.

Tennis, from the middle of Gawain's backhand half, straight back to the middle of Djokovic's forehand.

In fact, the hitting line is still controlled in the central area, and the angle is not torn apart, which also means that Gao Wen's hitting does not require any risk.

So, is this a transition shot?
How can it be!

In the past, this was undoubtedly an opportunity to attack. Gao Wen's backhand could easily target the two corners of the bottom line and launch an attack in a sweeping manner, pushing Djokovic into a predicament. This is also the focus of Gao Wen's double play world number one this year. .

But at this time, Gao Wen chose such a route, not only ordinary, but also mediocre, without any threat, is this really good?

Apparently, none of the bystanders, not even Djokovic, saw the trick.

If Gao Wen aimed at the dead corner of Djokovic's forehand bottom line, then Djokovic's footsteps must be flustered at this time, but now, he has enough time to complete the adjustment.

A series of smooth and flowing footsteps have been adjusted, and they are in place smoothly. The forehand stretches out like a white crane spreading its wings, and sweeps across——

The batting action follows his own moving direction and sprinting inertia, and his strength and speed are completely improved. The awareness of active attack is the key to this game, so he launched a sweeping attack without hesitation.

Forehand slash.

Across the audience.

Aiming at Gao Wen's forehand bottom line and the sideline to hammer, even if it is not a winning point, it can seriously injure Gao Wen and create opportunities for subsequent shots.

however……

"Out of bounds!"

The linesman watched Djokovic's forehand diagonally, and made an out-of-bounds gesture unswervingly, indicating that this is a foul ball.

What... what's going on?
