Chapter 1219 Mental Fluctuations

Gao Wen swore that he really didn't pretend to be aggressive.

If it is a hard court, due to psychological game and tactical considerations, Gao Wen may indeed make a layout and apply psychological pressure. The aura contest is a part of the game.

But here is clay, a brand new venue, and a new experience. Gao Wen needs to learn, adapt to and adjust a lot of content, and he does not have such energy and thought.

At this time, Gao Wen's brain was running at high speed, and he had already looked forward, thinking about how to proceed with his next serve.

However, people are famous in the arena.

This back view, in the eyes of Puy, looked tall and mysterious. Such a wonderful and powerful winning point completed the counter-break, and there was no celebration?

Actually!

Puy's confidence has taken some hits.

Although he just defeated Tim in the first round, in fact, in the three years since he entered the professional arena, Puy's strength has not quickly caught up with the intensity of the profession, and he is more active in the challenge competition. He did not break through the world ranking until this year. Into the top [-], the ATP events did not have too many outstanding results.

At the beginning of the year, the Australian Open stopped in the first round, and all the three Grand Slams he participated in so far stopped in the first round; the Sunshine Double Championship last month did not enter the main draw list.

Moreover, when he was a teenager, Puy was not a favorite of heaven, and there were many confusions before turning to the professional arena, and everything was uncertain.

At this moment, looking at Gao Wen's calm back, Pu Yi couldn't help but waver a little:

Could it be that the gap between himself and Gao Wen is really that obvious?
Take a deep breath.

Take another deep breath.

Pui controlled his emotions, regained his focus, and regained his footing——

This is also an advantage of Puy, not easy to panic.

In the Paris Masters at the end of last year, Puy played with a wild card. As a result, he won two games in a row, broke into the third round, and lost to Federer with two "6:4".

Obviously, even Federer, Puy did not lose his armor and collapsed. He still stabilized his position at the critical moment and played his own level.

Of course, the situation in Paris is different now and last year, and the pressure is different.

At that time, I was barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, and I had nothing, so I gave it a go; now I have expectations for myself, but since the opening of the new season, I have repeatedly hit the wall. Maybe the performance in the Challenger League and the Tour is gradually on track, but Grand Slam and An important event like the Masters is still in a mess.

The seeds of self-doubt have already been quietly planted.

After coming to Monte Carlo and defeating Tim, Puy has firm belief again. He believes and expects that he can defeat Gao Wen and become famous overnight——

It's like a Hollywood fairy tale.

But now...

calm down!

concentrated!

Focus!

Pui cut off the bustling thoughts in his mind and regained his focus——

The biggest characteristic of tennis games is that one point, one round, or even one set may not necessarily determine the outcome of the game, and everything is possible.

Moreover, the clay court is even more so.

Anyway, it was just a reverse break, and it was just a matter of starting all over again. Puy still had a chance when Gawain served in the next game.

Facts, too.

In Gao Wen's serve game, Puy slightly changed his tactics, became more active and aggressive, and increased his aggressiveness. Although it was accompanied by some unforced errors, he could still feel that Gao Wen's on-the-spot response was not hard. The ground came freely, and there were some loopholes in the serve game.

After three equal points, Gao Wen missed two game points and also saved a break point. It took a little more than 6 minutes before he finally secured serve in a thrilling manner.

In the last point, Pui had created a chance, but he was a little anxious to shoot the forehand, which resulted in the net, which made Pui very annoyed.

Amidst the exclamation of the audience, Pui stood on the spot, looked down at his racket, and then slowly adjusted the line, trying to make the line tidy again.

He needs a little time to buffer.

After taking two deep breaths, he finally calmed down, turned around to look at the caddy, nodded his head to indicate that he was ready, and entered his serve——

From "3:0" to "3:3", the score fluctuated greatly, and it has entered the intraday stage in a blink of an eye, which also means that the smoke of competition is gradually getting stronger.

"40:15".

Pui really didn't panic, kept his focus, quickly established an advantage, and won two game points in his own serve, and the serve was imminent.

Once the serve was successfully secured, Puy was able to overtake the score again, leading "4:3", and then pushed the pressure at the end of the first set to Gao Wen.

At this time, Pui's attention was a little distracted, and he seemed to have taken the first step. He began to think about how to attack and apply pressure in the next game of Gao Wen's serve after securing serve, and how to create opportunities and break the balance. In the first set It has come to the moment when the bayonet sees red.

result--

A serve attack, the forehand straight out of the bottom line.

Once Gao Wen returned the ball deep and hit it near the baseline, causing irregular bounces. Pui missed the hitting point and accidentally sent the tennis ball flying.

Split!

A mistake, an accident, the situation is changing, just holding two game points, lost them all in a blink of an eye, and then the serve game became tense again.

Pui couldn't believe his eyes, he still kept his forehand swing, and carefully looked at where Gao Wen just hit the ball:

The ground looks very flat and nothing special, but the rebound of the tennis ball after landing is irregular, and it looks like it should have stepped on a landmine.

This……

But what else to do?

Can only admit.

That's the case with clay courts, where the Thunder come and go, playing an uncertain role.

In one breath, it was blocked in the chest like this.

Pui's batting action slowly recovered, and he took two steps forward, grinding the ground heavily with the soles of his shoes, trying to smooth out the mines with brute force.

call!
Then, he let out a long breath of turbid air, regained his composure, turned his back to the court, and lowered his head again to straighten out the line.

Such a simple repetitive action makes the line of the shot neat again, and can clear up the complicated thoughts in the mind, just like someone likes to pinch the bubble film, the sound of popping can calm the mood, meaningless movements, but Just being able to focus.

Continue to serve.

a district.

Inner corner?Or outside corners.

On the whole, today’s game has started for more than 30 minutes. Puy’s serve still suppresses Gao Wen’s forehand. This is a tactical strategy, especially on clay. Because of the ball’s speed, spin and bounce, Gao Wen’s forehand is indeed less stable and more careful.

So far, the strategy has worked well.

So, should he keep going?
toss.

Kick off.

Swing.

... the outer corner.

It was the outside corner again, suppressing the forehand, and this time Puy changed his strategy slightly, reducing the speed of the ball, tearing up the angle, and using the field to the extreme.

A shallow and wide outer corner directly pulled Gao Wen out of the singles line; at the same time, Pui's footsteps had already entered the court——

Although he is not serving the ball to the net, he is ready for the offensive connection within the bottom line. In the original tactical routine, offense and oppression have been added.

Puy, the tactical strategy is still very clear.

however--

"Out."

Because Pui's angle was too wide, the result was that the first serve was called out of bounds, and the first serve changed to the second serve, and the whole situation was different.

Moreover, the tactical intention of Puy's first serve has also been exposed, so what should be done for the second serve?
