Match point

Chapter 1262 Concentrated Strike
Snapped.

Pospisir subconsciously blocked in front of the net.

boom!
Dimitrov made an early attack and made a strong kill.

puff……

Pospisil's unbelievable conditioned reflex intercepted the ball, and then pushed the tennis ball back again, drawing a full arc like a rainbow.

The audience is surging.

But before the exclamation and astonishment had time to rush out, he cut off the card stuck in his throat, and then saw Dimitrov jumping backwards.

Flying in the strong wind, white clothes fluttering, a slender and elegant figure rising from the ground, the upper body fully stretched out, accurately appearing on the flight path, completing the interception.

Lean back.

high pressure.

hammering.

And then... Boom!

Heat wave, roll on.

The tennis ball bombarded Bospisir, aiming at Bosspisir's body and colliding head-on like a precise missile attack.

"Ah! Ahhhh..."

Bospisil exclaimed, panicked for a while, and dodged sideways, his knees were weak, and he squatted down in embarrassment. He was robbed, but the lingering panic still made his heart beat wildly.

boom!
The tennis ball hit the gap, landed in a crash, and scored with high pressure.

"30:40".

The break point, the precious break point, appeared again.

But this time, Dimitrov didn't have time to celebrate. He hurried up to the net and looked at Pospisir, who was kneeling on his knees.

"Vasek, sorry, sorry, sorry, are you okay?"

As the saying goes, "you don't hit someone in the face", there is also an unwritten etiquette in professional tennis games:
Hit the ball and don't hit the man.

In terms of tennis rules, once the tennis ball hits a player, the hit player will automatically lose the point. That is to say, even if the point is out of bounds, the player’s body touched the tennis ball before two jumps. It's still a loss.

But the key point is that tennis is a gentleman's sport, and physical contact is completely unnecessary. From players to fans, what is pursued is elegance and etiquette. Man, this is very disrespectful behavior.

Occasionally, even unintentionally, a tennis ball hits an opponent's body and a player needs to apologize, which is basic etiquette.

It is precisely because of this that later, in the games of Sisipas, Kyrgios, Zverev Jr. and others, they all deliberately hit the tennis ball towards the opponent's body to vent their emotions, which was also popular among fans and audiences. They were despised and booed all over the sky, thinking that they lacked the competitive spirit of sports.

It can even be said to vent their anger on the court.

just.

Dimitrov did not do it on purpose. In the case of a high-pressure backside, he must focus on his shot. If he has a slight lack of control or deviation, he will either get off the net or fly. The handling of this high-pressure ball is not Easy, so he didn't see Pospisir's position.

After hitting the ball to form the winning point, Dimitrov didn't want to celebrate at all. He stepped forward to apologize immediately, with a slightly embarrassed expression.

Pospithil, no response—

In fact, Pospisir wanted to stand up and chat with Dimitrov, but his knees softened and he knelt down, his posture was too embarrassing.

After turning around for a while, Bospisil remembered the shameful dodge just now. It was obviously not a big deal, but his behavior seemed to be the end of the world.

His cheeks became slightly hot again, and he was so ashamed that he wished he could disappear on the spot——

Can he just disappear?

Immediately afterwards, Sock walked up quickly with a worried face, trying to ask Bospisil what was going on.

Out of the corner of his eye, Pospithil could see that Sock and Gawain were both approaching, and suddenly became nervous. He didn't want his embarrassed posture to be seen by Gawain.

So, Pospisir quickly stood up, quickly waved his hand in the direction of Dimitrov, and muttered, "It's all right."

Sock was like a curious baby, maintaining a half-squat position, trying to see his partner's expression from the bottom up, "Are you sure?"

Fearing that his embarrassment would be noticed, Bospisil hit Sock's shoulder, and without knowing what he was muttering, he hurried to the bottom line.

Sock stood up straight, shrugged towards Dimitrov, and showed a smile, "It seems to be fine."

Dimitrov raised his hands again with an apologetic face, "Sorry, I really didn't mean to."

Sock waved his hand, and then chased after him in the direction of Pospisil.

Gawain was a little slower, and it was over before he had time to get close, and finally he saw the back of Bospithil leaving in a hurry.

Dimitrov turned to look at Gawain, showing a reserved smile, "It should be fine."

There was a faint light in Gao Wen's eyes, and he could guess with his knees that Bospisil probably didn't want himself to see him in a mess.

Gawain patted Dimitrov on the shoulder to express his comfort, and without saying anything, he immediately asked, "Next point, do you have any ideas?"

In a doubles match, there is usually one player who is responsible for drafting tactics, and it is often the bottom line who is responsible for receiving the serve, but more importantly, the communication between the two sides, the wisdom of two people can collide with more sparks, so communication and layout are very important.

It's generally the same with Thiem and Nadal in doubles, but it's a little different with Dimitrov.

Previously in Indian Wells, Dimitrov was in a state of confusion, so most of his tactics followed Gawain's arrangement. After arriving in Monte Carlo, the two of them seemed to have formed a habit of cooperation, and Dimitrov was still accustomed to obeying orders. But Gawain also realized that the situation needed to be changed, and would often ask Dimitrov for his opinion.

Dimitrov's mind was still on the little accident just now, and his thoughts hadn't fully come back, so naturally he didn't notice the small details in Gawain's words:
next point.

Gao Wen didn't say a break point, but treated this point as an ordinary point.

Although Dimitrov didn't notice it, his mind still followed Gawain's guidance, without tension or urgency, and his brain was working quickly——

"Should we try to grab the net and take the initiative?"

In a tennis match, the serving side is often active, while the receiving side is naturally passive. The concept of "serve game" is the core of the whole sport, so serving and breaking serve throughout.

In doubles matches, this concept is even better, and the advantage of the serving side can be further expanded. One can imagine that it is difficult for the receiving side to reverse the situation.

The point is not whether the receiving side dares to fight for the initiative, but that their "movement space" is very limited, and it is often difficult to stretch their fists. Instead of taking risks to break the deadlock, it is better to see the tricks and look for opportunities.

It's like making a point, grasping a link, predicting and preparing in advance, breaking the balance, and overturning the situation.

And now, Dimitrov realizes, they need to be brave.

Gao Wen didn't say much, but gave a look of affirmation, "I think it's feasible."

Dimitrov's eyes lit up slightly——

So, how should you be proactive?If there is no plan and no strategy to attack blindly, it is reckless, reckless to ruin one's good situation.

In the first set, Gao Wen's team got the third break point. They missed both times before, so what about this time?
