Match point

"...Hey, Yannick."

Gawain's voice came from across the court, and Sinner stopped in his tracks and looked up.

"Don't think too much for now, let's start with the baseline shot, shall we?"

Gao Wen made a proposal, and Sinner nodded ignorantly, and then saw Gao Wen pointing to his head, indicating to stay focused.

Sinner took a deep breath—

He knew he was nervous, but he didn't expect to be so nervous.

Standing in front of Gao Wen, Sinner hit the ball into the net continuously, and couldn't even hit the most basic rounds. The whole practice seemed very broken.

Although all the audience around were applauding and cheering for Sinner, Sinner did not relax because he knew that they were just encouraging the children.

From any point of view, Sinner is just a child, and he is thin and weak, with a thin body, and even his batting action is not stable enough. It only takes a strong wind to blow him down; standing in front of Gawain , no one has high expectations for Sinner, it's pure entertainment.

However, Sinner didn't think so——

He hopes that he can perform well, after all, such opportunities are not available at any time.

It's not for scoring or anything else, but I hope that I can show my strength in front of idols and continue to work hard with Gao Wen as my goal.

Sinner was not satisfied with his performance.

Obviously, Gao Wen also noticed it.

After being reminded, Sinner looked down at his palm, only to notice that there was a thin layer of sweat on his palm.

call.

Taking a deep breath, and then exhaling it again, I closed my eyes and recalled what Gao Wen said just now:
focus.hit the ball.

Because the muscles are stiff and the brain is muddled, don't think about tactics, layout, technique, etc. for the time being, just treat it as a baseline hitting practice.

He believes in himself.

kick the ground!

Toss!

Cinna, serve.

Sinner, who is only 13 years old, is obviously still in the growth stage. The current height is limited, coupled with the thin body, the lack of strength is predictable, which also affects the quality of the serve. There is almost no tail strength to speak of. More is to pursue The landing point and speed, trying to bring up the rhythm of the round ball.

But for Gao Wen, there is only speed but no strength, and there is almost no suppression at all. His return serve is very easy.

Of course, this wasn't a competition, not even a practice match, and Gao Wen didn't intend to bully the kids, so he didn't pursue perfection when he returned the serve.

Return the ball and get back to Sinner's backhand.

Sinner moves in large strides continuously, sets up a backhand with both hands, and swings it sweepingly, focusing on avoiding thinking about the line and landing point as much as possible, but focusing on hitting the tennis ball into the court and increasing the impact of his own shots Li, this time——

It worked!
Back and forth, rounds of balls, finally stalemate.

Gao Wen quickly noticed that Sinner's backhand was solid enough, stable enough, and had a certain impact, which was a little surprise.

Careful analysis, there are reasons for this.

For most players, the forehand is often stronger than the backhand, because the forehand is easier to exert force, and the backhand is because the grip method limits the integrity of the swing.

But a small number of players are exceptions, such as Zverev Jr., Medvedev, Sinner, etc., they are all typical players with stronger backhands than forehands, and they have one thing in common——

The body is relatively thin and the strength is relatively weak.

Because of their height, in order to ensure the flexibility of movement, they must sacrifice part of their strength training, so as not to make their bodies too clumsy; naturally, without the core strength support of the tennis waist, they will lack stability when exerting force on their forehands , unable to fully close the force.

Correspondingly, the two-handed backhand benefits from the support of the left hand, the swing movement is more stable, and the strength of the foot and waist is also more coherent, which also makes them not only more resistant to blows in the backhand position, but also more capable Make more attacks and become your strongest weapon.

Although Sinner is only 13 years old now, the impact of his height cannot be seen for the time being, but at this time he can already feel that his backhand position is more solid and stable. The power output is also better and thicker, and the performance is good.

When Gao Wen didn't use his strength and fed the ball as much as possible, the back and forth rounds became stalemate, and Sinner led the offense from the bottom line, and the shots at the left and right ends were very powerful. Sweeping away the dullness of repeated mistakes ahead, won applause and applause from the scene.

One come, one go.

Mutual exchange.

Sinner tried his best to attack in an all-round way, attack both sides, and attack and defend.

However, Gao Wen on the opposite side of the court still seemed to be walking in a leisurely manner, whether it was moving or hitting the ball with ease, he did not feel too much impact.

People who don't know how to eat melons may think that it should be because Sinner is too young, so the threat is not enough.

True professionals and experienced fans can see that standing on the clay with both feet fully demonstrates Gao Wen's ability on the defensive end, predicting, moving, wrapping, maneuvering, controlling, etc., making full use of the characteristics of the clay. The way the defense returns the ball appears to be very diverse.

Indeed, it taught Sinner a lesson.

Here, what is displayed is not the demeanor of Gao Wen as a Grand Slam champion, but the depth and thickness of Gao Wen's tennis wisdom, which is really eye-catching.

At last.

Sinner couldn't attack for a long time. Instead, he mishandled Gao Wen's slightly deeper return. His swing was a little slower, and the speed of the racket head was not fully raised, so that the closing motion obviously did not complete the closing. Hitting the tennis ball directly ended the round.

28 shot!

Roar!
hoo hoo hoo!
The lively audience whistled and clapped their hands one after another, cheering for the young Sinner——

The whole place is boiling.

In a trance, it seems that Sinner is a top superstar.

On the edge of the court, Mark looked at his sweaty brother in disbelief, with shock written all over his eyes.

Of course, Mark knows that in exhibition games, especially those involving teenagers/children, the audience always gives applause and cheers to those children without hesitation. Even an ordinary performance can win a lot of applause. Use strict standards to require them to be excellent.

However, when the audience applauded and whistled for Sinner, the shock was still overwhelming.

So much so that Mark stood there dumbfounded.

All the while, Mark had refused to admit that he was jealous of his brother—

Definitely not jealousy.

Since he was a child, his parents' energy has been tilted towards Yannick.

"Yannick's going skiing for the weekend so we can't go to the amusement park", "Yannick's going to be late for tennis lessons can't you take care of yourself", "Mark I'm sorry we can't go to your band show because Yannick has a game why You're not going with us"...

Yannick Yannick Yannick...

It's all Yannick, and their whole family has to revolve around Yannick. Mark can't feel his own existence, like a rootless duckweed.

Although Mark kept telling himself over and over that there was no need to be jealous of his brother, he couldn't help but feel sad after being left out repeatedly.

But today, Mark realized that there seemed to be some deviation in his thinking.
