Match point

Lateral movement, cross-stepping, sideways forehand, turning defense into offense, attacking forcefully——

There are various signs that Zverev Jr. needs to face overwhelming offenses, and he has entered a full defensive mode between footsteps.

However, lift it up high and put it down gently.

A change of grip at the moment of the shot is not only concealed, but also sudden, which is the first time in this game, and the pumping has evolved into a cutting. The entire confrontation rhythm was subverted, and the confrontation situation was involved in the storm.

Whirring whirring……

"Ugh."

Zverev Jr. was still young, and showed his outstanding physical talent. After a sudden stop and spin, he started the second time, stopped and spin again, completed a drifting action, abruptly changed the moving path, cut into the slash, and then moved towards the With your forehand positioned diagonally above the service area, sprint.

pity.

Too late, after all, still too late.

Gao Wen's forehand ball was fast and urgent. It not only relieved the force, but also had a strong backspin.

dead ball.

"0:15".

Little Zverev was powerless.

With one shot to receive the serve and another to slice the ball, Gao Wen stood near the baseline, seeming to have no effort, and drew a perfect end to this point.

Little Zverev was a little depressed, not frustrated or angry, but more dissatisfied with himself, because he did not expect this scene at all, which also meant that he was completely at a disadvantage in the offensive and defensive confrontation. Take the initiative, but that's not the case right now.

But it doesn't matter, Zverev Jr. habitually bit his necklace, thoughtfully, turned around and walked back to the baseline, thinking about the next point.

Second district, one shot.

outer corner.

It was another time to suppress the backhand, but this time in the second zone, the wide outer corner serve already had an inherent advantage. The serve at a speed of 186 kilometers per hour sacrificed a certain speed and directly tore the angle completely apart. This is a typical Yangmou. It doesn't matter even if it is seen through, the strength is suppressed.

Gao Wen's footsteps were directly pulled out of the singles line.

Gao Wen was not surprised by this. He knew that Zverev Jr.'s serving ability not only has speed, but also has placement. Among this group of new-generation players, Zverev Jr.'s overall serving ability can rank among the top three. , the only disadvantage is that it lacks stability and is often prone to fluctuations.

Now, just at the beginning, after a short period of instability to adapt to the court and adapt to the environment, the power of Zverev Jr.'s serve has slowly emerged.

Gao Wen was already ready, his body was pulled out as soon as he kicked his feet, and he was still in a hurry, because he already had a countermeasure in his mind.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Continuously intersecting steps, Gao Wen did not choose to reach the target in one step, but adjusted his steps to find the center of gravity, and then backhanded a slice with both hands.

——Not an ordinary slice, but a typical Federer-style backspin slice and serve.

Inspiration, let it go.

After the baptism of the clay court season and the grass court season, Gao Wen's selection and application of skills and tactics are becoming more and more abundant and diverse.

Cutting with one tap, easy to do.

This kind of cutting is both defensive and offensive. Through the strong backspin, it creates the texture of a meteor falling. Still able to win the initiative for myself.

More importantly, because the footstep adjustment is always under my control, there is no need to stop and turn suddenly, and I can quickly return to my position after receiving the serve.

This is the real point.

In this box, Gawain cut a shot, and the tennis ball quickly spun back and got into Zverev's backhand position again, disrupting Zverev's stance.

On that side, Gawain had already quickly returned to the center of the court, watching Zverev Jr.'s offensive connection intently, making preparations in advance.

Zverev Jr. was indeed squeezed. Originally, the classic routine of connecting the forehand attack from the outer corner of the second zone was prepared. Even if Gao Wen returned a diagonal shot, he could choose a sideways forehand; but now the attacking rhythm has been disrupted. The footsteps were squeezed, and the backhand with both hands could only be shot back.

"what."

Zverev Jr. snorted, his body weight sank, and he tried to keep up with the hitting point of the up and down spin. However, because his feet were in a high position, he was completely in an offensive position. In the end, he was still squeezed. The tape was not fully controlled and unsatisfactory.

Pulling the whole body, this is tennis. The details between suppression and counterattack contain too many games.

Immediately afterwards, little Zverev saw Gawain turn sideways again.

Same as the point just now, Gao Wen turned sideways again, made a sideways forehand posture, adjusted small steps continuously, and was already in place with each breath, not only returning to his backhand position, but also There is plenty of time to switch to the forehand, and the smooth pace is really a pleasure.

Little Zverev's heart suddenly contracted, and secretly exclaimed "it's not good"——

what happened?

From the previous point to this point, the entire rhythm seemed to have not changed, and it was still the same as he was familiar with, but the change of just one touch of the ball turned the whole situation upside down.

Little Zverev couldn't figure it out.

Not to mention Zverev Jr. at this moment, all the professionals who are watching the game have not been able to see why for the time being.

As for the real key, only Gao Wen can fully grasp it.

Zverev Jr. was a little nervous, but he quickly adjusted his footsteps and moved towards the center of the court, but this time, the moving speed was somewhat controlled.

Because he can't be sure, what will Gawain choose in the next shot, slash?straight line?small ball?Middle?

He needs to stay mobile.

however.

It was at this point that there was a slight hesitation, and Gao Wen had already made a move on the opposite side of the court.

In the last point, Gao Wen chose to cut the ball sideways with a forehand, which was the first time.

For this point, Gao Wen chose to attack sideways with a forehand, which was also the first time.

The whole shot is very clean and neat, with the knife raised and lowered, and the forehand hitting the ball in a straight line with a whip, releasing all the speed and strength in an instant.

In the first four rounds, Gao Wen seldom opened the line, mainly fighting with Zverev Jr. on the bottom line, which was not at all like Gao Wen's style. The circling proved that Gao Wen's bottom-line hitting ability is indeed excellent.

until now.

In the process of stalemate and game, unrestrained shot selection and bold and careful line selection are the trump cards for Gao Wen to become a top player.

tear.

Just like that, a hole was torn open.

Forehand, straight line, but the landing point is not pursued to the extreme, and the power is not fully released. It is still an understatement, and the tennis ball has turned into a light and shadow.

Zverev Jr. was running towards his forehand position, but he hesitated a little, and when he started to accelerate again, it was too late.

The tennis ball flicked past Zverev's eyes lightly, forming a breakthrough, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

winning point.

"0:30".

Before he had time to catch his breath, he lost two points in a row in this round, but what was even worse——

what happened?

Little Zverev had no clue.
