Match point

It is true that Zverev Jr. is not afraid of backspin, but the point is that tennis is not black and white, and the same backspin also hides many details.

It's like the ball in front of me——

On the previous ball, Gawain chose to hit lightly, combined with topspin, along a straight line, but the landing point was slightly shallow. Therefore, Zverev moved his steps forward slightly, almost extending his body to reach the ball.

For this ball, Gao Wen chose to use force, combined with backspin, also along a straight line, but the landing point was already close to the bottom line, the whole extrusion and impact were completely different, and at the same time the backspin ball was also drilled into the ground, so that little Zvi Lev's position was squeezed. He was so tall that he couldn't squat down at all.

In other words, Gawain took advantage of little Zverev's own physical condition and created a trap.

This is the strength of the layout, but also the fineness of the control. It does not need to be opened and closed, but it pushes the little Zverev into the abyss inadvertently.

Ah!
The strength in Zverev's dantian burst out, and he led the shot with his forehand early, but soon realized that his footsteps were fully squeezed, and even if he led the shot ahead of time, it was still too late.

This is the real hidden needle in the cotton, and the little Zverev has been pushed to a desperate situation without making a fuss.

The footsteps were messy for a while, and the forehand hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull the shot, trying to pull the backspin up from the bottom up, but the center of gravity of the body was directly overturned, and he staggered back and forth again and again.

Oops!

Oops Oops Oops!

Zverev made a series of adjustments in his footsteps, and at this time it was too late to think——

It was obviously a head-on collision, but why did he fall into a passive position? Not to mention exerting force. In the end, he could only rely on his hand to hit the tennis ball back. He was already facing a crisis before he even had time to notice.

Because he needs to focus on Gao Wen's next shot.

Continuously adjusting small steps, while the center of gravity of the body is tilted to the left, the entire backhand court has been cleared, and Gawain only needs to hit the ball with one shot to further push Zverev Jr. into the abyss.

left?

really!

Little Zverev was overjoyed: I guessed it right.

It can be seen in the line of sight that after continuous adjustments, Gao Wen hit a backslash with his forehand sideways, and pushed the tennis ball over lightly and nimbly.

Zverev Jr. is moving in the right direction.

But as soon as the footsteps were taken, Zverev Jr. realized that Gawain's shot was not very accurate——

It seems that in order to pursue rhythm compression, Gao Wen speeded up his sideways forehand shots, so neither the line nor the landing point pursued the ultimate.

Gao Wen responded with a backhand slash from the middle, but the angle was not completely broken.

Zverev Jr. was going to sprint with all his strength, but he needed an emergency brake and stopped in the middle near the left half.

opportunity!

Zverev Jr.'s eyes lit up, and the opportunity to reverse the decline was in front of him. He backhanded quickly with both hands, and his body was obviously pressed forward, ready to exert strength.

Aha!

Seeing the landing point of the ball, Zverev became more active and urgent, because Gawain's return ball landing point was not too deep and had no squeezing effect at all.

Zverev Jr.'s backhand with both hands has a stronger sense of facing forward, and the speed and strength are obviously increased. He is ready to push a deep area in the middle and squeeze Gao Wen.

boom!
There was a crisp sound when the racket string collided with the tennis ball, which was solid and accurate. During the high-speed movement, he braked urgently to control his footsteps and complete the attack. From these details, we can see Zverev's physical talent. He has turned the situation around and is on the right track. When preparing to continue the stalemate——

"Out of bounds!"

The bottom line referee called out again.

Little Zverev kept his racket swing in mid-air and was immediately stunned.

How can it be?

This was the second time in this inning that his hit was called out of the baseline, but how could it be possible?
After sending three consecutive break points for the first time, is it necessary to send the serve game for the second time?

No!Can!can!
Zverev Jr. directly raised his right hand and chose Hawkeye to challenge.

After declaring his challenge, Zverev Jr. turned to look for his players' box, but it wasn't easy because there were so many Arthur Ashe Stadiums.

For a moment, he was a little confused, spreading his hands, his eyes filled with confusion.

He doesn't understand.

"Zverev chose Hawkeye to challenge, the left court, the bottom line, and the initial penalty was-out of bounds."

The voice of the referee came, but was drowned out in an instant.

The entire Arthur Ashe Stadium seemed noisy and unwatchable. In fact, this game was still not good to watch. Zverev made too many mistakes on his side, and the confrontation and tug-of-war did not end in a stalemate; but waves finally appeared, and the game The balance also seems finally to be broken.

As a result, one or two people couldn't control themselves, and they started to make noises, and they started discussing in a bustle, was this ball in or out of bounds?

On the big screen, the picture appeared quickly.

Out of bounds.

Moreover, the deviation was not at 01:30, and a whole ball was shot, which was obviously out of bounds. There was no point in Hawkeye's challenge at all.

Shhh!
The audience booed everywhere and began to complain about Zverev without hesitation. The results of the two Hawkeye challenges in this round were very obvious and outrageous. The referee's judgment was accurate and there was no controversy or confusion , Zverev Jr.'s Hawkeye challenge seemed petty.

So, he doesn't trust the referee?
Shhh!
After finally catching some waves, the audience could no longer hold back their emotions. One or two hissed one after another, but it could be seen from the smiles on their faces that they were just joining in the fun, not really booing Xiaozi Vilev.

But, for Zverev Jr., there was no difference.

"2:3".

Gawain is ahead.

Although Zverev Jr. saved two break points, he was still unable to escape the third and sent serve with a mistake.

But what is going on here?

Not only Zverev Jr., but the audience at Arthur Ashe Stadium also had question marks on their heads:
The first four rounds were uneventful, so why did the painting style change suddenly?
"...Little Zverev is still too excited."

"In competitive sports, it's a bad thing to be under-excited, and it's also a bad thing to be over-excited."

"The two turnovers of '0:30' and '30:40' in this game are actually the same reason."

"Jr. Zverev was too excited. He wanted too much force, too much pressure, and too much control of the situation. Instead, he didn't suppress the parabola of the return ball. He used too much force when he went out of bounds twice. Basically Made the same mistake twice and ruined the serve."

"It can be seen from Gao Wen's control of the landing point of the return ball, and he has also noticed this."

"So, Gao Wen's batting is deep and shallow, alternating light and heavy, and even deliberately sold some flaws. Zverev Jr. eagerly wanted to catch it, and reversed the situation with a beautiful attack, but the overall batting control was obviously too much. , coupled with Gao Wen's conscious guidance, the returned balls went out of bounds continuously."

"In terms of technical statistics, these two points are all unforced errors by Zverev Jr., but as far as I am concerned, this is a mistake led by Gao Wen after making a trap."

"Zverev needs to calm down now, otherwise the game will soon enter a rhythm that Gawain is familiar with."
