Match point

Game, calculation, collision, decisive battle——

The whole audience couldn't take their eyes away.

Gawain, with all his concentration, all the figures in the Arthur Ashe Stadium disappeared, the world became completely quiet, and only Federer and the falling tennis ball were in his sight and mind.

Everything is as simple as that.

In fact, in the last point, Federer hit a backslash when his backhand was squeezed. Although it was thrillingly out of bounds, his tactical intention was very clear. He was preparing to use the flexibility of his one-handed backhand to subvert the conventional hitting line. This also sounded the alarm, and Gawain immediately became vigilant.

At this point, Federer's backhand once again tore out an incredible line, and combined with the ball to hit the net, instantly turned the situation around.

Gawain, not panic--

There is no diagonal hitting space in sight. Of course, Gao Wen can rely on his intuition and control of the three-dimensional space of the court to try to hit the ball and turn the situation around again.

But in this case, Gao Wen needs to face a dangerous situation. What if Federer's focus is on the forehand and it is a smoke bomb?In fact, he was still worried about the backhand diagonal line. Then Gawain's hitting would be trapped in his own net, and there would be no room for recovery, completely giving up the initiative.

Gawain knows that no matter which route he chooses, he needs to take risks, because he is now in an extremely passive situation, so he chooses to control the risks in his own hands:
In Go, you cannot focus on one or two moves, but you need to think long-term, five moves, ten moves, or even twenty moves.

then.

Gao Wen's backhand hands were already stretched out, cutting into the gap between the tennis ball and the court, and he gently picked it up, relying on the strength of his wrists to increase the strong friction.

Then, a push.

The angle formed between the racket surface and the wrist is exactly like the badminton hitting technique, which instantly pushes the ball towards the backcourt baseline.

Seemingly simple, it's all about skill.

The tennis ball jumped out, speeding up suddenly, and the sudden upward trend was really amazing.

Federer knew it as soon as he saw it——

Not good.

Gawain did it on purpose. He knew that Federer was trying to get closer to the net and continue to press forward, so his return shot raised a parabola. Once Federer slowed down a little, the parabola of the tennis ball might go over the top; even if it didn't go over the top, it would rise. The trajectory may also force Federer to finish the shot near the top of his head.

The difficulty of hitting the ball skyrockets, and the slower the starting speed, the more difficult it becomes.

In other words, if Federer is still worried about the backhand diagonal shot, the starting speed will inevitably be affected, but Gao Wen guessed that Federer's smartness will definitely not put his eggs in one basket. The smarter he is, the easier it will be. If you think too much, you will inevitably consider everything between calculations and games.

Gawain's calculation also included Federer himself.

really!

Federer did start a little slower.

It's impossible to tell with the naked eye, not even in slow-motion playback, but a subconscious thought caused some deviations in the connection of the startup.

Federer's mind immediately became tense.

but!

Although Gawain had no tricks at all and was even ahead of Federer, even after reaching five or ten steps in one breath, he dug a trap to trap Federer. However, Federer still had the advantage with this shot. His center of gravity leaned forward like a mountain pressing down on him. The steps are already in place with one big stride.

Spread your arms and stretch your body.

pounce.

a cover.

Diagonally above his own shoulder, he intercepted accurately, like a giant dragon, standing unswervingly on the path of Gawain trying to cross the broken net.

Spin, strong topspin, Federer does not even need to touch the ball, you can see the high-speed spinning tennis ball with the naked eye, because his body has stretched to the extreme and cannot exert force now, so Federer can only rely on the buckle of his forearm and wrist, like Like a slam dunk, he dunked the tennis ball back.

It's a pity that the smashing wrist was not fully pressed in time, and the power and line of the smashing were not fully controlled.

The difference is just a tiny bit.

Federer took a step forward, soared into the air like a feather, re-adjusted his center of gravity, kicked the ground hard with his right leg, and supported the ground with his racket, barely controlling his body, and flew back immediately after Gawain's next shot.

what happened?Federer's shot in front of the net returned a diagonal line, trying to push deep into the baseline, but because of a slight miss, the tennis ball landed in the midfield behind the baseline in the service area, and the strength and angle were not enough.

Gawain had already anticipated this route. He immediately pulled back his steps, cut into the doubles line, and then into the singles line. He turned his back to the court and ran all the way, staring at the tennis ball, chasing the tennis ball, barely keeping up with the rhythm of the tennis ball. Without turning around, he kept his back to the court to buy time.

Crotch.Back attack.rebound.Pick lightly.

Gao Wen completed the crotch ball in a very awkward and uncomfortable posture, and completed the ball before the tennis ball bounced up.

The tennis ball swung out on a diagonal line and flew towards Federer's backhand.

Although the line was average and the parabola was not controlled, the containment at the line level was particularly effective, forcing Federer to make sudden stops and turns and then quickly cross the court. When they stood in front of the net, everything was advancing at double speed. So Federer was also a little embarrassed.

On the previous shot, the forehand roc spreads its wings, and on the next shot, the backhand dive reaches the top.

Federer's whole body was already flying, and his one-handed backhand was truly extended to the extreme, completely stretched, with his forearms waving quickly and his wrists pressed down.

what.

Federer also had to make noises, increase the rhythm of the combined force, and try to exert force in the awkward position of his backhand.

Kick back.

The tennis ball flew back again, like a badminton, without even waiting for the tennis ball to hit the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Gawain's figure appeared again.

One step, one step, and the body is flying.

At this time, you can clearly see that Gawain's heels are completely raised, his upper body is leaning forward and extending, and he directly intercepts the tennis ball without waiting for it to hit the ground.

Use both hands to backhand and chop everything.

Push the block gently and go straight.

straight line.

The tennis ball was pushed back again before it hit the ground.

In this compartment, Gawain fell heavily and rolled around like a lazy donkey, but he didn't care about himself at all. After flipping over, he stood up quickly with his hands and feet, looking for the landing point and trajectory of the tennis ball.

On that side, Federer was already shaky. He once again relied on his racket as a crutch to support his body. He tried to start again and regain his center of gravity, but found that he could no longer keep up.

That touch of mustard yellow soars forward lightly, elegantly, and nimbly.

Landing.

Get into the gap.

To cap off this point.

It's over, finally, it's over.

The longest, most stalemate and tightest round since the start of the match is over.

The winning point belongs to Gao Wen.

"2:0", Gao Wen successfully secured his hair.

Ah!
Ahhhh, ahhhhh!

Arthur Ashe Stadium is crazy, absolutely crazy, absolutely crazy.

No one can be an exception.

On the court, Gawain stood up immediately. After noticing that the tennis ball landed on the ground twice, he raised his right hand high and clenched it into a fist, with fighting intent burning in his eyes.

The storm has come, but he is still enjoying it, why not let the storm come more violently?
Be more violent!
Ah, ah, ah, arrogant in the sky, bravely charging into the dragon, the heart of the brave is beating wildly.
