Match point

Chapter 453
Perhaps, Gao Wen is laying out, testing and implementing tactics, maybe not.

Except for Gao Wen himself, no one can know the state of Gao Wen; but what is certain is that Djokovic will never sit still. Into the game, always pay attention to every move of the game.

Serving to win the third set, Djokovic was very focused and dedicated, and quickly established an advantage——

"40:15".

No matter what Gao Wen was planning, Djokovic remained unmoved, and continued to play according to his own rhythm and pace, and then took the lead in getting two sets, and they were two in a row.

As long as there is another point, Djokovic will be able to win the third set and overtake the big score, taking a "2:1" lead in the set.

Everything is under Djokovic's control.

Snapped.Snapped.Snapped.

It can be seen from the rhythm of the shot that Djokovic is very relaxed now and has completely entered his game state. This time the shot didn't last long before he started tossing the ball.

a district.

Djokovic's serving movements are quite secretive, especially the key points are more careful. It is difficult for Gao Wen to predict the landing point from the movement and throwing the ball. He can only make it after Djokovic completes the throwing. reaction.

outer corner.

Stomp, leap, dash forward.

Gao Wen's immediate conditioned reflex threw himself out, he gave up the adjustment of small steps, but took a big step, and his right foot hit the ground hard, and he could clearly feel the impact of the stormy sea-like reaction layer upon layer. It is surging, but the center of gravity of the body is very solid and stable. The upper body is fully extended, relying on the strength of the arm swing to complete the shot.

Forehand!

wave!Hurry up!Bring it!

It was too late to complete the swing, so Gao Wen's wrist turned inward along the direction of the swing, and there was a thrust like a whip.

Faced with the stocktaking, Gao Wen remained unmoved, his attention was highly concentrated, he only focused on the point in front of him, and both his brain and body were running at high speed.

Whoosh!
The tennis ball went straight out, without changing the line or cutting, just a well-regulated draw.

But Djokovic immediately discovered Gao Wen's tactical intention of hiding the needle in the cotton. In fact, in simple terms, Gao Wen was grabbing the serve. The fast swing speed drives the power of the racket head and compresses the time of returning the ball as much as possible.

The ball is still a ball, but the speed of flying to Djokovic's position is very fast.

Moreover, Gao Wen deliberately did not tear the angle and pull an outside corner, but aimed at Djokovic's position and directly smashed a deep return ball.

Djokovic had just completed his serving action one second before, and the next second he found that the tennis ball had reached his feet. He had no time to retreat and adjust, so he could only wrap the tennis ball with a forehand bounce and push A slash went back, trying to restrain Gao Wen's attacking rhythm.

From the second half of the second set to the first half of the third set, Djokovic showed the touch of his peak state. How did he make Gao Wen swallow an invisible egg?

In fact, it is Djokovic's style of play after 2017. Today, Djokovic realized that his offensive touch has not been adjusted to the best, and his serving state is also mediocre. He made mistakes after trying to put the ball several times. It means that his offensive power has been weakened, so he tactically focuses on defense, but still defends with offense——

Djokovic seldom takes the initiative to hit the ball aggressively. The hearty hitting style of Kyrgios and Wawrinka is almost invisible. His returns are often very wrapped and also means safety. The coefficient is very high, ensuring that every shot will reach a safe position.

Then, through the control of the landing point and rotation, the opponent's return line is restricted. If the opponent takes a risk to fight, he must take the risk, so the game situation becomes that the opponent can't beat Djokovic no matter how he hits, but Djokovic It's not a passive defense. From time to time, he hides a counterattack with a change of line, and it takes a blink of an eye to reverse the passive situation.

In a difficult situation where Gao Wen's physical strength is declining, and the success rate of attacking and changing lanes are both declining, Djokovic's fight makes Gao Wen very uncomfortable. This point is like those players with a slightly lower average strength in college before facing Saramento.

Feeling very uncomfortable.

The point is that, first of all, Djokovic has such an ability. He just doesn’t drop the ball, so he can always go one more shot in the face of the other Big Three through anticipation, wrapping and his own flexibility. ;Secondly, Djokovic's counterattack is very sharp and resolute, once an opportunity arises, he can immediately reverse the situation.

This is also Djokovic's unique skill to stand in the ranks of the Big Four.

In 2021, in the top sixteen of the French Open, Djokovic will face the Italian prodigy Lorenzo Musetti (Lorenzo-Musetti).

In the first two sets, Musetti played vigorously and won two tie-breaks in a row, leading by a big score of "2:0". But at the beginning of the third set, Djokovic changed his tactics, just like today, almost Instead of attacking, Musetti allowed Musetti to attack. However, Musetti's offenses all fell into Djokovic's prediction range, and then Musetti couldn't score any points, and it was extremely difficult to score any points.

“1：6”、“0：6”、“0：4”。

Musetti was directly beaten and collapsed, with thigh cramps in the final set, and then was forced to retire when he was behind. In the last three games, Musetti's total score did not reach [-] points.

Djokovic has this ability.

Then?

Then Gao Wen was taught a good lesson and swallowed an invisible egg.

However, in the second half of the third set, the situation was different. On the one hand, Gao Wen was gradually adapting to Djokovic's rhythm, and on the other hand, Gao Wen was recovering after getting through his extreme physical strength, back and forth. The game is naturally different.

Just like this time.

Djokovic was forced to hit a bouncing ball. His bouncing ball is different from Federer and Nadal. Simply put, it is more rounded and wrapped, and the flight trajectory of the whole tennis ball is also more stable. The unparalleled control of tennis is exactly the same as the return from the middle of the second set.

This time, Gao Wen had a different idea.

Early on, Gao Wen used a series of small steps to adjust his stance in the forehand position, and the movement of the racket was fully stretched. He was ready to hit the ball one step ahead of time, and stared at the tennis ball like a torch, as if preparing to exert all his strength. Hit the ball hard.

This made Djokovic also fully vigilant, moving towards the center of the court in small steps, ready for the next shot of defense, and at the same time watching Gao Wen's movements, trying to make predictions in advance.

Draw the ball?

Wait, no, the alarm in Djokovic's mind is going off!
