Tennis matches are like this. Between rounds and between points, they are full of variables. The transitions between suppression and counter-suppression, offense and defense are happening all the time. They are ever-changing and can only occur after a long full match. Only by seizing the opportunity and situation can you have the last laugh.
A 26-round duel showed Gao Wen's tenacity and belief, and then he broke Salamento's serve in one go.
Saramento stood there without moving for a long time, looking at Gawain with clenched fists and stern eyes on the other side of the court. At this time, Gawain also had no strength to scream due to shortness of breath and disorder, but his eyes were shining brightly. But I can clearly feel the determination coming towards me, and I am determined to win.
Even if the body has reached its limit, the enthusiasm and desire deep in the soul are still constantly releasing energy, driving the body to push, exert force, and run!
Saramento saw himself, who had just fallen in love with tennis at the beginning. With a passion and persistence for tennis, he ran, sprinted and chased under the sun. But he didn’t know when the fun of tennis started. No longer pure, but to prove himself to his father.
He had almost forgotten the joy that tennis brought.
"Up! Brown bear! Up!"
"We are Trojans!"
The whole audience roared!
Both the home team fans and the visiting team fans burst out with incredible energy at this time. The back and forth, tit-for-tat cheers collided with each other, creating a billowing heat wave that even the sun hanging above their heads was incomparable. Soon, the air in the stadium began to boil.
Along with it, the blood also boiled.
Tap tap tap.
Saramento started beating again and secretly clenched his fists:
Let tennis return to its purity.
He wants to fight hard again, not for his father, not for the future, not to prove anything, just for tennis, just to... release all his passion on this court, and live up to his dreams and his love. , Live up to your youth.
Exhausted, Saramento's eyes lit up again.
"Next, Gao Wen is about to enter his own service-winning game, and there are still four points left before an upset victory over Sacramento, which is ranked seventh in the United States."
"However, Saramento is also a player with outstanding tenacity in the game. He will never give up until the last moment. Now it depends on whether Gao Wen has such a big heart and believes that he can defeat his opponent and win the game. .”
"What needs special attention is that Gao Wen's serve was very smooth in the second set and he did not encounter too many challenges. If there is a sudden violent impact and the pressure of being so close to victory, will Gao Wen be able to stand firm quickly? The heel handles the crisis, which is also the key to the next inning.”
Sampras has experienced countless critical moments in his career, and he immediately got to the core of the problem.
To this, Sofar also nodded his head in agreement.
"Australian tennis legend Rod-Laver's classic saying is that the most vulnerable moment in a game is when you have a match point."
"This sentence is now engraved on the entrance to the center court named after Mr. Rod Laver at the Australian Open, reminding every tennis player."
What does Laver's famous saying mean?
In fact, it is not complicated. Simply put, the tennis match is constantly changing. The technical and psychological aspects have a very close interaction. At the moment when the match point is obtained, a little relaxation of mind may lead to a subversion of the situation.
Because every shot in a tennis match is the result of countless judgments and calculations, the brain is always running at high speed. One point can change a game or a set; in turn, players can also stay calm and make this crucial decision One point becomes an ordinary point and will not affect the overall situation.
In the final analysis, it still depends on the players' psychological quality and mentality adjustment.
Match point can be the last point leading to victory, or it can also be the turning point that overturns the game.
On the court, the sudden change of situation also confirmed Laver's wisdom.
After serving to win the game, Gawain's mentality still fluctuated a little. It was not nervous, but a little excited and excited, and a little urgent——
After such a long, torturous and intense game, he finally came to the edge of victory. With his physical and mental strength reaching the extreme, Gawain was somewhat eager to end the game and win the victory in one go. .
The emergence of such a mentality is ultimately due to lack of competition experience. Even though he is a man of two generations, Gawain's actual competition experience is indeed insufficient.
Fluctuations in mentality can be seen through the route and placement of the shot:
At a critical moment, do you still dare to take bold risks? Do you still dare to hit the ball towards the corners of the court? Do you still dare to take the risk of making mistakes and continue attacking?
For the leading offensive side, these question marks are very real; correspondingly, for the defensive side, it is relatively easy, because they are used to being passively beaten, and they only need to stick to their usual strategy, and for them The most direct and obvious impact is still reflected in the feel, whether the hitting action will be tight, which will affect the quality of defense.
Overall, the offense needs to take risks and the defense is more robust. If the mentality fluctuates, the direct impact can be seen immediately on the offensive end.
Score, "30:40".
"Ah, mistake. Break point appeared."
"This is Gao Wen's second forehand error in this game. At the critical moment, the shortcomings of unstable forehand were exposed again."
"Of course, what must not be ignored is that Salamento's defense is very good. Both the placement rate and the return rate put great pressure on Gao Wen."
"In this game, Saramento really covered the whole court. At least three must-score shots were saved by him tenaciously. It is precisely because of this that Gao Wen's offense exerted more force. Under pressure, Gawain seemed a little anxious, and the route layout was not so calm."
"Now, Saramento got a break point in Gao Wen's service game, which was also Saramento's first break point in the second set."
"Viewers, please don't forget that Gao Wen is still not a player ranked in the United States, and Saramento is the seventh-ranked player in the United States. But judging from the performance of the entire game, we have almost forgotten that this The truth is, it’s only now that I can feel the sophistication of Saramento.”
“The senior students still have a clear advantage in terms of experience.”
In the live broadcast room, Sofar was expressing his opinion, and then turned to look at Sampras.
Sampras, who did not hesitate to express his appreciation for Gawain today, now showed a smile and said, "I have some expectations."
Um? What are these words?
"I'm somewhat looking forward to Gao Wen's handling. The more critical the moment, the more critical the moment, the more potential a player can see, just like tempering. If Gao Wen can save the match point and win the game, then the value of this game will be The value is far more than winning the game smoothly and securely."
