Boom boom boom!
Ahhhh!
The whole place was boiling.
Heat wave, dense clouds.
Stachovsky felt helpless and looked up at the sky, seeming to be making a silent protest. At the break point, his batting was already very solid and in place, but the result was reversed because of Gawain's inspiration. The situation has changed. Is this luck?
Stachovsky looked at Gawain who was celebrating wantonly and passionately, and exhaled heavily. He was not particularly depressed, and turned around and strode towards the players' rest area——
Having experienced the test of so many top-level events, he would not make a fuss just because of a break of serve. What he needs to do now is to calm down and think about how he should break serve?
"3:2".
With a break lead, Gao Wen returned to the rest area.
In this game, Gao Wen has slowly found some ways out, which is more important than breaking serve.
Stachovsky is a player who plays power ball. He is quite decent and down-to-earth. If he were to compete in power in a regular manner, Gao Wen might still have some difficulty now. Moreover, the comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of the game experience would also be unfavorable to Gao Wen. I'm afraid At the critical moment, the balance of victory will still tilt towards Stachovsky's side.
But Gawain can disrupt Stachovsky's judgment by breaking the rules in some details, which can change the situation and increase the variables of the game.
In fact, just a little change, a little breakthrough, a little accident, invisible interference can catch Stachovsky off guard.
The point is, suddenness and surprise.
In other words, there cannot be too many changes, because frequent changes may allow Stachovsky to adapt to the rules and then find a way to suppress Gawain.
For example, in order to break Stachovsky's prediction, the straight line and the return line of the return ball must be played.
For another example, the cutting, rotation and changes in the ball's hitting disrupt Stachowski's rhythm of hitting the ball at a constant speed on the baseline.
Keep trying and keep raiding, this is the only way out.
When Gao Wen and Stachovsky came on the stage again, the game was still tense. It was not that Stachovsky was exerting force, but that he always maintained the quality of his shots and was not affected by the break just now. , which also means that every point of Gawain cannot be taken lightly.
Stachovsky's basic skills are indeed solid and cannot be said to be watertight, but the average quality of his batting is maintained at a corresponding height. On the contrary, for Gawain, when he is constantly trying to make surprise changes, he may encounter counterattacks if he is not careful, and it is inevitable to lose points.
From time to time, the balance of advantages and disadvantages is always swinging. The variables are all in Gawain's hands and depend on Gawain's own performance. This is a good thing and a bad thing.
In his own service game after Gao Wen broke serve, he encountered two deuces but failed to send a break point. In the end, he struggled to hold serve and established his lead in the first set.
Subsequently, the game entered a stable stage again. Both players created some opportunities and missed some opportunities. As a result, they were unable to break serve again, and then the first set ended calmly.
"6:4".
Gawain wins the first game!
Ho ho ho!
The audience at the scene raised their arms and cheered. Is the dark horse really going to make it to the finals? Is that "not worth mentioning" really going to challenge the top seed?
The short inter-game break is over and the second set begins immediately.
This set was a bit familiar, not because of the game process, but because of Stakhovsky's conscientious hitting. It had nothing to do with the time process or the score disadvantage. He still completed every hit solidly, and the overall performance did not appear drastic. Fluctuation, this is also the biggest difference between Stakhovsky and Gao Wen’s previous opponents.
Although Gao Wen won the first set, the second set had to start from scratch, as if it was a completely new game.
In a daze, it was impossible to tell the difference between the first set and the second set.
From the beginning to the middle, the two sides were in a stalemate all the way to a "4:4" draw. Then Gao Wen took the lead to get the break point, but this time the situation was slightly different.
In fact, both Gawain and Stachovsky's physical strength has begun to decline sharply, and they are not far from the extreme. However, Stakhovsky is obviously affected by injuries and age, and the rate of decline is faster, and then he can It was seen that the quality of the returned balls also fluctuated significantly.
Gao Wen held on for dear life and got the break point through continuous active attacks.
After completing this point, both players were gasping for air. The scorching July sun poured down mercilessly, as if it could drain all the water from the chest. Even if they tried their best to breathe, they couldn't feel much. The oxygen is clear and cool. Now both of them are persisting with willpower. It depends on who can be more tenacious.
The second set was, after all, different from the first set.
At the break point, Stachovsky finally made a first serve, but the quality was unsatisfactory.
The reason why a shot is a first shot is because the strength, speed, rotation and landing point can create suppression, so that it can create a threat; but at this time, Stachovsky, with his physical strength declining, in order to ensure a The success rate creates a deterrent and significantly increases insurance.
Naturally, the angle was not able to open up, so I sent a close serve in an attempt to suppress Gawain's forehand, but the placement choice was still not good enough. In addition, the strength and speed were average, so even the first serve failed. The effect is similar to that of the second shot. I just tried to use the name of "first shot" to show off the power and see if it can scare Gawain.
That's the problem.
Gao Wen knew that Stakhovsky was facing physical problems and the quality of his serve was relatively mediocre. He simply ignored the difference between the first serve and the second serve and was prepared early.
When he saw the landing point of the serve, Gao Wen quickly adjusted his steps and took a step laterally to ensure that his forehand swing could complete a complete movement and fully release the power; at the same time, he leaned his upper body forward. Lean and use your body's strength to support as much as possible.
boom!
The forehand hit was already completed, relying on the rapid swing of the forearm to draw a small diagonal line and hit Stachovsky's backhand.
boom.
It can be clearly seen that Gao Wen did not explode much power, and won more with speed and placement, so the return ball was relatively light and lacked stamina. However, he rushed forward very fast, forcing Stachovsky who had just completed the serve. There was no time to adjust my steps, so I could only hold the racket with both hands in a panic and reach out to fish it out, using the feeling of my wrist to complete the return.
The tennis ball bounced back, and Stachovsky staggered a bit. He was obviously a little unsteady because he lacked the strength to push off the ground. However, he quickly adjusted his steps and held the racket in both hands, preparing to defend the next shot. At this time Only then did I see my own return——
Um?
In a hurry, he actually returned a good quality ball! unexpected surprise!
