Whoosh.
Whoosh.
Gawain's thigh muscles are burning, and his chest is rising and falling sharply like a bellows. The consumption of this game is twofold, both physical and mental. In addition, there is also a high-speed mind, because of Nishikori Kei's defensive ability, because of Nishikori Kei's defensive ability, Ori Kei's excellent touch requires absolute concentration for every point.
The consumption of energy is also a severe test for physical strength.
But Gawain knows that this game is fair to both sides. He and Kei Nishikori are not much better. The difference is that Kei Nishikori paralyzes his opponent by presenting it in a revealing and exaggerated dramatic way, while Kei Nishikori is not much better. Gawain hides himself and deceives his opponents in a reserved, focused and devoted way.
In fact, this is still the strategy.
Both players know that after entering the tie-break, the fault tolerance rate decreases sharply, and any accident or luck may lead to different results, so the more critical the moment, the more important the details are.
Nishikori Kei's show of weakness to the enemy is actually inducing Gawain's desire for a quick victory and a quick victory. After all, young players tend to be more eager when facing match points, and after experiencing such an arduous game, it is even more difficult. I hope to win it in one go and avoid unnecessary complications. Naturally, I may be a little impatient and urgent when I take action.
Then, Kei Nishikori can make use of this mentality to make a fuss——
After all, next came his service point.
In turn, Gawain is also telling Kei Nishikori that he does not face physical problems and is ready to continue fighting regardless of match point or not.
From technology to psychology, the competition between the two players is still full of sparks.
But what Kei Nishikori didn't know was that Gao Wen knew that the player in front of him was in good condition and that he had the ability to defeat Djokovic. He did not take it lightly or act too hastily. Look at what they did at the end of each set this afternoon. You will know after one game of entanglement. Even if you get set points, break points, and match points, it doesn't mean anything. Both sides still have the energy to continue fighting.
So, edgy?
It was absolutely impossible for Gawain. Although his blood was boiling, Gawain's brain remained absolutely calm.
The Arthur Ashe Stadium was completely quiet. Gu Xiao could no longer even hear his own heartbeat. His hands were tightly intertwined, and all the strength of his body was concentrated on his hands. He was so hard that his fingers were numb. Deformed, lest one's slightest disturbance might destroy the trend.
"Gawain, calm down, calm down, start from receiving the serve, calm down..."
Gu Xiao continued to repeat this over and over again in his mind, calling for the blessings of the gods and Buddhas in the sky, and he forgot to breathe in a trance.
Snapped. Snapped. Snapped.
Kei Nishikori was shooting the ball. He took a deep breath, controlled his emotions, and then threw the ball.
Flying, spinning, falling.
Gawain's eyes were completely fixed on the tennis ball, grabbing the mustard yellow in the blazing fire cloud. His body muscles responded reflexively, and he stepped out before his brain started to work——
In the second area, close to the inside corner and press the forehand.
Appeared!
At the match point, Kei Nishikori sneaked a serve that was close to the forehand. This is also one of Kei Nishikori's best offensive routines, because the receiving side often has difficulty in completing the complete swing and follows the body to the right. The inertia of lateral movement, the forehand hitting a backhand line, suppressing Nishikori Kei's backhand, this is a conventional line.
Kei Nishikori's two-handed backhand can be used to draw diagonal lines, change it into a straight line, or release small balls. There are many changes.
So, how does Gawain respond?
Take a step! Charge forward!
According to common sense, when receiving a serve from close range, the control of foot movement is very important. It is often easy to be unable to find an accurate position in the inertia of moving footsteps, so that one's own swing is squeezed.
But Gawain's advance movement was very firm and without any hesitation.
One small step! Diagonally above!
It can be seen that Gawain, who is tall and powerful, just took one step, and it was not a horizontal move, but a step in the diagonal direction of 45 degrees. He did not worry about the dilemma of being squeezed by his swing. , taking the initiative to move forward to gain speed——
Grab a shot!
From the conditioned reflex to the starting speed and then to stepping on the ground, it can be seen that before Kei Nishikori serves, Gawain has already made up his mind to grab the return serve.
Even if this was Gawain's match point, he was not conservative. Not only was he not conservative, but he was also sure that Nishikori Kei's weakest serving link might fail at the critical moment.
Wow, the speedometer in the corner of the course immediately showed the first round speed, 113 miles (182 kilometers).
The bet was right!
At the match point, Nishikori Kei did make a fuss with his first serve, trying to suppress Gawain with a close serve. However, in order to ensure the success rate of his first serve, Nishikori Kei significantly reduced his speed. The speed is below the average; and I am worried that Gao Wen will rush to receive the serve, so I dare not lower the speed too low.
As a result, Kei Nishikori's serve dropped to the NCAA level, a serve that was not so fast and not so slow.
Kick the ground! Come forward!
Gawain took a step forward, held the racket very firmly with his forehand, and fixed his eyes firmly on the incoming ball, as if his Cyclops eyes were enough to set the tennis ball on fire.
Then his steps were already within the baseline, and he took the initiative to catch up with him very boldly and riskyly. When there was not enough room to swing the racket, he simply gave up swinging, supported his elbows on his waist, and used a very awkward posture to use The force of twisting the waist pushes the arm, and finally the forearm completes a rapid swing.
boom!
The racket has already completed the impact shot, and at the moment when the racket is about to be released, the wrist force is gently stretched out, and the soft wrapping and pushing have pushed the tennis ball out in a whip-like manner.
Whoosh!
The tennis ball has already flown out like this——
Backslash!
The route and landing point were exactly what Kei Nishikori expected, but Gawain's forward move successfully grabbed the rising point of the tennis ball, so the entire flight speed and trajectory were different.
Got it!
Gawain successfully grabbed a return serve, the most critical and important tactical attack, and then Kei Nishikori, who was completely laid out early, fell into passivity.
Although his steps were already in place in advance, Nishikori Kei's swing space had been "crowded" by Gawain's snapping action, and he no longer had time to swing, but Nishikori Kei still did not retreat and lose his position. Stand firmly about a palm behind the baseline, and stand up for a backhand with both hands.
Not only did he not avoid it, but he also took the initiative to move forward, using speed to control speed!
Kei Nishikori's most iconic shot on the rise also appeared at the match point. When there was no room to swing the racket, he used his backhand to hit and rush, pushing back all the power attached to the tennis ball by Gawain. , relying on the rapid swing of his forearm to tear out a diagonal line, and then rushed back towards Gawain's backhand.
Whoosh!
The tennis ball rushed back as fast as lightning, and the entire depth of the landing point once again suppressed Gawain, and the incredible hitting feel was once again showing off!
