Snapped. Snapped. Snapped.
Djokovic is shooting the ball.
Snapped. Snapped. Snapped.
Djokovic is still shooting the ball.
In the opening stage, the atmosphere of the semi-finals immediately became tense. Gao Wen played very proactively, daring to take action and attack. His smooth attack was very beautiful, with two winning points and an unforced error by his opponent, and then He achieved a "0:40" lead and got three consecutive break points.
Dark horse, still performing well.
But in the face of a difficult situation, Djokovic showed the demeanor of being the best in the world. He scored directly with a serve and a straight forehand to form a winning point. In the blink of an eye, he had saved two break points in a row, even if it started slowly. He still stabilized the situation and did not hand over his serve easily.
This is the confidence of a Grand Slam champion.
"30:40".
Next came the third break point. Rather than being nervous, it was more about Djokovic needing to organize his thoughts.
Snapped. Snapped. Snapped.
Djokovic is still shooting the ball.
In the blink of an eye, thirteen shots had been taken. Gawain stood on the opposite side of the net and counted along with him to ensure that his attention was focused on the tennis ball.
finally!
Toss the ball! Kick the ground!
Djokovic is about to serve. You can see the high-speed rotating tennis ball sinking into a gorgeous golden color. Then Djokovic's arm rotates at high speed like a windmill, releasing all his power in an instant——
boom.
First serve, outside corner, backhand.
Strictly speaking, this is the first game. In an encounter, both sides need some time to test and adapt, so the entire serving routine also has a tentative nature.
At this time Djokovic was testing Gawain's backhand.
After five games, Gao Wen’s technical and tactical abilities have been exposed to everyone. Obviously, it is no secret that his backhand resistance is outstanding, but Djokovic needs to know what level of excellence he has. This also provides him with The technical and tactical layout provides more reference.
tread!
Gawain took a big step horizontally and gave up his plan to adjust his position with small steps, not because he was lazy, but because he wanted to grab points——
Receiving the serve to grab the offensive point, and it was Djokovic’s first serve?
Is Gawain crazy?
Maybe it is, maybe not, but at least Gawain is very determined and resolute. The entire pushing action is very determined. He supports the backhand early with both hands. When the steps are not in place, he uses turning movements to increase the swing. With the speed, the upper body also rushed out, and the power of inertia and body weight also added up.
It can be seen that the entire swing is not big, it is pushed quickly in a small space, and then it has hit the flying tennis ball head-on.
In the opening stage, Djokovic was indeed slow to warm up. The angle of the outside corner was not completely separated. In order to control the power of the landing point, the flight speed of the tennis ball was not enough. In the next second, it hit Gao Wen's racket. superior.
Rob!
After the tennis ball bounced off the ground, it just passed the knees and continued to rise toward the waist and chest. As a result, it was intercepted by Gawain's first movement.
boom!
Just before the tennis ball was about to be released, Gao Wen's entire body rushed out. Because there was no time and space to exert force, he could only use such movements to increase the power of the explosive charge.
Whoosh.
In the next second, the tennis ball rushed out, turning into a long streamline and jumping out so lightly and quickly that it was almost invisible.
"He"!
The Arthur Ashe Stadium was filled with low cheers, because Gawain grabbed the first serve very fiercely, and actually got it. His whole stretched body danced like a goshawk, and the collision of flexibility and toughness burst out with incredible charm. .
If it were any other ordinary player, Gao Wen's steal would have directly resulted in an ACE in returning the serve.
But Djokovic is no ordinary player.
He almost didn't have time to move, but he turned around and turned his two-handed backhand into a one-handed backhand, stretching towards the landing point of Gao Wen's return serve.
Then, the soft wrist wrapped the tennis ball, and when it was almost forming an anti-aircraft cannon, it suppressed the parabolic arc of the tennis ball and skillfully pushed the tennis ball back to the baseline position on Gawain's side.
After waiting for the tennis ball to fly out, Djokovic leaped into the air with his whole body, completed a turn in the air, and looked back at the moon as he looked at the arc of the tennis ball rising at high speed.
Whizzing.
Whizzing.
The tennis ball flies very fast, and it can be seen from here that the backhand shot by Gawain just now was full of power, so powerful that Djokovic was almost unable to wrap it up——
But Djokovic still wrapped up.
Then, the tennis ball surprisingly landed on the baseline.
Huh!
The whole audience exclaimed again! I couldn’t believe my eyes!
When Gawain played against Kei Nishikori in the previous game, Kei Nishikori felt hot, so he was able to return such a magic ball. In fact, there was a certain amount of luck.
But this time when facing Djokovic, his control was so powerful and perverted that he had the ability to regularly replicate such returns.
What about Gawain?
Little steps, little steps, little steps.
Gawain still stayed on his backhand position, adjusting his position in small steps continuously, raising his head and watching the flight path of the tennis ball——
If it is straight up and down, then the baseline high pressure is the most suitable; if it is a arc parabola, then the bottom line pumping is the correct way.
is a parabola.
Gawain glanced at Djokovic out of the corner of his sight. The world number one still stayed on the backhand position and did not move. But the moment Gawain looked away, Djokovic began to quickly move towards the forehand position. Moved laterally——
As expected, he is a defensive master. His movements always involve fake moves. Even among the Big Four, it is difficult to make a correct judgment between true and false.
But Gao Wen was not affected at all and had already completed the lead shot with his two-handed backhand.
Stand firm! Kick the ground! Turn around! Push!
The whole swing was very firm and decisive. It can be clearly seen that Gao Wen took a small step forward at the last moment, kicked off the ground with his left leg, and then the racket was pushed out in the next second.
Swing the racket! Hit the ball! Close the shoot!
The forearm quickly closes the shot to complete the closing action. When Djokovic's return does not have much power, he chooses to take the initiative to exert force himself and release the power of the backhand action in time.
boom!
The diagonal line becomes a straight line!
The backhand straight line appeared at a critical moment in the first game, and you can also see Gao Wen's enthusiasm for grabbing the ball and always leading the offense.
Whoosh!
The tennis ball instantly turned into a bolt of lightning and rushed out along the sideline.
You can see in the next second that after finishing the attack, Gao Wen rushed forward to the net to prepare for pressure; while Djokovic stopped after running two steps laterally. It seems that the defense forehand is still Smoke bomb, attention is still on the backhand, he thinks Gawain should choose the slash——
But Gawain apparently didn't.
Therefore, there is no need for Gao Wen to make up another shot in front of the net, the victory or defeat has been decided by this point.
"Game, high!"
Start the game and break serve first!
