Zhizhi!
The sound of the soles of the shoes rubbing against the ground was like chalk scratching across a blackboard, sharp and harsh. Sparks appeared on the ground and continued to explode.
However, it can be seen that Berdych's excellent mobility and explosive ability have given full play to his advantages of height and long legs. When facing match points, he releases all his energy and even taps into his body's ultimate potential, making sudden stops and turns. His body turned into an afterimage, and in just a few strides, he had already crossed half the court.
Whoops!
Whoops!
The strong wind is hunting and the sun is boiling.
In the rush of lightning, Berdych was already in place——
Got it!
In fact, the quality of Gao Wen's ball is average, the power is not completely released, the arc control is also slightly longer, and the final landing point is almost close to the bottom line of the service area.
From the bottom line to the landing point, Berdych was as fast as lightning, and he was already there in a few big strides.
Chance!
An opportunity to turn defense into offense!
Because Gao Wen's return was not able to completely remove the force, the rebound height after landing was sufficient, which also meant that Berdych's hitting point could be kept above the net.
One kick!
One step!
Berdych's forward momentum was very strong. He kicked off his right leg, made an emergency brake to control his body, and already set up the racket with his forehand.
His mentality was a little anxious, but at the same time, Berdych still maintained his usual composure and did not break his balance because of his eagerness.
Pick and cut.
The forehand was very light and very delicate, and for the fourth time in a row, it was pushed towards the dead center of Gao Wen's forehand baseline.
Long term, keep suppressing!
Generally speaking, there are two ways to deal with small balls: short-term and long-term:
The "small ball vs. small ball" battle in front of the net is the short-term; the "small ball vs. baseline" deep zone control is the long-term.
Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it mainly depends on the positions of both sides during the game. Although the short-term strategy is more often used, the long-term strategy can often produce unexpected effects.
When dealing with small balls, the most taboo thing is that the ball is neither long nor short. The return ball falls in the half court or midfield. This means giving the opponent a chance to fight back and putting yourself in an unfavorable predicament.
At this time, Berdych chose the long term to prepare to break Gawain's routine.
He thought that after Gao Wen released the ball, he would choose to step into the court, so he cut a long line and broke through Gao Wen's blockade. The tennis ball would land behind Gao Wen, making it impossible to complete the swing smoothly.
This is also true.
Gawain is indeed stepping up, ready to catch up in time and handle the follow-up at the net, but Berdych's hitting action is not hidden-
This is also a shortcoming of Berdych. All his hitting movements are as standard as textbooks and too regular, so he cannot lie.
At the same time, Berdych's hitting routine is relatively stable, and changes exist objectively, but overall it is still lacking.
Gao Wen immediately realized that Berdych was about to cut long, and controlled the pace of his rapid forward movement. He started again and stepped back again.
Even so, it was still a little slower. After all, the pace was still slower than the flying speed of a tennis ball.
The tennis ball landed behind Gawain.
But Gawain didn't panic at all. He stepped back and took the shot with his forehand. At the same time, he also observed Berdych's position out of the corner of his eyes.
The body bowed slightly, and the forehand made a motion of fishing for the moon from the sea, fishing behind the body, and then using the strength of the waist and abdomen to push completely.
Wrist, twist and turn slightly.
Immediately afterwards, you can see that the tennis ball flies out lightly, unhurriedly, swaying, but flowing smoothly, drawing a streamline as gracefully as a giant dragon.
Smart and elegant.
Whooshing, the wind, sunshine, and noise all stopped, and everyone turned their heads together as they stared at the mustard yellow light with burning eyes.
Then, his eyes fell on Berdych.
After Berdych finished hitting the ball, he stepped forward, came to the net, got stuck in position, and prepared to volley in front of the next shot.
Subconsciously, Berdych moved slightly toward his backhand position——
Because the entire backhand position is now open, and because Gao Wen concentrated on attacking his backhand today, it is obviously a weak link.
So, habitually, Berdych tried to protect his left side.
However, it was invisible. Berdych could not see Gawain's hitting action at all. The tennis ball landed behind Gawain, so that Gawain's body completely blocked Berdych's sight. He had no way to predict it. Judgment, can only move along the inertia.
As soon as the body's center of gravity started to move, the heels had just left the ground, and then the mustard yellow arc was caught in the corner of the eye and rushed over.
Slash!
Not a straight line! But a slash!
Just as Berdych stared at Gao Wen's forehand gap and continued to bombard him, Gao Wen also chose to break through Berdych's forehand at the critical moment.
Break the routine!
Damn it!
Berdych kicked the ground hard with his left leg, stopped and turned suddenly, started a second time, forcibly changed his center of gravity, and pushed his body to leap to the right with all his strength.
but!
so close! Still a little off!
Gao Wen's forehand hook was very delicate and light. The tennis ball drew a full arc, bypassing Berdych's position like a boomerang, and then fell quickly after crossing the net. The strong rotation was like an angry bird. It usually explodes into a ball of tiny ball hair, floating in the air.
Berdych's whole body had already flown out, but in the end he was still just a little bit close. He watched helplessly as the tennis ball flew out from the far end of his racket head.
Whoosh!
Then, disappear.
If you miss it, you still miss it after all.
Match point, win!
competition is over!
The tennis ball just fell into the bounds. The entire court fell into extreme tranquility and then the seal was released, regaining its vitality.
Then, Yu Jia couldn't control himself anymore. He raised his hands high and stood up, as if there were a bunch of hedgehogs curled up on the seat. He couldn't wait to stand up. He couldn't sit still at all, but couldn't make any sound. , just staring at the court with wide eyes.
champion!
"6:4", "6:4".
At the end of the game, Gao Wen defeated Berdych for the second time in a row and won the singles championship again after reaching the doubles championship.
champion! Double crown!
again! And again and again! Once again, Gawain delivers a surprise!
Everyone is looking forward to and discussing, what will happen in 2015? How will the Big Four perform? Can the challengers go one step further? What will the professional tennis world look like? Will this year usher in a new situation, or will we return to a familiar track?
In the first week of the season, all questions will be answered. To be precise, it will officially kick off!
Now, Gawain handed over his first answer sheet.
The next second, Yu Jia had lost the ability to think, and his mind went blank. A deafening shout came from his ears, leaving only a roar.
Ahhhh!
Ahhhh!
The entire audience went crazy. Like Yu Jia, they knew exactly what this meant, because from the first day when the Doha team came out, people were talking about it, looking forward to it, and surging, and now ——
Gawain, you live up to your expectations!
