Tennis matches have always needed to be kept quiet and try to avoid disturbing players' shots. Even the entrance and exit of spectators should be arranged during the breaks between games and sets as much as possible. The etiquette of turning off flash lights and muting mobile phones is also the etiquette for spectators. Sai basic.
However, at this moment, the Rod Laver Arena is always filled with rustling and chaotic sounds, like a garbage dump cleaning scene:
The miscellaneous sounds intertwined and collided, obviously not that loud, but extremely annoying, torturing the eardrums.
Obviously, this is not an ideal playing field.
Occasionally, we will encounter such situations in low-level hope matches and challenge matches, and the quality of the audience varies, but on the final stage of a Grand Slam, this is...
An unprecedented first time.
However, Gao Wen was unmoved and highly focused. Even after the rhythm of the game was interrupted for more than seven minutes, he was still able to focus on the game.
One shot, in.
Close pressure backhand.
The quality of the serve with a speed of 195 kilometers per hour is very good.
On the contrary, Djokovic seemed to be disturbed by the noise. He had not encountered a playing environment with noise while hitting the ball for a long, long time.
As a result, his footwork reaction speed was a little bit late, and he missed the attacking point. However, Djokovic had a strong foundation, and with a backhand shot, he still steadily pushed the tennis ball deep into the baseline, and even Control the line on Gawain's backhand position and continue to suppress it.
Gawain glanced at Djokovic's position out of the corner of his eye——
At this time, both players are stationed in the middle of the field. The flying speed of the tennis ball is not fast, and the offensive opportunities are not good; moreover, they have a deep understanding of each other's mobility and defensive abilities, which further confirms that it is not an attack now. the best time.
then.
Gao Wen's backhand also completed a regular shot, focusing on controlling the landing point, pressing deep in the middle, trying to squeeze Djokovic's swing space.
"Control the landing point vs. control the landing point."
Gao Wen and Djokovic, back and forth, both controlled the situation by controlling the placement.
Both players did not use force rashly, but mobilized their opponents through the distribution of placement points to form a stalemate.
It can be seen from this small detail that Gao Wen still lacks experience. Although his attention is not distracted, his shot selection is still slightly conservative.
After just experiencing seven minutes of chaos, Gao Wen was also worried that he was too impatient and too eager, and he would easily make mistakes when hitting the ball, especially when the noise on the scene had not completely disappeared, and the air pressure, heat wave and environment of the entire stadium were all over the place. With continuous changes, it is easy to get hot-headed if you are not careful.
So Gawain consciously slowed down the pace and focused on control.
In this way, just what Djokovic had in mind, both players showed their ability to control the line and placement.
Djokovic has been trying to suppress Gawain's forehand——
Obviously, this is not the goal. The ultimate goal is to create opportunities after suppressing the forehand, attack the backhand, and finally find the winning opportunity on the backhand position.
Gao Wen was calm in the face of danger, and he kept adjusting his forehand return route, deliberately disrupting his route layout, sometimes in the middle, sometimes in a straight line, and sometimes diagonally, mobilizing Djokovic. He knew that Djokovic Vicky is not afraid of such changes and can deal with them easily, but the essential purpose is to hide his batting layout.
Games and calculations.
Both players are creating pressure through control.
Sudden!
Djokovic's forehand speeded up, but he didn't step forward. He just grabbed a quarter of a beat in the hitting rhythm, and slightly grabbed a rising point to complete the shot.
Middle!
Pressing almost at the midpoint of the baseline, he further suppressed Gao Wen's return ball with fast-paced hitting from deep.
Very light and very clever shot selection. On the surface, there is no murderous intention at all, but the changes in offensive rhythm and technique are disrupting the situation.
Obviously, Djokovic is also trying to undermine Gawain's tactical intentions.
Gawain was indeed squeezed.
However, instead of retreating, he made a squatting movement, relying on the strength of his body to offset the impact of the squeeze, and swung the racket quickly and in small increments with his forehand away from his body.
One turn!
A flick!
With the help of the force of the ball, the connection was completed quickly, and the tennis ball flew out immediately.
Slash!
Dead end!
He.
You can clearly hear the exclamations surging in the stadium because——
The line is over.
Gao Wen's skateboard hit hit the outside of the sideline. To the naked eye, it looked like it was out of bounds. He relied on strong topspin to recover it when it fell.
"Inbounds!"
The linesman made an inbounds gesture with a very firm expression and attitude.
Djokovic didn't stop hitting the ball. He stretched his wings like a roc and made a forehand shot——
Diagonal lines, large diagonals.
Djokovic did not be conservative, and directly struck hard, further tearing the angle, and the return ball landed near the bottom line of the service area, which was also the pressure line.
Huh!
Exclaiming again and again, the two players hit the ball back and forth, both pressing the line, like the tip of a knife dancing wildly.
Moreover, I can't feel the power, which can be seen from the sound and flight speed of the ball. The ball is not heavy, but the whole rhythm is completely increased, just like a tango. Each move seems to be an understatement, but it is It contained a lot of murderous intent, and the air became completely tense.
Gao Wen defended a shot with a forehand pass and used strong topspin to gain time.
Djokovic did not immediately attack aggressively. Instead, he used a tap to deliberately slow down the rhythm and continue to disrupt Gawain's rhythm.
As a result, Gawain didn't care at all. He stepped directly into the baseline with one step forward. He hit the ball diagonally with a sweeping forehand, aiming at Djokovic's right sideline with full force, and his edge was revealed in an instant.
ah!
exclaimed, blurting out again.
Press the line!
Press the line again!
However, the baseline linesman's inbound gesture was still very firm.
Djokovic was very passive and relied on a forehand shot. The tennis ball drew a full arc and incredibly returned the tennis ball to the baseline again.
Press the line!
For the fourth time in a row!
The entire Rod Laver Arena has gone crazy. Everyone can't help but hold their breath, and their hearts are almost bursting. They watch the two players showing their unparalleled hitting touch, aiming to hit the ball every time, back and forth. Hui's confrontation was like standing unsteadily under a high-altitude rope.
Any slight deviation may be out of bounds.
Gao Wen was squeezed again, but this time, Gao Wen did not continue to control. He glanced at Djokovic on the other side of the court. He shot the forehand very gracefully, relying on the strength of his wrist to move the shot. The head speed is increased by one level.
Whoosh!
The racket turned into a ray of light and shadow, and the long sword was unsheathed——
straight line!
Gao Wen took the lead to attack. In the confrontation of continuous control of landing points, he suddenly increased his speed and rhythm and took the initiative to attack with his forehand.
Djokovic moved very fast, and seemed to have anticipated Gawain's powerful attack, accurately predicting the move in advance——
Although the last shot on the forehand position was a little awkward, Djokovic once again showed what he is good at, moving at full speed.
Then, slide and extend, and the flexibility of the body is fully demonstrated.
With the body having lost its center of gravity, he firmly completed the shot with a backhand with both hands, and once again showed off his unique skills:
A pocketful.
The tennis ball drew a thrilling arc across the entire court. "Tit for tooth", Djokovic also increased his speed and power.
In an instant, the pace and intensity of the entire game escalated without warning, and the air at Rod Laver Arena was ablaze.
