Tear!
The two-handed backhand is like a golf shot. The whole body rotates very fully, completely pulling away the angle of the diagonal line, and making full use of the space on the court.
Gawain watched the line and landing point of the shot, and then gently nodded his head to express satisfaction——
This shot is actually modeled after Wawrinka.
The one-handed backhand shot is more flexible, free and sudden, and the use of the court is also more open and full. Look at Wawrinka and Federer's shots, the entire chest is opened, and the release of power is completed instantly. It is not only smooth, but also It's refreshing and has a special sense of beauty.
SLR and double reflex, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Gao Wen is not planning to change from a double-reverse to a single-reverse, but the hitting line and space interpretation of the single-reverse can be used as a reference and create some sparks.
During training, Gawain had tried it; now he needs to apply it in competitions, polish it through actual combat, and add ammunition to the arsenal.
Against Coric, this is a good practice opportunity, and from the current point of view, the effect is indeed good.
Coric, what is his style?
To sum it up in a simple sentence, "Pirated Djokovic".
Wait, Dimitrov is called "Little Federer", but why doesn't anyone call Coric "Little Djokovic"?
Dimitrov and Federer are very similar in everything from physical talents to technical characteristics to tactical styles. The only thing missing may be a little bit of psychology and inspiration.
Therefore, when Dimitrov performs well, he can indeed defeat any player. He is one of the few active players who has won all the games against the Big Four. His highest ranking in his career has reached third place, and he was ranked No. 1 in 2017. The champion of the year-end finals.
"Little Federer" lives up to his name.
There are many differences between Coric and Djokovic. The only similarity is their playing style. Like Djokovic, Coric's game is basically all-attack and all-defense. Playing the ball on the baseline, you can take any ball back and look for opportunities to counterattack.
However, injuries aside, Coric firstly does not have Djokovic’s “hitting machine” hitting feel, secondly does not have Djokovic’s physical toughness, and thirdly, he always has obvious shortcomings in his own strength. In terms of objective existence, physical fitness and technical characteristics, etc., he is smaller than Djokovic in all aspects.
Therefore, at most it is just a "pirated copy", not a "mini version".
The 2018 Magic City Masters is the best proof.
In the semifinals, Coric resisted Federer's smooth attack with a full-attack performance and defeated his opponent in straight sets.
In the final, facing Djokovic, who was one level above him in all aspects, Coric was powerless and lost two consecutive sets and missed the championship.
A very, very interesting fact is that Coric has won two games against Federer, Nadal and Murray, but failed to win all four games against Djokovic.
Later, Coric also contributed a famous saying in tennis,
"When I play well, I'm like Djokovic, and when I'm not playing well, I'm like Murray."
Originally, it was just a joke, but I didn't expect it to be widely circulated and become a meme.
However, what’s really worth pondering about the story is the follow-up.
Murray, who was severely blackmailed, didn't care at all and even joked with Coric. The two practiced together many times.
On the contrary, Djokovic, who was praised, did not like his name to be put together with Coric, and complained to reporters in private about his dissatisfaction.
Later, Coric had to clarify his remarks in front of reporters on different occasions and once again expressed that he did not mean to touch Djokovic.
My eyes returned to this game——
Coric was fully prepared for the game, and Gao Wen also made pre-game investigations and preparations for the game.
Facing "pirated Djokovic", how should we start the game?
Obviously, Coric is not afraid of indiscriminate attacks. He can always dodge airtight attacks. Whether it is Nadal's strong top spin or Federer's variation attack, Coric can do it. Hold on to the tug-of-war in the bottom round, and then find gaps for counterattack.
The most typical one is that in 2018, Coric was at the peak of his condition. He won two consecutive victories against Federer on the grass in Halle and the hard court in Shanghai. One was the final and the other was the semi-final. Victory will reveal Coric's playing style.
Therefore, facing such an opponent, Gawain was not prepared to open the situation with a smooth attack, but was also prepared to fall into a long round of fierce battle with multiple shots -
Of course, Gao Wen had just defeated Djokovic not long ago, and he could have chosen to defeat Coric in the same way he defeated Djokovic.
But Gawain doesn't want to.
It’s not that he looks down on Coric, but Gao Wen understands that the reason why the Big Four are the Big Four is because they continue to learn, improve, and improve.
The tactical routine that was able to defeat Djokovic at Melbourne Park may not continue to work after that; moreover, even if the routine still works, the content of the game must be different, and the entire arrangement and tactical layout need to be changed. Otherwise, the result of the game will be It might be different.
Moreover, Gawain himself needs to continue to improve and avoid standing still and falling into a stable state.
He needs to update his game, he needs to break the existing shackles -
The bottleneck of the system display is right in front of you, isn't it?
Facing Coric, Gao Wen began to make some new attempts.
On the one hand, he bravely breaks the hitting lines and layout routines to destroy Coric's hitting inertia at the baseline.
On the other hand, try different permutations and combinations of shots to disrupt Coric's anticipation of the return.
Moreover, after returning from a short vacation, it will take some time to adjust to the best condition. Gao Wen hopes that the content of this game can be enriched.
Try it and get initial results.
"30:40".
The first break point of the match came on Coric's serve.
Coric was a little annoyed.
He expressed dissatisfaction with the decline in the quality of his return that he was unable to restrain Gao Wen, which ultimately led to errors in prediction.
Looking up, Coric could see Gawain's expression at a glance:
It's like "high school students are studying the observation topic of how caterpillars break out of cocoons into butterflies for a natural science report", revealing the curiosity and concentration of studying academics. There is no excitement and excitement at all, calm as water, and completely "mathematical problem" rationality atmosphere.
This also creates a contrast between the two sides of the tennis court.
Ocean on one side, fire on the other.
So, what is Gawain's expression?
Damn it!
Coric took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and secretly clenched his fists:
"you can do it!"
"you can!"
Then, stand on the baseline and prepare to serve.
Second District.
One shot, sneak attack on the inner corner, reaching a speed of 185 kilometers per hour.
The combination of speed and slowness, and scattered landing points, can indeed see Coric's brain working in the serving process, constantly disrupting the opponent's judgment.
Gao Wen, the prediction is not accurate; moreover, Coric's landing point must also be very beautiful. Although it is not a perfect T-point, it is still a standard inside corner.
Kick the ground! Fly! extend!
Gawain's first conditioned reflex was very fast, and then he used a very rarely used technique:
Forehand, rub gently.
Then, he "clicked" the tennis ball back.
