Tap tap tap!
The footsteps are running wildly.
Although he was embarrassed, he was not panicked. After experiencing the baptism of Melbourne Park, his ability to deal with crises and emergencies has improved to a higher level. "You always need to prepare one more shot."
Running back and forth from left to right, then right to left, was not a problem for Gawain. His light footsteps almost blended into the strong wind.
Sprint!
Sprint!
Sprint again!
Then, arrived.
His left leg came to an emergency stop, and all the muscles in his body were instantly tense to the extreme. He completed the backhand with both hands in the lead-in action early, and completed the swing without his body.
One push, one push.
Swinging the racket in a small range completes the rapid winding, the tight muscles completely release the power, the solid hitting explodes instantly, and the counterattack in the passive defense.
boom!
slash.
deep zone.
Flat hit.
A gust of wind swept through the clouds, and the tennis ball rushed towards Coric's backhand like a falling meteor. The blazing flames dragged out a dazzling tail, rolling up large waves of air, and the air boiled with it.
Land!
Heavy hammer!
Roaring and rolling.
With one shot, just one shot, the advantage Coric had not had time to establish was dismantled, instead pushing Coric into an awkward position.
Coric immediately realized that his two-handed backhand diagonal return might not be of high quality, and it would become an opportunity for Gawain to continue attacking.
What should he do if he wants to break the deadlock?
brake! Stop! Block!
Everything happened very fast and at high speed. When Coric's shot came off the racket, the audience screamed in surprise.
small ball!
Coric, who continued to fight at the bottom line, couldn't bear it first and chose to cut the ball to break the deadlock.
Then, both players mobilized.
Gawain was sprinting forward.
Coric also entered the baseline.
The situation changes suddenly!
The stable and strong tug-of-war in the bottom round suddenly changed, and the entire rhythm and atmosphere became turbulent.
Tap tap tap!
Gao Wen was sprinting in full force. Coric cut a diagonal ball, and the landing point was still on his backhand, so footwork was not a problem——
The key still lies in your choice of return route.
With a glance from the corner of his eyes, Gawain was observing Coric's position.
At this time, you can see Coric's youth and greenness. Although choosing small balls is a good tactic to break the deadlock, Coric obviously did not think clearly about the subsequent layout, so he hesitated.
Although he entered the bottom line, his footsteps did not follow up immediately and he beat the horse to the net.
If it is Djokovic or Nadal, they have already stood in front of the net to form a confrontation, but Coric's awareness in front of the net is still in its infancy. Unless Gao Wen mobilizes Coric to the net, Coric will be The concept of net fighting is still very vague.
So, what should Gawain do?
Backhand with both hands, holding it all the way, it looks like you are preparing to play back the ball. The key is, straight or diagonal?
Coric also noticed the way Gao Wen held the racket. He slowed down by half a beat, finally started his steps, and rushed towards the net quickly.
Then, Gawain's steps were already in place——
Although the quality of Coric's ball is good, the landing point and route are controlled, and the offloading effect is also good, Gao Wen is always vigilant and always prepared for one more shot, so the steps are started and put in place in a very timely manner.
Not only did he grab the position, but he also had enough time to observe, judge, and choose, and then take action!
The braking time is deliberately slowed down a little, and the push is completed with the help of the inertia and power of the forward thrust. The two-hand backhand changes the grip method at the last moment.
One split.
Long term!
Instead of cutting and replaying the small ball, he chops and cuts the long ball, which means aiming for the deep zone!
Coric, who was taking a step forward, was shocked!
Oops!
The steps that hurried forward paused, and the backhand of both hands subconsciously blocked the landing point of the ball. Everything was a conditioned reflex and an instinctive reaction.
Stopped!
Almost right next to his forward steps, Coric's racket could already feel the impact of the tennis ball, but his body had been extended to the extreme, and there was no room for adjustment and control. He intercepted the ball very roughly and clumsily. shoot.
Snapped.
The tennis ball bounced straight back to the ground.
Well done!
Regardless, he finished the shot!
This point is not over yet!
Coric's excitement and excitement didn't have time to explode. His eyes flew back following the tennis ball. He first saw Gawain flying horizontally to volley, and then he saw the dull impact of the tennis ball on the net.
White net waves, rolling waves.
Coric's return shot went directly into the net. There was no need for Gawain to make another shot, and the point was over.
Buzz.
Coric's ears roared, and a breath of hot breath stuck in his chest. He stood there dumbfounded, unable to make any reaction.
boom!
The entire audience stood up and applauded, cheered, applauded and screamed, cheered and whistled. At this moment, we can really feel Gawain's excellence.
It was clear that Coric's changes were ahead of him, twice before and after, but Gao Wen still seized the opportunity to reverse the situation and break serve again.
"4:1".
Gao Wen continued to expand his lead. After Coric's "love-game" in the opening game to save the first serve, Gao Wen had won four consecutive games.
Unstoppable!
And, more importantly -
So far in this game, Coric has not got any break points; while Gao Wen has an advantage with a 100% break success rate.
As long as Gao Wen gets the break point, Coric can't keep the serve, and his performance in key points makes the difference clear.
Whoosh.
Whoosh.
Coric was breathing heavily, his eyes were blank, and the focus of his pupils slowly spread, and his mind was filled with questions that were about to explode:
what happened?
Coric didn't understand, and he didn't understand. He had already played to the extreme, and all the presses in his arsenal had been displayed, but how could Gawain calmly resolve the crisis and then take advantage of the situation to score?
Coric did not show mercy when it came to key points, and even made bold attempts. However, all his attempts seemed to hit a wall and did not yield any results. Instead, he lost the score in a desperate manner, making his useless efforts look particularly stupid.
Everything happened too fast for Coric to understand.
Looking up, Coric could see Gawain retreating at a glance. There was no fist clenching, no cheering, no celebration, just a smile on his face.
Sweating profusely, cheeks flushed, youthful arrogance and vitality are blooming proudly.
The corners of his mouth raised lightly, that smile was so bright and so simple, a joy overflowed from the inside out, like the aroma of lemon mixed with mint, lingering under the nose, the heat and scorching heat of the desert also melted and disintegrated, it seemed. Even the air became sweeter.
It was a kind of pure enjoyment. It could be seen that Gawain was really enjoying this game, as if...
Coric was not sure whether it was his own illusion or whether the impact of the huge difference in score was too strong, but Gawain in front of him seemed to be playing with a cat and a mouse.
Coric:? ? ? Are you so polite?
