It's a lot of fun playing against Federer.
On a technical level, in fact, the Swiss King has dominated the tennis world for more than ten years, and there is no secret for a long time. Gao Wen dares to say that every player and ordinary lover who likes tennis has at least once imagined that he is Federer or Nadal, standing on the court. Above, sweating and running wildly.
For example, a strong serve.
When people mention the best servers in history, Karlovich and Isner are the two names that appear most frequently, but in the eyes of professionals, Federer is the well-deserved true master.
Perhaps, purely in terms of aces, Federer can "only" be among the top five in the historical list, and it is difficult to occupy the first place; but Federer's real strength lies in two points:
First, use the serve to resolve the crisis at critical moments. In other words, when an ace is urgently needed, you can serve an ace, or serve to score directly.
Secondly, based on the serve, establish a complete set of tactics for your own serve, make an overall layout, and control the game.
For example, the backhand shortcoming.
It has always been recognized by all professionals that if there is one shortcoming in Federer's comprehensive skills, it is his backhand.
But real professional players know that this is only relative, because Nadal broke through from Federer's backhand and overturned Federer's dynasty at its peak, so people seemed to take it for granted that Federer's backhand was weak, but they forgot - —
The so-called "backhand shortcoming" is because Federer's backhand is opposite Nadal's forehand.
How many people's backhands can remain rock solid despite Nadal's continuous attacks from the forehands?
In fact, Federer's backhand is versatile, agile, sharp, and rich in tactical routines. It is precisely because of Federer's emergence that the one-handed backhand has returned to the public eye. Even countless young players hope to change from double backhand to double backhand. SLR.
Perhaps, compared with Wawrinka's single-handed backhand, Federer's backhand is not as violent or crisp, but it has the grace and elegance of a swordsman. He can still hit different styles and types of winning points on the backhand position.
Have it at your fingertips.
Take a leisurely stroll.
It is truly a feast for the eyes.
For example, the forehand is excellent.
For example, comprehensive before the Internet.
For example, focus on offense.
For example, flexible steps.
Etc., etc.
On paper, every tennis fan can talk about it, but when you actually play against Federer, you can realize:
Technology has never been the focus; the brain is.
What truly amazes the tennis world is Federer’s chic and elegant style, which is also his stunning inspiration——
In Federer's matches, you can often see some unexpected, incredible, and inspired shot choices that push the sport to another level.
Although it cannot be described as unbridled and unconstrained, there is no doubt that Federer's inspiration and creativity have brought his innate touch to the extreme, and he has always been able to hit stunning returns. For the matter of "beauty", interpret differently.
When the new generation fully emerged, Nadal's fighting, Djokovic's tenacity, and Murray's calculations broke through Federer's mercury-laden offense, and defeated him time and time again, thus creating a new era of the Big Four, but Federer's game Still has a unique charm.
This is why Gao Wen has been looking forward to playing against Federer:
Some things cannot be calculated, practiced, or set. Everything is random, sudden, and changing, and then evolves into infinite possibilities.
Just like this time.
Second District.
Outside corner!
With a speed of 199 kilometers per hour and accurate pressure on the line, Gao Wen made a beautiful shot. At the critical moment, he concentrated and improved his condition to the extreme.
On the opposite side of the court, Federer was a little embarrassed. He had no time to adjust his steps. He just took a long step laterally and intercepted with a one-handed backhand——
There is not even room to swing, just the simplest and roughest interception of a shot, no whipping or cutting, which is comparable to the blocking action of volleyball.
However, the moment he touched the ball, Federer gently rubbed his wrist, completing the touch with a delicate and soft touch, and then, magic was born.
Whoosh!
The tennis ball drew a small parabola along a straight line and crossed the net lightly——
small ball.
Gawain was shocked!
Federer is worthy of being Federer, he dares to drop the ball directly when receiving the serve:
Because the small ball technology requires unloading force, if the power impact is too strong, the quality of the small ball cannot keep up, and the parabola and flight path cannot be controlled. The serve is the most powerful and full of power among all technical links. .
To put it simply, if someone chooses to drop a small ball when receiving a serve, the coach on the sidelines is likely to suffer a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot.
However, Federer dared.
Moreover, what is really shocking is that the quality of the ball is actually pretty good.
It has to be said that even though Gawain has been mentally prepared, there is no way to prepare for such a situation——
Kick the ground.
Run wildly.
sprint.
Gawain, who had not yet had time to fully return the serve, rushed out like an arrow from the string.
Powerful!
His eyes were focused on the tennis ball, and he was observing Federer's position from the corner of his eyes. However, Federer's footsteps kept shaking, which also meant that he was distracting Gawain and trying to contain Gawain's with his own movements. Concentration forced Gao Wen to reduce the quality of his return.
So, what does Gawain do?
Forehand, raised high, making a strong offensive action of swinging the racket. This time, it was Federer's turn to judge. How would Gawain handle it?
Bottom line deep zone? A ball in front of the net?
straight line? Slash?
In the blink of an eye, both players are calculating. For other players, they may hit the ball based on intuition, but the real top players can feel the tension of strong confrontation surging in the air at the slightest moment.
Then--
One kick!
One punch!
Gawain followed the inertia of his forward motion and without any hesitation with his forehand, he rushed forward and his power burst out instantly.
but! Not sweeping diagonally, but advancing straight lines.
Use repeated return shots to suppress Federer's backhand.
Perhaps Federer's backhand is not as weak as everyone thinks, but the objective fact is that compared to the forehand, the backhand is indeed a breakthrough.
boom!
The forward speed and inertia are all superimposed on the swing, so that Gawain's hitting needs to be controlled, otherwise it may directly go out of bounds.
The tennis ball, like a bullet, penetrated the entire straight line of the court and headed toward Federer's backhand.
Federer, the crisis was still not over. After receiving the serve, his backhand suffered continuous hammer blows.
Fortunately, Federer's footsteps were not disturbed, which also meant that Federer's fake moves did not interfere with Gawain, and Gawain's fake moves also did not interfere with Federer. In terms of calculation and layout, the two players ended up winning. It was a tie, but in the end Federer got there in time.
On the backhand, there was almost no room to swing the racket, as Gauvin's incoming ball was pressed very deep, and Federer was forced to complete the shot at his feet.
Then--
Tear!
A one-handed backhand, a sweep, the whole chest is completely stretched, the power is completely released, the wrist is twisted, tearing out a light parabola.
As graceful as a startled dragon!
Extremely passive, but still shocking everyone with his skills.
