Facing the King of Switzerland again, how could Gawain not make any progress?
He knows Federer's ability and his talent. Therefore, when planning and calculating, he must take the elusive deviation value into consideration.
The reaction speed needs to be a little faster, a little faster.
This also means that concentration must be intense.
This point is a crucial point, and Gawain is fully focused on it.
Although he was passive throughout the whole process, Gao Wen was still fighting. He touched the ball one second and adjusted his center of gravity the next.
Quick dash.
Federer's ball was light and shallow, which really didn't leave much space for Gawain to hit the ball.
Moreover, Federer immediately adjusted his focus and continued to block the return line in front of the net. He was like a giant standing tall, and he immediately moved forward.
In front of the net, there is no doubt about Federer's confidence. The calmness and determination exuding from the inside out are overwhelming and it is indeed different.
One man is in charge, no one can open it!
Gawain's life hangs by a thread.
However, Gawain was not afraid. To be precise, everything happened too fast. He was completely immersed in the game and had no time to be afraid.
Gawain's attention is always focused on the tennis ball. How to hit the ball? How to return the ball? How to break out?
Stumbling.
Shaky.
I have to admit that Federer's ball control was very, very good. Even if Gawain was ready to move in advance, it was still a little too late.
The steps were bumpy from running at full speed, but they were still lacking a little bit.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Federer's position. Then, a crazy idea came to his mind, but before he could think about it carefully, he shot backhand with both hands.
Gently, teasingly.
The bumpy and swaying steps made him unable to stand steadily and could not absorb the support force from the ground. Therefore, Gawain simply gave up exerting force and relied entirely on his wrist and forearm to complete the ball.
The racquet head, following the upward movement of the forearm, swings upward quickly, and after the swing is completed, it continues along, flicking it quickly like a barb.
Whoosh!
Tennis has jumped out directly.
Fast and urgent.
Lob the ball!
Gawain actually chose to lob!
incredible!
Federer was also a little surprised. At the moment Gao Wen hit the ball, his body had already moved laterally to his left side, preparing to cover the diagonal gap.
Obviously, due to the hitting action of the previous shot, the return action was slightly behind, so immediately after, the gap in the backhand position was very obvious. This is the best route for Gao Wen to break the net.
Federer also realized this. This gap was not easy to defend. Therefore, he immediately adjusted his focus and locked his eyes firmly on Gawain. However, his steps had already moved casually and he subconsciously rushed out.
But!
Lobby?
is this real?
From a physical perspective, Federer is 185 centimeters tall, and both Gao Wen and Federer are in front of the net. Judging from the incident angle of the shot and the trend of the parabolic arc, if Gao Wen wants to successfully break through Federer's high-altitude blockade, then at least A three-meter-high parabola needs to be pulled out.
Moreover, as long as the height is not enough, otherwise it will go straight up and down and still fall in the front half of Federer's court, Federer can still complete the landing of high-pressure balls.
This also means that depth control is very tricky. It can't be too shallow, and it can't be too deep - otherwise it will go straight out of bounds.
If you think about it from a normal perspective, in such a difficult situation, lobbing is definitely not a wise choice.
but!
Exactly!
Gawain chose a lob, completely breaking expectations.
Huh!
The whole audience exclaimed, and all eyes followed the tennis ball raised high. As soon as they raised their heads, golden sunlight hit their faces, and they couldn't help but close their eyes.
Federer is no exception.
One second he realized he had made a mistake in judgment, and the next second he quickly retreated and looked up for the ball.
However, the sun was too dazzling.
Retreating, continuously retreating, Federer's steps quickly retreated in a chaotic and orderly manner, squinting his eyes to find the flight position of the lofted ball.
Huh.
There were bursts of demonic wind, and the demonic wind just now still did not leave, and even picked up some sand and dust.
Federer's steps were a bit confusing, mainly due to misjudgment and a swing in his center of gravity, which led to some untimely adjustments to his retreat.
Then, tennis came along.
finally!
Federer, who was in a retreating state, immediately stepped back and took off with a kick, using a basketball backward shooting posture, trying to complete the high pressure.
The light and elegant high-pressure action made the audience hold their breath. Just as Federer was about to complete the shot, the audience burst into exclamation.
"ah!"
Empty.
Federer's high-pressure ball actually missed!
Over the top!
Gawain's lob shot was incredibly over the top!
Amazing!
incredible!
However, before the audience could fully express their exclamations, the exhalation movement was only halfway through when it was cut off again.
Because Federer's second reaction was very quick, the ball was not over yet.
Although Gao Wen's lofted ball successfully went over the top, depth control was still very difficult. The landing point was near the bottom line of the service area and he was unable to push it deeper.
After Federer swung the ball in the air, he immediately realized that the landing point of the tennis ball was behind him. He landed lightly, and then started twice, turning 360 degrees on the spot, spinning while looking for the landing point of the tennis ball.
In the midst of the spinning turmoil, Federer keenly caught the tennis ball bouncing high after landing. Following the inertia of the circle, he swung his forehand and gently moved towards the tennis ball.
Hit!
Take action!
Slash, diagonal, break the net!
From the air swing to the second start to hitting the ball, the entire movement is done in one go, free and elegant, and the flowing posture is so perfect that it takes your breath away.
The tennis ball flew back again.
Then, a figure appeared.
It's Gawain!
With a gesture of leaping to the top, Gawain flew up, breaking away from the constraints of gravity, soaring along a diagonal line like a torpedo.
Huh.
The demonic wind was still dancing, and the audience's exclamations surged deep in their throats, but they couldn't help but hold their breath, and their hearts also rose high.
Sprint, soar, intercept!
A standard volleyball block, Gao Wen is in the air, completely seizes the ball with the racket, straightens his arm, and presses the ball straight down.
Snapped. This is the sound of ball contact.
boom. This is the sound of a ball being struck.
A crisp, clean, wall-pounding impact, it was over in the blink of an eye.
The tennis ball rushed towards Federer's backhand gap, landed in the court, and then disappeared.
boom.
Gawain felt the restraint of gravity again, pulled his body down, and subconsciously threw the racket out. He rolled sideways along with the impact, removed all the impact, rotated, then raised his head and looked at On the other side of the net, look for the landing point of the tennis ball, and look for Federer's position——
Scored?
"30...40."
In my ears, I heard the referee's voice announcing the score. There was a slight pause in the middle, and it seemed that I could deeply feel the referee's shock and astonishment.
The winning point belongs to Gawain.
The break point is here!
Then--
boom!
The center court could finally breathe. In an instant, there was a roar in the brain, cheers and screams were released, and the whole audience stood up.
A mighty sound swept the entire place.
Wonderful!
Extremely exciting!
