A battle of wits and courage.
Not giving an inch.
Here, Gao Wen returned the tennis ball to Djokovic's middle area twice in a row, and used strong topspin to increase the opponent's offensive risk.
Continue the tactics from the second set.
On the other side, Djokovic gave up the tactics of the second set and no longer rolled up the ball. Instead, he attacked forcefully and struck directly with both forehand and backhand.
break the ice.
Perhaps offense is not Djokovic's strength, but it is definitely not a shortcoming.
Switching from forehand to backhand, it can be seen at this time that Djokovic's backhand attack is obviously better, and the speed and rhythm have improved.
Moreover, unlike the habitual curling of the forehand, the backhand shot is flatter and more fierce. The incoming ball is like an arrow, aiming at the bottom line and hitting the big triangle.
boom!
In the previous shot, Gawain had just recovered his disadvantage, and the two sides returned to an evenly matched state.
On the next beat, Djokovic's surprise broke the balance again.
Gawain, running at full speed.
Although he did not expect Djokovic to attack with three consecutive shots, Gao Wen accurately anticipated Djokovic's backhand diagonal hitting line.
Stride, sprint.
Small steps, adjustments.
Kick off your left foot, emergency brake, all the inertial force of sprinting is concentrated under the left leg, the calf muscles explode instantly, and the reaction force from the ground hits you in layers, but it is accompanied by the spiral of kicking and turning. Ascending, all the energy is concentrated on the two-handed backhand.
Swing the racket!
Take action!
"ah!"
"Ahhh!"
The body has been extended to the extreme, but time and space are still passive, so that Gawain has no way to change the line, and passively returns to a slash.
Fortunately in the misfortune, the power exploded in full force. This was a very solid and very violent backhand attack——
Not defensively.
To be precise, it should be offense within defense.
The body was thrown out in an instant, and he struck hard.
Tennis, back to Djokovic's backhand.
Like Djokovic, Gao Wen also risked his life with this shot. He threw his center of gravity along the centrifugal force and gave up the passive defensive shot. Instead, he used a two-handed backhand to force an attack, trying to fight head-on. way to reverse the situation.
So, what's the cost?
The cost was that Gawain's body weight was thrown towards his left side, his steps had already reached beyond the singles line, and the entire right side of the court was cleared.
Empty it completely!
There is no doubt that this is the risk that must be taken in taking risky shots.
Gawain's brain was very calm and clear. He knew what he was doing. After finishing the ball, he quickly completed the cross step with his left leg and then his right leg. He controlled his body. The reaction force from the ground surged forward like a stormy sea. He devoured, his knees taking the pounding.
Creak. Creak.
It seems that the sound of joints exploding can be clearly heard.
But when I concentrated on it, I deeply felt the burning sensation permeating my muscles and blood vessels. After a pause, my body began to move lightly.
Because Gawain is sure and certain that Djokovic will definitely not be soft on the match point, which also means that his strong attack must be prepared for the next shot.
Immediately afterwards, Gawain noticed the figure on the opposite side of the court——
Djokovic, turned sideways again.
It can be seen from here that at the match point, Djokovic firmly took the initiative, his desire to attack reached a new extreme, and the entire game was very strong.
For Gao Wen, this kind of Djokovic is abnormal. Even though it is the sixth time they have met, this version of Djokovic has not appeared many times, and the entire rhythm, intensity and speed have completely changed.
This also proves that Gawain finally forced Djokovic's Super Saiyan form out, and even Djokovic himself didn't even realize it.
However, after turning sideways, how will Djokovic hit the ball?
etc!
Oops!
Damn it!
Damn it!
Gao Wen's footsteps jumped twice on the spot, re-adjusting his center of gravity and regaining his defensive rhythm, when he saw Djokovic's forehand——
Lift it high and put it down gently.
what does that mean?
Djokovic's unique skill is to press the bottom of the box and cut the ball with his forehand.
Generally speaking, players have stronger forehands than backhands. Their forehands can pump, block, cut, and push. They have various handling techniques. When they have the upper hand, they can further establish their advantage through forehand hitting.
It is conceivable that players' forehands can take advantage of greater advantages, so they often do not choose to cut and release the ball with their forehands. Naturally, this technique lacks polishing and practice and appears rusty.
but.
Djokovic is different. Under Becker's guidance, he gradually honed this technique.
First, cut in a straight line with your forehand to extend your opponent's running distance.
Secondly, the forehand cut and release of the ball was very sudden and unexpected.
Finally, the forehand control is exquisite, from the line to the landing point to the rotation, which is very, very good.
After the comprehensive effect, cutting the ball with the forehand can often achieve amazing results. This is also known as a unique skill of Djokovic that no other players have practiced.
Of course, for this technology to reach the level of "stunt", it will take at least until 2018 and 2019, after countless rounds of polishing and tempering, and finally take shape; at the moment in 2015, Djokovic Still just tempered, I have some skills, but the power is still not enough.
It seems that at this moment, it plays more of a "surprise" role to break the balance of the confrontation.
Djokovic caught Gawain off guard and chose to drop the ball with his forehand, which indeed made Gawain curse.
No. 1 in the world, indeed No. 1 in the world.
At the match point, he first attacked aggressively and then took risks with small balls. The entire tactical combination and batting choices broke Gawain's predictions time and time again. Even if his feet were already standing on the edge of the cliff, a slight shake of his hands might lead to his death. His whole match, but Djokovic remained determined.
Not only sudden and bold, but also meticulous and clever, showing his abilities in all aspects without reservation.
Worthy of being a giant.
But Djokovic also knows Gao Wen’s mobility, and ordinary small balls should be able to catch up, which also requires him to improve the quality of the small balls as much as possible——
The smaller the better, that is, the closer it is to the network, the better.
A perfect small ball, that is, it crosses the net and enters the opponent's half, and then completely releases its force. There is as little force attached to the tennis ball as possible, and there is almost no height after it bounces off the ground.
As a result, no matter how fast the opponent's feet are, they can only watch the ball and sigh.
At this time, Djokovic's attention was all on controlling the line, so that the control of the racket surface was slightly imprecise, and the unloading force was not completely discharged.
This also means a glimmer of hope.
Gawain still has a chance.
One kick.
One step.
First the left leg, then the right leg, then the left leg, then the right leg.
The strength of the calf muscles exploded completely, and he could even feel the secretion of lactic acid. The forty-four beat duel also had an impact on him.
Especially at this time, when changing speed and increasing speed, taking a step from the bottom line, then starting a second time, moving vertically, all the muscles in the body begin to burn.
His knees were trembling slightly, and it seemed that if he hesitated or hesitated a little, he might not be able to push on the ground.
