Stade Philippe-Chartier:…
The faces, with their mouths slightly open, were like bobblehead dolls, moving left and right following the back and forth of the tennis ball, but making no sound.
Compared with hard courts, the changeability and unknown of clay soil are fully demonstrated at this moment. Even if it is the same bottom line tug-of-war, round balls have countless possibilities. Different choices of techniques, methods, and routes will be derived after the collision with clay. More changes, full of surprises every moment.
The Paris audience knows how to appreciate the magic and charm of tennis on clay, so at this time, they were all mesmerized.
Gawain's unexpected return choice directly pushed Tim to the cliff, and then you can see——
Run wildly.
sprint.
Turned into a strong wind.
Tim's figure crossing the field was like a 100-meter sprint. As the dust flew, his figure had already moved all the way from the left to the right.
His body has been completely pulled out of the doubles line, and he still needs to take two steps forward vertically. Tim is not good at the net. He is still used to staying on the baseline, so he did not simply enter the first half because of this return ball. , the steps just enter the baseline and complete the sweeping swing from top to bottom.
jump!
Take to the air!
...sweep!
Applying force, exerting force, and exerting force again, Tim used the inertia of sprinting to rise into the air while moving extremely passively, and continued to exert force.
Sweeping attack, full force, absolutely tough——
Top down.
Dimensionality reduction attack.
Tim directly threw his body, his own weight and sprint speed were all superimposed on the swing, and he completed another heavy hammer attack.
Meteor falls!
The tennis ball once again hit the deep area of the court on Gawain's side.
Judging from the line selection, Tim tried to hit a straight line, forcing Gao Wen to complete the save while moving, and even directly form a winning score.
But the effect is far from satisfactory.
Because Tim's body was already off the ground and his center of gravity was unstable, coupled with the high-speed movement, the control of the shot was even looser. In the end, the straight shot failed to meet expectations. The tennis ball landed in the middle area on Gawain's side. Left but not right, leaving a certain space for counterattack.
At this time, we can see Gao Wen's tennis wisdom. Facing Tim's aggressive and powerful attack, he made every possible change to create opportunities for himself.
Gawain, the steps are already in place, but——
Coming at you.
Power, speed, and rotation all collided together, forming a mighty wave of air, like a hurricane, that could almost overturn Gawain.
Although Gawain's steps were in place, the pressure from the ball was extremely clear. In the tie-break of the third set, Tim's hitting was still solid and heavy. He is worthy of being a representative of the new generation of "physical demons".
Even Gawain clearly knew Tim's physical reserves and strength, but when he really felt it, he was still shocked——
It’s different, it’s really different.
This time, Gawain did not choose a forehand, but used a backhand with both hands to force the shot——
One.
One push.
It can be clearly seen that Gao Wen's batting action was squeezed, and he could only rely on his hands to support the stability of the racket to complete the push, and use the force to hit it back.
With this shot, Tim vividly demonstrated his violent hitting style from the baseline. Under the pressure of absolute power, Gawain did not have much room to display his changes. It is precisely because of this that Tim is determined to persist in playing. The idea of strength ball became more and more determined, and he stayed firm to the end.
Then.
The tennis ball was pushed back in a straight line and returned to the center of Tim's court. It was basically a straight line hitting the wall. Gao Wen did not try to open the angle again.
The first is to re-increase the rhythm, form oppression, and use reaction force to form counterattacks.
The second is to choose the middle to break Tim's defensive rhythm. If the angle is broken, Tim's footsteps moving back and forth have formed inertia, which allows Tim to continue to use the inertia of sprinting to complete his force.
really!
Although Tim's steps quickly returned to defense, the return ball in the middle interrupted the rhythm of the left and right retracement, so that Tim's foot control was slightly messy, his heels were not steady, and he completed the shot in a swaying chaos.
Still working hard.
The more chaotic and passive the situation, the more eager Thiem is to exert force, trying to use power to calm everything down, and hit the tennis ball back again with his forehand.
Unfortunately, this time, the power and spin were sufficient, but the placement and line were too conservative.
Chance!
The return ball followed a straight line and returned to Gao Wen's midfield. This also meant that Gao Wen's last shot was successful, but the wisdom of his brain once again tore out the gap, and his backhand was immediately set up with both hands.
Although Tim's return hit the ball deep enough, it still squeezed Gao Wen; but this time Gao Wen did not need to move, relying on small steps to adjust in the space in front of him, he immediately set up his backhand with both hands, and struck hard——
work hard.
attack.
oppression.
Slash!
Gao Wen aimed at the big triangle on the left side of Tim's bottom line to launch an attack. He seized the opportunity and reversed the situation. He pressed forward and swept, unleashing a full attack.
ah!
The scene was filled with exclamations. From Tim gaining the upper hand in every situation to Gawain turning the situation around from defense to offense, everything changed too fast and was overwhelming.
Every stroke of the ball may change the situation on the court. The back and forth is too fast and violent, and there is not even room to breathe.
Tread...
Tap tap tap!
Tim was running at lightning speed, his light and nimble footsteps pushing his speed to the extreme.
A forward thrust.
One step up.
It can be seen at this time that Tim is unique in handling the ball with a one-handed backhand. He is often able to rely on the "open" hitting action of his upper body to fully release the energy of the expansion of the chest muscles without the steps being completely in place. , creating a whipping effect——
boom!
Like thunder.
Even more so, because of the complete stretching of the batting action, the body's center of gravity will complete a transfer following the turning action, from the left leg to the right leg, and the leg strength will be transferred and increased again, using the whole body movement to complete the batting, free and easy Stretching is a complete enjoyment of strength and beauty.
Not only did Tim not defend passively, but he also launched a thunderous blow on the edge of the cliff, and once again used a one-handed backhand to complete the whipping attack.
From active to passive to proactive, Tim gained time through his own footwork, completely ignoring Gawain's layout, and used force again.
The collision of strength and power burst out a billowing wave of air. In the air, you can clearly see the exploded and blooming hair of the tennis ball, flying in the sunshine.
As fast as lightning, the tennis ball rushed out dragging a long tail.
slash.
blind spot.
Topspin.
He got into the extreme position of the big triangle on the bottom line on Gawain's left side. It was deep, tricky, heavy and turning. There was still no fancy, no risky attempt to change the line. It was purely relying on force to suppress, reducing the toughness and domineering attitude of ten clubs, and playing steadily. The ball of strength hit the ground like a shock wave.
Landed.
freed.
Then--
Buzz.
There was only a roar.
Even though Gawain's steps were already in place quickly, it was already... too late. There was no room to swing or hit the ball, and the tennis ball had already jumped out.
The score belongs to Tim.
