boom!
The whole place exploded.
Gao Wen's steps were already in place, but Tim's return was too tricky, accurately pressing the blind spot and relying on strong topspin to create a misalignment. Even if Gao Wen was in place, his position was too close to the baseline and he had to He had to grab the rebound ball to complete the ball contact. As a result, after the tennis ball hit the ground, it turned outside and topspined and avoided Gawain's backhand swing line. In the end——
Gawain could only watch the ball and sigh.
Wonderful!
Wonderful indeed!
Gawain was still rushing forward. He couldn't stop the car because he was sprinting too fast, and ran all the way out. However, he still raised his hands, slapped the racket with his left hand, and applauded Tim.
ah!
Ahhhh!
The whole place, crazy.
From the back-and-forth of powerful collisions, to the tit-for-tat confrontation, to the intense excitement of offensive and defensive transitions, in the end it was Tim who completed the offense with a bold and crazy attitude, and pocketed the point with all his might. The entire Stade Philippe-Chatier completely lost their minds.
Wonderful, really wonderful.
In the first point of the tie-break, the two players joined forces to create a "Five Best Balls" level confrontation. No one on the scene could remain calm——
At this moment, the audience who missed Philippe Chartier's live game will definitely regret it until their intestines are blue.
Tim clenched his fists, neither cheering nor shouting, but looking brightly and firmly towards the other side of the court, showing his determination to win.
Even though I was panting like an ox, even though I was sweating profusely, even though I had mobilized all my strength in this round just now, as if I had released all my strength to win, the passion and blood boiling at this moment was enough. A full outburst of passion.
Tie-break, "1:0".
Thiem took the lead in completing a mini-break.
To be precise, this point was not due to Gawain playing poorly, but to Tim playing too well. It was a stroke of genius, and he finally won this point.
The tit-for-tat atmosphere of the third set continued all the way to the tie-break, and further escalated. The uncertainty amplified made the game even better to watch.
Immediately afterwards, Tim's offensive touch was hot, and he established an advantage through serving. The follow-up attacks were compact and fast, with a straight forehand and a diagonal backhand. He firmly maintained his two service points, and both points were in It ended within three beats, and the entire attack was completed in one go.
"3:0".
Judging from the start of the tie-break, Tim made full use of his offensive ability. Not only did he dare to fight hard, but more importantly, his offensive touch was hot. Several shots aimed at the sideline and the blind spot were all in bounds. It was indeed With divine help, the score advantage is instantly established.
However, Gawain was not panic-
Not to mention that the score seems to be very different, but in fact it is only a difference of one serving point; talking about confrontation alone, a tennis match is ultimately a kind of balance:
Strength and weakness are all relative.
To put it simply, if Gao Wen's return fails to create enough pressure on Tim, then Tim's offense will naturally become smoother and smoother; but if Gao Wen improves the quality of his return to limit or even counterattack, Tim's offense will They will definitely hit a wall, and the game between the two players continues.
Therefore, there is no need to be anxious or frustrated because of Tim's hot offensive touch. He needs to focus on himself and think about how to improve the quality of his return.
"3:1", an ACE from the outside corner.
"3:2", an outside corner serve combined with a serve to the net created pressure, interfered with Tim's return, and created visual pressure, so that Tim's return ball went directly out of bounds, and the serve went straight.
A sword without bloodshed.
Crisp and neat.
Gao Wen saved his two service points with no effort at all, because he saw Tim's desire to attack, and his entire serving position was obviously forward. Regardless of the first or second serve, he was ready to attack and take risks; so Gao Wen Wen simply caught Tim's offensive mentality and changed his tactics.
Sure enough, it worked immediately.
In fact, until 2018 and 2019, when Tim was at his peak, his ability to adapt on the spot had always been a shortcoming. However, at that time, because he had more experience in the game, he would be smarter in some situations. , but in essence, he is still very "axis".
What’s more, what about now in 2015?
In terms of calculation and layout, Tim is no match for Gawain.
In the blink of an eye, Gao Wen had gained a firm foothold, narrowed the score gap, and put the pressure on Tim again.
This is also the charm of the tie-break, everything is flowing, everything is changing, moment by moment, and it continues until the moment the tie-break determines the winner.
However, Tim still had the advantage, because next came his service point.
Second District.
Left side? Right? Left side? Right?
Tim glanced at Gawain, his body was swaying gently, his light jumping toes kept his center of gravity agile, and he was highly focused.
Then, kick on the ground, throw the ball, swing the racket——
outer corner.
Suppressing the backhand from the outside corner of the second zone is a classic tennis routine; moreover, Tim was in the second zone today, and he mainly focused on suppressing Gawain's forehand. At this time, choosing to suppress the backhand was a little accident, and he was looking forward to the classic routine. Be able to create enough advantages for yourself.
One shot, in.
In the tie-break, Thiem was highly focused and in good serving condition, scoring three consecutive first serves.
Speed 190 kilometers per hour.
It's not fast, but the landing point on the outside corner is good, directly tearing the angle apart, and after landing, relying on external rotation to further open the angle.
You can see Gawain jumping out directly.
Moves like a rabbit.
With one kick and one rush, his upper body was fully extended, and his backhand with both hands was stretched to the extreme. The entire activation, reaction, and counterattack were top-notch. It seemed that Tim's outside corner selection had been predicted in advance, and the swing was completed in a conditioned reflex. .
Then--
One push, one bump, use the force to hit.
Gao Wen followed the direction of his body extension, made a complete backhand swing with both hands, and then hit the tennis ball back, along the diagonal line, back to the deep baseline area on Tim's backhand side.
Looking at the landing point, I aimed at the blind corner of the big baseline triangle. Although the blind corner was not completely suppressed, the direction and landing point were very close.
boom!
Tim was a little embarrassed. He had just completed the serving action and did not have time to fully adjust his steps. A series of small steps were still missed. Moreover, the ball was deep and heavy, and his swing was further squeezed. Tim was about to Fall into passivity and lose your serving advantage.
But in the tiebreaker, Tim was already playing crazy, how could he compromise so easily?
I saw that Tim supported his body with his left leg, relying entirely on the power of turning and swinging his arm. In a small space, he made a 45-degree turning swing, which was completed entirely with the power of his forearm and wrist. push.
Then, at the moment he touches the ball, he flicks his wrist and forcibly increases the speed of the racket head——
"ah!"
work hard!
The power deep in the Dantian was completely released, and you could even clearly see Tim's muscles all over his body were tense and his veins were bulging, which was comparable to a god descending to earth.
"ah!"
Power, outpouring——
straight line.
In an extremely passive situation, Tim still chose to forcibly change the straight line, and once again turned the passive situation into an active one. A strong burning feeling burst out and filled the entire audience.
