Forehand position, blind spot——
The prediction is accurate.
But Gao Wen still had no room to breathe. Although Nadal was in poor condition and the lack of details led to a decline in offensive effectiveness, the oppression of classic routines still existed objectively and overwhelmingly.
Gawain's steps across the court barely caught up with his horse, and he had already struck out with his forehand, going from bottom to top, circling around his head, and unsheathing his long sword with a strong topspin. His full and graceful swing moved the whole audience. There was an exclamation.
"Swinging the racket around the head in Na style".
Gao Wen is using Nadal's famous stunt to complete the forehand save!
Of course, Nadal is special. No one can copy his shots, including Thiem and Gauvin. The same swing may not necessarily produce the same shot effect, but at least the purpose is the same.
Under extreme passivity, complete the defense with diagonal movements of forehand topspin.
The tennis ball drew a thrilling arc and rushed back toward the blind corner of Nadal's backhand baseline. However, the control accuracy was slightly off and did not completely enter the big triangle area, giving Nadal room to counterattack.
Nadal's steps are a little heavy. Although he has passed the peak of his physical strength, it is not the beginning of the game after all. After three hours of fierce battle, his physical function will inevitably decline.
Therefore, Nadal tried to hit a straight backhand, but because he lacked a small half-step, the hitting point was slightly later. In the end, the straight line was not completely straightened, leaving a little breathing room.
Gawain didn't miss it.
The steps are quick, and the backhand with both hands leads to the shot early, using the inertia of the movement to throw the body out, pushing it back and forth, and hitting it in a straight line.
Come straight. Go straight.
Moreover, Gao Wen's hitting control was more careful, and the landing point further penetrated into the blind spot of Nadal's backhand bottom line, and the impact and squeeze went further.
Layers upon layers upon layers, coming at you——
Nadal obviously felt the pressure. There was no problem with his footwork this time, but the swing speed of his two-handed backhand was suppressed, forcing Nadal to choose to take the initiative on the backhand position and launch a counterattack in the defensive position.
"ah!"
Swing, explode, release.
Nadal saw that Gawain was moving to the right to prepare for the defense of his forehand. He obviously judged that it was a high probability for Nadal to choose a diagonal line after being squeezed on his backhand. After all, Nadal's character still tended to continue the tug of war. The round ball keeps accumulating its advantages.
Nadal's games are often not straightforward and straightforward. He tends to accumulate advantages through rounds and then make the final decision.
But that doesn't mean Nadal won't change his formation.
At this time, his body was severely exhausted, his opponent was aggressive, and he was in deep crisis. In the long round of multi-shot tug-of-war, he no longer had the upper hand, so when he saw an opportunity, he had to act quickly, otherwise it would be fleeting.
then--
Backhand, straight line, deep zone, hammer blow.
For the third consecutive shot, Nadal and Gauvin's returns flew in a straight line.
The difficulty of control was beyond imagination, but both players showed their top level in the backhand position at this time. Whether they were using force or actively exerting force, the route, placement and rotation control of the return ball were all top-notch.
Moreover, Nadal exerted his strength.
Danger.
Danger Danger Danger.
Gawain could clearly feel Philippe Chartier's gasps of exclamation pouring out from all directions, the goosebumps on the surface of his skin were screaming, and his extremely tight heartstrings were on fire.
Nadal, indeed Nadal, his courage and execution at critical moments are perfect, not only sudden, but also efficient, turning the situation around in an instant.
But Gawain didn't panic, and was even a little excited.
One kick, one rush.
The body suddenly stopped and turned, leaving only an afterimage on the right side before it rushed towards the left side; moreover, as soon as the steps started, a response plan was already conceived, and the two-handed backhand began to take the shot immediately.
step.
Two steps.
Then, use the power of sprinting to throw your body directly.
Step up.
Press forward.
There is no room for the step forward to grab the rising point, but the tendency of the body movement is to press diagonally forward, and the weight, speed and strength are all moved upward, and the swing movement is obviously forward and upward.
Rob.
When you can't step forward, you can use other movements of your body to grab a beat, and all the power is concentrated and poured out.
Collide!
Wave!
Take action, cleanly, concisely and clearly.
Everything is too fast——
Blink a little and you might miss it.
Gao Wen superimposed all the weight and strength of his whole body on the swing movement, completed the turning movement in an independent way, and completely threw the racket.
slash.
Hammering.
Thunder.
In an instant, you can feel the galloping momentum of thousands of troops opening the floodgates to release the flood.
boom!
Boom!
Thunder rolled and the tennis ball tore through the court like a bolt of lightning.
Across the court, Nadal was running with all his strength. His high-speed flying figure turned into an afterimage, dragging a turbulent wave of air on the red soil, bursting out with a surging energy like a spark hitting the earth.
Concentrated and fearless, Nadal charged toward the forehand without reservation.
Kick, slide, stretch.
Nadal's weapons at the bottom of the box have all been displayed, and there is a touch of determination in his eyes, and you can even see the splendid burning of his soul.
However, not enough is not enough after all.
Swipe and pull.
The dust was flying and the waves were rolling. Nadal's sliding step had been extended to the extreme, but in the end it was still too late. He watched helplessly as the tennis ball slid past one step in front of him, like a shooting star.
Landed.
burst.
Score.
The whole audience was stunned.
Gao Wen's stroke was not only sudden but also bold. He actually aimed at Nadal's forehand and launched a full-scale attack, breaking through from Nadal's strongest point. The most important thing is that he is firm and courageous, sharp enough and heavy enough.
A final word that changes the situation.
From Nadal's comprehensive layout to Gawain's vigorous counterattack, to Nadal's switch from defense to offense, and finally ended with Gawain's strength.
Violent but unrestrained, smooth and wanton.
There was a roar in my mind——
Broke.
At the end of the third set, Gao Wen broke serve again and overtook the score, and was about to serve to win the set.
The game is beautiful, my wife is really beautiful.
The next second, the entire Roland Garros was plunged into a turbulent frenzy.
Cheer, scream, jump, and enjoy the madness of this moment with all your strength.
Huchihuchi.
Nadal's chest was rising and falling rapidly, feeling a little lost and sad. Unspeakable confusion flashed in his eyes. Even if he tried his best to hide it, he could not help but reveal some confusion and uneasiness.
Huchihuchi.
Gao Wen was breathing heavily. He no longer had the energy to celebrate at this time. Every bit of energy was precious, but he still stood there and quietly stared at Nadal across the court with admiration.
In the arena of competitive sports, how should we correctly express our respect, admiration and adoration when facing our idols?
Give it your all, and then defeat him, openly, passionately, without reservation.
