Unlike the Williams sisters, Wawrinka does not have an open stance, but the same thing between the two is that Wawrinka also uses his own power release to complete the suppression. Even if the hitting point is later, he can rely on power to form control. , decide your hitting line at the moment you touch the ball——
straight line? Slash? All are fine.
In other words, the opponent is completely defenseless.
Judging from the swing trajectory and hitting routine, it should obviously be a diagonal hit, but Wawrinka can hit a straight line, both forehand and backhand. It is difficult to judge. This is talent and ability. At the same time , this is the key for players to stand out from the crowd.
There is no doubt that Wawrinka is the most special player in the ATP giant era, relying on his unparalleled offensive talent to win a place.
Although the level of the defensive end is very, very lacking, Wawrinka's defensive return is difficult to stalemate, his hitting technique is single, and his defensive quality is mediocre; however, Wawrinka relies on one of his specialties to compete in the ATP world that pays more and more attention to comprehensiveness and balance. Here, I wrote my own glory.
Here, there is another question——
Why is it that Soderling, who has a similar style, defeated Nadal one year, Federer the other year, and advanced to the French Open finals for two consecutive years, but he has never been able to pierce the window?
The reason is that Wawrinka has a kind of "crazy energy".
There is such a phenomenon in all competitive sports, "super state".
That is to say, the player's small universe explodes, and the competitive state reaches a new level. Gods kill gods and Buddhas kill Buddhas. They are completely unstoppable and completely dominate the game.
Tennis is no exception. Top players, including the Big Four, have all more or less shown their super powers and entered a new level.
Not to mention, in last year's Toronto Masters, Tsonga was like this. He defeated Djokovic, Murray, Dimitrov and Federer consecutively to win the championship. Moreover, in these four games, he only faced Mourinho. When Lei was playing, he lost one set, and all other games were swept and lost.
Amazing, appalling, gratifying—
Even Tsonga himself was not able to reproduce such a "super-god state" later.
Wawrinka is also one of the representatives.
But here's the key, Wawrinka entered a super-god state more than once.
He faced Tsonga in the quarter-finals in Madrid in 2013, Murray in the quarter-finals of the US Open in 2013, Djokovic in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open in 2014, Federer in the Monte Carlo final in 2014, and Nadal in the quarter-finals in Rome in 2015. , and the 2015 Roland Garros quarter-finals against Federer, all of which were like this.
In these games, Wawrinka's state, ability and performance have completely entered a new level, which can be said to be truly crazy.
And that’s not all the games mentioned above.
It is precisely because of this that Wawrinka has become the only player in the era of giants who can still win the Grand Slam championship despite all the Big Four participating——
In the original historical time and space, until 2022, Wawrinka was still the only player to accomplish such a feat. It is no wonder that countless fans are willing to cheer for Wawrinka, and he has indeed won these applause.
Of course, Gawain should be added now.
Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that both the fanatical fans and the masses, including professionals, are all looking forward to this showdown, not to mention that the two players defeated Nadal and Federer respectively to complete the meeting. What about collisions?
Obviously, the two players are also deeply aware of this——
In the first set, Gao Wen took the lead in entering the state and seized the opportunity with a break of serve.
In the second set, Wawrinka improved his condition across the board and continued to exert pressure.
In Wawrinka's game, the ball hits the ball deep, hard and punchy enough, with continuous shock waves. If the resistance and confrontation of the return quality are slightly insufficient, he will be in danger, especially on clay, where spin can limit his attack, but any little bit of resistance and confrontation will be in danger. The flaw may turn into an opportunity for Wawrinka to attack, causing the point to end directly.
The two players were entangled and stalemate all the way. Finally, at the end of the set, Wawrinka really went crazy and used two consecutive line-pressure attacks to get a break point in Gawain's unavoidable serve.
Although Gao Wen saved one, the second one was broken straight down by Wawrinka's unreasonable one-handed backhand, and he suffered a fatal break and lost the second set.
"6:4", Wawrinka responded in kind and equalized the score.
"6:2", Wawrinka was already furious, winning four consecutive games from the second to the third set. Finally, he broke Gawain's serve at the beginning and end of the set, and won the game with a very obvious advantage. The Battle of Tianwang Mountain.
In the third set, it cannot be said that Gawain did not play well. Although the impact of physical strength is objective, Wawrinka also experienced the test of extreme physical strength. It is fair to both parties. The real key lies in Wawrinka——
Wawrinka once again entered a super state and completely controlled the game.
Wawrinka's offense has been amazing.
For example, in the second area, Gao Wen chose the classic tactical routine of pressing the backhand from the outside corner. The serve with strong topspin and external spin was very good. It not only completely tore the angle apart, but also turned high and turned, forcing Wawrinka to lose his center of gravity.
However, Wawrinka forced an attack diagonally above his shoulder, and used his backhand to tear out a straight line, pressing it to the outside of the sideline to a hair's length, narrowly entering the bounds, and hitting a return serve to score an ACE.
Amid the exclamations of the audience, Gawain could only laugh.
For example, Gao Wen established an advantage through layout, continuously suppressing Wawrinka's backhand and then pounced on his forehand. The ball had already landed in the dead corner of Wawrinka's right baseline, forcing Wawrinka to lose his center of gravity and become unsteady on his feet and almost fell.
However, Wawrinka forced an attack with his forehand and caught Gawain's movement tendency to return to defend his forehand. Without his center of gravity and no space to hit the ball, Wawrinka unbelievably drew a straight line and hit the dead corner of Gawain's backhand baseline. Hit the red heart accurately and score the winning point.
Gawain is helpless.
In other words, Gawain played very well, pushing Wawrinka to the extreme, but Wawrinka really played like crazy, hitting whatever he wanted, and every shot was aimed at the corners, and all of them went into the bounds.
It has to be powerful, it has to have a landing point, it has to be sudden and it has to be sudden. It just relies on unreasonable and unstoppable attacks to open the way.
Wawrinka, crazy.
From the middle of the second set, Wawrinka was in complete control.
Faced with such a situation, there is actually not much that Gao Wen can do. The only thing he can do now is to focus on his own game, avoid being affected as much as possible, continue to make plans and continue to fight, hold on to the game and not be thrown away——
Once thrown away, facing Wawrinka with such firepower and condition, he may never be able to catch up again.
Gawain needs a belief in victory, believing that he can still win, gritting his teeth and keeping up with Wawrinka, and then patiently waiting for Wawrinka's other physical peak.
Judging from the words, this seems very simple, but anyone who has experienced a marathon knows that once the leading runner speeds up and completely gets rid of the big group, then he cannot keep up. Gritting his teeth to keep up with the rhythm requires more physical energy. and energy, changing your own rhythm and trying to keep up with your opponent's rhythm is definitely not as easy as it looks.
Now, the same is true for Gawain.
In the fourth set, Wawrinka broke serve again.
