Backhand in a straight line, using offense instead of defense. With just one stroke of the ball, Gao Wen has turned the situation around and regained some advantage.
However, Wawrinka still cannot be underestimated. He has made early predictions and moved in advance, further pushing the tension of the confrontation to a new extreme.
really! Wawrinka's prediction was accurate. As Gawain became familiar with Wawrinka's hitting line, Wawrinka also had an interpretation of Gawain's hitting habits.
Seeing Gao Wen's movements as he stepped forward to the baseline to grab the rising point, Wawrinka realized that Gao Wen was preparing to take the lead in changing the line to break the balance.
Tap tap, tap tap tap.
Wawrinka was burning, his speed increased to the extreme, and he had already arrived in a blink of an eye, but his movement speed was still a little lacking, and his steps were about half a step shorter.
what to do?
Sliding?
No, Wawrinka is still Wawrinka. He refuses to slide and passively defend at this time. Instead, he kicks his feet, takes off and leaps into the air.
jump.
fly.
The volley was shot in the air, and the forehand was like whipping a whip. He used the power of thunder to complete the hammer blow from top to bottom. He bought time and created space through the take-off movement, and hit the dead end in a straight line. .five
Wait, straight line?
shock!
Gawain was startled. He had just started moving towards the right and suddenly stopped, turned and swung around, like a scorpion wagging its tail.
ah.
Faced with Wawrinka's shot, Gawain's attention was completely focused. This time the shot was heavy and rushing, powerful and heavy, and it was also a top-down underground spin ball that almost hit Gawain after landing. Get over the knee position.
Oh no, no, no.
Usually when faced with such an incoming ball, the best way is to retreat to give enough space, wait for the tennis ball to rebound to a suitable height, and then complete the hit.
But it was too late for Gawain to retreat now.
Gawain's brain was very clear and he responded immediately.
Bend your knees, squat down, and completely lower your center of gravity.
The two-handed backhand creates a wall-bumping effect, knocking the tennis ball back with a rebound shot, and relies on the power of the wrist to complete a push.
A flick.
The tennis ball has already drawn a high arc and flew diagonally.
Thrilling.
Across the field.
The only pity is that Gao Wen did not control the space, so the power and speed of the return ball were very ordinary, and it swayed across the entire field.
Gawain clearly knew that Wawrinka still had the possibility of subsequent hits, so he did not hesitate in his steps——
One kick.
Damn it! My knees really have no strength, I can't push off the ground, it's hard to grasp enough reaction force, and the whole reaction connection will naturally slow down.
One punch!
Both legs seemed to be filled with lead, but the two calves were like noodles. The feeling of moving deeper and shallower was not too sore.
Small steps, continuous small steps.
With full concentration, Gawain returned to the center of the court, keeping his feet mobile and staring at Wawrinka intently.
Wawrinka's footwork is once again slightly lacking, and his movement problems are only half as good as Gawain's, perhaps even worse.
But Wawrinka's upper body strength is very good. Even if his feet cannot help, he can still use the strength of his upper body to complete unreasonable attacks.
Just like it is now.
He didn't have enough steps, so he relied on the extension of his body to reach the ball. However, even if he could reach the ball, his one-handed backhand actually made a straight line and flew along the sideline.
A man of great skill is bold.
Not only choose a straight line, but also hit the ball directly to the corners.
On the third match point, Wawrinka showed unparalleled courage and determination from the moment he served.
On the opposite side of the net, Gao Wen immediately ran towards the right side, but
The lack of pedaling force makes the feet feel like they are walking on a trampoline.
No, Gawain immediately realized that his movement might be a little lacking——
There should be no problem in rushing to complete the shot, but there is no threat from the transition ball, which is basically giving up the offensive opportunity to Wawrinka.
With one rush and one push, Gao Wen completed the sprint and took off like a triple jump. His forehand extended along the inertia of the run-up, and he hit with a big windmill.
boom!
Got it!
Gawain grabbed the right hitting point and controlled the line with a flick of his wrist, hitting the tennis ball back in a straight line again.
Huh!
The whole audience was stunned——
The two players, Gao Wen and Wawrinka, not only launched the attack with full firepower, but also aimed at the corners with every extremely difficult offensive shot. Their bold and courageous attacks directly took away the breath.
The most important thing is, everything is within bounds!
limit! limit! The limit beyond the limit, the limit beyond the limit, both players are constantly challenging themselves.
Moreover, this is the deciding set! This is the match point moment after five hours!
The wonderful duel between strong and strong calmed down all the commotion in the audience. The collision of strong and strong caused the balance to never be broken. Either side had a slight advantage but could immediately feel the opponent's strong counterattack. You came and I went back and forth, and the bayonet saw red. The battle stretched the rubber band to the extreme.
It is in danger and may break at any time. However, the intensity of the confrontation between the two players is still rising and rising, breaking away from the shackles of the layers.
The brain was completely shut down, not to mention the Philippe-Chatier Stadium. Even the audience in front of the TV had forgotten to breathe at this moment.
The straight ball back from Gawain's repeated landing broke Wawrinka's balance again.
Wawrinka, who had already returned to the forehand position, suddenly stopped and turned back. It can be clearly seen that Wawrinka also lacked the strength to kick off the ground, so that his steps slipped a little, which also caused his steps to fall further behind.
Falling feet. Falling feet.
Wawrinka adjusted his body several times in small steps and barely controlled his body, but he was still unsteady, like a bull on skates.
However, Wawrinka could no longer care and was focused on the tennis ball.
With his left leg, he stepped hard on the ground, and he could even clearly see the dusty and billowing air waves, which was comparable to an angry elephant, forcibly controlling his body.
The reaction of stepping on the ground spiraled up from the soles of the feet like an electric current. The body turned and struck, and the one-handed backhand was thrown out.
But it's still not over. Wawrinka's entire chest is fully opened, and he continues to swing clockwise in the direction of rotation. His hands are stretched to the extreme like a roc's wings. The hot sweat is pulled by the centrifugal force and flies all over the sky. Colorful The halo exploded at the same time and ignited the whole place.
ah!
Ahhhh!
Wawrinka had completely roared, and the tennis ball was almost exploded.
Ahhhh!
The epee attacks.
Thunder.
——Slash, piercing the court.
His scalp was numb, his whole body was shaking, and at his limit, Wawrinka also made another breakthrough, completely giving up defense and launching a powerful counterattack with offense. His incredible shots and unparalleled execution blossomed on the red soil of Roland Garros. The light vividly demonstrates the variability and tenacity of red clay.
Tennis, like a storm, sweeps across the field with great force and vigor, pushing the limits of power and speed to a new level again.
However, on the opposite side of the court, the blue figure like a strong wind was still crossing the court.
Run, sprint...concentrate, burn with abandon.
