Mutual exchange.

"Backhand VS Backhand", changing lines, mobilizing; changing, exerting force, Gao Wen and Djokovic are fighting wits and courage.

Calculate and counterattack.

In fact, it has been going on all the time, every shot is counted, and each other is restrained and competed with each other to seek counterattack opportunities, but the long and fierce battle makes everything more difficult.

The game has been going on for a full 100 minutes, and the physical strength and energy of the two players are no longer comparable to those at the beginning of the game, and the state will inevitably fluctuate.

Moreover, this point has been deadlocked for thirty-six beats, and the long tug-of-war has brought both of them into an anaerobic state, and everything is challenging the limit.

work hard?

Both of them want to use their strength, but the problem is that the risk they need to take is getting higher and higher. At the same time, they both understand the opponent's ability to defend and counterattack. Once the risk is taken, it means that the follow-up layout needs to keep up, otherwise it will be easy Falling into passivity, so both of them are looking for better opportunities.

From forehand stalemate to backhand, from straight line to diagonal line to the middle, covering the whole field, the figures of the two players galloped for a long time, always changing and always confronting each other.

From this score, it can be seen that the baseline abilities of the two players have reached a new height. The result of the on-the-spot match depends on who can hold the breath.

Obviously, this "Australian Open final rematch" is very important to both players—

Gao Wen hopes to continue his strength, not only to defeat Djokovic, but also to face Federer/Raonic again, looking for opportunities to break through the bottleneck.

Djokovic, hoping to avenge his defeat at the Australian Open, quietly, Gao Wen is challenging his game in all directions, and he needs this victory to regain his advantage.

Grit your teeth!

Burn fighting spirit!

Then, Gao Wen missed the ball.

One shot.

Strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as a mistake. In the progress of the game, there are inevitably some deviations in control and countermeasures, confrontation and counterattack.

The key is that Djokovic seized the opportunity, very sharp and very timely, moving laterally, speeding up! There is an extra cross step, use this step to turn the body sideways, and with the upper body leaning back, the forehand takes the lead in exerting force, slapping a diagonal line, tearing the angle.

boom!

Djokovic launched an attack again, although the speed and power were not fast, but with a skateboard-like shot, the angle was torn apart in an instant.

Confrontation, and back to the forehand.

However, Gao Wen was not flustered.

Because Djokovic's forehand does not have instant explosive power, strictly speaking, among the Big Four, Djokovic's forehand is the "weakest".

It can be clearly seen that even if he takes the initiative to attack, Djokovic does not focus on strength and speed, and controlling the landing point and line is still the key.

In the end, he was caught by Gao Wen instead.

When Gao Wen moved sideways to the right, he took a big stride, pulled his body out, and exerted all his strength following the inertia of his body rushing forward.

Huh!

The power of pulling mountains and rivers is released instantly, and with a forehand slash, the angle is further torn apart. Moreover, speed, strength, and angle are all combined.

In fact, this shot—whether it is a defensive counterattack or an active effort, but it is this shot that is precisely Gao Wen's trump card.

Just look at Wawrinka. Facing Djokovic, you need to dare to make a move and exert strength, even if you need to bear the risk of making mistakes, you can't shrink back.

Because Djokovic's defense is unrivaled in the world, and he is indeed the number one player in today's tennis world. If he wants to break the balance, he must take the initiative to attack.

From New York to Paris and then to Melbourne, Gao Wen was able to defeat Djokovic three times, relying on this energy. He dared to attack both forehand and backhand. Sometimes, even if the opportunity is not so good, you must Resolute and decisive, continue to create shock waves.

Now, too.

In a passive situation, Gao Wen seized the opportunity instead, and took advantage of Djokovic's tearing footsteps to further open the angle, and at the same time increase his strength and speed.

In a blink of an eye, Djokovic's footsteps have been pulled out of the singles line by Gao Wen, showing the iconic splits, a little embarrassed.

"ah!"

Djokovic yelled again from the depths of his dantian, his forehand was like whipping a whip, and he flicked it quickly, and the iconic roll appeared again.

In an extremely passive state, Djokovic is able to bring the tennis roll back to the court, and complete the shot with his unique touch. One more shot, and one more shot will continue to stalemate for one more shot——

Still a forehand, still a slash.

And through his own tape, forming continuous pressure, forcing the opponent into a difficult situation, this is also Djokovic's unique stunt.

The only regret is that the angle of the tape was not completely torn apart, but turned back slightly to give Gao Wen time to adjust.

Gao Wen seemed to have anticipated Djokovic's return. This racquet roll was his signature return, and both ends of the baseline continued to be rolled, so Gao Wen immediately made a decisive step forward.

Enter the bottom line.

Step forward.

Take advantage of the trend.

The whole step up and hitting the ball were done in one go, continuing the bravery and decisiveness of the previous shot again, even if the lungs were burning at this time, he was completely selfless.

The forehand follows the trend of the body rushing forward, superimposing all the body strength and forward inertia, and pushing it out along Djokovic's return ball.

With a light flick of the wrist, there was no force, but a soft wrap, and then pushed in a straight line.

Change the line!

In such a fierce, tense and long round, Gao Wen still remained calm. At the critical moment, he did not rush to exert force recklessly, and completed the handling in the most correct way. This sensibility and cleverness are enough to make people feel again. Amazing, this is tennis intelligence, a talent.

Take the first beat and exert force.

This shot, borrow strength.

The layout and control of the entire shot is clear, calm and atmospheric, and the pressure is continued for the camp step by step, pushing the pressure towards Djokovic again.

Straight line, deep zone ~lightnovelpub.net~ Most importantly, light hit, backspin.

Gawain's return was light and floating, without any power. Although the speed was not fast, it did not leave much room for Djokovic to hit the ball.

Djokovic was very passive, obviously he was the first to launch the attack, but it turned out to be an opportunity for the opponent to push the boat forward and broke the balance.

This situation is really too familiar. When facing Gao Wen, Djokovic has faced such a passive dilemma more than once.

The previous shot, Djokovic had already fallen into a passive state, stopped and turned suddenly, and the whole person sprinted horizontally like a bolt of lightning across the field.

For this ball, Gao Wen continued to increase the difficulty of Djokovic's shots, so that all the audience in the center court held their breath.

So, how does Djokovic handle it?
