Chapter 1415: win in danger

Wow!

The audience stood up with thunderous applause, and the entire Philippe Chatier stadium fell into a frenzy. Looking around, there was a raging heat wave, and the heat and madness of midsummer were fully displayed at this moment.

On the court, Gao Wen didn't celebrate again, but—

make a fist.

Smile.

Bright eyes.

You can deeply feel the belief in victory and the high fighting spirit shining. Even in the face of multiple checkpoints, even in the face of the Jedi dilemma, he is still fighting and burning, and the game is still going on.

The two points just passed, actually did not fall into a long round of multi-shot see-saw, because of Gao Wen's overall layout, and because Gao Wen dared to imagine, he was ahead of Nadal at the tactical level twice in a row, and executed it perfectly, converting the advantage into points , the state is indeed full.

On the edge of the cliff, Gao Wen's interpretation of the game, the arrangement of tactics, and the breaking of the rules all truly showed the demeanor of a Grand Slam champion.

The game is getting better and better.

"AD: 40".

This is only the second game point that Gao Wen won in his serve. On the whole, Nadal is still the stronger side, but he doesn't know how the two players will play the next point.

Close your eyes, as if you can hear the heartbeat of the audience playing a majestic and passionate symphony, the whole world is surging along with it, and the rolling heat waves that pervade the blood are also burning.

Back to District Two—

What about this time? Is Gao Wen going to continue to suppress Nadal's forehand?

one hair...

J.

oh!

There were sighs of mourning in the audience. Although the fans who supported Nadal still had the absolute upper hand, the audience in Paris was looking forward to a wonderful match. They did not want the second set to end like this, so the audience sincerely felt that Sorry, sorry for Gao Wen.

In the first serve just now, Gao Wen was about to attack the inside corner, that is, Nadal's backhand. Obviously, the serve tactics have been adjusted and changed all the time.

It's a pity that once the shot goes off the net, the next second shot will inevitably face a shock.

However, Nadal did not step forward, and still kept his original position after receiving the second serve. This is very common in Nadal's games. Some commentators think that Nadal is too conservative, but some think that Nadal is based on his own Understanding and analysis to get the most out of the site.

After all, the one in front of him is the king of Roland Garros.

So, how will Gao Wen choose his next serve?

After the first attack strategy of attacking the inner corner was exposed, the layout of the second attack strategy is also very important; but judging from Gao Wen's actions, there is no hesitation at all—

Obviously, his brain has already figured it out.

Kick off.

Toss the ball.

swing.

…outer corners.

It was the outside corner again, the same tactic as the break point just now, but this time Nadal was already prepared.

One stride, one kick, and the forehand is ready to hit the ball.

However, wait—

Serve, a little slow.

Of course, the second serve was relatively slow, and Nadal was mentally prepared, but the second serve here was much, much slower than expected.

135 kilometers per hour.

This is simply slower than the second serve of a female player!

Nadal immediately realized Gao Wen's intentions, not only bold and resolute—

When Nadal's receiving position is four meters and five meters away from the bottom line, he can gain reaction time and swing space for himself in the face of a strong serve; naturally, it may be more troublesome to face a reduced force serve.

It's not that I can't catch it, but that when the reduced-force serve came to Nadal's position, he had almost no strength and spin, and had to rely entirely on Nadal's own initiative to complete the shot, which was very difficult:

As a result, the distance and space from the batting position to the opposite side of the court will change, making it more difficult to control the parabola. If you don’t pay attention, you may get off the net, or you will go back to the moon and give your opponent a chance to attack.

Secondly, tennis **** are already in the process of falling rapidly when they come to the standing position. When returning the ball, strict requirements are placed on rotation and power control, and the strength and difficulty of exerting force have risen a whole level.

It is precisely because of this that when Kyrgios faced Nadal later, he was not used to Nadal's receiving position in every possible way, and deliberately chose to "serve first"—

Underhand serve, that is, without throwing the ball, the tennis ball is dropped directly, and the racket is pulled out from the bottom up. It is very similar to the underhand serve in badminton, but in tennis, only amateurs will serve like this .

Although the rules of the tennis game do not prohibit the underhand serve, because this is a technique used by amateur players when they do not know how to throw the ball, it is often used in professional games with the meaning of playing tricks on opponents and doing whatever it takes to win the game. caused many controversies.

Kyrgios is a typical serving master, and his serving ability can be ranked among the top five in the ATP, so his use of the underhand serve is purely to tease the opponent, showing disrespect for the opponent and the game everywhere.

Later, there was widespread discussion about whether the underhand serve should be used. Opponents accounted for the majority, but there were also a few supporters.

In fact, the first-hand serve is not powerful, basically equal to giving up your own serve advantage. Once the opponent sees it through, you can kill him with one shot. If you want to tease the opponent but get yourself into trouble, it is best not to use it lightly, otherwise you will be lifting a rock. Smash yourself in the foot.

Another bad boy in the tennis world, Bublik, when he faced Tiafoe in the third round of Wimbledon in 2022, the master serve once tried six underhand serves in one game without belief, and was shocked. Even Kyrgios said he was willing to bow down when he heard about it.

The line of sight returned to Nadal.

From a tactical point of view, the purpose of the underhand serve and the reduced-force serve are the same. Using Nadal’s position to make a fuss and destroy Nadal’s power to return the serve, but the difference is that the underhand serve is a conspiracy, and the reduced-force serve is a conspiracy. Conspiracy.

Nadal, noticing the weakening force of Gao Wen's serve, immediately realized Gao Wen's tactical intention, and immediately adjusted his footsteps.

Small steps, continuous small steps, to find the most appropriate hitting point.

Then, the iconic forehand rounding the head shot appeared again, and a strong and active shot returned the ball, which raised the power and rotation of the entire return to the extreme—

"ah!"

From the depths of the dantian let out a shout, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Nadal's forehand has been completely thrown out.

pity.

Nadal is nearly five meters away from the bottom line. As a reference, the distance from the bottom line to the net is 23.77 meters. His position is equivalent to extending the court by one-fifth. The entire hitting point and power point are completely different.

As for Gao Wen's serve, he didn't have any strength to borrow, and he had to consider the rotation and arc in his own active force. Even with full force, the landing point of the return ball was still too shallow.

Originally, the return shot should be controlled to fall near the bottom line, but the actual landing point is only half a step beyond the bottom line of the serve, and the effect is far from meeting expectations.

However, Nadal also knows that this is the risk he needs to face when he chooses to retreat. Therefore, he is not upset or distracted. As soon as he kicked, his body moved quickly, and he found his defensive position——

Nadal believes that Gao Wen will definitely attack, the key is, the slash? Or a straight line?
