The racket is like a blade, with a side cut, a thin incision is made, and the one-handed backhand is uneven, but it is just a light rub.

Previously, Federer repeatedly showed exquisite touch, and now it is the turn of Gao Wen's order—

The tennis ball quickly spun, stuck to the net, and flew along a nearly parallel track. The strong side spin completely suppressed the arc, and actually tore a small crack in Federer's airtight cover. Along the diagonal direction, aim at the position behind Federer.

In the last point, Gao Wen successfully scored with this shot and saved the count.

This point, Federer has long been prepared, obviously will not make the same mistake again.

With a wrong footstep, he retreated continuously, seeing that the tennis ball would fall behind him if he continued to fly, and the backhand could not complete the swing at all.

Therefore, Federer simply lowered his center of gravity, and before the tennis ball hit the ground, he intercepted it halfway, with a one-handed backhand, and a quick bounce.

Huh!

The audience was shocked.

Because of the strong confrontation between the two players, because of Gawain's sudden stop and turn defense several times, and because of Federer's unimaginable attack.

A one-handed backhand low point halfway volley, this is definitely an advanced technique with a flash of inspiration, but Federer showed his unparalleled control, all relying on his wrist and feel, with a light pick, he pushed the tennis ball along a straight line Towards the deep area of ​​Gawain's forehand—

Long ball, long ball, short ball, long ball.

Combining long and short, left and right parallel, Federer used the entire field space to the extreme, once again showing his dominance and control in front of the net.

dazzled.

Cover the whole field.

It looks good, it's really good, even if you don't know anything about tennis, it won't affect your appreciation of this round at all. The transition of offense and defense is contained in every shot, and the contest between you and me always maintains intensity.

In this compartment, Federer surprised everyone.

In that compartment, Gao Wen fought to the end—

Run, sprint, return.

Gawain was completely led by the nose, exhausted, tried to counterattack several times but was all collided by Federer's perfect handling, and then fell into a passive position again.

However, he did not give up and refused to give up.

Pedal, push, run.

From the baseline to the net and back to the baseline.

Gao Wen's center of gravity was shaking as if he had been thrown into the drum of a washing machine, and it was too late to adjust in a hurry, so he could only slide out again.

Passive, very passive.

His right leg had slipped out, his upper body was kept parallel to the ground again, and he fixed his eyes on the tennis ball. Gawain quickly realized the awkwardness of the position.

Even though the sliding time shortened the movement time, Federer's push was deep and directly pushed to the bottom line, and the bounce was not high. Even though Gao Wen tried his best, he still couldn't get it in place, and the hitting point was equivalent to behind him.

Embarrassed.

However, there was no time to hesitate between the matches, the upper body was already stretched out, the footsteps were completely split into a split horse, and before the front string of the tennis ball left his coverage, he used a soft and delicate hook with his wrist.

At this time, Gao Wen had his back completely turned to the court, and he couldn't see Federer's position at all, and he didn't have time to think about it. He only had the tennis ball in front of him and the three-dimensional position of the court in his mind.

Wrist, a hook, a wrap.

Then the tennis ball flew back—

Whoosh!

On the opposite side of the net, Federer's body center of gravity quickly returns to the midfield after hitting the ball. As long as he is stuck in the midfield position, he can randomly respond to the next return ball. This is the basic common sense of front-net tactics.

Unexpectedly, this series of movements gradually became an instinctive movement of Federer's body, which instead pulled Federer out and deviated from his defensive position.

Because, Gao Wen drew a straight line.

It turned out to be a straight line.

Under such difficult conditions as the splits, the ball behind him, and the deep zone, Gao Wen did not choose a diagonal line but hooked a straight line, and the audience was shocked again.

Huh!

A second exclamation can be clearly heard from Center Court.

Federer paused, went back and forth, started the second time, and once again made defense towards the backhand position.

"ah!"

The racket had just been stretched out, and the next second he realized that the center of gravity had not kept up.

Moreover, Gao Wen's straight-line return, because of the awkward hitting action, did not intentionally bring out the side spin. In fact, the straight line was not straight enough, it was not pulled back completely, and it still had a slight side spin.

This accident made the return line out of Federer's control.

sudden.

Tennis, actually broke through the shackles before Federer's racket was in place.

fall, burst—

ah!

The audience was shocked.

Accident, astonishment, panic, panic, joy, all kinds of emotions surged up.

Even though I saw it with my own eyes, I still couldn’t believe what was going on in front of me. Federer took the initiative all the time, Gao Wen was passive all the way but tirelessly sought a breakthrough to turn defense into offense, and Federer blocked all the tricks and went back to continue to take the initiative. to the last two beats.

Gao Wen returned the ball twice in the extreme state, which unbelievably turned the situation around.

How did all this happen?

Scalp numb!

Wait, did that really happen just now?

There was no sound at Center Court.

No one could believe their eyes, one or two opened their mouths in astonishment, and even the queen leaned forward slightly, watching the court.

Gao Wen didn't realize this. After landing the splits, he quickly stood up with his racket and left hand, and was about to continue the next shot to defend. Only then did he notice the astonishment on the scene, and he stopped when he saw that Federer had stopped hitting the ball. Come down, eyes full of question marks:

what happened? Out of bounds? Did your return ball go out of bounds just now? But why didn't the referee call?

Subconsciously, Gao Wen looked at his player box, trying to seek confirmation from Sampras and Agassi, and then saw that they all stood up, or hugged their heads or covered their mouths, and their expressions were full of confusion. Not daring to make a sound easily, Qiqi watched the court.

Gawain turned his head, then saw the opposite side of the court, followed Federer's line of sight, and the linesman folded his hands together, making an in-bounds gesture.

so what?

Federer didn't believe it, because just now Gao Wen's return ball was obviously deflected, turned an arc, broke through Federer's blockade at the last moment, and was suspected of going out of bounds.

Federer looks back at the referee, but the referee can't help—

Because the landing point was far away from the sideline on the referee's side, his position was not clear enough, and his sight was disturbed by Federer's figure, so he could not make a judgment and had to trust the judge's judgment.

Federer raised his right hand without hesitation and chose to challenge.

"Mr. Federer chooses Hawkeye challenge, right sideline of the court."

Whirring whirring…

The audience held their breath, because of the accident and the shock~lightnovelpub.net~ tremors ran from the soles of their feet to their heads, wave after wave, and couldn't stop.

Not even Murray Hill.

More than 40,000 spectators gathered at the All England Club, looking at the big screen with burning eyes and beating hearts.

The air really stagnated.

One second, two seconds—

Hawkeye played back and appeared on the big screen.

The tennis ball falls, lands, presses the sideline, and bounces out.

The lens zooms in, zooms in again, and the line is less than one-fifth of a ball, but the shadow is real.

This is within the bounds.

God, it's actually within the bounds!

Actually! Inbound!
