Match Point

Chapter 1696: suspense rekindled

Sideways in a straight line.

Federer, shot, light, unrestrained, smart, sharp, seemingly effortless shots, but fully interpreted lawn tennis.

On the opposite side of the court, Gao Wen was very, very passive. Although he was moving at full speed, his footsteps were still a little slower. He had no time to lead the shot and was cut off.

A shot of forehand backspin—

It was clear at a glance that Federer gave full play to his serving advantage and left no choice for Gawain, and one shot made Gawain passive.

Immediately afterwards, Federer moved horizontally on foot, and in the forehand position close to the sideline, he shot from a low point and pulled out a full parabola. The forehand went straight, crossed the net, and fell rapidly, aiming at Gao Wen's backhand bottom line. In the past, there was both power and speed.

In the next step, Federer went online.

In one go, the mercury poured down.

This is Federer's classic tactical routine on the grass.

It is true that routines are easy to see through, but for top players like the Big Four, they are not worried about routines. As long as the layout is fine enough and the execution is good enough, even if the opponent predicts the routine, their on-the-spot response can still be used. The power of the routine is fully released.

Like now.

Speed, power, line, drop point, spin, bounce, everything.

Federer accurately found Gao Wen's backhand corner at the bottom line, and the impact of the quality of the ball was enough. Coupled with Federer's pressure on the net with the ball, he had firmly grasped the initiative on the court.

The next step is to stay focused and vigilant. If Gao Wen can still complete the return, Federer will complete the final fatal blow in front of the net.

In his line of sight, Federer could see the figure of Gawain running across the court at lightning speed. Before he even had time to blink, his footsteps were already close to the backhand position. Federer's shot just pulled up the arc slightly, so the bounce on the ground The height leaves a little room to hit the ball.

This is why Federer remains vigilant.

tiptoe, adjust, activate—

Federer watched Gawain's movement and swing, and then he moved towards his forehand and flew out.

Backhand straight.

This is Gao Wen's famous stunt. Although it is more difficult to hit the backhand in a straight line, Gao Wen has absolute confidence, and Federer is also prepared in advance.

Noticing the movement of Gao Wen's shot, Federer immediately attacked.

However!

No sooner had the pace started than Federer realized, "Oops!"

Generally speaking, the backhand straight line needs to be shot in advance, because the closing speed of the door is faster; but the backhand slash can be slower, because the closing speed of the door can be slower.

Of course, this is a theoretical statement. In the actual hitting process, everything happens too fast. If you use fake moves to shake your opponent, you will cause confusion and hesitation in your shot if you are not careful. Simple hitting may make mistakes. Throw a stone at your own foot.

However, top players are exceptions, they are often able to use their touch to make up for short-term confusion.

Gao Wen took a risk.

Shooting and swinging the racket, he really aimed at a straight line; but there was another idea in his mind——

Whether it is him or Federer, in fact, at this critical moment, they often rely more on their strongest skills, but this also means that their opponents are familiar and easy to see through; therefore, they need to play changes in their familiar routines. It is also a game between two players.

The point is not to change, but when and how to change.

Look, on the other side of the net, Federer's set of combined punches is smooth and beautiful, without any pause, and a series of reactions have been integrated into his bones; therefore, Gao Wen guessed that Federer should also habitually block the straight line, then, What if he changed the line a little bit?

Strictly speaking, the backhand slash is not risky. Compared with the backhand straight line, the backhand slash is actually easier to hit, especially when you are passive, the footsteps are not in place, and the safety factor of hitting the slash is higher. .

So Gao Wen did it.

The left leg, a brake, the upper body stretched out, and the footsteps across the field at high speed braked suddenly, using the inertia of the run-up to complete the turning force.

It seemed that he was about to make a straight backhand, but at the moment of hitting the ball, his wrist and forearm straightened, and the power of the entire upper body turned to speed up the shot.

boom!

The backhand slash shot explodes with amazing energy.

boom!

Across the audience.

On the verdant greenery of the central court, a white figure and a mustard yellow light and shadow crossed, like a moat.

Time, a brief freeze frame.

Plop, plop, plop—

Then.

"ah!"

In an instant, the stalemate was broken like this, and the mighty energy was blown out in an all-round way, and the entire center court turned into an active volcano.

Unbelievable, incredible, earth-shattering.

Gawain did it.

Across the court, Federer was in a rare rage—

to myself.
