Latest website: This time, in the interval between points, Federer took some time to wipe his sweat and sort out his thoughts.

The situations in the previous game and this one were almost mirror images. It was not that the serving side did not perform well, but that the receiving side changed its offensive mode. Not only did the layout be precise, but it was also executed well. Instead, it took advantage of the strong wind and low temperature at night to bring negative effects to the serve. The influence of the ball reverses the passivity of receiving the serve.

—In the deciding set between Nadal and Fognini, the two players combined only saved one serve. This is a very intuitive data.

But this game is different, and Federer's confidence in serving is also different. Therefore, Federer also realizes that he needs to change.

Then, turn around, return to position, and continue playing.

Zone 1, with cut outer corners.

The serve, with a speed of only 173 kilometers per hour, lost force very suddenly, but the landing point was precise, accurately pressing the sideline of the shallow area of ​​​​the service area and escaping out.

This is purely a power ball.

Even if Gao Wen prepared in advance, his steps still had to be pulled outside the singles line, and even reached the doubles line; and the hitting point was very uncomfortable, and the forehand had to be shot above the shoulder, making it difficult to exert force, so Gawain could only use his forehand to pull out a super topspin return ball.

Gao Wen hoped to suppress Federer through spin and placement and prevent Federer from attacking, but this time, Federer did not wait for the tennis ball to land at all -

Go online, volley.

With one volley, Federer had already knocked back Gawain's return ball.

Straight line, drill into the gap.

Gawain's footsteps were still near the doubles line on the other side of the court, and there was no chance.

"30:40".

Arthur Ashe Stadium was in complete excitement.

Judging from the number of shots in the round, there are not many rounds where the two players are entangled with multiple shots. It is usually the competition for the first three shots. However, the competition and game between you and me are extremely rich. The powerful collision between the needle and Maimang's offense is definitely Sparks were flying, and everyone in the audience couldn't hold back their emotions.

passionate!

"ah!"

Federer clenched his fists again to celebrate, secretly encouraging himself—

The game is still going on.

Federer is counting on Gawain, but in fact, Gawain is also counting on Federer.

Throughout the tour, everyone knows about Federer's serving ability. Perhaps in terms of pure serving strength, Federer is still not as good as Karlovic and Isner, but Federer is the best at combining his serve with subsequent tactics. Players who get up and increase their serving threat.

Judging from the previous rounds, Federer's serving strategy today still focuses on Gawain's forehand position.

Of course, Federer is not such a paranoid character and cannot aim at Gawain's forehand to the end; but there should be distribution at the tactical level.

So, on the second break point, continue the forehand? Or is it a sneak attack backhand?

If it is the current group of young players, they will often continue to choose the forehand, because their forehand serves are in good condition and the serving effect is good. Just like the point just now, even if Gao Wen accurately predicted it, as long as the quality of the serve is excellent, Just like that, you can take the initiative in your hands.

But Federer is different—

In a tennis match, you can't just look at the present, but you need to look at the overall situation, especially the best-of-five-set Grand Slam matches.

They need to be laid out for later.

If it is Gao Wen, he will attack the backhand sneakily at this time, breaking the opponent's judgment and guessing, making the opponent unable to figure out his tactics at key points; at the same time, it will also enrich the serving routine to avoid the subsequent change of the serving route due to the feel of the hand. A poor serve resulted in a service error.

It's still early in the game, and the most taboo thing is to restrain your hands and feet.

So, what does Federer think?

Second District.

Gawain stared at the opposite side of the court with clear eyes and concentration. He raised his heels to keep his body's center of gravity light, and his knees were like springs.

Tiptoe, swing, and then, start -

Backhand. outer corner.

Accurate prediction.

Gawain's body instantly activated, and he was already facing forward with a backhand shot with both hands.

However, there are also hidden traps in Federer's serve. The speed is not increased to the strongest, but with a little side spin, and continues to spin outside after landing.

It can be judged from Gawain's start that he was trying to steal the power, and his body had been stretched out. He struck out with his backhand immediately, only to find that the position of the hitting point was further stretched out than he thought. However, now the swing movement has moved up. Before, we were stuck in a predicament of starting construction with no arrow to turn back.

Both players are masters of games and calculations, digging holes into each other's backs.

Now, Gawain has no time to hesitate or room for regret. The only thing he can do is to draw the racket head inward as much as possible and tear the angle of the diagonal line apart -

slash.

The reason is very simple. The hitting point is too late, and there is no time and space to draw a straight line. Because the shot is not closed in time, the tennis ball will fly directly out of the sideline; so the diagonal line is the only option, but Gawain knows that Federer's footsteps are on the diagonal line. Wait, maybe even look for an opportunity to sideways and attack with a forehand.

In response, Gao Wen needs to tear the diagonal line as far as possible to increase the risk of Federer's sideways forehand and give himself a chance to counterattack.

Well!

Gawain's entire body has been pushed out, and his backhands are violently retracted and hooked. The entire swing force is delivered solidly and steadily.

Immediately afterwards, his steps paused, he stopped and turned suddenly, and his body's center of gravity was pulled back and moved laterally to the right again. Staring intently at Federer across the court—

really!

Sideways forehand.

Federer continued to move in small steps, his body turned sideways, but he did not expect that the diagonal angle of Gao Wen's return was slightly higher than expected, so that Federer also fell into the dilemma of having to shoot with the arrow on the string, and could only continue to move to the left. Move sideways, further opening your body to the side.

So, slash? straight line?

From the serve to the return of serve and then to the offensive connection in the second shot, "Game 1.0", "Game 2.0", "Game 3.0", the confrontation between Gao Wen and Federer is completely tense. Every shot is calculated and planned. Traps follow one after another, and the brain is running wildly.

Everything happens in an instant.

Federer noticed Gawain's sideways movement from the corner of his eyes. At the same time, his steps were forcibly pulled out, and his body was completely turned sideways. If he forced a straight line, the entire forehand court would be completely set aside, and the hitting line would be straight. Shorter and not suitable for exerting force.

then-

slash.

The sideways forehand diagonal "inside-out" shot penetrates the entire court.

As soon as he hit the ball, Federer's heart suddenly contracted:

be cheated.

Gao Wen kicked off his right leg and pulled his body back effortlessly. At a glance, it was clear that the movement towards the forehand position was just a smoke bomb. He was completely focusing on the backhand position. As a result, Federer's counterattack The ball just hit the trap.

Federer: Oops.

With a pause in his steps, his body quickly started moving toward the forehand position. The entire court was almost completely cleared, and every line was open.

At the break point, Federer no longer skimped on physical fitness and ran with all his strength, his eyes locked on Gawain. Then you can see Gawain's steps are solid and steady, his backhand with both hands is set up like a fort, and he even took half a step forward.

One step up.

Grab the rising point and take action.

Swing, make contact, hit the ball.

It’s actually a slash!

Federer tried to brake suddenly, but it was too late.
