Chapter 1917: Withstand the impact

The latest website address: "2:0".

Although he fell behind at the start, Gao Wen did not panic. In the first two games, both players had opportunities, but Djokovic seized the opportunity.

This also proves -

Djokovic is fully prepared for this final, and his belief and ambition to win are completely undisguised. Of course, there is no need to hide it.

Because Gao Wen and Djokovic are the same, when they set foot on this court, they are aiming for the championship.

So, how does Gawain fight back?

Withstand the impact, keep your footing, and start from the depth of the return.

Generally speaking, in a match with Djokovic, you need to be prepared for many twists and turns. Line changes, landing points, rhythm adjustments, depth use, etc. are all crucial. You cannot just rely on one weapon. Or three axes.

If you try to solve the battle in one or two shots, then the outcome is likely to be that you lose the game in a daze, and you are helpless and unable to fight back.

Naturally, returning the ball requires paying more attention to the layout of the line, rather than fighting aimlessly.

But now, with Djokovic trying to strike first, the situation is different.

Gao Wen knows that Djokovic is still the same Djokovic, and what is deep in his bones will not change. He is still used to seeing each other in multiple rounds. The bravery and explosion in the opening stage will not last too long. As the game progresses, Push forward, and Djokovic's tactics will fall back.

At the moment, what Djokovic is doing is to maintain the intensity as much as possible, trying to win the first set as soon as possible and establish a lead. In this way, entering the second and third sets, Djokovic can Feel free to get into your own rhythm and slowly start dealing with Gawain.

So, the answer came out -

What Gao Wen needs to do is to withstand the impact, delay the game, and if necessary, even slow down the pace of the game, unknowingly breaking Djokovic's aggressive tactics and forcing Djokovic to return to the comfort he is accustomed to. field, instead it is Gawain who needs to deadlock the game rounds.

So, Djokovic is using Gawain’s method to deal with Gawain. Does this mean that Gawain is preparing to use Djokovic’s method to deal with Djokovic?

not necessarily.

Gao Wen also has his own tennis philosophy, and he also tried Djokovic's back-and-forth baseline play during the Asian season last year, but it turned out that it was not suitable for him and easily interfered with his layout ideas. .

Gawain’s choice is—

Return depth.

Djokovic is a player who is very good at wrapping the ball. Whether it is Federer's flat shot or Nadal's top spin, he can get it back; but now, Djokovic is always grabbing it, but rarely The package rarely plays ball, and Gao Wen's purpose is to let Djokovic play ball again.

When Gao Wen controls the depth of the return ball within one meter of the baseline, Djokovic will feel the squeeze and impact. He is not used to frequently violent attacks with force, and often subconsciously uses the tennis ball Get up, reorganize the situation, and then look for opportunities to attack.

As a result, Djokovic's tactics of continuous pressure will encounter some setbacks, and the back-and-forth tug-of-war may need to continue to be stalemate for a while.

This also means that Gaowen will have more gaps to create opportunities to attack.

- "40:30", Gawain got the game point.

And then.

"pretty!"

"Gaowen hit the ball with these two shots, one with a two-handed backhand on the baseline to restrict Djokovic, and one with a sideways forehand that won the point in a straight line. The entire rhythm connected with the entire layout, completely withstanding it. Djokovic's waist and timing of turning defense into offense showed absolutely top level."

"Gaowen successfully maintained the serve. This is also the first serve without any break point test since the start of the match."

After three rounds, there is a break between rounds.

The one-sided situation that fans and spectators were worried about did not appear. Although the break occurred relatively early, Gao Wen quickly gained a foothold to withstand the impact and stabilize the situation.

Just like the previous semi-final of "Federer VS Gauvin", you can deeply feel the game and collision between the two players from the beginning of the game.

Tight. Sticky. Victory or defeat is often between one and two points.

"2:1".

"3:2".

The game continued, both players secured serve, and Djokovic still maintained a break advantage.

The situation seems to be gradually entering a stable period in the middle of the set, but professionals can see that the stalemate rounds are increasing. Djokovic is still trying to maintain pressure and maintain intensity. However, as the game progresses, it becomes more and more difficult. As a result, the game is gradually heating up.

In the sixth game, Djokovic’s serve—

As a forehand shot went out of bounds, at "15:30", Djokovic encountered a little crisis. To be precise, it was just a challenge, not a crisis for the time being.

Djokovic glanced at the placement and did not argue. He just shook his head slightly, expressing dissatisfaction with his control of the shot, and then returned to the baseline to continue the game.

Second District.

One shot, the net went out of bounds.

It can be seen that Djokovic tried to pursue speed and power with this serve, but the pressure was too strong and the parabola was not controlled.

Second serve.

Djokovic began to hit the ball more often because he also felt the pressure, not just in this round, but gradually accumulated.

Snapped. Snapped.

eight times.

Snapped. Snapped.

Twelve times.

Djokovic seemed to have finally found inner peace as he finally tossed the ball. The tennis ball rose high and his body stretched.

Get close and press the backhand.

This was a decelerating serve. Djokovic pursued a route and landing point, with strong topspin, but the speed was really astonishing—

140 kilometers.

Occasionally, in the games between Djokovic and Murray, we can indeed see such amazing serves, even slower than the women's second serve.

Maybe some viewers will ask, if you were so slow, wouldn't you be caught directly by your opponent?

The key is that the incident happens suddenly, and the opponent may not expect it, and may not be able to catch it. It is precisely because of this that Gao Wen will occasionally serve with mixed force.

The key point is an accident.

Across the net, Gawain really didn't expect it.

Although Gao Wen knew that Djokovic might slow down, he never expected it to be so slow.

If Gao Wen followed Federer's example on this serve and cut directly to the baseline and entered the midfield to volley, he might be able to score a winning point in one shot.

But money can’t buy it, I already knew it.

When Gawain saw clearly, it was too late to step forward, so he could only move in a regular manner, swing the bat, and prepare to catch the ball.

but.

Not entirely so. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Originally, the score of "15:30" was relatively subtle. It seemed that there was no need to take risks, but it was not a bad idea to take risks. Gao Wen was ready to grab a second serve -

Anyway, no loss.

While moving his feet laterally, he moved towards the backhand position. As a result, Djokovic hit a close backhand, which restrained Gawain.

Gao Wen simply switched steps continuously, switching from backhand position to sideways forehand position, waiting patiently, and waiting again, his body rose into the air in the direction of movement, improving his hitting point and catching the rising point of the incoming ball. From top to bottom, strike with a forehand swing.

boom!

Without hesitation, Gawain exerted his force directly. The weight, gravity, and swing of the racket were all added up and released one after another like a wave.

The tennis ball disappeared into a piece of golden sunlight.
