Chapter 1920: Be patient

Latest URL: "30:40".

Second District.

Calm and focused, Gawain was not affected. He didn't care about the capture just now, or Djokovic's ACE, but only focused on the point in front of him.

Tap tap tap.

The feet stepped on each other, and the calves seemed to be stepping on springs. The body rushed out towards the forehand position, and soared into the air in one big step.

First shot, inner corner, T point, speed 185 kilometers per hour.

For the second consecutive serve, Djokovic showed his amazing ability to control points. He also hit the T-point in the second zone. Similar route, similar landing point, similar speed. It was almost copy and paste, but he served differently. Zones create different effects and improve your serving status at critical moments.

Between the game and the prediction, Gawain grabbed a little time this time. It was just a moment of conditioned reflex, but he had already gained the space to take action.

Forehand, lift, collision.

boom.

The tennis ball has already jumped out quickly with a strong reaction force, flying along a straight line and a slight diagonal direction of fifteen degrees. The focus is on depth.

After a collision, Gao Wen consciously used topspin to ensure the depth of the return ball, hoping to limit Djokovic's connection as much as possible.

Deep, but still not enough, there is still one step away from the bottom line. At this time, we can see the threat of Djokovic's serve, which basically leaves no room for Gao Wen to operate, so Djokovic still won the first place. When there is an opportunity to connect the attack with the second shot, the forehand has already been quickly struck.

Slash, strafe.

Djokovic also took a big step and pushed out his forehand immediately, quickly pushing the tennis ball to the sideline blind spot on the side of Gawain's forehand position.

Gawain, playing into his heart—

Take one step forward to receive the serve in the forehand position, and continue to lean forward and move quickly laterally to the right in the next step.

In just a few long strides, Gao Wen has already gained swing space and hitting time on the forehand position. Early on, you can see that the forehand is fully opened in the posture of a roc spreading its wings. With the inertia of the sprinting run-up, his footsteps Lifting slightly off the ground, it looks like Hou Yi's standard posture of shooting at the sun.

work hard?

So, straight line, or diagonal line?

Djokovic's alarm bell sounded immediately. Based on past experience, Gawain should break the balance at this time and subvert the offense and defense with a straight forehand.

With one push and one step, Djokovic quickly ran towards the backhand position.

Then Gawain took action—

work hard? correct.

straight line? mistake.

Slash? mistake.

I saw that Gao Wen was completely stretched out, and he made a sweeping forehand shot, but he did not widen the angle, but aimed at the vast space in the central area, and shot a small diagonal shot with an incident angle of 30 degrees, aiming at Djokovic. Qi's backhand hammered in the middle of the court, intercepting the opponent's movement path.

boom!

Djokovic was caught off guard.

His moving footsteps are making a full sprint towards the left end of the court, but now he may hit the tennis ball head-on with about two or three steps ahead.

If you continue to move forward at a constant speed, you will overrun; if you slow down and stop, you may encounter a "car accident".

The speed and footwork control were instantly involved in the hurricane. Although Djokovic was definitely able to complete the shot, the quality was difficult to guarantee.

what to do?

Djokovic was Djokovic after all. He did not slow down, but continued to run wildly, rushing all the way over his head, switching from backhand to forehand, and then wrapping his forehand behind him -

It’s all about feel.

But this is what Djokovic is best at. On the one hand, it is his body flexibility, turning around to hit the ball when he overruns; on the other hand, he is playing the baseline ball. He can quickly wrap and push the ball the moment he touches the ball. Quietly neutralize the momentum of your opponent's shot.

Light, simple, like a breeze.

Djokovic's body looked a little awkward, but his hitting action was extremely simple. He glanced at the diagonal shot and used his strength to complete the return.

The tennis ball flew toward Gawain's backhand sideline lightly and nimbly.

Moreover, the shallow area falls in the small triangle on the bottom line of the service area, which is equivalent to the level of serving from the outer corner of the second area.

Wow!

The audience was amazed. Djokovic's return shot showed exquisite control and brilliant ideas in a crisis situation, and turned the situation around in an instant.

Is this considered turning defense into offense?

To be precise, this should be both offensive and defensive, neither absolutely passive nor absolutely proactive, but maintaining the threat of returning the ball in strong collisions.

In the next second, Djokovic's body continued to move forward. He made an emergency brake with his left leg to control his body, quickly pulled his center of gravity back to the center of the court to defend.

At the same time, Djokovic stared at Gawain's figure crossing the court, turning into a blue whirlwind, and set up a turret with a two-handed backhand early.

Judging from the experience of past matches and the last semi-final against Federer, Gao Wen should choose to use a two-handed backhand to force the shot, aiming to hit the dead end in a straight line.

Djokovic's footsteps were already sprinting horizontally to the right at the first moment, but he had just started his steps and watched helplessly as the tennis ball came towards him -

Literally, aim for the face.

For the second consecutive shot, Gao Wen did not break the angle, but aimed in the direction of Djokovic's movement, chose a midpoint, and smashed the tennis ball over hard and deep.

Moreover, this time Gao Wen clearly predicted Djokovic's diagonal shot selection, moved ahead of time, and gained a little time and space. The entire shot control was also more precise, and the two-handed backhand return hit the ball directly. Bottom line.

Linesman: Inbounds.

Esdrachi: Within the bounds.

Generally speaking, in such a tense, anxious and thrilling confrontation, the referee will also give some gestures to confirm the linesman's decision, and also emphasize his position in front of the players to minimize disputes.

He.

Amid shouts of exclamation, Djokovic was killed by an accident for the second time in a row.

This time, Djokovic started a little slower, so he simply slowed down, and the inertia and centrifugal force pulled his body forward. Before his body squeezed the tennis ball, he slapped the lifted ball with his forehand. It was very awkward and urgent to send the tennis ball flying over the net.

However, the return quality is unsatisfactory.

Alarm bells ring for Djokovic.

-patience.

This is the biggest change in Gao Wen's two and three games. By controlling the depth of return, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com did not easily open the line, but continued to suppress it through the layout of the return line, layer upon layer. Impact is both squeezing and interference, constantly undermining Djokovic's intentions.

Originally, Djokovic is not a player with strong offensive desire like Federer and Wawrinka. Once he is squeezed, his conditioned reflex is to wrap the tennis ball and push it back, and then use the route layout to limit the opponent and wait for opportunities to find the target. Opportunity to counterattack.

So Djokovic is taking more and more rounds.

Now, Gauvin remains patient and pushes Djokovic into his comfort zone little by little.

But is that all?

The key point of the game lies in the variety and elusiveness of tactics. It is not a game to travel all over the world with one move.

Gawain's tactics and strategies are naturally not that simple.

So, after two consecutive shots of unexpected hits, are you ready to hit the killer in the next shot?
