Everything is laid out early—

From the outer corner of the second area, he served with reduced force, and then saw Nadal forced to pull a strong topspin return. Gao Wen immediately knew that his tactics worked.

He continued to adjust in small steps and continued to move to the left. Although Nadal's return ball returned to the center and was close to Gao Wen's position, Gao Wen continued to move sideways and chose to hit the forehand with his arms fully extended.

The reason is that Nadal's topspin is completely pulled up in this shot. Although the landing point is not deep enough, it is just suitable for attacking when he reaches the baseline position; but Nadal's topspin can never be underestimated, Gao Wen He needs to grab the hitting point, so he turns his body sideways.

Kick off the ground, jump, shoot, press high and press down.

slash.

Repeat the landing point, turn back, hammer hard, and attack.

The sound of hitting the ball, the explosion.

Nadal was shocked. He took it for granted that Gao Wen would choose to aim for his backhand. After all, in the previous game, Gao Wen was aiming for his backhand. But he did not expect that Gao Wen would change his tactics after just one game.

He paused in his steps towards the backhand position, stopped and turned suddenly, and then pulled back again. Amid the violent swing of the center of gravity, his upper body stretched out. Without the steps being fully in place, he pulled out another super shot with his forehand. A topspin loop, the tennis ball spins strongly and flies high into the air.

This time, the landing point was slightly shallower, and when he returned to the middle for the second time, Nadal tried to close the angle as much as possible to prevent Gawain from completely opening the angle.

However, Gawain had also anticipated this scene.

Continuously switching in small steps, moving to the right, returning to the center position, not only did he not hesitate, but he also took the initiative to move forward and grabbed a shot with his forehand.

Seize the rising point and tear open the angle.

Slash!

The tennis ball flew toward Nadal's right backhand blind spot with thunderous momentum, like a tornado, and then Gawain hit the net.

Very suddenly, but very determined.

Tread.

In three steps and two steps, Gawain has already cut into the half court, creating pressure.

The entire offensive routine combination is very smooth. Although it is not used frequently in daily games, it can still be seen that Gao Wen is proficient and has made rapid progress compared with Melbourne at the beginning of the year.

but!

There was also a tornado on the other side of the court moving across the court.

Nadal once again demonstrated his defensive ability. His prediction, alertness, and reaction in a passive situation were absolutely top-notch. His body was already running towards the other end of the court after the previous shot was completed.

Run, run, run at full speed.

Nadal's speed had increased to the extreme, and he rushed towards the tennis ball with billowing air. He glanced at Gawain's position out of the corner of his eyes, and gave up his two-handed backhand without hesitation, extending his hands into one-handed gestures.

Actually, I caught him!

With his unparalleled footwork, Nadal managed to cross the court and barely catch up, defuse Gawain's one-shot attack that he was determined to win, and counterattack.

Cutting!

In a completely passive situation, Nadal used a one-handed backhand to cut a diagonal shot. However, he did not break the angle, but focused on the rotation, using the technique of falling sharply across the net to help Gawain in the difficult situation. Creating trouble.

squeak.

He braked and barely controlled his body. With no room to pause and breathe, Nadal had already stopped and turned sharply. He started again and returned to the middle of the court. He ran wildly while turning his racket, firmly locking Gawain.

Then, launch—

Gao Wen was very attentive. Even though he had established an absolute advantage with the previous shot, he did not take it lightly, because he knew that he was facing Nadal, the Nadal who never gave up, so he followed up very quickly.

Falling over the net?

Gao Wen was not surprised. He got close to the net immediately and took the first shot after the tennis ball crossed the net but before it had time to fall.

One touch, one touch.

Gawain's muscles all over his body were tense to avoid hitting the net while completing the shot. He relied entirely on the skillful control of his wrist to push the tennis ball to the shallow area of ​​the backslash.

That light touch, light and clever, not only removes the power, but also uses side spin to make the tennis ball continue to swing outward after landing, and after crossing the singles line, it continues to fly towards the doubles line.

Fading away, fading away.

Just as the tennis ball was about to break free and embrace freedom, a figure appeared, barging in in an unreasonable way, leaving a faint afterimage in the lightning speed. Before the sight could catch it, the figure was already majestic. The ground rushes toward the mustard-yellow breeze ahead.

Sprint, sprint again.

Before blinking, Nadal and the tennis ball had left the court and rushed out of the doubles line, so that the spectators on this side could not see it at all. One or two people stretched their necks to explore the scene in the shadows.

The spectators in the stands on the other side could clearly see Nadal throwing his body completely, desperately trying his best, and seeing the tennis ball about to break through Nadal's blockade and rush out, but saw Nadal once again bewildered. Take a big step forward.

Whoosh.

With a sudden rush, in this brief moment, Nadal's figure seemed to teleport, making up for the last little gap, and actually reached the position.

But there was no hesitation. The forehand that had drawn the bow early had already followed the sprint of the footsteps and swung it forward. From movement to release, it was all done in one go, without any pause.

Forehand, swing—

Not a chip, but Nadal's signature round-the-head swing with super topspin.

Even if he was embarrassed, even if he was passive, even if there was no hope, Nadal did not choose to force the ball, but instead burst out energy again in the gap.

Top spin! work hard! Forehand, UU read www. uukanshu.com takes action.

Nadal's iconic weapon once again flashed across the sky above the O2 Stadium.

One stretch, one bump.

Huh!

Before the exclamation could come out, the sound of the racket hitting the tennis ball had already exploded, and then his eyes followed the tennis ball across the court.

In front of the net, Gawain took a step forward, trying to block the move forward.

but!

But the tennis ball was like a boomerang, miraculously bypassing the figure in front of the net and penetrating diagonally into the open space behind Gawain's left side.

Gawain's body was fully extended, and his two-handed backhand had been switched to a one-handed backhand. Everything was stretched to the extreme, but he still couldn't keep up.

Whoosh.

A flash of light breaks through Gawain's blockade and opens his arms to embrace freedom.

Ahead, there is only wind.

Gawain turned his head and followed the flight path of the tennis ball with his eyes. He watched helplessly as the tennis ball fell, landed, and bloomed proudly in the bounds.

Inbounds—

There is no way around it.

Then, full stop.

Everything came to an abrupt end. At the peak of passion and excitement, it came to an end with an absolutely strong attitude.

Although Gawain has played to the extreme, although Gawain has calculated everything, in competitive sports, everything still needs to be judged on the spot.

A hint of inspiration, an explosion, just a moment can turn the situation around, subvert all games and layouts, create miracles and write glory.

This is competitive sports.

In the last game, Gowen wrote a highlight moment.

And this time, it was Nadal’s turn—

Sure enough, Nadal was Nadal. He did not admit defeat or bow his head. His blood was still boiling.
