Latest website: At this moment, what is tested is ability and courage—

Djokovic has entered killing mode, but Gawain has also entered the state of war.

Both players are clearly aware that despite fluctuations in physical fitness and energy, the quality of return will inevitably fluctuate; but the intensity of the game has gone up to a higher level, from games to contests, from entanglements to explosions, beyond the score. , but also a collision of wills.

As a result, the game also showed giant-level quality.

Sticky, tight, exciting, and wonderful.

After "30:30", if anyone thinks that one point can overturn the situation, they obviously do not truly realize the power of the word "giant". When they stand in a moment of real crisis, the game is completely different.

Then, game point again.

After five draws, Djokovic missed three game points and Gauvin missed two break points. There were winning points and unforced errors. Among them, Gauvin made a very bad volley in front of the net at the second break point. Fatal, Djokovic escaped death, and the hearts of everyone in the audience stopped beating.

It was a very simple and easy one-shot volley, but Gao Wen controlled the racket too hard and went directly to the net, missing the best opportunity.

However, this is tennis, which is changing rapidly, and even the giants cannot guarantee perfection at all times; however, as soon as Gao Wen turned around, he used practical actions to prove why he was called the fifth giant.

After that simple mistake, Gao Wen did not lose focus. Even with Djokovic's momentum high, he still held on to the score and held on to the game.

This isn't—

ah! Ahhhh!

Gawain also finally screamed, his face was red, his veins were bulging, he clenched his fists and released amazing energy. After going through the test of twenty-six rounds, Gawain's forehand slash forced Djokovic to return the ball out of bounds. Saved the fourth game point and returned to a tie.

The sixth tie.

This round has lasted fourteen minutes, and time is still passing. Both players have consumed a lot of energy. The twenty-six-beat round just now mobilized all the energy and completely ignited the O2 Arena.

At the end of this point, both players used the time to wipe their sweat to adjust their breathing. Now it's up to them who can complete the adjustment in a short time and maintain concentration. In this regard, both Gao Wen and Djokovic They are masters, and now the two masters are pushing each other to their limits.

Snapped. Snapped. Snapped.

Djokovic's shots increased significantly, but the O2 Arena was very quiet and polite, not interrupting the rhythm, holding his breath and staying patient.

Then-

There was a stalemate again.

Although Djokovic's serve did not speed up and seemed quite satisfactory, Gao Wen did not find a gap and did not rush to attack directly. Instead, he formed a stalemate through the control of the line and landing point.

From the last game to this game, Djokovic has always adhered to his four-ball tactics, pushing the offensive risk to Gao Wen, and unreservedly showing his anticipation, dribbling and defensive abilities.

And Gao Wen did not act too hastily. He also controlled the route and landing point, cleverly formed a counterbalance in the dilemma of physical fluctuations, and ensured the quality of his own hitting to avoid giving Djokovic a chance.

Back and forth, the ball was completely square. Both players were very alert in their awareness of returning to defense. They stood within the two sidelines of the baseline and continued to move back and forth. Their light and agile footsteps ensured a stalemate in the round ball without any loopholes.

Of course, there are constant temptations.

Gao Wen tried two consecutive forehand diagonal shots, but they were all pushed back by Djokovic with high-quality returns.

Djokovic tried a combination of one diagonal shot and one straight shot on the backhand position, ready to go to the net, but Gao Wen's return was tight enough and tough enough, and there was no chance.

You come and go, the stalemate continues, and in the blink of an eye, it is deadlocked again for sixteen shots. Both players have entered an anaerobic state. The tug-of-war has just started in the last point. At this time, the tug-of-war continues, and the consumption naturally increases exponentially. Every time Every shot must erupt with a roar of combined force, not necessarily to exert force, but to form a confrontation to ensure the quality of the shot.

Then.

Djokovic once again seized his chance.

To be precise, it is not an opportunity.

Gao Wen's backhand slash deliberately did not widen the angle, but pulled it back to the center, but the center was on the left slash, trying to lure Djokovic back to a slash. After all, he stood on the left half of the court and used his backhand. The space to change into a straight line was too narrow, but the landing point of Gawain's return ball was not deep enough, which was only half a step, and Djokovic took advantage.

Backhand with both hands, use a small turn, tap lightly, aim at Gawain's forehand sideline, and shoot.

There was no space in the straight line, but Djokovic didn't care. When he got the chance, he wrapped the tennis ball and hit the ball. He didn't use any force to control the position, but he opened up the angle, broke the frame of the square ball, and opened up the horizontal axis of the court. left and right space.

In an instant, the wind tightened.

Gao Wen started very quickly. In fact, the two players were constantly entangled and competing in the stalemate round. They were digging traps and trying to break the routine with every return shot, so he was not surprised by Djokovic's start, because in his heart The depths are always on guard and activated as soon as possible.

With a light center of gravity and nimble steps, Gawain arrived in time.

And, there is no rush, there is still time for observation.

Perhaps the only problem is that Djokovic's shot is a light hit, has no power, and falls quickly, leaving limited space for Gao Wen to hit the ball hard.

How to choose the return route is a problem.

Gawain glanced at Djokovic's position—

Slash?

No, Djokovic's steps have been back in place. Whether it is a diagonal or a straight line, including small balls, he can fully cover it, unless Gao Wen uses force to speed up and break the balance, but now is not the best time.

So, how to choose?

Difficulties are difficult, but Gawain takes action very firmly.

Forehand, straight, topspin.

Gao Wen knew that Djokovic could cover the entire court, so he did not make a fuss on the line, but used rotation and placement to create a containment.

The forehand is aimed straight at the dead center area of ​​the big triangle on the bottom line to pull a strong topspin~lightnovelpub.net~ This is a typical Nadal-style shot, but Gao Wen is also very skilled at it.

Djokovic rushed over immediately. He had taken half a step back consciously, but he could still feel the obvious impact of the top spin. The hitting point was above the shoulder, but he was not panicked.

The fundamental reason why Djokovic can compete head-on with Nadal is his two-handed backhand. His backhand is not afraid of Nadal's strong topspin and can always push back directly, which puts Nadal in trouble.

At this time, the same is true.

Although the hitting point was awkward, Djokovic hit the backhand firmly with both hands. He also added topspin and hit the ball with force—

boom!

The ball was struck solidly and powerfully. Along the diagonal line, the mustard yellow light turned into a shooting star, striking towards Gawain's backhand gap.

Djokovic, come on.
