Chapter 2085: comprehensive transformation

Crazy, crazy, the o2 stadium is completely crazy, not the crazy kind, but the excited kind -

"30:30".

In the first set, Gao Wen's serve won the set, and Djokovic fought back with a decisive strike, once again showing the world's No. 1 style and clinging to the score.

The last game was tangled and stalemate for more than seventeen minutes, and ended with a shocking mistake. Although it was not the winning point, the transition between active and passive, the see-saw and game-breaking confrontation was breathtakingly exciting. The tense moments came one after another, exciting. No less than a winning score.

Gawain's release, Djokovic's astonishment, two faces and two expressions intertwined together, igniting the madness of this battle without any suspense.

Although everyone knows that this is a crucial event. It will not only determine a finals seat, but also determine who will be ranked number one in the world at the end of the year. More importantly, it will draw the line for the high morale that will run through the 2015 season. A temporary end, no one wants to lose the game.

However, the excitement of the actual game still easily explodes the brain.

After the short inter-game break, when the two players stepped onto the court again, the O2 Stadium also erupted into overwhelming cheers and applause—

They were looking forward to a battle.

In fact, they also witnessed a battle. Djokovic entered the killing mode, calm, focused and decisive. Even if it was Gawain's serve, he firmly controlled the situation and held on to the score. You come and I go. The balance has never been broken, and the pressure has accumulated little by little.

Perhaps, judging from the score, it doesn't seem that exciting. After all, Gao Wen and Djokovic have already played many classic duels this season; but at this moment, the audience and commentators sitting in the O2 Arena disagreed. The anxious and boiling atmosphere is far beyond what the score can show.

Every point, every round, is like walking a tightrope.

Moreover, not only two players walked, but the entire audience walked together. The ups and downs, the danger, the tension and excitement were enough to drive people crazy. Even the breath was hot, and the lungs and brain were filled with smoke. , my heart was beating wildly and was about to explode.

It’s more exciting than the Australian Open finals and the US Open finals.

The o2 stadium is like a pressure cooker, but there is no pressure relief valve. The suffocating pressure is rising steadily.

At this time, it is a test for Gawain.

In Djokovic's words, there was no way out. He fought with his back to the wall and gave it a try. His hitting became more decisive, and all the pressure was pushed to Gawain.

Now it depends on whether Gawain can withstand the pressure.

a district.

outer corner.

The speed is 188 kilometers per hour.

Not fast, but with strong external spin, it hit the small triangle of the service area accurately. After landing, it continued to spin towards the doubles line.

snort.

Djokovic's groan could be clearly heard on the other side of the net. With one long stride, he had completely thrown his body, his arms stretched out like a roc spreading its wings, and his body's flexibility was on full display.

Forehand, flick the racket at the end.

Although he did not predict this serve, Djokovic was not surprised. After all, Gao Wen's tactical intention of suppressing his forehand so far in today's game was very clear, so his first reaction was very timely.

Then, the forehand has already wrapped the tennis ball and pushed it to the deep area of ​​​​Gaowen's baseline.

Unlike other players, and even Murray, who is also a master of return of serve, the best thing about Djokovic's return of serve is his ability to wrap the serve, which is to make full use of his talent to push the tennis ball into the deep zone. The ATP is truly unrivaled in the world, and even Federer and Nadal, whose receiving abilities are underestimated, are hard to match.

At this point, that's it.

Obviously Djokovic was not completely in place, but he relied on his unparalleled talent. When the racket shook, the flexible power wrapped around the tennis ball and pushed it back to the opposite baseline.

This kind of return of serve ensures that Djokovic can limit the offensive connection of the opponent's second shot after serving. Especially for those serving cannons who move awkwardly, a high-quality return of serve can make them passive and lose the ball instead. Gain the advantage of serving.

With this ball, Djokovic sent the tennis ball back to Gao Wen's forehand baseline triangle. Although it did not enter the dead corner, it had already entered the area, disrupting Gao Wen's offensive connection from both horizontal and vertical directions.

Stepping, adjusting, returning, Djokovic immediately adjusted his steps and center of gravity, quickly judged Gawain's swing, and returned to the forehand position -

Diagonal return kick.

Judging from the overall trend, Gao Wen should choose this way.

Seeing that Gao Wen's forehand hitting stance has been extended, Djokovic was also ready to start to regain his center of gravity. However, at the moment when he was about to swing the racket and touch the ball, Gao Wen changed his grip on the forehand.

Oops!

Djokovic immediately sounded the alarm.

Alarm bells ringing throughout the body.

The next second, Djokovic has already started, kicking off the ground to increase speed, charging forward, and surfing the net.

Because Gao Wen chose to cut the ball with his forehand, unexpectedly, an incredible tactical choice, the first shot after the serve was actually a small ball?

straight line.

small ball.

o2 Stadium:? ? ?

But precisely because of this, this has an unexpected effect.

Djokovic cursed secretly. He knew that Gawain should have noticed his position. In order to deal with the potential forehand diagonal attack, Djokovic retreated slightly, leaving more space from the baseline. Taking a step further gave Gawain the inspiration to choose the small ball.

There was no time to fret now, Djokovic moved forward with all his strength.

Close.

Closer. UUkanshuwww.uukansshu.com

Djokovic's speed has increased to the extreme, and he is even ready to slide, but...

Still haven't caught up.

Gao Wen's small ball was not only sudden and deliberate, but also of high quality. It hit a straight line, climbed over the net and then dropped rapidly, forcing Djokovic to complete the diagonal shot. After running for a long distance, he was still a step too slow.

After the tennis ball jumped twice, Djokovic got into position and smashed the tennis ball into the net in frustration.

"40:30".

Game point and inventory, appeared.

Wow.

The scene was filled with exclamations of surprise.

This wisdom and competitiveness have indeed been able to compete with the Big Four. Sit on equal footing and keep pace with each other.”

"When we talk about giants, what are we talking about?"

"A temperament."

"The control of the game, the persistence of the game, the interpretation of the game, a different temperament."

"The test has actually come to Djokovic's side now."

"The collision between giants and giants? The audience is in for a treat."
