"Game, high."

Following the referee's voice, Gawain took out the tennis ball from his pocket and threw it to the other side of the net, ended his serve and prepared to receive the serve.

Like Federer, Gauvin also continued his excellent form in London. He only lost one point in the first service game and successfully completed the service.

"1:1".

At the beginning, the scores were evenly divided, and the two games were over in less than four minutes. The entire game was very fast-paced, mainly focusing on the first three beats.

It was obvious at first glance that both players were well prepared for this game.

In the third game, Federer continued to serve.

Gao Wen slightly adjusted his serving position and moved half a step closer to the baseline to increase the pressure of receiving the serve and appear more active.

What kind of tactic is this?

Gao Wen is still Gao Wen. This is a test and also a kind of oppression. He knows that Federer's serve often plays an important role on grass and indoor hard courts. He can beat Federer in New York. Breaking the serve is the key; Federer can In defeating Djokovic in the group stage, serving is also the key, and today is certainly no exception.

Therefore, Gao Wen needs to start with the serve and cannot shrink back or be afraid. Judging from the start, Federer has also made adjustments to his serving state today. The speed and placement distribution have been designed, and he can find a solution just by relying on one serve game. It is obviously unrealistic, but Gawain needs to take the initiative and break the balance to create opportunities.

Standing in advance, this trick is learned from Federer. Although Gao Wen will not choose a trick like "SAbR", he needs to create pressure starting from the action of receiving the serve and exert psychological pressure.

Of course, generally speaking, when receiving a serve on a hard court, the position is often not too early because the speed is too fast. Positioning in advance means shortening the reaction time of the receiving side. If facing a cannon of serve, it is often Position yourself later to gain reaction time.

But don’t forget that Agassi, recognized by professionals as the legendary master of return of serve, is now in Gauvin’s team. From Wimbledon to New York, the change in the advantage of Gauvin and Federer in the serve-receiver link is not just about the venue. Just changes.

Everything is a plan and a strategy—

Follow the steps.

then.

In the absence of waves in the first two games, in the third game, Gawain took the lead in making changes, which, as always, was in line with Gawain's consistent style.

Test, observe, adjust, and then, get in the zone.

Gawain, highly focused.

In fact, the serving position is related to the reaction speed. If the serving position is advanced, it means that the reaction speed must be fast and the response must be made immediately; if the serving position is close to the mouth, you can win more reaction space.

Now is the early stage of the game. With sufficient physical fitness and high energy, he can make more attempts, position himself in advance, and increase the overall rhythm.

Bend your knees, lower your center of gravity slightly, stare at Federer intently, spin the racket quickly in your palm, and then start the attack immediately.

Inside corner!

With a kick of his calves, Gawain had already jumped out. The difference in detail was that before he took the step, he shot the backhand with both hands and had already knocked out. He relied entirely on the strength of his upper limbs to use the force to push forward.

boom!

Very strong and very solid.

The power and speed came down in a mighty way. Even though Gawain started quickly, the swing space was limited and he didn't have time to pull away. The reaction force had already knocked the tennis ball away.

Federer's first serve was strong, fast and heavy enough, completely suppressing Gawain.

Well.

Gawain groaned.

However, he didn't flinch, and his whole posture of grabbing the serve was very firm and decisive. His backhand swing was crisp and neat, and he pushed straight forward, facing the ball head-on with a home run posture, and exerting force.

ah!

However, the entire contact time is still too short and the force is not fully exerted.

The tennis ball pulled out a low parabola and hit it straight back.

Almost at the same time, with a gap that could only be distinguished at the speed of light, Gawain saw Federer surfing the Internet, very suddenly and very determinedly—

This is a serve to the net.

Federer is still seasoned.

He saw Gao Wen's positioning in advance and knew Gao Wen's intention to receive the serve with his fist, so he also used his good serve and net to further subvert the rhythm. The whole tactical idea was very clear.

The reason for choosing the inside corner is because Federer knows that in a passive situation, Gao Wen will often choose to return to the deep straight area, in this way limiting the opponent's offensive connection in the second shot.

In the last game, Djokovic chose to force a sideways forehand attack to deal with Gawain's shot. Federer should have studied Gawain's strategy, so he chose to serve and go to the net to crack the shot.

Calculation, gambling, this is the first head-on collision between the two players in this game.

And Federer...well, he is confident enough in his serve. He knows that his serve can suppress Gauvin in the inside corner, so Gauvin's return route is completely within Federer's layout.

Gao Wen's return serve flew in a straight line and returned to the center opposite the net, but it hit the arms of Federer who was serving and hitting the net.

Federer, who had been prepared for a long time, seized the gap when Gauvin had not yet stood firm after receiving the serve, turned his body sideways, and used a one-handed backhand to push towards the deep baseline area of ​​​​Gavin's backhand position and hit the line, trying to Push the tennis ball behind Gawain.

Even if Gao Wen catches up, there is not much room left to swing the ball behind him in the backhand position.

One step after another, Federer pushed Gawain into a desperate situation.

So, what about UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Gao Wen?

From the moment he noticed Federer serving and hitting the net from the corner of his eye, Gawain's brain was in full operation, observing, predicting, and making decisions. Before his center of gravity could be adjusted back to its original position, his body had already tilted in advance.

Backhand.

Calm down and think rationally, pushing the backhand deep is indeed the best choice.

Federer's shots are always inspired, wonderful and at the same time just right, using the simplest way to do the most damage.

So Federer's tennis is always elegant and looks completely effortless.

On the front foot, Federer accurately predicted Gawain's reaction.

On the back foot, Gawain accurately analyzed Federer's layout.

In a battle between masters, the test is all about the details. Although the game has just begun and this is only the third game, sparks and tension are already quietly filling the air.

Therefore, Gawain continued to lean to the left along with his action of receiving the serve, using the weight of his body and gravity to complete a simple push of the center of gravity. Instead, he followed him half a beat slower and staggered.

Passive, indeed passive, but Gawain's attention was further concentrated -

Standing on the edge of the cliff, I have no choice but to fight against the odds. Naturally, I have no distracting thoughts and enter a new realm.

Kick, step, and cross the court.

coming.

Gawain's eyes were firmly fixed on the flight path of the tennis ball, and he quickly judged the position between his footsteps and the landing point of the tennis ball. Then he realized that the position of his shot should be behind him, which made it extremely difficult to handle.

With his peripheral vision, he scanned the position of the figure in front of the net. He was still standing in the middle and close to the net, but his whole posture was different—

That's Federer, the world-leading tennis player with unparalleled skills in front of the net.
