Chapter 270: backhand straight

Latest URL: Serve from the outer corner of the second zone. This is a classic tactical routine.

Against right-handed players, the outer corner of the second area is a backhand, and it is often difficult to stretch the ball, and the quality of the ball is naturally difficult to improve; moreover, it is more difficult to return to the position when the center of gravity is lost.

For a left-handed player like Nadal, the outer corner of the second zone can also tear the angle even further, almost pulling the receiving side out of the field completely, forming a huge advantage, and then winning the next shot for the serving side. The natural offensive opportunity is known as one of the classic tactics.

boom!

Zverev Jr.'s second serve is still very hard, the speed and quality are guaranteed to a certain extent, but, the outer corner?

Routine.

In today's serve game, Zverev Jr. has used this routine more than once, and has succeeded several times before, but Gao Wen has already taken precautions.

Moreover, Zverev Jr. was obviously a bit soft, and the outer corner was not completely torn apart, and the advantage of "right-handed vs right-handed" outer-corner serve was further weakened.

For Gao Wen, it was not a problem.

Although the starting speed was slightly slower this time, the conditioned reflex in my mind followed very quickly, and I had already thought about the return route before I stepped out.

Previously, Gao Wen mainly returned to Zverev Jr.'s backhand with a diagonal backhand. The main reason was not that he didn't dare to hit a straight line, but that Zverev Jr.'s serve quality was really good. When Gao Wen's backhand is suppressed and there is not enough swing space, it is difficult to change the straight line successfully.

This time, Gao Wen's footsteps were slightly slower by a quarter of a beat, but the movement of the swing was pulled away immediately, and he made full use of the opportunity that the speed of the second serve was still a little slower, and he threw it out completely when his body lost his center of gravity. At the same time, make a quick closing motion with both hands.

close the door! Stop shooting!

Professionals can find that Gao Wen's closing action is obviously accelerated, the speed of the racket head is suddenly increased, and the speed is continuously increased at the moment of the final shot, and the movement of closing the door is completely used by the force of the wrist swing, and the movement of the racket is in the footsteps. If it is not in place, use your own strength to push forward.

boom!

The tennis ball flew out immediately, changing from a large oblique external rotation to a straight internal rotation. The entire flight trajectory changed drastically, and it flew out with a "swish".

Shock! Shock! Shock again!

Although he took the lead in winning the first set, Gawain's attention was still highly focused at the beginning of the second set. He was keenly aware of Zverev's eagerness for success. Capture the opportunity and launch a powerful impact decisively.

Facing his break point opportunity, not only did he not return the ball conservatively, worrying about wasting it casually, but he was even more aggressive and powerful. He took the initiative to seize the opportunity he created, and pushed a rare straight shot with both hands backhand——

And it's still in the receiving part.

This is not just bold and brave, it fully demonstrates the energy of a big heart.

boom!

The tennis ball went straight out like a rocket, and it only took one shot to make Zverev Jr., who had the advantage of serving, fall into a passive state, and his expression changed drastically.

Damn it!

Little Zverev had just finished his serve, and the next second he found that his serve was directly hit back, and he rushed out quickly without time to adjust his breathing, running faster and faster like lightning, and the whole person rushed out completely. But...can you make it?

The brain is blank.

sprint! Sprint again! Go all out!

The speed of Zverev Jr. has been increased to the extreme, with both feet on the Hot Wheels, rushing forward from the center of the court all the way to the big triangle on the bottom line on the right.

For a long, long time, a height greater than 190 cm was considered unsuitable for tennis, because the center of gravity was too high to affect mobility. Tennis is a sport that requires continuous horizontal and vertical movement in a large range. These tall people Obviously not this material.

However, with the improvement and optimization of training methods, the new generation of players over 190 centimeters have strong mobility, the center of gravity can be lowered, the footsteps can be flexible, and there is no problem with lateral and vertical movement.

Among them, the 198cm Zverev and Medvedev are representatives. The bottom line defensive coverage of the two players has reached the top level of professional tennis, even compared with Hewitt and Nadal at their peak. The ability to move will not be compromised in the slightest.

The strides are large and the stride frequency is high, which makes the coverage area larger. Compared with players under 188 cm, they have different advantages and characteristics.

It seemed that Zverev Jr. could not catch the ball. Gao Wen's backhand line was very tricky, deep, heavy and straight, and he was aiming for the winning point; however, Zverev Jr. But the husband was approaching inconceivably, and he was already in place within a few strides, and there was even time to observe Gao Wen's position at the last moment.

incredible!

However, Zverev Jr. had no time to be happy at this time, because he saw that Gawain had stepped up quickly, and he had already reached the net in a blink of an eye.

Like Zverev Jr., the 193cm Gawain is also a wall in front of the net, with long hands and feet covering all hitting lines.

what to do?

Little Zverev had no time to think, and subconsciously prepared to copy and paste Gawain's previous lob, but he also knew that he needed to raise the parabola higher so as to avoid the coverage of Gawain's high-pressure ball.

Chi!

With a big split, Zverev Jr. made a clay-court gliding movement, protruding his whole body forward, using this method to shorten his moving time, and then gain time for swinging and leading the racket.

cut!

A machete-style cutting action, making full use of the contact time of the racket surface to give the tennis enough spin, but Gawain's backhand straight line is very tricky and solid, even more aggressive than the forehand. The time spent on the racket is far from enough.

Then, little Zverev could see Gawain's footsteps staying near the teeing area, his tall figure blocked all angles like a skyscraper—

Compared to himself, Gao Wen seems to be less restrained in front of the net~lightnovelpub.net~ The whole body language is more relaxed.

Swipe!

Between the lightning and the flint, the little Zverev obviously added more friction, hoping to create a sufficient rotation and pass over the top of Gawain's head.

However, before the strength of his wrist could catch up, the tennis ball flew out, and the entire contact time was lower than expected, which did not give Zverev Jr. more room for control. No wonder some people said that the straight line of the backhand is Gawain's housekeeper. ability.

Whoosh whoosh.

Whoosh whoosh!

The tennis ball draws an arc of the moon, and the full parabola rushes into the golden sunlight like a long sword drawn out of its sheath. It rises rapidly in the elevator, so that the little Zverev makes a golden rooster independent posture, lifts his right leg, and puts The batting motion continued, as if as long as this was done, the tennis ball would be able to climb higher, directly over Gawain's head.

Kind of funny.
