Chapter 302: first meet

Latest URL: "...is this the young general?"

Hu Litao was slightly surprised.

Judging from the data, 193 centimeters and 83 kilograms, I imagine that I should be thin, tall, and very thin, but in reality it looks slender and well-proportioned.

Zhan Jun is no exception, "It seems that the ATP official website has not updated the data, and it may still be the data when he registered the player data for the first time. Now the growth of young people is like a stick, and it is different in just a few months. "

On the training field, Gao Wen was doing baseline kick training—

Forehand, backhand, move.

After a rough observation for a while, it can be seen that the basic skills are good, especially the movement of the feet, which obviously should have been worked hard.

Many young tennis players tend to neglect their footwork training, preferring to push iron in the gym rather than practice their footwork, but only realize the importance of footwork after reaching a certain height, and then it will take more sweat to practice hard.

From this point of view, it can be seen that Gao Wen should have been taught by a famous teacher, and for a height of 193 cm, his movements are light and delicate, which is really impressive.

In fact, nothing can be seen in the practice of batting, because training and competition are two different things, but Gao Wen in front of him is a blank slate, so Zhan Jun and Hu Litao did not miss the opportunity, even if it is training, they want to think about it.

At this time, on the training ground, Gao Wen was completely unaware of the crowd watching and was concentrating on hitting the ball.

After several rounds of dribbling, Gao Wen took the lead in attacking the ball, hitting a straight line with a forehand attack, and the instant increase in speed and power pushed his batting partner on the other side of the court to a dead corner.

During the rapid movement of the batting partner, when the body was almost about to lose its center of gravity, he used a one-handed backhand to forcibly exert force. Not only did he return the ball completely, but he also forcibly returned it in a straight line—returning the ball repeatedly. In an instant, Gao Wen, who was about to return to the midfield, was caught off guard.

At the critical moment, Gao Wen unexpectedly retreated with a big stride, sliced ​​a forehand, barely hit the tennis ball back, and the entire parabola was high and floating.

The hitting partner did not enter the baseline quickly to shorten the return time, but waited on the baseline for a while, and then hit Gao Wen's backhand with full force with his forehand.

It was precisely during the time waiting at the bottom line that Gao Wen immediately adjusted, a series of small adjustments, a backhand with both hands and a straight and fast straight line back, and in an instant he switched from defense to offense again, and his body could be clearly seen Make an action of stepping up with the camera.

"pretty!"

Zhan Jun couldn't help clenching his fists—

For lay fans, they often wonder why the tennis ball has already flown out, but the player's swinging motion is still going on. Isn't there unnecessary extra motion?

of course not.

Only the complete swing movement can guarantee the complete release of force at the moment of exertion. If the swing movement is incomplete because of laziness or being squeezed by the opponent's return ball, then the return effect may be completely unreasonable.

Just now, Gao Wen's body swung the racket and made an upward movement, which is to make full use of the strength of the body to apply more propulsion to the tennis ball, and the final return effect will inevitably be improved to a higher level.

really!

The tennis ball flew fast and flat, and although the batting partner stretched out his racket, he was still ready to continue the round, but he was still a little bit slower by half a beat, and the tennis ball hit the racket frame and flew straight out.

In the next second, Zhan Jun's cheers broke the concentration of the training ground, and everyone looked over.

Zhan Jun was a little embarrassed—

The most basic etiquette for watching a tennis match is not to make a sound, not even to applaud, until the ball is dead.

Of course, during the training games, the requirements are not so strict. Players and coaches often talk, otherwise how would the training proceed?

But as a professional commentator and an amateur tennis player, Zhan Jun was still ashamed and bowed his head guiltily because of his gaffe.

In fact, not only Zhan Jun, Hu Litao also gave applause, but Zhan Jun still raised his voice to express his apology.

"Feel sorry!"

Gao Wen looked over, his sweat glistening under the sun. He first saw the very conspicuous camera, and then saw the two familiar faces that he often saw on the TV screen, and a smile bloomed on the corner of his mouth.

"Ah! You are here for the interview, right?"

"Dominique, how about we rest for fifteen minutes before continuing?"

Dominic?

Only then did Zhan Jun notice that Gao Wen's batting partner was actually Dominic Thiem!

This is an Austrian rookie, born in 1993, will be 21 years old in September, turned professional in 2011, and ushered in a rising trend this year:

In the second round of the Madrid Masters in May, he reversed the world's third-ranked Wawrinka in three sets and became the first 20-year-old player to beat the world's top three since Del Potro in 2009; and participated in the first three Grand Slams this year Consistently, Wimbledon was eliminated in the first round, and both the Australian Open and the French Open were in the second round.

Currently, the world ranking has reached a career high of 45.

This is a high-profile rookie, how did he become a batting partner with Gao Wen?

When preparing for a game, players often need a hitting partner or a practice match opponent. After all, tennis is a confrontational sport, and professional players generally look for suitable players in the player restaurant to issue invitations, including the "Big Four". Except, they have basically practiced with young players in private.

Of course, not all invitations will be accepted, and if you don't like it or it's inappropriate, you can decline it.

Originally, Gawain was going to invite MacDonald to come to the US Open as his batting partner, but Tobias thought that Gawain could make some new friends. After all, McDonald was not Gawain’s exclusive batting partner. Considering that McDonald Having just finished five consecutive weeks of competition, Gao Wen thought Tobias' words were very reasonable.

But the question is, Tim? What's going on here?

At this time, Hu Litao also noticed the Sunshine Boy on the other side of the court, showing a big smile, and gave a thumbs up to indicate that there is no problem, but he didn't say hello, and turned around silently to the sidelines, apparently looking for his own Kettle, and then discuss with the coach to look at the shot just now.

"Tim?"

Hu Litao directly asked his doubts ~lightnovelpub.net~ and looked at Gao Wen who was coming.

Even though he didn't introduce himself, Gao Wen didn't look shy at all, and said with a smile on his face.

"Yes, Dominic is a very kind friend."

"I saw him in the cafeteria with his kit bag ready to go to practice, and I went up and asked him if he could practice with me because I was just starting out on tour and I had no friends, not even acquaintances. No one has it, so I want to try it.”

Gao Wen narrated the process in a calm and generous manner, and Hu Litao couldn't believe it, "Then he agreed?"

Gawain nodded, "He agreed."

This is all right?

"That's why I said he was a very kind friend."
