"0:40".

In the first game, Gao Wen was in trouble.

This year's US Open, as a wild card player ranked outside the 150th in the world, today is the third time for Gao Wen to land on the Arthur Ashe Stadium. Such treatment can already be compared with Djokovic and Federer— Although everything was wrong, it stands to reason that Gao Wen should be more adaptable to the court than Kei Nishikori.

After all, this is Kei Nishikori's first appearance at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

However, lack of competition experience is still Gao Wen’s shortcoming. Compared with the influence of the venue itself, the quarter-finals of the Grand Slam tournaments are really different from the atmosphere, the attention, the weight of the competition, etc., which cannot be seen. The invisible pressure swarmed from all directions and fell on the shoulders.

The sun at three o'clock in the afternoon is particularly dazzling and hot. Every time I throw the ball, I can feel a golden halo covering my eyes. Moreover, because of the structure of the Arthur Ashe Stadium, the light above the head is uneven, and the line of sight is blurred by the light and shadow. The interlacing is also slightly blurred, and the whole serving action is always not smooth.

Most importantly, Kei Nishikori's performance in the opening stage was very positive, putting great pressure on Gao Wen.

Why is it said that Kei Nishikori has a particularly strong ability to break serve?

In addition to point-grabbing attack and rhythm control, Nishikori's touch and ball feel are actually very, very outstanding. His forehand and backhand lack the instant explosive power of an assault, but they are very soft and light for wrapping and pushing tennis balls. The power performance is excellent, and the line changing ability is top-notch.

Watching Kei Nishikori's game, it seems that every shot does not have special force, or it is difficult to see the penetrating power even if he takes the initiative, at least the feeling of hitting the ball in an instant like Wawrinka and Kyrgios is There are obvious differences; but his line changing and ball handling ability are very good, which also lays the foundation for his hitting line layout.

Moreover, Kei Nishikori's style of grabbing the ball is also full of rich changes:

Sometimes wrap the topspin to pull up the arc, press the bottom line deep, and control the opponent's position; sometimes grab a flat hit to compress the rhythm of the round and limit the opponent's hitting space; Score directly from a large angle, but disrupt the opponent's prediction through unexpected line changes.

In other words, Kei Nishikori does not need to use his own strength, nor is he afraid of his opponent's strength. Instead, he can skillfully control the rhythm and form an advantage through layout.

Therefore, Kei Nishikori's game rhythm is often very special. It is not the kind of fast and slow, ups and downs, but a slight speed change and then calm down. Changes in details have been causing interference; moreover, Kei Nishikori's feet are very light and agile. Both offensive and defensive ends are in place. The rate is very high.

Therefore, in the return game, Kei Nishikori is very competitive. From the first shot of return, he will try to arrange.

Conversely, because the serve is soft, coupled with the cumbersome and slow return action after the serve, often the initiative to hit the ball on the first and second shots will be in the hands of the opponent, and Kei Nishikori will naturally fall into a passive position. .

There is no doubt that this is indeed a player with rare talents.

Don't forget, according to the original historical trajectory, Kei Nishikori defeated Wawrinka and Djokovic all the way to reach the final. There is no confrontation, but Kei Nishikori still proved himself through his wonderful performance.

In the first game, Kei Nishikori showed his complete preparation—

Obviously, after defeating Wawrinka in an upset, Gao Wen has been completely exposed in front of everyone. No one will use "luck" to see Gao Wen's advancement. I am afraid that Zhang Depei has also conducted in-depth research on Gao Wen's technical style. Zhigui showed the will to win at the beginning.

First of all, Kei Nishikori grabbed the serve very fiercely.

Affected by the sun, and a bit slow to start the game, Gao Wen's first serve was indeed not at its best.

Secondly, Kei Nishikori consciously grabs the rhythm.

His batting is not like Kyrgios, who always likes to use force and always likes to press on the ball; but when he hits the ball, he consciously takes half a step or one step forward, and in this way improves the rhythm of the batting , Compress the reaction time of the round ball, forming oppression.

In the end, Kei Nishikori's tactical intention to suppress Gao Wen's forehand in the opening stage was obvious.

As far as Kei Nishikori himself is concerned, the forehand and backhand are balanced. Although neither side has the ability to take the initiative to hit a shot with force, both sides are very even and stable, and Kei Nishikori's hitting movements are very clean and simple, which is also true. It means that there is relatively less time for the opponent to predict.

Obviously Zhang Depei has formulated a strategy for Kei Nishikori, destroying the stability of Gao Wen's forehand through fast-paced rhythm suppression——

Compared with the backhand, Gao Wen's forehand is indeed prone to instability.

A Nishikori winner, two Kowami mistakes, and three break points—

In the technical statistics of tennis games, there is such a data:

Unforced errors (Unforced-Error, referred to as UE).

Literally interpreted, it is an active error without being oppressed, that is, the player's own active error causes the ball to return to the net or go out of bounds, and has nothing to do with the opponent's oppression.

The reason for this statistic is that tennis is a sport of confrontation between two sides. Oppression and confrontation are the main content throughout the game, so mistakes can be divided into "forced mistakes" and "unforced mistakes". The former represents the opponent's outstanding performance, and the latter represents the score for one's own mistakes.

But the problem is that the confrontation in the tennis game is not that simple.

Usually, it is difficult to accurately judge which shots are "forced" and those shots are not, because every shot is a process of exerting pressure on the opponent, regardless of the quality of the ball, hidden in the shot. Invisible details such as rotation, tail force, direction change, assault, speed up, calculation, etc. are all important parts of the round.

From the perspective of technical statistics, the two opening mistakes are officially counted as "unforced errors" by Gao Wen, because both of them were Gao Wen's active offensive mistakes, but it was Kei Nishikori who was passively beaten.

But Gao Wen’s own feelings are different~lightnovelpub.net~ Whether Kei Nishikori is attacking or defending, the rhythm changes of the needles hidden in the cotton are all interfering with Gao Wen’s hitting. The coming pressure is always there, and his mistakes are also caused by not being able to adapt to these oncoming pressures. This is an ability that Sarkissen does not have.

Facing Sakisen back then, Gawain used endless changes to take advantage of his opponent, but facing Kei Nishikori, it was not that simple.

Just like the last game against Wawrinka, everyone knows that Wawrinka's backhand attack should be limited, but not everyone can do it. Changes must break the rules and ensure quality, and at the same time, they need to be persistent.

Sure enough, it was an interesting game.

Two minutes later, although Gao Wen saved two break points in a row, on the third break point, Kei Nishikori still bounced the ball with a one-handed backhand with a miraculous backhand and hit the ball in a straight line to form the winning point.

Opening, a successful break!
