Match Point

Chapter 441: Strategic Realignment

"Actually, the player I most want to play against is Nadal, because his style of play is really special. He is the only one in the whole tour, but there is no problem. Djokovic is a good start."

Seeing that Gao Wen still had time to "pick and choose" here, Tobias couldn't help laughing, as if the next game was worth enjoying.

Originally, Tobias was still worried that Gawain might be overwhelmed by nervousness, but now it seems that Gawain is probably the most relaxed person in the audience.

Patting Gawain on the shoulder, Tobias gave the young man a hug, "Let go and fight hard, I believe you can have the last laugh in this duel."

Then, Tobias turned around and left the players' locker room to go to the player's box; when the two players entered the field, he also stood up with the audience, expressed warm welcome with applause and whistle, and looked forward to the two players being able to Let's join forces for a wonderful duel.

Ahhh!

Clap clap!

Whoooo!

The audience is boiling.

Looking up, Gawain could see a sea of ​​people rushing toward his face. The Arthur Ashe Stadium was full. Although Gawain had played three games in this stadium, this was the first time he saw a full house. The grand occasion, the mighty rolling heat wave poured down, as if the whole world was burning with it.

That feeling, that experience, made my heart tremble together.

Standing in front of 25,000 viewers is like the center of the world right now; moreover, following the signal of the TV station toward the entire North American continent and the whole world, you can also see tens of thousands of viewers waiting in front of the TV.

According to ESPN official statistics, the semi-final of "Djokovic VS Gawain" attracted a full two million viewers in North America!

This figure not only easily surpassed last year's semi-final "Djokovic VS Wawrinka" soul-stirring five-set battle, but also since 2011, the number of viewers for all men's and women's semi-finals exceeded two million for the first time—

In that year, the four giants of "Djokovic VS Federer" and "Nadal VS Murray" joined forces to dominate the top four and fought each other, which undoubtedly created a heavy topic, and the ratings may be difficult was surpassed.

Until now, Gao Wen turned out to challenge the world's number one competition, and once again attracted the attention of more than two million viewers in the semi-final stage after three years.

Moreover, according to unofficial statistics, the number of viewers in the Asian region has exceeded 20 million, easily surpassing the ratings of this year's Australian Open women's singles finals, showing incredible popularity.

Global, attention, as if the sun was enough to melt the stadium.

But there was only one target in Gawain's sight:

Djokovic.

No. 1 in the world today, but also a legend who is competing with Federer and Nadal for the title of the best male tennis player of all time. Maybe every fan has his own judgment in his mind, but one thing is indisputable—

Including Murray, the Big Four joined hands to dedicate the most brilliant and glorious ten years in the history of tennis. There are countless classic duels, and they are constantly stimulating their opponents to continue to improve and continue to improve. A grand history.

Each of them deserves a place in history.

Gao Wen carefully looked at Djokovic in front of him, feeling unreal.

In the past, I always watched the top four matchups in front of the TV screen, and then imagined that I could also run across the net in my mind; but now Djokovic really appeared in front of my eyes, shrouded in golden sunlight Everything becomes magnificent and dreamy.

"Looking forward to a wonderful game." Djokovic extended his right hand friendly.

Gao Wen also stretched out his right hand, "Looking forward to a wonderful match."

After guessing the coin, Gao Wen turned around and stepped heavily on the field under his feet, feeling the shock force of the concrete floor, and then the sense of reality gradually settled in his stomach, and his hands clenched into fists—

Here comes the opportunity! Next, it's battle time!

In the opening coin guessing session, Gao Wen guessed heads, and he chose to return the serve. His strategy was slightly different from before. The reason for choosing to return the serve was also different from that of Kei Nishikori in the quarter-finals. Instead, he formulated a countermeasure according to his opponent.

Throughout Djokovic's entire career, starting from his first Grand Slam trophy at the Australian Open in 2008, he has never been considered a "master serve" because his bottom line ability is really strong. Too strong, known as the highest ceiling that cannot be surpassed in professional tennis.

Djokovic's playing style, with the arm injury in 2017 as a watershed, can be divided into two periods:

Before 2017, Djokovic was a typical bottom-line full-court player. His offensive and defensive abilities reached a new level, especially his body flexibility gave him a unique touch, whether it is offensive or defensive. Defensively, wraps the tennis ball very well.

In addition, Djokovic's anticipation, observation, movement and other abilities are all top-notch, and his and Murray's ability to receive and serve are generally considered to be the best in professional tennis.

This also makes Djokovic an out-and-out baseline master, and his game needs to rely on baseline layout and confrontation to find ways to score.

It is no exaggeration to say that Djokovic’s bottom line really does not drop the ball. Every time Federer, Wawrinka, and Nadal beat Djokovic, they use their smooth offense to tear apart the opponent’s super ability to cover the whole court .

Until very, very later, a young Zverev who was more wearable and resistant than Djokovic, and a Medvedev whose defensive ability surpassed Nadal at his peak were born. The bottom line of the two young people did not drop the ball Ability to surpass Djokovic.

However, during this period, Djokovic's forehand attack was still very sharp. He would often take the initiative to make an assault and seize the offensive initiative; moreover, Djokovic's forehand was often able to Form the winning point.

After 2017, due to his arm injury, Djokovic seldom attacked. Even if he took the initiative to exert force, it was often rotation and arc ~lightnovelpub.net~ Minimize the violent attack of flat strikes as much as possible.

It is precisely because of this that Djokovic's game has become very "grinding", and the back and forth baseline shots seem to never end.

Watching Djokovic play also becomes a crucible, because he always wraps all the **** with a soft touch and then allows the ball to continue.

However, Djokovic's control and adjustment of the hitting method is still ahead of all young people, so he can always choose the correct hitting method to get points at critical moments.

At the same time, because of the lack of attack power in the forehand, Djokovic has put a lot of effort into serving. His serve is often not a cannon like Isner, but he can always create it through the control of the landing point and the collision of speed. threaten.

In other words, serving is indeed one of Djokovic's comprehensive and balanced techniques and tactics, which is relatively not that strong.
