Match Point

Chapter 486: win by cleverness

Second zone, second serve, break point.

Gao Wen adjusted his position for receiving the serve, and moved a small half step towards his forehand position. It seemed that he was sure that Cilic was going to serve a forehand, so would Cilic dare to challenge Gao Wen's on the second serve? What about the backhand?

Wait, it was Gao Wen who deliberately left a backhand gap to lure Cilic to launch a backhand, and then started the attack in the backhand position with both hands ahead of time. The movement of footsteps is a trap, otherwise how could he expose his tactical intentions so directly?

False and false, true and false.

This is the psychological game between Gao Wen and Cilic.

Cilic took a look at Gao Wen's position habitually. On the surface, there was no disturbance and no influence, but it was impossible to know whether there was an undercurrent in his heart.

Serve!

Almost as soon as Cilic threw the ball, Gawain started to move—

Jumping on tiptoe in place, keeping the center of gravity of the body light and flexible, and then moving towards his forehand first.

It's a gamble.

On the whole, in the opening stage, Gao Wen played a little risky and aggressive, creating some chaos when neither side had a firm foothold, and it was the same this time. Then complete the layout through a series of psychological construction and psychological hints.

What if Cilic chooses a backhand, or a close serve?

There was nothing to do, but the bet was on the wrong side, and the two sides returned to a tie. At the same time, it also meant that Gao Wen's psychological pressure was still lacking, and he needed to continue to work hard.

But what if it works?

Kick off! Forward! step!

Gao Wen's whole rushing action was extremely resolute, without any hesitation, and in the next second he could see the tennis ball flying towards the center line:

inner corner.

Bet right!

swing! Turn! Welcome!

Gao Wen's batting action was done in one go, and the half-beat movement that moved a little ahead of time immediately grabbed the hitting point. He rushed and hit the ball, and he didn't need to use all his forehand. Forearm and wrist strength increases shot control.

boom!

The tennis ball immediately rushed out along the backslash and landed behind Cilic's position.

Gao Wen gave up the slash forehand gap and chose the backhand area behind Cilic to attack.

Cilic panicked.

Continuously adjusting in small steps, I immediately found that there was not much room for the backhand to swing the racket. The entire hitting movement had no time to stretch and had to hit the ball. As a result, the backhand with both hands was just a top shot, barely returning the tennis ball to Gao Wen's. halftime.

Whizzing.

The tennis ball draws a parabola.

In fact, Cilic, like Kei Nishikori, did feel good at the U.S. Open this year. However, Cilic mainly has an excellent offensive touch. The success rate of defensive touch has improved slightly, but the performance of the placement rate is still average, so Cilic still needs it. Take the initiative in your own hands.

At this time, the tennis ball returned to the middle of the court on Gao Wen's side, slightly on the right side of the court, but the depth performance was mediocre, and no effective suppression could be formed.

The next second after hitting the ball, Cilic has already moved laterally quickly, because the entire half of his forehand is empty, and there are gaps everywhere.

Tread Tread. valley

Tread Tread.

Gao Wen was very calm. He adjusted in small steps near the baseline and waited quietly for the ball. He had set up his racket early on and seemed ready to hit the ball with full strength. This also made Cilic move faster and faster laterally. sprint.

but.

At the moment of taking the shot, Gao Wen slightly changed his swing. It was supposed to be a big swing and hit the slash, but now it has evolved into an open back slash. The forearm and wrist The power hits the shot very lightly, and the tennis ball is already flying.

Judging from the flying speed of the tennis ball, it is impressively a light hit, which seems thunderous, but it is actually an understatement. In Gao Wen's hitting action, he can even taste the ease of walking in the garden.

The problem was that Cilic was already in the other half, completely opposite to Gao Wen's hitting direction, so there was no need to stop and turn suddenly.

Snapped. Clap clap clap clap.

The tennis ball lands lightly on the court without too high a bounce, and then just chugs out into a dead ball.

Score directly.

"Game, high."

Wait, that's it?

Gao Wen's break was very simple and relaxed. There were no more rounds or transitions between offense and defense. The fight ended with only four shots back and forth. Everything happened and ended too quickly, so that the audience was a little dazed—

How did it break?

I am 100% sure that this is definitely not the final that the audience was expecting. Even the two semi-finals started slowly and immediately broke serve, but both Djokovic and Federer showed some confrontation and fighting. In this game, the confrontation seemed to never be able to form, and the whole game seemed a bit... sloppy.

Confusing and uninspiring.

Just... that's it?

Cilic's brain was also a bit unable to react. He stood still and thought about it, but the messy thoughts filled his head, and he couldn't sort it out for a while. The time for Cilic to breathe, so that Cilic didn't have time to enter the state at all, and fell behind "0:2" in a daze.

Huffing and wheezing.

Cilic let out a heavy breath: Why is this game completely different from the last one?

If Gao Wen knew Cilic's doubts, he would answer: Of course it is different, because this is the final.

Grand Slam finals are different for everyone, even the Big Four. Every final is a new beginning.

However, Gao Wen would not give Cilic the reaction time to pursue the victory. In his next serve, he still played very carefully and strongly. He only lost one point, and then he won the serve smoothly, leading Entering the first break with a "3:0" advantage.

"...Gao Wen's performance, calm and calm, strong and confident, is not at all jerky and immature like the grand slam final rookie, very calm and very dexterous~lightnovelpub.net~ he is firm enough when he should take risks, and enough when he should be prudent Rational, since the beginning, the rhythm of the game has completely fallen into his control."

"Obviously, Cilic needs to adapt to the atmosphere of the final as soon as possible, otherwise Gao Wen will definitely seize the opportunity to further widen the score gap, and then the first set will be dangerous."

In fact, the same is true.

Returning from the interval, in Cilic's serve, Gawain launched a powerful attack again, trying to break serve for the second time—

The advantages and disadvantages of the tennis game are changing all the time. If you don't want Cilic to find the touch and launch a counterattack, then you can't give him breathing room.

What's more, Gao Wen's own experience against Djokovic proved that even if he falls behind by two break games, it still means a chance to comeback.

Therefore, Gao Wen will not let down his vigilance and is still trying to apply pressure, but Cilic's ability to beat Federer in straight sets is a testament to his state. Could it be easy to disarm and surrender?
