Match Point

Chapter 544: take the initiative

"15:40".

In Mayer's serve game, Gao Wen got two consecutive break points, but this is not the point, because Gao Wen also broke Mayer's two serve games in the first set; the point should be:

For the nine points since the start of the second set, the scoring ratio between the two sides was "7:2". Mayer only scored two points, and the other seven points belonged to Gao Wen, and they were basically winning points.

This means that unforced errors are effectively controlled, and at the same time, the attack success rate is greatly improved.

This is a good thing.

So, what happened during the 120-second intermission?

Actually, it's not a secret.

To put it simply, Gao Wen lowered his own risk of hitting the ball, such as slanting attack. When he feels good, he will directly aim at the sideline or dead corner to hit the ball. In this way, he can establish an advantage faster; but now, hitting the ball The landing point will reserve more space, often one step outside the bottom line and sideline.

At the same time, Gao Wen improved the sudden changes in the arrangement and combination of his batting lines and the cohesive changes in the offensive rhythm. Through the layout and changes, he disrupted Mayer's inertia of returning the ball, and then established a situation for himself to score easily without taking risks, reducing the Take the initiative while making mistakes.

Of course, at the cost of time and brainpower—

To put it bluntly, at the U.S. Open, it might be possible to end a round of battle within three or five shots; but now, Gao Wen needs to spend seven or nine shots to form the winning point.

The physical and energy drain is palpable throughout.

But this is the point. On the one hand, Gao Wen really needs time to find his hand, so he needs to be patient and adjust his state bit by bit; Boosting training by competition is the best way now.

Patience, or patience, the more impatient the more patience is needed.

At least, judging from the start of the second set, it worked out well.

Break point!

Snapped. Snapped. Snapped.

Mayer was hitting the ball, looked up at Gao Wen, and then dropped the ball.

In Mayer's serving action, the arc of the arch bridge that leans back and bends over is very full, just like a fully drawn bow and arrow. However, compared with the complete serving action, the power conversion rate is relatively low, and the speed of a smashed serve is also 100%. It is about 185 kilometers, and the tail strength of the ball is not too heavy.

District one, the outer corner.

Like Gao Wen's game point in the previous game, Mayer also chose the outside corner on his first break point to suppress Gao Wen's forehand.

Obviously, after the glory of the US Open, Gao Wen's technical characteristics have been fully displayed in front of everyone, and the arrangement and combination of tactics is also simpler. Suppressing Gao Wen's forehand is the tactic that Mayer frequently used in the first set, and the effect good.

So, how does Gao Wen respond?

Kick off. stride. lunge.

Gao Wen directly rushed out with a lunge, as if he was unable to keep up due to lack of energy, and he was a bit lazy in moving.

Because the footwork is not in place, the batting action is naturally impossible to complete. Gao Wen has no way to complete the normal swing action, so he slashes down with the forehand like a machete, and completes the return of the serve in an unconventional way. Then you can see the tennis ball draw a parabola.

Whoosh!

The arc is not high, but the landing point is not deep, and the most important thing is that there is no force, which also means that Mayer got the opportunity to serve and attack.

Huh!

There was a gasp in the diamond court. Even a layman knew that he should not hit the high ball lightly, just like table tennis and badminton. How could Gawain make such a mistake when receiving the serve?

Could it be that he was really weak and lazy? Or is it that the footsteps have not borrowed strength?

On the court, everything changes in an instant.

Mayer was preparing to meet Gawain's return, but immediately realized that Gawain hadn't used his strength to receive the serve this time, and rushed forward as soon as he kicked and pushed, entered the court decisively, and was ready to complete Field offense.

Tread Tread.

Tread Tread.

Mayer's step-up consciousness is weak, and the entire attacking speed is not fast, but he still enters the field as soon as possible within his ability, and when he waits for his footsteps to arrive, he has already missed the opportunity to hit the ball directly in the air, so he can only Wait for the tennis ball to hit the ground before hitting the ball a second time.

Then, Mayer realized that this is a strong topspin, and the bounce after landing must be very high. If you miss the hitting point, you may have to hit the ball in a very awkward way above the shoulder position, not only unable to exert force , and there may be errors—

This is a trap.

Mayer had to grab a hit point, and even though it wasn't his strong point, he continued to adjust small steps to find a comfortable hitting space, patiently waited for the tennis ball to bounce off the ground, and then swung the forehand.

Details, right here.

Meyer's racket draw is relatively big, and grabbing the ball is really not his strong point. If you grab the ball a little faster, it will be easy to fly, so he would rather grab it slower and use his swing to forcefully hit the tennis ball. This is also a safer approach, as is the case with clay court players.

The "King of Clay" Nadal was also like this when he was a fledgling. It was not until he slowly evolved after 2011 that he got rid of this habit. Later, he would not hit the ball like this on hard courts. The ability to hit the ball is also very strong, and you can even change the way you hold the racket to improve the success rate and attack power.

boom!

Mayer's shot had already flown over, but immediately after, Mayer found that Gao Wen had immediately appeared above his shot line and was waiting.

what happened?

A second ago, Gawain lunged and slashed.

In the next second, Gao Wen straightened his right leg and knee to the ground, and Gao Wen stood up directly. With a kick, his body was already facing his backhand to defend.

But these are just smoke bombs, because Gao Wen knows that Mayer's offensive connection ability is not close enough, and Mayer's forehand attack is often used to hit the diagonal line, but the backhand, which is the weak link, often changes the line and landing point To complete the screen, Gao Wen deliberately added a lot of topspin friction to create a very awkward return ball for Mayer's offense.

If the opponent was Wawrinka or Kyrgios, such a shot would be the result of being directly beaten to death. Gao Wen would never receive the serve like this; but the opponent was Mayer. After the first set, Gao Wen Wen dared to try such a wild and unexpected return ball.

Tread.

Stop and turn quickly.

Tread.

Even the footsteps moving laterally on the left is a trap~lightnovelpub.net~ further persuaded Mayer to attack diagonally, but the center of gravity remained flexible, and the change of direction was completed without hesitation, facing Mayer head-on Yale's incoming ball.

Stand firm! Kick off! swing!

Just at the moment of the shot, with a light push of the wrist, there is no need to pursue the ultimate angle and line, because Mayer, who is standing in the half court, is already in a dilemma, so Gao Wen only needs to hit the tennis ball in a relatively safe and conservative way. A straight line is enough.

attack!

boom!

The tennis ball went straight out, passed through Mayer's position, and formed a crossing. Before the brain had time to function, the sound of the referee's announcement of the score came.

"Competition, high."

Break success!
