Match Point

Chapter 613: King of Mill Kings

run wild! Kick off! brake! shot!

With a straight forehand, he made a shot with all his strength, aiming at the dead corner of the big triangle on the bottom line to attack, a fight under extremely difficult circumstances!

"Out of bounds!"

The line judge's gesture was extremely firm, announcing the tug-of-war of twenty-five beats, and finally ended the competition with Gao Wen's forehand slightly longer than the baseline.

oh!

Just a little bit, just a little bit!

Qiao Wangsheng hugged his head in disbelief, and looked at the landing point with regret on his face. It was just a gap of less than one finger, and he could enter the boundary by just a little bit!

In an instant, the heartbeat stopped, and the audience sighed and lamented.

Simon raised his clenched right fist high and looked at Gawain on the other side of the field with burning eyes. The frustration and depression of missing two servings in a row to win the game were unreservedly vented at this moment. Longing sparkles in the eyes.

I have to say that Simon's ability to fight against the bottom line is really too strong, he is completely the second Hewitt!

Qiao Wangsheng looked at Simon in disbelief. He didn't know how Simon was able to resist Gao Wen's continuous attack with multiple shots. The dangerous and dangerous scene was really exciting.

Then, he followed his gaze to look at Gao Wen on the other side of the field, his heart curled up into a ball, he didn't dare to breathe or think, he just stared at Gao Wen intently, but he didn't dare to speak, for fear of his own The slightest noise could disrupt Gao Wen's concentration and ruin the match.

On the one hand, he was nervous, the match seemed to be hopeless, and he was so nervous that he couldn't breathe; but on the other hand, he was looking forward, looking forward to Gawain's counterattack to create miracles again.

I couldn't find an accurate way to express my contradictory feelings, so I could only silently recite over and over again in my heart:

Come on Gao Wen! Come on Gao Wen!

I didn't even realize that my hands were completely twisted together, and the joints were wrong. I used all my strength to hold it firmly, as if I could become Gawain's strength as long as I exerted enough strength. Gao Wen, who was dripping with sweat, revealed a sense of sincerity.

On the field, Gawain was out of breath.

Huffing and wheezing.

"6:3".

Match Point appeared, but at this moment, Gao Wen didn't have any thoughts about Match Point at all. He just watched Simon and thought of NCAA's Saramento in his mind.

When they played against Saramento, Gao Wen thought that it would be enough to treat Saramento as a junior version of Simon; It is indeed the same, but Simon's difficulty is definitely not only advanced, but nightmare level.

Cover the whole field, everywhere.

That's the best way to describe Simon.

In fact, many people don't like Simon, because Simon doesn't have any special style of playing. He seems to be running all over the field, defending and defending. His offensive ability is mediocre. Even if he takes the initiative to attack, it is difficult to play vigorously. hit the ball, so it's all about defense.

When it comes to defense, young fans should blurt out Nadal's name.

In fact, Nadal did start with defense, but what really made him one of the Big Four was his forehand attack, including Federer and Djokovic who said more than once that Nadal's forehand is the most troublesome .

Simon, definitely not Nadal, who is closer to Simon's style, should be the two-time Grand Slam winner and former world No. 1 "Australian Hare" Hewitt—

The cricket that lacks offense relies on tenacious defense to create opportunities; footsteps cover the entire field, anticipation ability and defensive touch are second to none, and basically any offense can complete a perfect package. Not only can it defend the ball, but it can also pass high-quality The defense forces the opponent into a difficult situation.

Either, being suppressed by Simon's defense; or, trying to break through Simon's defense and requiring a higher weight offense, aiming at corners and corners and making mistakes.

This kind of Simon is definitely not comparable to Saramento, who relies on patience to force opponents to make mistakes, so watching Simon's game is a kind of torment. The audience is passive, but he does not lose the ball. It is a round of ten or twenty beats, which can be called "the king of the grinding king".

Moreover, the quality of Simon's rounds is far inferior to the offensive and defensive transitions between the Big Four and the startling long-shot rounds. It is purely defensive and then defensive until the opponent collapses.

Although Simon failed to reach Hewitt's height, after all, the times are different. Hewitt occupied the world's No. 1 throne for a long time before Federer's mercury-filled offensive tennis came out, while Simon's career highest ranking was only sixth. , and the Grand Slam has never been able to break through.

But no one can deny Simon's excellence.

In 2008, Simon rose strongly, entered the top ten in the world ranking for the first time, and entered the year-end finals as a substitute. able to enter the finals.

At the beginning of 2010, he missed most of the season due to injury, and then entered a long recovery period. Until this year, he fully recovered. The first three Grand Slams all entered the third round, and the US Open even entered the fourth round. Tied with the highest personal Grand Slam result—

In 2009, he reached the quarterfinals at the Australian Open.

If someone rolls their eyes because of Simon's style of play, then Simon's score can easily complete the face-

The record against the Big Four is 1 win and 8 losses against Nadal, 1 win and 11 losses against Djokovic, 2 wins and 16 losses against Murray, and 2 wins and 7 losses against Federer.

That said, he's one of the rare players to have victories against all of the Big Four, a feat that is an achievement in itself, despite the limited number of victories.

What's more, against other masters, Simon's record is also very impressive.

Three wins and four losses against Wawrinka, three wins and five losses against Del Potro, six wins and one loss against Cilic, seven wins and two losses against Monfils, five wins and four losses against Dimitrov.

In addition, ~lightnovelpub.net~ won all three games against Medvedev and all four games against Hewitt.

It can be seen that Simon has a special way of dealing with powerful players; and these players are not NCAA college students who are impatient. Simon's ability to use strength and predict offense is indeed at its peak.

Before the match, Gao Wen had already prepared for a hard fight. Facing Simon, any duel would not be easy. Most of the time, it would be a fierce battle. From mental to physical to willpower, everything was a test.

However, the actual situation is beyond imagination.

This time in Shanghai, Simon came back in a strong state, not only defeated Wawrinka in the second round, but also sent a donut to Ji Lopez in the first round and Berdych in the third round. The whole performance can be clearly seen Seeing the touch of the peak period, reaching the semi-finals relies on absolute strength.

Prior to this, Simon's best results in the Masters were the three semi-finals in Montreal, Paris and Monte Carlo. This time in Shanghai, he also hopes to reach the finals of the Masters for the first time in his career. Gao Wen, who has just emerged, is obviously the best chance for Simon.

Simon, come prepared!
