"Match Point(

For Huaxia fans, playing against Simon may be Gao Wen's best chance to advance to the final.

But the same is true for Simon.

This year, Simon's performance in the Grand Slam tournaments has slowly recovered, but his performance in the Masters has not improved. So far, in the seven 1000 tournaments, Miami was eliminated in the first round, and the other six events all stopped in the second round. The unified and neat performance is really dumbfounding.

This time, in Shanghai, Simon is in a strong state of recovery. Facing Gao Wen, who has just emerged, he undoubtedly hopes to make further progress.

Obviously, Simon, like Gawain, came prepared—

Watching the previous rounds of matches, he knew that Gao Wen's performance in Shanghai was better than that in the Imperial City. The main reason was to reduce the difficulty of attack, reduce the risk of attack through layout, and thus increase the success rate of attack.

what does that mean?

Gao Wen's offensive sharpness is far inferior to that of the U.S. Open. When he was not in good condition, he played more with his head, with more rounds and more tug-of-war. Defensive proportions have also changed, and it's all about Simon:

Just right, right in the arms!

This is Simon's favorite way to play.

So Simon's game also continued his best style, a "grinding" tactic, which was applied with great proficiency.

In the first game, Gao Wen's attack was blocked repeatedly.

Even if you stay patient and move around slowly, it is still difficult to tear through Simon's defense line. If you don't pay attention, you may be caught off guard by Simon's defensive counterattack; and once Gao Wen tries a trickier angle or a more risky route, he may Troubled by mistakes.

To put it simply, this is not Gao Wen's accustomed playing style.

Facing Saramento at the beginning, Gao Wen opened the situation with layout and offense, but now Gao Wen's hand feeling is still not back to the best state, and the offense has been unable to achieve the effect he expected, relying only on layout and defense. Simon started to play around, which is obviously Simon's favorite rhythm of the game.

Looking at Simon standing on the opposite side of the field, Gao Wen had a new understanding of the word "iron wall". Simon at his peak was indeed a headache.

In the second set, Gao Wen tried to change.

Simon's anticipation of offense and understanding of defense are indeed top-notch existences. His innate talent and experience in many battles make him a bit invincible, so Gao Wen must "break the prejudgment".

It was still Simon's prediction.

Gao Wen tried to make full use of the court, consciously mobilized Simon in the deep area, broke the inertia of Simon's horizontal movement around the baseline, and broke the use of the three-dimensional space of the court by returning the ball, backslashing, and putting small balls, destroying Simon. Prediction, and then interrupt Simon's defensive mode by grabbing the rising point and compressing the rhythm.

This is obviously not a routine that Gao Wen is familiar with. Frequent use of vertical space means more requirements for small **** in front of the net and midfield control.

This is no problem for Gao Wen when he is in good condition; but at this stage, Gao Wen's brain must keep running at a high speed all the time, which puts new demands on energy and mental consumption. Wen has never experienced it.

But at least, a confrontation was formed.

Just now, it was another 25-beat ultra-long tug-of-war. Gao Wen tried several times to end the point with killing shots, but Simon was like a tumbler, wobbling and about to fall, but always able to It was miraculously brought back to life, and finally ended with Gao Wen's forehand straight line slightly out of the bottom line.

Gao Wen, I'm a little sorry.

Just a little short!

However, Gao Wen has no regrets, because he knows that this is the correct way to play, even if he needs to face the match point now.

Match point?

not a problem!

It was not a problem to serve to win the game against Simon twice, and it is also not a problem to face three consecutive match points now. On the contrary, Gao Wen's high-spirited fighting spirit was completely stimulated——

When else can we face such a situation? Just let the drums ring and see what happens.

Snapped. Snapped.

Simon is hitting the ball, and the next two points are his service points.

Qiao Wangsheng had already held his breath completely, letting his heart beat and thunder above the eardrums, and the urge to scream surged deep in his throat, but he controlled it abruptly.

Second district, inner corner.

However, Gao Wen's whole body kicked off the ground and rushed out. His upper body was fully extended. He hit the forehand with the head of the racket and missed the sweet spot. However, the force of his forward wrist pushed the tennis ball back hard. Make a straight line and drill into the bottom line triangle of Simon's backhand position.

A very unexpected line choice, but the return of the ball that did not hit the sweet spot created an unconventional effect. The flight of the whole tennis ball was fast and rushing. However, the suddenness of the line still broke Simon's prediction.

Facing the match point, Gao Wen dared to take a shot from the moment he received the serve.

Simon made an awkward backhand turn with both hands, and his footsteps were obviously squeezed, but his wrist strength still miraculously wrapped the tennis ball and flew back, showing the flexibility of his body to the fullest; Gao Wen's midfield area flew over ~lightnovelpub.net~ a position where he was neither forward nor backward, neither up nor down, both offense and defense could create traps.

Gao Wen went online.

The footsteps were very resolute, and he entered the bottom line immediately after receiving the serve from the previous shot. Even without Simon's return ball scheduling, he could see Gao Wen's tactical intention to break the deadlock and attack the net. His timely footwork connection successfully caught Simon's return ball Line, regained some initiative.

But Simon didn't seem to be surprised at all. He adjusted his footsteps in small steps and made up for his forehand gap. He had predicted that Gao Wen might choose this side to hit the ball, and his high-speed running footsteps had forced him into the midfield in a blink of an eye. .

"Calculations VS Calculations", both players can see flashes of spirituality in offense and defense, but only one side can occupy the commanding heights.

So, who is it!

Gao Wen's backhand with both hands has been set up, and he is ready to hit the ball. It can be seen from the movement of the racket that he is indeed going to push a straight line, which also means that Simon's prediction is correct, and he is moving towards this side quickly. move.

but!

Just when Gao Wen was about to hit the ball, he didn't backhand his hands hard, but pushed forward lightly, very gently and carefully.

Tap!

At such a critical moment, Gao Wen actually chose to hit lightly when his footsteps had moved ahead of time to seize the opportunity!

ah!

Qiao Wangsheng almost exclaimed, but the sound was automatically muted when he opened his mouth. He looked at the court incredulously, and then he could see Gao Wen launch a shallow ball, strictly speaking, it was not a small ball, because the landing point was Near the bottom line of the teeing area, this is a distance that Simon can fully catch up with.

For the iron wall on the other side of the court, the hitting quality of this racket is obviously not enough.

In fact, the same is true!
