Chapter 661

Snapped. Snapped.

On the opposite side of the field, Querrey was hitting the ball. He lifted his chin slightly, judged the position of Gawain from the corner of his gaze, and then dropped the ball.

Pedal, swing, hit the ball.

The speed is 209 kilometers per hour.

The first shot, like a bullet from the chamber, rushed past, showing the true qualities of Querrey's serving cannon. Even in the face of the match point, the serving link is still the link that Querrey is most confident in. At this moment, Fought a serve with all his might—

Sure enough, it worked!

However, the landing point is a little more conservative, and the angle is not completely widened. It can still be seen that Querrey's serving state is not at its best.

The first area, the outer corner, tried to pull Gao Wen out of the field, and even formed an ACE directly, but because the flight line was not torn apart, the tactical intention was not implemented.

Then, you can see Gawain take a large horizontal stride, his body fully stretched and fluttering away, facing such an excellent shot, he slapped it with his forehand in a position of fishing for the moon.

Chance!

Querrey moved towards his left side in small steps, staring at the tennis ball, watching the offensive opportunities he created by serving:

The return ball landed near the center of the court, slightly on the backhand position. Although the landing point was very deep, half a step away from the bottom line, the rotation and power were not controlled. This is the opportunity for Querrey to attack directly. .

Small steps, continuous small steps.

Querrey's backhand is still relatively weak. At this time, Gao Wen's return serve has no ball speed, so he simply moved laterally to complete the position change——

Sideways forehand.

From knee bending to straightening, the strength is fully released, the whole person soars into the air, volleys the ball, and directly covers the tennis ball from top to bottom.

boom!

Accompanied by the solid and crisp sound of hitting the ball, the power of the forehand was completely thrown out, and the tennis ball turned into a long streamline, dragging its long tail along the direction of the backslash, aiming at Gao Wen's backhand and hammering at the dead end of the bottom line. All the energy and power burst out, and there was a kind of emptiness after release.

However, Querrey immediately caught the blue figure running fast and full speed on the opposite side of the field, like a streamer, across the field.

In my mind, alarm bells were ringing.

Querrey immediately realized the danger, and his shot was still a bit conservative. He aimed at the dead corner and hit the ball but the shot felt average. He was worried about the risk of going out of bounds, so he still left a certain amount of room. As a result, the actual situation was different from the imagined situation. Slight deviation:

The "room" is a bit too big.

There is still a big step away from the sideline, and a half step away from the bottom line, which also means that there is room for Gao Wen to defend and counterattack.

So, how will Gao Wen return the ball?

slash? straight line?

In a split second, Querrey had already moved towards his backhand position, and just as he took his footsteps, Gao Wen's return ball had already hit him.

You guessed it!

However, the return line was not completely drawn, and it was almost aimed at Querrey's moving position and hit, squeezing the swing space through the speed and rotation of the ball.

Querrey's response was a little flustered, and he backhanded the shot with both hands in a hurry, without any control at all, and just transitioned back to a diagonal line.

Immediately afterwards, Querrey adjusted his body's center of gravity in small steps, and saw that Gao Wen reversed the awkward situation, waited early in the backhand position, completed the adjustment calmly, and had enough time to complete the shot, which immediately made Querrey even more panicked. , Subconsciously, the footsteps have already moved to the right.

straight line.

Backhand in a straight line, this is definitely Gao Wen's sharpest and best shot, and it is particularly threatening to Querrey, because in today's game, Gao Wen always used the backhand to suppress Querrey's backhand, limiting Querrey opens up the opportunity to attack with the forehand, and then waits for the opportunity to attack the forehand.

Repeatedly succeeded.

Querrey moved sideways to the right almost reflexively, and then he saw that Gao Wen took a step forward, the whole forward movement was very obvious, the head speed of the backhand with both hands suddenly increased, and the whole swing movement Just like a home run in a baseball game, it is round and smooth.

Spins, leaps, giant swings.

The body, like a proudly blooming flower petal, bloomed on the azure court.

boom!

Tennis, disappearing into thin air.

Querrey was slightly taken aback.

boom!

The sound of the audience raising their arms and shouting swept over, and the entire stadium was shaking, and then Querrey realized that,

slash.

Gao Wen rushed up and hit a slash, returning the ball.

Querrey ran in the completely wrong direction, didn't have any chances, and watched the tennis ball drill into a gap, the unquestionable winner.

Querrey, a little weak.

Immediately afterwards, you can hear the sound of the referee broadcasting the final score.

The game is over.

"6:2", "6:2".

Straight sets.

And a very disparate and very easy score.

From the first point of the game when the serve was received and the ACE, to the end of the last point when the defensive counterattack took control of the situation, the initiative was firmly in the hands of Gao Wen.

Querrey has never been able to find a way to open the situation. His serve was out of shape, his backhand was restrained, and his forehand power declined. After resisting for only 53 minutes, he handed over the victory.

During the wild run, Querrey drooped his shoulders in frustration, then stood on the edge of the court, and let out a long breath:

His season is over.

Gathering his mood a little, Querrey raised his head again, and he could see Gawain walking towards the center of the court at a glance.

Gao Wen didn't celebrate wildly, but just clenched his fist in the direction of the player's box, and with a slight smile on his lips, he trotted all the way towards the net.

It's not pride or arrogance, but... self-confidence, exuding a kind of firmness from the inside out, the determination to move forward step by step towards the established goal, and you can feel the surging and burning belief without words.

Querrey had a feeling that Gawain had been on the tour for many, many years, and he didn't know whether Gawain would be able to make it to this year's year-end finals, after all, the conditions were too harsh; but he somehow realized that, Maybe Gao Wen is really different from other rising post-90s.

Then, think back to today's game.

Suddenly ~lightnovelpub.net~ Querrey rekindled his confidence:

In the young man, he once again felt the vigor and vitality, and the love for tennis overflowed like this, and he couldn't help but think of himself.

Perhaps, injuries are indeed painful, but his career should not end like this.

Looking at Gao Wen with his head held high, Querrey's mind also became active.

"...coming to Paris, Gawain continued his upward recovery in Valencia."

"Facing Querrey, Gawain was bloodless in this match. This should be the most comfortable match that Gawain has performed in the whole month."

"Of course, a large part of the reason is that Querrey's own state is sluggish. There were only three ACEs in the game. It is foreseeable that Querrey lost control of the game; but Gao Wen still showed a good competitive state. Playing lightly, obviously not affected by the pressure of the year-end finals berth."

"It's a good start."

"In the next round, Gao Wen will face his direct competitor in the year-end finals, the fifth seed, Berdych. This match is obviously full of highlights..."
