Chapter 702: so-called intensity

Latest URL: "Beautiful!"

In the player's box, Sampras stood up with clenched fists, screaming passionately, and the bulging veins on his neck showed the turbulent emotions:

Not only because Gao Wen saved five match points to win the second set, but also because his judgment was proved to be correct.

To the average fan, Djokovic's performance in the closing stages of the second set was outrageous, and he ruined the whole game with a mistake.

How can it be?

But Sampras knew that the last mistake was a microcosm of Gao Wen's unremitting pressure after two games.

It has to be said that facing today's game, Djokovic is indeed fully prepared, and the state of Paris is obviously stronger than that of New York.

The key is that after Djokovic has been out for a period of time, his body is still not ready for such a level of fighting intensity.

On the one hand, it was Gao Wen's own outstanding performance, especially when facing the match point, his daring attitude of a young man broke Djokovic's balance.

On the other hand, it was Djokovic's state adjustment. If he was unprepared in serving to win the game, he had already improved his state in the tie-break, but he did not expect that Gao Wen would also improve his state , the intensity of the entire competition has risen to a new level:

The exhaustion of physical strength and spirit is already severe. With the continuous deepening of higher-intensity confrontation, it is slightly insufficient for Djokovic to improve his state.

Mistakes, that's how they came about.

On the surface, Djokovic used an active offensive error to send the second set; but in essence, it was Sampras's subtle pre-match deployment and Gao Wen's continuous efforts that finally "oppressed" Djokovic. Jokovic made such a mistake.

Sampras was very excited:

No matter what time it is, it is always exciting to challenge the strongest players in the world.

If Sampras's prediction is correct, then in the final set, Djokovic will inevitably launch a counterattack, but his state may not be able to keep up, especially after the mental tension reaches the extreme, the consumption of physical and energy is even greater. Severe, once the peak of physical strength appears, the recovery time will be longer.

This also means that as long as Gao Wen can resist Djokovic's crazy counterattack, then he has a chance to win the whole game in one go.

But the premise is that Gao Wen can resist it.

Obviously, Gao Wen, like Djokovic, also needs to face the challenge of declining physical strength and extreme physical fitness.

In terms of adapting to the intensity of the game, Gao Wen, who has been continuously immersed in the game, has a slight advantage; but his physical condition should be almost the same. Moreover, Djokovic has better playing experience in the low physical condition, so the advantage is also It is basically smoothed out, it still depends on the performance.

The final set should not be as good as the first two sets.

really!

As Sampras expected, the quality of the entire shot in the final set slowly declined, not a cliff-like fall, but a slow decline.

Not only did the quality of offense and defense fluctuate in the rounds, but also the accuracy and control of the ball fluctuated. The most direct manifestation was that the number of turnovers began to increase, and this was the case for both players.

The final set begins.

Djokovic took the lead to serve, and Gao Wen seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack. After six equal points, he got three break points, but regrettably missed all of them.

The world's No. 1 thriller, Djokovic roared again, showing his high spirited fighting spirit.

Then, in Gawain's first serve game, Djokovic closely followed Gawain's rhythm with strong control and successfully forced a break point, but also missed.

Gao Wen saved the serve with a signature backhand straight line, and finally regained some disadvantage in the strong backhand duel:

It wasn't because Gao Wen's state had improved, but because Djokovic's state had declined, and the backhand suppression had loosened, giving Gao Wen room to breathe.

valley

A true professional, like Sampras, will be able to notice through this point that the situation of the game is changing further.

The point is that Djokovic will definitely do his best to survive this stage, so can Gao Wen seize the opportunity?

Got it!

In the third game of the deciding set, Gao Wen forced a break point again, and on the second break point, he won with a forehand slash and repeated hits.

For this point, although the winning point was won with a forehand in the end, the opportunity was created by a two-handed backhand. Djokovic's backhand suppression is still stable but lacks some changes and sharpness. It achieved the expected effect, but Gao Wen found a gap.

Intensity is still the key word. Djokovic can't keep up. The performance of the key points is in stark contrast to the first set.

"2:1".

Gao Wen, who served after the final set, took the lead.

Entering the mid-table stage, the game was a bit dull. The mistakes of both players increased significantly, and they had to shift their attention to their own serve games.

After both sides kept their serve for two more games, the match came to an end. Immediately after, Djokovic launched a fierce counterattack in Gawain's serve game, trying to reverse the situation before the game got closer to the cliff.

However, Gao Wen still clenched his teeth, went through two equal points tests and failed to send a break point, successfully securing serve.

"5:3".

Next, Djokovic faced his unavoidable serve.

This time, it was Gao Wen's turn to give it a go without reservation.

"30:30".

The situation is stalemate.

game point? Or match point?

For this point, very, very rarely, Djokovic and Gao Wen started a confrontation in the forehand position.

Both players tried to take the initiative to suppress their opponents, but neither of them was effective in the face of the opponent's excellent defensive ability. The suppression and countermeasures have never been able to break the balance.

Without warning, after ten full rounds of entanglement between the two sides, Djokovic seized an opportunity that was not an opportunity and took the lead in choosing to change the line.

Relying on his strong personal ability, wrapping the tennis ball with his forehand, he flew towards the dead corner within the big triangle on Gao Wen's left baseline.

One detail can be seen, the speed and power of returning the ball are not fast, and the parabola is a bit too full, the main focus is on control~lightnovelpub.net~ It is more to force Gawain to fall into a passive position, and Djokovic will continue to Ending the point with a link attack on the next bat, it also proved again:

Djokovic tried to speed up, but his physical condition did not allow him to improve his condition, so he could only complete the layout within his own ability.

Gawain, run at full speed.

Even though his lungs were burning and his knees were trembling, Gawain still bit his breath and hurried over with his light steps.

With an emergency brake, the body is kicked, and the backhand with both hands has already been shot quickly. The speed of the racket head is instantly increased to the extreme, and it still explodes with incredible strength even under extremely difficult circumstances.

Not only swept the tennis ball back, but also swept a straight shot, piercing the gap behind Djokovic:

The break point and match point appeared again.

This time, the opportunity belongs to Gao Wen.
