Match Point

Chapter 906: fully prepared

Chapter 907

boom! first.

boom! one time.

The entire Rod Laver Stadium was silent, and everyone held their breath, staring at the tennis ball flying back and forth on the court.

The bottom line round has reached the twenty-fifth shot, but the winner is still not determined, and it is another long round of multi-shot see-saw.

As expected before the game, this is a very difficult, very close and very difficult game.

Both Gao Wen and Murray have shown a good competitive state, especially the ability to switch offense and defense from the baseline. They are extremely passive and extremely dangerous. They can often turn the situation around with a high-quality shot. This also shows that today's The core of the top level of men's tennis -

Only relying on offense or defense, relying only on one skill, can indeed occupy a place, but if you want to break the blockade of the Big Four, then the ability to switch between offense and defense is the key, especially in the five-set three-win system like the Grand Slam Even more so in games.

At least, technically, the psychological aspect is another story.

This is also the progressive development direction of professional tennis in the era of the Big Four.

For a long time, the match between Federer and Nadal was generally considered to be a "war of contradictions", with the ultimate offense and the ultimate defense.

But with the rise of Djokovic and Murray, Federer and Nadal are also constantly improving and improving, gradually polishing their own shortcomings, step by step, and the comprehensiveness and fluency of the bottom line. A level, and finally developed to the present appearance.

Watching the game of the Big Four, the timing of the transition between offense and defense, the way of hitting the ball, the grasp of opportunities, etc., are all the top of the top.

Murray, obviously, is no exception.

As Dimitrov said, Murray has indeed completely recovered from his injuries. Compared with Valencia last year, the thickness and texture of the entire defensive return have been significantly improved.

Naturally, this also puts pressure on Gao Wen on both ends of the offense and defense, including the tactical layout that also needs to take this variable into consideration.

Murray's shots often seem staggering, without Djokovic's calmness, Nadal's thickness, and Federer's inspiration. They seem to have no characteristics, so that ordinary audiences can't understand and understand such Why can a mediocre shot score.

Especially in defensive batting, Murray's figure running all over the court and his center of gravity out of balance is basically the norm.

But in reality, it's definitely not that simple.

Murray's defensive shots often have a plan or purpose. Even if it is an extremely passive conditioned reflex shot, he also completes the idea during the movement or the moment of hitting the ball, and then completes it for his subsequent shots. Pave the way and look for opportunities to reverse the situation.

He has always had his own unique inspiration when it comes to how to hit the ball, the line of the shot, and the shot selection to limit the opponent's continuous attack.

To put it simply, he knows how to make his opponent uncomfortable, and his seemingly ordinary shots can often increase the difficulty of his opponent's handling.

Of course, players are ordinary people, and not every layout, every plan, and every shot can move freely. It is precisely because of this that Murray's frustration in the game often does not come from the opponent playing too much. Well, but his own plan was not able to be accurately implemented.

What's more, tennis is a confrontational sport of interaction, confrontation, and game. The opponent is always an indispensable and crucial part of the game; then, the opponent's response, thinking, inspiration, style, etc. must also become A variable factor that can never be determined.

Murray is good at layout.

Gao Wen is good at breaking the game.

At the same time, both Murray and Gao Wen are good at finding fighters, adjusting tactics, and turning the situation around in a chaotic situation.

The only difference is that Gao Wen's aggressiveness is more prominent, and he is more daring to make shots and take risks at critical moments, daring to break the balance.

However, "risk" is a variable that fluctuates all the time but cannot be accurately estimated. The greater the risk, the greater the benefits and risks.

It can be foreseen from the pre-match analysis that the anxiety of this game.

In fact, the same is true.

Both players are fully prepared for this game. Murray knows Gao Wen's impact, and Gao Wen knows Murray's control. The game of back and forth should run through the whole game—

If you want to rely on a set of tactics to win the game, whether it is Murray or Gao Wen, it is impossible, they must adapt to the situation.

In the first set, "7:6 (9, Gao Wen won.

In the game, from the first game and the first point, you can deeply feel the desire of the two players for victory and the desire for the game. They are absolutely full of motivation.

Throughout the first set, the two players had very firm control over their serve, and there were not many break points, and it was difficult to cash in:

Gao Wen: 0/1

Murray: 0/3

In the first set, the two players added up to a total of four break points, and the break success rate was 0%, neither of them was able to seize the opportunity.

Then, it was a stalemate all the way to the tiebreaker.

After entering the tiebreaker, the balance still could not be broken. After Gao Wen took the lead in completing a mini-break, Murray immediately made a counter-break. The gap between the two sides was still not widened, and they exchanged venues three times in a stalemate.

"9:9".

The two players staged a good show of holding each other's count and saving each other's count, but neither of them was able to win.

In the end, Gao Wen, who dared to make a move, scored the winning point with a straight forehand in the third set, taking advantage of the trend to win the first set.

The audience is restless.

No one expected that Gao Wen's performance in this year's Australian Open without losing a set is still going on! At the critical moment, show your big heart again!

In the first set alone, they were entangled for seventy-four minutes.

It is precisely because of this that, entering the second set, both players experienced fluctuations in physical strength, and their control over the serve game was obviously weak.

On his fifth break point, Murray finally broke Gao Wen's serve first and took the lead.

Gao Wen, showing high efficiency, seized the opportunity on his second break point and returned to balance in the second set.

The stalemate of you coming and going is still going on.

Just like the point in front of you.

Thirty-two beats!

The stalemate lasted until 32 shots. Murray defended Gao Wen's forehand in a straight line, and backhanded with both hands in an extremely passive defensive state.

Oops!

Gao Wen's prediction was a slash.

The footsteps that were moving laterally to the left suddenly stopped and turned around to save the ball, but just as the footsteps hit the ground, it was obvious that the knee lacked strength.

When the physical strength declines, the footsteps of emergency braking and emergency starting often cannot keep up with the strength, and the pedaling cannot be done, and then the hitting is affected.

Gao Wen's forehand swing did not keep up with the strength, and he saved the ball, but before he touched the ball, he realized that Murray's shot was very smart, and he deliberately chose to reduce the force and hit lightly, which caused Gao Wen to fail to catch the ball. The method used strength to fight, and the arm tried to swing up at a faster speed, but there was no time.

then-

J.

Murray, score.

And with this point, the victory of the second set has also been decided, which belongs to Murray.

"6:7(5.

Another tiebreaker.
