Chapter 939: Bold but cautious

Chapter 940 Bold and Careful

Hoo hoo.

The entire Rod Laver Stadium was surging like a volcano waiting to erupt. Gawain's footsteps were staggering steps on high-altitude steel wire ropes. The raging winds from all directions made the entire world feel Then shake up.

at stake.

Life hangs by a thread.

However, Gao Wen was very focused and dedicated, with no other distractions or distractions, and all his attention was on tennis, the court and Djokovic.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced lightly and noticed Djokovic's position, and the next second—

Backhand with both hands, turn a little, change the way of grip, and change the ball into a slice.

bass.

Chop down hard with both hands!

The delicate handling of the wrist increases enough friction, and Djokovic's flick does not have much strength, which also makes Gao Wen's handling easier.

Whizzing.

Whizzing!

The tennis ball spun at a high speed and flew straight along the left sideline, like a dancing Peter Pan, with a small arc upward.

Rip the pitch.

The whole audience stared with bated breath, dumbfounded—

small ball?

It turned out to be a small ball!

Facing the break point, Gao Wen had already set up an attacking stance of opening and closing, but he changed the way of hitting the ball the moment he was about to make a shot, and cut a small shot.

"ah!"

Djokovic missed the ground a little in the second start of the stop-and-spin—a sprained ankle at the start of the second set still haunted him so much that he slipped a bit—and then watched the ball go over the ball. net.

Lightness.

exquisite.

It's perfect.

After crossing the net, it was almost straight up and down. After landing, I couldn't feel the strength. The rebound height was limited, and it landed for the second time in a blink of an eye.

Incomparable!

Even if Djokovic started in time, he could not catch up.

What's more, Djokovic was indeed deceived by Gao Wen's feint.

"15:40".

Huh!

There was a surge of exclamation at the Rod Laver Stadium. They couldn't believe their eyes, and even the hearts of Huaxia fans were about to burst.

"pretty!"

"Beautiful is really beautiful! Faced with three consecutive break points, Gao Wen was fearless, bold and careful, and easily resolved the first break point with a straight shot."

"Djokovic was completely overwhelmed. He didn't predict the appearance of this small ball. His feet were nailed in place, and he watched the ball return to complete two jumps."

"Wow. The air in Rod Laver Stadium seems to be stagnant right now. I can't breathe."

"However, Gao Wen still focused on the competition."

Zhang Sheng, sitting in the commentary seat above the court, it is actually very difficult to see the expressions of the players on the court, the players are only the size of a palm.

However, at this moment, he seemed to be able to see Gao Wen's eyes:

Just after releasing a wonderful ball, Gao Wen raised his head and looked towards his player box. He didn't cheer or shout, but just clenched his fists heavily, and a force burst out from his resolute and determined eyes. The murderous aura emanates a powerful aura from the inside out.

Uncontrollably, Zhang Sheng's heart also contracted.

Immediately after—

"pretty!"

"Under pressure, Gao Wen's backhand withstood two shots in a row, but instead used a forehand in a straight line to squeeze Djokovic's backhand, so that Djokovic rarely appeared on the backhand An unforced error out of bounds."

"Djokovic shook his head, not happy with his backhand."

"Now, for Gao Wen, the danger is still not over. He still needs to save another break point to prevent the score from being stretched in the third set."

pressure.

The pressure pervading the air has even turned into substantial oppression, squeezing the heart fiercely, but Gawain still withstood the pressure.

Zhang Sheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously, feeling a little parched.

"30:40".

"Come on, Novak!"

"Come on, Noel!"

"Djokovic, you are the champion!"

Rod Laver Stadium is very noisy and restless, whether it is Australian fans or Serbian fans, they can't bear it.

The advantage, the victory, and the championship seem to be close at hand and within reach, but they have already lost two break points in a blink of an eye, and they are inevitably impatient.

The atmosphere became more and more tense.

Second District.

Beep!

Send it off the net.

Zhang Sheng also felt helpless and bitter.

"In the third set, Gao Wen's serve has improved a lot. So far, he hasn't had a double fault, but his first serve is still sporadic. This also puts him under tremendous pressure."

Second serve.

Gao Wen still chose the same routine, getting close in the middle, and then pressing as deep as possible, using a strong topspin to increase the height of the rebound.

Djokovic is not afraid of such a serve, but it also means that it is also difficult for him to suppress Gao Wen by returning the serve.

Djokovic asked for a straight deep ball return.

It's a pity that the speed is not enough, and it is also a topspin ball. After being hit by Gao Wen's forehand with a sweeping skateboard, he immediately attacked directly.

But Djokovic predicted it right, defended easily, pocketed the tennis ball again, and—

Round the ball, forming a stalemate again.

In the round just now, Gao Wen saved two consecutive break points. After in-depth analysis, all rounds were under five shots, and the tug-of-war was not deadlocked.

It's not that Gao Wen is afraid of long rounds of multi-shot tug-of-war, but that Djokovic can often gradually build up advantages in long rounds of tug-of-war, especially since Gao Wen's backhand is not in good condition today. The defensive quality of the backhand declines, and the disadvantages will gradually accumulate.

Relatively speaking, in short-round assaults, Gao Wen's advantages in offensive speed and strength can be brought into play, and it will be easier to score.

This point is actually the key to playing against Djokovic, including Wawrinka, Federer, Nadal and other players, all of them are like this. It is estimated that there is only Murray as a special case. He likes to play with Djokovic. The bottom line seesaws back and forth.

Therefore, Gao Wen's attack needs to be more decisive, otherwise, once Djokovic shoots left and right and keeps returning the ball, the situation will become more and more difficult.

One straight forehand, one diagonal forehand, one diagonal backhand...

With three consecutive shots, Gao Wen continued to launch surprise attacks.

However, Djokovic's defense tonight did show a superb level, not only accurate prediction ~lightnovelpub.net~ but also the quality of defensive return is very good.

A split to save the ball, Djokovic actually pressed the return ball on the baseline on Gawain's side again, so that Gawain's pressing advantage was completely resolved, the forehand was squeezed, and the swing was incomplete , Reluctantly returned a shot of the ball, and then the parabola of the return ball lost control and rose high.

Oops!

The familiar pattern reappears:

Gao Wen, as the offensive side, was unable to attack for a long time, and then Djokovic immediately launched a defensive counterattack, only needing to hit the ball to reverse the situation.

That's always been the case in Djokovic's games, and tonight was no exception, and here, on the third break point, Djokovic created another chance.

Tennis balls, high and shallow, light and buoyant, literally scream at Djokovic:

attack! attack! attack!

At this time, Djokovic's backhand with both hands has also been raised high, so, which side is it?

straight line? slash? Middle?

The familiar situation reappeared, and this time it was Djokovic who took the offensive initiative.
