Match Point

In fact, this is psychological warfare -

Djokovic knew that Gao Wen was under greater pressure than himself, so he dared to take action.

Gao Wen knew that Djokovic was more anxious than himself, so he slowed down.

You come and go, both players are calculating their opponents, and this time, you can already feel the psychological game and confrontation before taking action.

Therefore, Gao Wen boldly reduced the force and slowed down, caught Djokovic's eagerness to get started and his habitual style of dribbling to increase the package. He chose the inside corner, broke through Djokovic's forehand, and hit the serve. In an instant, a new round of confrontation has begun.

"Oops!"

As soon as Djokovic started, he immediately realized the subtlety of the situation. He had already set off the racket with his forehand early. After all, this was a first serve, and what he was competing for was speed. Then he realized that he might not be able to swing the racket too early. If you find the hitting point accurately and forcefully exert force, the ball may fly away directly.

work hard?

This is not Djokovic's strong suit.

So, what to do?

In the flash of lightning, it was almost an instinctive reaction. Djokovic's forehand swing stopped for a moment, and he deliberately waited for a moment, relying on continuous small step adjustments to control his body. When waiting for the shot, the iconic package pocket The ball has already brought up the strong friction volume.

Perhaps in the eyes of professionals, Djokovic's serve-receiving ability is still inferior to Agassi's, relying more on the advancement of modern technology. In terms of reaction speed and first judgment, Agassi's talent is indeed unrivaled; But no one can deny Djokovic's excellence.

Djokovic is Djokovic after all, and his conditioned hitting not only deftly defuses Gawain's trap, but also improves the quality of his return.

Pull high, push deep.

Wait, from the perspective of the parabola, why does it look familiar? Isn't this... the return tactic that Gao Wen used to limit Djokovic in the second set?

-correct answer.

Treat others in their own way.

Djokovic doesn't just lift the tennis ball. Moreover, pushing the tennis ball deeper, even though it is not fast and powerful, can still achieve the physical effect of squeezing Gaowen's swing space, which also means that Gaowen's plan to connect the attack with the second shot also needs to be adjusted.

Counter.

Passive is passive, but Djokovic has a very clear mind and grasps one important point. Gawain did not choose to serve and hit the net like Federer. He can safely pull up the parabola and push the landing point deeper to form a containment and provide himself with The bottom line adjustment will win valuable breathing time.

Djokovic quickly used small steps to adjust his center of gravity and enter an offensive state.

Gao Wen also used small steps to adjust his center of gravity. Djokovic's intention to return the ball could be seen at a glance, but he was not prepared to compromise.

During the continuous adjustment of his steps, Gawain not only did not retreat, but also took a small step forward, turned his body slightly sideways, and fired a low forehand sideways shot—

ah!

work hard.

Gawain, attack with force.

Turn your body sideways, follow your position, grab an ascending point, and sweep the shot in a straight line. It does not open the angle, but goes straight back. The focus is on connection, that is, speed and rhythm, relying on the ball. The situation formed a confrontation, which shortened Djokovic's time to adjust his focus.

then.

Bang-bang-bang.

Serve. Return the serve. Attack on the second shot.

The two players' three-beat shots were connected more and more closely. The solid shots were neither fancy nor tricky, and the shots hit the wall straight away.

Middle – middle – middle.

Before he had time to breathe, the tennis ball had returned to Djokovic's position, just like a squash ball, and the impact on the entire rhythm was particularly obvious.

Well.

Djokovic groaned. He had been adjusting his steps, but the tennis ball came over too fast. As a result, he could still feel the air waves hitting his face and felt a tightness in his chest; but this shot could not be compromised. Not only could it not , and he still needs to open up the situation, and he doesn't have much time.

At this time, Djokovic showed the momentum of breaking the boat.

When your feet are squeezed and your reaction time is limited, you can strike with your forehand, roll and flick, and hit the ball with a skateboard to complete the transition between offense and defense. On the boundary between offense and defense, you can stand alone. The world's most talented player can open up angles and force the attack.

pretty!

For Djokovic's forehand, he stood in the middle and swept with his skateboard, aiming at the deep sideline of Gawain's forehand, and swept it directly.

The speed, angle, and landing point are really outstanding.

In an instant, the venue was opened.

On the opposite side of the court, Gawain had no choice but to run wildly, taking long strides continuously, his speed bursting out in an instant, and he had reached his position in a flash.

Tap tap tap, tap tap tap—

Speed, fast.

In just a blink of an eye, Gao Wen had already moved from the midpoint of the baseline to the right sideline. In his pupils, he could clearly see the tennis ball being enlarged and enlarged.

So, what to do?

If anyone thinks that Gao Wen will choose to be conservative, or shrink back because of the match point, or hesitate because he is at the crossroads of making history, then he must not have watched Gao Wen's game. Since he first entered the professional arena in New York last year, Gao Wen has There was no hesitation.

Match point, so what?

Gao Wen remained calm and composed, and he immediately noticed that Djokovic was still stuck on the baseline.

Perhaps Djokovic's continuous loss of points in front of the net did not shake his confidence, but don't forget that Djokovic is originally a baseline player. His most confident and comfortable place is at the bottom line. There is nothing special about it. Good opportunity, UU Reading www.uukanｓshu.com Djokovic will naturally not go online easily.

This is an opportunity.

then.

Just do it.

Gao Wen kicked off his right leg, braked suddenly, controlled his body, and swung the ball away with his forehand.

keep?

Not to say conservative, even a bit risky.

The whole swing was crisp and powerful. Without stepping forward and missing the rising point, the forearms started to wave and the wrists quickly flicked the belt.

A whip-swinging motion.

The racket has already hit the tennis ball head-on. Although Djokovic's forehand winding control is precise and the wrapping of the tennis ball is indeed the top ATP existence; but it lacks power and rotation. Simply put, it is the pressure and pressure of the ball quality. Limited impact—

Because of this, many professionals later believed that Djokovic was more of a defensive player, not even a defensive and counterattack player like Nadal.

Of course, this view is controversial and not everyone agrees, but Djokovic's hitting style can still be seen from the side.

At this time, Gawain seized on this characteristic, struck with a forehand, and launched an attack simply and neatly.

If Djokovic is attacking forcefully, then Gawain is taking advantage of the situation.

Forehand, flat shot—

straight line.

boom. Whoosh.

The tennis ball had just hit the racket, and then it made a sound of breaking through the air, flying straight along the sideline, flying at low altitude, and passing by the net.

With this shot, you can tell at a glance that it was aimed at the winning point.

And, this is still not the end.

As soon as the ball was struck, Gao Wen leaned forward along with the swing. As soon as his center of gravity was pressed, he stepped forward continuously, cutting into the baseline and continuing to move forward.

Gawain, online.
