Match Point

Chapter 2138: Turn the tide

Latest website: The most vulnerable time in a tennis match is when you are leading. Even if a match point occurs, anything is possible. This is a famous saying from Mr. Rod Laver, and it has been verified countless times in actual matches. —

The Big Four have saved match points to win more than once, and the matches between the Big Four have more than once changed the situation between match points to reverse the outcome.

Including Gawain himself is no exception.

Gawain let out a long breath. He thought he would not be nervous, but in fact, a mixture of nervousness and excitement still surged over him.

Dreams are just around the corner.

It’s not just a victory and a championship, it’s also the honor of being number one in the world—

The highest honor that I once only dared to secretly fantasize about in my dreams, the ultimate goal that I only dared to half-joke to hide my sincerity, the lofty position that I once thought was out of reach and I didn't dare to dream about it and constantly warned myself to be down-to-earth, is now right in front of me, just one step away. Far away, within reach.

It turns out that dreams can really come true, as long as you dare to think and act.

When everything became clear before my eyes, when I could already feel the touch of the trophy on my fingertips, my emotions still surged uncontrollably.

There was a layer of hot sweat on the palms of my hands.

Subconsciously, Gawain tightened his grip on the racket, focused on adjusting his breathing, and cut off the thoughts in his mind. At this moment, it was most taboo to let his mind wander.

He needs to focus.

Otherwise, if you don't pay attention, the two break points will pass in the blink of an eye.

a district.

Bend your knees, bend over, and focus.

His eyes were firmly locked on Federer's movements, like a cheetah hiding in the jungle, his pupils carefully capturing the movements of his prey.

Start, instant.

Gawain had already rushed towards the backhand position -

inner angle.

Kick on the ground, turn sideways, fly.

Gao Wen's heart suddenly shrank, and he immediately realized the excellence of Federer's serve. It was completely flat, and his speed and power increased instantly.

Therefore, Gao Wen has changed from a two-handed backhand to a one-handed backhand, stretching out with all his strength, just hoping to complete the ball.

However.

Half a beat slower.

It serves the inside corner at a speed of 212 kilometers per hour and accurately presses the T-point for a perfect inside corner.

ACE!

Federer gave Gawain no chance.

ah!

Federer clenched his fists and roared. He needed such a crisp score, and also needed such a state at the critical moment to boost his low morale.

So, he found it. In the predicament of declining physical fitness, ACE, who had not been seen for a long time, returned to the world and took control of the situation immediately.

Moreover, the speed exceeded 210 kilometers per hour. Sure enough, Federer was still the same Federer.

"30:40".

The first match point, redeemed.

Gawain, expressionless, did not feel too sorry, because he knew that Federer had such ability and there was not much he could do.

However, Gawain still looked down at his legs—

Because of the tension, the muscles were slightly tight, and the force of the push just now was not enough.

Of course, even if he stepped on it, he still couldn't catch the serve just now. Federer's serve was indeed impeccable; but Gao Wen needed to remind himself that his reaction speed would decrease due to distraction caused by excitement, nervousness or other emotions. , then the situation may not be good.

He needs to be vigilant.

Look, Federer has already demonstrated his ability. Even if it is a match point, Federer can completely prevent Gawain from touching the ball.

Therefore, match point does not mean anything, everything still needs to be down-to-earth and start from scratch.

Second District.

In a short period of time, Gawain stabilized slightly and his eyes were locked on Federer again.

Federer did not hesitate and maintained his usual rhythm even when faced with match points—

One shot.

"Out of bounds!"

It's a pity that this outside corner with a speed of 205 kilometers per hour will go out of bounds.

Federer glanced at the landing point, confirmed that it was out of bounds, and then prepared for his second serve.

Now, Gao Wen has the opportunity to receive the second serve.

So, Gao Wen moved a little half step forward and advanced his receiving position. He had used this tactic in the first set and achieved good results. Now at the match point, Gao Wen once again showed his boldness and courage. courage.

Second serve.

Close pressure backhand.

In a sense, Federer still aimed at Gawain's backhand position, but because it was the second serve, he adjusted his strategy and adapted it according to Gawain's position, increasing friction and topspin, and the tennis ball bounced high.

Gawain did not retreat.

Not only did it not happen, but it continued to move forward—

Taking what he learned from Federer now, although Gao Wen was not prepared to adopt the "SABR" tactic, he was also prepared to steal a second serve.

What if it fails?

Then it fails.

Gawain knew that this was a match point, but he could not hesitate and restrain his hands just because of the match point, otherwise he knew that he would not be able to win the game.

Take risks, step up.

Gao Wen immediately felt the tennis ball coming towards him, and the hitting position was slightly higher than expected, but these conditions were all within the scope of Gao Wen's expectations.

He didn't hesitate.

Backhand with both hands, follow the forward posture of the body, and push gently.

This time, not the slash.

Instead, you use your wrist to control the racket surface. You don't need to change the line yourself. You can use the upward step to push the tennis ball straight back.

Straight line, crushing Federer's forehand.

At the match point, Gawain and Federer's calculations still did not stop. Both of them tried to break the rules and seize the advantage in the regular routine.

However, Gawain realized Federer's determination as soon as he took action.

Serve to the net.

Federer actually chose to serve and hit the net, and it was his second serve on match point.

Bold?

It's not just bold, it's downright crazy.

Even Federer rarely chooses to hit the net on his second serve, let alone on match point?

But precisely because of this accident and suddenness, Federer quickly overturned the situation, seized the opportunity in the close encounter, and firmly grasped the initiative.

Gao Wen had already shot the ball, trying to break through Federer's forehand position. However, Federer was obviously prepared. He noticed Gao Wen's return attempt to push deeper, so he moved while extending, and before the tennis ball hit the ground, it was in the tennis ball. On the falling curve, he completed an airborne volley.

A super, super difficult one-shot volley.

Federer, however, was half a step away from his right foot, relying on his superb hand control with his forehand to push the tennis ball, press the parabola, and push back towards the deep area of ​​Gawain's backhand, pushing Gawain to the ground in one fell swoop. An awkward position.

This time~www.wuxiahere.com~ feels uncomfortable—

Gao Wen can choose to go online or stand still, but whether it is a volley or a bounce ball, it is more difficult than Federer's shot.

Gawain can also choose to retreat, but not only will he lose his initiative and fall into passivity, but if he retreats a little slower, his hitting will be wrong.

Federer's courage and determination on match point were impressive.

Gawain had no time to hesitate or adjust.

He retreated neatly, continuously retreated, and quickly opened up space. While his body retreated, his backhand hands were already pushed forward in the opposite direction.

The strength of the upper body and lower body formed a misalignment, but Gawain did not hesitate, and in a flash of lightning, he still completed a very difficult shot -

Slash, break the net, cross.

Use force.
