Match point

"Ugh!"

Gao Wen's body has been stretched to the extreme, and he is about to touch the ball. This is a return without any guarantee. Even Gao Wen himself is not sure whether he can return to the field.

This also meant that Gao Wen completely lost all his advantages.

but!

Gawain did not give up, to be precise, Gawain was still fighting.

Stop and turn quickly.

The strength of the calf exploded completely, the body stepped on the spring, and in a blink of an eye he had returned to the field, regained his defensive position, and fixed his eyes on Zverev Jr.

Apparently, Zverev Jr. was a little bit surprised. He never thought that such an extreme serve would be caught back by Gawain inexplicably.

But Zverev Jr. did not lose his mind, his attention was still concentrated, his footsteps paused a little, and then he entered the bottom line and went to the midfield.

Although a little slower, but because the serving advantage is too obvious, the impact of this pause is negligible, and Zverev Jr. is still in place smoothly.

As mentioned before, Zverev Jr. has solid baseline skills and his two-handed backhand is top-notch.

Purely from a technical point of view, Zverev's baseline skills and two-handed backhand are the heirs of Djokovic, and after he really matures, he can even suppress Djokovic. The reason why Zverev Jr. was able to defeat the Big Four on the stage of the Masters.

Zverev Jr.'s backhand is not only solid, but also sharp. It can defend and attack, can withstand power and spin, and has both strength and speed.

After Djokovic, Zverev Jr. and Medvedev Jr. are known as the world's strongest two-handed backhand, and Zverev Jr. is even slightly better.

Therefore, Zverev Jr. has an advantage when moving, because he can handle all shots with both forehand and backhand, which also means that he does not need to adjust his footsteps to switch to the forehand to complete the shot, which not only saves time And physical strength, and the tactical layout can also seize the opportunity.

Just like now.

After serving, Zverev Jr. followed the trend of his serving and rushed forward in a straight line, and he could see Gawain's return ball flying towards him——

Landed on the backhand.

Zverev Jr. was not afraid at all, he didn't need to evade, and faced him head-on, because his footsteps continued to move forward, which caused Gawain's return ball to be slightly squeezed into the swing space, and his position was only about half a step away. Space, the most direct impact is that the swing cannot be done completely.

At the same time, the hitting point is also very low. Although it is not a bouncing ball, it is not far away.

However, Zverev Jr. didn't care.

With a height of 198 centimeters, when dealing with backspin and rebound balls, there is no cumbersomeness at all——

Bend the knees, sink the center of gravity, quickly roll the tape with both hands backhand, finish hitting the ball near your knees, pick it up lightly, and swing it out.

boom!
The tennis ball, like a shooting star, was fast and anxious, rushing towards Gao Wen's back along the diagonal direction.

A return ball that repeats the landing.

Senior ball!
I have to say that Zverev's handling of this ball was very advanced and excellent. In the narrow swing space, the head speed of the backhand was completely increased. Originally, Gao Wen's return was slow. Just increase the speed and strength again, and attack continuously. …

Gao Wen, very embarrassed, very very embarrassed.

Only two seconds ago, he stopped and turned sharply to regain his defensive position.

Immediately afterwards, he needs to make a second sudden stop and turn, start the second time, and sprint towards the backhand position again.

Tatata!
Tatata!
The connection of long strides and small steps, the footsteps are dazzling, the speed and rhythm have been raised to the extreme, but——

too late.

It was still too late.

Zverev Jr.'s two-handed backhand is really excellent, completely resolving Gawain's strong backspin, turning into a flat attack, fully releasing his strength and speed.

Gao Wen's speed has been increased to the extreme, but his footsteps are still too late.

How to do?
Give up?
impossible!

One kicks the ground, one slides, and flies sideways.

With Ling Bo's micro-step shifting, Gao Wen's back was already facing the court, his arms stretched out like a roc spreading its wings, and he used a one-handed backhand for the second time in a row, extending his body to the extreme and trying to touch the ball.

Squeak!

The friction between the soles of his feet and the court produced sparks, but Gawain's body could be seen sliding out completely, and then——

touched.

At the position near the shoulder, the one-handed backhand successfully appeared on the flight trajectory of the tennis ball.

Lightly, softly, delicately, gently... Wrap the wrist lightly, as if candy is thrown into the icing, carefully wrapping all the corners and corners.

"what!"

At this moment, Gao Wen had no time to observe his return line. He supported the ground with his racket, completed the braking action, and then turned around at [-] degrees. The strength of his calf was fully released, and his body was already sprinting out again, like an arrow leaving the string. .

Start three times!

kick the ground!

freed!

Sprint!

Gao Wen ran at full speed, and the soles of his feet seemed to be able to clearly feel the sparks burning on the ground, and the strong wind swept all the colorful colors of the audience into it.

A mass of light spread out mightily.

Now, Gao Wen finally had time to turn his head to look at the court, looking for the trajectory of his return——

found it!
The slow and floating return ball landed near the bottom line of the service area on the right side of Zverev Jr., without depth or angle, a standard midfielder.

Zverev Jr. has enough time to adjust his feet, find the hitting point, find the hitting line, and then complete the offense.

It's just a stroll.

Gao Wen is completely passive, so how will Zverev Jr. choose his offense?
Straight back the ball?Or slash big diagonal?
In stark contrast to the strong and stable backhand of Zverev Jr., his forehand is incoherent and unstable, and he often makes inexplicable mistakes.

Of course, Zverev Jr.'s forehand also has strength and speed, and there is no problem in attacking at all. However, the more critical the moment and the more pressure he faces, the easier it is for his forehand to make mistakes.

Naturally, the more critical the score, the easier it is for Zverev Jr. to keep his forehand. This is a vicious circle.

Gao Wen's footsteps did not stop.

If he had to gamble on one side, he guessed that Zverev Jr. would choose a diagonal line because the risk of hitting the ball is low, and because Zverev Jr. has enough advantages in this round, the slash line is enough.

Ding Ding Deng!
Gao Wen ran at full speed, like a blue wind, across the audience.

In the blink of an eye, Zverev Jr. did not observe Gao Wen's position, because he chose to connect quickly, using the speed of the ball to compress the rhythm of the round, and win quickly——

UI.

As long as Zverev Jr. returns the ball fast enough, no matter how fast Gao Wen's speed is, he can't catch up with the flying speed of tennis balls. It's as simple as that.

Therefore, Zverev Jr. quickly adjusted his footsteps, and with his footsteps retreated slightly and his center of gravity was relatively unstable, he swung his forehand quickly and attacked.

boom!
strength!

speed!

Rhythm!

The entire connection of Zverev Jr. has been completely improved, and it can be easily judged from the moment of the shot that he is rushing for the winning point.

After hitting the ball, Zverev Jr. raised his eyes along the tennis ball and looked over. Then, his heart suddenly contracted——

Gao Wen, why did that guy appear there?

Slash!

Zverev Jr. chose the slash.
