Chapter 1132
"Hey, Gawain!"

"Gawain!"

"Beautiful play!"

One, two, three, four, five... In the VIP seats, everyone high-fived Gao Wen one after another. Looking at Gao Wen sitting on the chair, the atmosphere was full of excitement.

Haha!

The tense air in the stadium loosened slightly. The front was tense because of the stalemate, and then they were nervous because they were worried about Gao Wen's injury. Seeing this scene now, everyone couldn't control it anymore.

Laugh out loud!

Little Zverev: ...

Can he swear?
That guy, who is a clown at all, actually made a big splash in the competition, how decent is he?They're playing, it's official, okay?

Grass.

Zverev Jr. felt insulted, let alone squandering three game points, and was broken in such a way, how did all this happen?
In my mind, thoughts were surging in a mess, but I couldn't sort out the clues for a long time. There was only a mess, all stuffed in my chest, almost about to explode.

Then--

clap clap clap!
Applause, here we come.

Because Gao Wen left the VIP seat, climbed over the railing, and returned to the court again, he raised his hands and gently patted his face with his left hand, thanking the audience for their concern and cheers in this way, the corners of his mouth raised shallow With a light smile, humble and polite, no arrogance can be seen at all.

The audience echoes.

As Soller said, the Miami Masters is equivalent to Gao Wen's home stadium. IMG Group has started to promote in Miami a few weeks ago. At that time, Federer had not announced his absence in Miami, so the promotion of the Big Four was the focus, but they still Gawain was given enough space.

Step by step, the residents of Miami felt a little close to Gao Wen, as if Gao Wen also lived in this city.

Judging from today's situation, there is no doubt that IMG's layout and publicity are successful, and Gao Wen and the audience have indeed formed a bond.

With a good shot and a little bit of entertainment, the audience was already conquered by Gao Wen, and the loudest applause broke out since the opening.

Little Zverev?
Nobody cares.

The little Zverev was completely reduced to a supporting role. He gave Gawain a hard look, didn't do anything more, lowered his head, and returned to the players' rest area——

Ready to swap venues.

what happened?

Zverev Jr. needs to sort out his thoughts. He obviously won three points in the opening game and held the game point, but how did he lose this serve?
He needs to calm down, he needs to get back on his feet.

The game has just started, and it's not a big deal to fall behind by one serve. There will be a lot of time to break back and return to the same starting line.

Gao Wen agreed with this.

Perhaps, Zverev Jr. is indeed young and immature, and at the same time, he is indeed prone to malfunction under pressure, but this does not mean that he is so fragile.

In fact, Zverev Jr. won a lot of five-set games in the Grand Slam——

Of course, those five-set battles were all against players ranked outside the [-]th in the world, and it would be very difficult if they faced high-ranked seed players; but no matter what, this still shows that he is not a player who gives up lightly. Even under pressure, the performance is still unable to reach the standard.

Therefore, what needs to be done against Zverev Jr. is to continue to put pressure on him, and then force him to struggle more and more in the pressure dilemma.

Gao Wen knew very well that once the young Zverev relaxed, got rid of the shackles of pressure, and gave full play to his strength, the threat he could bring would be very impactful.

It's one thing not to like an opponent, but another thing to look squarely at his opponent's strength. Gawain will never think arrogantly that Zverev Jr. is no threat.

This also means-

After an unexpected break in the opening game, Gao Wen needed to change his tactics in the next serving game. He needed to be more aggressive and try to further suppress his opponent, because Zverev’s counterattack was predictable, and his The serve game will inevitably face more pressure.

really!

Facts quickly proved Gao Wen's interpretation of the game.

Obviously, Zverev Jr. did not give up. Immediately after the break, he attacked Gao Wen's serve, and the attack was very fierce.

Compared with the first confrontation in last year's Challenger League, during this period of time, Gao Wen is growing up, and Zverev Jr. is also growing up, so the competition is naturally different.

Against players with excellent backhands like Zverev Jr. and Djokovic, the tactical layout often needs to be special.

Generally speaking, against a player with a weak backhand, it may be to concentrate on attacking the backhand, seek a breakthrough, and break the tactical balance.

But against a player with a strong backhand, it is impossible to focus on attacking the forehand simply and rudely, because the forehand is the first basic skill for every player to learn tennis, which also means that no matter how weak or unstable the forehand is, it still has a certain attack power , if you take the risk of concentrating your attack, you will be prone to backlash.

In other words, the tactical layout needs to be richer and more diverse, not too single.

Gawain is well aware of Zverev Jr.'s backhand ability. Judging from his experience in many confrontations with Djokovic, he first needs to contain the backhand and try to prevent Zverev Jr. from finding a backhand shot. Feel.

Otherwise, once the backhand opens the situation, the line layout will be more relaxed, and the forehand will also become active together with it, making it difficult to control the situation.

In this regard, Gao Wen is not lacking in experience, and the backhand confrontation with Djokovic seems to have become the main theme of every meeting between them.

but!

Zverev Jr.'s backhand is indeed very, very good. Although he is still young and has not yet fully matured in terms of technology, strength, and tactical layout, Zverev Jr. has already shown his backhand offensive ability early——

fight.

Zverev Jr. is better than Djokovic in the grasp and grasp of fighting.

After all, Djokovic has been playing professional tennis for many years, and he often puts stability first at critical moments; while Zverev Jr. still maintains the edge and drive of a young man, daring to take risks and shots, and his shots in the whole fight are more decisive and more powerful. It is also braver to be direct, and more importantly, the success rate is not trivial.

The lethality is astonishing.

Gao Wen tried to control the situation, but Zverev Jr. repeatedly broke the situation.

Such a scene is reminiscent of the confrontation between Gao Wen and Djokovic, but now the positions are reversed, Gao Wen is trying to control, and Zverev Jr. is trying to subvert.

Wait, does this mean that Gao Wen is still somewhat conservative after all?

Faced with the impact of the new generation of players, Gao Wen's mentality in the game has inevitably changed from a challenger to a defender——

So that the tactics are conservative?
If this is the case, Gao Wen cannot be blamed, after all, human psychology is difficult to control, but...

really?
Gao Wen, are you really conservative?
"40:40".

Split the situation, the fourth time.

Gao Wen wasted a game point, Zverev Jr. wasted two break points, and then, returning to the tie for the fourth time, the game was very close.

Next, it is still a key point, either a game point or a break point.

After a six-shot stalemate, Zverev Jr. found an opportunity and took the lead in the backhand position——

Slash, flat hit, speed up.

bombing!
