Match point

Chapter 1643 It's all about strength
Two straight shots——

"boom!"

The entire central court was directly fried, and all the spectators stood up and shouted, their eyes were full of disbelief, and their hearts burst like this.

"Wow!"

In the commentary, Tong Kexin couldn't help but exclaimed, trying to find some words to express his feelings, but in the end it turned into another exclamation.

"Wow!"

"The second serve scored directly, and Gao Wen escaped unharmed."

On the court, Murray expressed his regret with the frustration of his whole body. His knees softened and he took two staggered steps. , There are not many such opportunities, and if you miss them, you may not have them.

But Xu Yang has a different opinion.

"Actually, the second shot this time is exactly the effect Gao Wen wanted to achieve with the last second shot. Even if it is a second shot, it's a hidden needle and a trap."

"The last point sent a double fault, which led to the match point; but Gao Wen did not relent, and still implemented his own strategy. This time the second serve was successful."

"Gao Wen also realized that Murray had been grabbing the serve, so he also made partial adjustments. His big heart at the critical moment once again showed the championship temperament."

The audience is boiling.

In this game, the audience's expectations were not disappointed from the first game, and a new climax was ushered in at the end of the fourth game. Who would not like such a duel?

Perhaps, the respective fans of the two players?

The voices calling for Murray and the voices calling for Gao Wen were intertwined. The fans of the two players were in the extreme test of suffering and tension at this time. Whether they were ahead or behind, the unresolved game made their hearts curl up tightly. When I got up, I dared not breathe and forgot to breathe.

"30:40".

The central court was a little noisy, and it was really hard for the audience to calm down. After a long time of bustling and bustling, they found some calm under the control of the referee, and the two players who were engrossed on the court were already ready Continue to fight.

Second District.

It's still match point.

This time, Gao Wen chose the inner corner——

Not the classic routine of suppressing the backhand from the outer corner of the second zone, but aiming at the inner corner of Murray's forehand.

This is the third meeting between Gao Wen and Murray, and he has a better understanding of Murray's weak forehand.

In fact, Murray's forehand also has the ability to whip and hammer, which is very lethal. This is also the basis for him to be able to fight against other giants. The so-called short board is only relatively speaking, and the problem still exists objectively:
First, Murray's forehand hits the back and is mainly open-ended. He rarely steps up to grab the rising point and hits a high-speed flat attack.

Second, Murray's personality is relatively conservative, and he tends to rely on the layout to establish enough advantages before cashing in the winning points, instead of changing lines frequently or aiming at the dead corner to pursue the limit. Naturally, forehand returns are often dominated by oblique lines, which is easy to predict , the difficulty of tearing through the opponent's defense has increased.

In the ATP Tour, Murray's forehand is stronger than 95% of the players, even against a violent forehand like Del Potro, he will not lose the wind; but against giant players, the forehand lack of firepower often makes him He got into a multi-shot fight, and the confrontation could be a breakthrough.

Especially key points.

Just like this time.

Gao Wen knew that Murray could hit the ball with his forehand, but when faced with a high-speed flat serve, Murray's forehand was more of a package, not as varied and aggressive as his backhand. This also means that Gao Wen's tactical layout can have more room for movement.

One shot, 123 mph (198 km) -

Enter the zone smoothly!

After failing to make a serve three times in a row, facing the second match point, Gao Wen finally found his long-lost serve.

really!

On the second match point, Murray slowly returned to his familiar pattern, without the madness, taking a step across, blocking and pushing with his forehand.

There is no attack or risk, but a push with a cutting style, relying on the wrapping of the wrist, to push the tennis ball as deep as possible to the bottom line.

extrusion!But insurance.

This is Murray's return serve strategy, but this routine has been accurately predicted in Gao Wen's layout.

Continuously moving in small steps, Gao Wen made some space near the serving position, pulled back the forehand racket slightly, delayed the release by half a beat, and waited for the tennis ball to rise to a certain height after bouncing. The weight is used to push the force, and the wrist is flicked outward.

Backslash skateboard hit.

It looks light, but it is actually advanced.

Gao Wen's return has already returned to Murray's backhand, not heavy but fast, like lightning.

Murray's defensive prediction was very accurate, and he started it immediately, but then realized that Gao Wen hadn't exerted force, and the bounce of the tennis ball after landing was very low, leaving him not much room for counterattack. Therefore, Murray Simply push the boat along with the current, and cut a shot with the backhand.

Cutting, there are also hidden mysteries.

Fast and turning, deep and heavy.

At this time, Murray's understanding of the grass can be seen again. He used the backspin to cut, but did not pull up the arc. The bounce is still not high, and finally the depth and rotation are used to form an impact.

Cutting can also be divided into speed and speed. Some cutting is as slow as a hydrogen balloon rising into the sky, and some cutting is as light and fast as a meteor falling.

Murray's cutting belongs to the latter.

In just one round, the two players have already met once on the offensive and defensive levels.

Gao Wen's footsteps clearly felt the squeeze. He didn't have time to take a step back to get out of the way, which also meant that there was not enough room for attack.

Judging from Murray's position, he is still waiting in the diagonal backhand position, because he knows that Gao Wen's offensive space is limited, and he chooses to force a straight line to attack, either off the net or out of bounds, which is a high probability event; that is to say, If Gao Wen wants to ensure the continuity of the attack, the slash is a high probability event.

Therefore, Murray can just wait where he is.

If it was Djokovic, he would backhand his backhand and hit back diagonally at this time, and then the two good friends saw each other on the bottom line for a long time.

But Gao Wen was not prepared to do this.

Glancing at Murray's position, his knees were bent, his entire center of gravity sank, and he made a side cut with his backhand heavily.

"Cutting VS Cutting".

Tennis is not just about speed and power; in addition to hitting the ball, different hitting methods can also bring about different offensive effects.

Passive cutting is defensive; active cutting can play an offensive role, especially on grass.

Here, Gao Wen did continue to attack, but he didn't choose the usual routine.

On the other side, Murray paused, and the alarm rang loudly. The moment he noticed that Gawain had changed his hitting technique, he kicked off the ground and jumped out to the right.

Tapping.

Tatata!
Sprinting with all his strength, Murray stared at the tennis ball firmly. At this moment, the game and counterattack were completely tense. Everything was hard power, without fancy or skill. Both players' brains were running at high speed. , the collision of strategy and execution blazed up in the air.

——Straight line, shallow area, Gao Wen's one shot cut, once again changed the situation on the court.
