Match point

There was a lot of discussion in the commentary seat, and the commentators who were familiar with Gao Wen realized that in this round, Gao Wen started to exert strength.

Zhan Jun is no exception, he gave a possibility.

"Little Zverev, a little tight."

"Not nervous, but tense."

"He wanted to exert force too much, and he was too excited and excited at the same time. His power was more overflowing than usual, so the control effect was not the same, and he was easily deformed."

"Tennis, like table tennis, badminton and other sports, does not mean that whoever is stronger can win the point. Miraculous situations exist objectively, but most of the time, if the strength is too great, it may be lost. The control of hitting the ball, getting twice the result with half the effort, is the most appropriate description."

However, this is just a guess, and they need to continue to wait and see.

Zhan Jun's eyes fell on Gawain again, and he was a little curious about how Gawain would fight next——

In this round, Gao Wen was different from the previous four rounds. Although the changes were not drastic, the changes in rhythm and batting did exist.

Appreciating Gao Wen's game is indeed a kind of enjoyment.

——"15:40".

ACE!

Zverev Jr. finally used an ACE with a speed of 205 kilometers per hour to win a point neatly and save a break point.

"what!"

The little Zverev also roared directly. The situation in this round was far from his imagination. He himself was aggrieved and depressed.

He needed this catharsis.

——"30:40".

Although it was the second serve, the two players had a stalemate on the bottom line. You fought back and forth for nine rounds. Gao Wen's forehand attack in a straight line was a little insufficient in control, so that he missed the sideline and ended the point with a mistake.

Zverev Jr. saved another break point.

"what!"

Once again, little Zverev clenched his fists and roared, the anger and irritability bubbling in his chest still could not be vented, he didn't like his position.

On the other side of the net, Gao Wen was unmoved. He glanced at the landing point of his forehand shot, then turned back to the second area to prepare for the next point.

Objectively speaking, Gao Wen still needs more games, more shots and more confrontation. Now the batting feel and game state are still in the running-in stage, and all deviations are inevitable. This is what he has always insisted on with Zverev Jr. The reason for the bottom line.

Moreover, although Gao Wen has met Zverev Jr. twice at present, both of which are very easy from the point of view of the score, but in fact, Zverev Jr. is a difficult player. As he grew up, his game was very dramatic.

In the Grand Slam arena, Zverev Jr. did not know how to win for a long time. Even when facing players ranked outside the [-]th or even [-]th place in the world, he often lost two sets first and then Then grind it back bit by bit, and reverse it in three sets.

From a positive perspective, he has tenacity; but from a negative perspective, he does not know how to control his game. He has no ability and talent, but he does not know how to detonate energy during the game.

In tonight's meeting, Zverev has indeed grown compared to Miami, so don't ignore his stalemate ability, and don't ignore his see-saw ability.

Missing two break points in a row should set off alarm bells, but there is no need to be nervous or anxious, it is just part of the game and completely expected.

Step by step, come to the second area.

Concentrate, keep your eyes on the incoming ball—

Close body pressure backhand.

Although it is still on the backhand side, this time he made a change and chose to be close, which is rare in today's game. When it came to the key score, Zverev Jr. also showed his arsenal one after another. It is serving, and his ability can already be seen in different combinations.

Gao Wen's prediction was accurate, but the speed of the ball was too fast, the serve at 200 kilometers per hour was still squeezed to the body, and the backhand swing was not fully developed.

One.

And at this time, the difference can be seen, because of the relationship between the close body squeeze, the same backhand block, the control of the parabola is obviously lacking.

Gao Wen's return serve was raised a little bit, and rushed along the backhand diagonally along the middle, but the impact of the ball was obviously insufficient. Zverev Jr.'s footsteps were very calm, adjusting small steps continuously, and the backhand with both hands was already done. Attack.

but.

Zverev Jr.'s attack did not fully open the line, half offensive and half transitional shot, it is really difficult to judge the purpose of this shot; don't forget, this is the first shot of the attack after the serve. In the high-spirited situation, Zverev Jr. still did not open the angle.

Gawain's response was very calm——

Backhanded with both hands, there was no strong force, just a little force, and a light push in a straight line.

The tennis ball rushed all the way along the left sideline of Gao Wen, but the power, angle, rotation, etc. were not improved to the extreme. It was equivalent to a light slap, focusing on controlling the landing point.

Zverev Jr. had just returned to the center of the court and was ready to return to defense. He immediately realized the route of the incoming ball, and his footsteps were adjusted in a timely and light manner. Compared with his height, moving his feet can indeed see the growth and transformation of the younger generation. .

Another point worth mentioning is that Zverev Jr. is not afraid of backspin.

Generally speaking, for a player with a height of over 195 cm like Zverev Jr., the difficulty of knee squatting and sinking of the center of gravity will increase to a higher level, especially the adjustment during fast movement. More challenges.

But Zverev Jr.'s physical talent is indeed outstanding, and he handles backspin very steadily.

Of course, this is also the reason why little Zverev has never gained weight. Even if his body shape is slightly thin, he has not rashly added weight to destroy his lightness of movement and ease of center of gravity adjustment.

At this time, Gawain pushed lightly for topspin. It was either super topspin or an ordinary shot. With a little topspin, he came to Zverev's position, and even had some exhaustion.

Little Zverev moved his body forward slightly, and made a decisive forehand shot. Relying on his own strength, he hit a straight line——

Give back to the other body in the way of others.

Back and forth, the banging shots were like ping-pong balls. The whole rhythm was very fast. It seemed that the tennis ball had just been pushed back to Zverev's side, and it came again before he could blink. to Gawain.

Gao Wen, you are well prepared.

There was a slight pause in his footsteps, and he was about to move towards his forehand position, but after a pause, he immediately pulled back, and his body appeared in the backhand position again.

It can be seen from his steady center of gravity and light footsteps that Gawain has been prepared in advance, and Zverev's return is expected.

Kick the ground, swing the racket, turn around——

hit the ball.

The whole backhand with both hands was solid and crisp. At the moment of the shot, the speed of the racket head increased, and the tennis ball hit like a cannonball.

Fast, fast and straight; and Gawain was strong.

"Straight vs. Straight vs. Straight".

For the third shot in a row, Gawain aimed at Zverev Jr.'s forehand again and hammered.

At the same time, accelerate, add force, push deeper, and spin back.

Same line, different handling.Totally different.

Before little Zverev even had time to adjust his steps, a mighty wave of air had already hit him——

Grass.

Grass!
Hastily hastily!
