Match point

The steps are in place.

The center of gravity is in place.

Racket, in place.

——Murray is highly focused. Driven by frustration and anger, he finds focus, and his entire brain operates at a different speed.

Although Gawain's backhand straight-cut return serve was wonderful, defending and leading the attack; but Murray reacted promptly and found the hitting point immediately.

a pause.

Just before taking action, Murray paused for a moment, shook Gawain, and then took action again. The forehand hit was very decisive and showed courage.

……straight line!
Murray aimed at Gawain's backhand and hit the bottom line in the dead corner. His straight flight line was like whitewash, painting the sideline track on the right side of the tennis court.

Gawain is particularly passive.

He had just pulled his steps back from the singles line, and while he continued to move laterally to the right, the tennis ball was already flying towards the back of his body.

Moreover, there was an obvious pause in Murray's shot, which interfered with Gawain's movement, and the center of gravity control during high-speed movement was slightly shaken.

Then, an emergency brake.

But there was no time to retreat. The upper body and lower body were in a state of separation, and the backhand with both hands was forced to attack in an awkward and awkward position.

A farewell, a sweep.

Gawain tried to exert force, but he could not complete the turning movement. In the end, he could only rely on the push of his forearm to spin the tennis ball as much as possible.

push deep.

topspin.

Although passive and embarrassed, Gao Wen's return still has a hidden edge, pushing the tennis ball as deep as possible and aiming at the middle area, relying on the line and landing point to form a squeeze. The top spin is a trap, destroying Murray's opponent. Controlling the hitting point is expected to create detailed deviations.

Defense does not mean that you cannot attack——

Murray's body was squeezed, and his fast lateral steps hit the tennis ball head-on like a car accident. His swing could not be extended; but Murray did not panic, but cleverly used the squeezed space to backhand with both hands. Pin your body and quickly complete turning movements in a small area.

backhand.

Backslash.

dead end.

The small lead seemed clean and neat, with no room for force but no impact. Murray used the force to hit a backslash skateboard shot.

The tennis ball glided toward the blind corner of Gao Wen's forehand baseline. It was light and agile, with mediocre power, but it fell with the force of breaking through the air.

moment!

Gawain was mobilized and rushed from the left side of the court to the right side.

The speed has been increased to the extreme, but Gawain immediately realized the difficulty of the situation——

Generally speaking, a shot like this is often a forceful attack. He can use the inertia of sprinting and leverage to complete the counterattack in difficult situations.

But now, Murray is hitting lightly, and there is no way to use force; at the same time, Murray is backspin, and the rebound space after landing is limited, leaving Gaowen with limited space to take the initiative; again, Murray aims at the blind corner and waits for Gaowen's footsteps When it's in place, there are only a few hitting options left to choose from.

Passive, very, very passive.

At this time, Gawain had no time to think carefully. He staggered into position, half of his body had left the singles line, and he shot a forehand shot——

When cutting at a low point, the only thing that can be controlled is the return parabola, which should be as close to the net as possible, along the middle, and continue to return to the deep area near the baseline.

In the way of others, give back to others.

Gao Wen tried to continue to suppress Murray by returning the ball from the deep area with spin. However, this time, Murray showed his determination and the courage of a giant.

Step up and cut to the baseline.Murray made a bold choice and volleyed the ball without even waiting for the tennis ball to hit the ground.

This volley is very difficult because the tennis ball continues to fall and fly close to the net with strong backspin; while Murray's center of gravity continues to lean forward, making it difficult to bend his knees, lower his center of gravity, and control the racket surface. , if not handled properly, the volley will go directly to the net.

but--

"Pretty!"

Murray showed off his touch, cutting sideways, using the inertia of the upper step and the body's center of gravity to form a support, and completed the shot with a backhand cut and push.

The tennis ball, creating a strong side spin effect, unexpectedly flew towards the dead center of Gao Wen's forehand baseline, and flew back again at a very fast speed.

Breaking Gawain's body center of gravity balance.

The front foot had just stopped and turned sharply to move to the left, preparing to return to defense.

With the back foot, stop suddenly, turn again, start again, pull back to the right and try to hit the ball.

The center of gravity shifted continuously, and the footwork rate plummeted; coupled with Murray's side shot, he continued to fly outward after landing, further increasing the distance. The rebound height after landing was already limited, and the result was that it continued to deviate from Gawain's hitting position - —

Although his footsteps were moving quickly to shorten the distance, he watched helplessly as the tennis ball moved further and further away.

That's too late.

If you continue to wait, maybe you can shorten the distance to find the hitting point, but firstly, the hitting point is getting further and further back, and it may exceed the horizontal line of the body; secondly, your steps will pull out of the singles line again, and then return to the original position. If you defend, you will be passive.

He couldn't wait any longer.

So, while his footsteps were still moving, his right hand had already been extended.

One probe, one hook.

Because the steps were not completely in place, the hitting action was almost reaching, which meant that power could not be exerted; but Gawain cleverly made a light move with his wrist.

Bounce ball——

At the moment when the ball is released, the wrist accelerates and pulls up, and the upward curve of the first half of the tennis ball suddenly becomes steeper, accelerating and continuing to accelerate rapidly.

lob!
The tennis ball draws a rainbow curve and quickly climbs to a high point; it also flies in a straight direction, and the rhythm of the entire round is instantly overturned.

Murray, it is not surprising that Gao Wen chose to lob the ball. This is also the reason why he continued to step up and close to the net to put pressure after cutting into the court. He was already ready for the follow-up.

The real surprise is... a straight line?
Gao Wen did not choose a conventional diagonal line, but lifted the ball along a straight line and sent the tennis ball to Murray's backhand, which really broke the speculation.

In an extremely difficult and extremely passive situation, there was almost no choice left for returning the ball, but Gao Wen still tried every means to find space.

Use defense instead of attack, keep your edge restrained.

Murray had no choice but to retreat and move at the same time, scanning the entire field with his eyes and ears in all directions to judge and analyze his position on the court.

Only by determining the orientation of the three-dimensional space can the line and landing point control of the high-voltage ball be error-free.

This is not easy.

Retreating, moving sideways, spinning, dizziness, and spinning.

at last!

Murray came to the sideline on the backhand side. Gauvin's lofted ball chose the route and height, and was lacking in depth. It landed near the bottom line of the service area. Although Gauvin had tried his best, Murray was still firmly on the ball. Taking the initiative, the difficulty of this high-pressure ball is not as difficult as imagined.

However, the point is that everything happens in a flash, changing rapidly, and without time and space to breathe, Murray must take action.

Pushing off the ground, taking off, leaning back, and over-the-head high-pressure, Murray finally completed a high-pressure shot before the tennis ball was about to break through his position and fall into the backcourt.

Light buckle, click to kill.

The tennis ball jumped out lightly, like an angry bird.
