Match point

Layout and countermeasure——

The confrontation between Nadal and Gauvin started from the moment of serving and receiving. Although Nadal's serve was not fast, the effect was excellent; but Gauvin was still completely contained through line control in the narrow space.

This can be seen from Nadal's response.

Although Gauvin's return ball was not fast, Nadal moved into position immediately, and hitting the ball was not a problem; but the point is that Gauvin's return ball had no speed, power, and spin, and he almost did not move forward after landing in the midfield position. , Nadal's habitual position of about one meter behind the baseline seems... too far, and there is a gap between him and tennis.

Naturally, the location of the hitting point is a bit strange, making it difficult to generate power.

Nadal often needs to borrow force to exert force on his backhand position. At this time, he cannot borrow force, and he has to wait for the release time. The whole rhythm is a bit strange.

Nadal waited for a moment, then struck with a backhand with both hands, but before taking action, he deliberately waited a moment, feinted a shot, delayed the action, and then struck again.

Straight lines, deep areas.

Nadal did not fully exert his strength, but pushed the tennis ball behind Gao Wen. He saw Gao Wen moving toward the forehand position to cover after receiving the serve, so he deliberately waited for Gao Wen to start. Then he used a straight shot to push back.

This straight line does not fly along the sideline or aim at the dead end of the bottom line, but returns straight and straight along the route of Gao Wen's return. Therefore, the route is located in the middle of the court, just one step away from the side. Past.

The line is still maintained in the middle.

This position is a bit awkward. Gao Wen's steps have just passed the midpoint of the baseline, and he has to pull back. He has to swing the backhand quickly with both hands, and it is difficult to adjust his steps. The space between his body and the tennis ball is a bit awkward, so that he can't swing back. The shooting space is awkward, neither too wide nor too narrow. Coupled with this position, if you launch an attack hastily, you may make mistakes——

The returned ball is easy to hit the net or go out of bounds.

This requires caution; but the point is that if you are too cautious and the quality of the transition ball is not enough, it may become an opportunity for Nadal.

Nadal will naturally not miss such an opportunity.

The control and game of returning the ball are traps everywhere.

At this time, Gawain's on-the-spot handling can reveal his current strength and high confidence. Such a complicated and ambiguous round is not a confrontation between strength and power, nor a collision between speed and speed, but Gawain's lightning and flint The shots between are full of imagination.

Steps, pause, bend the knees, squat down, control the center of gravity in a zhama stance, backhand the body with both hands and flick the skateboard in a small way.

slash.

Gao Wen did not choose to be conservative or fall into passivity. Instead, he seized such a round to launch an attack and pursued a landing point with a small diagonal push of his backhand skateboard. He did not exert force or increase speed. The focus was on the line and landing point.

Return the ball, push it to the shallow area of ​​​​the sideline, and press it on the sideline. The position is only half a step smaller than the small triangle on the bottom line of the service area, and the angle is instantly torn apart.

Moreover, there was no force.

The entire shot is very light and simple. While the rhythm increases, there is no force at the same time, which also means that there is no room for the opponent to use the force.

The tennis ball was thrown out like a bolt of lightning.

Pretty!

The audience who witnessed this ball with their own eyes had to praise Gawain's handling, which was light and agile, and the inspiration and skill collided to create wonderful sparks.

Then, Nadal fell into passivity.

In the previous shot, Nadal was still making plans, trying to contain Gawain's return.

In the next beat, Nadal was already pushed into passive position and running at full speed.

Run, sprint.

Nadal crossed the court on hot wheels, and his speed instantly increased to the extreme. However, even with Nadal's defensive footwork, the ball was passive and visible to the naked eye. You can clearly see the flight and fall of the tennis ball, and the return of the ball. The space disappears little by little.

Tap, tap, tap.

Nadal, focused and unblinking.In the blink of an eye, he had already rushed out of the singles line. He took a long stride forward, braked with his left foot, extended his upper body infinitely forward, and then released his power without reservation with his forehand like a whip.

Speed ​​up, swing, hit.

Everything happened in an instant. Nadal's iconic full-moon scimitar came out of the sky. With just one shot, the impact was completed in the narrow space at the head of the racket. The energy released by the instant friction had completely pulled up the rotation of the tennis ball.

Whoosh.Whoosh whoosh whoosh.Whoosh!

The tennis ball, like a boomerang, spins at high speed.

The audience took a deep breath.

Nadal, as expected of Nadal, not only rushed to complete an extreme shot, but also relied entirely on his upper body strength to pull out a straight shot without any space to hit the ball.

straight line!

In such a predicament, in such a round, he was able to pull out a straight shot. Nadal's forehand ability was once again fully demonstrated.

Unusual, breaking the rules, subverting the situation, reversing passivity, and even gaining the upper hand, this is Nadal.

Exclaimed, one piece.

Gawain was indeed caught off guard. Even though he was concentrating without any slack, even though he was always watching Nadal's moves, this straight line shot that shocked everyone still exceeded expectations, and the billowing waves were majestic. The shaking came to my face, and my scalp felt numb.

——Kick off the ground, sprint, and run wildly.

Gawain immediately started to move laterally, but Nadal's exertion in the extreme state fully increased his strength and speed, instantly pushing Gawain into an extremely passive position. His steps were barely in place, but there was no room to hit the ball. If he hesitated again, , the hitting point will cross the horizontal line of movement, and then fall into the dilemma of hitting the ball behind you.

He needs to take action.

however!
Before taking action, he caught a figure coming forward in his peripheral vision.

It's Nadal.

Go online!

In such a passive, chaotic and terrible situation, Nadal not only completed an incredible shot, but also completed the control of sudden stops and turns with his steps in a hurry, and immediately chose to go online to press.

The connection between offense and defense was smooth and smooth, and the layout and game layout were even more impressive. People still underestimated Nadal's strength on hard courts.

In an instant, Nadal regained the initiative and took control of the situation.

With a shot of the ball, Nadal took the initiative.

With a shot of the ball, Gawain took the initiative.

With a shot of the ball, Nadal took the initiative.

Every touch of the ball is crucial. The collision between routine and unconventional, power and control changes the situation at every moment, truly interpreting "fast-changing", and the confrontation between you and me enters an unprecedented state.

Involuntarily, I held my breath, dumbfounded.

Gawain caught the figure in the corner of his sight, but he had no time to adjust, or even to panic. He had to take action at the first opportunity, and he took advantage of the situation with his swing without stopping.

Forehand, one block, one hook.

In the midst of the swaying and swaying steps, Gao Wen only relied on his wrist to draw a diagonal shot, but Gao Wen had no choice. He could only control the parabola as much as possible and fly close to the net to avoid leaving too much space for Nadal. The opportunity to kill at the net is the only thing he can control.

There is no way, everything is too fast.

Tennis ball, swaying and flying.
