Match point

Chapter 643 Gradually recovering
Defeating Busta in straight sets to advance to the third round, winning a head-to-head encounter is very beautiful, which is a good thing to celebrate; but more important is the way to win the game:

This proves that Gao Wen is on the right track, and it also proves that it is a wise choice to give up last week's competition and return to systematic training in a down-to-earth manner. Step by step, Gao Wen's state and hand feeling have shown an upward and recovery curve.

The next game also continued to prove one point——

Especially the game temperament, the familiar Gao Wen shines again.

In the third round, he faced the famous French player Jeremy-Chardy (Jeremy-Chardy).

Born in 1987, he is currently in the golden period of his career. This year, he continues to refresh his highest personal world ranking. In the latest list, he has reached No. 20 and nine, and he has entered the top [-] for the first time in his career.

The most classic masterpiece of this season is in the second round of the Rome Masters, against Federer, he launched a Jedi counterattack after only losing one game in the first set. In the end, he reversed and won in three sets, which was a shocking upset.

Although Chardy has never been a superstar on the Shining Tour, he has always played a central role in the Tour. There is no doubt that it will be another tough battle.

最终，“4：6”、“6：4”、“7：5”。

Gawain, another victory.

Three hard-fought games, very, very close scores.

It was Chardy who broke serve first in the final set, and kept leading all the way, ushering in his own serve to win the game first, but never underestimate Gao Wen.

Under desperation, Gao Wen was stimulated with amazing energy. In Chardy's serve to win the game, not only did Chady not see the match point, but he also caught Chady's eagerness to win and sent out four points in a row. A "love-game" broke serve; followed by four points in a row to secure serve.

If you add the score of "0:30" in Chady's next serve, Gao Wen will complete a "10:0" scoring climax. Gawain, whose speed exploded instantly, Chady hadn't recovered from his breath, and was already facing the match point——

Gawain's match point.

"40:0", since Chardy's serve to win the game, the two players have scored a total of 11 points, "1:[-]", Gao Wen took the lead with a sweeping attitude, and successfully won his own serve After winning three consecutive match points, showing a beating and crushing attitude, the gap was immediately opened.

Chardy, I'm a little confused.

It could be seen from his eyes that he obviously didn't understand what happened, so the one point at match point became a microcosm of the last four rounds.

At the match point, Gao Wen served the ball and pressed the forehand close. He did not take the risk of trying to widen the angle, but squeezed Chardy with speed and strength.

Chadi's consciousness was still clear, he knew that he had no way out, so he started fighting after receiving the serve.

It was a little surprising that after Chadi unloaded the burden, the feeling of the fight came back. He moved away from the body with small steps in succession, fought with a small diagonal line with his forehand, and finally landed!

Hit flat, make a small slash, and use your strength to strike.

The whole effect was excellent, forcing Gao Wen, who had just completed the serve and had not had time to recover his action position, to get into trouble and staggered towards the forehand position.

However, Chadi's fighting formed a speed suppression, which did not give Gawain enough time to adjust.

In a hurry, Gao Wen could barely catch a shot with his forehand. Moreover, Chardy's skateboard return and serve did not use force, so that Gao Wen could not use his strength and could only slice in the end.

When returning the ball, the speed and power are immediately reduced.

Chardy stayed on his toes and went straight inside the baseline to attack.

But Gawain's cleverness is that he anticipated Chardy's aggressive momentum, and cut and cut a strong backspin, which made it difficult for Chardy to complete the knee-bending position when his center of gravity was unstable when he moved up. The downward movement will invisibly affect Chardy's offensive quality.

Therefore, even though Chardy kept the initiative and made three consecutive attacks impenetrable, the tightly connected midfield attack was always suppressed by the pursuit of rhythm, so that the angle was never widened, which also gave Gawain room to defend. It is easier to predict and control.

Gao Wen is embarrassed and passive, but he can always return the ball steadily, and the control of the rotation always makes Chardy very uncomfortable.

Chardy is trapped in the midfield position. If he steps forward to press the net, the quality of the shot is still not enough, and it is likely to be crossed; if he retreats to the bottom line, the accumulated advantage is instantly cleared and he returns to the starting point.

Between the dilemma, Chardy still chose to forcibly go online.

This move did not escape Gao Wen's expectations, and was even a trap to some extent. A series of small adjustments made him reach his backhand position early, and he even had time to observe Chardy's position in front of the net.

In defense, he is more than capable.

Then, Gao Wen did not choose to cross as usual, but confidently picked a super topspin high ball with his backhand with both hands. The entire parabola was very full and full, just like a full moon scimitar.

In the indoor hard court environment, the entire batting rhythm is comparable to that of table tennis. All reactions are compressed, almost forming a conditioned reflex. Naturally, the arc and frequency of the batting action will also be affected.

In other words, here, the action of raising the ball is easy to be incomplete, so that the parabola cannot be pulled to the ideal state, and you will be caught by the opponent if you are not paying attention, and then you will be killed directly with a high-pressure shot.

High ball, very risky.

Chardy also noticed Gao Wen's self-confidence and calmness. He retreated and adjusted in small steps continuously, preparing to complete the high pressure with a backward shot, but he was always observing Gao Wen's position from the corner of his eyes. He was afraid of Gao Wen's defensive ability and hoped that he could Seize the opportunity of the high-pressure ball and end the point with one shot.

Then--

J.

This point, the end is over, but not the way Chady hoped.

The whole audience was stunned and couldn't believe their eyes. Chardy actually smashed this high-pressure shot directly into the net, ending the game in such a bad way.

Clearly, Chardy relented.

In the closing stage of the game, Chardy lost confidence as he played more and more. He obviously took the initiative but didn't know how to end the point. On the offensive end, he was always afraid of Gao Wen's defense. It's not in place enough, and it loses attention in all directions.

The last point was lost in a daze.

Chardy, with question marks all over his head, finished his last shot, looked at the white waves surging in front of him, glanced blankly at his racket, turned it over, and then turned it over again, as if There is a mechanism hidden in the racket, my mind is blank, and I am dumbfounded:
From the "5:4" lead to ushering in the moment of serving to win the game, how did it develop to only one point in the next four games?

Losing the game sucks, but it's even worse not knowing how you lost it!
And obviously the game is completely under his control, and the rhythm of offense and defense has not changed, so what is going on, things are out of control?

Chardy had a hundred thousand reasons why he wanted to ask.
