Chapter 1017: All by feeling
Push off the ground!
break out!
The wind was blowing and the whole world was spinning. The surging golden sunlight poured down like a torrential rain, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Gawain, his concentration was extreme, all distractions disappeared, and he was completely focused on the tennis ball.
Federer's serve return was indeed beautiful. He broke Gao Wen's layout with a flash of inspiration and broke the balance of confrontation between the two sides during the serve return.
But is Gao Wen's serve really useless?
Obviously not.
An excellent serve successfully squeezed Federer. Although Federer broke his balance with an unexpected shot, the quality of his return was mediocre.
Landing point, yes.
Line, yes.
Power, no.
Speed, no.
Simply put, Federer was still pursuing the limitations brought by the landing point and line to pave the way for his subsequent shots, so he went directly to the net.
Because Federer knew that his serve return was of good quality, but it was still not enough to directly win the winning point.
really!
Gawain caught up.
So, how should you choose to return the ball? The brain is working at high speed.
Gao Wen did not throw his body out completely, but when he was about to reach the hitting point, he supported himself with his left leg, braked suddenly, and controlled his body.
Moreover, he uses the force of the forward thrust to complete the swing, cleverly utilizing the acceleration to fully increase the speed of the racket head and swing the whole person out directly.
Elegant! Flowing! Thunderous! Powerful! Bang.
Gao Wen's two-handed backhand was very solid and smooth. From moving to the fixed point to hitting the ball, all the movements were done in one go and the shot was completed in an instant.
This is still not the end!
With one push and one thrust, the center of gravity of the body has completed the second start. Stepping on the spring, the collision between the sole of the foot and the ground continuously outputs reaction force, turning into a flash of lightning, cutting into the baseline, and sprinting towards the net at full speed -
Go online!
Gao Wen also went online.
Wait, what about the previous shot?
straight line.
In an extremely passive situation, Gawain swung his sword back with both hands and unsheathed it, creating a streak of light and shadow, and his speed of retracting the sword was significantly increased to a higher level.
The iconic backhand straight line came out of nowhere! The whole audience exclaimed!
Because of Gao Wen's backhand straight line, he chose to break through Federer's forehand position.
Unconventionally, no backhand was chosen.
Federer, indeed, did not expect this and started a little bit slow.
Just a little bit.
But the hitting position and the swing space are very different.
Federer tried to move, but everything happened too fast and he had no time, so his feet were still behind, but his body had already flown out in a diving header.
On one side, Federer is flying.
On one side, Gawain was charging forward.
Two beams of light and shadows form a misalignment.
Then--
A rub.
Federer miraculously touched the tennis ball, and with a soft flick of his wrist, all the power concentrated on the tennis ball was removed.
Lightly.
Smartly.
Elegantly.
Flying over the net, and then landing on the court on Gawain's side -
Diagonal, forehand.
Gao Wen's pupils contracted. As expected, his straight shot broke Federer's balance and forced Federer to hit a small ball back.
Gao Wen arrived on horseback, and everything went according to plan...
wrong.
Wait, that's not right! There was a slight deviation from the plan. Federer's return was so light and soft that it was simply amazing. After crossing the net, it had no power left and fell almost close to the net. It bounced up and didn't show any height before it fell again.
Oops!
Gawain's speed has been improved to the extreme, but Federer's handling of the small ball in front of the net is perfect. The line, landing point, rotation and power are all impeccable. Even though Gawain has moved in advance, predicted in advance, arranged in advance, and even predicted the hit accurately, he is still a little bit short.
Squeak! Gao Wen slid out directly with his legs split, trying to grab a shot with his forehand.
but.
After all, it was still a little bit off.
Two jumps.
After the tennis ball bounced for the second time, Gao Wen's racket was in place, barely cutting into the narrow gap between the tennis ball and the ground, trying to pick a shot.
It's all too late.
"6:7".
The referee immediately confirmed that the tennis ball had jumped twice and announced the score directly: Gawain was in front and Federer was behind.
The second inventory appeared.
"ah!"
Federer roared, clenched his fists, his eyes burning with murderous intent, and his momentum reached its peak.
huff.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
huff.
Gawain was breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling like a bellows, feeling a little unwilling, a little depressed, and a little annoyed, but it was fleeting.
Gao Wen raised his hands and applauded Federer.
In this point, Federer really showed his top touch, nothing to say.
but!
Gawain was not depressed. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, his eyes lit with high morale, and his blood boiled under the golden sunlight of the desert.
As expected, this game was full of challenges! The second count.
This time, it was a little different because Federer had just broken Gawain's serve, so the next point was Federer's serve.
If Federer could serve an ACE directly, the outcome of the first set would be decided and the initiative would be in Federer's hands.
District 2.
Federer looked very calm and composed, without any fluctuation at all. From the moment he hit the ball, the entire serving rhythm was exactly the same as usual.
First shot, outside corner, 207 km/h.
At the critical moment, Federer's heavy weapon came into play again, and the speed, power and angle of the entire first serve all reached the highest level.
Whoosh! The tennis ball turned into a streak of light and flew diagonally from one side of the court to the other, like lightning, and then rushed out.
However! A figure appeared on the flight path of the tennis ball——
Gawain!
The prediction was very accurate, and he directly caught Federer's serve tactical intention and started and moved in advance.
The steps are firm yet light.
Step! One step! Step! Two steps!
With just two big strides, the body was almost in place.
Step! Three steps!
Following the inertia and force of the third stride, he threw his body out hard, exerted full force with both hands in a backhand strike, and collided head-on.
"Power vs. Power!" Boom! The whole audience was stunned. They couldn't believe their eyes. Facing Federer's serve at a speed of over 200 kilometers per hour, Gawain actually attacked directly.
Buzz.
Everyone held their breath, leaving only the hot air rushing around their ears.
Tennis ball, gone.
The mustard yellow lightning came from one side to the other, but was then hit back and returned along the same path. The collision of force and force, and the superposition of speed and speed, pushed the art of hitting to the extreme.
There was only a halo of light remaining, stirring in the air.
When tennis reappears, Federer can be seen moving in a state of disarray.
Slash.
Look back.
Gao Wen used both hands to hit a diagonal backhand shot, creating a larger angle and directly smashing the tennis ball towards the big triangle at the baseline.
Federer's serve had not yet fully recovered, and his steps were naturally awkward. He had no time to lead the racket. He just symbolically extended the racket towards the big triangle at the baseline and barely blocked the shot.
One stretches out, the other blocks.
One bounce, one push.
It's all about feeling and talent.
...Actually! They intercepted it!
Federer has lost his balance, his body is shaky, there is no way to provide any support, he can only rely entirely on the feeling of his wrist to complete the interception, but no matter what -
He, stopped it! Miraculous!
Unbelievable!
