Chapter 1154: Sudden Coming

A battle of wits and courage.

Not giving an inch.

Here, Gao Wen sent the tennis ball back to Djokovic's middle area twice in a row and used strong topspin to increase the opponent's offensive risk.

Continue the tactics of the second set.

On the other hand, Djokovic gave up the tactics of the second set and no longer rolled the ball, but instead attacked with force, attacking directly with both forehand and backhand.

Break the deadlock.

Perhaps, offense is not Djokovic's strong point, but it is definitely not his weakness.

Switching from forehand to backhand, it can be seen that Djokovic's backhand attack is obviously better, with both speed and rhythm improved.

Moreover, unlike the habitual curling of the forehand, the backhand shot is flatter and more fierce. The incoming ball is like an arrow, aiming at the big triangle hammer at the baseline.

Boom! In the previous shot, Gao Wen had just made up for the disadvantage, and the two sides returned to a state of equal strength.

In the next shot, Djokovic's unexpected move broke the balance again.

Gawain, run at full speed.

Although he did not anticipate Djokovic's three consecutive forced attacks, Gao Wen accurately anticipated the trajectory of Djokovic's backhand diagonal shot.

Take a big step and sprint.

Small steps, adjustments.

With a push of the left foot, the emergency brake was applied, and the inertial force of the full-force sprint was all gathered under the left leg. The calf muscles burst instantly, and the reaction force of the ground came to the face in layers, but it spiraled up along with the movement of pushing off the ground and turning the body, and all was poured into the backhand of both hands.

Swing!

Take action!

"ah!"

“Ahhhh!”

The body has been stretched to the extreme, but time and space are still passive, so Gawain has no way to change line and passively returns a diagonal shot.

Fortunately, the power exploded, and this was a very solid and violent backhand attack.

Not defensive.

To be precise, it should be an attack within defense.

The body was thrown out in an instant, and a powerful blow was struck.

Tennis, back to Djokovic's backhand.

Like Djokovic, Gawain also went all out in this shot, throwing his center of gravity out with the centrifugal force, giving up passive defensive shots and instead using a two-handed backhand to force an attack, trying to reverse the situation with a head-on approach.

So, what’s the cost?

The price was that Gao Wen's body center of gravity was thrown to his left side, his feet had already reached outside the singles line, and the entire right side of the court was completely cleared.

Completely clear!

That's the risk you take when taking a risky shot, no doubt about it.

Gao Wen's mind was very calm and clear. He knew what he was doing. After hitting the ball, he quickly crossed his legs with his left leg and then his right leg, controlling his body. The reaction force from the ground surged and swallowed him like a raging wave. His knees were under a huge impact.

Crunch. Crunch.

It seems that one can clearly hear the sound of joints popping.

But as he concentrated his attention, he deeply felt the burning sensation spreading through his muscles and blood vessels. As soon as he paused, his body began to move lightly.

Because Gawain is certain and confident that Djokovic will not show any mercy on the match point, which also means that his strong attack must be prepared for the next shot.

Then, Gawain noticed the figure on the other side of the court——

Djokovic, sideways again.

From here we can see that at the match point, Djokovic firmly controlled the initiative, his desire to attack reached a new extreme, and the entire game was very strong.

For Gao Wen, this kind of Djokovic is abnormal. Even though this is the sixth time they have met, this version of Djokovic does not appear very often. The whole rhythm, intensity and speed have changed completely.

This also proves that Gawain finally forced Djokovic's Super Saiyan form out, and even Djokovic himself didn't realize it.

But, after turning sideways, how will Djokovic hit the ball? Wait!

Oops!

Damn it!

Damn it!

Gao Wen's footsteps lightly jumped twice on the spot, trying to readjust his center of gravity and find his defensive rhythm, but he saw Djokovic's forehand -

Lift high and put down gently.

What does this mean? Djokovic's best trick is to hit a forehand slice and drop shot.

Generally speaking, players are stronger with their forehand than their backhand. The forehand can hit, block, cut and push, and has a variety of handling techniques. When they have the upper hand, they can further establish an advantage by hitting the forehand.

It is conceivable that players who can exert a greater advantage with their forehands will often not choose to cut and release the ball with their forehands. Naturally, this technique becomes rusty due to lack of polishing and practice.

but.

Djokovic is different. Under Becker's guidance, he gradually honed this technique.

First, use the forehand cut to extend the opponent's running distance.

Secondly, the forehand cut and drop shot was very sudden and unexpected.

Finally, the forehand control is delicate, from the line to the landing point to the rotation, it is very, very outstanding.

After comprehensive effects, the forehand cut and drop shot can often achieve amazing results. This is also known as a unique skill of Djokovic that other players have not mastered.

Of course, for this technique to reach the level of a "master skill", it will take at least until 2018 or 2019, and it will be honed and tempered through countless competitions before it finally takes shape. As of 2015, Djokovic is still just honing his skills, and has some tricks, but his power is still slightly lacking.

It seems that at this moment, it is more of a "raid" role to break the balance of confrontation.

Djokovic caught Gawain off guard and chose to drop the ball with his forehand, which actually made Gawain swear.

The best in the world, it really is the best in the world.

On the match point, he first launched a strong attack and then took risks with the small ball. The entire tactical combination and shot selection broke Gawain's predictions again and again. Even though his feet were already standing on the edge of the cliff and a slight shake in his hands might ruin his entire game, Djokovic remained firm.

Not only sudden and bold, but also meticulous and clever, it fully and unreservedly displays one's abilities.

It is worthy of being a giant.

But Djokovic also knows Gao Wen's mobility, and he should be able to catch up with ordinary small balls, which also requires him to improve the quality of small balls as much as possible.

The smaller the better, which means the closer to the net the better.

A perfect little ball is one that passes along the net into the opponent's half of the court, and then completely unloads force, with as little force as possible attached to the tennis ball, and has almost no height after it hits the ground and bounces back.

In this way, no matter how fast the opponent is, they can only watch the ball and sigh.

At this time, Djokovic's attention was all on controlling the line, so that the control of the racket face was a little less precise and the force was not released completely.

This also means a glimmer of hope.

Gawain still has a chance.

A kick.

One step.

First left leg, then right leg, then left leg again, then right leg.

The power of his calf muscles exploded completely, and he could even feel the secretion of lactic acid. The 44-beat duel also had an impact on him.

Especially at this time, when changing speed and accelerating, pausing at the baseline, then starting again and moving vertically, all the muscles in the body begin to burn.

My knees were trembling slightly, and it seemed that if I hesitated or delayed even a little, I might not be able to push off the ground.
