Chapter 1223. Keep up the good work
. “4:3”, Gao Wen is leading.
In fact, Gao Wen is still testing, adapting and adjusting, and has not given his all. This can be seen from the intensity of the rounds.
But to some extent, it is precisely because of this "uncertainty" that the game has fallen into chaos, and it is difficult to grasp the context of the game for a while.
Especially for young players, they are often confused and lost.
When Gawain and Pouille returned to the court to continue the game, Gawain soon realized that Pouille's confidence was shaken and he began to doubt himself.
The simplest and most intuitive manifestation is: receiving the serve.
It has been mentioned before that serving is the only technical link in tennis that is under one's full control. As you can imagine, the player who receives the serve is particularly passive. But it does not mean that the players responsible for receiving the serve should just sit there and wait for death. They also have things to do.
1. Prediction.
Second, focus.
Prediction does not work all the time. In a game, a player may need to serve ninety to one hundred and twenty times, or even more. Therefore, it is impossible for the receiving party to maintain absolute concentration and efficiency at all times, and the accuracy of the prediction is naturally not very reliable.
Therefore, prediction can be divided into two types. One is the accurate judgment of the key score, which is based on observation and analysis; the other is the intuition after figuring out a general pattern and atmosphere. Of course, it can also be said to be gambling, pressing one side, starting the attack in advance, and trying to fight.
From this we can see that prediction is actually a tactic that needs to be used appropriately.
Focus, however, is not.
Throughout the game, you need to stay focused when receiving the serve. When your opponent touches the ball, you must react immediately. The faster your reaction, the more effective it is, allowing you to gain more initiative when receiving the serve. Once you fail to start in time or your attention is distracted, you may miss the hitting point.
In this regard, one relies on talent. Agassi is unrivaled in the history of professional tennis, and his judgment and reaction are inhuman; the other relies on concentration. Nadal is considered the strongest in tennis in this regard. Although his serve and receive are not well-known, he is still strong, relying on concentration.
So what about Djokovic and Murray, who are known as the "best serve receivers"? In fact, they also rely on concentration, but they are slightly different from Nadal. They have a stronger ability to wrap the ball. Even if their concentration fluctuates slightly, they can always wrap the tennis ball and return the ball smoothly. They can even create threats through return serves. To some extent, this is also a talent.
The sight returned to Puyi.
When Pouille's confidence began to waver, his concentration inevitably fluctuated, which was immediately reflected in the serve and receive phase, which is what people often say "not keeping his eyes on the ball."
What happens if you don't keep your eyes on the ball? Just look at table tennis, the ball will either go into the net or fly away if it is hit by the spin. The same is true for tennis.
Once the judgment of rotation and landing point is not accurate, and the conditioned reflex action of receiving the serve is not timely enough, the quality of the entire serve reception will fluctuate immediately.
"30:0".
Two consecutive serves scored.
Gao Wen immediately realized that Puy's concentration fluctuated, he couldn't keep his eyes on the ball, and his hitting point deviated.
In fact, the power of Gao Wen's serve did not improve significantly, and it was basically the same as before, but Puy's serve receiving was repeatedly hitting the wrong point, and it was obvious that Puy was a little anxious, lowering his head and shaking his head continuously, and the atmosphere of the whole game changed subtly:
This also means that the opportunity has come.
Therefore, Gao Wen slightly reduced the speed of the ball, focusing on controlling the landing point, that is, increasing the rotation, side spin, external spin, and top spin, further destroying Pouille's judgment and continuously disrupting Pouille's serve reception.
A serve and attack, a forehand diagonal shot directly scored.
A direct serve, the third in the set.
"Love-game", after breaking Pouille's serve for the second time in a row, Gao Wen did not encounter any challenges and quickly won four points in a row to hold his serve.
"5:3".
At this point, Gao Wen had won five games in a row.
There is no doubt that Gao Wen’s interpretation and control of the game are still excellent, and he is far ahead of the new generation. This group of young people really can’t stand up to him.
Gawain could smell the uncertainty, just as the devil could smell fear.
then--
The next game became the focus of competition again.
Pouille worked very, very hard, trying to play his own game, increase the tempo and get into a familiar track.
However, Gawain always managed to find a way to turn the situation around, disrupting Puy's rhythm again, and then throwing the game into a state of chaos and disorder.
The match was tied three times, Pouille missed two game points, and Gawain missed two break points. The stalemate in this game filled the entire stadium with a smell of gunpowder.
The air was almost burning.
Then came the most exciting and longest round of the game, with the two players confronting each other for twenty-eight beats.
Pouille had a chance, and Gawain also had a chance, but between the offense and defense, both players made wonderful saves, continuing the fierce battle.

Finally! Gao Wen took the lead again and sliced a small ball with his forehand, although Pouille rushed over quickly and successfully played a small ball back.
But Gawain was still more skilled. After dropping the ball, he quickly rushed to the net. With a graceful slide, he finally made full use of the characteristics of the clay. His forehand wrist was accurate and he made a feint, shaking Pouille. Then he turned his forehand wrist and made a big diagonal line.
"Small ball vs. small ball".
It was comparable to the fighting at the net in badminton, with the delicate and precise control skills astonishing the audience.
Gao Wen used wonderful small ball control to pin Pouille in place and got the third break point of this game, a full thirty shots.
After this goal, Puy and Gawain were both breathing heavily, and their physical energy consumption was obvious. Not only was it a long round of confrontation, but also vertical movement. Both of them entered a short period of anaerobic state, which further broke the balance.
Especially for the serving party, because the serving action requires the mobilization of the whole body, the energy consumption is obviously greater. If the breathing is not adjusted, the action will easily be deformed.
Next, Pouille was a typical case, with his confidence and concentration fluctuating dramatically, and then... he made the first double fault of the game.
"Out of bounds!"
The arc of the serve could not be controlled at all and it was extremely out of bounds.
This double fault not only gave Pouille away his serve, but also gave him the first set victory.
The entire audience exclaimed.
Invisible egg! After falling behind at 0:3 at the start, Gao Wen won six games in a row and delivered an invisible egg, once again demonstrating his unparalleled faith and strength.
Puy was very depressed, very, very depressed, and wanted to throw his racket but he still controlled himself, and finally threw the racket to the ground -
The special material of the racket also has a certain rebound effect. After falling to the ground, it bounced up again and returned to Puy's hand. He grabbed the racket fiercely and returned to the players' rest area with his head down and shoulders drooped.
But this is still not the end.
