Chapter 1241: The excitement continues Immediately

afterwards——

In the fourth game, the Bryan brothers served again, and this time it was Mike's serving game.

In the tense situation of "30:15", Mike improved his condition, cleverly used his serve to gain advantage, and was almost about to score.

In a blink of an eye, the advantage established by the Bryan brothers through serving continued to expand, and they had firmly grasped the advantage at the net.

Moreover, unlike the first set, this time, the Bryan brothers launched a barrage of high-pressure balls in front of the net.

Not a volley, but a high pressure.

The overall pressure and impact were raised by two levels, leaving no breathing space for the opponent, and it hit them like a torrential rain.

Gawain and Dimitrov were in a very sorry state. They could only defend themselves and had no power to fight back.

However, the two players showed the baseline hitting ability of top singles players, frequently saving the ball and continuously sending the tennis ball back to the other side.

The Bryan brothers hit high-pressure balls for eight consecutive times, but they failed to score a winning point.

This situation looks like a table tennis game of slice ball, with one side attacking and the other side defending. Seeing that the slice ball side is in danger and may be completely defeated at any time, they use different defensive means to continuously send the table tennis ball back to the opposite table, forcing the other side to continue attacking.

The whole audience exclaimed again and again——

High pressure, ah!

High voltage, huh!

High voltage, oh!

The heart continued to explode with the high-pressure balls from the Bryan brothers, and even the exclamations were twisted into a rope, pushing the momentum of the entire stadium to the extreme.

The characteristics of clay were fully revealed in this point. Although the Bryan brothers had put all their strength into the ball, a lot of it was absorbed and disintegrated after it landed. Even if it was a high-pressure ball, it still gave Gawain and Dimitrov space to control the ball and prevented them from scoring directly.

If it were a hard court, let alone eight high-pressure balls, I'm afraid two consecutive high-pressure balls would be enough.

However, the Bryan brothers' advantage became more and more obvious, the opponent's rescue route became shorter and shorter, so their position became more and more forward.

The attack power is becoming more and more fierce and aggressive.

Finally, Bob took a step forward, stood in front of the net, and fired a high-pressure shot from deep into the baseline.

On the other side of the court, Gawain and Dimitrov were helpless because they were too passive, unable to predict or defend. The two of them basically stood there and accepted the outcome.

This point should be lost.

Unexpectedly, Bob's smash flew towards Gawain and hit Gawain's position accurately.

Gao Wen, stretched out his hand to stop him.

There was no skill, no control, not even consciousness. It was purely a muscle reaction, and he stretched out the racket reflexively.

result!

This one, unexpectedly! Stopped!

The tennis ball flew back again.

ah.

The whole audience's breath was cut off in an instant. All heads raised up in unison, watching the tennis ball fly across the court, over the heads of the Bryan brothers, and fall into the deep zone.

Like a shooting star.

Mike realized something was wrong immediately, quickly retreated, caught up to the baseline, and turned 180 degrees on the spot, trying to complete the shot.

However, during the turning process, there was a deviation in the judgment of space and position, which eventually caused the ball to go directly into the net.

Boom! The whole place exploded.

"30:30".

I can’t imagine it. I absolutely can’t imagine it.

The Bryan brothers have taken the absolute initiative. Gawain and Dimitrov have basically given up on hitting the ball, but this point belongs to the Gawain combination.

A little bit of luck, a little bit of surprise.

The four players on both sides of the court were all stunned. None of them had expected such a situation, and finally they all burst into laughter.

It’s really exciting, one wave after another.

Although the Gao Wen duo managed to catch up with a point with a little bit of luck, this round might even be an unrepeatable one in Monte Carlo this year; but the Bryan brothers still performed well afterwards, winning two points in a row and quickly holding their serve without any danger, avoiding the dilemma of facing a break point.

In the second set, the situation was deadlocked, from "1:1" to "4:4".

The most important thing is that neither team gave away break points, the most they got was a tie, and they showed strong control in their own serving games.

Then——

The Gao Wen combination successfully held their serve again, and relying on the advantage of serving first, they once again surpassed the scoreline, "5:4", gaining a slight psychological advantage and putting pressure on the Bryan brothers.

Next is the Bryan brothers' serve game with no way out. If there is any mistake, they will have to face the test of match point.

This time, it was Bob who served.

"30:0", Bob, smooth start.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"30:30", the opponent is chasing closely.

The situation immediately became delicate. The next point could be a game point or a match point.

Bob responded with an ace.

"40:30".

Ah! Bob roared. He could clearly feel that pressure was an objective reality. It was very important for Bob to perform ACE under pressure.

However, in the next point, Mike made a fatal mistake in grabbing the net.

Gao Wen noticed Mike's intention to grab the net, and he hit a strong topspin forehand, a typical clay shot, using the topspin to destroy the stability of his opponent's racket face. In the end, Mike's volley in front of the net was too fierce and went directly into the net, missing the game point. The two sides were tied, and the crisis was still not resolved.

The game has come to a critical moment.

In fact, it can be seen at this time that the Bryan brothers are hard court players trained in traditional North America, but the combination on the other side of the net is not.

Dimitrov was trained in Paris, and Gao Wen's adaptation to clay is obviously stronger than that of ordinary North American players. From the attempts and layouts throughout the game, one can deeply feel that Gao Wen is switching from hard courts to clay, but it just takes more time and more games.

It is precisely because of this that the strength gap between the two teams has further narrowed, and the game has become more tense.

"40:40".

Bob serves and Dimitrov receives.

Zone 1.

This time, Gao Wen and Dimitrov adopted another positioning method: double baseline.

Although the positioning of one at the baseline and one at the net is becoming more and more common in doubles matches, most of the time, players will adopt this positioning, especially on hard courts, because the advantage at the net is often the key to scoring, which is very similar to volleyball.

However, the frequency of the double baseline tactic is not low. When the two partners are confident in their baseline hitting skills, they can confuse the opponent through such a position, disrupt the opponent's coverage of the net, and find gaps to break the balance more easily.

Obviously, the two players in the Gao Wen combination have world-class baseline abilities.

The Bryan brothers also realized that the game at the tactical level was becoming more and more tense, especially at the end of the first set, when Gawain used tactical layout to seize the initiative, causing the Bryan brothers to hand over the victory. Now at the end of the second set, they refused to repeat the same mistake.

This time, it was Bob who served.

Bob's serve was even better, but he also knew that on clay courts, it was not easy to suppress the opponent simply by relying on strength and speed.

So, Bob also made adjustments to his serve -

Area 1, inner corner.

The one-handed backhand that suppressed Dimitrov was at a speed of 178 kilometers per hour, which was not fast. The result of sacrificing speed was that Bob hit the landing point accurately.

Tricky and precise, T-spot! (End of this chapter)
