Chapter 1272 Surprise Climb to the Top

The first is the details, the second is the key.

From these two points, it can be seen that among the four players in today's doubles final, Pospisil is indeed the weakest link.

Be it talent or strength, no matter what the root cause, the shortcomings shown by Pospisil have indeed become a turning point that breaks the balance.

In the middle of the second set, Gawain's shots added more rotation changes. At this time, Pospisil, who was eager to turn the situation around, seemed to be eager for success. From observation to judgment, from shooting to control, the roughness and simplicity of the entire shot response slowly surfaced and there was no place to hide.

Generally speaking, players who come from the North American hard court training system often have rough basic skills - relatively speaking, but it is particularly obvious in the case of Pospisil.

Pospisil suffered from Gawain's spin shots four times: three forehand shots and one backhand shot.

The ball was either out of bounds or into the net. Fundamentally, his observation and judgment of the rotation were wrong, which resulted in inaccurate shots.

Pospisil, defeated by himself.

In this way, Gawain completely wore out the last bit of fighting spirit left in Pospisil, and then there was no suspense in the game anymore.

The last point of the game, also the first match point, was quite dramatic.

Gao Wen serves and Sock receives.

Seeing that the game was over, Sok chose to fight for the serve, forcing a sideways forehand attack and grabbing the serve, and unexpectedly created an opportunity.

After a fierce fight, he successfully pushed the ball above the bottom line.

Gawain, caught off guard.

A second ago, he had just finished serving and had not had time to regain his position.

The next second, Sok's serve came like a missile and hit him directly at his feet.

Moreover, the ball hitting the line, because of the different materials of the side lines of the clay court, further causes irregular bounces, and the rising curve of the rebound is prone to variation.

Gawain, in a state of dismay.

In a hurry, Gao Wen had no time to adjust his steps. He relied entirely on his upper body for support, swung the racket in a small forehand range, and completed a rebound hit in the narrow space beside him. He leaned back to increase the friction time between the racket and the tennis ball as much as possible, and attached the rotation to complete the ultimate shot.

After hitting the ball, Gawain seemed to be blown away by the air wave, and he jumped backwards to barely control his center of gravity.

The tennis ball draws a thrilling trajectory across the court.

However--

Although Gawain tried his best to rub, space and time were still too compact, and the friction was insufficient, so the parabola could not be fully pulled up.

Pospisil's chance.

Simply put, Gawain's return ball failed to form a high parabola, which gave Pospisil the opportunity to make a high-pressure interception in front of the net.

The 193-centimeter-tall Pospisil stood in front of the net like a giant. With a few small sideways steps, he successfully reached the position.

Here, he can use high-pressure smashes or sideways interceptions, and he can complete the shot smoothly with different techniques without much difficulty.

However, Pospisil took a look at the arc of Gawain's shot, made a judgment, and then let it go: Actually! Just like that! Let it go!

Just before the shot was fired, Pospisil made his judgment, re-took the racket, and let the tennis ball fly out with a slight move.

Obviously, from Pospisil's perspective, Gawain's return shot would go directly out of bounds, so there was no need for him to take any risks.

Judging from the parabola, it seems to be the case.

The tennis ball is indeed flying towards the deep baseline, and its parabola shows no signs of falling, so it is very likely to fly straight out.

At this time, Sok, who had just finished receiving the serve, was at the net, preparing to rush forward, and then he saw the tennis ball flying towards him like a feather arrow.

What happened? Sock was not on the trajectory of the tennis ball. His body was moving forward and his head was moving backward. He turned his head along with the tennis ball and involuntarily jumped high.

It was as if he could possess the tennis ball. All he had to do was jump and the tennis ball's flying arc would continue to soar.

In an instant, time and space froze.

Sok flew up, and Pospisil also flew up, and both of them were in a suspended state.

Dimitrov is charging forward, Gawain is also charging forward, and both are in a defensive state.

Four people, four pairs of eyes, and all the attention in the audience was focused on the tennis ball.

at this time--

The tennis ball had already flown near the baseline, but then it quickly fell down, making an arc that fell straight off a cliff, like Captain Blackbeard's hook.

Falling.

Smash down.

The tennis ball hit the baseline accurately, splashing up a cloud of dust.

The charm of rotation on the clay court is displayed to the fullest. Although it is obviously impossible, it seems to break the laws of physics and write an incredible trajectory.

Boom! The whole audience was shocked.

In an instant, one, two, or three figures could be seen standing up with their arms raised high and cheering.

However, there was no sound at all, he just stared at the court with wide eyes in disbelief, shock and astonishment continuing to surge deep in his eyes.

Match point, cash in.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

“7:5”, “6:0”.

The game is over.

2015 Monte Carlo Masters doubles champion, Gao Wen/Grigor Dimitrov combination.

Unbelievable!

All this is really incredible!

Although Gao Wen lost to Ferrer in the singles match and was eliminated in the quarterfinals, ending his 18-game winning streak in the Masters, he was unable to continue writing history.

However, Gao Wen continued his top performance on the Masters stage in the doubles arena, partnering with Dimitrov to defeat the first seed, fifth seed, fourth seed and second seed in succession, clinching the championship with an unparalleled performance and completing a gorgeous transition from hard court to clay.

Applause, thunder.

Not to mention the audience, even Gawain himself couldn't believe it.

He had to admit that this point was more or less due to luck, because everything was an instinctive reaction and he himself could not be sure of the effect of the shot.

Finally, when the tennis ball made a falling arc comparable to that of a banana ball and entered the court, Gawain's shock and surprise were no less than anyone else's.

Dimitrov's eyes widened, he turned around, raised his arms, loosened his right hand, dropped the racket, and then looked at Gawain, joy just surged up.

Gao Wen's first reaction was to look at his partner and ask with his eyes, "In the boundary?"

Dimitrov nodded vigorously in the affirmative.

Ha! Laughter surged in my chest.

Hahaha.

So, champion?

Dimitrov clenched his fists and cheered: Yes, champion! Gao Wen still couldn't believe it, so he threw away his racket and ran towards his partner. The two of them jumped up in tacit understanding:

Take off and collide.

The two of them also did the Bryan brothers' signature chest-bumping celebration, and then smiles bloomed on their faces.

Dimitrov looked at Gawain again and repeated, "Champion?"

Gao Wen laughed out loud.

It was clear that Dimitrov had just confirmed with Gawain, but when he turned around, it was Gawain's turn to confirm with Dimitrov.

It can be seen that this doubles championship was an unexpected surprise for both players.

Who could have thought that this year's first clay court Masters would end in this way?
