Chapter 131 Power Full

A tennis match, after all, is a confrontation and struggle between two players, so changes happen all the time, and suppression and counterattack are the eternal themes of the game.

For the serving side, before serving, they must observe the opponent's position and state, and then adjust their serving tactics according to the specific situation, not only to avoid serving the ball directly into the opponent's bowl, but also to rearrange the tactics for the offensive connection after serving.

Observation and thinking are things that must be done every second in a tennis match. Once you stop observing and thinking, and just rely on instinct to hit the ball, the game will soon fall into mechanical consumption, and even a strong young player may lose the victory.

Gawain noticed the change in Lipitis's position immediately.

A little surprised.

But what was really surprising was Lipitis's ability to interpret and develop the game. With only two points, he had already started trying different tactical combinations.

This also means that no matter how smart Lipitis is in tennis, at least he is a player who dares to change and try new things, and he will never be rigid.

Gao Wen retracted his gaze and started to dribble the ball, his brain working at high speed.

What is the flat serve?

In fact, every player can hit a flat serve, the only difference is the quality.

Gao Wen has always seldom served flat because of his lack of strength, which resulted in mediocre quality of his serve. Instead, he would easily make a mistake in the first serve, putting himself in a second serve situation. However, with the improvement of his physical attributes, his strength and explosive power have made great progress, and the situation is different.

Although flat serve is still not Gawain's strong point, and there is still a long way to go between him and top serve masters like John Isner and Ivo Karlovic, it can still be an option in Gawain's serve tactics, which can confuse the opponent's judgment and enrich his own game rhythm.

In the opening stage, Gao Wen's physical strength and energy were at their peak, so he used flat serve to open the game.

Now that Lipitis has taken the lead in making changes, should he follow suit or stick to his tactics?

Whoosh! Gao Wen serves.

The mustard yellow tennis ball drew a full arc in the air, flew high over the net, landed in the diagonal service area, and then went towards Lipitis.

Close serve?

Lipitis was already prepared. He took small steps and made continuous adjustments. He immediately turned his body to the side and created space, preparing to receive the ball with his backhand. Because the backhand lead-in action is relatively small and the two-handed backhand action is more stable, he was still able to touch the ball in a hurry.

but!

Drill! Oops!

After the tennis ball landed on the ground, it spun sideways strongly and deviated from its original flight trajectory.

It was not a flat serve, but a side-spin serve, as if it had been anticipated that Lipitis would choose to receive the ball with his backhand. Then the strong side-spin made the tennis ball pass over the central axis of Lipitis's center of gravity and fly strongly towards the right side of Lipitis's body.

If Lipitis chooses to receive the ball on his forehand, then a direct swing will be enough.

But Lipitis chose to receive the ball with his backhand, so he had to readjust his steps, and...

Damn it!

Only then did Lipitis realize that there was no time and no space. Because of his stepping forward, the space for returning the serve had already been compressed. Then Gawain disrupted the rhythm with an unexpected serve, and Lipitis's secondary reaction could not keep up with the flying speed of the tennis ball.

Chi.

Lipitis only had time to put the racket in front of him to block it, like a shield blocking the attack. He had no space or time to swing the racket.

whoosh.

The tennis ball flew straight into the air and into the audience seats.

The spectators in the stands started to stir, and one by one they stood up, trying to grab the baseball—oh, not a baseball but a tennis ball.

"40:0".

Lipitis stood there with his hands on his hips, showing a helpless smile, and turned to look at where his teammates were gathered, casting a puzzled look: Since when did Gawain's serve become so powerful?

But no one could give an answer.

The game goes on.

On the next point, Gawain sent another outside corner shot—

The angle and speed were not completely torn apart, but the pursuit of landing point, but the difference is that this time the outside corner was aimed at Lipitis' backhand.

Lipitis' backhand is obviously more stable than his forehand, just like Gao Wen. Seeing that it was the outside corner, he had already prepared for the two-handed backhand. He was even a little excited because this was the first time his backhand could be used since the start of the game.

Therefore, the entire racket-leading and racket-swinging movements were very full and stable. Even when facing Gao Wen's first serve, thanks to Gao Wen's lack of pursuit of speed and angle, he had enough space to hit the ball. The lateral pull of two big steps was accurate and in place, and then he hit the ball powerfully.

Bang! The entire hitting action was very full, and you could hear it from the sound of the hitting. The tennis ball turned into a beam of light and flew diagonally.

Lipitis felt a sense of surprise deep in his heart: Finally! He finally completed a complete shot! And the angle and speed were perfect!

However, the surprise just came out, the next second, Lipitis saw Gao Wen already appeared on his return line -

After early planning, everything was within Gao Wen's expectations, including his backhand diagonal shot.

After serving, Gao Wen immediately started moving sideways.

Lipitis' backhand is indeed stable, but he is used to hitting diagonally and rarely hits in a straight line; plus, Gawain's serve sets a trap, with average power and speed, but with increased spin, forcing Lipitis to hit the ball diagonally. If Lipitis forces himself to hit in a straight line, the strong spin will most likely cause the ball to go directly out of bounds.

In this way, the advantages of the layout are fully revealed.

Gawain's early movement gave him the upper hand. Even though Lipitis' backhand return was fast and heavy, he still caught up with it. And while running quickly sideways, he had already started to lead the racket with both hands, matching the rhythm of his steps. His backhand was like a cannon: swung with all his strength, with a full arc and complete movements.

At the moment the racket touched the tennis ball, the left leg made an emergency brake, and the power from the sole of the foot extended up along the muscles. The power of the whole body was fully attached to the racket and concentrated towards the tennis ball. At the moment of the racket, the wrist was slightly turned outward, and the body pressed forward as the swing of the racket was completed.

Whoosh! Boom! Lipitis's two-handed backhand was powerful and heavy, but Gawain's two-handed backhand was faster and heavier, and a solid diagonal line turned into a straight line, instantly turning the situation around.

Bang! The tennis ball hit the ground and became a dead ball. Lipitis had just started walking and was still halfway between the tennis ball and the ball, so he was powerless to save the situation.

"Game, great!"

In the first game, Gao Wen delivered a love game and won easily without even breaking a sweat.
