Chapter 1352: Violent Hitting

As expected!

Tim also attacked directly after receiving the first serve.

On the first serve, Gao Wen chose the inside corner to suppress Thiem's ​​backhand.

Thiem's ​​one-handed backhand is the only violent forehand in the entire ATP tour that can be compared with Wawrinka, but there are slight differences between the two players. Wawrinka has more flat shots and Thiem has more spin. However, this is only relative. Both players' backhands can hit clean and violent winners.

However, "violence" is one thing, and the uncertainty of a one-handed backhand always objectively exists, so when facing them, backhand confrontation is always a key point; moreover, Wawrinka and Thiem are both typical players whose forehand attack is stronger than their backhand, and their style of attacking with both hands throughout the court is indeed very special.

188 kilometers per hour.

The speed is not fast. You can tell at a glance that Gawain is looking for the landing point, suppressing the backhand through the inner corner and disrupting Thiem's ​​intention to attack when receiving the serve.

However, Thiem still attacked: the factor of attack was deeply imprinted in his blood.

With a push and a rush, Tim took a big step and flew out, and his one-handed backhand was already pushed a little quickly.

In the short time between serving and receiving, Thiem did not have enough space to complete a full swing, but fortunately, compared to his forehand, Thiem's ​​backhand swing was slightly smaller; moreover, his wrist strength was exceptionally good, and with a slight shake, he successfully hit the tennis ball back with the force of the swing.

Like a pinball.

Backslash! Tim aimed directly at the big triangle of Gawain's forehand baseline, preparing to squeeze Gawain's hitting action, and while Gawain's serve action has not yet returned to position, he used the landing point to destroy Gawain's hitting space.

Bold.

direct.

Sharp.

Gao Wen dared to serve, and Thiem dared to play. The tie-break continued the situation of the third set of strong confrontation.

This should be Thiem's ​​best performance in a year. The match against Gawain really brought out all of Thiem's ​​potential.

His condition and ability have been improved to the extreme. There is no doubt that this is the limit of Tim's ability now, and he is still trying to break the ceiling.

Gawain, on full alert, watched the ball return intently.

Thiem's ​​shot landed deep enough, very close to the baseline, only a foot's distance away; but it was not off enough, and Gawain's serve still restricted Thiem's ​​backhand swing. Thiem was looking for the blind spot in the big triangle on the right side of the baseline, but the final result was unsatisfactory, and there was still a long way to go before the blind spot.

Moreover, Thiem's ​​swing space was limited, and the racket head speed was not fast enough, so he relied entirely on wrist strength to swing the racket. Therefore, the arc of the return ball was not suppressed, and the speed and power could not be increased. This left Gawain with a certain amount of reaction time, and he was unable to push Gawain to the extreme.

I saw——

Small steps, continuous small steps, Gao Wen adjusted his position with a series of small steps, which was dazzling. He basically adjusted his position in the space of an arm's length near his body, quickly pulling his body backwards to leave enough space for the forehand swing, and swung his forehand in a circle along with his moving feet.

Backing away, hitting the ball -

Step! Bang! At the moment of quickly adjusting his stance, Gao Wen swung his racket with a forehand swing. Not only did he not flinch, but he suddenly exerted force:

Forehand attack!

Boom! Power! Impact! Thiem's ​​return serve obviously squeezed Gawain's position, but Gawain was not to be outdone. Instead, he took advantage of the gap when Thiem's ​​return serve was eager to attack but lacked some quality. He retreated while exerting force, and hit the ball with his forehand in a circle, sweeping the enemy with an "Inside-Out" shot, a powerful attack.

Take small steps and retreat.

Stretch and swing your arms.

"Ugh!"

A roar erupted from deep in his dantian. It was not an easy task to exert force while retreating, but Gawain still gritted his teeth and did it.

Across the field!

The tennis ball flew from Gao Wen's right side to Thiem's ​​right side.

Moreover, Gawain not only exerted force, but also directly tore open the angle, relying on the control of his wrist and aiming at the right sideline of Tim to hit.

Landed and hit the line.

Rebound, side spin.

One could clearly hear exclamations from the Philippe Chatrier Stadium, marveling at the fact that Gawain actually aimed at the sideline to hit the ball. It was bold and adventurous enough. This was a standard "Inside-Out" shot, which landed inside the boundary and bounced outside the boundary, making the most of the space on the tennis court.

Tim, run as fast as you can—

In terms of footwork, Thiem can definitely rank among the top three among the new generation of players, because this is the foundation of his entire tactical system, which is solid enough and excellent enough, especially on clay. The use of sliding steps has initially touched the soul, and in time he will be able to be comparable to Nadal.

With a tap and a push, Thiem's ​​sudden stop, turn and second start seemed completely effortless. The lightness of his center of gravity made his steps seem to be floating and flying. Without even raising too much dust and air, his body had already rushed out of the sideline and entered the doubles area, and he completed the forehand lead early.

Pause, emergency brake.

With a rush, the body leans forward.

Thiem showed his natural ability to hit the ball while moving to the fullest, and he didn't even need to wait for his feet to stabilize before hitting the forehand.

Swing and throw quickly.

Not only did Thiem not play conservatively, but he also attacked continuously. Facing Gawain's powerful forehand attack, Thiem added strength again and used the inertia of the moving sprint to complete the force. The overwhelming force hit the tennis ball head-on, and the dullness of the heavy sword without a blade hit the tennis ball hard.

Boom! The tennis ball was almost blown up.

"ah!"

Thiem also roared, fighting back with strength, and with offense. In the third set and the tiebreak, his body was approaching its limit step by step. Every sprint and every exertion required more energy, and the roar that erupted from his body became more violent.

Then, the tennis ball turned into a streak of light and disappeared.

Huh! The Philippe Chatrier Stadium couldn't help but let out a low cry of surprise again, because Thiem's ​​shot was too solid and fierce, comparable to a heavyweight boxing champion's straight punch, a heavy blow, the crisp and violent sound of the shot echoed over the stadium, and the hearts of the audience suddenly contracted -

It was like this punch hit his chest hard.

incredible!

From the first set to the third set tiebreak, Thiem was like a perpetual motion machine, constantly bursting out energy. The release of his strength and endurance was truly amazing. Even though I had been amazed more than once or twice, when I saw it again with my own eyes, I could still feel the surging energy.

Coming towards you.

Then, all eyes were focused on the mustard yellow streak of light, which flew past along with the tennis ball.

Slash.

Deep area.

suppress.

Thiem did not choose the sideline, but continued to suppress Gao Wen's forehand by repeating the landing point, which was fast and heavy, and the whole rhythm was completely improved.

Gao Wen kept adjusting his position with small steps, and made a judgment as soon as he saw the return ball's parabola -

Bottom line squeeze.

Every inch of muscle in the body can deeply feel the layers of power pressing upon him. Even before hitting the ball or moving, one can feel Tim's unreserved violent strokes.

Thor's Hammer!
