Philippe Chatrier Stadium: …
The faces, with their mouths slightly open, moved left and right like bobbleheads following the bouncing of the tennis ball, but made no sound.
Compared with hard courts, the variability and uncertainty of clay courts are fully demonstrated at this moment. Even in the same baseline tug-of-war, there are countless possibilities. After the different choices of techniques, methods, and lines collide with the clay court, more changes will be derived, which is full of surprises at all times.
The audience in Paris knows how to appreciate the magic and charm of tennis on red clay, so at this moment, they are all intoxicated.
Gao Wen's unexpected return choice directly pushed Tim to the cliff, and then you can see——
Run wildly.
Sprint.
Turned into a gust of wind.
Tim's figure running across the field was like a 100-meter sprint. In the midst of the dust, his figure had already moved all the way from the left side to the right side.
His body has been completely pulled out of the doubles line, and he needs to move forward two steps vertically. Thiem is not good at the net, and he is used to staying at the baseline. Therefore, he did not enter the front half court simply because of this return ball. His feet just entered the baseline and completed the sweeping swing from top to bottom.
jump!
Take off!
...Sweep! Strength, strength, and strength again. Tim, with his footwork extremely passive, took advantage of the inertia of the sprint to soar into the air and continued to exert strength.
Sweeping attack, full force, absolutely tough——
From top to bottom.
Dimensionality reduction attack.
Tim simply threw his body out, adding his own weight and sprinting speed to the swing, completing another heavy hammer attack.
Meteorite falling!
The tennis ball once again hit the deep area of the court on Gao Wen's side.
Judging from the line selection, Thiem tried to hit a straight line, forcing Gao Wen to save the ball while moving, and even directly create a winning point.
But the effect is far from satisfactory.
Because Thiem's body was off the ground, his center of gravity was unstable, and he was moving at high speed, so his control over the ball was loose, and in the end his straight shot did not meet expectations. The tennis ball landed in the middle area on Gawain's side, neither left nor right, leaving some room for counterattack.
At this point, we can see Gawain's tennis wisdom. Facing Tim's aggressive and powerful attack, he took advantage of every opportunity to create opportunities for himself.
Gawain, the steps are already in place, but——
Coming towards you.
The power, speed, and rotation all collided together, forming a mighty wave of air, like a hurricane, which could almost knock Gawain over.
Although Gawain's footsteps were in place, the pressure of the ball was extremely clear. In the tiebreak of the third set, Thiem's shots were still solid and heavy, and he is worthy of being the representative of the new generation of "physical demon king".
Even though Gawain knew clearly about Tim's physical reserves and strength, he was still shocked when he really felt it.
It’s different. It’s really different.
This time, Gao Wen did not choose a forehand, but used both hands to backhand and took a hard shot.
One.
One push.
It is obvious that Gao Wen's hitting action was squeezed, and he could only rely on his hands to support the stability of the racket to complete the push and hit it back with force.
With this shot, Thiem showed his style of violent baseline hitting to the fullest. Under the suppression of absolute power, Gawain did not have much room to display his changes. It was precisely because of this that Thiem became more determined to insist on playing power ball, and he was stubborn to the end.
Then.
The tennis ball was pushed back in a straight line, back to the center of Thiem's court. It was basically a straight-forward route that hit the wall. Gawain did not try to create an angle again.
One is to increase the tempo again, create pressure, and use the reaction force to form a counterattack.
The second is to choose the middle road to break Tim's defensive rhythm. If the angle is opened, Tim's steps moving back and forth will have formed inertia, which will allow Tim to continue to use the inertia of the sprint to complete the force.
really!
Although Thiem's footsteps returned quickly, the return ball in the middle interrupted the rhythm of the left and right movements, so that Thiem's footsteps control was a little messy, his heels were not stable, and he completed the shot in the swaying chaos.
Still working hard.
The more chaotic and passive the situation was, the more Thiem wanted to exert force, trying to use strength to calm everything down, and hit the tennis ball back with his forehand again.
Unfortunately, this time, the power and rotation were sufficient, but the landing point and line were too conservative.
Chance!
The return ball went in a straight line and returned to Gawain's midfield, which meant that Gawain's previous shot was successful. The wisdom of his brain once again tore a gap, and he immediately raised his two-handed backhand.
Although Thiem's return shot landed deep enough, it still squeezed Gao Wen; but this time Gao Wen didn't need to move. He adjusted the space in front of him with small steps, and immediately raised his two-handed backhand and hit hard.
Make an effort.
attack.
oppression.

Slash!
Gao Wen aimed at the big triangle on the left side of Tim's baseline and launched an attack. He turned the situation around when he got the chance, pressing forward and sweeping horizontally, and the attack was fully released.
Ah! There was a surge of exclamations at the scene. From Tim's advantage to Gawain's turnaround from defense to offense, everything changed so fast that it was hard to keep up.
Every shot could change the situation on the court. The movement was so fast and fierce that there was no room to breathe.
Tap tap...
Tap, tap, tap! Tim ran like lightning, his light and agile footsteps pushed his speed to the extreme.
A forward charge.
A step forward.
At this point, it can be seen that Tim is unique in his one-handed backhand handling of the ball. He can often rely on the "open" hitting action of the upper body to fully release the energy of the chest muscle expansion and create a whipping effect without fully reaching his footsteps.
BANG! It was like thunder.
Even more, because of the complete stretch of the batting action, the body's center of gravity will complete a transfer along with the turning action, from the left leg to the right leg, and the leg strength will be transferred and increased again, using the whole body movement to complete the batting, which is chic and stretching, and is a complete enjoyment of strength and beauty.
Not only did Thiem not passively defend, but he launched a desperate thundering attack on the edge of the cliff, once again completing the whip attack with a one-handed backhand.
From active to passive and then back to active, Tim bought time through his footwork, completely ignoring Gawain's layout and forced his force again.
The collision of power created a rolling wave of air. In the air, one could clearly see the exploding hairs of the tennis ball flying in the sun.
As fast as lightning, the tennis ball rushed out, dragging a long tail.
Slash.
Blind spot.
Topspin.
He drilled into the extreme position of the big triangle on the left bottom line of Gao Wen, and his shot was deep, tricky, heavy and spinning. Still, he did not use any fancy moves, and did not take risks to try to change the line. He purely relied on strength to suppress, with his toughness and domineering attitude of using force to defeat skill. His steady and powerful shot hit the ground like a shock wave.
Landed.
release.
Then--
Buzz.
There was only a roar.
Even though Gawain had quickly gotten to the right position, it was already... too late. There was no space to swing the racket or hit the ball, and the tennis ball had already jumped out.
Score, belongs to Thiem.
