Chapter 1383 Instant Speed Up
Puran felt like he was going to vomit.
My stomach was so tense that it was cramping, the food ingredients from lunch seemed to be churning, and I could taste the residue in my throat, which was not pleasant at all.
Tensed, exciting, apprehensive, anxious, on the verge of exploding.
Plan thought she could watch the game with a normal mind. It didn't matter who won, as she had no burden and could watch the game with peace of mind.
However, that was not the case. As the game progressed bit by bit, the balance in his heart had tilted towards one side. Every time he scored, he couldn't help but cheer and celebrate. Every time he faced difficulties, he couldn't help but clench his fists, and his wildly beating heart could no longer bear it.
By the time she reacted, she had already stood behind the man, cheering for him, supporting him, praying for him, and blooming for him.
Now, the opportunity has come, the opportunity to break the serve, and twice in a row.
Plan didn't dare to look.
She kept thinking whether she should hide in the bathroom so that Gao Wen's game could go more smoothly, but she was reluctant to move. Conflicting and turbulent thoughts were pulling at her in her mind. Before she could make a decision, the two players were ready to continue the battle.
Panickingly, Plan closed his eyes, held his breath, remained quiet, and listened attentively to the sound of the ball hitting the ball from the TV.
Bang! Tsonga, serve!
Bang! Gao Wen, receive the serve!
Bang! Tsonga, back!
Then……
Wow! The whole stadium cheered, the heat was rolling, and then what? Plan's heart was in his throat, and he opened his eyes in panic. On the TV screen, he could see Tsonga clenching his fists and looking at the audience with a firm gaze, bathing in the overwhelming cheers and roars of the whole stadium. The layers of dark clouds covering the sky above the Philippe Chatrier Stadium added a touch of majestic momentum.
Tsonga looked like a bloodthirsty warrior.
"30:40".
The score numbers are the most intuitive, proving that Tsonga easily saved a break point.
What's going on?
Plan's heart froze on the spot, and the broadcaster knew that they could not miss such a wonderful point, so they played it back in slow motion.
Area 1, outer corner.
After continuously suppressing Gao Wen's backhand, Tsonga suppressed Gao Wen's forehand again, and this time the quality of his serve was good, directly pulling Gao Wen out of the singles sideline.
However, Gawain maintained a high level of concentration, and his conditioned reflexes were very timely. He leaped out with one push, and was in position with one big stride.
But, on the other side of the court, Tsonga chose...
Serve and volley.
At the critical moment, Tsonga chose the most classic and traditional serve-and-volley tactic, turning all his talents into a sense of oppression.
Tsonga is big, strong and sturdy. Once he gets to the net, the pressure is really great, which also creates more difficulties for Gawain to receive the serve.
For the receiving side, they are already in a passive position and need to adjust their hitting technique in a hurry and worry about the pressure in front of the net, which often leads to bad shots or even mistakes.
Especially in an era where the baseline is king, the suddenness of serve and volley can achieve more unexpected results and fully realize the power of serve.
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is particularly good at this.
In a flash, Gawain still made a bold and excellent choice, making a quick pull with his forehand, tearing out a large diagonal, trying to break the net from Tsonga's forehand, find a line and a landing point, and turn the situation around.
However, Tsonga took a big step, stretched his whole body to the extreme, and just lightly touched everything with the head of the racket to hit a perfect little ball.
This time, Gawain did not continue chasing because it was too late.
Tsonga once again showed his delicate touch for the small ball at the net. His unloading, rotation, control and so on were all perfect, leaving no chance for Gao Wen.
Obviously, at the critical moment, Tsonga also realized the subtle changes in the situation, so he also improved his state. The little universe that was almost emptied of energy was burning again. With full concentration, from serving to moving to hitting the ball, the overall quality was raised to a higher level and he controlled the situation.
Although the quality of the shots could not match that of the first and second sets, it had made a strong recovery compared to the third and fourth sets.
Tsonga, here comes the trump card.
It is also because of this that the first two hits sound very solid and crisp, while the third hit sound is very soft and light.
Then--
The whole audience was boiling.
Tsonga once again completed Tsonga-style scoring and easily ignited the Philippe Chatrier Stadium. Combined with the scene of dark clouds gathering on the scene, it really felt like standing at the end of the world and reveling wantonly. The overwhelming momentum and pressure also made people's blood boil.
call.
Plan let out a breath lightly, constantly comforting himself and cheering himself on. There was still one break point and one break point left. For the next point, he just had to take it one step at a time starting from receiving the serve. It didn't matter. Gao Wen still had the chance and the trend of this game was still unpredictable.

His attention was so focused that even Plan paused in his attempt to run to the bathroom, unable to help but take one more look.
Tsonga, serve.
Zone 2, one shot.
Outside corner.
In the previous point, Tsonga had adjusted his serving tactics. He no longer insisted on suppressing Gao Wen's backhand, but returned to his forehand and served to the net.
In the next point, Tsonga continued to adjust and fully demonstrated the advantage of his serve. Choosing the outside corner to suppress the backhand was not the purpose, but an auxiliary, just to disrupt Gao Wen's prediction. The real serving strategy was -
Reduce force.
Tsonga did not choose to hit the ball hard in the first serve, but chose to reduce the force, lowering the speed to 180 kilometers per hour; moreover, the angle was not completely pulled away.
The landing point was indeed on Gao Wen's backhand, but the angle was not extreme, that is, it was a little further out from the close serving area, that's all.
The entire tactical intention is clear, which is to break the rhythm of the confrontation by reducing the power of the serve and disrupt Gao Wen's tactical layout in the serve and receive phase.
Gao Wen was indeed tricked.
Move, draw the racket, and turn.
The whole reaction was done in one go. He was ready to hit the ball, but found that Tsonga's serve had not arrived yet.
Of course, this description is a bit exaggerated. When actually hitting the ball, the difference is only one or two milliseconds, which is really difficult to distinguish with the naked eye; but a misalignment in timing will indeed affect the judgment of the hitting point and timing, and professionals can see it.
In Koeman's games, this kind of clever serving strategy can often be seen, and now, Tsonga is using Koeman's strategy against Koeman.
Gao Wen: ??? Actually, Gao Wen’s footwork was in place, and his racket swing was ready, but the tennis ball was just a little bit slow; moreover, the rebound height when landing was also lower than expected. The ball should have been hit from the chest to the waist, but the tennis ball hardly bounced, forcing Gao Wen to try to hit the ball from the knee to the thigh area, which also meant that the center of gravity of the whole body was not right.
The hitting point, the center of gravity, the timing of hitting the ball, all were wrong.
Oops.
Oops, oops, oops!
