"30:30".

The game was stalemate, and in Gawain's must-win serve, the score was still difficult to decide. Although Gawain was improving, Wawrinka was also firm in his belief, and his offensive touch was still hot and he continued to fire at full power.

As we go back and forth, we reach the critical point——

The next point, game point or match point? Philippe Chatrier is like a pressure cooker that keeps accumulating, the pressure rolling under the gradually thickening clouds.

Although the whole place was silent, one could still clearly feel the raging waves.

Zone 1.

Outside corner.

One shot and successfully entered the zone.

Wawrinka's reflex was very timely. He rushed out as soon as he kicked his feet, and was ready to attack directly with his forehand. Under the cover of the hot feel, Wawrinka's attack became more and more confident and bold.

but!

Before he finished swinging his racket, Wawrinka realized that the situation was not good: Gawain had increased his speed. Without warning, Gawain gave up using spin and chose to hit the ball flat, increasing his first serve speed to over 190 kilometers per hour.

This was obviously a premeditated layout.

Wawrinka tried to attack the serve, but found that he was hit head-on before he could complete his swing, which was like a car accident.

As you can imagine, the parabola of the return ball cannot be suppressed.

In the crisis, the only thing Wawrinka could do was to use his touch to control it a little, barely pulling a little topspin, and making a half circle above his head, hoping that the downward arc of the parabola could reach the baseline.

Then.

Wawrinka just stood there, bent his knees, held the racket with both hands, made a defensive posture, and watched the tennis ball rise, but his feet did not move. From this small detail, it can be seen that Wawrinka's interpretation and performance in defense are indeed far inferior to that in offense.

Tennis balls flew across the sky, rising high and falling heavily.

Wow! With the whole audience exclaiming, the tennis ball unexpectedly landed on the baseline on Gao Wen's side. The return ball that was about to go out of bounds actually touched the line, and it touched a third of the ball. The final topspin pulled back the parabola inconceivably, and sent the tennis ball back into the bounds again.

Maybe, Wawrinka is indeed not good at defense, but Wawrinka, who was playing like crazy today, can still create miracles with his hot hand.

Originally, this serve was almost enough to result in a direct score; but now, the ball under the line left Gao Wen with the problem of a high-pressure ball from the baseline.

The landing point is deep enough; at the same time, the height after rebounding is high enough, which squeezes Gao Wen's hitting space in both vertical and horizontal dimensions, creating an unexpected excellent effect. The positions of advantages and disadvantages are also converted. This is the strength shown by Wawrinka in his super god state.

Moreover, it is not just this one game. From Berdych to Federer and now Gawain, Wawrinka has shown top touch in three consecutive games. Even as the game progresses, his condition keeps getting better and better, and in a trance, he dreams of Melbourne Park at the beginning of last year.

Gawain was indeed squeezed, but he was also ready.

When the tennis ball is flying in the air, the continuous adjustment of small steps plays a role. You must never be lazy with your steps. Only in this way can you find the best hitting point for yourself and always maintain your advantage during the transition between offense and defense.

With a push, a jump! While stepping back to create distance, Gao Wen lightly jumped, trying to adjust the hitting point without losing position, and started at the shoulder.

Sweep, exert force——

High point attack.

Gao Wen seized the opportunity with his forehand and launched a serve attack, hitting the ball directly to the left of Wawrinka's position.

This is a one shot layout.

Gawain deliberately did not create an angle or choose to return the ball, but instead hit the ball back towards the center of the court to disrupt Wawrinka's defensive judgment. This might cause his footwork to be misplaced, either running too far or not reaching the right position, affecting the subsequent swing and the effect of the ball.

Use this method to disrupt Wawrinka's attack.

The tactic worked!

Wawrinka's footwork lacked detailed adjustments. He moved in a hurry and obviously ran too far. By the time he realized it, it was too late to adjust.

Wawrinka almost crashed into the tennis ball. Even though he braked suddenly to control his body and barely squeezed out a little pitiful space for swinging the racket, the process from backswing to swinging the racket still seemed hasty. Moreover, his arms were tucked near his chest, making it difficult for him to complete an effective swing in the backhand position.

Step! With one kick, Gawain rushed out like an arrow from a bow.

When players are restricted in their backhand swing space, especially one-handed backhand players, in order to accumulate enough power to complete the shot, they often need to stretch their entire chest to create space for the arms to open and stretch, so the diagonal line should be a high probability event.

Moreover, players like Federer and Wawrinka who are also lethal with their one-handed backhand are often able to hit the ball out of the diagonal position with a shallow landing point and a large angle. Even if their power and speed are slightly inferior, they can still create winning points through angles and are equally lethal.

In other words, they don't worry at all about their backhand diagonal shot being discovered. Even if it is discovered, they can still create enough advantages.

Gao Wen's defense needs to be timely, quick to shoot, and resolute.

Pushing off the ground, sprinting, like a gust of wind.

However--

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Gao Wen noticed Wawrinka's hitting action from the corner of his eye. He made an abrupt stop and turn, from braking to control to starting, all the actions were done in one go.

Unfortunately, it’s too late.

Backslash.

Wawrinka's one-handed backhand hit another magical shot.

When the swing action has been compressed to the extreme, it is entirely dependent on muscle strength and swing speed to complete the transmission. The speed and power suppression at the moment of the racket directly releases the energy to hit the tennis ball, abandoning the diagonal line that goes with the flow and choosing the more difficult reverse diagonal line to send a return ball.

The ball was amazing! Although Gawain reacted promptly, Wawrinka's shot actually cut into the remote area of ​​the bottom line triangle, escaped Gawain's defense area, and hit the ball accurately into the boundary, winning the point.

"30:40".

Match point has arrived.

The whole audience exclaimed.

ability!

The last ball was purely a skill ball, without any fancy moves or techniques. It was a hard and powerful skill ball, which fully demonstrated Wawrinka's superb attacking skills in this game. Obviously, there was no space for hitting the ball, but he still relied on his ability, condition and touch to fight his way out.

Any time, any player, any game, when you see a shot like this, the only thing you can do is -

applaud!

Gawain controlled his body, watched the tennis ball go into the blind corner, then raised his hands high, applauded Wawrinka, and a smile rose on the corner of his mouth.

Yes, with the outcome of this point, Gao Wen is about to face the test of match point.

Yes, from the third set to the fourth set, Wawrinka was already on a killing spree and Gawain really didn't have many chances.

But this did not affect Gawain's enjoyment of the game, and he sincerely applauded Wawrinka's amazing performance.

So, just when people thought the game couldn't get any more exciting, Wawrinka and Gawain once again set the scene on fire with their unparalleled performance.
