Sprint, run, and increase your speed.

With a gust of lightning, Gao Wenhua crossed the entire field in a streak of white light. Although his speed had been increased to the limit, he was still very passive.

A sideways forehand attack means that Gawain gives up the entire forehand position, but he forgets that this is grass. Dimitrov gives up the drive and chooses a backhand slice instead. A straight line penetrates Gawain's defense and turns the situation around.

In the final analysis, it is still due to the lack of experience in grass court competitions. During the competition, the ever-changing situation brought severe tests, and the brain's thinking and layout were far from enough, and some blind spots were inevitable.

There is no problem during training, and there is no problem when discussing tactics on paper, but actual combat is another matter.

Thus, Gawain fell into a passive position.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the cutting speed is not fast, which leaves room for maneuver and does not directly result in a winning point.

Gawain ran all the way.

Trample, tramp, the air is burning and the world is turning upside down.

Step! With the last big stride, Gawain arrived successfully. Although his footsteps were in place, Dimitrov's slice had a strong backspin, and the height after the rebound was limited, leaving almost no space for Gawain to swing his racket.

Therefore, Gao Wen was forced to only use a forehand cut.

Just as he was about to hit the ball, Gawain quickly scanned the field with his peripheral vision to determine the gap, and he saw a white figure pressing down on him.

Go online.

Dimitrov once again demonstrated his understanding and comprehension of grass. After cutting a straight line with his backhand, he rushed forward to the net without stopping, following the cutting motion.

While observing Gawain's movements, he adjusted his own position.

He moved forward in a straight line and slowly towards the midfield, exuding the desire to rush forward and exert pressure, with his attention highly focused.

This is not good news for Gawain.

alarm!

Returning the ball already faces many challenges, and now he has to face the pressure from Dimitrov at the net, so what should he choose?

In a rapidly changing game, any hesitation could lead to a huge mistake. Gao Wen had no time to hesitate and was not prepared to look back.

everything.

Bang! The racket hit the ground directly, mainly because Dimitrov's return ball bounced too low, leaving almost no space for hitting the ball. Even if the racket hit the ground, it still didn't land well enough, and the hitting action was not completed.

Then, the tennis ball rubbed against the strings and flew back with a violent spin.

Diagonal line, high.

Gao Wen's cutting is very skillful. He controls the parabola through the angle of the racket, half cutting, pushing and half lifting to pull the tennis ball up in an arc.

Spin! Float! The tennis ball was flying shakily, like a dead leaf drifting in a storm, rising slowly in a diagonal direction and rushing past quickly.

When the tennis ball passes over the net, the height has already passed the shoulder level and is still rising, and it does not seem to have reached its highest point.

Wait, judging from the parabola, in order to avoid Dimitrov's volley at the net, Gawain seemed to have over-controlled the return shot, and it was very likely to go directly out of bounds.

However, Dimitrov’s compact and agile steps got close in the first place.

Because he knew that Gao Wen had perfect control over the rotation and landing point of the tennis ball. With the rapid drop over the net and the violent rotation, it was very likely that the landing point of the tennis ball would be controlled within the bounds.

If we judge based on common sense, we may often make big mistakes.

Then, Dimitrov appeared.

Move, jump.

Stretch and extend.

From the field of vision, we can see Dimitrov using the power of his running start to jump directly up, and he is still moving forward, almost close to the net, trying to grab the hitting point before the tennis ball continues to rise; then, with a movement like an eagle spreading its wings, his forehand has touched the tennis ball at the extreme extension.

A touch and a rub.

Dimitrov did not use his full strength, but instead used the strength of his wrist to gently rub the ball, cutting out a diagonal line that flew parallel to the net.

Small ball.

Not only did it stick to the net, but it also unleashed force perfectly. There was almost no bounce after it landed, and all the energy was swallowed up by the grass in an instant.

On the other side, even though Gawain started immediately, it was still too late.

Land and jump twice.

Break point, cash in.

Wow! In an instant, the entire Stadium No. 1 was boiling with excitement. Everyone stood up and applauded, raised their arms and cheered. A surging heat wave hovered over the stadium, and the world was boiling with excitement.

After more than ten minutes of entanglement, the game points and break points went back and forth. In the end, Gao Wen and Dimitrov presented a beautiful attack and defense round.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

It was not a collision of strength, but it fully demonstrated the collision of skills and tactics, presenting the elegance and unrestrainedness of grass tennis. Dimitrov, who had a better understanding of the characteristics of grass, had the last laugh, successfully seized the initiative, won a crucial point, and was the first to break the serve in this game.

Buzz...

The brain roars, and is subconsciously released through clapping and cheering.

Plan is no exception.

She was very sorry, very very sorry; but she still had to admit that Dimitrov performed better in this game, and the last point was absolutely wonderful and deserved all the applause.

On the court, Dimitrov did not cheer or celebrate, but just clenched his fists slightly, with bright eyes, conveying a sense of determination.

Similarly, Gao Wen was not frustrated or disappointed. He was slightly stunned, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he applauded Dimitrov for his wonderful performance.

During the exchanges, one can very briefly feel the healthy competitive atmosphere between the two friends, applauding their opponent's excellence while believing that they can fight back with even better performance.

Then, without any further communication, the two players turned around and continued to prepare for the next game.

Plan thought she would be so nervous that she would suffocate. She thought she would want to run away. After all, this was how it had always been when she watched the live broadcast at home. But when she was actually at the scene, she didn't have such thoughts. The cheers and enthusiasm of the audience made her excited as well, and her fighting spirit began to burn.

Then, Plan also stood up and clapped his hands continuously, praising Dimitrov and cheering for Gawain.

The game has just begun, hasn't it?

——“2:0”.

The start of this round of 16 match was a little unexpected but not that unexpected. Dimitrov played at his best in the opening stage. Breaking the serve and taking the lead was a natural result. He made his voice heard in this way:

He came for victory.

Facing Gao Wen, Dimitrov was full of fighting spirit, more focused, more committed and more relaxed. His opening performance showed his abilities to the fullest.

Then, in Dimitrov's serving game, his excellent serve and smooth attack still showed a super high level, and the overall performance was completely smooth. Although he lost a point due to his own offensive error, he still successfully held his serve.

Gao Wen still couldn't find a way to actively attack in Dimitrov's serve. After all, breaking the serve is the primary problem facing him. If the quality of his serve is not high, there will be no way to talk about the subsequent layout.

In the blink of an eye, "3:0".

Is this kind of opening unexpected?
