Chapter 1610: Resolute Action

Snap——

The serve went into the net, creating a wave of ripples on the white net. The dull sound made Dimitrov's supporters at the scene sigh in regret.

"Shh!"

The audience immediately asked for silence. No one wanted to disrupt Dimitrov's serve rhythm, not even Gawain's supporters. Such a wonderful and entertaining game should not end with a double fault. They still wanted to see a wonderful round.

In a blink of an eye, Court No. 1 became quiet again.

Compared with the other three Grand Slams, the order of the on-site spectators is really impeccable.

The game was not disrupted.

Dimitrov's serve rhythm continued, and then the second serve came.

In this match, facing Gao Wen, Dimitrov encountered a break point for the first time. He also realized the importance of the first serve and tried to speed up. Unfortunately, he pressed too hard and it went directly into the net, which led to him facing the dilemma of a second serve on the break point. So, what should he choose for the second serve this time?

Should he give it a try, try a second serve, and see if he can suppress Gawain? After all, Dimitrov's character is not like that.

But at the same time, he was far from conservative. He had ideas and plans for this second serve and refused to surrender easily on the break point.

Spin and chase.

This time, instead of getting close to the opponent, Dimitrov chased after him and aimed his serve directly at Gawain's position, adding a lot of spin to create pressure.

This is also a very classic tactic in tennis matches. Once the landing point can be controlled, it will be very difficult for the receiving party to get out of the way, the space for returning the serve will be limited, and the serving party will be able to win the opportunity for subsequent offensive connection.

——Sure enough, it worked! In fact, Gao Wen's prediction was very accurate. He thought that Dimitrov would choose to serve close or chase the ball to limit his return attack. In this way, Dimitrov's attack connection can be smooth. No matter what, the side that controls the serve still has the initiative.

However, Dimitrov's shot landed at such a precise point that even though Gawain moved out of the way in advance, he still didn't get out of the way completely, and his racket swing was blocked. In the end, he couldn't complete his forehand swing, and halfway through, the tennis ball had already flown back, and he couldn't control it accurately.

Originally, Gawain was going to use his forehand to hit Dimitrov's backhand diagonally and launch a direct attack; but in the end, he did not turn sideways completely, so the forehand shot was not able to completely tear the ball apart, and even the quality of the ball was affected.

From the line and landing point of the return ball, it can be seen that Dimitrov felt some threat but not strong. His footwork was still in place. His one-handed backhand was very chic and light. His whole chest was completely stretched out. His body moved forward and he hit the backhand from a high point downwards.

As quick as a rabbit and as fast as lightning.

Dimitrov did not exert his full strength, but seized the rhythm and used a one-handed backhand to directly tear the angle apart.

Before he could even blink, the tennis ball had already returned to Gao Wen's backhand position, landing in the big triangle area near the baseline, and rushing towards him.

Gawain, pay attention.

The line is not surprising.

The point is not here, but that since there are no accidents on Dimitrov's route, Gawain wants to see if the situation can cause trouble.

Step, move, push off.

The entire movement of his feet was smooth and seamless. After a brief period of passivity in receiving the serve, he began to pay attention to Dimitrov's offensive connection. After realizing that Dimitrov's offensive connection was within his expectations, Gawain had completed his judgment, decision and attack in a flash.

There was no pause.

Gao Wen had a blueprint in his mind. Generally speaking, in order to ensure the success of that plan, a step-up squeeze, which increases the success rate and the quality of the ball by physically compressing the space, is very necessary; but now, Dimitrov's second shot's attack connection quality is very good, leaving no space for Gao Wen to step up, which also means that the difficulty has risen sharply.

However, Gawain was still ready to carry out his plan.

His eyes were determined and his attention was focused.

Once you step on the ground, support your body with your left leg, keep your upper body straight and upright, and as you swing the racket, your upper body will lean forward slightly while turning.

Use both hands to backhand and strike.

Swish! With a flick of the wrist, the speed of the racket head increased.

Swish! At the moment when the tennis ball hits the racket string, the wrist speed increases again, and at the same time, the body presses forward and rotates, and all the forces are twisted into a rope.

"ah!"

With a muffled groan, he exerted his full strength and continued to extend the swing after the racket was hit. The energy deep in his dantian was thus completely released.

“Ahhhh!”

Backhand, straight line.

Gawain's unique skill, which made him famous, suddenly appeared and cut through the sky.

Sudden enough, strong enough, appearing in unexpected situations and at unexpected times, breaking the balance with a fighting attitude -

Press forward and hit backward.

In these two games, Gao Wen changed his tactics, breaking through Dimitrov's forehand and improving the depth of his shots. The ultimate goal was not to destroy Dimitrov's forehand in a strong collision, but to suppress him and break Dimitrov's forehand and backhand offensive rhythm.

Destruction is the purpose.

Finally, break the balance of confrontation.

Huh! The whole audience exclaimed in amazement. They had never expected that Gawain would choose this moment to attack. In a passive situation, he did not continue the routine of strong backhand collision, but boldly and adventurously chose to change the line, trying to break through Dimitrov's forehand, completely overturning people's speculation.

Moreover, his two-handed backhand once again showed top level. Even when facing the Big Four, Gao Wen was not afraid to face the challenge.

At this moment, the entire No. 1 Stadium was amazed.

It flew in a straight line along the left sideline of the court, almost brushing the sideline, very straight.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Dimitrov was in a very, very bad state.

His footsteps were slightly staggering as he ran across the field, and he moved at the maximum speed as he swept across the field, but even so, it still seemed a little slow.

So, straight score?

Just when everyone thought that Dimitrov could no longer touch the ball, he did a split and his body was sent directly out, with his forehand hitting the lowest point of the tennis ball: cutting everything with one move.

There are no conventional technical movements at all, it is purely physical instinct, relying on forehand cutting to barely push the tennis ball back before it bounces twice.

...slash? No, straight line.

From any perspective, Dimitrov, who was pushed to the extreme, should have cut a diagonal line because he had no space. But at this moment, in an extremely difficult and extremely dangerous situation, Dimitrov broke the routine slightly and cut a straight line with excellent feel and control.

Shocking!

Turn defense into offense!

Unexpected, unexpected, really too unexpected, totally unexpected. It was so shocking and unexpected that all the noise in Stadium No. 1 was cut off. There was complete silence and everyone held their breath.

On the other side, Gawain had already started to defend his forehand, but he was half a beat late to realize that Dimitrov had broken his routine. Time seemed to have slowed down ten or a hundred times, and was clearly reflected in his pupils.
