Chapter 1611: Opening and closing Light
, clever, a flash of inspiration——
Dimitrov, this talented young man, although he pursued perfection to the point of losing some agility, but still, no one could deny his talent. In the critical moment when things changed rapidly, he cut a straight line with a forehand, broke the routine, broke the balance, and broke the prediction, and overturned the situation again.
The cutting is low and flat, with great skill and little effort, straight and deep, turning from defense to offense, and the positions of advantages and disadvantages are transformed quietly.
Although the return ball was not fast or powerful, the space left for Gao Wen to hit the ball was also very limited.
When Gao Wen made an abrupt stop and turn to adjust himself, he realized this, but there was no room for adjustment. He had to complete the shot with a two-handed backhand, otherwise gravity would pull the tennis ball down continuously, and the last hitting point might be missed. He could only passively defend with a high ball.
Bend your knees, squat, lower your center of gravity -
Then, Gao Wen realized that the entire bounce was too low. It must be said that the quality of Dimitrov's cut was indeed excellent. It was not only low but also deep. Gao Wen's position was near the baseline and he was obviously squeezed. In order to complete the shot, he had to squat.
Finally, Gao Wen simply took a half-sitting and half-squatting posture, gave up on hitting the ball, and instead used the strength of his forearms and wrists to leverage the force and hit the ball lightly.
One sweep, half pick.
It's all skill.
The wrapping and control of the wrist pushes the tennis ball across the court and flies towards the deep diagonal area. The speed is not fast, but the ultimate landing point is pursued.
With this defensive shot, Gao Wen aimed at the blind corner of Dimitrov's backhand baseline.
The whole audience stared with bated breath——
All the bustling eyes followed the spinning tennis ball. Brilliant golden sunlight surged across the sky and the earth. From the corner of the eye, a figure in white clothes could be seen crossing the entire court. After completing a stunning cut in an extremely passive situation, the subsequent start-up connection was very fast.
With a pause and a kick, Dimitrov moved to the left.
Because he could see that Gao Wen had no space to hit the ball and lacked space to adjust, it was highly likely that he would choose a diagonal line, which was the best channel.
Second start, very timely.
Running at full speed, in the chaos and turmoil of the whole world, Dimitrov saw the light and shadow falling towards the backhand position.
——Guessed it right!
However, a blind spot.
Dimitrov immediately realized that his counterattack space was also limited. Gao Wen sacrificed speed and strength and relied on precise control to pursue a landing point, trying to create pressure through the landing point, limit his return line, and then win breathing space to prepare for the next shot.
Back and forth, Dimitrov's cutting and Gawain's light hitting actually have the same purpose, which is to reverse the situation in a passive situation.
So how does Dimitrov plan to respond? Head-on.
Today, Dimitrov is indeed fully prepared; and so far, his backhand is in excellent condition and he is not at a disadvantage in strong collisions.
At the critical moment, Dimitrov was also full of confidence and showed no mercy in the backhand confrontation.
At this time, the advantage of the flexible one-handed backhand is reflected.
Even if the hitting space is squeezed and the swing posture cannot be fully stretched, the one-handed backhand can still complete the swing through partial adjustments of one's own sense of balance, and can even control the line, including some difficult shots, showing the elegance and grace of the one-handed backhand to the fullest.
Dimitrov, not afraid at all.
Push off the ground, step forward, stretch, and move forward.
The entire backhand stroke was smooth and the ball was touched at the high point of the shoulder. Although the posture was a bit awkward, the chest was opened smoothly.
Swing, exert force, extend, and swing.
Along with a roar that erupted from deep in his dantian, Dimitrov's entire body felt a strong sense of squeezing, and his upper body was flipped backwards, but he still completed the swing through the reaction force. The crisp and solid sound of the hit was like a thunderclap, resounding over the court.
——Diagonal, attack with force.
Dimitrov hit a high-level ball through backhand in a passive state. Not only did he not passively defend, but he also launched another attack to kill the opponent.
The tennis ball was fast and sharp, like a fireball, heading towards the deep area on the left baseline of Gao Wen. The mighty posture could feel the rolling heat waves.
Huh!
The audience at Court No. 1 couldn't help but gasp, staring at the return with their eyes wide open, temporarily forgetting to breathe.
Plan's eyes were fixed on the ball, following it across the court and back to his side of the court. A dangerous and tense atmosphere was surging throughout the court.
Perhaps, Gawain is the only exception.
Moving, adjusting, misstepping, Gawain's footsteps were dazzling, as if he had already anticipated that Dimitrov would definitely choose the backhand diagonal line. He made a fake move to the forehand position for defense, but his center of gravity did not move at all. Then he returned to the backhand position and waited for the ball.
Moreover, Gao Wen was not satisfied with staying where he was, and continued to move to the left by crossing his steps.
From the backhand position all the way to the sideways forehand position -
Defense? Offense? Neither.
Gao Wen prepared to attack. Facing Dimitrov's advanced attack, Gao Wen seized the predictability of the line, moved in advance, and gained space for hitting the ball.
In the blink of an eye, he had entered the doubles area, and with a big step he completely cleared the position, gaining enough space for the forehand swing.
Then, tennis came along.
He pushed off with his left leg, started his body again, took an active step forward, swung his racket with his forehand, and rushed towards Dimitrov's return.

Forehand, a sweep, a top, and a bump.
Hammer!
Ah. A roar erupted from deep within his dantian, but it was still not the end.
Ahhh. Full force, from pushing off the ground to turning the body to swinging the racket, the whole force is done in one go.
Short, powerful, strong, and impactful.
Bang! With a crisp sound, the tennis ball was launched out.
The whole audience was silent.
Bold!
crazy!
Unbelievable! They did not expect the collision from defense to offense, nor did they expect Dimitrov to move ahead to gain space for his backhand attack, nor did they expect Gawain to give up the backhand duel and directly choose to sideways forehand attack in a straight line, a shot comparable to Thor's hammer.
whoosh.
The tennis ball turned into a flash of lightning, and the entire audience was shocked, including Dimitrov.
Dimitrov's feet were jumping. He was ready for subsequent defense or attack. His body was very light. But when he saw Gawain's hitting line, he was shocked and his feet were nailed to the spot. He had no chance at all and watched the tennis ball go through the court.
straight line!
The ball flew along the sideline and finally into Dimitrov's forehand blind spot.
Land, bounce, impact. Period.
Everything happened so fast, it was over in a flash.
The whole audience held their breath and looked at the linesman. The air froze for a brief second.
The linesman, hands clasped together and eyes determined, made his decision.
"Inside the boundary!"
Win, score, break point, cash in.
