Chapter 1658 Heartbeat Moment
Slow, this round has obvious characteristics.
Spectators familiar with grass court matches are already accustomed to the lightning-fast rounds of hitting the ball, where the coming and going of the ball leaves only streaks of light and shadows.
Occasionally, the serves of Isner, Federer and others disappear before they can even be captured, as if they have teleported.
When seeing such an ACE on the spot, exclamations can't help but rush out of your throat. This seems to have become a classic label of grass court tournaments.
Today, the same was true in the match between Murray and Gao Wen. In the back-and-forth duel, speed and passion could often be seen at the winning moments.
However, this point is not the case.
From Gawain's serve to Murray's return, the overall speed and rhythm slowed down significantly. Although not as exaggerated as on clay, the visual effect was also very direct. The rotation of the neck from left to right and then from right to left also seemed to be easy, and the entire audience's vision locked onto the trajectory of the tennis ball without any obstacles.
Murray's return ball has a slightly raised parabola, and the speed across the court slows down, even giving off a bit of laziness and freedom of strolling in a garden; but when it reaches the highest point and turns into the falling track, it suddenly speeds up, falling towards the deep baseline in a posture comparable to the free fall of a roller coaster.
Wow! The sharp contrast in flight trajectory speed created waves that came so loudly that the audience couldn't help but exclaim.
Murray's serve was full of danger, and it rushed towards Gao Wen with a strong tail force of power and rotation.
aim!
It was obvious at first glance that Murray was hitting the ball with great precision, aiming at Gawain's position to return the ball.
The tennis ball, like a torpedo, exploded right under Gawain's nose.
However, Murray's return was indeed restrained by Gawain. He tried to press deep but still not deep enough, and there was still a small half-step space from the baseline. The lack of deep pressure meant that the squeezing of the ball could not achieve the maximum effect.
This is the gap that Gawain created through serving, and it is also Gawain's opportunity.
Move your right leg back and take a step to adjust your hitting space without moving your position; and lead the racket while moving back.
Forehand, stretch.
Chest, open.
The arms are kept straight and swung quickly. At the same time, the right leg steps back and a counterclockwise turn and follow-up swing increases the rhythm. The whole hitting action becomes faster and faster, and the strength of the body and arms is coordinated in one go, and finally the release is completed.
"ah!"
An angry roar erupted from deep in his dantian. Instead of being conservative or defensive, he faced the tennis ball head-on, using force against force to hit the ball against the wall. His forearms and wrists were completely straightened, and finally he hit the tennis ball with all his strength like a baseball home run.
Bang! The power exploded instantly.
The solid and crisp sound of the ball hitting the ball caused ripples in the center court, spreading out one after another.
Murray is tough, and so is Gawain.
Murray dares to shoot, and Gao Wen also dares to shoot.
In just one serve-winning game, the two players were still vying for the ball, and then Gao Wen responded in his own way.
He watched the tennis ball fly out, but Gawain did not stop. The moment he hit the ball, his body continued to rush forward.
Follow the ball to the net!
Decisive, firm, and quick to connect.
As Gao Wen came to the net, the sense of space in the entire court began to change dramatically, and Murray on the opposite side of the court felt the pressure first.
Tap! Tap, tap, tap, with a kick of his left leg, Murray's body rushed towards the forehand position like an arrow from a bow.
As soon as it started, I realized something was wrong, "Oh no!"
Gawain's attack was fast, dense, heavy and flat. The parabola of the tennis ball was completely flattened, and it almost stuck to the net and entered Murray's half of the court. After the collision of power, all the power was superimposed on the tennis ball. The heavy ball rushed towards Murray's forehand position like a falling meteorite.
Push off the ground, sprint, run at full speed——
Murray, speed up immediately.
However, before he could even cross half court, Murray had already noticed Gawain's net, and the entire situation changed again in a short period of time.
"ah!"
Murray's speed has been improved to the extreme, but his attention is inevitably distracted:
He needs to pay attention to Gao Wen's position, re-analyze the space on the court, observe the flight and bounce of the tennis ball, and think of a reasonable return route after comprehensive consideration. All these considerations cannot be omitted, and naturally, his concentration will be slightly shaken.
This is also part of the oppression of surfing the Internet.
Tap, tap, tap.
Murray then realized that the situation was very, very, very bad, but he had already lost the initiative and there was no room for recovery.
The pace has been improved to the extreme.
The body has been stretched to the extreme.
However, the forehand could only barely touch the tennis ball, but there was no time and space to swing the racket, and the tennis ball hit the racket frame and rushed out.

Not towards the net, but towards the baseline judge.
Bang! It hit the side guard directly, making a dull sound.
"pretty!"
"Facing the break point, Murray was very active in returning serve, but Gawain responded with a tougher and more determined attack."
“At the same time, follow the ball to the net.”
"Obviously, Murray's judgment was affected by Gawain's net action, so his footsteps were a little bit late in getting to the ball, just a little bit late. In the end, Murray was unable to complete the shot and lost in the fierce competition for the initiative."
"Gawain, save the break point."
Roar! Gawain roared with his fist clenched.
Ah! Murray roared in frustration.
Both players were releasing their emotions, but it was obvious that Gawain quickly regained his composure and turned to walk towards the baseline; Murray, on the other hand, seemed indignant, and continued to mutter while wiping his sweat, and was very dissatisfied with the fact that he was disturbed by the action of going to the net.
In this point, Gawain's calculation and layout were indeed excellent, and Murray didn't have many chances to begin with; but Murray still regretted that he couldn't do better, otherwise, he might have given it a try to see if he could break the net. If successful, it might have overturned the entire game.
The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, and the more aggrieved he felt, "Ah!" Murray was ultimately unable to control himself and roared once again.
Late arrival.
Murray finally let out all his depression, regained his composure, returned to the baseline, and prepared to continue the game.
On the other side of the court, Gao Wen had already arrived at his position and stood there quietly, keeping calm and sober, thinking about the tactical layout for the next point.
"40:40".
The situation is still stalemate. It could be a match point for Gawain or a break point for Murray. Both players have chances.
Victory seems to be within reach.
But Gao Wen was not thinking about this in his mind. From facing match point to fighting for match point, the change of position cannot be accomplished by imagination. He needs to focus on the next point and fight for it step by step, because he knows that Murray will not give up the victory, he needs to fight for it himself.
call.
A glance at Murray showed that he was ready; similarly, Gawain was ready too.
