Chapter 1685: My scalp is numb

The racket is like a blade, cutting a thin cut with a side cut, and the backhand force is uneven with one hand, but it is just a light rub.

Federer has repeatedly shown his exquisite touch before, and now it is Gawain's turn -

The tennis ball spun rapidly, sticking to the net and flying quickly along an almost parallel track. The strong side spin completely suppressed the arc, and actually tore a small crack in Federer's airtight coverage, and flew along the diagonal direction, aiming at the position behind Federer.

In the previous point, Gao Wen successfully scored with this shot and saved the game point.

Federer was well prepared for this point and obviously would not make the same mistake again.

He made a mistake in his steps and retreated continuously. Seeing that the tennis ball was about to fall behind him if it continued to fly, he was unable to complete the backhand swing.

So Federer simply lowered his center of gravity, intercepted the tennis ball halfway without waiting for it to hit the ground, and lightly flicked it with one-handed backhand, then hit it quickly.

Huh! The whole audience was shocked.

Because of the strong confrontation between the two players, because of Gawain's several sudden stops and turns in defense, and because of Federer's incredible attack.

A low volley with a one-handed backhand was definitely a high-level technique that came to him on a whim. However, Federer showed off his unparalleled control, relying entirely on his wrist and touch. With a light flick, he pushed the tennis ball in a straight line to the deep area of ​​Gao Wen's forehand position.

Long ball, long ball, short ball, long ball.

Combining long and short shots, and running left and right in parallel, Federer made full use of the entire court space and once again demonstrated his dominance and control in front of the net.

Dazzling.

Cover the entire venue.

It was beautiful, really beautiful. Even if you knew nothing about tennis, it would not affect your appreciation of this round. The transition between offense and defense was contained in every shot, and the intensity of the contest was always maintained.

Here, Federer amazed everyone with his skills.

Over there, Gawain fought to the bitter end—

Run, sprint, and return.

Gawain was completely led by the nose, running around desperately, and tried to counterattack several times but was perfectly handled by Federer and then fell into a passive position again.

Yet, he did not give up and refused to give up.

Push off the ground, exert force, and run.

From the baseline to the net, and then back to the baseline again.

Gawain's center of gravity was bouncing around as if he was thrown into the drum of a washing machine. He had no time to adjust in such a hurry, so he could only slide out again and again.

Passive, extremely passive.

His right leg had already slid out, his upper body was parallel to the ground again, his eyes fixed on the tennis ball, and Gawain soon realized the awkward position.

Even though he used a sliding step to shorten the moving time, Federer's shot was still deep and went straight to the baseline, and it didn't bounce high. Gawain tried his best but still couldn't get to the right position, and the hitting point was equivalent to being behind him.

Embarrassing.

However, there is no time to hesitate between games. The upper body has already been extended, the feet are completely split into splits, and before the front string of the tennis ball leaves his coverage, he gently hooks it with his wrist softly and delicately.

At this time, Gawain had his back completely to the court and could not see Federer's position at all. He did not have time to think about these things. The only thing in his mind was the tennis ball in front of him and the three-dimensional spatial position of the court.

Wrist, hook, wrap.

Then, the tennis ball flew back——

Whoosh! Across the net, Federer's body center of gravity quickly returned to the midfield after hitting the ball. As long as he stayed in the midfield, he could respond to the next return randomly. This is basic common sense in net tactics.

However, he did not expect that this series of movements, which gradually became Federer's body instinct, would pull Federer out and away from his defensive position.

Because Gawain drew a straight line.

It's actually a straight line.

Splits, behind-the-back ball, deep zone, under such difficult conditions, Gao Wen did not choose a diagonal line but a straight line, shocking the audience again.

Huh! A second exclamation could be clearly heard from center court.

Federer paused, turned back, started again, and moved to the backhand position for defense again.

"ah!"

The racket had just been extended, and the next second I realized that my center of gravity had not followed.

Moreover, Gao Wen's straight return ball has an outward side spin due to the awkward hitting action rather than intentional. In fact, the straight line is not straight enough and is not completely pulled inward, but still has a slight outward spin.

This accident caused the return line to be out of Federer's control.

sudden.

Tennis ball actually broke through the shackles just before Federer's racket reached the target.

Landing, exploding——

Ah! The whole audience was shocked.

Surprise, astonishment, fear, panic, joy, all kinds of emotions surged up.

Even though I saw it with my own eyes, I still couldn't believe what was happening. Federer took the initiative throughout, Gawain was passive but tirelessly looking for a breakthrough to turn defense into offense, and Federer blocked all of her moves and continued to take the initiative until the last two shots.

Gao Wen's two returns under extreme conditions turned the situation around in an incredible way.

How did all this happen? My scalp tingles!

Wait, did that really happen? The center court was completely silent.

No one could believe their eyes. Everyone opened their mouths in surprise. Even the queen leaned forward slightly and looked at the court.

Gawain didn't realize this. After landing in the splits, he used his racket and left hand to quickly stand up. He was about to continue defending the next shot when he noticed the confusion on the scene. He stopped when he saw Federer had stopped hitting the ball. His eyes were full of questions: What happened? Was it out of bounds? Was my return out of bounds just now? But why didn't I hear the referee's call? Subconsciously, Gawain looked towards his players' box, trying to seek confirmation from Sampras and Agassi, and then he saw that they all stood up, some holding their heads or covering their mouths, their expressions full of confusion, not daring to make a sound easily, and all staring at the court.

Gawain turned around and saw the other side of the court. Following Federer's line of sight, he saw the linesman clasping his hands together and making an in-bounds gesture.

so what?

Federer didn't believe it, because Gawain's return ball just now was obviously outward, turning in an arc, breaking through Federer's blockade at the last moment, and there was a suspicion of being out of bounds.

Federer looked back at the referee, but the referee could do nothing to help.

Because the landing point was far away from the sideline on the referee's side, he could not see clearly from his position, and his vision was also blocked by Federer's figure, so he could not make a decision and had to trust the judgment of the linesman.

Federer raised his right hand without hesitation and chose to challenge.

"Mr. Federer chooses the Hawkeye challenge, right sideline of the court."

Whoosh, whoosh…

The whole audience held their breath. Because of the surprise and the shock, the trembling spread from the soles of their feet to their heads, wave after wave, and could not be stopped.

Even Mount Murray is no exception.

More than 40,000 spectators gathered inside and outside the All England Club, staring at the big screen with burning eyes and pounding hearts.

The air really stagnated.

One second, two seconds——

Hawkeye replay appeared on the big screen.

The tennis ball fell, landed, pressed the sideline, and bounced out.

The camera zoomed in again and again, and only less than a fifth of the ball was on the line, but that shadow was real.

This is within the boundary.

God, it’s actually within the boundary!

Surprisingly! In the boundary! (End of this chapter)
