Chapter 1705: Simple and Pure
The game has entered a whole new level. Both players have given 100% of their current form and are even constantly pushing their limits.
Gao Wen, stay focused and sprint with all your strength.
Rushing from the top of the right side of the baseline of the court to the top of the left side, his feet were about to get closer. He knew he could complete the shot, but the question was how to hit the ball?
As expected, I glanced at it from the corner of my eye——
Federer, at the net.
At the critical moment, the king of grass still believed in his ability in front of the net. He tore out an extreme diagonal line in the dilemma of being completely suppressed in the backhand position. Without hesitation, his feet cut into the baseline, and in just two or three steps he quickly approached the net, with his arms open to cover the entire court.
So, this is another game.
How will Gawain choose to break the net, and which route will Federer block? The tense atmosphere has reached a new height during the back and forth, and the center court is obviously lacking in oxygen.
Then, Gawain's footsteps were already in place, but he had no time to adjust. He had to complete the shot while moving at high speed. Amidst a series of ups and downs, he hit the ball with both hands backhandedly in a posture comparable to that of a heavy sword.
The body continued to rush forward, using the inertia of the sprint to extend along the inertia of the speed, with both hands backhanding one hook and one push——
Backhand straight line.
Gao Wen's famous stunt was repeated on the center court, and the audience inside and outside the TV all held their breath.
Heavy and fast.
Sharp and tough.
Gao Wen's backhand straight line broke the net in an extremely difficult situation, and at the same time, a tiger roared! "Ah! Ahhhh!"
The tennis ball casts a mustard yellow shadow.
However, Federer paused and hesitated a little, because in the same round before, Gawain broke the net with a backhand diagonal shot, which inevitably affected Federer's judgment and made him start a little slowly.
A kick and a rush.
Federer stretched out like a white crane spreading its wings, holding the racket in his right hand, his body fully extended, and performed a difficult yoga move.
Extend, stretch, and reach the extreme.
Getting closer.
Closer.
With a slight shake of the fingertips, the racket head position completes the interception.
Blocked! When his body was stretched to the limit and he lost his balance, Federer showed his unparalleled touch at the net and rubbed it lightly.
Here, Federer lost his balance.
On the other side, Gao Wen also lost his balance.
Sudden stops and turns, and continuous emergency braking put severe tests on the ankles and knees. The calf's ability to push off the ground was obviously insufficient, but in a state of complete oblivion, he managed to control his body incredibly, completing the transfer of center of gravity with one push off the ground, and then he rushed out.
Tap, tap, tap.
The footsteps had just started, and the next second they were slightly adjusted again -
Gao Wen thought that Federer would choose to cut the ball when he intercepted at the net. He was ready to cut into the baseline and lean forward, but an accident happened at this time.
Federer's forehand was extremely difficult to control when extended to the extreme, so he gave up cutting and releasing the ball and instead pushed it long.
The tennis ball flew along the diagonal line towards the big triangle at Gao Wen's forehand baseline.
While sprinting at full speed, Gao Wen changed direction once and twice, completing two detailed adjustments in succession and maintaining speed amidst the bumps and turbulence.
The howling wind blew past——
run.
At this moment, Gao Wen seemed to have returned to the days of learning the basic skills. Everything was about footwork and only about footwork. It was boring and tedious basic training. He couldn't even pick up the racket or touch the tennis ball. He was clearly learning tennis but he just kept moving around the court.
However, it was not until I grew up that I realized that those days of focusing on basic training were simple and monotonous, but also pure.
It seems that just focusing on the present thing is enough. That kind of happiness and joy is irreplaceable.
Tap, tap, tap.
Gao Wen once again returned from the left apex of the baseline to the right apex. His lungs were burning, his muscles were bursting, and his knees were shaking, but he was very happy.
Stepping on the Hot Wheels, the speed has reached the extreme——
near.
Come closer.
He took a few steps and pushed his body forward; but it was still not enough. Although he was able to touch the ball, Gao Wen demanded more from himself.
The upper body, tightly gripping the racket, continued to extend, stretching to the extreme, and actually managed to grab half of the palm again, and then swung the forearm quickly.
He swung his forearm and wrist heavily.
Whip!
The footsteps have reached outside the singles line, the upper body is parallel to the ground, the forehand hits at the extreme position, and a diagonal line is drawn with the wrist wrap.

Whoosh! The tennis ball, light and agile, like a hummingbird, without strength but light and agile, reaching the extreme speed, once again crossed the court and rushed diagonally towards Federer's forehand.
Tit for tat.
Not giving an inch.
The fierce confrontation between the two sides was still hidden in every touch of the ball, and then Gawain disrupted Federer's center of gravity again.
In front of the net, Federer had already moved his center of gravity to prepare for a straight line defense, but he did not expect that Gawain would draw an extreme diagonal line, further tearing the angle apart.
In a hurry, Federer hurriedly adjusted his steps, started again, and pulled himself back again, and his forehand also extended to the extreme.
There was no time to breathe and no room to celebrate, as both players danced on the tightrope.
Federer also stretched to the extreme, and for the second time in a row, at the extreme top position of his forehand, he touched the tennis ball, rubbing it bit by bit.
It's just so light and simple.
It seemed as if the racket and the tennis ball had just touched, and before he could hook his wrist, the tennis ball had already flown back with a long fuzzy tail.
Federer was in a state of panic. He held the racket tightly with his forehand to support the ground, barely holding up his body and regaining his center of gravity. He had completely lost his position in front of the net. In the chaos, he looked for Gawain's figure, and then his heart began to shrink.
Surprised! Because Gawain made a sudden stop and turn for the third time, and then crossed the court again along a small diagonal line, from the forehand position to the backhand position again, to meet Federer's forehand straight return.
Federer immediately realized that the quality of his return was poor. It was not short enough or long enough, and it landed in the middle of the court, neither forward nor backward. This meant that Gawain had many different routes to hit.
Perhaps, the only thing to be thankful for is the reduction in force.
Federer's shot removes all the power, lightly wraps the tennis ball and pushes it back with almost no strength. The rebound height after landing is very limited, which also adds great difficulty to Gawain.
Gawain ran wildly, forgetting everything else, running across the field like a rocket. The force of his footsteps on the ground could even be seen as green mist billowing.
Two jumps?
No, just before the tennis ball was about to bounce twice, Gawain pushed his body out with a sliding step, and rolling green air waves were set off on both sides of his feet.
Go forward, go forward, keep going forward——
The two-handed backhand has evolved into a one-handed backhand, which cuts sideways between the tennis ball and the ground.
Then, he raised his wrist and forearm.
Ah! Power surged from deep within the dantian.
A rub.
The tennis ball just flew up, high and floating, like a rocket, and disappeared into the golden sunlight all over the sky.
