solid!
steady!
This is the characteristic of Agut's batting.
Maybe in terms of strength, speed, rotation and so on, Agut's personal abilities are not outstanding, but his balance ability can keep the quality of the ball stable in each round. With the continuous output of twenty or thirty shots, the pressure will accumulate layer by layer.
Moreover, the judgment of ability is also relative.
Compared with Del Potro, Agut's hitting characteristics are indeed not distinct enough; but compared with Belučić, Agut's hitting ability, quality and tactical layout ability are all at a higher level.
at this time!
In the stalemate of confrontation and game, Agut firmly grasped the opportunities he created, exerted pressure continuously, and instantly overturned the balance of the situation.
On the other side of the court, Gawain’s figure crossed the field.
The effect of the cutting in the previous beat was now highlighted. It not only slowed down the pace, but also made the adjustment of the center of gravity easier, buying Gao Wen precious time.
After the second start, he quickly pulled his body's center of gravity back, and with one push of his feet he rushed towards his forehand position, and was mentally prepared.
There were definitely quite a few rounds like this in the match against Auger-Aliassime. There was one right at the start.
Gawain, be ready.
The footsteps arrived smoothly, neither hurried nor slow, and there was even some time to adjust, and the forehand was already out -
Cleverness.
In fact, Gawain could have chosen to go head-to-head, and given the right opportunity and situation, he was willing to do so and would not hesitate to demonstrate his ability to fight back; but from the opening collision, it was clear that Agut was trying to seize the initiative, and Gawain had a better choice.
Forehand, outstretched, wrapped around the tennis ball, and pushed it lightly.
Use the opponent's force to counter attack, and hit lightly.
Gao Wen made a very unexpected choice, but judging from the details, this shot was not that simple.
Because at the moment of the shot, Gawain's racket head speeded up, and he used the quick movement of his wrist to pull the racket in a straight line. The wrist strength in the entire line change control was soft and delicate enough, once again demonstrating Gawain's ability to respond in a strong collision, and his talent to complete the execution.
However, the ball that was pushed out was obviously being pushed back in force.
whoosh.
From the sound of the ball being hit, it can be heard that Gao Wen used his clever strength to control the line and landing point, hitting the ball straight back.
From Gao Wen's forehand position back to Auger-Aliassime's backhand position, and the blind spots of the baselines were connected, with precise control of the landing point.
Huh! There was a cry of surprise at the scene.
Gawain's shots were so light and simple, effortlessly hitting the ball, that he easily neutralized Auger-Aliassime's attack. Such defensive ability is truly admirable.
Agut was equally surprised.
Uh. Uh ah.
Agut groaned, stopped and turned suddenly, for the second time in a row, his center of gravity moved to the right and then pulled back.
The first time, the center of gravity of the body was already shaking, and then Agut forced an attack in a straight line.
The second time, my body's center of gravity was thrown into the dryer, and every muscle in my body was trembling.
However, Auger-Aliassime still showed his ability. He pushed and topped the ball with his two-handed backhand. Such a simple hitting action successfully pushed and blocked the tennis ball in a straight line and pushed it back to the blind spot of Gawain's forehand baseline. The handling of this shot was simple and unpretentious but amazing.
Straight line – straight line – straight line.
After three consecutive shots, Gawain and Agut had a strong collision in the straight line.
Then, professionals can see that a gap has appeared.
In the previous shot, Gawain's light hit obviously did not land deep enough, which was intentional, as it increased the distance between Auger-Aliassime and the tennis ball, making it difficult for him to exert force when hitting the ball, forcing Auger-Aliassime to use the method of moving his center of gravity forward to complete the force and counterattack in the fast confrontation.
Agut is good at leveraging force. If he has to exert force himself, the combined force is often not enough. He will not make mistakes, but the quality is still lacking. If he wants to increase the effect of hitting the ball, he will use the superposition of his body weight to complete the force.
Naturally, Agut's body center of gravity was slightly swung to the outside.
This is the gap.
This scene can be seen in the eyes of thousands of people——
Gawain moved his footsteps towards his backhand, which was a habitual defensive action, but he kicked his left leg and pulled it back at the same time as Auger-Aliassime shot. Obviously, this step was a feint, and his whole attention was still on his forehand, and his movement seemed light and agile.
One step. Two steps.
In just two steps, Gao Wen was already in position, following the momentum of the movement, he stepped forward with his forehand and swung his racket.
Grab some!
Instantly, exert force.
Bang! Sweep, hit, and from the arc of the forehand, it can be seen that this is not an overhead spin, but a clean flat shot.
It only took one beat to complete the transition from slow to fast.
Then, the tennis ball turned into a long streamline, crossing the entire court, and the whistling wind swept it forward.
Agut groaned again, stopped and turned suddenly, and started again very quickly. Although the center of gravity of his body was slightly pulled out, he reacted in time and moved sideways to his right hand at the first time.

Tap tap tap, tap tap tap.
Agut's speed has reached its limit, and he has crossed the half court in a flash.
pity.
It’s still too late.
Gao Wen's forehand crosscourt shot once again burst out with amazing energy, and the penetrating "inside-out" shot directly penetrated the entire court.
It was precisely because of the slight pull of the center of gravity in the front that caused Auger-Aliassime to start a little slowly in the second time. In the end, he watched the tennis ball fly out and was ultimately unable to catch up.
Boom! The entire Louis Armstrong Stadium went wild.
Forty beats.
A full forty beats.
The game had just started with the second point, and before anyone had even had time to sit down, Gawain and Agut had already presented such a wonderful round.
Whether it was Agut looking for opportunities to take the initiative to open the situation, or Gawain quietly planning and completing the counterattack, the two players' offensive and defensive transitions were not so obvious, truly showing the strong confrontation of all offense and defense. The quality of the shots in the opening stage was enough to make the audience excited.
Before the game, people were worried that Gao Wen's right ankle injury had not healed, which might affect the quality of the game.
But now, Gawain has made his declaration with practical actions. He is ready.
Boom! Boom boom boom! Applause and whistles filled the entire venue. Those who had just entered the venue and had not yet found their seats were all confused and had no idea what was happening, but they also joined in the booing, once again showing the true colors of Flushing.
It is indeed the grand slam with the most party atmosphere.
"0:30".
At the beginning, in Auger-Aliassime's first serve, Gao Wen won two points in a row to take the lead.
The second week of a Grand Slam is indeed a little different.
Of course, Agut is not a soft persimmon that can be easily bullied by others.
"30:30".
With solid baseline skills and excellent opportunity capture, Auger-Aliassime scored two points in a row and regained the initiative in his own serve game.
But then, Auger-Aliassime made a mistake in a shot, and his forehand shot was slightly off the baseline by half a ball. It was a very, very close shot, but it still went out of bounds.
then.
"30:40".
In the first game, Auger-Aliassime had to face the test of break points.
The atmosphere in the stadium was tense, and before the audience could get into the mood, the first climax of the game had already appeared.
