run.

accelerate.

Sprint.

He ran all the way, watching Gao Wen getting closer and closer to the tennis ball.

However! His footsteps did not slow down at all. With a "whoosh", Gawain had already surpassed him and continued to rush forward. In a trance, the dislocation had already occurred.

Originally, Djokovic pushed a straight line, which was Gao Wen's forehand position.

But Gao Wen had to return to the baseline with his back to Djokovic, which was equivalent to facing the tennis ball, and the landing point of the tennis ball switched to the backhand position. In this case, the difficulty of completing the shot with two-handed backhand increased sharply, which was almost an impossible task.

If he switches to hitting the ball between his legs, or turns around and hits the ball on the spot, Djokovic's shots from deep in the baseline will not bounce high, leaving limited space. Even if he successfully completes the shot, the difficulty of line control will increase exponentially.

Difficult! Harder than ascending to heaven!

Now, Gawain sprinted at full speed, just like a 100-meter race, and overtook with speed. When his foot passed the landing point of the tennis ball and continued to rush forward, the tennis ball fell behind Gawain, and then the positions of Gawain and the tennis ball were switched again, which also allowed Gawain to try to hit the ball with his forehand.

The risk lies in the fact that Gao Wen's speed is, in one word, "fast". He must speed up and speed up again to buy himself time to switch positions.

Otherwise, the hitting space is fleeting.

Life hangs by a thread.

Push off the ground, rush forward, switch, and dislocation.

at this time--

With his back to the court, Gao Wen held the racket with one hand, lowered the racket, let his arm hang naturally, and relied on the racket head to lightly bounce the tennis ball before it was about to hit the ground for the second time.

The simplest and most basic way to hit the ball is without any fancy moves. Create a three-dimensional space of the court in your brain and wrap the tennis ball with your wrist.

Pop.

Gently, simply, scoop it up.

Buzz.

The faint vibration from the collision between the tennis ball and the racket strings lingered on the wrist, and then, with a pause for the right foot and a tap of the left foot, the body completed a clockwise rotation.

One hundred and eighty degrees.

Gao Wen faced the court again and just in time saw the trajectory of the tennis ball flying over the net. He immediately started moving and reflexively prepared to go to the net.

Everything in sight slowed down ten or a hundred times.

Tennis ball in flight.

Djokovic, on the move.

However, the two shadows were completely staggered, one going to the right and the other to the left, going in opposite directions.

Djokovic was slightly stunned, and he slammed on the brakes, preparing to start again. Before his feet could leave the ground, the tennis ball had already broken through from his forehand diagonal direction, so that his muscles were tensed to the extreme, and he was nailed in place, watching the flight trajectory of the tennis ball.

dislocation.

breakthrough.

A faint rustling sound could be heard in the air, and the tennis ball seemed to dive into the water, splashing water and exploding into a ball of light mist.

——Within the boundary.

Score.

"30:30".

Buzz! "Great!"

“It’s wonderful!”

"Perfect!"

"This point is undoubtedly the best round since the start of the game."

"Gawain broke the deadlock, Djokovic fought back brilliantly, but in the end it was Gawain who finished the match with a shot against the rhino with his back to the court."

The so-called rhinoceros looking at the moon actually refers to looking at things one-sidedly because the rhinoceros' horn blocks its vision.

However, it is just right to use it at this time.

Because Gao Wen had his back to the court and his vision was blocked, he could not see the situation on the court clearly, but he relied entirely on inspiration and intuition to complete the shot.

"It's wonderful! It's absolutely wonderful!"

"Gao Wen used this round to resolve a small crisis. There is no break point in this game yet, '30:30'."

Zhan Jun's voice was very excited, even slightly hoarse.

Although the first set started off very tense, the game actually improved further during the mid-set stage, definitely living up to expectations.

"Now, the battle for momentum between the two players has reached a fever pitch. It's not just about tactics and skills, but also about the grasp of key points."

"Whether it's Gawaddenko or Djokovic, they are all trying to adjust their form and control the game."

Obviously, Djokovic was in a great mood because of the bad call in the previous game and lost his serve, but Gawain's response was strong and excellent enough.

On the court, sparks flew——

On the other side, Gawain clenched his fists, his eyes shining with high morale, and looked directly into Djokovic's eyes.

On the other side, Djokovic looked at Gao Wen calmly, silently wiped the sweat off his face with his wrist guard, and turned away.

There were no cheers, no shouts, no roars. The Arthur Ashe Stadium had fallen into madness, but both players remained exceptionally calm.

The undercurrent is surging.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The air was filled with smoke.

Then.

The provocation from Gawain appears again.

Area 1.

One outside corner.

Gawain completely tore the angle apart. Although Djokovic's forehand diagonal return was very determined and he tried to use the quick tearing and quick driving movements to create an impact, Gawain stood in the forehand position and cut the ball without warning.

The whole audience was shocked.

It was the second consecutive time that Gao Wen cut the ball short, and this time it was obviously humiliating and a surprise attack. In the first shot after serving, Gao Wen cut the ball short.

First of all, this move is often used on clay courts because the players' positions when receiving serves are relatively far back and their starting speed is relatively slow.

Secondly, Federer often uses this move, breaking the conventions and routines, and his imaginative offensive methods are overwhelming.

But now? Obviously, Djokovic was prepared, he realized that Gawain might break the court space and use different means to fully open up the situation; but Djokovic still did not expect that it would come so quickly and so suddenly, and he was tricked again.

Damn it. Damn it. Damn it.

For the second point in a row, Djokovic still wasn't ready.

It is rare for a player to break Djokovic's expectations and put him in trouble twice in a row with the same routine.

Yet Gawain did just that, and succeeded.

It’s still a small ball.

This is indeed a humiliation.

Djokovic's speed and strength burst out instantly, sprinting from the baseline to the net at a very fast speed, showing his mobility as the king of hard courts. Before he even had time to blink, his footsteps had already reached the front of the net.

Sprint.

Slide.

Push.

Djokovic observed Gawain's position again, and pushed the ball in a straight line with his forehand, aiming at the blind spot at the baseline of Gawain's backhand.

In fact, Djokovic could choose to replay the ball because Gawain's footsteps had already entered the baseline.

But Djokovic also has his own pride. Since Gao Wen cut the ball into the deep area for the second time in a row, he also deliberately chose to cut the long line into the deep area for the second time in a row.

Gaming. Competition. Collision. Everywhere.

A similar pattern appeared twice in a row, but the situation was completely different.

Gao Wen was well prepared, and his retreat was obviously more natural; at the same time, Djokovic's second start was also faster, the secretion of adrenaline was obviously accelerated, and the whole reaction speed entered high-speed mode.

Pull back. Adjust. Pull back. Observe.

Gawain was moving while looking at the overall situation. Djokovic's return was indeed excellent, accurately pressing the blind spot at the baseline, making full use of the space on the court, and also successfully squeezing Gawain.

So, what about this time?

What should Gawain do?
