Calculate, dig holes, lay out, and counterattack.
This is a tennis match. Although it is not as fierce as a boxing match, you can always feel the tension in the tug-of-war.
In the previous move, Djokovic tried to set a trap, but Gawain was not fooled.
Next, Djokovic raised his hand to attack——
Did Djokovic fail to see through Gawain's trap and foolishly step into it? No.
Djokovic saw through it. After all, the layout of the entire court space was very clear. However, Djokovic did not choose other strategies. Instead, he launched a second consecutive attack along the gap left by Gawain. In the final analysis, it was because Djokovic improved the quality of his returns.
Speed, power, and placement.
Each item improved a little bit, and finally the spherical impact formed layers upon layers of impact and rushed towards Gawain.
so--
Who is actually plotting against whom?
Gawain ran at lightning speed, moving his feet ahead to buy himself some time. Even so, he still felt the danger when his feet were in place.
Djokovic's return is not only powerful, with a strong tail power, but also outward rotation, and continues to fly outward after landing.
The hitting point was only slightly off from Gao Wen's prediction, but it was too late to adjust his steps, so he could only shoot as quickly as possible.
Anyway, it was too late to choose a straight line, but if he continued to hesitate, there would be little room left for a diagonal shot.
Wait, do you want to choose cutting ball?
No, it won't work. Djokovic was mentally prepared for two consecutive small balls in the last game. If he rashly chooses small balls at this time, it would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth. Djokovic will not make the same mistake three times in two games. This set of tactics needs to wait a little longer to create a sudden effect.
Well, a slash is a slash.
Gao Wen's shot was a little forced. The ball was low and off-center. He almost reached the ball with his racket and used the quick contraction of his wrist to control the line.
The diagonal line, the angle is still not completely torn apart.
In an instant, Gao Wen realized the crisis, and thousands of thoughts started running at high speed in his mind.
His first reaction was to push off the pedal, brake suddenly, control his body, and without adjusting, lightly jump to break free from the constraints of gravity and regain his center of gravity. Then he used his left leg to move horizontally to the right, returning to the singles area and returning to the middle of the court.
His eyes were fixed on Djokovic.
Take small steps. Take small steps continuously.
Gawain immediately sounded the alarm.
In the previous shot, Djokovic switched from backhand to forehand, turned sideways and attacked with his forehand, his feet already standing on his left side of the court.
In this shot, Djokovic can actually continue to move sideways, continue to hit the forehand sideways, and continue to increase the power of the attack.
But Djokovic did not want Gao Wen to predict his own hitting line, so he pulled back slightly and prepared to launch a backhand attack.
Now, it became particularly difficult for Gao Wen to make a judgment.
Straight? Diagonal? Middle?
Djokovic's backhand has everything. In this position, he has a series of tactical combinations, and even the tactics of using force and not using force are completely different.
Gawain was observing Djokovic, and Djokovic was also observing Gawain. When it came to the crucial score, both players' concentration was stretched to the extreme. There was even a very, very short moment of pause in the ever-changing game. Without rushing to shoot, the air became burning.
Their eyes met and their gazes connected.
They couldn't see each other's expressions clearly across the entire court, but they could feel the energy in each other's eyes, and sparks flew.
Then--
With a push and a pull, Gao Wen braked suddenly, stopped and turned suddenly, and his body was pushed back to the backhand position.
Pupil constriction.
Gao Wen immediately caught Djokovic's swing, a backhand diagonal line, which, like his forehand, had an "inside-out" line with penetration and shock waves. For the second consecutive shot, he aimed at Gao Wen's backhand and repeated the landing point, but with a completely different speed, power and rotation.
The wind is strong!
In an instant, the tension and anxiety of the game reached a new level, so that there was no sound in the Arthur Ashe Stadium, and all the surges disappeared in the golden sunlight and scorching heat waves all over the sky.
Whoosh! The tennis ball rushed over with the force of breaking through the air. Before it even landed, one could already feel the surging air waves coming one after another.
Gawain's footsteps lagged behind by half a beat.
Although Gao Wen started at the first moment, he did not predict and move in advance, so he was in a backward position and had to run after the tennis ball.
Such a disadvantage also put Gao Wen into a passive position.
Speed, bursting out in an instant, stride, stride, and again, leaving a trace of afterimage behind, and in the blink of an eye he had crossed the sideline and continued to rush forward.
Just as the tennis ball was about to break through the horizontal line of Gawain's lateral movement and rush forward, with the vertical axis and the horizontal axis intersecting, Gawain suddenly took a big step, pushed his body out, and dug his left leg into the ground to support his body. The reaction force that exploded instantly overturned layer by layer.

Ah! A roar!
The taut muscle lines extend from the heels along the ankles, calves and thighs, like an electric current, with veins bulging and power bursting out, and then the power is transmitted through the rotation movement, and the arm lines are completely straightened.
Hmm! Backhand, swing, speed up instantly, the racket head speed rises to a whole level.
A brief pause -
Take action.
release.
With a roar, incredible power burst out like a dam breaking.
Bang! The solid and crisp sound of the ball hitting the rocks exploded, as if it directly hit the eardrums of the audience at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The heart contracted fiercely, and the booming sound of the explosion resounded in the mind.
Surprise! Across the net, Djokovic was concentrating on watching Gawain's steps, and subconsciously moved to the backhand, because they had many head-to-head duels on the backhand today, and because Gawain's movement was not enough, there was not enough space for the shot, so the diagonal line was a high probability.
However! Djokovic had just moved when he saw Gawain's move, and his alarm bells rang.
Damn it!
Why doesn't he learn his lesson?
After a slight hesitation, he returned to his familiar routine, and then forgot Gao Wen's habit. So far in the first set, Gao Wen's unconventional hitting routine paralyzed his reaction, so that now his conditioned reflex can't keep up, but he completely forgot that interpreting the game and seizing opportunities are also Gao Wen's strengths.
Strike when the time is right.
This shot is a straight line.
It's not a diagonal line but a straight line, and the backhand is sharp.
Despite the misjudgment, Djokovic's reaction was quick and he eventually learned his lesson, making an accurate response within milliseconds.
He pushed with his left leg, stopped and turned suddenly, started again, and rushed out again, taking big strides towards the forehand position, his eyes following the tennis ball.
Speed up, speed up, speed up, and speed up again. There was only one thought in my mind, but my body couldn't keep up with the thoughts, and my eyes had already been pulled away.
whoosh.
A flash of light, an arrow pierced the heart, hitting the bull's eye.
Snap! Bull's eye! Blind spot! Djokovic had only one thought in his mind: It's over.
