Alarm bells -

Gao Wen's return serve, under extremely difficult circumstances, actually found an angle and landed on the sideline outside the small triangle of the serving area. After landing, it completely flew out and rushed lightly and playfully towards the doubles line.

Precise, clever, a needle hidden in cotton wool, and use defense instead of attack.

Sure enough, Gawain is Gawain.

However, Federer was not surprised because it was a second serve. Even if the quality of the second serve was excellent, he believed that Gawain would be able to find space for a counterattack. He kept his attention focused and launched the attack as soon as possible.

Stride, stride, big stride.

Federer appeared in the backhand position in a blink of an eye, but he did not rush to choose a backhand shot to launch a counterattack, because he knew his dilemma: if he chose to drive the ball with force, he would be pulled out by the centrifugal force, which also meant that his entire forehand court was completely cleared. Once his backhand shot could not form a winning point, there would be no next shot.

Therefore, Federer did not rush to counterattack, but defended for one shot, even if it meant losing the opportunity to attack in the second shot after serving. Facing a player like Gawain, he could not be impatient.

Cutting.

By the way, the slice shot that Gao Wen has used to break the rhythm and overturn the balance repeatedly since the US Open was learned from Federer. It was this technique that he learned from Federer. Now Federer also uses the backhand slice to fight back.

Diagonal, deep, backspin.

Federer's slice is different from Nadal's. He often does not pull up the parabola. No matter it is topspin or backspin, the height over the net is limited. It is relatively close to the net, keeping the rhythm compact.

Using a cut, Federer adjusted his center of gravity in time and controlled the rhythm of the round, then he returned to his original position and immediately returned to the middle of the court to prepare for the next shot, and the situation of serve and receive confrontation was reset to zero.

The return ball, with strong backspin, went into the big triangle at Gao Wen's backhand baseline. It was deep and spinning, creating an obvious squeeze and limiting Gao Wen's attack.

The tactical intention couldn't be more obvious.

But Gao Wen didn't buy it. He raised his backhand with both hands and even reached forward to hit the rebound ball, completely pulling up the parabola.

Gao Wen also has his own plans.

If he chooses to hit the rebound ball, he must use topspin to avoid it going into the net, and ordinary topspin will become Federer's best opportunity to attack.

So Gao Wen simply took the initiative to hit the moon ball, fully pulled up the topspin, and controlled the tennis ball to go into the deep area, using a diagonal line to counter the diagonal line.

Ah! And, exert force.

Gao Wen's two-handed backhand is exactly like a golf swing. The movement is beautiful and complete, from bottom to top, pulling up the parabola completely and pushing it into the deep area.

The tennis ball was lifted high up.

It crossed the net and the court and fell into the big triangle at the bottom line like a meteor.

Diagonal, backhand——

In this round, Gawain took advantage of Federer's backhand and hammered him continuously.

Federer groaned.

snort.

He stopped and turned suddenly, and went back and forth. Although his steps were calm and not awkward, he adjusted his rhythm through cutting, which did not disrupt Gao Wen. Then he put himself back into the hell of backhand confrontation again. This shot had strong topspin, deep baseline, and a tail force.

Federer's one-handed backhand is not easy to handle. It feels like the ball is being hit against the stomach. The muscles on the entire left side of the body are completely stiff, and the result of forcing the force is unlikely to be what you want.

What to do? Continue to cut? Of course, Federer has this ability. Unless he is facing Nadal, Federer is not afraid to cut against any other player. Even Nadal, he often dares to take the risk of cutting.

However, Federer had different ideas.

According to normal thinking, Federer would indeed choose to continue cutting, but there is no way back now, right?

It is not in Federer's character to continue to be conservative.

With a push of his foot, Federer braked suddenly. He was ready to cut. He did cut, but he changed some details slightly at the moment of cutting.

Small ball.

Instead of cutting the long line, Federer released the force and cut the short line.

Huh! The whole audience was stunned.

My eyes followed the tennis ball up, watching the short and graceful parabola dancing like a butterfly and lightly crossing the net.

Then, fall.

The arc, the rotation, the unloading of force, everything is perfect.

At this time, Federer showed his unparalleled and unparalleled hitting feel. The ball was so soft and delicate in a flash. Not only was the force unloading perfect, but the line and landing point were also perfect.

The tennis ball fell in a straight line, a little less than half a step away from the net. After hitting the ground, its force was limited and its rebound height was average. It was a standard small ball, achieving its goal perfectly, forcing Gawain to complete the longest running distance theoretically on a tennis court to save the ball.

Everything is just right.

Amidst the shock and astonishment, a light blue figure galloped over like a midsummer storm. It was Gawain.

Just as Gawain was about to arrive, he slid forward and snatched the shot. His body slid on the deep blue waves, and his forehand fully extended, snatching time -

Because the rebound height of a tennis ball is limited, the longer the second fall time is, the less space Gao Wen has to choose to return the ball. He is fighting for this little bit of time and this little bit of space.

When the tennis ball falls across the horizontal line of the net, take the initiative to shoot.

With a flick of the wrist and a twist at the critical moment, he used the table tennis net-front hitting method to gently lift the tennis ball up and smash it hard at the same time.

Snap! The sound of the ball hitting the ground is crisp and solid.

The wobbling, dancing tennis ball was flattened and smashed.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

What we are trying to seize is this tiny bit of opportunity.

Huh! Before the audience could exclaim for the second time, the mustard yellow halo had already crossed the court and was heading towards the big triangle at Federer's forehand baseline.

Slash.

Deep area.

Blind spot.

In that fleeting moment, Gao Wen's touch was still excellent and his control was perfect.

Wonderful, wonderful, indescribable!

Gawain's reaction, handling and execution once again showed the style of a giant. He not only put an end to Federer's counterattack, but also seized the opportunity to reverse the situation.

Uh ah.

Federer's muffled groan caused shallow ripples, and then Federer could be seen crossing the court. His speed had been increased to the limit, but it was still lacking a little. The tennis ball was about to sink into the ground.

A pounce.

It's not a slide or a split, but a diving forward with the upper body. The upper body and arms are extended out, and when the center of gravity is lost, it is extended to the extreme forehand, cutting and slicing.

ah.

Federer has reached his limit and completely thrown his body out.

Bang.

Touch the ball, success.

But what about tennis?

Everyone, hold your breath.

In a blink of an eye, a little slower than before, his sight caught the flight trajectory of the tennis ball again, and he watched the afterimage rush out in a straight line.

Across Federer's half, over the net, and into Gawain's half.

Time and space, frozen.

Gawain had just stood up and before he had time to move, he realized that he was too late to block the net; Federer was unable to stand up, staggered and finally fell to the ground, but immediately stood up again using his hands and feet, searching for the landing point of the tennis ball in the storm.

Within the boundaries.

"ah!"

Federer, roaring like thunder——

The king of heaven reigns.
