Chapter 265: Seesaw and Shoot

One go. One return.

One comes. One goes.

Gao Wen and Zverev Jr. started a tug-of-war in the first point of the game. On the one hand, it was because the two players had very balanced offensive and defensive abilities; on the other hand, it was because the game had just begun and the two sides still needed some time to explore and adapt to the encounter, so there were many uncertainties.

In a blink of an eye, the round of ball has exceeded thirty shots, and the stalemate continues.

long.

long.

This time Zverev's return was a little more standard, landing in the middle close to the forehand position. Although it had depth, it lacked some spin.

Not an opportunity.

What is the best way to hit the ball?

In fact, similar opportunities have appeared many times in the round, and both sides have faced opportunities, but due to the excellent defensive abilities of the two players, those opportunities have not been converted into points. This also means that more thought must be given to the handling of each opportunity.

Gao Wen adjusted his position with small steps continuously, and fully stretched out his forehand racket lead, assuming a full-force posture of bending the bow and shooting the eagle. He glanced at Zverev's position with the corner of his eye, and then quickly moved his forearm to hit the tennis ball towards the large triangle position on the diagonal.

state.

The tennis ball flew past quickly, and it could be seen from the landing point that Gao Wen's control was very careful. The tennis ball landed in the large triangle where the baseline and the changing line intersected, and even half of the ball pressed down the changing line. The whole angle was very tricky, and the delicate control of the landing point was achieved by deliberately reducing the force and increasing the rotation.

However, Zverev still rushed over quickly, with his center of gravity slightly lagging behind, he stretched out his upper body completely, and with a machete-like cut with his forehand, he had already prepared for the shot. But at the moment when the tennis ball and the racket touched, Zverev immediately realized that something was wrong: it was a light hit!

Gao Wen just used a light hit. It looked like he swung his arm and was ready to use all his strength, but in the end, it was just a light hit on the tennis ball.

Zverev obviously did not anticipate the details of the shot and made a misjudgment. He was ready to use the force of the ball to save it, but he couldn't use any force at all. It was too late to change the force action temporarily. He could only use the strength of his forearm to barely hit the tennis ball back.

But Zverev immediately realized that something was wrong, because he did not use the force, and the parabola of the return ball was obviously out of control. It was high and floating, swaying like a feather, and it seemed that only a gust of wind could blow the tennis ball away. Such defensive quality was obviously not enough.

Tap tap tap.

Gao Wen rushed to the net immediately because he realized that his light hit worked. Facing Zverev's excellent mobility, it was too difficult to hope to score a winning point with one shot. Careful layout was the key to breaking the balance.

Tap tap tap.

Zverev's feet immediately moved sideways towards his backhand. Even if Gao Wen attacked with all his strength, he would not give up defense. His center of gravity was adjusted and transferred immediately, inadvertently showing his amazing physical talent.

Whoosh, whoosh, the wind is blowing hard and both players are moving at full speed.

Then, Zverev is in place, and so is Gawain. If Gawain hits the backslash as expected, then Zverev's defense will be in place. So, what is Gawain's choice? Adjust.

Make adjustments in small, continuous steps.

Gao Wen became extra careful when he came to the net. He had to divert a small part of his attention to his footsteps. He waited for the tennis ball to hit the ground and bounced, then continued to adjust his footsteps. He fully led the racket with his forehand. The full arc seemed that he was ready to hit the ball powerfully, but the next second, he was surprised again.

At the moment of the shot, Gao Wen released all his strength, hit the ball gently, hit the repeated line, and hit the tennis ball back to Zverev's forehand position.

Da. Da. Da. Da. Da. Da. Da.

The tennis ball fell to the ground lightly and nimbly. Because there was no force attached to it, its rebound height was limited. It quickly bounced two, three, and four times before finally rolling out.

“15:0”.

The referee announced the score.

Gao Wen stood near the serving line, clenched his right fist tightly, stared at Zverev Jr. with burning eyes, and burst out with a strong belief.

Zverev was still moving to the other side, but when he saw Gawain's hitting action, he knew he had guessed wrong. He looked up at the sky helplessly, his shoulders drooping in frustration.

No one expected that the point would end so suddenly and unexpectedly. A change in shot and rhythm by Gawain instantly broke the deadlock; while Zverev, who had always maintained his usual rhythm, obviously couldn't keep up. In the "head-to-head" confrontation, he relied on his wisdom to decide the outcome of the point.

Obviously, facing Zverev's "aura suppression", Gawain not only did not shrink back, but his burning fighting spirit showed his belief in winning.

“Ultimate Sacramento”? So what?

Gao Wen is not afraid of facing players with this style of play because his brain is always working. If one attack doesn't work, he will try twice or three times. Through continuous offensive and defensive games, he can always find loopholes and then win - don't forget that Gao Wen himself is also a balanced offensive and defensive player.

Maybe Zverev is gifted, but in terms of style, Gawain is more at ease.

The first point took a full thirty-three shots to decide the final winner. The two players showed incredible form with their unyielding shots, but in the end it was Gawain who ended the point in an almost playful manner. The final scoring method was understated and relaxed, as if he was mocking Zverev's futility.

Gawain raised his clenched right fist high in the air and looked across the court at Zverev with bright eyes.

huff huff.

huff huff.

Both players were gasping for breath, and the fatigue after the anaerobic exercise was exactly the same, but neither of them backed down.

Zverev also looked at Gawain sharply, as if he could clearly capture the burning fire in his eyes. He could feel the gnashing determination even across half the court. The lines of his jaw and shoulders were completely tense, and his high morale was erupting.

The sights collided over the court without giving an inch, and the air was filled with smoke.

In the end, Zverev couldn't help himself and muttered a bunch of words in German. Gao Wen couldn't understand it anyway, but from his expression, it could be judged that they were probably not good words.

Gao Wen ignored him, turned his back to Zverev and let out a long, deep breath.

In the past, when I was young and ignorant, I lacked experience in competitions. After a long time of playing, I tended to be more honest and did not try to hide my fatigue. I was directly exposed to my opponents. However, the match against Kokkinakis made Gao Wen realize that

Don't let your opponent see that you are tired, otherwise he will definitely seize the opportunity.
