Chapter 396: Courageous Action

Beautiful!

Agassi finally couldn't hold back any longer, he stood up suddenly and applauded Gawain. In this point, Gawain was not only bold and careful, but also his meticulous tactical layout and decisiveness in key shots were eye-catching, truly showing the competitive temperament of a top player.

Praiseworthy!

It's not just Agassi.

Tobias also raised his fist high, cheered, and celebrated for Gawain passionately. Then, from the corner of his eye, he could see the brand representatives being drowned in the heat of the venue. One by one, they also became excited and unconsciously integrated into the scene, feeling the heat.

Such a performance was absolutely brilliant! Louis Armstrong Stadium was instantly ignited, but Gawain did not celebrate wantonly.

He stood in front of the net, clenched his fists, and looked at Wawrinka with a firm and sharp gaze, revealing a belief in victory.

Yes, he will win! When he steps on the court, he will go all out for victory, fight to the end! No one can know the outcome until the end of the game!

Firmly, Gawain took his destiny into his own hands!

Gawain and Wawrinka's eyes met quickly, and one could sense a raging flame rising up, sparks flying everywhere, and it was even more turbulent amid the cheers of the entire audience.

"30:40".

Break point is also a set point.

In Wawrinka's must-win serve, Gao Wen got another break point, but in this match, Gao Wen still hasn't been able to complete any break points so far. In the second set alone, he has missed five break points. So what about this time? Is one break point enough?

Gurgling.

Gurgling.

The air at the scene was burning, just like the afternoon sun that filled the sky and the earth; the orange-red halo lit up the entire world.

Wawrinka was completely unmoved, and his experience of numerous storms and waves was revealed. He took a breath and walked to the second zone, ready to serve. Wawrinka looked up at Gawain's position, determined his serving tactics, and then -

Push off the ground! Bend your knees! Throw the ball!

Wawrinka's entire serving action is very simple. He does not make full use of the power of kicking his legs. Even the turning action is a bit simple. He relies more on the power of swinging his upper body to complete the serve. Moreover, the serve bounces relatively high after landing, and it is not a simple flat hit.

116 mph (187 km/h).

Outside corner! Backhand! The key score at the critical moment, Wawrinka used a big outside corner serve to suppress Gao Wen's backhand.

In today's match, Gao Wen tried to force a change of line with his two-handed backhand, but Wawrinka's serve changes were also very fast, and the strong rotation often suppressed Gao Wen's space for changing line. Because of the high-speed serve, the backhand swing action could not be completed in time, so the last "closing the door and retrieving the racket" action of the line change was difficult to complete, and he had made several mistakes before.

This time, Gao Wen did not predict the landing point of Wawrinka's serve, so he did not take the risk of forcibly changing the line, but chose the conventional diagonal return.

However, the angle of Wawrinka's serve was not completely torn apart, and Gawain only needed to take a sideways step to get into position, buying himself some time to step forward, so Gawain's return ball was retracted diagonally, deliberately hitting a diagonal return ball close to the middle, pressing the landing point very deep, almost within one step away from the baseline.

Boom!

The return ball hit back directly. Wawrinka did not adjust his steps. He raised his hand and hit it with a backhand. However, because Gawain's landing point was very deep, it blocked Wawrinka's force. So the backhand also returned a transition ball, and pulled the tennis ball back to the middle, squeezing Gawain's hitting space with a strong topspin.

In the first set, Gawain had been looking for such a landing point and rotation to "pin" Wawrinka's hitting action and prevent him from exerting force, but it was obvious that he needed to adapt to the situation in the first half, so the landing point and rotation were always wrong: either too shallow, and Wawrinka stepped into the court and attacked "inside-out" to win the winning point; or too deep, and his return ball went out of bounds; or there was not enough rotation, which resulted in Wawrinka hitting the rebound ball very easily, and he was able to easily resolve the dilemma created by Gawain.

Now, Gao Wen's hitting feeling finally met expectations, and Wawrinka's backhand attack was not so smooth, and he was forced to return a transition ball.

However, Wawrinka's topspin ball was also very deep, and Gawain did not find any good opportunities. Although he still tried a forehand diagonal attack, Wawrinka easily formed a counter-attack. This kind of strong collision of uniform speed round balls is exactly Wawrinka's favorite batting mode.

Back and forth.

Wawrinka attacked with a backhand diagonal shot, but Gawain predicted it in advance and responded with a backhand straight attack, which put Wawrinka in a dilemma. However, Wawrinka's forehand was still very durable, and he countered with a big diagonal shot, which put Gawain in a passive position again in an instant.

What is the difference between a backslash and a diagonal slash? Take the forehand as an example. A horizontal sweep from right to left is a regular diagonal slash, which can compete with the opponent's forehand. But a slight outward sweep from right to right, which falls to the opponent's backhand, is a backslash. When the return ball lands in the middle, players often use this "backslash" to disrupt the opponent's inertia of lateral movement.

Wawrinka was in a passive position, but he used a combination of backslash and diagonal slash to regain the advantage.

Although Gawain unexpectedly used his forehand to leverage the force to hit a straight line, his racket swing was not sufficient, and the entire flight line and force action were a little lacking. Then you can see that Wawrinka has arrived in the first place.

Oops!

When Gao Wencai saw Wawrinka's braking action, he immediately realized that the situation was not good, and reflexively ran towards his backhand position again.

really!

Tap tap tap, tap tap tap.

Wawrinka moved very easily, even taking a few more steps, adjusting from a backhand shot to a sideways forehand shot, forcing a lightning-like diagonal horizontal shot, and then the tennis ball shot past like a cannonball.

Obviously, Wawrinka made a killing move.

For the sideways forehand, because of the stretch of the body and the inertia of movement when turned sideways, the body's strength can often be added more, and the power may be greater than the normal forehand; but at the same time, after turning sideways, the entire space on the court is given up, and the difficulty of defense increases sharply, so turning sideways cannot be blindly, but you need to grasp the opportunity.

When Wawrinka actively chooses to hit a sideways forehand, it means he is ready to score.

Courageous! Determined! Strong!

Facing the break point, Wawrinka was proactive in this point. He had taken the initiative to attack twice in the multi-shot round, and this time he turned sideways and used his forehand to seize the opportunity and hit the tennis ball directly.

Bang! In the whistling wind, a mustard yellow light can be seen disappearing in the orange halo that fills the sky and the ground.
