Oops.
Gawain's rhythm of lateral movement was disrupted, and alarm bells rang.
Although Murray's return ball speed slowed down, it does not mean that Gao Wen has an advantage, because the line, arc and landing point of the return ball have all changed.
Originally, the tennis ball should have landed near the coordinates two steps away from the sideline and one step away from the baseline, but now, the landing point has evolved into the coordinates one palm away from the sideline and half a step away from the baseline, unexpectedly close to the blind spot.
This also means that the hitting point that Gao Wen had calculated in advance was offset.
tread.
With each step he stepped on the ground.
Tap tap.
The foot that had already been in place had to take another big step forward, and the hitting point was not only outward but also upward, so the swing trajectory had to be adjusted accordingly.
The originally planned offensive was forced to be shelved.
Without getting his feet in place, he stretched out his upper body to reach the ball and used his forearm to sweep it with his forehand.
Bang! The ball was hit, but it was not what Gao Wen expected.
The net helped Murray a little bit at this moment.
Gawain's shot was aimed at Murray's position. Even in a passive situation, Gawain still did not forget to set a trap for Murray:
The ball at the foot.
Gawain knew Murray's mobile coverage ability, so he deliberately did not create an angle and smashed towards Murray's feet. This was already the best choice in a passive situation.
Murray took a series of small steps to make room, and hit the ball with his forehand at the bottom of his foot. The delicate control of his wrist was clearly revealed in the handling of this shot.
Backslash, backhand pressure.
Here it comes again, at the critical moment, Murray boldly distributes the ball to Gawain's backhand.
Dengdengdeng.
However, Gao Wen moved sideways at lightning speed, trying to increase his speed to the maximum, and then, following the centrifugal force of his body rushing outward, he swung his hands back with force: sweeping away the enemy!
"ah!"
Along with the force movement, the roar from deep in the dantian also exploded. The weight of the body and the explosion of muscles released all the power. A shot that went through the entire court sent the mustard yellow tennis ball flying towards Murray's left side of the court.
Turn defense into offense!
From Gawain to Murray, and then from Murray to Gawain, both sides were always looking for offensive opportunities while defending, and did not give up even in extremely difficult situations.
One shot of the ball can turn the situation upside down.
Huh! The audience had no time to shout out their surprise at Gawain's second attempt, but then they were strangled by surprise, so that all the sound disappeared, and they stared at the court in amazement.
Murray, to the net.
Very sudden, without warning, breaking the routine.
Gawain, who was trying to turn the situation around in an extremely passive situation, did not anticipate Murray's move to the net, because there was no sign that Murray was ready to enter the court to exert pressure.
But Murray went to the net.
Just as Gao Wen was about to shoot, he noticed Murray's net action from the corner of his eye, but it was too late to change the way and line of the shot. He had no time to hesitate and could only increase the rotation by changing the strength of his wrist.
Falling quickly over the net.
Simply put, it is a backspin ball, but the technical details are different because the trajectory of the entire parabola needs to be adjusted: according to the original trajectory, the tennis ball will continue to climb for a short distance after flying over the net, and then start to fall; but now, the tennis ball falls immediately after flying over the net, and it falls rapidly.
This is a very common and effective hitting technique when facing pressure from the opponent at the net, because it will cause the opponent to hit the ball below the horizontal line of the net. However, the distance to the net is too close, and there is not enough upward space for the return ball parabola, so it is very easy to hit the net and cause it to go down.
However, this technique has a difficulty index of ten stars and requires very strict wrist control and feel.
Unable to change the line of his shot or the action of his racket swing, Gawain could only break Murray's surprise attack by dropping the ball over the net in a split second.
Whoosh! The tennis ball flies quickly.
Trample!
Murray ran at full speed! Push! Gawain's body was pulled outward by the centrifugal force, but his left leg pushed hard on the ground to brake. He barely controlled his body in the earth-shaking collision. He didn't have time to adjust his center of gravity and balance. His feet quickly entered the court along the diagonal line, ready to defend against Murray's next shot.
Even if you can't defend, you need to create visual distraction.
Push off the ground, move forward, and run.
Then--
It can be seen that Murray is in his backhand position, holding the racket with one hand, giving up the control of the two-handed backhand, and instead making full use of the flexibility of holding the racket with one hand, finding a position to bounce the ball at his feet, blocking it with the racket, and with a flexible and soft flick and turn of his wrist, the tennis ball begins to spin rapidly.

Unload the force and counterattack.
Control, rotate.
So flexible and graceful, just like a dancing ballerina.
whoosh.
The mustard yellow light and shadow rose lightly, away from the ground, flapped its wings, flew over the net, and landed again on Gawain's side of the court.
Gawain was sprinting, but it was too late.
Ah! Ah! The whole audience stood up and cheered.
The ball bounced back from Murray's feet with such exquisite and delicate control that it just passed over the net and almost stuck to it, landing in Gawain's court. It was light and short, absolutely perfect.
Gawain was still sprinting and running, but the distance of half the court was like the Pacific Ocean, impossible to cross.
It's too late.
After all, it was too late.
From offense to defense, from defense to offense, the powerful collision of offense and defense transition, progressed to the end, but it was Murray who ended the point with an incredible and wonderful net handling. The unparalleled performance ignited the whole audience.
On his first match point, Murray showed his tactical mastery, breaking the balance with a sudden net shot on the last shot, and perfectly handling Gawain's sharp drop over the net, successfully completing a mini break, winning the second tiebreak in a row, defeating his opponent and becoming the champion.
Wonderful!
It is really wonderful!
The entire center court exploded, and all the spectators in sight stood up and applauded. The cheers, screams, and roars surged together like a volcanic eruption.
Not just for Murray, but more for this incredible duel, this breathtakingly tense encounter, the suspense of the outcome lasted until the last moment.
The applause was for Murray and also for Gawain.
Murray, with his hands raised high, roared and roared continuously, pulling his fans hard, bending down, and roaring with all his strength.
This game was really, really hard. He had been pushed to the extreme and even a little dazed. At the last moment of the game, he felt exhausted. He really needed some catharsis.
So Murray roared without reservation, his internal organs were aching, and then he let out a long breath, his knees were weak and trembling, as if his body had been hollowed out, and happiness and joy slowly surged up.
