Chapter 805: Double Crowning

Squeak!

The sound of the soles of shoes rubbing against the ground was as sharp and piercing as chalk scratching on a blackboard. Sparks appeared on the ground and continued to explode.

However, it can be seen that Berdych has excellent mobility and explosiveness. The advantages of his height and long legs are fully utilized. When facing the match point, he releases all his energy and even taps into the limit of his body's potential. His body turns into an afterimage as he stops and turns suddenly, but with just a few big steps, he has crossed half the court.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The wind is howling and the sun is boiling.

In the midst of the rush, Berdych was already there——

Caught it! In fact, Gao Wen's ball was of average quality, the power was not completely unloaded, the arc control was a little longer, and the final landing point was almost close to the bottom line of the service area.

From the baseline to the landing point, Berdych was as fast as lightning and arrived there in just a few big strides.

Chance!

An opportunity to turn defense into offense! Because Gawain's return ball was not able to completely unload the power, the rebound height after landing was sufficient, which also meant that Berdych's hitting point could remain above the net.

A push! A step! Berdych's forward momentum was very sufficient. He pushed his right leg and braked to control his body. His forehand had already raised the racket.

He was a little anxious, but at the same time, Berdych maintained his usual composure and did not break his balance due to his anxiety.

Pick and cut.

The forehand shot was very light and delicate, and for the fourth time in a row, it was pushed towards the blind corner of Gao Wen's forehand baseline.

Long-term, continuous suppression! Generally speaking, there are two ways to deal with small balls: short-term and long-term:

The battle in front of the net of "small ball vs. small ball" is the short-term strategy; the control of the deep area of ​​"small ball vs. baseline" is the long-term strategy.

Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it mainly depends on the positions of both sides during the game. Although short-term is more common, long-term can often create unexpected effects.

When dealing with a small ball, the most taboo thing is to return the ball neither too long nor too short, with the return ball falling in the half court or midfield position, which means giving the opponent a chance to counterattack and also putting yourself in an unfavorable situation.

At this time, Berdych chose the long game, preparing to break Gawain's routine.

He believed that after Gao Wen released the ball, he would choose to step into the court, so he cut a long line to break through Gao Wen's blockade, and the tennis ball landed behind Gao Wen, preventing him from completing the swing smoothly.

This is also true.

Gawain was indeed on his way up, ready to catch up in time and handle the follow-up at the net, but Berdych's stroke was not hidden -

This is also a shortcoming of Berdych. All his shots are as standard as textbooks. They are too regular, so he cannot lie.

At the same time, Berdych's batting routine is relatively stable, and there are objective changes, but overall it is still lacking.

Gawain immediately realized that Berdych was about to cut long, so he controlled his steps that were moving forward quickly, started again, and then stepped back again.

Even so, it was still a little slower; after all, footsteps were still slower than the flying speed of a tennis ball.

The tennis ball landed behind Gao Wen.

But Gao Wen did not seem to be panicking at all. He stepped back and led the racket with his forehand, while observing Berdych's position with the corner of his eye.

Bend the body slightly, make a motion of catching the moon from the bottom of the sea with your forehand, scoop it behind the body, and then use the strength of the waist and abdomen to push it completely.

The wrist, twisting and turning gently.

Then you can see the tennis ball flying out lightly, neither fast nor slow, swaying leisurely, but flowing like clouds and water, drawing a streamline as gracefully as a startled wild goose.

Smart and elegant.

Whoosh, the sound of the wind, the sunshine, and the noise all stopped, and everyone turned their heads together, staring intently at the mustard yellow light.

Then, the eyes fell on Berdych.

After Berdych completed the shot, he took a step forward, came to the net, and got into position, ready to volley at the net on the next shot.

Subconsciously, Berdych moved slightly towards his backhand position.

Because the entire backhand position is now empty, and because Gao Wen concentrated his firepower on attacking his backhand today, this is obviously a weak link.

So, out of habit, Berdych tried to protect his left side.

However, Berdych could not see Gawain's hitting action at all. The tennis ball landed behind Gawain, so that Gawain's body completely blocked Berdych's sight. He had no way to predict and could only move by inertia.

As soon as the center of gravity of the body started, the heels just left the ground, and then the mustard yellow arc was caught in the peripheral vision.

Slash!

Not a straight line! But a diagonal line!

Just as Berdych kept bombarding Gawain's forehand, Gawain also chose to break through Berdych's forehand at the critical moment.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Break the routine!

Damn it!

Berdych pushed the ground hard with his left leg, stopped and turned suddenly, started again, forcibly changed his center of gravity, and used all his strength to push his body to the right.

but!

Just a little bit! Still just a little bit!

Gawain's forehand hook was very delicate and light. The tennis ball drew a full arc and bypassed Berdych's position like a boomerang. It fell quickly after crossing the net. The strong rotation exploded into a ball of tiny ball hair like an angry bird, floating in the air.

Berdych was already flying out, but he was still just a little short, and watched the tennis ball fly out from the far end of his racket head.

Whoosh! Then, it disappeared.

Once you miss it, you miss it after all.

Match point, won! Game, over! The tennis ball just landed in the court, and the entire court fell into an extreme silence before being unsealed and regaining its vitality.

Then, Yu Jia could no longer control himself. He raised his hands high and jumped up as if he was a hedgehog curled up on his seat. He could not sit still at all, but could not make any sound. He just stared at the court with his eyes wide open.

champion!

“6:4”, “6:4”.

At the end of the game, Gawain defeated Berdych for the second time in a row, and after winning the doubles championship, he won the singles championship again.

Champion! Double champion!

Again! Again! Once again, Gawain brings surprises! Everyone is looking forward to and discussing what will happen in 2015? What will the Big Four do? Can the challengers go one step further? What will the professional tennis world look like? Will this year usher in a new situation, or will it return to the familiar track? In the first week of the season, all doubts will be answered, or more precisely, the season will officially begin!

And now, Gao Wen has handed in his first answer sheet.

The next second, Yu Jia had lost the ability to think, his brain went blank, and deafening shouts came to his ears, followed by only a roar.

Ah! Ah! The audience went crazy. Like Yu Jia, they knew exactly what this meant, because people had been talking about it and expecting it since the first day when the Doha team list was announced. And now—

Gao Wen, lived up to everyone's expectations! (End of this chapter)
