Chapter 863: Keep your word

Backhand, backhand, backhand again, endless backhands...

Since the beginning of today's match, Gawain's hitting tactics were very simple and obvious, aiming at Kyrgios' backhand position and attacking comprehensively.

From the forehand position, hit the reverse diagonal line to suppress the backhand.

Backhand position, hit the wide diagonal, suppress the backhand.

At the same time, the combination of topspin and backspin, deep and shallow areas, force and light hitting, has been suppressing Kyrgios's backhand, making Kyrgios breathless.

The tactics worked.

But ordinary people know that any tactics cannot be used repeatedly continuously, otherwise once the opponent adapts to the tactics, it is time to counterattack.

So, what happened to Gawain today?

With Gao Wen's intelligence, he shouldn't be so stubborn.

"I got you!"

Seeing Gawain's return route, Kyrgios was not only not frustrated, but also excited.

Because this time, his footsteps were waiting for the backhand, and he caught it right away.

Although Gawain's rebound ball increased the rhythm of the shot to a higher level, Kyrgios was not afraid at all. He simply gave up adjusting his steps, straightened his knees, stood up straight, and hit the ball with a two-handed backhand without hesitation.

Didn't hit the ball quite right? No problem.

Incomplete swing? No problem.

Anyway, Kyrgios relies on his natural ability to force things to succeed. His two-handed backhand hits the opponent head-on like a home run in baseball.

If he succeeded on the sixth break point, he could also replicate it on the seventh break point.

Use the opponent’s force to counter attack!

And exert force!

It was obvious that Kyrgios was furious, he clenched his teeth, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes: from the turning movement to the force of the forearm, the inch force that burst out in an instant was fully released, and he fought head-on.

Humph! Kyrgios groaned, holding his breath tightly, gritting his teeth until the last moment, and then the tennis ball turned into a meteor, running through the entire court and rushing towards Gawain's backhand again.

vigorous!

So majestic!

"Backhand VS Backhand", this time, Kyrgios did not give in and fought back strongly. Let's see who will have the last laugh in the backhand confrontation.

He wanted to crush and destroy this disgusting guy in front of him head-on. He would make him suffer the consequences! Bang! Kyrgios's shot was very solid. Because Gawain grabbed a rising point and used a tape to complete the rebound and return the ball, he mainly pursued speed, but did not attach too much power, and the parabola was not completely suppressed. Kyrgios really caught it and launched an all-out attack.

The problem, though, is that Kyrgios’s two-handed backhand technique is flawed.

In fact, Kyrgios's forehand and backhand technical movements are not standard, but in the forehand position, he is relatively free, and with one hand he can exert force and hit hard relying on his talent; but this is not the case with the backhand position, because the left hand must support the racket. Once the technical movements are not standard, the force will not be sufficient.

Moreover, if you are not careful, the racket face may not be accurate and the parabola control of the ball will be wrong.

Therefore, Kyrgios' backhand is often used for attacking, and his shots are usually more transitional, and he will only exert force in extremely passive situations.

Just like the previous break point, when being pushed to the extreme, with no distractions in the mind and passive attacks, one can often achieve good results.

But if Kyrgios takes the initiative to shoot, the success rate will be very unstable because the supporting action of his left hand leads to unstable control of the racket face.

At this moment, Kyrgios was furious and hit the ball with all his strength. He had enough power, but he didn't pay attention to the angle and trajectory control. Even Kyrgios himself didn't know how effective the shot was.

On the contrary, Gao Wen understood it more clearly.

Gawain's attention remained highly focused. He noticed Kyrgios's racket-pulling action early on, and his eyes were fixed on the tennis ball.

Kyrgios' plan to crush the opponent with force was obviously a mistake.

Last year at the US Open, Gao Wen's backhand was no match for Kyrgios' forehand and backhand, and this is even more so now.

So, how does Gawain deal with it?

Not only did he not retreat, but he also continued to adjust his steps a little while standing above the baseline, not moving forward vertically, but stepping forward at a forty-five-degree outside angle.

A small half step.

Then, the two-handed backhand lead-in action is set up early, waiting for the incoming ball, with a sweeping roll, and the forearm and wrist are fully accelerated at the moment of touching the ball.

Boom! Sweep!

At the same time, a fully solid turning movement pulls the body forward continuously, and the nearly 180-degree turning movement assists in the completion of the swing.

The tennis ball disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Where have you been?

Slash.

Tear away the angles.

Gawain completely overwhelmed Kyrgios’ backhand power, and used his footwork and rotation to further increase the angle, hammering from top to bottom.

The tennis ball entered the small triangle formed by Kyrgios' left serving area and the sideline.

Backhand!

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Still backhand! "Backhand vs. backhand", "diagonal vs. diagonal", in the collision of power and strength, Gao Wen further tore the angle apart.

Land and bounce.

Then, disappeared.

Kyrgios's footsteps remained at his backhand position and did not move, but his steps were completely unable to keep up. He watched helplessly as Gawain swept the ball across and the tennis ball flew towards the audience stands.

Whoosh.

The air is still burning, but there is no trace of tennis ball.

"Game, high."

Break, success! Gao Wen watched the tennis ball land accurately in the blind spot, then clenched his fists, turned around, and found his own player box in the surging crowd. A smile bloomed on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't even need to scream or roar, his morale had reached its peak.

Boom! Yu Jia's entire brain went into a frenzy. He clenched his fists and stood up, roaring and screaming along with the audience.

Seventh break point!

After a battle that lasted twelve minutes and thirty-three seconds, Gawain successfully broke Kyrgios' serve and was about to serve for the set.

So tough! So cool! So wonderful!

"ah!"

"pretty!"

The entire Margaret Court Stadium was engulfed in flames. The home crowd covered their eyes and held their heads in disbelief, while the away crowd was all in a frenzy.

The red color suppressed the blue color and ignited the Margaret Court Stadium, and the golden sunlight all over the sky and the ground became dim.

Then, Gawain turned around and looked at Kyrgios, who was pinned to the spot on the other side of the court, with bright eyes and full of confidence: See! What a trustworthy person I am? I do what I say.

Kyrgios could feel the message conveyed by Gawain's eyes. His brain, which had been dazed for a moment, could no longer be controlled. He raised his hand and slammed the racket to the ground.

One, two, three...

It was as if the ground was Gawain's head.

In the blink of an eye, a good racket was broken into pieces.

Then, Kyrgios strode back to the dugout and picked up a brand new racket.

There was no break between games because Gawain was about to serve for the set, but he didn't know whether the angry Kyrgios could stay focused.

The fifth update.
