Chapter 947: Heavy Punch
The air condensed slightly.
The situation of the game was slightly rippled, and Djokovic's state seemed to fluctuate slightly.
Even Djokovic is a mortal. He gets angry, furious, hesitant and makes mistakes. Like Murray, he always needs to vent.
Did the "seven points chaos" really have no impact on Djokovic? Moreover, in today's final, Djokovic's own state also fluctuated a lot in the first two sets. In addition to the unstable serve and forehand, the accidental injuries to his fingers and ankles, and the physical exhaustion caused by the high temperature and sultry weather all affected the progress of the game invisibly.
Only Djokovic himself probably knows the real situation, but he still relied on his rich experience and strong aura to stand firm and control himself at the critical moment. In the end, he performed better in key points in both sets, which brought out the huge advantage of "2:0" lead.
Now, the volatility appears again, and it is the critical point again.
A new round of game between Djokovic and Gawain is about to begin.
"40:AD".
District 2.
Snap. Snap. Snap.
Djokovic bounces the ball.
Snap. Snap. Snap.
Djokovic was still bouncing the ball, very focused and engaged, as if this was the only important thing in the world, with all his energy concentrated on the action of bouncing the ball.
Twelve times, thirteen times, fourteen times...
finally!
Before the audience was almost suffocating, Djokovic tossed the ball, and the whole movement was very stretched and smooth.
One shot.
In!
The world number one once again showed his big heart in the crucial game and points, and when he urgently needed a serve, he served it.
That's what power is.
192 kilometers per hour.
The speed and power did not reach the extreme, but the landing point that Djokovic wanted was very tricky.
T point.
It hit the T spot accurately, and the center line referee of the serving area made a firm in-bounds gesture, confirming that Djokovic's serve was impeccable.
Gao Wen was put in a passive position.
Although Gawain had predicted that Djokovic was going to attack the inside corner and moved his feet in time, Djokovic's serve was too good, cleverly resolving Gawain's accurate prediction and early movement, and then further pushing Gawain into trouble.
Stretch out.
a little.
Gawain's body had been stretched to the limit, very reluctantly, and he could even feel the stretching of his forearm muscles, but he was still barely able to tap the racket head lightly, relying entirely on the strength of his wrist to quickly pull it up, adding as much rotation as possible along the swing movement around his head.
However, the time is still too short. The contact time with the ball is just a split second. How can one achieve the ideal hitting effect?
Whoosh! The tennis ball bounced back in an instant, drawing a full parabola, like a rainbow across the sky.
Djokovic went to the net.
Serve and volley!
It wasn't because Gawain's return was not of good quality, but because Djokovic had planned to serve and volley from the beginning, so he deliberately chose this landing point.
assault!
Djokovic's speed of reaching the net was extremely fast. With a series of small steps, he was already in the serving area in a blink of an eye. He was highly focused and observed the rotation of the incoming ball.
So, another high-pressure ball?
No! This time, Gawain's touch on the ball was too short, the topspin was not fully pulled up, and the entire parabola was not high, but rather a bit awkward, neither high nor low.
If it is a high pressure, the ball is hit too low; if it is a volley, the ball is hit too high.
It was a small accident that Djokovic found a bit troublesome to deal with.
However, this is not a problem for Djokovic. Although he just made a high-pressure mistake, Djokovic will definitely not show mercy.
The steps to the net were very determined, without any hesitation, the footsteps were already close to the net -
What should I do if the ball is not hitting the right spot? Use your footwork to buy time, and then you can get to the right spot.
When Djokovic's footsteps are close enough to the net, he can volley the ball like a shot block before the tennis ball continues to rise.
It's that simple.
However, it can be seen from Djokovic's volleying technique that he was more careful and took the insurance approach with a forehand side cut.
A sweeping block that takes away the force.
Bang.
It is not about hitting the ball with a "bang", but relying on the strength of the wrist to complete the control, compress the hitting time as much as possible, and improve the rhythm of returning the ball.
Slash.
Blind spot.
but……
Wait, why did Gawain appear on the flight path of the tennis ball? Djokovic's heart suddenly contracted, and he took small steps to adjust, preparing for the second volley at the net, but it seemed that his steps were too close to the net, and he was a little too late -
At this time, Gao Wen was already in place.
Tap tap.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
High speed! Lightness! Agility! Gawain's steps were very steady and calm, without any panic at all.
Before Djokovic served, Gao Wen was wondering if his opponent would choose to serve and volley. Tonight, in the first set, in Djokovic's first service game, Gao Wen also had three consecutive break points, but Djokovic reversed and saved his serve.
At that time, Djokovic frequently used the tactic of pressing at the net, catching Gao Wen off guard and turning the situation around like cutting melons or vegetables.
Gao Wen is a smart man. How could he forget the game he just experienced tonight?
So he knew that under Becker's coaching, Djokovic consciously adopted the serve-and-volley tactics, changing his rhythm of defending the baseline, thereby disrupting his opponent's rhythm and achieving an unexpected impact.
So, is it possible that this is the point?
really!
Djokovic went to the net.
So, how will Djokovic choose his volley route?
Considering the landing point of the serve, the line of Gawain's return, Djokovic's position after he came to the net and other factors, a forehand diagonal volley is a high probability event.
In a split second, Gawain had already made his judgment, moved his feet ahead of time, and then -
In place!
Squeak! He pushed off the ground, braked suddenly, controlled his body, glanced at Djokovic's position with his peripheral vision, and hit him with his forehand.
The inertia of the running start, the force of gravity, the weight of the body, all the energy is added together, and with a flick of the wrist, the speed of the racket head instantly increases to the extreme state.
"ah!"
Strike hard!
Ah! The accumulated strength and speed were fully released at this moment, without reservation, and the entire state and energy were raised to a whole level. One could even feel the surging and scorching heat of the burning soul.
Bang.
whoosh.
A collision and a rush.
Tennis ball, gone.
Djokovic leaped toward his backhand position, his whole body jumping high, and he could feel the power roaring deep in his dantian.
However, it was too slow, too slow after all.
Djokovic just watched the tennis ball spinning at high speed, passing over the net, breaking through the air, and easily breaking through his own volley.
straight line!
Gao Wen chose to break through Djokovic's backhand and completed the pass with a forehand straight line.
Pop.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the tennis ball fell and landed accurately within the bounds, with a large space left before the sideline and the baseline, without any problems.
Score.
Seal, release.
Break, success! In an instant, the volcano erupted!
