Chapter 951: Thunderous

One slap, turning defense into offense.

Djokovic seized the opportunity and hit a forehand. Although the power was not great, the landing point was tricky and the speed was fast, which immediately reversed the passive situation.

Forming suppression.

The incoming ball was almost under Gawain's feet, which meant that Gawain hit the rebound ball very passively, with no control at all.

Although Gao Wen tried to control the landing point deeper to limit Djokovic's attack, the effect was weak, which can be seen from the flight curve.

For Djokovic, this is a good opportunity to further expand his advantage.

Forehand.

Forehand!

Still forehand!

For three consecutive shots, Djokovic made full use of his control over the rhythm of his shots, combining fast and slow strokes, controlling the landing points, and varying the weight, firmly suppressing Gawain's forehand position and gradually building up his advantage. His continuous and torrential attacks left Gawain no room to breathe.

suppress.

Total suppression.

Djokovic showed his superb hitting feel and excellent point control ability. Next, he should attack the gap in Gawain's backhand.

However, Gao Wen still did not give up. He kept struggling with his forehand and kept adjusting, trying to improve the quality of his defense.

Here we come!

With a push and a collision, Gao Wen skillfully used the opponent's force to hit the opponent with his forehand. He was still in a defensive state, but his control of the entire parabola was excellent.

Finally, the depth of the tennis ball came out immediately, landing near the baseline, successfully squeezing Djokovic's position.

move!

At the first moment, Gao Wen moved towards his backhand position, and three consecutive shots were nailed on the forehand position, leaving the entire backhand space completely open.

Gawain was certain that Djokovic would attack his backhand, the key was, when? But…

Not this time.

Gao Wen's steps had just started, and his center of gravity was shifting sideways, when he discovered that Djokovic's forehand rebound had actually sent the tennis ball back to his forehand position for the fourth time.

Back kick.

Gao Wen went back and forth, and between a sudden stop and a quick turn, his feet were already in place again. He swept the ball with his forehand, and in his haste, his shot was a little hasty.

However, Gao Wen still paid attention to the distribution of landing points, and deliberately hit a straight/diagonal line with an incident angle of about 30 degrees, controlling the return ball in the middle, squeezing Djokovic's space for continuous attack.

So, what should we do this time? Should we continue to suppress the forehand with the backhand, or should we attack the backhand with the backhand?

What will Djokovic choose?

The moment he completed the shot, Gawain started for the second time, moving sideways towards his backhand, his eyes fixed on Djokovic's movements.

Djokovic, feeling the squeeze, took a series of small steps to adjust, turned his body sideways, and swung a windmill with his forehand.

Instant speed-up! It can be clearly seen that when the initiative advantage was weakened, Djokovic took the initiative to shoot, and the racket head speed instantly increased to a higher level.

Push off the ground!

Swing!

skateboard!

This is how Djokovic's forehand works. It's not the violent forehand like Nadal or Federer, but a clever forehand that hides a needle in a cotton ball.

Tennis ball, jumped out.

Low and flat.

Fast and spinning.

A typical topspin flat shot, after landing, the rebound height keeps rising higher and higher, and it continues to spin outward, enough to pull Gao Wen out of the entire court.

compression!

Compress again! Djokovic used his attack to compress Gawain's hitting space; and -

Backslash.

After suppressing his forehand diagonally for four consecutive shots, Djokovic finally launched an attack on his backhand. The attack seemed light but was actually murderous.

Whoosh! The tennis ball turned into a stream of light and crossed the entire court.

At the same time, two figures crossed each other.

On one side, Djokovic moved laterally to his left.

On one side, Gawain also moved towards the horizontal line on his left.

At both ends of the blue court, the speeding figures are like two strong winds, crossing each other and not meeting again until the end of the world.

Whoosh.

There was a strong wind.

Gao Wen could clearly feel the whirring sound hitting his ears. He caught Djokovic's movement route out of the corner of his eye and then focused all his attention on the flying tennis ball.

Straight lines, there really isn't much room left.

This ball was different from the situation in the fifth game of the third set.

At that time, Djokovic was bullying Gawain because he couldn't hit a straight backhand, so he blatantly defended the diagonal line. Unexpectedly, Gawain made a desperate breakthrough on the edge of the cliff.

Now, after the continuous confrontation in the third and fourth sets, Gao Wen's backhand condition has basically returned, even if it is not 100%, it is 90%, or even more. This also means that Djokovic can't and will not continue to take the big shot, so he also secretly lays a trap when hitting the ball.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The incoming ball was a super topspin ball, which continued to rise after it bounced off the ground, squeezing the space for Gao Wen to swing his racket. During the high-speed movement, he might even need to hit the ball above his shoulder, making it impossible for him to swing the racket effectively, let alone control the hitting point and the return line.

It will be hit directly and fly away. This is a high probability event.

Djokovic created a trap and completed a layout. The entire offensive routine had been rehearsed in his mind, so he calmly filled in the diagonal line.

The steps were very firm.

Facing the break point, Djokovic once again showed his world No. 1 style, from active to passive and then back to active, the whole situation continued to flow.

Gao Wen, had already made his judgment immediately.

The slash line is indeed a better shot choice.

However, when facing Djokovic's game, we must not be conservative or hesitate. We must be bold and resolute, and we must seize even the best opportunities.

If he hits the ball along the conventional route, Djokovic's baseline skills are indeed the best in the world today, unparalleled in the world, and the term "battling machine" is not for nothing.

Dare to break through! And dare to execute! This is the key to Gao Wen's two consecutive victories over Djokovic.

Tonight is no exception.

He rushed forward, pushing the ground hard with his left leg, but his stride did not stop. His body continued to move forward, and with the help of the inertia of the forward rush, he flew into the air.

Being suspended in the air means that the feet lose support and the upper body has to rely entirely on core strength to complete the rotation, which makes the swinging movement unstable.

But see!

Gao Wen switched from a two-handed backhand to a one-handed backhand, grabbed the racket with his right hand, and released the support of his left hand. His upper body fully stretched out like a roc spreading its wings, and his left and right hands stretched outward and backward at the same time. His legs flew into the air and crossed in a scissor kick, completely releasing the inertia of the forward charge.

racket!

Face it head on!

Grab the hitting point! Like a huge wave hitting a rock, a roar erupted from deep in Dantian, thunderous! Rising from the ground!

"ah!"

Bang.

The tennis ball hits the racket hard, spinning and rolling continuously, and you can even see sparks from the friction of the strings.

A burst of colorful lights! Mercury poured down from the sky to the ground!

Then, a powerful force came like a storm, sweeping the tennis ball back and bouncing it away.

Wow! The whole audience gasped, dumbfounded, unable to believe their eyes. So chic and so wanton, so flamboyant and so light, the collision of power and beauty, graceful and moving lines, released instantly.

Snap!

Click, click, click…

In the photo area beside the court, reporters could no longer control their impulse and pressed the shutter to record the moment. Then, their sight was drawn away by the flight trajectory of the tennis ball and they held their breath almost reflexively.

Thousands of eyes were focused on that tennis ball.

Like a shooting star.
