Chapter 956: The Qi sinks into the Dantian

...pop.

After the seventeenth bounce, Djokovic finally dropped the ball.

District 2.

Inner angle.

One shot, and it went in.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, Djokovic ignited his inner energy again, hitting an inside corner serve at a speed of 197 kilometers per hour, accurately entering the zone and landing very close to the T point.

Gawain started to fly. Because he couldn't move his feet in time, he could only rely on the extension of his upper body. He barely managed to stop and flew into the air.

One push and one rub.

I managed to hit the tennis ball back, but as you can tell from its parabola, the quality was average and it didn't land deep enough.

It is not known whether Djokovic will go to the net, but even if he doesn't, Djokovic will definitely launch an attack.

A pause, a turn.

Gao Wen then moved sideways to the left, standing in the backhand position, and accurately waited for Djokovic's forehand attack.

Normally, Djokovic's forehand and backhand shots are mainly "roll" and "pocket", which means that the absolute speed and power of tennis are not strong. On the defensive end, he can often form a perfect package to handle any incoming ball; but on the offensive end, he lacks a little impact.

This time, it was different. Djokovic hit a flat shot with enough power to make it feel slightly different even though Gawain made contact.

really!

In a hurry, Gawain's swing was not complete, and the control of the landing point of the return ball was also unsatisfactory. Then Djokovic's flurry of shots came again.

Moreover, Djokovic and Gao Wen had chosen to repeat the landing point stalemate several times before, and the confrontation of "forehand vs. forehand" or "backhand vs. backhand" ran through the whole process.

This time, Djokovic grabbed a rising point, with a backhand and a diagonal shot on the first shot, and from backhand to forehand, covering the entire court.

Keyword: change.

Generally speaking, this is basically the case for professional players. The more critical the moment, the more they tend to return to their most familiar and comfortable batting area. This is human nature, because what they are most familiar with is often what they are best at.

The Big Four are no exception.

Like tonight, in the fifth set, Djokovic's shots became more and more conservative, going forehand and backhand, over and over again.

But the biggest difference between the Big Four and ordinary players is:

If necessary, at critical moments, they dare to change and seize opportunities.

If you catch the key points, one or two points, that's enough, and then the outcome will be overturned.

At this moment, that is the case.

Djokovic broke the pattern of his shots in the fifth set within his comfort zone, putting Gawain in a passive position.

Previously, it was Gawain who took the initiative to attack, but now it was Djokovic who took the lead.

Here, Gao Wen noticed Djokovic's change of formation at the first moment, so how should he respond?

In fact, running back and forth between the left and right ends of the baseline is a basic skill in tennis. It is not difficult to run back and forth while maintaining inertia. The really difficult thing is to stop and turn suddenly.

Therefore, if Gawain wanted, he could have continued to fight with Djokovic at the baseline, but the problem was that in the last minute and 40 shots, Gawain's physical energy consumption was more serious than Djokovic's, and his breathing was still not adjusted, which also laid a hidden danger.

At this point, Gawain could no longer continue to play against Djokovic for forty shots. Djokovic wanted to change, so Gawain also needed to change.

While running wildly, Gao Wen noticed Djokovic's position with the corner of his eyes.

No internet access.

Gao Wen was a little surprised. He thought Djokovic should have gone to the net to put pressure on the opponent, but that was not the case. Does this mean that Djokovic's strategy is still to stick to the baseline and fight a tug-of-war?

Since Djokovic didn't go to the net, Gawain lured Djokovic to the net. His main purpose was to disrupt his opponent's plan.

Step in place!

Forehand, without hiding his intention to hit the ball, he raised the racket high from the beginning and cut the ball over.

Huh! There were bursts of exclamations over the stadium.

Gao Wen's tactical choice was very sudden and unexpected. In fact, his footsteps were in place in time and he did not lose his position. He could hit the ball with his forehand, but Gao Wen chose a short ball to break the deadlock, which was indeed very unexpected.

Moreover, the quality of the ball is average.

Djokovic's consecutive forehand attacks were solid and fierce, taking complete initiative. From a technical point of view, this was not the best time to drop the ball.

For small ball, control and force unloading are important, but if the force is too fierce, there is no control, and effective force unloading cannot be achieved, then the small ball may become an opportunity for the opponent to attack.

This time, Gao Wen was not able to unload enough force, so the arc and landing point of the ball were unsatisfactory.

Djokovic's chance!

However--

Like the audience, Gawain's tactical choice also broke Djokovic's expectations, so that his steps were slightly slower to enter the baseline.

However, Djokovic's steps were still very calm. He entered the baseline, stood in the middle of the court, hit a backhand with both hands, and swept diagonally to complete the shot.

Like a home run.

Boom! The problem is not with the first shot, but with the next shot.

Djokovic knows that everything happens for a reason and that abnormality must be caused by something strange.

When Gawain was relatively passive but still had room for adjustment, he chose to drop the ball. What was his purpose? To lure Djokovic to the net? Or something else?

So, what should Djokovic choose? Because he knows that his return did not grab the rising point, and with Gao Wen's defensive ability, there should be no problem, so the key should be the connection of the next shot attack.

This is the charm of game and layout.

Go online?

Becker and Djokovic have n't worked together long enough, and Djokovic lacks confidence in his net skills.

At a critical moment, a little hesitation will result in a little lack of movement.

Then, Gao Wen's return ball hit him.

Backhand, diagonal, deep.

From these three key words, we can see that the attack was almost aimed at Djokovic's position.

In a flash, Djokovic took small steps back and finally returned to his more confident bottom line. Even with his body squeezed, he showed the style of the world's number one with his two-handed backhand.

Although he pinned his hands against his body, he kept his upper body out of the way and used the swing of his forearms to push the ball forward, using the force to push the tennis ball back forcefully along a diagonal line.

Hitting the ball against the wall! What you are trying to do is time and rhythm.

Deep and tricky!

Djokovic responded quickly at the critical moment and actually controlled the return ball within the large triangle area on the left side of Gao Wen's baseline, aiming at the blind corner.

Gao Wen had just regained a little advantage, but it was immediately resolved by Djokovic, and then Gao Wen fell into a passive situation again.

But see——

Gao Wen's footsteps paused, and he stood firm. He immediately raised his hands to backhand the ball, staring at the ball with a sharp gaze, and took the initiative to meet the strong force without fear! Qi sinking into Dantian!

Shocking!

Like Mars hitting the Earth, it collided head-on, and a thunderous energy erupted from the depths of the soul.

Djokovic immediately felt the threat of the nuclear bomb, and all the hairs on his back stood up: Oh no! Did he just walk into the tiger's mouth?
