Match Point - Chapter 1414

“40:40”.

Gao Wen raised his head and glanced at Nadal.

It can be clearly seen that the position of receiving the serve is slightly retreated, and the distance is widened.

This also means that Nadal is going to take the serve first, and then the two sides will enter a round of see-saw. This is also the most common and common way for Nadal to win on clay.

At the same time, judging from the details of the position, Nadal slightly protected his backhand position. Although Gao Wen had just suppressed Nadal’s forehand to score consecutively, it did not directly change Nadal’s tactical choice.

From these details, it can be seen that Nadal was not affected by the previous point at all, and was still focused and high-spirited.

a district.

Gawain, serve.

Outside corner, backhand—

Obviously Nadal’s position is more backhanded, but Gao Wen still hits it head-on, which is obviously a well-thought-out choice of serve.

With a speed of 195 kilometers per hour, Gawain speeded up, and the most important thing is, the first shot went in.

Tennis, rushing over quickly, and then you can see that Nadal’s two-handed backhand swing space has been suppressed, and there is no room for turning, so that Nadal can only rely on the pulling action of his arms to complete the push.

slash.

Deep – at least as deep as possible.

Gao Wen’s pupils shrank slightly: Here we come.

Nadal’s backhand was chosen for the serve this time, not for suppression, but for containment. Considering Nadal’s position, it should be a high probability event to hit the ball with a slash, and the speed and rotation will not be too fast.

This is also one of Nadal’s habitual routes for receiving the serve.

Sure enough, Gao Wen’s guidance and settings worked.

But Gao Wen didn’t fluctuate his attention at all due to joy, he adjusted his footsteps continuously, and moved a small half step diagonally backwards, and then he could already see Nadal’s shot coming towards his face.

Compared with the forehand, Nadal’s backhand is more daring to hit the flat shot, that is, to use the turning movement to quickly complete the pressure. The overall speed and rhythm of the ball are faster than the forehand, but the disadvantage is that the tail strength and ball quality are not enough.

At this time, the ball came very fast, but Gao Wen’s forehand was ready to hit the ball.

Push off the ground and control your steps.

Stretch, the roc spreads its wings.

However, at the moment when the shot was about to be released, the forehand changed the way it was held, from pumping to cutting—

small ball.

It turned out to be a small ball!

From Gao Wen’s position and movements, it can be seen that all of this was planned and calculated by Gao Wen, and everything is under control.

In the previous point, Gao Wen continuously suppressed Nadal’s forehand.

At this point, Gao Wen made a surprise attack on the small ball, and once again made a forehand breakthrough from Nadal:

Gao Wen not only chose the small ball, but also chose the small ball with a straight forehand, which also forced Nadal to rush from the right side of the baseline to the left side of the net, completing the diagonal line with the longest physical distance on the tennis court.

Kick off.

run.

sprint.

Nadal ran at full speed, only slightly surprised, but Nadal’s second reaction speed was very fast, starting the first time and then accelerating.

Although this season, Nadal’s movement rate has fluctuated slightly, but standing on clay, Nadal’s footsteps are still unparalleled in the world.

The footsteps just crossed the midfield, and before entering the bottom line of the service area, the sliding step rushed out, leaving a white wave on the clay.

At the same time, on the other side of the court, Gao Wen didn’t stand on the baseline in an orderly manner, wasting the advantage established by his bold tactical choice, and immediately followed his footsteps into the court.

Observe while rushing forward, while keeping the center of gravity light on your feet.

Fighting in front of the net depends entirely on on-the-spot reactions. If the two sides are familiar with each other, there are still some routines to follow, otherwise it depends entirely on intuition and conditioned reflex.

At the Philippe Chatrier stadium, there was no sound, even the wind stopped, and the audience watched two figures sprinting towards the net.

Like two planets that are about to complete their historic meeting.

Gao Wen was observing Nadal.

Nadal is also watching Gao Wen.

In fact, Gao Wen’s forehand ball is of good quality, not perfect but full of effects. The strong backspin caused the tennis ball to hit the ground without much follow-up force, and was pulled by gravity again towards the embrace of the ground.

However, Nadal’s ultra-long sliding step still came to the net accurately, and the tennis ball had already entered his control.

Danger!

Gawain’s muscles tensed up, and he focused his attention on Nadal’s every move. Subconsciously, his footsteps were ready to move towards the backhand.

Not only because the backhand position is empty, but also because Nadal doesn’t have much space to hit the ball, it should be the most sensible way to choose the diagonal line to complete the return from the lowest position of the net.

However!

Gao Wen’s footsteps hopped lightly on the spot, and was about to move laterally to the left, ready to attack and accumulate energy for culling and intercepting, but he noticed the change of Nadal’s hitting technique in a blink of an eye.

One turn, it’s like playing guns and flowers.

In fact, it was just one movement, and there was no time to observe and judge carefully, but Gao Wen stopped the movement reflexively, and then started the second time.

The figure flickered, leaving an afterimage, and then moved horizontally to the right.

Immediately after—

straight line. Forehand.

Nadal also showed his delicate touch in front of the net the moment he hit the ball.

There is a common misconception that Nadal is a powerful player just like his alias “Brute Bull”, so his technique is inevitably not delicate enough; but this is a big mistake, Nadal’s front-net skills are comparable to Federer , far stronger than the other two giants.

In front of the net, Nadal has a variety of hitting techniques. Although he does not often go online, his scoring rate in front of the net is very, very amazing, which can be called a hidden weapon.

It was as if at this moment, with just one wrist control, he hit the ball in a straight line before the tennis ball was about to jump twice, tearing a hole out of the desperate situation.

shock!

Gao Wen’s heart contracted slightly, but immediately regained his composure, because his second reaction was judged correctly, and a lateral step had already been intercepted.

From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at Nadal’s position. Just after finishing the long-distance slide, Nadal immediately completed the adjustment and moved to the right—

Make up for the backhand.

There was no way. At this time, Nadal’s right side and Gao Wen’s left side of the court were basically cleared, and the two players basically faced each other in a vertical straight line across the net. The gap was really clear.

Gao Wen, his body was moving sideways, but the racket was lightly and nimbly thrown forward——

Just like a volleyball block, the moment the tennis ball crosses the net, before the tennis ball falls, it just jumps forward.

At this time, the body is no longer able to exert force, relying entirely on the swing of the wrist and forearm.

a push.

one free.

The tennis ball has returned along the straight line. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

Time and space, momentary standstill—

Nadal realized that something was wrong, started the second time, stopped and turned and flew over again.

Racket, rampage, but still…a bit slower.

A little slower.

The tennis ball has already crossed Nadal’s position and landed in the space behind him.

As light as a surprise, winning by cleverness, although there is no big opening, big closing and strong collision, it vividly interprets another charm of tennis.

Fighting in front of the net, Gao Wensheng—

“AD: 40”.

After saving four break points and counting, Gao Wen’s serve point appeared for the second time.
