Chapter 1608 Familiar with the Routine

Court No. 1 erupted.

A mushroom cloud-like heat wave rose above the stadium, so turbulent and crazy that the spectators who were coming and going at the All England Club couldn't help but stop and look over in astonishment, and the spectators who were watching the game at the Center Court also pricked up their ears - —

The rolling air waves overflowed overwhelmingly, and the madness boiling and burning in the air surged with fangs and claws, and the sunlight at noon was eclipsed.

——Attention-grabbing.

However, the spectators in the stadium were completely unaware of the storm they had set off. One or two people were immersed in the enthusiasm, jumping, cheering and releasing.

Wonderful, happening right now.

From Dimitrov's forehand fairy ball to Gawain's passive pass through the net, the first set entered the end of the set and also ushered in the second climax.

"40:40".

The suspense still continues——

ACE, Dimitrov successfully got the second set point.

Scored with a forehand diagonal line, and Gao Wen once again saved the point.

The atmosphere was so tense that the air almost stagnated, and the audience went completely crazy.

Pulan felt that his heart was going to explode and he was so nervous that he couldn't breathe.

For a moment, Pu Lan wanted to close her eyes or avert her gaze, not daring to watch any more; but she still convinced herself that she chose to come to watch the game, not just because she wanted to witness it with her own eyes, not just because she wanted to fight side by side, not just because she wanted to watch it. Do you just want to accompany Gawain on this journey?

breathe. Take a deep breath.

Pulan clasped her hands together and muttered silently: break point, break point, break point. She didn't expect Gawain to break serve, she just hoped to see a glimmer of possibility. After all, in the entire first set, Gawain didn't get a single break point. Now, She just hopes Gawain sees a glimmer of opportunity.

The whole place was completely silent, and it seemed as if one could feel the roaring bulge and impact of the heart above the eardrums.

Dimitrov, serve.

One shot, enter the zone.

Inside corner!

This time, in the first zone, Dimitrov broke the routine, attacked the inside corner, and broke the game with a backhand from Gawain.

Obviously, Dimitrov knows that he needs to ensure the threat of his first serve, otherwise in the bottom line round, now Gao Wen has improved his condition to reverse the situation and gain the upper hand. For him, the risk index has increased, and he needs his own serve. Now it is the so-called The critical moment, the moment to see the truth.

Moreover, it is not a casual serve, but a serve that guarantees quality and threatens.

Attention, high concentration.

Dimitrov's muscles all over his body tensed up. Following the completion of the serve, he quickly adjusted his steps to return to position, taking small steps to maintain vitality. His eyes were fixed on the tennis ball and Gao Wen, and after catching Gao Wen's movements, his body was already Move as soon as possible to seize the opportunity.

"Yes."

Dimitrov was overjoyed. Gawain failed to complete the swing with his backhand. In the end, he just barely touched and knocked the tennis ball back in an unconventional way. This also meant that there was no control at all. Dimitrov Establish an advantage by serving and win the opportunity to connect with the offense.

The only thing that needs attention is that the serve is from an inside corner, so that when Gao Wen cannot control the tennis ball, the return ball basically returns to the center.

Moreover, the parabola is slightly deeper, only about two steps away from the bottom line.

This also means that Dimitrov has offensive opportunities, but the tactical layout of the offensive line and placement needs to be carefully considered.

Especially in the previous point when he had the offensive initiative and exposed his offensive intentions, so that Gao Wen finally broke through the net and scored. This point naturally requires more concentration, dedication and thoroughness.

Broken steps.

Continuous broken steps.

Without any hesitation, Dimitrov made a series of small adjustments, moved to his forehand position, spread his wings like a roc, and took action.

slash.

deep zone.

This is Dimitrov's signature forehand slash, crossing the entire court to find the big triangle in the deep diagonal area. Like a swordsman in white clothes, his throat is sealed with blood. Although it is not very powerful, he can It is good at speed; but its tail power is strong, full of impact, and the suppression of the entire ball quality is very prominent.

Without any need to think, Dimitrov chose this route without hesitation, the route he is best at and the best——

Gawain, accurate prediction.

Classic also means cliche. There are often no secrets between opponents who are familiar enough, and it can be easily predicted.

This is the showdown between the Big Four:

There are no secrets, so we need to find new ways. There are no secrets, so we need to collide with each other. There are no secrets, so we have to improvise on the spot.

The same is true for Gao Wen and Dimitrov. Although this is their first official match, they have a certain understanding of each other's routines through daily training and watching their friends' matches more than once, plus their doubles partners. At critical moments, Gawain's capture also captures the key points.

Stopping and turning suddenly, after receiving the serve, Gao Wen also adjusted his center of gravity with a series of small steps. After a slight pause, he moved laterally to the right.

As soon as he took a step, his body was ready. In the chaos, he was highly focused and stared intently at Dimitrov's return ball. Judging from the parabola, this should be a shot aimed at the deep area. Even if Gawain is successfully in place, he will inevitably encounter squeeze.

So, what should Gawain do?

With one kick and a pause, the body was already controlled by his footsteps. Then, his right leg deliberately took a small step back to make room for a forehand strike.

Accident!

Gao Wen did not hit the rising point forward, but retreated slightly to open up space, and then made a big forehand spin and a round-the-head Na-style shot.

Topspin.

Strong topspin.

Faced with Dimitrov's forehand diagonal attack in the deep zone, Gao Wen used a forehand swing around the head to hit a super topspin.

Spin, spin violently, and you can clearly see the mustard yellow high-speed spin, along the diagonal, falling sharply towards Dimitrov's forehand.

On that side, Dimitrov reacted quickly, adjusted his steps continuously, and was accurate.

However, just when he was about to hit the ball, Dimitrov realized that Gawain gave up his power and speed and used strong topspin to pull out a deep ball. The real purpose was actually to hit the ball. This was a typical defensive style. attack--

In other words, on the surface, it is defensive, but in fact, it creates difficulties for the opponent through the combination of rotation and landing point, and finally achieves the purpose of counterattack.

You can tell at a glance that this is a clay-court tactic. It may occasionally be seen on grassland, but due to the characteristics of grassland, such counterattacks are not common.

Transitioning from clay to grass, Gao Wen still occasionally uses clay tactics to enrich his rhythm.

Dimitrov was a little surprised.

Although the steps were already in place, Gao Wen's shot hit the ball deep enough, pressing on the sideline near the baseline, creating a strong topspin and creating a violent impact.

Dimitrov tried to sweep the ball with his forehand, but the hitting point was a little early. After realizing this, he quickly swept the forehand with another beat to avoid being unable to hold the ball down due to strong top spin. The tennis ball flew into the stands, but with this pull, the arc of the return ball increased.

Whoosh!

High, gently, the tennis ball rises.

Moreover, this was not an active topspin, but a passive situation in which the tennis ball was not controlled, resulting in a high ball, which instantly negated all Dimitrov's advantages.

Oops!

Dimitrov's alarm bell rang.
