Chapter 1616 One and Two Shots
——Bent his knees, squatted, and lowered his center of gravity. Dimitrov walked into the wind, and the strong wind ruffled his hair, but his eyes did not waver at all, and he concentrated on locking the tennis ball that came up after landing.
A one-handed backhand, from bottom to top, pushed out flat. Just when the shot was about to be taken, the chest suddenly opened, and with the force of straightening the knees, the swing was completed. It was easy and freehand, and the strong wind stopped.
Whoosh!
Straight lines, dead ends, scores.
boom!
Court One, crazy, completely crazy.
After eighteen shots of fighting and stalemate, Dimitrov's one-handed backhand once again completed a straight-line score that shocked everyone, saving the set point.
Suspense, continuation.
From "40:15" to "40:40", this time it was Dimitrov's turn to save the score, and it was two consecutive times, refusing to surrender.
In the first set when Gawain served to win the game, the battle was still not open. At the critical moment, Dimitrov's magic ball once again broke the balance.
Not only Pulan, but also the neutral fans, the entire audience was suffocated.
Crazy, enthusiastic, excited, and excited, the excitement of this game continues. The voice calling Dimitrov on the scene has obviously climbed to a higher level, not because he doesn’t like Gawain, but because he calls for excitement——
In the past, the audience supported Gawain; now, the audience supports Dimitrov for the same reason. They are looking forward to the first set being more exciting, better and more intense, and they are looking forward to continuing to enjoy the game.
It's that simple.
Now, the crowd is calling for a tiebreaker.
Next point, set point, or break point?
After a brief period of commotion, the scene spontaneously returned to silence.
At the same time, a long queue has quietly formed at the entrance of Stadium No. 1. Although the stadium is already full, there is still an endless stream of fans who heard the news and are waiting at the entrance with a glimmer of hope:
Maybe, if someone chooses to leave because of Murray or other players' game, then they can enter Court No. 1 to enjoy this matchup.
Until now, Gao Wen has been the well-deserved leader in Youth Storm. Facing young players, Gao Wen has remained undefeated and firmly grasps the initiative without confrontation.
It can be seen that there is a gap between the current level of young players and Gao Wen.
Today, Dimitrov, who became famous earlier than Gao Wen and also won more recognition, has a good opportunity on the grass where he is best and most suitable. This has been proved in all aspects from the game process to the confrontation situation.
No one should miss out.
In Court No. 1, everyone held their breath to catch the whine of the wind.
a district.
Snapped.
Accompanied by a burst of white waves, Gawain still had no serve as soon as his shot hit the net.
Physical strength, breathing, rhythm, score, pressure from the opponent, etc., all affect the serving state from details, and deviations will inevitably occur in the end.
Otherwise, how can we say that serving is the most complex technique in tennis.
Second serve on deuce——
inner angle.
Gao Wen chose the inside corner of a reduced-force serve, trying to find the T-point to contain Dimitrov's backhand; but obviously, the quality of the second serve could not be compared with the first serve, the angle was not completely widened, and was accurately predicted.
Dimitrov reacted promptly, moved quickly, and jumped up.
However, Dimitrov stepped forward and cleverly took advantage of the flexibility of his one-handed backhand. He flicked the ball around and shook his racket head to complete the shot.
One skim, one strike, advanced ball——
The tennis ball, along the reverse slash, drilled towards Gawain's forehand like a fireball.
Although the power is limited and the overall force is not obvious; the speed of connection and the flick of the wrist increase the rhythm, and it comes in the blink of an eye.
Gawain's footsteps were obviously squeezed.
The action of just finishing the serve was not able to fully return to position, and the center of gravity was unstable; obviously, Dimitrov hoped to seize such a gap and disrupt Gawain's hitting by compressing the hitting rhythm.
However, Gawain was not at all panicked.
On one side, his feet move flexibly, and his accuracy is slightly lacking, but he still successfully enters the hitting range.
On the other hand, he took the shot early and deliberately took half the shot to take the initiative.
The final result is a just-right hitting point, completed by adjusting the lower body and attacking with the upper body, and the forehand sweeps out.
boom!
By leveraging the power of the impact and the impact of the impact force, the speed is increased by a level, and the speed of the racket head at the final moment of release changes the quality of the returned ball.
Tennis, across the court——
On the contrary, Dimitrov was caught off guard, and his footwork was obviously a little lacking, so that the final closing movement of the forehand was also lacking. Although the ball was hit smoothly, the flying parabola of the tennis ball obviously increased, speed and power. Nothing, falling into passivity.
The next second, Dimitrov could see Gawain entering the field.
Press forward, grab ascending points, and compress the rhythm, a typical grass-court style of play.
Dimitrov had no time to hesitate and subconsciously sprinted towards the left, not only to cover the backhand, but also because the entire court was open. This was an instinctive reaction.
But the next second——
Diagonal, forehand, backhand.
Gao Wen completed a half-court attack in the midfield and easily formed the winning point.
"AD:40".
Inventory, third.
"pretty!"
Xu Yang couldn't control himself and exclaimed in admiration. He couldn't help but give Gao Wen applause, but in the blink of an eye he was swallowed up by the roaring tsunami of the No. 1 stadium.
Even in front of the TV, you can feel the rolling heat wave that shakes the earth and the mountains.
"Bah! Gawain!"
"Bah! Dimi!"
The cheers and shouts collided together, and the audience went crazy.
However, the first set was still not over.
Previously, Gao Wen saved four points and continued the confrontation; now, Dimitrov needs to face the test of the third point.
Buzz…
There was still turmoil in the air, but all the spectators had quieted down.
--"oh!"
Incredible exclamations and lamentations sounded again, because Gawain's serve missed the net and went out of bounds, and only one ball went out of bounds. It was very, very regretful.
As a result, there was still no first serve, and we continued to face the dilemma of the second serve.
Gawain was not disturbed, concentrated, and prepared to continue serving.
The sun shines warmly on the surface of the skin, feeling the lightness and gentleness of the breeze, and the hot sweat slowly slides down the cheeks.
Bend your knees, push off the ground, throw the ball, stretch.
Finally, swing.
The entire serving movement is still smooth and smooth, and the white color is thrilling.
Second area, second serve, Gawain’s choice is——
For an instant, time and space stagnated, and then two lights and shadows could be seen.
On the opposite side of the court, Dimitrov started taking small steps to prepare for the attack. However, at the moment he was about to move, he could clearly see a swing of his center of gravity, first to the left and then to the right.
On this side of the court, the tennis ball broke away from Gawain's stroke and drew a full parabola upwards. Finally, it spun to the left and the track cut into the inside.
Dimitrov's judgment: outside corner, the classic routine of suppressing the backhand from the outside corner of the second zone, not to mention, the previous point was to suppress the backhand.
Gao Wen's choice: inside corner, break the routine, break through Dimitrov's forehand position, with strong side spin, continue to turn outside.
One comes, one goes.
dislocation.
Then, the tennis ball broke through Dimitrov's half-beat slow swing and rushed directly to the back fence of the court, erupting with a loud noise.
Second serve of ACE, cashing in on the count.
In the first set, the outcome was decided.
