Boom, boom boom boom——

The entire stadium was in a frenzy, like a bomber flying over at low altitude. Court No. 1 was enveloped in a surging roar, and no one was exempt.

From "7:8" to "It's so exciting and shocking, it fully demonstrates the charm of lawn tennis and makes your head explode."

Outside the stadium, there is no exception. More and more fans are gathering at the entrance of the stadium. Everyone's face is filled with excitement and excitement that cannot be accurately described. Even if they cannot enter the stadium, it has no impact at all. They can still Enjoy the carnival feast of this game up close.

Even those fans who were looking forward to it never expected that the match between Gao Wen and Dimitrov would be so exciting.

If you turn on the live TV or watch the live score at this time, the audience may be full of confusion. Isn't it just Gao Wen who is in the lead? Is there anything to be surprised about?

And those viewers who watched the live broadcast will shake their heads repeatedly, "No, no, no, don't look at the score. The ups and downs of the game cannot be simply summarized." But fortunately, it is not too late to start the live broadcast now, and they can still join this game. party to witness the final outcome of the second set.

First Dimitrov saved the count, then Gawain saved the count, and so on, like a pirate ship, constantly swinging back and forth between left and right.

Next, it was Dimitrov’s turn again——

"9:8".

Gawain serves.

Second District.

Snapped. Snapped.

Gawain was ready to serve, but sweat slipped down the tip of his nose. He raised his hand to wipe it. His attention was slightly distracted and he took a deep breath to adjust.

Then, prepare to serve again.

An insignificant little episode, but one can deeply feel the tense atmosphere of the game at this moment. The silent No. 1 court seemed to have escaped into a gap in time, everything came to a standstill, and the solemnity rolled down layer upon layer. The beating of the heart also slowed down.

Kick off the ground, bend your knees, throw the ball.

Swing the racket!

One shot, in!

Finally, at the most critical and urgent moment, Gawain found a shot and flew towards the outer corner at a speed of 123 miles per hour.

The classic routine of suppressing the backhand from the outside corner of the second zone was performed again. Although the angle was not completely torn apart, the speed and power were guaranteed.

boom!

However, Dimitrov took a sideways step. Although he did not move in advance, his conditioned reflex was very sharp. It could be seen that he was ready. It was not surprising that Gawain chose the outside corner, so his entire body remained light and agile, and his reaction was In time, the footsteps had already rushed out.

One-handed backhand, sword unsheathed——

This shot was not fast but caused pressure. As a result, Dimitrov's footwork was still slightly lacking, and his swing space was affected.

At the moment when the backhand is released, because the swing movement is not completed, it is obviously slightly wrapped, and the package and racket head are used as much as possible to wrap the landing point into the boundary.

Despite this, the quality of the return is still very good, and the cool backhand successfully withstands the impact and sends the tennis ball along the diagonal line to the deep baseline area.

Not fast, deep enough, heavy enough.

"Gawain VS Dimitrov", you can feel the strong collision of not giving in from the serve and return link. Dimitrov, who is at a disadvantage, showed his calmness and toughness and withstood the serve. , the performance is commendable.

But Dimitrov was not satisfied with this.

With a single step to the emergency brake, Dimitrov started for the second time, running towards the right forehand gap, his eyes locked on Gawain's movements——

Because he knows Gawain's layout ability and adaptability.

really!

Gao Wen's steps were very timely. It was obvious at a glance that Dimitrov chose the diagonal line. It was not surprising, but the depth of the return serve was slightly unexpected.

Gao Wen started the shot early with a two-handed backhand. His body's center of gravity dropped as he bent his knees, and he was already ready for a frontal impact with one shot in advance.

In an instant, Dimitrov's alarm bell rang. In this position, Gawain could hit a straight line or a diagonal line. Maybe choosing a straight line requires taking some risks, but Gawain has such ability, which also caused Dimitri Troloff's defense fell into a passive position and he needed to stay focused.

The steps are light and jumping, staying in the midfield position, waiting for opportunities to move.

Then.

straight line!

Dimitrov caught Gawain's swing and shot, paused in his steps, and rushed towards the right.

A little slower than half a beat, Dimitrov realized something was wrong.

A straight line, indeed a straight line, but Gawain did not choose to hit flat. Instead, he slightly flipped the racket surface at the moment of taking the shot, pulling up the parabola directly.

As you can imagine, the entire flight speed slowed down, giving Dimitrov time to return to defense. Wouldn't this ruin his advantage?

Of course, the advantage of hitting the ball like this is to increase the insurance. The straight-line hit, which originally had a certain risk, is now controlled by rotation, and the risk is greatly reduced, ensuring the success rate.

However, Dimitrov did not think that Gawain would choose to be conservative at critical moments, which was completely inconsistent with Gawain's style.

Trap, there must be a trap hidden here.

Everything happened in a blink of an eye. Before Dimitrov could continue to think, the situation on the field had changed dramatically.

Gawain, online.

Step on step, step on, step forward with the whole body in a very determined manner. In just a few long steps, he was already within the service area in the blink of an eye.

--layout! It’s all about layout!

The next second, the mystery will be unveiled.

When Dimitrov's steps were about to fall into place, he immediately realized:

Gawain's deep shot carried a strong topspin, which was released after it bounced off the ground. It quickly rose towards the shoulder position; when Dimitrov was waiting for Dimitrov to prepare to hit the ball, the tennis ball position was already there. Raise it above your shoulders and completely stop your body's swing and power.

This is a trap.

Generally speaking, in such a situation, the player's ability to control the ball will be limited, so the difficulty of hitting a straight line will increase exponentially. Naturally, choosing a diagonal line is a high probability event.

At the same time, Gao Wen went to the net, and the crowds and horses covered the front of the net, forming a physical blockade, further exerting pressure and interfering with the players' shot selection.

Once he hesitates a little bit, the point will easily fall into Gawain's pocket.

From serving to connecting to the net, Gao Wen laid out all the plans, traps after traps, problems after problems, and finally besieged Dimitrov.

Damn it!

So, how should Dimitrov respond?

Time, time, time.

On the ever-changing tennis court, there is no time for fear or hesitation. Even a moment of hesitation may lead to a loss of the whole game.

The same goes for Dimitrov, who has already judged the situation and made a choice in the blink of an eye——

A diagonal step back during lateral movement is just a small half-step back with the right leg along the diagonal line, leaving space on the right side of the upper body.

Then, he swings the racket with his forehand and hits the ball high. He does not rely on turning to exert force, but only relies on the strength of his upper body to sweep from top to bottom. The moment he touches the ball, he flicks his wrist outward. It seems light and simple, but in fact it is thunderous.

Then the tennis ball flew out.

straight line! Break the net!
