Chapter 1656 One Step Ahead

call.

Murray took a calming breath, adjusted his rhythm, and was completely undisturbed by a missed serve. He was ready to continue serving.

Bend your knees, push off the ground, throw the ball.

Swing the racket!

Second shot, out of the barrel.

This is a slow serve. Murray is trying to find a place to press his forehand close to him, and suppress Gao Wen through rotation, because he knows that Gao Wen still has not fully understood the bouncing rules of the grass, and often misses when shooting with his forehand. With more packages, there will be more space for his subsequent attacks to connect.

The tactical intention is very clear.

However!

This was the countless times that Murray had done this in a critical score. Gao Wen finally accurately predicted and grasped the tactical context of this time, and his reaction speed was slightly ahead of schedule.

Just a trace.

In fact, Murray is right. Gauvin is still exploring the rules of grass bounce. If the forehand attack is too fast, the hitting point will easily deviate, so he is often accustomed to adding packages to avoid unnecessary simple mistakes. But at the same time, Gawain has been looking for different changes.

For example, take the first shot.

The slightest advance movement gained enough space for Gao Wen to retreat, and he gained space to swing the racket through the movement of his feet.

As a result, the forehand swing becomes smoother and more complete, and even with added packages to ensure safety, there are more possibilities for forehand shots.

Then.

Forehand, the shot is already released.

The cross step is still retreating. In order to get the accurate hitting point, the whole person rises into the air. The height is limited, but the body is still free from the constraints of gravity. The feet leave the ground, the body leans back, one turn and one push. , the forehand has been pushed out violently with the force of crossing the legs in the air.

"ah!"

work hard.

Attack.

At the same time, lean back, turn sideways, turn your forearms outward, and whip your wrists.

"ah!"

Power, explosion.

Sideways forehand slash!

Gao Wen, when faced with the second serve, chose to take a risk and made a bold and crazy choice to try to break the deadlock in this game.

Failed?

Then go back to the deuce and start from the beginning.

"Ah uh!"

The tennis ball was compressed to the extreme by the solid and surging force, turned into a line of light and shadow, and quickly jumped out along the diagonal line——

Fast and urgent, rushing and heavy.

The tennis ball was sent back the way it came by hitting the wall.

call out.

The tennis ball fell into Murray's left service area, bounced, flew, ripped the angle, and rushed out with a hunting wind.

Ahead——

Murray had already risen into the air, extending his body to the extreme in a diving gesture, and switched his two-handed backhand to a one-handed backhand in an attempt to extend the coverage.

White, green, and purple collide in the crystal clear gold, clear and clean, and carefully outline the tranquility of the breezy early summer.

Before he could even blink, the tennis ball broke free, broke through the coverage, and jumped out from directly in front of the end of Murray's racket.

Wind, there is only wind in the world ahead, open your arms and embrace freedom.

Return of serve ACE.

Huchi, wheeze.

Gawain was breathing heavily, and the burning blood was boiling in his mind.

Huchi, wheeze.

Murray was also breathing heavily. After stumbling to maintain his pace, he did not roar or growl, but looked up at the sky with a disappointed face. He raised his hand to push down the brim of his hat to cover up his disappointment and regret. However, his whole body The depression radiating from top to bottom could not be concealed at all.

Huchi, wheeze.

The entire audience was breathing heavily. The tension, excitement, and anxiety were burning in everyone's blood vessels. They couldn't breathe at all and even forgot to breathe. It was only now that they felt the heart-exploding energy that they finally started to breathe again. The surging emotions set off mountains and tsunamis.

——Gawain, broke.

"Incredible!"

"This, this is incredible."

After all, Xu Yang was not able to maintain his usual calmness and calmness. There was a roar in his mind, a crackling sound of sighs and excitement.

"In the deciding set, Gawain broke serve first!"

"The game lasted nearly ten minutes. In the end, Gao Wen seized the fourth break point and broke serve with an ACE, taking the lead."

"Dear viewers, this is the first time in the whole game that Gao Wen has taken the lead."

"Hah!"

Realizing this, all the sounds behind Xu Yang disappeared deep in his throat. His eyes were full of admiration and astonishment, and he couldn't calm down at all.

Murray's disappointment and depression came from the break of serve. After all, he was still unable to withstand Gawain's impact and lost the serve at the beginning of the deciding set. It also came from the way of the break, first losing the third game point with a mistake, and then The opponent just caught the ball accurately——

Too bad.

In fact, objectively speaking, this is a game. Players will make mistakes and make mistakes. In the competition between you and me, this is a normal situation. It is not just Gawain and Murray, but all players are like this; but Murray He is so demanding on himself that it is difficult for him to accept such a mistake.

The rush of thoughts filled his whole head in an instant and was about to explode.

However, Murray finally found his composure.

As one of the Big Four, Murray has experienced countless difficulties in his career, including the terrible situation of breaking serve first in the final set.

Thinking about it with pleasure, this is at least much easier than falling behind by a big score of "0:2" and then looking forward to a big comeback in three consecutive sets.

What he needs to do now is to adjust his mentality and tactics, and look for opportunities while recovering his physical fitness. He is tired, and so is Gao Wen. They are both the same; and, just like a marathon, the leader is responsible for adjusting the rhythm, but he is also tired. A burden that consumes more physical energy.

The game is not over yet.

But is it really that easy?

Don’t forget, there was only one break of serve in the first three sets, and the player who broke serve won; there was no break of serve in the fourth set, and the winner was decided through a tie-break; now comes the final set, despite the mental and physical differences The impact is magnified, but breaking serve is still not that easy.

——After "30:30", Gao Wen scored two points in a row. After breaking Murray's serve, he successfully kept the serve and realized the advantage of breaking serve first.

"3:0".

Judging from the score, there seemed to be no suspense in the final set, and the gap was widened immediately; and it continued all the way.

Returning after the break, Murray successfully maintained his serve. Despite a deuce test, he did not face a break point this time.

It can be clearly seen that Gao Wen also has to adjust his tactics and distribute his physical strength. It is impossible to give his best in every game, so the intensity of the tug-of-war is slightly reduced. The experienced Murray keenly seizes the opportunity and after experiencing a small thrill , it is still very stable and very solid to complete the hair guarantee.

His eyes returned to Gawain's side.

Save physical energy in Murray's serve game, simply try and see, if there is a chance, go further, if not, don't force it. This also allows Gauvin to put more focus and energy on his own serve game, playing stably and efficiently. Excellent, as long as he can keep serving steadily, then as the game progresses, Murray's pressure will become greater and greater.

Perhaps Gao Wen can find opportunities in Murray's serve and further expand his advantage?
