Chapter 1806 A Wild Horse Running Wild
The first game is still going on.
——The sixth inning.
"...Uh-huh!"
Zverev's forehand was fully exerted, and his heavy and fast hitting shot across the court like an arrow, rushing towards Gawain's forehand.
On the opposite side of the court, Gawain's steps were already in place smoothly, but unexpectedly he did not choose to hit, but instead cut a straight line with one shot to break the balance.
The tennis ball is fluttering and swaying, just like the autumn wind wrapped with dead leaves falling in the shivering cold rain. It has no power at all; and it is not a small ball. It can be seen from the line and landing point that the ball is hit. The ball should land near the baseline triangle, which is a deep shot.
This kind of cutting shows no threat at all.
Zverev's movements remained light and nimble, and he arrived immediately, bending his knees, lowering his center of gravity, and backhanding with both hands.
boom!
Use your strength, still use your strength, use your full strength.
A proactive diagonal attack, aimed at Gao Wen's backhand bottom line triangle hit, and after a back-and-forth sixteen-shot round, he was ready to kill and win the point in a winning way.
However--
"Out of bounds"!
It went out of bounds again. Although this time it was very weak, just the width of a finger, the bottom line referee's eyes revealed a touch of determination.
There was a hint of irritation and confusion in Zverev's eyes. He subconsciously looked up at the players' box, as if he was hesitating whether to challenge with Hawkeye.
"Shh! Shhhhhh!"
The Arthur Ashe Stadium was filled with boos, complaining about Zverev's distrust of the referee in this way, and also complaining about Zverev's lack of understanding of his own hitting.
In most cases, players have a clear understanding of their own hitting feel. They don't even need to wait until the tennis ball hits the ground. They can already feel the control effect the moment they release the ball. Of course, a slight deviation from the ball is a special situation.
But Zverev Jr. challenged Hawkeye three times in two games, and each time he went out of bounds.
Are you sure this isn't a deliberate attempt to vent your anger and cause trouble?
This is definitely not a good thing for the audience, and one or two people started to boo and complain.
Zverev didn't understand why the fans booed because it was his right to challenge Hawkeye, but he was still firm in his choice.
Eagle Eye Challenge——
He was like a lone hero against the whole world, but this time, neither Arthur Ashe Stadium nor fate seemed to be on his side.
The end result was indeed out of bounds.
Although the gap was small, out of bounds was out of bounds. Zverev failed all three hawk-eye challenges within two games, which also meant that he had no chance to challenge in the first set.
Little Zverev was extremely depressed.
The whole audience erupted in boos, and the sound of roaring and tsunami mixed with whistles and complaints boiled up in a mighty manner.
"2:4".
Gao Wen continued to hold serve and only lost one point in this round.
——The seventh inning.
Snapped.
With a muffled sound, Zverev's return ball hit the net, creating a white wave and sending the point down the net.
"30:15".
Zverev was a little depressed. He obviously scored well in the first two points, but why was the continuous momentum of scoring interrupted again? This time it was off the net?
The rhythm and hitting feel of the entire game are like a wild horse, always lacking a little bit, but little Zverev can't figure out what's going on. He is obviously still focused, excited, and committed. Nothing special has changed. However, the situation of the game But it was subverted bit by bit.
Irritated!
In his chest, he could feel the mixed and turbulent emotions boiling. It seemed that he was on the verge of breaking out and could cause a lot of chaos at any time; but little Zverev finally controlled himself. He did not forget that this game, He carries the task himself.
Not just a need for revenge, but a need to prove oneself.
Take a deep breath.
Remind yourself again to focus.
Unexpectedly but reasonably, the next point became the best and most exciting point since the start of the game. The transition between offense and defense was amazing.
In the second area, sneak attack on the inside corner, Zverev used his high-quality serve to successfully seize the opportunity and create offensive opportunities for himself.
However, Zverev's offense was never crisp enough, giving Gao Wen a chance to breathe. After withstanding the first two attacks, he hit a backhand diagonal "inside-out" shot across the court, instantly turning the situation around. , turning defense into offense, pushing Zverev to the brink of crisis.
At the critical moment, little Zverev finally showed his talent, especially his backhand position, which can carry, push, hit and pump. No wonder many professionals compare his backhand with Djokovic. The stability and aggressiveness in baseline confrontations are indeed outstanding.
You come and go, tit for tat.
Little Zverev stood on the edge of the cliff and shot a backhand. After withstanding Gawain's three uninterrupted attacks, with his body almost out of position, he withstood a shot that shocked everyone in a straight line. It was extremely difficult and extremely passive. The situation reversed the disadvantage and brought both sides back to the same starting line.
Five beats.
Ten beats.
Twenty beats.
Thirty beats.
Very, very rarely, on Arthur Ashe, a fast hard court, two players forced a round on the clay court.
Moreover, both players had the advantage and continued to attack strongly, but failed in vain due to the tenacious and tenacious defense of their opponents.
Arthur Ashe Stadium, screamed again and again.
Then--
Gao Wen unexpectedly made two cuts on his backhand position, using strong backspin to change the rhythm of the confrontation.
Zverev's response was very good. He bent his knees, squatted with his center of gravity, and carried out two consecutive backhand pulls. Not only did he perfectly handle the backspin ball, but he also controlled the landing point of the return ball and continued to press it deep. Even without counterattack, The impact was always maintained and Gao Wen was not given a chance to attack.
Although Zverev's response deserves applause, it still lacks some bright spots and new ideas, and ultimately fell into Gawain's trap.
In the next shot, Gawain's footsteps were still in the backhand position. He took a slight step forward, just half a step, but raised the hitting point to a higher level. He grabbed the rising point of the shot and relied on the rapid swing of his backhand with both hands to hit the ball. The speed of the racket head is fully accelerated, fast and heavy, and the attack is fully launched.
straight line.
The first one to change the line and launch the attack was still Gawain.
Indeed, Zverev used placement and rotation to limit Gawain's offensive space, but he forgot one thing. This game was arranged by Gawain. Even if the placement was deep enough, there was a lack of changes, which meant that It's still within Gawain's calculations, and some pace adjustments can solve the problem.
Look, Gawain not only did not retreat, but also stepped forward to break the balance by grabbing the ascending point.
Backhand straight line.
Like a Yang finger, it penetrates the entire stadium.
Immediately afterwards, little Zverev was pushed to the edge of the cliff again, but he still did not give up——
At this time, little Zverev showed his tenacity in an extremely passive state. After being in a stalemate for thirty-six beats, he was still moving very fast.
The tall man made a series of long stride sprints, which were like teleportation. From the left end of the court to the right end, the fighting spirit deep in the Dantian was burning.
"ah!"
Forehand, following the direction of sprint inertia, swinging and swinging, turning his wrist, little Zverev also showed no sign of weakness in his talent and ability.
Straight line, long sword unsheathed——
Wonderful, it continues.
