Chapter 1805 Effortlessly
It is a fact that Zverev is not afraid of backspin, but the point is that tennis is not black and white, and the same backspin also hides many details.
Just like this ball return in front of me——
On the previous ball, Gawain chose to hit lightly, combined with topspin, along a straight line, but the landing point was slightly shallow. Therefore, Zverev moved his steps forward slightly, almost extending his body to reach the ball.
For this ball, Gao Wen chose to use force and combine it with backspin, which also followed a straight line, but the landing point was already close to the baseline. The entire squeeze and impact were completely different. At the same time, the backspin ball also penetrated into the ground, so that Zwei Lev's position was squeezed. He was so tall that he couldn't squat down at all.
In other words, Gawain took advantage of little Zverev's own physical condition and created a trap.
This is the power of layout, but also the fineness of control. There is no need to open and close, but it inadvertently pushes Zverev into the abyss.
ah!
The power deep in Zverev's Dantian burst out, and he took the shot early with his forehand, but he soon realized that his footsteps were fully squeezed, and even if he took the shot early, it was still too late.
This is the real hidden needle, which has pushed little Zverev to a desperate situation without making a sound.
His steps were messy, and he hurriedly shot the ball with his forehand, working from the bottom up to pull up the backspin ball. However, his body's center of gravity was directly overturned, and he staggered back.
Oops!
Oops Oops Oops!
Zverev made a series of adjustments in his footsteps, and at this time it was too late to think——
It was obviously a head-on collision, but why did he fall into passivity? Not to mention exerting force. In the end, he could only rely on his hand to hit the tennis ball back. He was already facing a crisis before he even had time to notice.
Because he needs to focus on Gawain's next shot.
Continuously adjusting in small steps, while tilting the body's center of gravity to the left, the entire backhand court has been cleared. Gawain only needs one shot to push Zverev further into the abyss.
Left side?
really!
Zverev was overjoyed: He guessed it right.
You can see in your line of sight that after Gawain made continuous adjustments, he hit a backslash with his forehand sideways, pushing the tennis ball over lightly and nimbly.
Zverev Jr. is moving in the right direction.
But as soon as he took his first step, Zverev realized that Gawain’s hitting was not very accurate——
It seems that in order to pursue rhythm compression, Gao Wen speeds up his sideways forehand shots, so neither the line nor the landing point is pursued to the extreme.
Gao Wen responded with a backhand slash from the middle, but the angle was not completely broken.
Zverev was originally preparing to sprint with all his strength, but instead needed to brake urgently and stop in the middle near the left half.
Chance!
Zverev's eyes lit up, and the opportunity to reverse the decline was right in front of him. He quickly led the backhand with both hands, and his body was clearly pressed forward, ready to exert force.
Aha!
Seeing the landing point of the ball, Zverev became more active and urgent, because Gawain's return ball landing point was not too deep and had no squeezing effect at all.
Zverev's two-handed backhand was more conscious, and he obviously accelerated and strengthened, preparing to push into a deep area in the middle and squeeze Gawain.
boom!
There was a crisp sound when the racket string collided with the tennis ball, which was solid and accurate. During the high-speed movement, he braked urgently to control his footsteps and complete the attack. From these details, we can see Zverev's physical talent. He has turned the situation around and is on the right track. When preparing to continue the stalemate——
"Out of bounds!"
The bottom line referee called out again.
Little Zverev kept his racket swing in mid-air and was immediately stunned.
How can it be?
This is the second time in this game that his batting was called out of the baseline, but how could it be possible?
After giving away three consecutive break points the first time, is it necessary to give away the serve the second time?
No! Can! able!
Zverev raised his right hand directly and chose Hawkeye to challenge.
After announcing the challenge, Zverev turned around to find his player box, but it was not an easy task because there were so many Arthur Ashe Stadium.
For a moment, he was a little confused. He spread his hands and his eyes were full of confusion.
He doesn't understand.
"Zverev chose Hawkeye to challenge, left court, baseline, and the initial penalty was - out of bounds."
The referee's voice came, but was drowned out in an instant.
The entire Arthur Ashe Stadium seemed noisy and unwatchable. In fact, this game was still not good to watch. Zverev made too many mistakes on his side, and the confrontation and tug-of-war did not end in a stalemate; but waves finally appeared, and the game The balance seems to have finally been broken.
As a result, one or two people couldn't control themselves, and they started to make noises, and they started discussing in a bustle, was this ball in or out of bounds?
On the big screen, the picture appeared quickly.
Out of bounds.
Moreover, the deviation was not just a little bit, but a whole ball went out, which was very obviously out of bounds. There was no significance for the Hawkeye challenge at all.
Shh!
The audience booed and started to complain about Zverev without hesitation. The results of the two Hawkeye challenges in this game were very obvious and outrageous. The referee's decision was accurate and there was no controversy or confusion. , Zverev’s eagle eye challenge seems trivial.
So, he doesn't trust the referee?
Shh!
The audience who finally caught some waves could no longer hold back their emotions. One or two people booed one after another, but it could be seen from the smiles on their faces that they were just joining in the fun and not really booing Xiaozi. Verev.
But, for little Zverev, there is no difference.
"2:3".
Gawain, ahead.
Although Zverev saved two break points, he still could not escape the third one and sent the serve out with a mistake.
But, what is going on?
Not only Zverev, but also the audience at Arthur Ashe Stadium were full of questions:
The first four rounds were uneventful, so why did the style suddenly change?
"...Little Zverev is still too excited."
"In competitive sports, not being excited enough is a bad thing, and being too excited is also a bad thing."
"The two errors at '0:30' and '30:40' in this round are actually the same reason."
"Little Zverev was too excited. He wanted to exert force, apply pressure, and control the situation too much. Instead, he failed to suppress the parabola of the return ball. He used too much force twice when he went out of bounds. Basically, Made the same mistake twice and ruined the serve."
"It can be seen from Gao Wen's control of the return point. He is also aware of this."
"So, Gawain combined the depth of the shot, alternated the light and heavy, and even deliberately sold some flaws. Zverev eagerly wanted to catch it and reverse the situation with a beautiful attack, but the entire shot control was obviously too much. , coupled with Gao Wen’s conscious guidance, the ball returned continuously went out of bounds.”
"In technical statistics, these two points were unforced errors by Zverev, but personally, they were errors guided by Gawain after creating a trap."
"Zverev needs to calm down now, otherwise the game will soon enter a rhythm that Gawain is familiar with."
