The second set is a new beginning for Gawain. Kyrgios can continue his performance, but he will complete the layout quietly.
"40:40".
After saving a break point, Gao Wen changed the rhythm of the game again.
In the first point, Gao Wen chose a close to forehand serve, and the ball speed was average. Sure enough, Kyrgios unreasonably hit the shot from the start. Gao Wen was already prepared in advance, and moved to himself with one step.
In the backhand position, grab the backhand with both hands and hit the upward point to hit a diagonal shot.
The powerful return pushed Kyrgios back with all his strength. As a result, Kyrgios couldn't react in time and watched as the tennis ball broke through his forehand and flew out.
Speed and calculation are the main magic weapons. In the first minute, the two people were chipping slowly and leisurely, but now suddenly the ball speed and rhythm increased. Moreover, Gawain also grabbed a rising point, and Kyrgios was obviously not expecting it.
In the second point, Gao Wen boldly attacked an inside corner, aimed at Kyrgios's forehand, and served with a very fast ball speed.
Kyrgios's attention was on his backhand, and he completely judged the wrong direction, so he failed to touch the tennis ball.
ACE.
Gao Wen saved his first serve in the second set with his first ACE of the match.
One moment before, he was facing a break point crisis, and the next second he was the first to exceed the score, "1:0".
The development and changes of the whole situation were really drastic, and the audience at the scene was a little confused and didn't understand what was going on.
On the court, Kyrgios tilted his head and thought for a while, but could not detect anything unusual. Anyway, he just missed a break point and was saved by his opponent.
But Kyrgios still didn't like it, especially when playing against Gawain. He wanted to see Gawain fail after struggling hard, just like flipping a turtle over, watching the turtle face up, struggling desperately but failed.
It doesn't help, that's what makes people feel happy.
Therefore, in the next game, Kyrgios thought he needed to express his position——
Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang.
Four ACEs, four points in a row, "love-game", Kyrgios had already secured serve in the blink of an eye, and then spread his arms out near the baseline to imitate a glider bomber. He seemed to have endless power to vent.
However, a tennis match is a confrontational game, not a stand-alone game. The performance of both sides is mutually restrained and affects each other, and it is not decided by one person.
Next, Gao Wen was not affected at all and easily maintained his hair.
Then, Kyrgios kept serve and Gawain kept serve.
Then, Kyrgios kept serving and Gawain kept serving.
In the blink of an eye, in just over twenty-five minutes, the game score had reached "4:3". The entire game progressed very quickly. Neither player saw any more break points. They kept each other's serve and advanced steadily, especially
Gao Wen's hold on serve has become more and more solid, and his control over his serve is slowly becoming more apparent.
But as the game entered the second half of the second set, the atmosphere changed slightly.
Kyrgios found the pace of the game a bit strange.
When he was using his own strength, Gawain would cut and change the rhythm without any warning; when he was cutting by himself, Gawain would suddenly use his strength to increase the speed.
Sometimes it is Kyrgios who makes the first change, sometimes it is Gawain who makes the first change, and sometimes both players continue to change and disrupt the rhythm. The back-and-forth rounds rarely develop solidly, but they always do.
See one player take the lead in making a difference.
Kyrgios felt that Gawain was deliberately trying to anger him, so in the game just now, Kyrgios continued to speed up, using strength and speed to make the game faster. However, he did not expect that Gawain directly used the ball in front of the net and
The overhead kick slowed down the pace of the game again.
confusion.
That's the only adjective.
Originally, in most tennis matches, one side tends to attack and the other side tends to defend, which may be active or passive, and then you can feel the rhythm of the game between offense and defense. But now you can't feel it at all, so the process of the service game is completely inconsistent.
It became strange that no one was able to break the deadlock.
In other words, both people are trying to break the deadlock of the other party, but instead the game falls into another kind of deadlock.
Kyrgios feels uncomfortable, but he doesn't know why, and he doesn't care why -
He doesn't like to think about the game.
Tennis is so simple, you can win just by playing casually, so why do you have to think about it?
Then, slowly, slowly, Kyrgios' attention became distracted.
At "4:3", the first two points of Kyrgios's serve ended in inexplicable mistakes. Kyrgios didn't know what was going on and missed the ball. In the blink of an eye, he was in "0:30"
dilemma, but at critical moments, the serve can always save the game and recover one point with the ACE ball.
"15:30".
Zone 2, inner corner.
Gawain's prediction was accurate and he moved quickly laterally to the right. However, Kyrgios' serve was heavy and fast. Gawain only had time to push the ball forward for one beat. There was no control at all, and he didn't know whether he could get into Kyrgios.
Gaussian half court.
Gawain staggered to adjust his steps, regaining his defensive position, and then discovered that Kyrgios had jumped into the court on stilts, as if there were springs under his feet.
Gawain's return serve was basically a dish, with no spin and no power.
Kyrgios moved forward quickly and could easily hit a half-court ball with his forehand. However, he found that the height of the rebound of the tennis ball was a little high, so he simply jumped up on the spot and completed the hit from his crotch.
ball--
This is obviously not the first time in this game, and it will definitely not be the last.
The tennis ball was pressed straight towards the deep area of the baseline. It must be said that Kyrgios's touch was indeed very good. In such a special hitting posture, the tennis ball still pressed firmly on the baseline and landed on the left side of the center.
Backhand.
Gawain took a look at Kyrgios' position and found that Kyrgios had already stood in front of the net to seal the net with ease, leaving him little room to break the net, so he slightly changed the angle of the racket with both hands at the moment of release.
, a light lift.
Overhead ball.
Now Kyrgios was no longer surprised. He took two quick steps forward on Hot Wheels and successfully caught the tennis ball near the baseline. However, there was no time and space to turn around, so he simply turned his back to the court, as if performing a juggling act.
, he hit the tennis ball lightly under his crotch, raising the arc as high as possible.
But the handling of this ball was obviously a bit sloppy. When Kyrgios turned around, you could see that Gawain had already entered the baseline and hit the net immediately.
At this time, Gao Wen was already standing in front of the net, adjusting his position with small steps, watching the incoming ball, preparing to complete the high pressure.
Kyrgios's return ball was high but not far away. It should have landed within one step of the net. Gawain had already taken full initiative.
Without warning, Kyrgios shouted loudly in the direction of Gawain's position, "Out of bounds!"
