The Louis Armstrong Stadium went completely crazy. The cheers and shouts came down like a roaring tsunami. Everyone jumped, cheered, roared, and used all their strength to celebrate the score.
Heat wave, rolling!
But they saw Gawain standing there, clenching his right fist tightly, not making any sound, just raising his fist high and pointing to the sky, staring at Wawrinka on the other side of the court with scorching eyes——
"Strength vs Power"!
"Tough VS Tough"!
With unparalleled determination and determination, Gao Wen stunned the whole court with two points on and off the court after four equal points, completing the most important break of serve in the final set.
However, Gawain did not celebrate, because he knew that the game was not over yet, and he still had his own serve to keep, so he looked at Wawrinka with firm eyes and showed his belief and determination with practical actions——
He will fight to the end for this victory!
Gurgling.
Gurgling.
The entire audience was excited, even Agassi was no exception——
It's not that Wawrinka didn't play well, it's that Gawain performed too well.
A small ball in front of the net, a backhand confrontation, Gawain's handling of the critical moment was really amazing and brilliant, breaking the balance with an incredible performance.
If you think about it carefully, it is even more unbelievable that Wawrinka once led "40:0" in this game, but was broken after missing six set points.
Agassi stood up selflessly, deeply infected by Gawain's high fighting spirit and unyielding passion. The charm of competitive sports was fully demonstrated at this moment.
After the "1:6" defeat in the first set, who could have imagined that Gao Wen not only dragged the game into the deciding set, but also took the lead in the deciding set with his own serve to win the game.
Wonderful!
Truly brilliant!
This unparalleled competitive temperament is indeed touching.
Agassi turned to look at Sampras beside him. His old friend had also stood up and applauded Gawain with a smile on his face.
But Sampras didn't say much, he just raised his chin to indicate the direction of the court.
Agassi looked back again, and then he could see Gawain, who did not celebrate wildly but returned to the dugout calmly——
After the inter-game break, Gao Wen was about to usher in his own serve to win the game, but Gao Wen did not forget about it. He just remained calm and collected, and with a high degree of concentration, he began to think about how he should play his next service game.
It's rare, this kind of calmness is really rare.
Louis Armstrong Stadium has gone crazy, and the five-star red flag flying wantonly is burning like a flame under the flamboyant sunset.
Just ninety seconds later, the two players appeared again.
"5:4", Gawain's serve.
This is also the difference between serving first and serving later. For Wawrinka, who serves first, even if he loses the crucial serve just now, he still has one chance to make up for his mistake; but for Gao Wen, who serves later,
If he hadn't broken serve just now, he would now have to face an unavoidable serve.
The pressure is completely different.
Standing on the threshold of making history, Gawain was particularly calm.
In the first point, there was an ACE from the outside corner. The speed was not very fast, but the spin was very strong. After landing, it ran outwards. Wawrinka's prediction was incorrect and he did not touch the ball.
"15:0".
The entire Louis Armstrong Stadium was cheering, and it seemed that the excitement lasted for a long time after every point.
In the second point, the ball was scored directly from the inside corner. Gao Wen chose to hit the ball flat. Although Wawrinka guessed the direction, the forehand shot was delayed a bit and it flew away.
"30:0".
Boom! Boom boom! The closer to the end of the game, the more the audience started to cheer, and most of the fans began to cheer for Wawrinka, looking forward to the continuation of this exciting game.
Sure enough, Wawrinka refused to surrender.
The next point immediately created a confrontation, and once again used the iconic backhand attack to form the winning point.
"30:15".
Gao Wen could feel some pressure. The first serve of the next point went directly to the net and he needed to make a second serve.
As a result, Wawrinka caught Wawrinka's second serve this time and hit a direct winner with his backhand, leaving no chance for Gawain.
"30:30".
The air is burning. If in the last game, Wawrinka was able to be broken by Gawain with six game points, then Wawrinka can also create miracles in this game. The unyielding will of the Grand Slam champion is fully demonstrated at the critical moment.
Gawain was a little nervous.
So in the next point, Gao Wen consciously slowed down his rhythm, wiped his sweat, picked the ball, and then went to the baseline to prepare to serve.
As a result, the first shot still failed to go in, and the second shot came again, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.
Second serve, close to the forehand serve.
Wawrinka stepped aside to get out of the way, flicked a forehand, and hit the tennis ball back in a decent manner——
Receiving serve is also Wawrinka's shortcoming. His receiving service often lacks methods and changes, and many of them are mainly transitional.
Therefore, Gao Wen chose to serve from close range at the critical moment.
Noticing that Wawrinka's return ball landed in the middle, Gao Wen went directly to the baseline, hit a small diagonal skateboard with his forehand, flew towards the repeated landing point, and once again suppressed Wawrinka's forehand.
Wawrinka was a little surprised. He was a little confused when he was about to return to the backhand position, and then took a step laterally. Just when he was about to hit the ball, he noticed that Gawain's figure had appeared in front of the net. There was no hesitation in the entire step forward.
, very determined.
The familiar scene immediately sounded the alarm.
But Wawrinka's shooting space was already very limited, so he cut and pulled a wide arc, trying to bypass Gawain's head and land in the deep backcourt.
Whoosh!
Tennis balls fly!
Gawain looked up and saw that it was indeed over the top. He quickly followed the tennis ball and ran towards the bottom line. As he ran, he found that Wawrinka could not control the parabola and the tennis ball flew directly out of the bottom line. Only then did he stop walking.
Slow down, clenched his fists heavily, and encouraged himself.
"40:30".
Match point appeared.
Whoosh.
Whoosh.
The roaring and tsunami in the audience could not stop at all, so that the rhythm of the game between Gao Wen and Wawrinka was slightly interrupted. The referee barely controlled the situation after continuously asking for silence.
Gawain took a moment to adjust his breathing.
In zone two, which serve should I choose?
Pah. Pah. Pah.
The whole place was quiet except for the sound of the wind, and then the sound of Gawain hitting the ball echoed rhythmically, like the sound of a heartbeat.
After the long five-game match, hot sweat slid down his neck, and even the bright red sunset glow falling on the surface of his skin seemed to be burning.
Throw the ball! Kick the ground! Bend the knees! Turn! Swing the racket!
Hit the ball!
On the match point, Gawain chose the inside corner——
The first shot went in, and after two consecutive second shots, I finally found the first shot.
It can be clearly noticed that Wawrinka's start was slightly slower, not because of an error in prediction, but because he simply gave up moving in advance, waited for Gawain's serving action to be completed before starting, and then threw his entire body in the direction of the forehand.
He walked out, like a fish leaping to the top, waving his forearms quickly, and in a very narrow space and limited time, he hit the top.
boom!
The tennis ball flew towards Gawain's forehand gap lightly and gracefully. It looked as graceful as a butterfly, but in fact it was as fast as lightning. Before he could even breathe, the tennis ball, which was playing hard, had already reached Gawain's half of the court.
, and entered the bottom line triangle in the first zone at a very fast speed.
