For the French audience, the situation they most wanted to see finally appeared——
More exciting duels, more exciting collisions, and better-looking rounds.
So, the applause and cheers surged for a while before calming down. Everyone was encouraging Tiafoe, not because they hated Gawain, but because they expected Tiafoe to make the game more exciting, at least the third set was worth it.
A more exciting ending.
Xinner deeply felt that he was like a small boat in the storm. The sound he made with all his strength was easily swallowed by the huge waves.
However, Sinner was not depressed. Not only was he not depressed, but he was also filled with enthusiasm. He looked at Gawain on the court, calm and calm, with firm belief. He exuded a powerful aura from the inside out, which made the whole place agitated and frenzied.
Pressing down, his piercing eyes revealed a sense of mission:
Let the storm come more violently.
Suddenly, Xinner's heart exploded.
Snapped.
Just like the previous point, Tiafoe took the initiative through his excellent serve at the critical moment; twice in a row, Tiafoe chose to suppress Gawain's forehand. It can be seen from here that he still worried about Gawain's backhand.
At critical moments, you still need to subconsciously suppress your forehand to create an advantage.
So, what about Gawain?
The sound of Tiafoe hitting the ball was not clear and crisp, and even a little dull. The red soil swallowed up the sound, but the Susan Lenglen Stadium at Nottingham University was silent. The sound of hitting the ball could still be clearly heard, one after another, and then
It felt like it was hitting my heart, and I subconsciously held my breath.
One shot, inner corner.
Because Tiafoe also realized the importance of this point, he showed his big heart at this moment and served hard at the break point.
Tiafoe is playing hard——
Immediately afterwards, the power of the calf exploded instantly, a powerful reaction force surged up, and then the body rushed out in the opposite direction.
The tennis ball flew towards Tiafoe's left side, but unfortunately, the control of the line and landing point was not good, it was basically a half-court ball; and the parabola was not completely suppressed, Tiafoe completely used his strength advantage.
When it came out, the quality of the ball was very heavy, suppressing Gawain's return——
The tennis ball reappeared, hit the inside of the sideline, and jumped out like a glide, blurring into a line of light and shadow.
The inner corner directly mobilized Gawain completely, and with one step, his body jumped out——
Sideways forehand.
Tiafoe, fight for it.
Just a little bit closer, it seems, just a little bit closer, Gawain and Tennis are racing, the two lights and shadows are chasing each other, indistinguishable and inseparable.
At this point you can see the effect of suppressing the forehand:
If it is a backhand, when the time and space of the swing are compressed, Gao Wen can push back more power by using the force to create a different hitting effect; but there is no way to complete an effective swing with the forehand.
Under the circumstances, it is difficult to do this.
Gawain's conditioned reflexes were very alert, and he had already jumped out of the lightning flash, and the figure who was sprinting with all his strength turned into a stream of light.
boom!
Gawain's backhand with both hands has been stretched to the limit. His left hand pushed the right hand and hit it completely. Then he twisted and lifted the wrist of his right hand. The speed of the racket head increased to a whole new level. He just hit it straight. He didn't have time to feel the tennis ball and racket carefully.
The strong turbulence of line collision and friction——
However, the time of contact with the ball was too short, and there was no time to increase friction. Therefore, Gao Wen simply chose to push and flick his wrist, using the force to move in the direction of his body, using the inertia to rush forward and complete the ball.
.
Snapped.
Backslash.
It can be seen from the two consecutive left side cross steps that Tiafoe is preparing to give a thunderous blow and directly score the winning point.
Tiafoe noticed Gawain's movement, but was not disturbed or relented. He turned sideways and made a forehand, using all his strength and releasing all his power:
Heavy hammer!
Gawain did not move in advance, but Tiafoe's choice was not surprising.
This is the classic wall-to-wall attack strategy, also known as "One-Two-Punch", where the attack is completed by serving and punching on the next shot.
Extremely passive.
passive.
Tiafoe, I'm online.
But saw——
Could it be that I can't catch up?
My heart was stuck in my throat, and the whole place was completely silent. Even the sound of my heartbeat and breathing had disappeared.
However, the perfect combination of ball speed and landing point still made Gao Wen fall into a deep passivity. His upper body stretched to the extreme, and it was too late to move his feet. In the end, he could only rely on the extension of his upper body to complete the swing and touch the ball——
Adjust your steps and force yourself to turn sideways.
With just a glance, Gawain had already made a prediction. If Tiafoe chose to turn sideways forehand, he must be aiming for his own backhand diagonal.
Then, the tennis ball jumped back directly.
Sinner's heart contracted to the extreme in an instant, and his whole body muscles stiffened. Even sitting in the stands, he could deeply feel the power of Tiafoe's hitting. It was solid enough, condensed enough, and strong enough, just like the tennis ball was about to
As if being blown apart, layers of power overflowed.
Just before the tennis ball was about to hit the ground, Gawain's upper body had been fully extended, his steps had left the singles line, and his upper body was already close to the doubles line. He only used the upper end of the racket to complete a quick pull-up collision, like sparks hitting the earth, two
Light and shadow collided together like this.
Sprint.
The tennis ball has already flown out.
The superposition of speed and speed, the collision of power and force, once again brought the tennis ball into the speed of light, disappeared into the gorgeous sunshine, and just disappeared.
The racket barely touched the tennis ball.
The whole audience held their breath.
Time, stretched out at this moment, seemed to slow down a hundred times a thousand times, and then——
At the first moment, Tiafoe realized that his serve was effective, cut into the baseline, and then quickly followed up to the first half.
Tiafoe did not choose to hit the backhand ball in a regular manner, but adjusted his steps continuously——
Sinner stared at the court with his eyes wide open, searching for the tennis ball, completely forgetting to breathe, and he was not the only one.
The body flew up.
But the sideline referee and the centerline referee both made gestures of joining their hands:
within the bounds.
Whoosh.
The entire audience, including Tiafoe, all looked in the direction of Gawain's bat——
In the inner corner, the speed is 203 kilometers per hour, and the landing point is tricky, almost at the T point. It is difficult to judge whether it is out of bounds just by looking at it with the naked eye.
The tennis ball seemed to disappear from the field of vision, disappearing into the sunshine all over the sky, disappearing into the dusty air, and all the noise disappeared.
Clean, strong, and in control.
run.
near.
On the opposite side of the court, Gawain's entire body weight had been thrown away. He could already see Tiafoe's footsteps from the corner of his eyes, and the alarm bell rang in his mind:
With one kick of his right leg, a piece of red soil was raised.
straight line.
Around the pillar.
Full Moon Scimitar.
Gawain desperately chose the path of Huashan and tore a way out on the court.
