The sound of cheers filled the whole place. No need for extra words, you can feel the bursting passion through rhythm and rhyme, just like rolling thunder.
At this time, the sky above Roland Garros was covered with dark clouds, covering the sky and the sun. The entire world was plunged into shadow, and no trace of sunlight could be seen.
A gust of wind passed by, turning the sky into darkness, flying sand and rocks, and the vision briefly fell into darkness for a moment. The end of the world seemed to stay at the fingertips for a moment.
According to the weather forecast, it will rain this afternoon. There is currently a 60% chance of rain, and it will be 80% in the next hour, and it will continue to rise.
Moreover, once it rains, it may continue until ten o'clock in the evening. From five o'clock to ten o'clock, the chance of rain is 100%, and it will flood the screen strongly. This also means that all today's games may be interrupted at any time.
, or even unable to finish the race, which is what no one wants to see.
Two days ago, people were thankful that the weather in Paris was good this year, and the weather was beautiful. There was no heavy rain in the first week of the French Open. It was just because thunderstorms interrupted two games, which did not last long, so there was no delay in the schedule.
The situation is undoubtedly fortunate.
As a result, it came today——
Sure enough, the French Open without weather interference would not taste right?
However, people really did not expect that the match between Gao Wen and Tsonga would actually enter the final set! It was difficult to separate, and the suspense of victory or defeat was still a question mark.
Very good, it should be Black Adam.
The combined influence of three factors, the judgment of the rotation and direction of the incoming ball, the judgment and selection of the timing of the hitting point, the grasp of the control of the hitting, etc., may all lead to deviations.
Weather, without a doubt, is a variable.
In a daze, it seemed as if the sky might collapse at any time. Standing under layers of dark clouds, I felt more and more insignificant and powerless to resist.
The roaring waves complement each other with the light behind the clouds, and the vision of the end of the world also bursts out with a sense of grandeur and vastness.
The influence on Gawain is even more obvious.
Although the weather conditions have a greater impact on Gao Wen, overall, it is fair to both parties. Now it depends on who can adapt faster.
The two players appeared again.
"40:0".
The final set of battle officially begins——
However, there is nothing anyone can do now, they can only leave their fate to nature.
The referee's voice came from the microphone. After receiving a positive reply from the tournament director, he announced that the break between sets was over and the game would continue.
"Songa Songa Songa! Come on Songa!"
The thunder was rolling, and the thick clouds continued to surge. I could vaguely catch a white light flashing in it, but it was fleeting. Then the sky became darker, and the layers of air waves continued to press down. It seemed that I could see that
A layer of black fog is eating away at the world in front of us bit by bit.
Tsonga's serve and attack are his strengths, so the chance of fluctuations and deviations in his serve is smaller. Once Gawain himself is broken, the situation will be very passive.
Although the cheers and cheers from the audience are really annoying, like thousands of flies constantly flying in his ears, Gawain's mentality always remains relaxed, and he even has time to joke——
There is no need to care about the scores of the first four sets, there is no need to care about mistakes and opportunities, other things are not important, he needs to focus on the present.
Obviously, if Gawain and Tsonga are in a stalemate all the way in the final set and enter a long-set decider, then there is a high probability that the result will not be seen today.
Amidst the majestic momentum of black clouds looming over the city, a kind of heroic feeling like "the wind is rustling and the water is cold" arises spontaneously and spreads throughout the whole place.
A Tang Monk's tight spell is much more powerful than a hundred thousand flies.
In addition, looking at it from another perspective, because Gao Wen served first in the final set, as long as he can continue to serve, the pressure on Tsonga will slowly accumulate, and Gao Wen can wait patiently and wait for opportunities.
What's more important, or worse, is that once rain interrupts the game, not only this game will not be completed, but also the subsequent two games will not be played.
First, the strong wind; second, the temperature; third, the light.
Of course, tennis is a game in which two players balance each other. Gauvin cannot predict Tsonga's strategy. He also needs to adapt to circumstances and change his tactics according to the progress and situation of the game at all times; but at least at the beginning, Gauvin
You need to concentrate on your serve.
Just like the three-day match between Isner and Mahut at Wimbledon.
Then, keep your hair.
Oops!
At present, the French Open still adopts a long-set tie-breaker system. That is to say, in the deciding set, if the score reaches "6:6", there will not be a tie-break, but the game will continue until one side wins two games in a row.
Otherwise, the competition will continue forever and ever without end——
For Gao Wen, the strategy is very simple. He needs to focus on his own serve first and focus on maintaining serve.
Boom boom, boom!
In the final analysis, tennis is not a sport that relies on brute force to determine the outcome.
The strong wind was blowing, the sky was dark, and the oppressive feeling firmly enveloped the top of the head.
"Time's up."
Fortunately it's not Tang Seng.
Like Tsonga, who uses strength to form pressure, often does not need to consider too much when hitting the ball, and the impact of outfield factors is relatively reduced.
Wait, isn't it?
call.
Moreover, don't forget that this is the decisive set, and there is no retreat for both players. Apart from physical fitness, condition, feel and other factors, psychology and mentality will also play an important role.
So, is Tsonga Deadpool? Wonder Woman? Or the Hulk?
Raising his head, Gawain glanced at Tsonga to see if he was ready, and then nodded secretly——
Subconsciously, the referee was looking at the sky, the tournament director was looking at the sky, and other event staff and spectators could not help but look up at the sky.
In the deciding set, Gao Wen served first.
Those cheers and cheers, over time, I got used to it and just used it as background music. Nowadays, isn’t “BGM” popular when superheroes appear?
But there are advantages and disadvantages. Tsonga's hitting is often rough. Under such circumstances, there will be more deviations in the judgment of spin, power and landing point. If you use force blindly, you will naturally be prone to more mistakes.
From the perspective of physical distribution, tactical layout, etc., this is the best choice.
At this moment, there was another strong gust of wind.
In the Stade Philippe-Chatier, the cheers were still surging, overwhelming and comparable to thunder.
Start from scratch.
Gawain let out a long breath, cleared all the disturbing thoughts in his mind, and firmly remembered one thing:
There is no doubt that this is Gawain's strength.
Simply and neatly, Gao Wen scored four straight points in the first service game of the deciding set and delivered a "love-game". He was not affected by the regrettable defeat in the previous tie-break, nor was he affected by the change in weather.
He secured serve steadily and made a good start for the deciding set.
For laymen, watching the excitement, they only saw Gao Wen's hair, but they didn't see much more. The only thing they could do was to continue to support Tsonga.
They are experts and know their way around, but they saw Gao Wen's wisdom from the first game of the final set. Keeping serve in this game was obviously not that simple.
The commentators’ exclamations could no longer be stopped——
The outcome of the final set seemed possible, maybe, maybe... the foreshadowing had been laid from the first game?
