"Gawain is indeed a big heart. We once again saw the game intelligence of this young player."
"Facing the weather changes, facing the pressure at home, and more importantly, facing Tsonga who was in high morale and launched an all-out attack aggressively after winning the fourth set, Gao Wen's response seemed mature and sophisticated.
We already had a firm foothold at the beginning of the final set.”
"In this game, there were four points. Gao Wen used four different tactical combinations, which did not give Tsonga much room to play. He scored four points and successfully maintained serve."
"Obviously, Gao Wen has got rid of the impact of the regrettable defeat in the previous set and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the final set. The entire tactical idea is very clear."
The commentators in the commentary box are bystanders who can examine the overall situation from a high position and capture the context of the game more clearly and comprehensively.
As they said, Gawain was fully prepared for the final set——
Focusing on maintaining your hair is only one aspect; the other is breaking the situation, which does not need to be rushed but needs to be laid out step by step.
Judging from the state at the end of the fourth set, Tsonga, who had survived the extreme physical condition, hit a small climax and repeatedly created threats in Gawain's serve; at the same time, Tsonga continued to maintain his strength in Tsonga's own serve.
The performance was strong. Although Gao Wen tried his best to delay the game, he still lost the tiebreaker.
In other words, Tsonga is at a small peak.
I saw——
Tsonga won't miss it.
Keep serve, keep serve, keep serve, the opening of the deciding set completely continued the atmosphere at the end of the fourth set, both players performed well.
Forehand. Diagonal line. Dead angle.
Seeing it, Gao Wen's return ball landed in the midfield, and the parabolic control was obviously not deep enough.
In contrast, Tsonga had a smooth sailing in his serve game. Although he faced some pressure, he did not face any break points. He successfully held serve twice in a row, continuing his fiery touch and continuously winning.
Push the pressure to Gawain's side and stay strong.
And...exciting.
After briefly patting the ball and looking up to confirm that Gawain was ready, Tsonga threw the ball directly——
"1:0".
Judging from the momentum of the situation, it is still a stalemate, and at the same time, Tsonga has a slight advantage.
For Tsonga, he needs applause, he needs cheers, he needs the excitement and passion of a strong showdown. He is a typical player who "gets stronger when he encounters the strong". He loves the top stage, likes the peak showdown, and advocates challenging the strong; naturally
, the game state is also prone to ups and downs, comparable to a roller coaster.
a district.
However, in the final set, both the physical and mental levels have reached the critical point. There are also weather factors that may interfere or even interrupt the game at any time. They are as distracting as untimely bombs. Maintaining concentration is definitely not that easy.
Easy things come with endless problems.
On the other side, I made an attempt in Tsonga's serve. I was not in a hurry to achieve immediate results, but I needed to change the rhythm of the game.
Perhaps, Tsonga's number of ACEs has not entered the top ten in history, and when people mention the cannon of serving, few people will think of him; but it is undeniable that the impact and oppression established by Tsonga through serving are absolutely
Excellent, this is also the foundation of his offensive tactical system.
The effect is... good.
Originally, Gao Wen tried to pull out a parabolic return ball in the deep zone to limit Tsonga's subsequent offensive connection to a certain extent, but the effect was not satisfactory.
But now that the game has reached the final set, whether it is Gao Wen or Tsonga, their physical fitness is no longer at the same level as in the opening stage. This means that,
The serve with a speed of 200 kilometers per hour created a cloud of dust when it hit the ground. It was fast and heavy, compressing Gawain's movement time. He could not completely move his feet. In the end, he could only rely on the backward tilt of his upper body to make way for the backhand.
He rolled up the tape quickly and barely pulled out a topspin return shot.
Tight.
The first serve was slightly to the inside corner, but mainly from close range, trying to squeeze Gao Wen's hitting space in the backhand position, relying on power and speed to create suppression.
really--
However, Gawain always adhered to his tactical layout and looked for opportunities patiently and tenaciously.
Although Gao Wen chose to return the ball in the middle, Tsonga didn't care at all. He swung the ball with his forehand and ripped the return angle away without hesitation.
For one thing, the peak state cannot last for long.
"2:1".
However, will Gawain be so helpless?
In the sixth game of the deciding set, Tsonga served.
"3:2".
The return ball came out shallow.
Get close and press the forehand.
Tsonga's serve was thick and powerful, comparable to a cannon, and successfully squeezed the speed of Gawain's racket head. In addition, the swing speed of the backhand with both hands was not as fast as that of the forehand, and the friction was still not enough.
Full, so that the parabolic flight trajectory is not full enough, especially the descent curve is far from enough, and then——
Therefore, what Gao Wen needs to do now is to stabilize the game, delay the game, avoid Tsonga's edge as much as possible, and wait for Tsonga's feel, momentum, and state to slowly decline; at the same time, he looks for opportunities to disrupt the rhythm and create
Difficulties destroyed Tsonga's touch and finally created opportunities.
Therefore, "layout" has become the focus of the opening stage of Gao Wen's final set.
On paper, you can already see the intricacies, and this is also the most subtle and difficult part of the final set; this is even more true when it comes to actual execution.
Tsonga's swing is not big, clean and concise but full of power. He also uses the inertia of his forward movement and relies on the superposition of body weight and run-up speed. You can feel the clever combination of energy and full release at the moment of taking the racket.
The posture of a cannon, shot out from the front.
Tsonga once forced two non-consecutive break points in Gao Wen's service game, but at the critical moment, Gao Wen showed his top performance and saved them all; and at his second game point, he passed
Continuous pressure caused Tsonga's return ball to hit the net, and he successfully secured serve.
With one step up, Tsonga has already directly entered the baseline. He is very timely and very determined. The whole step is very closely connected and he presses forward strongly.
Tsonga has an informal and free-spirited character. The rhythm between points is very fast, and the preparation of each point's serve is also very simple.
Here, start with your own serve game, use changes to take the initiative, and try to destroy Tsonga's rhythm and pattern as much as possible.
Sticky.
Secondly, it is no longer realistic to compete for every ball, and physical energy must be distributed more rationally.
Tsonga is a passionate player.
Gawain requires patience, care and concentration, all of which are indispensable.
In his game, if he enters the chicken blood state, he will definitely play like crazy, killing all directions and sweeping away thousands of troops; but if he is depressed and cools down, he will also make a lot of inexplicable low-level mistakes, and the entire performance may plummet.
Unable to perform to his normal level.
Among them, Tsonga is still the one in slightly better condition.
boom!
Hitting the ball, aiming at the big triangle of the bottom line of Gao Wen's forehand, he was not prepared to leave any defensive space for Gao Wen, aiming for the winning point.
the answer is negative--
How can it be!
Tsonga had just finished hitting the ball and had already caught Gawain's figure near the landing point of his ball.
