He moved smoothly and smoothly. Although he was in a passive position to receive the serve, his mind was full of inspiration and determination without any hesitation. He immediately seized the opportunity and entered the baseline.
Step forward, sprint——
Gawain glanced at Nadal's position and the parabola of the return ball, and stepped forward along the diagonal line at a 45-degree angle with even more determination.
Stay calm, stay steady, and keep adjusting your position in small steps.
Then, get in place.
One step, stop; adjust, turn——
Take action.
"ah!"
You can see Nadal starting up at the first moment, moving laterally towards the left side of his forehand. He seems to have foreseen Gawain's hitting choice——
But Gawain didn't.
Therefore, Gawain chose to volley.
Gao Wen aimed at the blind corner of Nadal's left baseline triangle and launched a volley.
"reason?"
"However, Gao Wen did it. This young and energetic player showed courage and courage, as well as perseverance and determination. The performance in these two games was really wonderful."
boom!
Power pours out.
"6:5".
"Indeed."
"If today, some people still think that it was luck that Gao Wen won two Grand Slam championships, then he is a fool. He should really take a good look at this game. The championship temperament displayed by Gao Wen is enough to conquer everyone.
A spectator who loves tennis, no one should miss it.”
Just a little bit different.
At this time, Nadal's return obviously lacked control. The entire parabola was high and short, and finally landed near the bottom line of the service area on the right side of Gao Wen, a midfield ball without any threat. Moreover, the height of the parabola was average and the highest position.
That is, it is a little more than two meters, suitable for direct blocking.
"Maybe opponents can sense Rafa's fatigue, but not all opponents can push Rafa to the extreme and realize their advantage, especially here."
"Ahhhhhhhh..."
How much risk, how much reward.
The face is red, the ears are red, and the blue veins are protruding.
Nadal rushed forward with a sideways sliding step, and already swung his forehand.
"The situation is quietly changing."
Applause, cheers, whistles, roars, and praises were all intertwined together, like a volcanic eruption, and finally evolved into a long series of vibrations that continued to roar and surge above the eardrums. All sounds were swallowed up, leaving only the surging sound.
Passion continues to surge under the sun.
Nadal, after all, still swung an empty shot.
"ah!"
"...Rafa is tired."
The whole audience forgot everything——
Sometimes, the deviation may be the millisecond gained on the volley.
"Rafa is tired. Physically and mentally, he feels the strong impact from his opponents in all aspects. Rafa, who has never been in the best condition this season, also felt the impact deeply at the Philippe-Chatier Stadium."
Gao Wen took the lead for the first time in the whole match. After saving four more set points, he was about to usher in his own serve to win the set.
The tennis ball, grazing the head of the racket, completed the breakthrough and rushed towards the bottom line billboard.
Kick off the ground, turn around, and shoot.
His judgment was correct.
Gawain, tired to the extreme and burning to the extreme, was released again.
Break!
The tennis ball was like a cannonball being discharged from the barrel. All the rotations were shattered into pieces and disappeared under the pressure of the raging force. Then the tennis ball turned into a stream of light, and the mustard yellow color disappeared little by little into the golden halo.
It is precisely because of this that Gao Wen never relaxed in his small adjustments. He was always looking for the most suitable space between himself and the tennis ball, and remained 100% focused, waiting for the right opportunity to hit the ball.
Gawain clenched his hands into fists and swung them back, as if he were spreading his wings to fly in the wind. He looked up to the sky and roared, and the emotions surging in his chest burned fiercely.
However, accurate judgment will not help, because Gawain's volley completely compressed the reaction time and released the power without reservation. Even if Nadal's prediction was accurate, even if Nadal moved ahead of schedule, it was still a little short in the end.
Now that the opportunity has arisen, it must be seized.
In volleying, tennis is the same as in football. You must be careful and careful, spin, timing, hitting point, direction of force. If any detail is slightly off, the result will be an anti-aircraft gun and a wild plan.
If the same shot is volleyed now without waiting for the landing to rebound, it means that the gravitational acceleration attached to the gravity of the earth will become an interference, and the difficulty will increase tenfold and a hundredfold——
Everyone, hold your breath.
"Including the past two games, as well as the next game, it is likely to become a turning point in the entire game. Next, it depends on how Gao Wen grasps it."
finally!
"Of course, Gawain performed well and deserves all the applause."
"Before this game, Gao Wen had twelve break points, but he was unable to cash in once; in this game, Gao Wen only needed two chances to break serve."
Perhaps, the only thing that needs attention is spin. The strong friction of Nadal spin makes the tennis ball rotate at high speed. Even if the friction is not actively increased, it is still a habit deeply imprinted in Nadal's bones.
straight line.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
He finally broke serve successfully!
After two hours of hard work, and after missing twelve break points, he finally cashed in on Nadal for the first time in Philippe-Chatier.
If Gawain chose to wait for the tennis ball to hit the ground before attacking, it might be a different story.
Gao Wen, hold your breath, he is not going to wait for the tennis ball to hit the ground before hitting the ball, but chooses to volley from the midfield to compress the rhythm of the round as much as possible, because he knows how good Nadal's defensive ability is.
Then, Gawain seized the opportunity and wrote the ending he desired.
brush!
Swing your forearm quickly, and keep pressing your body forward along the swing, using your body weight and inertia to increase the stability of your swing. The racket surface is slightly downward, keeping your forearm and wrist straight, as if you are hitting a baseball.
Just a little bit.
Clenching his fists, Gawain's high fighting spirit erupted with astonishing colors, as if the God of War had descended to earth, and his firm and bright eyes were burning.
Buzz.
Who said that the second set has been settled? Who said that if you lose the second set, you will basically lose the entire game? Who said that Gao Wen has surrendered?
Gawain is still fighting. He has not given up, surrendered or surrendered, and he is not desperate. He is still burning all his energy for victory.
The game is not over, far from over——
"We should all not forget that Rafa's ability to launch counterattacks in difficult situations has been proven more than once and twice. Never underestimate his energy. This is Philippe Chartier, and this is the battlefield where Rafa is famous.
, on this court, as long as the last ball does not land, everything is still possible. Any player who wants to overthrow Rafa here may need ten or even a hundred times more determination and perseverance."
"A rock-solid will, an indomitable perseverance, and a belief in fighting back are all indispensable."
"The battle is still going on."
"And we were so lucky to be there to witness it."
boom!
Boom boom boom!
The heat wave at the Philippe-Chatier Stadium lasted for a long time. It was clear that the game was not over yet, but the entire audience had unreservedly released all their energy, roared to their heart's content, danced to their heart's content, enjoyed themselves, opened their arms and immersed themselves in
