He turned sideways and made a forehand, unsheathed his long sword, and in one go, he suddenly increased his speed and broke his balance. He struck out with all his strength without warning, and smashed the tennis ball with all his might.
The sword rises and falls with the hand, and the score is scored directly.
Everything happened so suddenly, unexpectedly, and explosively that the entire audience was stunned. No one, including Istomin, expected this scene.
Buzz…
Only the air is burning, and it seems that the magma is erupting.
Ah ah ah ah ah……
Gawain roared, rising steadily, the surging energy was like thunder on the ground, and the billowing air waves swept the whole place with an unparalleled attitude.
boom!
Ah ah ah, Sampras raised his arms and shouted, his red eyes full of murderous intent.
Ahhhh, Jiang Yanyun raised his hands high and jumped three feet high.
Ahhhhh, the commentary box went crazy, one or two people started shouting.
Ahhhh, the storm swept across the No. 2 court, faces twisted with excitement, and the billowing heat waves released endless energy.
"God! Gawain did it, Gawain did it again!"
"It only took Gao Wen less than five minutes from facing the match point to turning the situation around. He broke serve for the first time in the match. Gao Wen only needed one break point."
"Obviously, Istomin was affected by the changes in the entire situation and was unable to clarify his thoughts. The tactical combination from serving to attack was a bit sloppy. Gao Wen sensed the opportunity and firmly grasped it."
"A sideways forehand shot was groundbreaking! It broke the rhythm and balance without warning, and ended the point directly in an unreasonable way."
"And, cash in on the break point!"
"Friends in the audience, oh, God, friends in the audience in front of the TV, Gao Wen is in the lead. For the first time since the start of the game, Gao Wen is in the lead."
"The next step is for Gawain to serve and win the set. He will fight to stay at Wimbledon."
"Wonderful, this is really wonderful!"
Turbulent, hot, forgetful——
The entire No. 2 stadium entered a carnival state, going crazy, crazy, crazy.
Originally, the audience was already drowsy, and a large part of the audience left early. They came to the scene with high expectations but did not want to see such a bad upset. They were disappointed and felt disheartened.
Of course, there was also the merciless swearing.
"I just said, young people still need more time to grow up."
"Sure enough, those touts, praises and auras are just traffic bubbles and cannot be trusted."
"No, no, this generation of young people still can't do it."
"The Big Four are known as the Big Four for a reason. These young people cannot be compared. The gap is too scary."
"Moisture, moisture, the sea is all water, and this performance is still the fifth giant, haha."
"The performance in the first half of the year was indeed good, but it cannot stand the praise, so it fell apart."
Each and every one of them seemed to have predicted this scene, and then left the stadium while shaking their heads and complaining.
Of course, this did not affect the attendance of Stadium No. 2——
Wimbledon tickets are the most cost-effective.
A seventy-eight-pound Center Court ticket covers all games except Court One; a sixty-pound Center Court ticket covers all games except Center Court; a fifty-pound Court Two ticket
, you can watch all games except Center Court and Court One.
In addition, outfield tickets cost 25 pounds and can watch all games except Center Court, Court One and Court Two.
However, even if you hold a ticket for Center Court or Court 1 and want to watch a game on Court 2 or the outfield, you still need to wait at the door. If there are empty seats in the stadium, the on-site staff will clear the seats in time and then follow the queuing order.
Enter in order.
In other words, as long as there are people waiting in line at the entrance of the stadium, there will be no empty seats inside the stadium.
Therefore, from the perspective of television broadcasts, Wimbledon's attendance rate has always been the highest among the four Grand Slams.
At this time, Stadium No. 2 looks like this:
One group of spectators left, but another group came in. Maybe Gao Wen still needs time to accumulate his audience base, but judging from the popularity of the topic, Gao Wen is undoubtedly the top presence of the pyramid, waiting at the door of Stadium No. 2
There was a long queue of people still eager to watch this game.
Now, Court No. 2 has a completely new look.
"As expected of Gawain, no matter how difficult or dangerous the situation is, never underestimate him."
"Look at Roland Garros, Wawrinka has entered a super state, and Gawain still managed to cause a misjudgment. This young man is not a soft persimmon."
"It's not in vain that I gave up the game on Court 1 and made a special trip to Court 2 and waited in line for thirty minutes. It was really wonderful."
Noisy, heat wave, gurgling.
The atmosphere in Court No. 2 is still rising. After waiting and waiting, this game seems to have finally reached its climax, and I can't help but feel excited.
In such an environment, it was not easy for Istomin to try to calm down and stay focused.
In the end, Istomin simply covered his head with a towel to block his sight. His voice also lowered in the darkness, and he was finally able to think——
He still has a chance.
Although the changes in the past two games are indeed not satisfactory, he has not fallen behind. He still takes the initiative and he still feels hot.
Therefore, what he needs to do now is to get rid of distracting thoughts, stay focused, and then give it a try when Gao Wen serves to win the game to see if he can fight his way out. Even if he fails, it doesn't matter. He is preparing for the follow-up, but
What if it succeeds? The situation can be reversed again.
Secretly, Istomin encouraged himself, regained his senses, and regained his composure.
The fact is as Istomin thought, he is indeed qualified to be confident in today's game. The two games just fell into the "psychological fluctuations that may end the game but require the final blow." This led to abnormal performance, but short-term fluctuations.
Afterwards, when he calms down, he can still perform well.
Take a deep breath.
Take another deep breath.
After waiting for the referee to announce the end of the inter-inning break, Istomin took off his towel, picked up his racket, and walked onto the court with his legs high.
The spirit and state are all prepared. Don't forget that Istomin's performance in receiving the serve has always been strong in today's game. The excellent return of serve has indeed created a lot of pressure on Gao Wen, which in turn amplified Gao Wen's lack of sense of ball.
Find your weaknesses and gain advantages for yourself.
Next, Istomin just needs to continue to be himself.
However, Istomin forgot one thing——
This is Gawain's serve, and he still needs to ask Gawain for his opinion.
"15:0", outer corner ACE.
"30:0", inside corner ACE.
"40:0", inside corner ACE.
Before he even had time to breathe, Gao Wen had already issued three consecutive ACEs, all at a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour, firmly controlling the situation.
Everything happened so fast that his brain had no time to turn, and then Gawain had already scored three consecutive points.
However, there are still all variables. After all, in the last service game, Gao Wen fluctuated at "40:0", so what about this time——
"Game, set, high."
The fourth ACE, the first count, was easily cashed out.
