In the commentary booth, the air was slightly tense, and there was a brief gap of silence——
In a tennis match, commentators try to avoid speaking between rounds to disrupt the audience's attention. However, they need to make every possible comment between rounds to ensure the vitality of the entire event. This also provides tennis
Interpretation work presents more diverse tests.
But at this time, it was the gap between rounds, and there was still no words in the commentary box. The French commentator next door broke in with his passionate commentary. Tong Kexin immediately realized the tension in the atmosphere and slowed down a little.
It took half a beat, but I still subconsciously opened my mouth to fill the gap in the live broadcast.
"Now the situation in the fourth set is a bit stalemate."
One sentence was enough. The commentary partner Xu Yang understood it and immediately nodded gently and took over the conversation, "It is true that the two sides are in a tug of war."
At last month's Roland Garros, although Gao Wen unfortunately stopped in the semi-finals and ended his 19th consecutive Grand Slam victory, his outstanding performance still sparked a frenzy of heated discussions. The entire Chinese mainland was crazy about it, from ratings to trending searches.
The rankings have been swept across the board, and the discussion intensity has been comparable to that of the World Cup.
The media, large and small, have already smelled business opportunities in Gao Wen. If it weren't for the intensive schedule from the clay court season to the grass court season, the invitations for Gao Wen to participate in programs and activities should have filled a room at this time.
Although Tobias rejected all proposals and stated clearly that all commercial activities would be temporarily put on hold and Gao Wen needs to concentrate on preparing for the grassland season, it does not mean that the media will have nothing to do. There is a sweet steamed bun in front of them:
Wimbledon.
This time when we came to the All England Club, in addition to the traditional TV station team headed by CCTV, the emerging online broadcast platform giants also came out one after another.
Although Gao Wen performed poorly in the warm-up matches on grass, with a mediocre record of one win and one loss, the media, large and small, are still full of expectations.
According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 300 Chinese media teams in different media and platforms. CCTV also sent a complete team to give Wimbledon the highest treatment. They did not choose to live broadcast in the studio in the imperial capital, but went to the All England Club.
Live broadcast live.
After the Australian Open at the beginning of the year, Tong Kexin and Xu Yang once again partnered as commentators——
Among tennis enthusiasts, there is a saying that Tong Kexin is Djokovic’s lucky star. As long as she narrates the events, Djokovic will win the final championship; but at Melbourne Park, Tong Kexin
As a new narrator, he witnessed the glorious moment when Gawain broke the curse.
When it came to Roland Garros, Tong Kexin did not continue his commentary, so Gao Wen ended his Grand Slam winning streak.
This time, CCTV once again selected Tong Ke's new partner Xu Yang, hoping to bring some luck to Gao Wen's Wimbledon prospects.

Urgent situation.
Xu Yang appeared low-key and calm. Even if he was nervous, he still spoke calmly and calmly and comprehensively observed the progress of the game.
"Objectively speaking, at the end of the third set, Gao Wen's condition did recover slightly, and his grasp of key points was very good. However, one fact that cannot be denied is that Istomin's performance after getting the match point obviously fluctuated.
, the closer you get to victory, the easier it is to lose focus.”
"Gaowen is a player who is very good at analyzing the game and seizing opportunities. He noticed Istomin's fluctuations, immediately adjusted his tactics, won three games in a row, and successfully won the third set.
"
"However, Gao Wen's own ball feel is still being adjusted and still being explored. His game quality has improved slightly, but it is still not at its best. At the same time, entering the fourth set, Istomin's psychological fluctuations gradually calmed down.
He found his form again, so the game was deadlocked."
——"2:2".
In the first four games of the fourth set, both players maintained serve to maintain balance.
"Looking at the overall situation, it is Istomin who still has the upper hand. He has continued the confidence and state of winning last week in Nottingham to Wimbledon. In addition to his attention wandering when victory was within reach in the third set,
The performance was really impeccable, and the same was true in the fourth set.”
"However, Gao Wen's hitting feeling slowly returned in the fourth set. He is constantly improving his condition and exploring Wimbledon's hitting feeling."
"We all know that Gao Wen is a very smart player. He is always thinking, trying and taking risks. Looking at it from another perspective, the stalemate in the fourth set was also a scene that could not be seen in the first three sets. Now
Gao Wen has been able to slow down the game and then look for opportunities."
"It can be clearly seen that the feeling of Gao Wen's forehand is coming back, but some of his backhand shots still need to be polished."
As far as Xu Yang is concerned, he is nervous, but more importantly, he is looking forward to it and curious about the direction of the fourth set.
"Well..." Tong Kexin groaned and chuckled, "So, now we can't rely on luck to help like in the third set. We have to see the real chapter next, right?"
The words are correct, but why does the tone sound weird?
Xu Yang glanced at his partner, but he was no longer surprised. Just as Istomin was about to serve, he closed his mouth.
The stalemate continues.
"3:3".
In the blink of an eye, the fourth set is coming to an end. The whole game progresses very quickly, continuing the usual style of grass, and it is over if you don't pay attention.
At the same time, changes, ups and downs, and surprises also come very quickly. If you can't keep up with the rhythm the first time, you may completely lose your initiative in the next second.
That was it at the end of the third set.
Istomin only lost his attention for a moment, but the match point break point count had already whizzed by. Before he had time to understand what was going on, the third set was already in the past tense, and then they stood on the court for the third set.
The four-set match continues the battle.
If Istomin wants to defeat Gauvin in an upset, he must start over in the fourth set.
Likewise, the fourth set was no exception; moreover, this change came a little earlier.
Judging from the score, "3:3", this is the middle of a game, neither forward nor backward, neither up nor down, neither the beginning nor the end. There is no need to be too nervous, just focus on your own game;
But often, it’s during this “boring, mediocre, boring” stage that it’s easy to get distracted——
Istomin showed his physical strength.
In fact, Gao Wen also faces the test of extreme physical fitness. At this point, both players are the same.
It is precisely because of this that in the first half of the fourth set, both players spent more energy on their own serve, saving energy and striving to maintain serve.
For top players, extreme physical fitness does not mean that the entire game is completely paralyzed, but that the quality of batting is reduced, so tactical adjustments need to be made. Different players have their own backup tactical routines under physical difficulties. Only at this time can they
