Center Court went crazy. There were no shouts, no screams, no whistles, just applause. However, the action of palm-to-palm collision burst out with incredible energy, spreading from the inside to the outside, and then raging from Murray Hill towards the Center Court again.
Finally came a storm.
Gawain is the first to appear.
Federer followed closely behind.
The whole audience is ready, the applause is rising steadily, reaching one peak after another, and you can feel the madness just by being at the scene.
The two players saluted towards the royal box and then officially began to prepare for the game.
The Queen is present.
It seems different, but in fact it doesn't seem that different. After all, the 15,000 spectators in the venue are so crowded and crowded, like a vast ocean, that it is difficult to notice a drop of water in it. Federer and Gawain exchanged a glance, and the two people understood each other tacitly.
The corner of his mouth raised on the ground.
However, it would also be a lie to say it was completely different.
The tension and excitement, anticipation and anxiety that permeate the air are still different after all——
This is the Central Court of the All England Club, the origin of modern tennis, and the gazes of the Queen and superstars. Even if the two players can remain calm, the audience becomes restless, and the excitement in the air becomes more and more boiling.
.
Changes melt into the air quietly, little by little, changing the game unconsciously, and the secretion of adrenaline quietly ignites the blood.
Therefore, when the game really kicked off, the difference could still be clearly felt.
Whether it’s Gawain or Federer, they all know what this game means——
It is not just as simple as competing for a spot in the Wimbledon finals, but it also carries many, many weights, including the weight of "the ultimate challenge in the era of giants".
At the beginning, the pressure swept across the entire venue like rolling thunder, silent but roaring.
In the first game, Federer served.
"0:40".
"Wow! Since the first round in Halle, Federer has only been broken in one service game, but when facing Gauvin in the semi-finals, he faced a crisis in the first service game and encountered three consecutive break points. Everything was fine.
It implies that today's game is different for both players."
"pretty!"
"Gawain played well, but Federer's counterattack was even better."
"The game has only started for three minutes, and the two players have already dedicated a wonderful confrontation of 16 shots. The transition between offense and defense is really outstanding."
"Federer relied on his unparalleled touch in front of the net to replay the small ball to win the point and save the break point."
Then, Federer saved three consecutive break points and secured serve in a thrilling manner.
As soon as the match started, Federer already clenched his fists and roared, cheering for himself.
"Wonderful!"
"Excellent! Judging from the first game, Gao Wen's tactical intention is very determined. He knows that Federer's offensive touch at Wimbledon this year is very good. It is difficult to stop Federer just relying on defense. Look at Simon's last game.
That’s why he attacked very resolutely.”
"In this regard, Sampras should have formulated a detailed strategy for Gawain."
"But Federer's response was also very good. The transition from defense to offense was handled extremely smoothly. The delicate touch in front of the net twice made Gawain helpless. In the opening stage, he had already forced the king of grass to be in his strongest state.
Federer's understanding of grass is truly unrivaled."
In the second game, Gao Wen served.
"0:40".
"Incredible. Wow, incredible!"
Even the well-informed McEnroe was shocked. The excitement of this semi-final completely exceeded expectations. The opening stage was already a climax.
On the front foot, Gao Wencai made waves in Federer's serve.
On the back foot, Federer launched a counterattack on Gawain's serve.
"Federer's offensive touch is really outstanding. The connection and change of the entire rhythm, the understanding of spin and bounce, let us see the peak state again. This year's Wimbledon Federer's state is indeed better than every game, step by step
Approaching your peak one step at a time.”
"In the opening stage, Gao Wen already felt the tremendous pressure of serving."
"Obviously, Federer watched the last match between Murray and Gauvin. Even on the first serve today, Federer's connection was very aggressive. Now it is time to test Gauvin."
"Wow!"
"God, wow!"
"What did we just see?"
"While running at high speed, Gawain hit the line with a straight forehand shot that jumped into the air to win. He turned the situation around in an absolutely passive and embarrassing situation, and made Federer's attack that he was determined to win in vain. Unbelievable, high
Wen also saved the break point with a stronger performance."
"God, this volley and the straight line of the forehand are really mind-numbing, and Gawain is in the same state."
Then, Gao Wen also saved three consecutive break points and secured serve in a thrilling manner.
crazy.
The entire center court went crazy.
Less than ten minutes into the game, the two players stepped on the accelerator. It was comparable to an F1 race, soaring directly from zero to 300 kilometers per hour. The wind was blowing in their faces, their hair stood on end, and their scalp was numb. It was like that.
Nervous and exciting, you can climb directly to the top without wasting any time.
"salute!"
"Stand and salute!"
"Federer's tactical intention of grabbing the serve is very clear. From the first serve of Gawain, he exerts huge pressure, which is obviously a reference to Murray's tactics; and the execution is very good. Federer's return of serve is often a flash of inspiration, which is difficult to predict.
Elusive and easily able to tip the balance."
"Federer's tactics show strength and he must be aggressive from the first touch of the ball."
"However."
"Gawain's response is equally wonderful. This 19-year-old player can write brilliance in the Grand Slam. He has won six games against the Big Four in the Grand Slam so far. He is by no means in vain. He is in crisis.
The handling and response to the situation have already reached the level of a giant."
"Dare to change lines, dare to take shots, dare to take risks, and most importantly, dare to break the frame. We can see that Gawain in this year's Melbourne Park finals is calm and calm in every change. He still finds the first line smoothly in the face of Federer who is full of firepower.
Survival, escaped three break points."
"nice!"
“Really beautiful!”
"Even though we all expected that this semi-final would be Mars hitting the Earth, when we actually saw it with our own eyes, we still couldn't help but sigh."
It has just started and it has already rushed directly to the highest peak. The audience did not even have time to fasten their seat belts and had already begun to experience the excitement of the roller coaster.
My heart is almost about to explode.
This is the pinnacle battle that they have been looking forward to -
After two games, countless netizens on social networks began to swipe the screen.
"The final was staged in advance".
Of course, no one has forgotten Djokovic, who was the first to reach the final, but there is no disrespect to Djokovic. The various factors of this collision are really fascinating, and all the attention of the world is focused on it.
On the court, Federer and Gauvin have taken off their burdens and devoted themselves to the game. Both players are fully prepared for this game.
