With passion and blood boiling, Gawain finally held back no more and released all the suppressed and repressed emotions, and a billowing heat wave swept over the entire audience.
boom!
The volcano erupted, from Center Court to Murray Hill to all the bars in Wimbledon, and finally spread across the world.
McEnroe had lost his words, "God, oh, God."
Xu Yang tried his best to stay calm, but his slightly trembling voice still revealed the turmoil in his heart, "Gaowen's handling of this shot is definitely a master's degree."
Buzz, buzz, buzz, roaring sound hovering over the center court——
Wonderful.
Truly wonderful.
Throughout the first set, Federer and Gauvin were at their best. The back-and-forth battle was a stalemate throughout.
It is slightly different from the previous stalemate of "Gawain VS Murray". This game is not a tug-of-war and entanglement, but a game and counterattack.
In fact, the first set only lasted forty-three minutes until the tie-break. Compared with the number of games, the speed was extremely fast. The tie-break lasted a total of thirteen minutes, which was counted as three.
Each round lasted an average of just over two minutes and less than three minutes, and the rhythm was very rough.
However, the content of the game is extremely rich. It is not just as simple as the transition between offense and defense. You can feel the competition between the two players almost every time you touch the ball, including those seemingly simple and crude ACEs and straight serves, which all contain the strength of the two players.
Game and tension fill every corner.
There is no doubt that both players contributed to the top level and fully met all expectations for this game.
Definitely worth the price of admission!
In the end, Gao Wen saved two set points and successfully cashed in on his first set point with a backhand chip that shocked everyone with a flash of inspiration.
"7:6(6)".
The score is fixed here, victory belongs to Gawain.
Before this game, although mainstream opinions were generally optimistic about Federer, no one denied Gauvin's impact. Even Federer's most die-hard and loyal fans admitted this, so people believed that Federer might need four sets to defeat Gauvin.
Wen, and there must be a hard fight.
However!
When Gao Wen really won the first set through a tie-break in the strong clash, from the central court to Murray Hill to the commentary box to the social network, the game still set off a storm, especially
The hearts of Federer fans tightened and they became nervous.
Because Gao Wen has the ability to defeat Federer and has defeated Federer before. Now Gao Wen is proving this with practical actions.
By the way, this is the second set Federer has lost at Wimbledon this year——
Previously, in the third round, Federer faced Australia's Gross and unexpectedly lost the third set tiebreaker with a score of "7:5"; but then, Federer exploded in the fourth set and broke through successively.
Losing Gross's serve in two games, he easily achieved victory with "6:2".
Then, and now, Gauvin also grabbed a set from Federer in a tie-break.
"For Federer, from a positive point of view, he still has not lost his serve. Except for the first game of the whole match, he has not faced a break point. His excellent service and attack are still at the peak level. Even if he loses the first game
After one set, Federer still had the upper hand."
"But from a negative point of view, he suffered a break of serve when he faced Simon in the last game, and at the last moment of the tie-break, he once again had the problem of weakness, and Gao Wen seized the opportunity and broke two consecutive service points.
It's rare, very, very rare, and it's also a hidden danger."
"Of course, it's still too early to draw conclusions now. We need to look at the second set."
"How does Federer respond, and at the same time, whether Gawain can continue his form in the first set."
A layman can watch the excitement, an expert can watch the door -
No one can deny Gao Wen's outstanding performance in the first set. It is absolutely top-notch, no matter whether it is an expert or an outsider.
The difference is that when outsiders saw Gawain's hot state, one or two people fell to Gawain like grassroots, thinking that the outcome was no longer in suspense; while insiders saw Gawain's intense consumption of physical and energy in the first set.
At all levels, subsequent games may face challenges.
In essence, Federer is calm because he understands the grass and how he should use this field. He can easily take advantage of the situation and effectively control the consumption of physical strength and energy.
Gawain was different. Because he didn't understand the grass well enough, he finally relied on his youthful energy to fight. He frequently slipped to save the ball in the last few minutes of the tie-break. The audience watched wonderfully, but Gawain himself was very exhausted.
Violent, as the game progresses, the situation will become more and more serious.
Why is the best-of-five-set format in Grand Slam matches more difficult? Is it just because of physical fitness?
of course not.
It's because in a longer game, players' state fluctuations are more obvious and more severe. They need to master the skills to expand their advantage at their peak state, and also need to master the skills to avoid being widened in their trough state. This foundation can
This is the reason why the Big Four Grand Slams are so difficult to beat.
Therefore, as Xu Yang said, in the second set, the adjustment of the two players is the key point.
really!
Federer and Gauvin did not disappoint. Their strong collision started from the beginning of the second set.
In the second set, Gao Wen took the lead in serving.
Obviously, the consumption of continuous fighting in the tie-break is obvious. As the game progresses, adrenaline keeps spurting out and enters a state of selflessness, so it has no impact; but after winning the tie-break, a break between sets makes those consumptions multiply.
It emerged that it was a bit difficult when the game started again.
The brain, spirit and will are still burning, still tense, and still in a high-frequency state.
However, the body, muscles and breathing can obviously feel that the consumption cannot keep up with the command of the brain.
This kind of situation is not considered the peak of physical fitness, but more of an adjustment of breathing and rhythm, but this still requires a process.
It is conceivable that the tactical layout and batting methods also need to be adjusted. These are the key to testing the players.
Gawain is no stranger to this. He has been mentally prepared. He believes that Federer will definitely seize the opportunity to launch an attack. But the difference in reality is that he can accurately calculate his own but not Federer's. The opponent's impact is like a stormy sea.
Usually they come one after another.
Gawain is indeed a little embarrassed——
Although Gawain tried to adjust the rhythm through tactical layout and regain control of the game, Federer did not agree.
Speed up. Speed up. Speed up again.
It's not just speed, but rhythm. Federer shows his true nature as a king, and also shows his understanding of grass and Wimbledon. From space to line, from speed to rhythm, from spin to power, the ever-changing shots are always easy to hit.
Can disrupt Gawain's rhythm.
Obviously, Federer firmly seized the opportunity and "killed you while you were sick". He just didn't allow Gao Wen to find the rhythm comfortably. Even breaking serve was not the first goal, but to change the rhythm of the game bit by bit.
Putting it under one's own control, this wisdom and maturity is something that most people cannot understand.
