"His position should be about three to four meters from the baseline. Giron had completely taken the initiative, but Gao Wen unexpectedly chose an overhead smash. This was completely a badminton hitting technique rather than a typical tennis technique. In the end, he created
The incredible effect completely disrupted Jilong's tactical intention of trying to block and intercept the ball."
"Break the network successfully!"
"This reminds me of the 2002 semi-finals in Basel, the match between Federer and Roddick. Federer was also about four meters away from the baseline. Roddick made a high-pressure smash in front of the net. Federer was very, very passive and completed a shot.
A high click above the head, like a badminton ball."
"That shot made Roddick throw the racket away."
"His wild imagination and inspiring hitting touch really interpret tennis into a new charm. Unexpectedly, Gao Wen also showed off his performance today."
“Wonderful! Wonderful!”
"'0:30', in this round, Geelong is in crisis again."
…
"Oh, God."
"Ouch!"
"Double fault, actually a double fault, for Geelong, this is really hurtful."
"No one wants to see this scene, and it is even more fatal for Geelong. He lost four points in a row again, and he lost his serve again in such a way without even having time to fight properly. There is no doubt that,
This is a heavy blow."
"Up to now, Geelong has lost 16 points in a row and lost four games in a row. Geelong's confidence and state have been obviously shaken."
"Of course, from a tactical and state perspective, Gao Wen dominated the game, putting pressure on Giron from the moment he received the serve, and executed it all the way to every shot. The entire tactical layout and execution were perfect, showing his outstanding performance.
Gao Wen’s interpretation and control of the game are truly outstanding.”
"Little by little, Jilong has fallen into the mud. Now he almost doesn't know how to hit the ball, and has completely lost the method of confrontation and scoring."
…
"Look, the entire audience is applauding Giron now. I hope this young player will not be discouraged and can muster the courage to continue fighting to the end."
"In this game, Jilong and Gaowen had a wonderful and powerful collision and played a good game for one and a half sets."
"Not only was the first set inextricable, but in the second set Geelong was once in the lead, with a game score of '2:0', and took a small lead of '0:30' in Gao Wen's serve, but after that, Gao Wen
Totally took over the game."
"Wow, a straight forehand score! Gao Wen has won the 18th consecutive point!"
"It's not normal. This is really not normal. It's not possible to determine for the time being whether Giron is injured or is experiencing extreme physical fitness. But the whole game suddenly took a cliff-like turn, and the collision of powerful duels turned into a one-sided one in an instant.
Collapse, this is not what the audience wants to see."
The whole audience burst into applause!
Once again, they cheered for Geelong. They were looking forward to a wonderful showdown, but at the same time they began to worry about whether Geelong had any physical problems.
Macdonald was no exception, with a worried face——
However, judging from Jilong's movements, expressions and body language, there was no problem. After the irritability and anger, it was more of a feeling of frustration and confusion.
For a moment, MacDonald couldn't tell the difference.
In the 20th minute, Gao Wen relied on a de-energized and high-bouncing second serve to force Giron to return the serve out of bounds, easily holding serve again.
The fourth consecutive "love-game" was also the fifth consecutive game. In the blink of an eye, the balance of victory and defeat in the entire game had been completely broken.
"5:2".
Next came the service game where Geelong had to keep it.
In fact, objectively speaking, Geelong is just one break behind. The magical "5:2" still has the possibility of a different direction, but everything that happened in the past fifteen minutes completely broke the balance, so that
My mentality and feelings have changed.
Can Geelong maintain serve? Only by maintaining serve can we stay in the game.
Or, can Geelong win a point, after losing twenty points in a row?
In tennis matches, a perfect set is also known as the "golden set"——
There are six rounds in a set, each with four points. That is to say, if you score 24 points in a row, you will not only win the set with "6:0", but you will also win six consecutive "love-games"
Complete liquidation.
But any tennis player should know that this requires not only strength, but also some luck. After all, it is impossible to make no mistakes in a tennis match.
Of course, the set in front of us has missed the "golden set". Jilong performed very well at the beginning and won two games in a row; but the problem is that now Jilong has lost twenty points in a row. That's five games, but one point.
Neither of them can be taken off, and the situation is completely plunged into fog.
what's next?
"Bah! Marcos!"
"Bah! Marcos!"
The audience at the Center Court began to cheer for Geelong -
It is purely an expectation, an encouragement, and a support, a desire to see wonderful games, a passion for competitive spirit, and an explosion of powerful energy.
The Toronto audience had no problem with Gauvin, but such a one-sided game was really disappointing; especially since they came without high expectations today, and the result was that until the third game of the second set, the two players were going back and forth with each other.
The strong collision really brought surprises, and the situation in front of me became more and more uncomfortable.
Applause and cheers rolled in, overwhelming.
The entire field of vision was directed toward the two figures taking a short break on the court.
Macdonald is no exception.
For a moment, there was a conflict of emotions, and MacDonald himself did not realize it, and he couldn't help but hold his breath.
On the one hand, he couldn't bear to watch anymore. If Geelong really collapsed completely and gave up the victory like this, it would be really cruel.
On the other hand, he doesn't want Gawain to let go, because the matter has come to this, and if Gawain lets go, it will be an insult. Compared with the golden plate, what is uglier, more terrifying and more humiliating is sympathy. In competitive sports,
In this world, sympathy is a poison and even an insult.
So, what should he do?
Sitting quietly, Macdonald realized something like never before. He still had many things to learn on his tennis journey.
Perhaps, the head-on blow the Bruins suffered in the past year is not a good thing, but it is far from a bad thing.
At least, Macdonald is unwilling to face the predicament at this moment. He does not want to be Geelong, let alone Gawain.
Even if he understands those truths deep down in his heart, Gawain should stay focused and continue to play ruthlessly, and must not be swayed by personal feelings; but the truth is simple to say, if MacDonald stands on the court by himself, he does not think he can do it
.
Winning is torture; handicap is even more painful.
MacDonald could no longer feel his heartbeat and just stared at the court quietly. He knew that this was the only way for him to grow.
