This was also the first time since the twelfth game of the second set that Gauvin scored two points in Tsonga's serve; however, Tsonga still relied on a forehand slash "inside-out" to win the point.
, successfully completed the service guarantee, and he has not encountered a break point test in six consecutive service games.
Not even an equal share.
Pressure, back to Gawain.
"4:4".
The final set, dragging and grinding, has come to an end, and any break of serve may become a turning point in the end of the game.
call!
He let out a heavy breath. Although he failed to seize the opportunity to tie the score, let alone break point, Gao Wen could still see the positive side. At least in this round, the confrontation in the baseline round had reached a stalemate.
It's progress.
One step at a time.
There's no need to rush.
Now, he will temporarily turn his attention back and focus on his own serve. After all, all of Gao Wen's serves so far in the third set have faced the test of break points. This is the problem. He needs to regain his strength.
Only with the control of the serve can confrontation take shape.
In the ninth game, Gao Wen's serve game.
"0:15".
From the first point, Tsonga showed his aggressiveness.
Obviously, Tsonga is also reading and analyzing the game——
He also realized that Gao Wen was slowly getting back on track. He also realized that he had missed a thousand and one break points. He also realized that the third set was coming to an end. He also realized that he needed to seize the opportunity and sprint towards victory.
.
In the first point, Tsonga's offense was very strong. He made two sideways forehands in a row, not giving Gawain a chance at all, and unreasonably scored the winning point.
In this round, Tsonga really made Gawain lose his temper at all.
However, Gawain was not moved at all. This situation did not just happen. The situation throughout the third set was so bad.
"15:15".
Gao Wen suppressed Tsonga's backhand with a forehand shot in a straight line, forcing Tsonga to return the ball out of bounds, and easily won the first point of his serve.
The air was slightly tense. It used to be chaos, anxiety, and emptiness. It was like a ball of chaos that could never find its focus, but now it is tense again.
"30:15", a combination of a side-cutting serve from an inside corner and a forehand with a repeated return shot, a continuous straight attack from the forehand position followed by a diagonal assault, and easily scored a point.
"40:15", a close shot of the serve that suppressed the forehand completely broke Tsonga's expectations. The tactics of suppressing the backhand throughout the third set suddenly changed, so that Tsonga was not prepared enough, and the forehand return of the serve was obviously not possible.
Finding the sweet spot caused the return ball to rise, and Gao Wen quickly entered the court to complete the midfield attack.
Since the unexpected injury, this is the first time that Gao Wen has taken the lead in winning the game point in his own service game.
The situation is indeed changing quietly.
Immediately afterwards——
ACE.
Zone 1, inner corner, accurately pressing the T point, with a speed of 186 kilometers per hour.
It’s not fast. It’s far from a fast serve among men’s players, but the perfect combination of placement and speed didn’t give Tsonga any chance at all.
Tsonga:???
Throughout the third set, Gao Wen's first serve speed hovered around 160 kilometers per hour and 170 kilometers per hour, mainly spinning and landing. But at this time, the speed suddenly increased. Even though the improvement was limited, it still overturned the situation and caught Tsonga off guard.
, not prepared at all, and then witnessed ACE.
Keep your hair safe!
Maintain your hair easily!
"5:4".
Under the stalemate situation with accumulated pressure, this situation completely exceeded expectations. No one expected that the situation would change again.
Gawain's serve was shaky, precarious, and could collapse at any time. He struggled to hold serve all the way, dancing wildly on the wire rope. Any slight deviation might not be the current situation, and the game might have been "6:0" long ago.
The situation came to an end one-sidedly.
However!
not at all.
After adjustments, adjustments, unremitting efforts and tenacious persistence, Gao Wen finally slowly took control of the rhythm and ushered in a new change.
From the tactical level, the tone was broken continuously, especially the sudden acceleration of the last ACE, which easily overturned the inertia of the third set.
Finally, I easily completed the guaranteed hair without encountering any challenges.
At the critical moment, Gao Wen stood firm and pushed all the pressure on Tsonga again, and the whole audience exclaimed.
Wow!
Unbelievable exclamations and shouts surged throughout the audience——
Even if I witness it with my own eyes, it is still hard to believe that the excitement and excitement are like a volcanic eruption that continuously releases energy.
Including Sampras et al.
In fact, for them, the third set was a kind of torture. Every minute and every second, they were thinking about letting Gao Wen withdraw from the game.
It’s just a quarterfinal match at the Masters, why bother?
But I watched Gawain find ways to turn the situation around again and again in difficult situations, like a roly-poly, holding on to the game tenaciously and tenaciously.
Little by little, the high fighting spirit in the body was awakened again. It was different from any previous game by Gao Wen, and even different from any game in their own careers. That kind of will and spiritual energy, in
In the center of the desert, it takes root and grows wildly.
Until a flower bloomed in the hard rock.
Peart folded his hands on his chest, making a defensive posture, clenching his fists, staring intently and concentrating. He immediately saw Gawain's eyes.
There was no celebration, no release, and no relaxation. After firing his seventh ace in the match and finally successfully holding serve for the first time in the third set, Gao Wen's eyes revealed a kind of perseverance and determination, bursting with indomitable light, calm and
Steadyly walked to the players' dugout.
The whole place exploded, but nothing could shake Gawain.
Peart knew that Gawain was ready to enter a state of total selflessness, and that this long ordeal might finally be about to see the light of day.
"Bah! Gawain!"
"Bah! Gawain!"
Listen, the call rang out again. It was not loud or grand. Especially after most of the audience left the scene, the sparse audience in the stands seemed a bit lonely, and these calls became even more weak.
However, just such a weak cry burst out with incredible power in the hunting wind, once again awakening the heat and heat of competitive sports.
Competition is closely related to victory and defeat, but it is not only related to victory and defeat. There are many, many, many things besides victory and defeat.
"time up."
The referee's voice came, interrupting the shouting at the scene. Amidst cheers and applause, the two players Gao Wen and Tsonga returned to the court and prepared to continue the game.
Next, Tsonga's serve.
Tsonga has not faced any challenge in serving for six consecutive games, not to mention break points, not even deuces.
But this time is different, because this is a service game where Tsonga has no retreat. Once the serve is broken, the whole game will come to an end here.
