From the "2:1" lead at the start, to "2:6", "0:4" behind by a big score, losing nine games in a row, the game completely showed a one-sided disadvantage.
Such a scene, such a situation, is so familiar. It was five months apart from Miami to New York, but it seemed like I was seeing the same game.
So, is this the game?
"Highest Consumption", is it going to continue its fine tradition?
……No way?
Zverev Jr., the "genius" praised highly by the media, including himself, also thinks highly of himself, vaguely claiming to be the next world number one and the next world champion.
The result, is this?
For ordinary viewers, they do not pay attention to tennis events all the time. Naturally, they do not know Zverev’s performance in other events. Their eyes are all focused on the Grand Slam arena, now at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Seeing such a game, it's really hard to hide my disappointment.
But, it shouldn’t be, right?
The so-called "maximum consumption" sounds very exciting, but as long as the audience has any basic understanding of tennis, they will know that this is more like a joke.
Not to mention young geniuses like Zverev, very few of the top 300 players in the world would find themselves in such a predicament.
Cheerful and comfortable.
"1:5".
From the perspective of tactical layout, this is unstructured and purely returns to the way of playing in teenagers; but from the perspective of tactical response, this is correct. Focus on the game first and then slowly find ways to deal with it.
Tenacity forms a confrontation to avoid total disarmament.
ah!
Ahhhh!
Zverev Jr. released fully without reservation.
For neutral fans, their only wish is to watch more games and watch more exciting rounds. A one-sided game is really not worth the ticket price.
Putting aside subjective likes and dislikes, objectively speaking, Zverev's talent and strength are real. Although he is not mature enough yet, his abilities are already there.
finally!
On the other side of the court, Gawain remained unmoved.
until now--
The hair guarantee was successful.
However, at the critical moment, Gao Wen once again showed his excellent layout and game ability on the bottom line.
Not only in this game, but also in all the three times the two met, that mixed feeling was finally broken, as if it had been lurking under the water for a long time, and just when it was about to faint from lack of oxygen, it surfaced, and the fresh oxygen was like
A storm surged into my chest.
Everything means that next, Zverev will be very dangerous and launch a comprehensive counterattack.
Following the third game of the first set, Zverev finally held serve again, not only ending his nine-game losing streak, but also breaking the "maximum consumption" curse.
"1:4".
Although Gawain has no interest in "maximum consumption", it can be seen from Zverev's reaction that the label is indeed a shackles.
Therefore, they always support the weak unconditionally. Now that Zverev has finally stopped losing consecutive games, it can be considered good news.
Significant.
As Gawain's return ball hit the net, little Zverev could no longer control himself. He clenched his fists, looked up to the sky and screamed passionately——
A breakthrough is also a feat.
This is also the first time since the two players have met three times that Zverev has won three games in one set.
Despite the impact, Gao Wen was still superior and once again showed his control over the game.
Frustrated, depressed, confused, trapped.
Little Zverev needed this moment and this kind of catharsis. He roared angrily as if he had won the whole game.
Returning to the players' rest area, Gao Wen replenished water and energy step by step, and his brain began to work at high speed——
Now, little Zverev has finally broken free from the shackles, which also means that his morale and state have been raised to a whole new level. Without the constraints of psychological pressure, the game state should enter a small peak, and the concentration and investment can also be comprehensively improved.
A sneak attack released a small ball, which moved Zverev to the front of the net. At the same time, he used a two-handed backhand to break through the net in a straight line and get the fourth break point.
From the very beginning, Gao Wen did not believe that "highest consumption" could be replicated successfully; this has never been and will not be Gao Wen's goal in this game.
——"40:30".
Facts prove this.
the answer is negative.
Zverev, who was recovering and showing an upward momentum, missed a game point, but also saved three break points, and became entangled again.
Previously, Gao Wen had not reached the net many times in the entire game, but in this game, the confrontation in front of the net increased without warning, completely disrupting Zverev's prediction, and at the bottom line
Before the tug-of-war reached a stalemate, Gawain had already taken the lead to break the deadlock.
At the first game point, the two players experienced a 25-shot round of entanglement. Finally, Gao Wen won the winning point with his iconic backhand straight backhand shot.
Is little Zverev really that vulnerable?
At this moment, when the audience who had just turned on the TV saw this scene, they probably thought that Zverev had won the game, but when they looked at the scoreboard, question marks popped up one after another, which was difficult to understand.
After returning the ball to the net, Gao Wen looked down at his steps and found that his knee squat was still lacking, and his entire backhand swing was still not sufficient and needed attention.
Although he lost nine games in a row, Zverev still did not give up. His pride was completely aroused, and he burst out with incredible fighting spirit and belief. He was always fighting and always dealing with the bottom line. Perhaps most of the time, the bottom line was going back and forth.
He was struggling to hit the ball, but he didn't give up and refused to surrender.
One time, it was a forehand diagonal "inside-out" attack combined with the net, relying on the high-pressure ball in front of the net to end the point, cashing in on the break point and taking stock.
Stumbling along, Zverev gritted his teeth and maintained the game.
Snapped.
——"40:40".
Gao Wen clearly knows Zverev's ability to deal with the bottom line. If he wants to avoid being dragged into the tangled whirlpool by Zverev, he needs to improve his condition and contain it in time.
Sustain Zverev's momentum and win the second set as soon as possible.
To say it, it is indeed a bit unbelievable. Over time, it even became a shackles like an inner demon, so that Zverev began to have self-doubt. Even if he got the game point in his own service game, he subconsciously began to be cautious and try to
Efforts often backfire.
Sure enough, after returning to the game, Zverev's active mistakes began to decrease, and the quality of baseline returns also slowly improved, but Gao Wen still responded calmly.
Immediately afterwards, in Zverev's serve game, Gao Wen, who had been far ahead in this set and maintained the advantage, unexpectedly launched an offensive.
Arthur Ashe Stadium was very honorable, with applause and cheers surging bustling——
Lift your weight with ease and control the whole scene.
Before little Zverev could catch his breath, the balance of this round had been broken again, pushing little Zverev into the abyss with all his might.
"1:6".
Gao Wen, in the next set, he leads with a big score of "2:0".
