Ups and downs, twists and turns, hearty and hearty——
When the third set ended, people inside and outside the Arthur Ashe Stadium sighed uncontrollably. The scalp-numbing pleasure was crazy:
Now, the game should return to the familiar Gawain mode. The God of War returns, takes the initiative, rushes to the finish line in one go, and reaps victory.
However, they still think of competitive sports simply. After thinking about it, it seems that there is no suspense and it will happen naturally. But the real charm of competitive sports is that even if the probability of victory is already 99.99%, before the end of the game, everything will happen.
All are possible.
Bellucic proved with practical actions that he is not just a foil or a footnote. Like Gawain, he also has his own battles.
From "1:1" all the way to "5:5", the fourth set between Gao Wen and Belucic was always in a stalemate. Neither player was able to open up the situation despite their declining physical fitness. Belucic's stability
Playing an important role, just holding on to the score and continuing the confrontation all the way, he performed well.
In the tenth game, Bellucic scored four straight points in a "love-game" to hold the serve. He withstood the huge pressure and neatly kept his serve with no way out. His steady performance successfully won a piece of Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Applause, many Brazilian fans roared in support of football.
Then.
The intensity of the game is rising steadily, and the high temperature and scorching heat under the scorching sun play an important role. It is not only a severe test for the players, but also for the audience.
Game 11.
Bellucic continued to exert pressure and got a break point in Gao Wen's serve. However, at the critical moment, Gao Wen once again showed his big heart and seized his second game point to secure serve in a thrilling manner.
Withstand Bellucic's impact and defend the defense despite severe physical exertion.
"6:5".
The pressure was once again put on Bellusic, who had to face his second service game with no way out, and the atmosphere at the scene became further anxious.
"30:30".
This time, Bellucic really felt the pressure. It was completely different from the tenth game. The quality of Gawain's batting was obviously improved to a higher level——
Heat wave, turbulent.
This made Bellucic couldn't help but suspect that in the first few games, Gawain was accumulating strength, keeping his energy and stamina in his own serve game to prepare for the tie-break, until Gawain himself kept serving continuously and became invincible.
He only started to attack when he was in the fourth set and improved his condition at the end of the fourth set.
Immediately afterwards, the ominous premonition came true.
"30:40".
In the outer corner of the first area, Gao Wen hit a forehand straight back serve with an ace and hit it back. The crisp score did not give Bellucic a chance at all.
,Appeared.
Bellucic's heart began to beat wildly. If he said he wasn't nervous, it would be a lie, but he still had to control himself.
Second District.
It’s District 2 again.
Generally speaking, the first zone is also called the "deuce zone" and the second zone is called the "leading zone". That is to say, in the second zone, it is either game point or break point. Players' performance on this side is often
More importantly, most of the time, a match ends in the second zone.
Now, the test once again falls to Bellucic.
Zone 2, continue to the outer corner?
No.
interior angle.
Bellucic played a trick.
In fact, on the last point in the first zone, Belucic chose the outside corner to press Gao Wen's forehand, but Gao Wen slapped the serve back to the ACE to form a direct winning point. Logically speaking, he should avoid Gao Wen's forehand;
Coupled with the advantage of the outside corner in the second zone, everyone speculated that Bellusic would not choose the inside corner.
However, Bellucic chose the inside corner.
Moreover, deceleration, topspin, and precise placement can be seen from the serve. Bellusic has already rehearsed this tactic in his mind.
The first shot with a speed of 170 kilometers per hour is slow, very, very slow, but it spins strongly with side spin. After falling next to the T point, it turns outward to the right.
Bellucic showed off all his clay skills without reservation——
Give up? Surrender? Compromise?
No.
of course not.
Bellucic is still fighting.
With this serve, there was no doubt that Gawain had been calculated. Bellucic could see Gawain flying into the air, his body losing its center of gravity, and his forehand was awkwardly placed above the shoulder, and he hit it with great reluctance.
, the general knocked the ball, and the tennis ball flew back unsteadily.
There's no spin, no power, and no control.
Bellucic was extremely focused, adjusting in small steps continuously, switching to his forehand, kicking off the ground, turning, and attacking, all in one go, aiming for the blind spot on the bottom line.
Of course, the topspin still carries topspin. This is the way Bellucic is accustomed to hitting the ball, and he is not prepared to change it; but this time, the placement is required to be more accurate.
Bellucic aimed at Gawain's backhand and made a big triangle attack from the bottom line, which turned and went deep.
Although Gao Wen successfully moved into position, the hitting space was completely squeezed, and he barely managed to return a shot with both hands in a hasty backhand, but it still lacked quality.
Bellucic firmly grasped the advantage established by serving, continuously adjusted small steps, looked for the most accurate hitting space, and struck again with his forehand.
Backslash.
This time, he aimed at Gao Wen's forehand baseline hammer with a big triangle hammer, creating a maneuver at two large angles on the left and right, making full use of the horizontal space on the court.
Tread, tap, tap.
Bellucic took the initiative completely, adjusting in small steps continuously, with light steps and a stable center of gravity, firmly locking Gao Wen's figure. He watched Gao Wen cross the court again, fully stretched his body, and extended his forehand to the extreme.
In an extremely passive situation, I caught a shot with my forehand and the belt.
The opportunity is still with Bellucic.
Bellucic watched the flight trajectory of the tennis ball, along the diagonal line, rising high, with strong topspin, and hitting the big triangle on the bottom line on his right side.
However, Gawain still lacked some control in a passive situation. He did not fully enter the big triangle, so he failed to meet expectations and lacked some pressure.
Bellucic arrived early and struck out smoothly with his two-hand backhand without any hindrance. Although he could still feel some pressure, it was not a big problem. Bellucic made a straight line with his two-hand backhand and attacked for the third consecutive time.
Mobilizing Gao Wen to work hard at both ends of the bottom line.
In a straight line and in a blind corner, Bellucic's shots were still very decisive.
However, in order to be safer this time, Bellucic did not aim at the blind spot to attack. After hitting the ball, his feet immediately moved to the left, quickly seizing the position and holding on to his offensive advantage.
In his sight, Bellucic could see that Gawain was moving very fast, and he was already in place smoothly in a blink of an eye. Although the situation was still not reversed, Gawain's shot was very resolute and decisive, and his backhand with both hands followed the inertia of the forward motion.
, using the force of the ball to hit a diagonal shot across the court.
"Inside-out" slash shot——
When everyone is familiar with Gauvin's famous straight backhand stunt, they inadvertently overlook that since the clay court and grass court seasons, Gauvin's backhand slash has become more and more penetrating, which is also a strong point compared to Djokovic.
Part of the strength increased after the strong collision, and now the epee attacks again.
Pressure, pressure, pressure...layers upon layers of pressure were coming towards Belucic.
