Zhan Jun tried to keep calm, but it was too difficult, too difficult, too difficult. The shock and trembling rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, but he still couldn't stop. His scalp was numb, as if electric current was rushing through his blood vessels, and he could not control it.
He started to tremble, and his mind went completely blank.
incredible.
Unbelievable.
"On the second set point, Gauvin pushed Federer to the extreme with two extreme split slides, just like Monfils, he jumped to the top twice in a row. However, Gauvin still relied on a left-handed shot in front of the net.
Find the opening by hitting the ball, score the winning point, and win the battle of Tianwang Mountain."
"I……"
"Incredible. The two players Federer and Gawain pushed tennis to a new level. The aftertaste of shock and impact will not dissipate for a long time, and the entire Arthur Ashe Stadium fell into a frenzy."
"Gawain, well... Gawain stepped onto the Arthur Ashe Stadium again after a year, and proved with his unparalleled performance that he is definitely more than just a dark horse."
As he spoke, Zhan Jun paused slightly, he needed to control himself——
Including themselves, no one could foresee Gao Wen's performance at this year's US Open. Gao Wen once again proved their narrow-mindedness with practical actions, and at the same time proved the charm of competitive sports.
Hu Litao can understand, 100% understand.
He himself couldn't help but take a deep breath to control his emotions.
"Whether he wins or loses, after this game, Gao Wen has proven himself. He is not just a rising star, a challenger. He already has all the conditions to become a giant, and is becoming a giant."
"not to mention……"
"Now the initiative in the game has come to Gawain. Federer, there is no retreat."
After saying this, Hu Litao himself was stunned, and turned to look at Zhan Jun. The two people quickly exchanged glances, and their eyes collided -
They were still thinking that Federer might win in four sets, and Gauvin would need to drag the game into a deciding set to reverse the situation and gain a slight upper hand.
But now, just like Wimbledon, after three sets, Gawain leads with a huge score of "2:1".
Next, Federer stood on the edge of the cliff.
This is tennis and a competitive sport. Everything is possible and all predictions may be overturned in the actual game.
Listen to the voice of Arthur Ashe -
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
With one sound and another sound, all the bustling figures stood up, turned their palms into fists, beat their chests hard and hit their hearts, feeling the power of the heartbeat.
Bang, bang, bang!
At this moment, they also temporarily forgot Federer's home court advantage, applauding tennis and cheering for competition.
Who can refuse such a game and such a moment?
Watching Gawain fighting passionately and bloodyly in the center of the court, the beating of his heart broke free from the restraints and released unparalleled energy.
They need to vent, otherwise their chests may explode like this.
"Fight!"
Filling the entire stadium, Arthur Ashe Stadium completely transformed into a carnival scene. The neat shouts broke all boundaries between fans. Nationality, gender, age, camp, etc. were no longer important.
Feel it, immerse it, experience it, and then celebrate it.
The hoarse roaring waves made the night gorgeous.
until--
"6:4", "4:6", "6:7(5)".
The audience noticed the numbers on the scoreboard and realized at this time that Federer was lagging behind. Federer, who had not lost a set during the entire North American summer hard court season, had now lost two sets in a row and was pushed to the edge of the cliff in an instant. Next,
In the fourth set, he had to fight his last to win a chance of survival.
Then, the fans finally woke up.
Needless to say, Federer's fans naturally expect Federer to counterattack strongly and, like Wimbledon, reverse the final outcome. If the Swiss King can complete it once, he can do it again. The fans will stand behind Federer without hesitation.
Provide strong support.
Neutral fans are no exception. The first set is very exciting, the second set is very beautiful, and the third set is very enjoyable, but they are still not satisfied. How can such an exciting game end so quickly? They are still looking forward to the deciding set.
The peak showdown, that is the real climax——
A great game needs a grand ending.
Then, the voices gathered again.
"Bah! Roger!"
"Bah! Roger!"
Vast and turbulent, Arthur Ashe Stadium trembled.
Not only inside the stadium, but also outside the stadium. There is even an illusion that the bustling crowd at the entrance of the stadium is incredibly increasing.
The night was already deep, it was past midnight, and in the cold wind, you could even faintly see the mist coming out of your mouth.
The previous four-hour epic collision was already worth the price of admission, but who would have thought that this Huashan sword debate would last for two and a half hours in the blink of an eye.
However, the fans remained tireless, cheering and shouting, applauding and whistling, sweeping the entire venue.
When the live camera was focused on the huge and dense crowd outside the stadium, New York citizens raised their glasses of beer in celebration.
"Roar!"
The momentum is overwhelming.
This carnival, the fierce battle is in full swing, and the night is just right.
Then.
Both players came on the stage, the short break between sets ended, and the fourth set slowly kicked off.
In the fourth set, Gao Wen took the lead in serving.
The point is, the two players have just experienced a thrilling tie-break with ups and downs. Next, how should they adjust their layout?
In the tie-break, both Gawain and Federer had some problems with their serves and became the targets of their opponents' attacks. Does this mean that the fourth set may become a break-serve battle? Or, in other words, they will be on their own.
What about being the first to make adjustments in the serving game?
With suspense, Gawain served.
The battle situation is a bit interesting——
In Gawain's service game, Federer began to try to fight, that is, without entanglement, after a little layout, he directly attacked with a killer. If it succeeded, it would be a winning point. If it failed, it would not consume physical energy.
Gao Wen was not affected. Instead, he repeatedly used cutting and topspin to control the rhythm. The strong collision in the third set was very obvious in terms of physical and energy consumption. Naturally, the layout needed to be reorganized in the fourth set.
Both players made some adjustments at the tactical level. Although the start was not tit-for-tat, there was an undercurrent of tension.
Subsequently, in Federer's serve game, Gao Wen began to play around with the ball. In Djokovic's way, he extended the round as much as possible and laid out his strategy of consuming Federer.
Federer increases the number of times he goes to the net, compresses the number of rounds as much as possible, ends the round in a simpler and more efficient way, and distributes physical energy more wisely.
The back and forth between the two players is also very interesting. It is not a tit-for-tat confrontation, but a secret entanglement like a Tai Chi pusher.
McEnroe's words are the best summary.
"In fact, now is the real moment to test the players. How to delay the game and how to control the game when their physical fitness and energy cannot keep up. It is also a moment to test the players' background. The two players in front of them are hiding their own secrets.
When technology is revealed, we enter a new confrontation."
