The tennis ball struck head-on like a mighty storm, and the roaring waves of air tried to swallow up all obstacles in front of it.
Huh!
ah!
The Arthur Ashe Stadium was in a commotion, and a tough and tough momentum filled the entire stadium. More than half of the audience was already convinced that there was no suspense about the score.
Excited. Excited. Excited.
Vaguely, you can see the gophers scattered in the corners of the scene, ready to stand up and raise their arms and shout to celebrate the score. Some people even couldn't bear it and stood up directly. The rising and falling restlessness was like a flame.
Continuing to add firepower to the heatwave on site.
The strong winds, hunting, and the world were just like this swept into a turbulent mass.
Then.
Gawain, appears.
To be precise, Gawain's footsteps were on the forehand position and did not completely leave. Federer's overhead pressure still chose the diagonal line to press the forehand.
then.
No avoidance. No shrinking. No hesitation.
Gawain faced him head-on.
Kick your right leg, step on the ground, brake suddenly, support your body, layers of power wrap around your calf and jump up all the way, your body can't help but tremble slightly, just like a Super Saiyan transformation, the surging energy is all condensed together.
, and waiting for a moment of instant release.
Keep your eyes focused, look straight ahead, and keep an eye on the tennis ball.
coming.
A whirlwind.
This is completely different from normal hitting. It is more difficult but also stricter to grasp the hitting point, and there must be no deviation in concentration.
Be determined and attack.
There is nothing fancy, the simplest, most basic and basic forehand shot, the speed of the racket head is fully accelerated, and the forehand has already hit the front.
boom!
The solid and crisp sound of hitting the ball exploded instantly.
Tennis has completely disappeared.
——Hold your breath.
One second ago, those gorgeous sights followed Federer's high-pressure ball across the court and looked toward the end of the world, waiting for it to land and blossom.
The next second, he was pulled over the net by the counterattack of the tennis ball, but when he turned his head, he lost the trajectory of the tennis ball and fell into shock.
"Strength vs Power".
Gawain not only did not back down, but also stood firm.
The tennis ball, compressed to the extreme, almost disappeared and flew all the way along the sideline, creating a straight path and reaching the other side of the court.
It wasn't until the moment he landed that his eyes caught the mustard yellow bloom again.
within the bounds.
straight line.
Dead corner.
period.
A series of astonished faces, a pair of dull eyes looking slowly and stiffly at the half court where the tennis ball landed——
Federer started his body reflexively, but after taking two or three steps, he realized that he had lost his position before he could get it.
So, I stopped and watched the tennis ball get into the corner of the bottom line, unable to recover.
This point belongs to Gawain.
Federer lowered his head to adjust his breathing, and the expression on his face hidden in the shadows could not be clearly seen.
But the sanity inside Arthur Ashe Stadium has completely turned into mush.
"Take the lead, high."
The referee's voice announcing the score broke the tranquility of the scene. In the next second, you can hear the buzzing sound from zero to 100 and then further broke into a storm. Sighs and surprises, sighs and roars were all intertwined, just like a storm passing by.
, a bunch of noise surged in the eardrums.
In sharp contrast, both players were extremely calm on the court.
Not only Federer, but also Gawain did not cheer and celebrate. After confirming the score, he silently walked to the bottom line, adjusted his mind, and continued to prepare for the next point.
Because Gao Wen knew that the crisis was still not over. Unless the game point was fulfilled and the serve was guaranteed, Federer might still launch a counterattack at any time.
He needs to focus.
Take a deep breath, exhale long, and then Gawain is ready for the next point.
Second District.
Gawain raised his head and glanced at Federer. There was no sound in the entire Arthur Ashe Stadium——
Obviously, they don't want to anger Gawain anymore, otherwise the four points just now are the best response.
One shot.
T point.
The placement was precise, and Gawain chose an adventure at the game point.
Although the serve speed is only 176 kilometers per hour, the serve hits the T point accurately, making full use of the space in the service area.
Federer is a little embarrassed.
Flying, extending, forehand push block.
Federer tried his best to control his body and wrists, gritted his teeth, and seized on the shortcomings of slow serve in an attempt to improve the quality of his return.
However, the excellent serve quality still firmly restricted Federer's space to play, and he barely pushed a beat with his forehand.
Straight line. Middle road. Deep area.
Federer pushed the return ball as deep as possible and used the center placement to limit the path for Gauvin's second shot to connect with the attack.
Gawain was mentally prepared for this.
His right leg moved back to get out of the way, opening up space, but he took the initiative to move forward with his forehand. This was also the serve-receiving strategy adopted by Federer several times tonight, but it is now used by Gawain, but it has different characteristics.
Take the initiative to move forward with your forehand, use the strength of your wrist to throw it quickly, and exert force instantly.
Although the angle is not completely torn apart, the tail force of speed and power is thicker, suppressing it with the mass of the ball.
Backslash.
Backhand.
With different strength trajectories in the upper and lower body, Gao Wen also hit a difficult technical shot, pushing the tennis ball towards Federer's backhand position.
Federer's footsteps moved violently. He first went to receive the serve with his forehand, extending his body to the extreme; then he suddenly stopped and turned and rushed to the backhand position to meet the impact.
Although Federer had been mentally prepared and predicted that Gawain might choose this route, the bumps in his movements were still unavoidable.
The moment the backhand came forward, he immediately felt the strong collision of the tail force of the ball. Federer tried to open his chest and use strength to suppress and launch a counterattack, but his swing speed was obviously hindered, so that the speed of the racket head did not pick up. After pushing the ball back,
The effect was far lower than expected.
Oops!
Federer immediately sounded the alarm, paused, and rushed towards the completely cleared forehand gap. In name, he was trying to cover the forehand position, but in fact the entire court had been cleared, and Gawain only needed to push the tennis ball.
If he blocks it back, Federer will fall into a passive situation of saving the ball.
Tread.
Tread.
Federer was sprinting at high speed, but in his sight, he could see Gawain playing steadily and calmly, stuck in the backhand position, and striking out with a strong backhand with both hands.
He didn't wait for Federer to start at all. It can be seen from his swing that Gao Wen was grabbing the rising point and seemed to be preparing to hit a straight line. This also made Federer's movement more determined, but he had not yet taken a step.
Wen already compressed the rhythm and took action without hesitation.
Kick off the ground, turn around, shoot, strike——
straight line?
No, slash.
Turn back.
Repeat the drop point.
Strong enough, neat enough, straightforward enough, with the sword in hand and down, what matters is the timing and rhythm.
The tennis ball just slipped into the gap behind Federer and disappeared before he could even blink.
The score belongs to Gawain.
From falling behind at "0:40" to scoring five consecutive points to turn the situation around and secure serve, the ever-changing nature of tennis once again demonstrates the charm of competitive sports in another form.
Everyone in the audience felt a roar in their minds.
"5:4", Gao Wen continued to maintain the lead and put all the pressure on Federer.
