For a short moment, my thoughts were completely blank. I just immersed myself in this moment and felt the energy with my soul.
On the court, it is no exception.
Federer didn't hold back and subconsciously turned to look at his players' box, where Mirka was watching the match. Although he didn't speak, his eyes showed a mixture of annoyance and anger. He was obviously dissatisfied with his performance just now.
Dissatisfied and sorry for missing the opportunity.
But I don’t know if the opportunity will arise again.
Gawain, on the other hand, calmed down, neither clenching his fists nor roaring. He stared at Federer intently and backed away slowly. He didn't need words or movements to feel that a high-spirited fighting spirit was burning from the inside out.
Directly reach the limit.
He has never given up and will not give up.
Anxious. Fierce. The bayonet is red.
The feeling of tension and excitement was even more turbulent and intense than in the second half of the first set, so much so that the O2 Arena was also a bit chaotic——
Logically, they should support Federer and pray for a decisive set, but looking at the scene in front of them, how can they not enjoy it?
"Fight!"
The audience in front of the TV did not have such troubles. The shouts and cheers rushed out of their throats. Even Gu Xiao, who had witnessed countless legendary battles on the spot, was no exception. He got carried away and roared at the TV screen like a madman, but he
Don't mind, completely immersed in it.
Shouting, shouting, the energy just penetrated the TV screen and returned to the O2 Arena.
Then, I heard someone shouting.
"Fight!"
One sentence is enough, and it can easily make the blood boil, and the heart that is beating wildly is about to burst. The excitement and excitement, the joy and happiness set off a storm in the brain, one after another, completely destroying the reason.
Completely become part of the game.
Who can not cheer for Gawain?
Let the excitement come more intensely, and more intensely.
Amidst the roar and excitement of the entire stadium, the two players have returned to the bottom line and are ready to continue fighting.
"40:40".
In this game, the outcome is undecided and the chances are equal.
a district.
One shot, off the net.
There was a low level of agitation at the scene. Some people felt sorry for Gawain's missed first serve, while others cheered for Federer's second serve chance, which was difficult to control.
Shh!
There was no need for the referee to remind him, the audience at the O2 Arena spontaneously reminded him, and the faint restlessness calmed down in an instant, without making any sound.
Second serve.
In fact, this is not surprising. Whether it is Federer or Gawain, the decline in first-serve success rate and first-serve quality are inevitable results.
Firstly, it is limited by one's own physical fitness, and secondly, due to the pressure and impact brought by the opponent, fluctuations in the quality of the serve are inevitable.
Naturally, a change of strategy is required.
How to use the first serve and how to adjust the second serve is a science.
Raising his head, Gao Wen glanced at Federer and without pausing or hesitating, he threw the ball on his second serve.
interior angle.
Speed 170 kilometers per hour.
It's not fast and doesn't spin. From the naked eye, it's just an ordinary flat serve. It lacks characteristics. Even if you want to comment, you can't say anything.
--Chance!
Federer stepped forward to receive the serve. For the second consecutive point, Federer began to attack from the receiving and serving stage, trying to compress the rhythm of the round as much as possible.
Backhand with one hand, open your chest, and move forward with all your strength.
But...wait.
Slowly and swayingly, the tennis ball couldn't fly over for a long time, so that Federer's shot movement was delayed but not released, and he waited and waited.
On one side, prepare to grab the rhythm.
On the other hand, it's late.
Then, when Federer realized that Gawain had hidden some frictional topspin, it was too late to adjust. This little bit of topspin was not obvious, but the bounce height was slightly higher than expected by half a hand——
The position of half the palm is not worth mentioning, because the hitting point is still within the racket, and can be covered by temporary adjustment.
But firstly, he took his time, and secondly, he deviated from the sweet spot. The two combined to form a dislocation; at the same time, Gawain also grasped a psychology. He knew that Federer was going to grab the serve, and he knew that Federer had just lost the shot.
Fen's mentality fluctuated, and he also knew that the situation was stalemate at this moment, so he quietly laid a landmine trap.
It doesn't need to be too obvious, just a little deviation.
It seems to be an ordinary to mediocre dish, and it is a second serve.
In fact, it requires patience and care, otherwise——
Bang.
Federer's one-handed backhand was shot too early, just a little too early, and then he didn't find the right sweet spot, and the shot was erratic.
The tennis ball went straight up and down, climbed to a high point, and then fell back to Federer's own half.
The serve is straight.
"AD:40".
Gawain's situation appeared.
He.
I didn't expect, I never expected, that in such a tight, stalemate, and fierce game, after a series of high-quality rounds that collided and sparked, there would be such a mistake, and it was such a simple second serve attack.
The scene was filled with exclamations of surprise.
Federer immediately realized that this shot was calculated by Gawain. From mentality to tactics to strategy, everything was considered perfect. Gawain once again showed his unparalleled tennis wisdom——
After all, they are all flesh and blood, and they all make mistakes and make mistakes.
Awesome, Gawain is indeed awesome, he still remains calm and rational in such a situation.
A straight serve, a simple and efficient way to score, helps you recover quickly amidst chaos and tension, and control the situation instantly.
This point is worth thousands of gold.
call!
Taking a long breath, Federer controlled his chaotic emotions, and when he reached the second area, he had already regained his composure.
Indeed, giants are not gods, they are flesh and blood, and they are ordinary people who make mistakes, fluctuations and mistakes; but a key factor that separates them from other players is how to get back on track after making mistakes.
Now, Federer needs to show his full fighting mode again. He needs his kingly style and his giant style.
Pa. Pa.
The sound of Gao Wen hitting the ball was not loud, but it echoed in the sky above the O2 Arena at this moment, and the atmosphere on the scene cut off all the noise.
——Toss the ball.
One shot, in.
Close to the backhand.
Speed 206 kilometers per hour.
Wha...what? At this time, under such circumstances, when the physical fitness of both players fluctuated significantly, which affected the quality of the serve!
Gawain, unexpectedly, once again fired a shot with a speed of over 200 kilometers per hour!
To be precise, this is a small fight.
In the previous point, Gao Wen created a trap with his second serve which reduced the force and concealed the spin, causing Federer to make a mistake in receiving the serve.
At this point, Gao Wen had an idea, instantly increased his speed, relied on speed and strength to suppress, and once again broke the balance of the confrontation starting from the serving link.
Federer obviously didn't expect that.
This is a fact.
But not expecting it does not mean that Federer was at ease. Federer was highly focused, opened his one-handed backhand, and relied on one-handed cutting to lightly push the shot back in a straight line, using his strength to push the tennis ball back.
