His breath was burning, and his whole lungs seemed to be on fire. Gawain, who was sweating profusely, looked a little embarrassed.
Kokkinakis on the other side of the court was also out of breath and his chest was heaving violently, but he still raised his clenched right fist high and looked over with bright eyes, silently celebrating his victory.
"Split equally."
The referee called the score and announced that this ultra-long round of 35 shots ended with Kokkinakis' score, saving the break point for the third time.
Roar!
In an instant, the entire Court No. 3 was boiling with cheers, screams, and roars, and even the sunshine became inferior.
Stadium No. 3, which can accommodate 500 spectators, is already full at this time. The whole stadium is packed with red-faced and cheering spectators. Everyone is forgetting to vent their emotions, but they are not supporting any side of the game, but looking forward to the game.
A little more intense.
Ahhhh!
Ahhhh!
Earth-shattering shouts were hovering over the small town. At this time, matches were also being played on Court No. 1 and Court No. 2, but the atmosphere was completely suppressed. Passers-by coming and going all noticed the bustle of people on Court No. 3, as if to the naked eye.
You can see the magma that is constantly burning and boiling, and your curiosity can't help but be aroused.
boom!
The whole audience went crazy!
On the court, the two players who had just completed a long round looked like they had been fished out of the water, dripping with sweat and their hair was wet.
Both Gawain and Kokkinakis have entered an anaerobic state as they continue to run back and forth. After this point is over, they now need a moment to adjust. The burning sensation in their muscles and lungs in the hot summer
Completely ignited, it's as if you can feel an active volcano erupting.
The two people stared at each other without giving an inch. Although their breathing was disordered, their eyes refused to give in, and the tense tension was still emitting sparks.
What's more, not only this point, but also Kokkinakis's service game has been going back and forth for more than 11 minutes.
Gao Wen got three break points, but all of them were saved by Kokkinakis with a stronger and better performance at the critical moment, and he got back to the same starting line.
This is the third time it has been tied.
However, Kokkinakis was never able to get the game point in his service game, so the crisis has not been resolved and the situation is still not good for him.
Both Kokkinakis and Gao Wen have realized that this game is another turning point in the whole game. No one is willing to give in. Looking at the whole game and looking at the scoreboard at this time, you can understand why the two players are working so hard.
, no one was willing to give up even after thirty-five rounds.
"6:2", "5:3", 1:27.
The number in the front is the score, with Kokkinakis in front and Gawain in the back; the number in the back is the game time.
Audiences watching tennis matches should know that from the score point of view, it seems to be one-sided and very disparate. The match time should be shorter; but the match time is already close to ninety minutes, which means that every game is very tangled.
Moreover, the style of the game also needs to be taken into consideration. If it is "Gawain VS Saramento", then it is not surprising that the game takes a long time, but Kokkinakis is not the type who is good at defense, and the rhythm of the game is often short.
Frequently.
From this point of view, the competition time more and more reflects the intensity of the duel.
This is also true.
There is no doubt that Kokkinakis is the most powerful opponent that Gao Wen has encountered so far. Including Saramento, Giron, Hanfman, etc., everyone is not on the same level as Kokkinakis.
of.
What does it mean to be ranked in the top 300 in the world? What is the level of a professional player? It finally became real and taught Gawain a good lesson.
At the beginning of the game, Kokkinakis was on full fire.
First of all, the speed is fast enough, the power is big enough, and the tail power is enough.
Kokkinakis is a typical hard-court baseline player. He mainly hits the ball with the ball, which is powerful and heavy. The attachment effect of the instant explosive power is heavy and heavy. Moreover, the flight trajectory of the tennis ball is very flat. Naturally, the speed of flying in the air
It is extremely fast and has a fierce momentum.
Comparable to the game against Webb in the National Championship Game.
In other words, Kokkinakis is not afraid of Gao Wen's return. He is often able to use his strength to suppress the rotation and changes, and then changes the return line or the hitting method with less pressure, which also makes him
More line combinations, speeding up or changing lines can suppress Gawain.
Moreover, Kokkinakis does not need to fight because his ability is there, so his hitting success rate is more stable and more effective than Webb's.
Gawain was very embarrassed.
Secondly, the pace is fast enough.
As mentioned before, Gawain's batting rhythm is his strength, and the connection between rackets is particularly fast. He can often restrict his opponents through changes in rhythm, but Kokkinakis is no less good.
It is very possible that Gawain's batting has just returned, and Kokkinakis's next shot has already completed the connection. Even if the line selection is not innovative, it does not matter, because the connection speed is fast enough and the reaction time is fast enough, which compresses Gawain.
The defensive reaction time and defensive quality rate will also decrease.
You have to have speed, you have to have power, you have to have rhythm and rhythm. Just relying on the quality of the ball can create suppression, like a storm.
Finally, the stability lasts longer.
Like Weber, or Thompson, or Domyan, the duration of hitting the ball with full force is often not long.
The simplest reason is that high-intensity confrontation requires a lot of physical strength and energy. It is difficult for any player to maintain his most efficient hitting ability throughout the game, not even the Big Four, so a tennis match is a kind of game.
, how to use your best form at the right time to win.
Young players often cannot move freely and have insufficient adjustment ability, so they just rush forward.
At this point, there is actually no difference between Kokkinakis and players such as Thompson, Domyan, Webber, etc., but the point is that Kokkinakis has more outstanding abilities and significantly stronger endurance.
When playing against Weber in the U.S. Championship, in the second half of the first set, Weber's game quality dropped significantly, which allowed Gauvin to gain breathing space and then slowly turn the game around.
However, Kokkinakis continued until the second half of the second set, which was the end of the game, and did not see any obvious weakness.
The reason is that on the one hand, the pressure brought by Gawain to Kokkinakis is not enough, so the consumption is naturally relatively slow; on the other hand, Kokkinakis' own ability is sufficient, and his ability to maintain speed and strength is stronger.
As a result, the whole situation became very, very difficult for Gawain.
To be precise, it was very difficult from the first point, and the intensity was always above the level. The initiative in the game was never on Gawain's side.
