In the studio, both Zhan Jun and Hu Litao tried their best to suppress their excitement and excitement. They exchanged a hasty look and secretly suppressed their emotions.
On the court, the game continues without pause.
After Isner's two service points, there was another service point from Gawain.
Gawain had just finished celebrating, turned around, slowed down a little, deliberately returned to the baseline slowly, and then asked the caddy for a few more tennis balls to use this time to calm down.
He caught Isner off guard, but now Isner should be counterattacking, so he needs to be more careful and smarter in the next two service points.
Before serving, he needs to collect his thoughts.
First serve point.
In the second zone, Gauvin sneaked into an outside corner and targeted Isner's backhand.
Isner's reaction speed was a bit slow because he was focusing on his forehand. He thought that Gao Wen would continue to suppress his forehand position. If his reaction speed was a little slower, he would have missed the best hitting point, although the racket still successfully touched the ball.
The ball was hit, but the swing did not come around.
The tennis ball flew straight away.
"4:0".
Second serve point.
Gao Wen made a sneak attack again, this time in the middle. There was no angle at all, but his speed and power suppressed him. This was a flat serve.
In Gao Wen's serving game, he mainly focused on controlling the spin. At this time, he sneaked into the flat serve, and his speed suddenly increased, reaching 121 miles (195 kilometers) per hour, catching Isner off guard.
Because it was a chasing serve from the middle, Isner's body did not completely let go, but he barely managed to hit the ball. Then Gao Wen stepped up to the baseline and hit the ball back with a forehand. This time Isner
Snell guessed the direction and defended again, but the quality of the defense was hard to describe.
Gao Wen scored this point with a high-pressure ball.
"5:0".
Shocked! Shocked! Accident!
In the tie-break, Gao Wen's game quality instantly improved and broke the balance. Instead, his performance on the serving end was brilliant, pushing Isner to a desperate situation in an instant. This kind of tie-break is definitely something that no one has ever experienced.
An anticipated situation.
However, the point difference seems to be huge, but in reality it is not the case at all. It is just a difference between two serving points.
Not only did Isner not fluctuate, he calmed down, stood firm, and recovered one point through ACE.
Isner clenched his fists heavily, then turned around and roared at his team. It seemed that his suppressed emotions had finally found an outlet.
"5:1", the two sides exchange places.
In the tie-break, if the scores of both sides add up to six points or a multiple of six, the venue needs to be changed. Because most tennis courts are outdoor venues, it is necessary to ensure that the impact of sunlight and wind direction on both sides is the same.
When changing venues, players are allowed to return to the dugout to take a sip of water to wipe their sweat, but are not allowed to sit down and rest.
Both Gawain and Isner quickly drank water to replenish their energy and then returned to the venue.
ACE.
Isner still used his strongest weapon and recovered one point again, "5:2". This is Isner's normal performance, but then came Gawain's two service points. As long as the high
If Wen can win a point, then it's a count.
The moment has come to test the mental state of the players on both sides.
Pah. Pah. Pah.
Gao Wen was shooting the ball, adjusting his breathing, looked up at Isner's position, then lowered his head, getting ready to serve.
One shot, pursuit.
But this time the speed of the flat serve was not fully increased, and the squeeze on Isner was obviously weakened, so Isner's swing to get out of the way was also more complete.
However, the quality is still not high, and defensive touch is indeed not Isner's strong point.
Gao Wen quickly adjusted his steps and waited for the ball near the middle——
It has to be said that Isner is still experienced. In times of crisis, he will return the ball to the center first to avoid the opponent from opening the angle as much as possible.
So, how will Gao Wen choose the offensive line?
Tread.
Tread.
Gawain continued to adjust his body in small steps, but there was no sign of it at all from his body posture, and he couldn't even tell the difference between a forehand and a backhand.
Taking a sideways step towards the left, the forehand was already raised——
Foreground shot!
Isner immediately moved towards his forehand and habitually began to take care of his forehand. Then, he guessed right!
Gao Wen hit a small skateboard with his forehand. He did not increase the strength, but used the muscles of his wrist to complete the control and tear the angle as far as possible.
Damn it!
Isner has judged the right direction, but his steps are still a little slower.
The most cunning thing about Gawain is to use a small skateboard to hit the ball to increase side spin. After the tennis ball hits the ground, it will be thrown outwards, further widening the angle.
Footage is undoubtedly Isner's biggest shortcoming. I originally thought I could catch up, but in the end I had to take a big step forward again.
However, Isner did not give up easily this time because he knew that once he gave up the defense, the next step would be to take stock.
rush!
cross!
Isner's physical condition was not enough to perform the splits, and he was not Djokovic, but he still took a big step forward, and his body had stretched to the extreme within his capabilities.
The racket becomes an extension of the arm, driving everything down hard.
rub.
The tennis ball flew out in a full parabola, across the sky, and rushed towards the bottom line in a deep and turning direction.
There is actually no spin in Isner's shots. His returns are very flat and very fast. They often fly directly out of the baseline due to lack of spin. But this time, because his body lost balance, he was at the limit.
While catching the ball, the rotation unexpectedly increased during cutting.
In the end, a good defensive effect was achieved - not outstanding, but far beyond expectations.
The tennis ball returned to the middle again, and was only about one step away from the baseline. It suppressed Gao Wen's footsteps and did not allow Gao Wen to enter the midfield to hit the ball.
Isner didn't have time to be happy. He adjusted his steps in a panic, stood up immediately, turned around and rushed horizontally towards his backhand gap, because he had already seen Gawain complete the shot with a backhand with both hands.
For ordinary players, when returning the ball from the middle, they often habitually use their forehand to hit the ball. After all, the forehand is a more powerful shot, but Gao Wen is slightly different. He can hit the ball with both forehand and backhand.
, and the way of hitting the ball and the way of exerting force are slightly different, and the shape of the return ball will also change.
This time, Gao Wen took the initiative to adjust his steps, get out of the way, pull up the backhand with both hands early, and concentrate on aiming at the tennis ball. Then he raised his body to meet the ball, took a big step forward, and used the power of his body to drive the backhand swing.
With a clapping motion, the tennis ball is directly covered down as if it were splitting the Huashan Mountain.
boom!
Hit the ball with all your strength!
Without giving the tennis ball any time to spin and release, it has already used its strength unreasonably to suppress it, hit the ball hard, and continued to output its offense like a torrential river!
