Kyrgios caught up, but his pace was still a little slower, because Gawain's backhand straight-line fight was so good, the angle and landing point were perfect. Even if Kyrgios caught up, the hitting position was still slightly worse.
However, under extreme conditions, Kyrgios' violent forehand came out again, an unreasonable whip-swinging shot, a powerful swing of the arm in a large loop, and the power of the forearm was instantly released, just like this.
The tennis ball was knocked out.
Diagonal line, diagonal line.
Tap tap tap!
Gawain also caught up, because Kyrgios had almost no room to hit the straight line again when his body lost its position——
Although Kyrgios moves quickly, he mainly relies on his body's explosive talent. As far as footwork is concerned, his training is far from enough.
This also means that slash is the only option.
Kick! Brake!
Stomping hard with the right foot, the forehand was already set up early, and then along with the inertia of the body's forward movement, it transformed into hitting power, and the forehand was met with dignity.
"Strength vs Power"!
Gawain did not avoid Kyrgios' sharp edge at all, making full use of the weight of his body and the inertia of his run-up as support. Then at the moment when the ball was released, his wrist was very soft and very clever in pushing and closing, and after the ball was released,
Continue to complete the swing and make a big loop around your head.
boom!
Accompanied by the crisp and solid sound of hitting the ball, Arthur Ashe Stadium let out a low exclamation——
Change the line!
Gawain actually changed his line again!
And with Kyrgios exerting such tremendous pressure on his forehand, Gawain changed his line for the second consecutive shot!
Not only bold! But tough!
Huh!
Surprise could be clearly heard at the scene, but then there was only the sound of hunting wind, and all eyes were focused on the flight path of the tennis ball.
Whoosh.
Whoosh.
At this time, Gawain could clearly feel through his own touch that Kyrgios's steps were not firm just now, and his forehand power was still affected and not full enough. Relatively speaking, Gawain's steps were already firm, and the entire line change was
The stronger you are, the more complete and full you will be.
But despite this, Gao Wen's line change was still not sufficient. It was obviously a lot worse than the straight line of the previous backhand shot. At the last moment, before the racket head speed of closing the door had time to pick up, the tennis ball had already flown out, so the line change was
The line did not meet Gawain's expectations.
To put it simply, the straight line is not straightened.
In tennis, there is still a long distance from the sideline, basically close to the center.
However, this is enough.
boom!
The tennis ball hit the ground hard and bounced off the ground, low and flat, leaving little room for maneuver. Then Kyrgios had no time to return to his defensive position.
The final word!
Score!
Wow!
The whole place is excited!
In this round, there were actually only five shots, but the two players hit the ball hard, and the tension of the strong confrontation was so charming that it made the heart burst.
Especially when Gawain faced the count, he was brave enough and decisive enough to hit the ball, which made the audience hooked. This kind of game is really fascinating.
For the first time, Gawain raised his right fist, clenched it tightly, and resolutely showed his strength to Kyrgios. His bright eyes shone brightly, and he was not nervous about facing the count at all, but instead
Completely release energy.
The air is burning.
"6:4".
Next is Gao Wen's serving point.
Pah. Pah. Pah.
Gawain was shooting the ball, and he quickly glanced at Kyrgios' position with his peripheral vision, and then made up his mind.
Kick off the ground! Bend your knees! Turn! Swing!
Hit the ball.
In the first area, the backhand serve is pressed closely.
For the second consecutive serve, Gawain chose to serve from close range, but this time it was slightly different. The entire landing point was aimed at Kyrgios's stance, and the spin after the rebound was directed towards the backhand.
Kyrgios was obviously a little surprised. His footsteps were already moving towards his backhand. Judging from the prediction, Gawain should choose to suppress his backhand, but in the end he actually chose to serve from close for the second time in a row. This made
Kyrgios was caught off guard.
During the movement of his feet, he reluctantly adjusted his body, trying to get out of the way to complete the swing.
But this time the tennis ball burrowed into Kyrgios' body like a long eye, and Kyrgios was still unable to get out of the way.
state.
The tennis ball hit Kyrgios' body directly——
Gawain scores.
According to the rules of tennis, if the player's body touches the tennis ball instead of the racket during the hitting process, then even if the hit fails, even if the tennis ball is 100% sure to be out of bounds, the player can't avoid hitting the tennis ball.
The same is true.
Gawain aimed to serve from close range, but he did not expect that Kyrgios did not get out of the way and hit Kyrgios directly. He quickly raised his hand to apologize to Kyrgios. This was obviously not intentional.
Kyrgios ignored Gawain's apology gesture and walked towards the other side angrily, muttering in his mouth. His dissatisfaction and protest were conveyed all over his body, but he didn't know if he was
Just curse Gawain.
Gawain pursed his lips and showed a helpless smile. Without saying anything more, he turned around and prepared for the next shot.
"6:5".
Gawain saved two consecutive set points, but then came Kyrgios's service point, which was the third set point.
Kyrgios did not seem to be affected. After arriving in the second zone, he was immediately ready to serve. No matter what, as long as he masters the serve, he will take the initiative. Currently, Kyrgios still firmly holds the lead in the tie-break of the third set.
.
Pah. Pah.
Kyrgios served the ball directly without even observing Gawain's position.
Inside corner, forehand.
This is the biggest difference between Kyrgios and Isner. Isner often does not widen his serve angle and relies on strength and speed to suppress his opponents; while Kyrgios often likes to pursue wide angles and does not serve at critical moments.
Exception, don't worry about the potential of going out of bounds at all.
This time, Kyrgios chose to suppress Gawain's unstable forehand.
Speed 128 miles per hour (206 kilometers per hour).
ah!
Gawain was a little embarrassed. Although he guessed the direction of Kyrgios's serve correctly, his unstable forehand often served as a breakthrough for Kyrgios. However, Kyrgios' serve must have speed and angle. Even if
Gawain moved a beat ahead of time, leaving very little room for swinging.
bass.
Gawain didn't have any swing movement at all, he just barely blocked the ball with his racket, hoping that the return ball could return to Kyrgios' court.
Whoosh!
The tennis ball drew an incomplete parabola and flew towards the center area on the other side of the court at high speed.
What was unexpected but reasonable was that Gawain's block failed to pull up the parabola, but the return line was very short and basically fell within Kyrgios's service area.
