Louis Armstrong Stadium was bustling with activity. From the huge crowds during the inter-inning break to the cheering and cheering during the inter-inning break, it was laid out in a grand manner. Obviously, the audience was finally happy and satisfied——
A wonderful and powerful showdown is taking place.
Stan Wawrinka's fans came up with a special cheering slogan for him, using the homophony of "Stand-The-Man" to express that Stan is an upright strong man who refuses to compromise or admit defeat. Later, Wawrinka won
As an official endorsement, I printed this slogan on the outside of my golf bag.
Later, Chinese fans also affectionately called "Stan" "Four Eggs" because of the homophony of this slogan, earning Wawrinka a nickname.
At this moment, Wawrinka's fans clearly had the advantage, and the cheers that filled the entire stadium were exciting. They easily suppressed the fledgling Gao Wen, but how could the Chinese fans give up so easily? Even in the stormy sea, they remained firm.
Keep making your voice heard.
The air above the stadium is burning.
After the final set score was "4:4", Wawrinka's serve came, and the score gap had been widened early. "40:0" got three consecutive game points, and only needed one more point. In the final set,
Wawrinka, who had the advantage of serving first, was able to lead "5:4", which also meant that the next service game was one that Gawain had to protect, and the pressure increased sharply.
Almost everyone thinks that Wawrinka's serve is 100% sure, and that the "love-game" has a high chance of holding serve. Even the commentators have begun to analyze the pressure that Gawain may face in the next serve. For this young player,
Say, Grand Slam, deciding set factors may create more difficult situations.
In the player's box, Sampras and Agassi also exchanged a look, somewhat nostalgic for the years when they had stood on the court and endured the test, but when they were sitting in the stands watching the game, they were obviously much more nervous, even if the two
The players have a total of 21 Grand Slam trophies. Faced with such a situation, my heart will probably beat faster.
There are various signs that the deciding set is heading towards a tie-break, but there is only one exception:
Gawain.
Even if the opponent's service game was "0:40", Gao Wen did not give up. After all, he did not have the capital to give up. Standing in front of a master of Wawrinka's level, he had to fight for the opportunity even if he had no chance. This was his hard work to give him some hope of victory.
the only way.
In this game, Wawrinka's serving was very stable. The first three points were all served once. He established an advantage through the first serve. The follow-up attacks were very closely connected and skillful, and he really did not give Gawain too many opportunities.
However, probably because he had three game points, Wawrinka became a little looser and made a second serve.
Gao Wen keenly seized the opportunity and grabbed an ascending point, solidly suppressing Wawrinka's backhand attack opportunity, and then followed up with a straight forehand shot to win the point neatly.
"15:40".
Then, Wawrinka's own forehand hit the net when he should not have done so. The main reason was that Gawain's excellent mobility forced Wawrinka to have a higher quality attack. He wanted to speed up and hit the ball a little earlier.
, and then a very easy forehand attack hit the net.
"30:40".
In the blink of an eye, the score became tense and changed rapidly.
At the third game point, Wawrinka and Gawain formed a stalemate. During the round, Wawrinka took the initiative to attack for two shots. As a result, because the angle was not completely separated, Gawain continuously defended him, and then Wawrinka made a backhand.
When trying to catch the ball, the instability of the swing trajectory is exposed, and the shot hits the racket frame directly.
Huh!
The whole audience gasped.
"oh!"
Even the commentators were amazed.
"It's a tie. Wawrinka lost three game points in a row. With an absolute lead, he is now forced to serve to a critical point."
Tennis matches are like this. It seems that the error tolerance rate is very high, but in fact, just like table tennis, a little deviation or a little negligence can overturn the entire situation in the blink of an eye.
Two minutes ago, they were talking about Gawain's unavoidable serve. Two minutes later, the whole audience held their breath and paid attention to the critical moment of Wawrinka's serve.
However, the score is only tied at the moment, and Wawrinka, who has the advantage of serving, still has the initiative.
a district.
Wawrinka still didn't look nervous. He glanced at Gawain and the serve came immediately.
Outside corner, forehand.
But this time Wawrinka obviously increased the spin. After the tennis ball hit the ground, it moved outward very hard. Gawain took a big step and rushed to the position, only to find that the tennis ball continued to move outward, so that the hitting point deviated slightly.
, Gawain reluctantly slapped it with his wrist.
Whoosh!
The tennis ball directly drew a high arc and flew towards the deep area of the baseline.
It can be seen that Gao Wen consciously pushed the return ball deeper, trying to repeat his old tricks and use the deep bottom line suppression to limit Wawrinka's swing space.
However!
Wawrinka unexpectedly took two steps forward.
Tread! Tread!
The whole person cut directly to the baseline. On the rapid falling trajectory of the tennis ball, without even waiting for the tennis ball to hit the ground, he completed a volley shot with a one-handed backhand that was extremely free and easy.
Not only does it grab the hitting point, but it also compresses the connection of the hitting, and the entire speed suddenly increases.
boom!
The tennis ball flew directly towards the big gap of Gawain's backhand. Even though Gawain ran at full speed, he still couldn't outrun the flying speed of the tennis ball. He could only watch the tennis ball fall to the ground and escape.
"Take the lead, Wawrinka."
The referee reported the score directly.
At the critical moment, Wawrinka once again showed his big heart and used a "One-Two-Punch" hitting the wall to score the winning point and resolve the crisis.
Even Wawrinka, who rarely expresses emotions, clenched his fist heavily and waved it at Gawain. With such an important score at such a critical moment, he needed to improve his condition.
Amidst the thundering applause of the audience, Gawain gathered his thoughts for a moment——
No wonder Wawrinka was able to defeat Djokovic and Nadal at the Australian Open at the beginning of the year. Although Wawrinka's display routine is relatively simple, it does not mean that he will not think and change.
After being suppressed by Gawain many times with deep balls from the baseline, Wawrinka simply used his own serve to set up the ball, and then hit the ball with an incredible volley near the baseline, breaking Gawain's return serve.
.
And it's still on such a critical score.
Gawain needs to remind himself that he can't be lazy or take chances. He needs to think more.
This time, Wawrinka showed people his championship heart.
That time, Gawain showed his brave heart to the audience all over the world.
After three consecutive shots of "backhand VS backhand" duel, Gao Wen boldly shot a backhand in a straight line, catching Wawrinka off guard, and then the score returned to a tie again. Wawrinka's serve was obviously not over yet.
The entire Louis Armstrong Stadium held its breath.
