The audience burst into thunderous applause, cheers, cheers, screams and whistles. The audience couldn't wait to celebrate Gawain's mistake.
Ho ho ho!
Ahhhh!
The overwhelming sound completely swallowed up the referee's continuous calls for "quiet", and the entire Arthur Ashe Stadium was plunged into a frenzy.
Gawain had to stand up straight again as he was preparing to serve, showing some helplessness. Then he pursed his lips and started to juggle the ball with his left hand, like a juggler, waiting for the noise from the scene to disappear. This action also made the entertainment
The American audience, whose spirits were deep in their bones, burst into laughter.
The noise finally stopped, and then Gao Wen had to re-shoot the ball and readjust to complete the second serve.
Throw the ball! Kick the ground! Turn! Swing the racket!
Facing the match point, Gauvin chose an outside corner, aimed at Djokovic's forehand, and consciously increased the spin to create an outspin effect.
but!
Djokovic's prediction was successful in advance, and he threw his body directly with one step and one kick. He completed a quick whip with his forehand and used the power of his arms and wrists to quickly push the tennis ball back.
Fast and heavy, thin and biased.
Djokovic directly returned a small slash effect. Gawain only had time to move a small step to the right before he knew it was too late.
Return serve ACE!
"40:30".
Ahhhh!
The whole place was thundering!
The mighty cheers released energy like a volcanic eruption, and the golden sunlight exploded in the audience, rushing toward Gawain with bared teeth and claws.
Gao Wen shook his head slightly. His second serve was still a little conservative, and the outer corner was not completely ripped. Then he was caught by Djokovic. At the match point of the Grand Slam semi-finals, his mentality was also different.
There were still some inevitable fluctuations, but in fact, compared to the joy of advancing to the next round, the thought of defeating Djokovic shook my nerves more.
Calm down. Calm down. Calm down.
Turning around, with his back to Djokovic, Gao Wen took a deep breath to calm down. The greater the chance of a match point, the more he needs to maintain a calm mind, otherwise any slight deviation may lead to an imbalance of mentality.
Then the game turned completely upside down and became a completely different story.
Especially against a top player like Djokovic——
You can't be conservative and you can't be nervous. You can't be conservative and you can't be nervous.
Gawain secretly reminded himself that today's entire game was won by his own initiative, so the last moment should also have a beginning and an end.
He needs to take the game into his own hands!
Then, turn around, walk to the baseline, and prepare to serve.
One shot, long, out of bounds.
Wow!
Ahhhh!
Ahhhh!
The Arthur Ashe Stadium has gone crazy. Boiling lava is constantly blowing out. The game has truly come to a critical moment.
"Obviously, Gawain is also feeling the pressure."
"For the second time in a row, he failed to make a first serve, and the second serve just now was directly won by Djokovic. The pressure is indeed unimaginable, but Gao Wen needs to stay calm now and cannot think about victory for the time being.
But you need to focus on this.”
Hu Litao couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He said that Gao Wen needed to stay calm, but he was so nervous that he could hardly breathe.
Match point is like this. If you catch it, everything will be free; but if you miss it, you will start to panic. If you miss it more and more times, you will slowly start to doubt yourself, so that you don't know how to play at all.
, many games are reversed like this.
Hu Litao couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his palms on his thighs.
The same must be true for the audience at the scene. In the previous point, Djokovic caught a second serve and returned an ace. This time Gao Wen must have faced greater pressure. Maybe Djokovic copied and pasted it?
Pah. Pah. Pah.
The overwhelming shouts at the scene finally stopped, and then fell into a dead silence. It was as if all the 25,000 spectators held their breath, and only the sound of Gawain batting the ball echoed.
Pah. Pah. Pah.
Gao Wen batted the ball for a little too long, as if he was infected by Djokovic, so that the tense and suffocating atmosphere spread on the surface of his skin, and goose bumps began to appear one after another.
Then, Gawain finally stopped shooting the ball——
Throw the ball! Kick the ground! Turn! Swing the racket!
Hit the ball!
boom.
The tennis ball flew up, not only without deceleration and insurance, but also took the risk to copy a first serve——
What?
Gao Wen treated this ball as a first serve, and at the second match point, he risked two service errors leading to a double fault and made a second serve!
This, this is too bold!
All the spectators held their breath in unison, and even swallowed their exclamations, frightened by the unexpected event before them.
drop!
The speedometer in the corner of the court showed that the speed of Gawain's ball was 120 miles (194 kilometers) per hour, which was even faster than the average speed in the third and fourth sets. It can be seen at a glance that Gawain was playing at such a critical moment.
Always fight for a flat serve!
frenzied.
So, what about the angle?
Close and press the forehand.
Obviously one point before, Djokovic had used his forehand to score a winning point, but now Gao Wen actually challenged Djokovic's forehand for the second time in a row. He just made a slight change. Such a choice,
Such a strategy and such a tactic made all the spectators watching the game fall into a daze.
Never expected it.
Djokovic also did not expect that this should be a decelerated second serve, but as soon as Gao Wen's serving action ended, the tennis ball had already jumped in front of his nose, and the entire speed and rhythm exceeded expectations, even if
It was Djokovic who was also caught off guard.
When you lean back and retreat, your upper body reacts conditionedly to give way to the space. It's too late to swing the forehand, so you can only use the rapid swing of your forearm to drive the power.
boom!
The tennis ball has already hit the racket——
Not to mention the third and fourth sets, in fact, throughout the whole match, Gao Wen's serving speed was still more in the range of 111 miles (180 kilometers) to 118 miles (190 kilometers), focusing on control. The sudden change at this moment
The increased speed made Djokovic's response look a bit flustered and unfamiliar.
However, Djokovic is still Djokovic. In a flash of lightning, the strength of his wrist and arm pushed the tennis ball back so lightly.
However, Djokovic did not act too hastily and immediately launched a counterattack. Instead, he pushed the tennis ball into a deep area in the middle, which to some extent restricted Gawain's attack connection with the next shot. As long as the two sides can form a stalemate, then
The game can begin. When caught off guard, this is Djokovic's best way to deal with it.
Whoosh!
The next second, the tennis ball had already pulled out a light parabola across the sky. The intertwined blue and gold sky outlined a lazy arc. After crossing the net, it quickly fell towards the bottom line.
It crashed into the target position, and the naked eye could still see the violent rotation, like a propeller coming towards the face.
rush!
jump up!
change!
The huge pressure brought by the entire spherical mass rushed towards Gawain at ten times the speed.
