The game is far from over. Losing one set is definitely not the end of the world. The next set will be a new beginning.
However……
Gao Wen had fighting spirit and belief, and continued to fight after entering the second set. However, a poor state means a poor state. If you need a winning point, you need to take risks, you need to hit the ball hard. If you can't get into the zone, you can't. If you can't, you can't.
The goal is to miss it, which is very realistic.
The trend of the second set had many similarities with the first set, but was slightly different.
It was Nadal who was the first to break serve. In the middle stage of the set, he ushered in a "4:2" lead.
But this time, Gao Wen quickly improved his condition, and then completed the breakthrough. The score returned to "4:3", and both sides were still on the same starting line.
Moreover, Nadal, who returned from injury, and Gauvin, who lacked systematic training, experienced the intense and abnormal first set, and their physical peaks appeared slightly earlier, and the duration of their physical troughs was also slightly longer.
In an already poor state, the number of turnovers increased significantly, and the overall intensity of confrontation also declined.
Both sides are gritting their teeth and persisting in the game.
In the ninth game, Nadal saved five break points. The single game lasted for 13 minutes. In the end, Nadal stubbornly held on to serve.
In the tenth game, Gao Wen, who unfortunately missed multiple break opportunities, suffered significant physical fluctuations. As a result, Nadal won two consecutive break points and match points.
At the critical moment, Gao Wen once again improved his condition. He made a fighting backhand straight line with both hands and a forehand chip to release the ball. He tenaciously tied the score and scored two more points in one go to keep the serve. He came from the edge of the cliff for the second time.
Return to the game and continue the suspense of victory or defeat.
The exciting and exciting competition made the audience at the Diamond Stadium hold their breath.
In the eleventh game, Nadal experienced two tie-break tests, but failed to deliver a break point. He secured serve at the critical moment and put the pressure on Gao Wen.
In the twelfth game, when Gao Wen took the lead in getting the game point, his backhand encountered Nadal's continuous suppression of super topspin and failed to open up the situation. As a result, he made two consecutive mistakes on the forehand position, and instead gave up a break point and a double
Match point.
The stalemate in the last few rounds of the game continued, and both players persisted.
On the edge of the cliff, Gawain showed an incredibly big heart.
Gao Wen saved the third match point with an inside-corner ACE, once again bringing the score back to balance.
However, Nadal then used a violent forehand outside-in to score an incredible winning point, taking the lead again and getting the fourth match point.
call……
Facing a desperate situation, Gawain completely calmed down, all distracting thoughts disappeared, and he concentrated on the layout of this point.
Zone 2, outer corner.
At the fourth match point, Gao Wen chose a super wide outside corner, deliberately reduced his strength and speed, pursued an outside corner point in the shallow area of the service area, and then used super external spin to completely move Nadal out of the court.
——
One shot, it’s coming!
At the most critical moment, Gao Wen gritted his teeth and seemed to be in his best state for a short time, hitting the target with his fighting style serve.
Take a solid first step with a strong serve.
Nadal has already rushed out of the doubles line, almost hitting the billboard, and the hitting point has already passed the shoulder position. Even Nadal's powerful forehand has no room to exert force. He just
Can barely complete one touch with the racket diagonally above the shoulder.
Complete the ball with a general.
Moreover, after reluctantly hitting the ball, Nadal's footsteps continued to be pulled forward by inertia, and the sound of his sudden stops and turns made a sharp and sharp sound on the ground, as if he was dancing wildly on the tip of a knife.
The serve was very effective. In two consecutive service games, Gao Wen's serve performed well at critical moments, making up for his shortcomings of poor touch. This also meant that Gao Wen's offensive layout developed exactly as expected——
Tap tap tap!
Tap tap tap!
Gawain cut to the bottom line very firmly and very quickly. He rushed forward immediately, with murderous intent in his eyes and a high degree of concentration.
Even though the success rate of surfing the Internet today is not high, you must not be timid or hesitant when you see an opportunity, otherwise the opportunity will disappear in an instant.
At this time, Nadal's return shot was like a moon ball. It could not see the distance, and the landing point was in the service area. Going to the net was Gawain's only choice, and it was also the best choice.
Light! Fast! Firm!
In the blink of an eye, Gawain was already in front of the net, constantly adjusting his small steps, and raising his head high to watch the flight path and falling speed of the tennis ball. Then his whole body stretched completely, like a roc spreading its wings.
Then he went down to the ground to complete the ball, and exerted full force with high pressure above his head.
Whoosh.
There was the sound of hunting wind in my ears, and a mighty storm seemed to be gathering on the Diamond Stadium, blocking out the sky and the sun, and changing the color of the sky and the earth as the light and shadow intertwined.
The wind rustles and the water becomes cold!
Gawain was in a state of concentration, kicking off the ground! Jumping! Using force! His graceful and elegant movements unfolded smoothly.
boom!
Diagonal line, diagonal line, bottom line.
Gawain's high-pressure ball is very resolute. His body is like a spring that is compressed to the extreme. He releases powerful force instantly, all superimposed on the tennis ball. The moment he hits the ball, he can hear a clean and crisp sound exploding in the air.
And the explosion is like thunder.
but!
There is still a figure on the court running at full speed, sprinting tirelessly and tenaciously.
Predicting the direction of Gawain's high-pressure ball in advance, Nadal immediately sprinted across the entire court towards another section after returning the serve. He watched the tennis ball hit it like a missile, and he could even clearly see the hunter.
The wind continued to grow in momentum and power.
Nadal didn't shy away.
Run! Run with all your heart! In a trance, you can see that figure has caught up with the footsteps of the wind.
One kicks on the ground! One moves forward! One jumps!
Nadal hit the ball with a solid backhand with both hands. After jumping up, he completed the swing near his shoulders. His wrist was thrown out quickly like a whip. The control and pressure at the moment of release of the ball burst out with incredible energy.
Within seconds, the tennis ball seemed to disappear from the air.
Whoosh.
When waiting for the tennis ball to appear again, it had already landed in the big baseline triangle on the forehand side of Gao Wen's half. It landed! Exploded! Released energy!
boom!
The superposition of strength and strength was vividly displayed at this moment, penetrating the entire stadium, and at the same time tearing apart Gawain's blockade and shining brightly across the entire stadium.
Tap tap tap!
Tap tap tap!
Nadal did a big split with his feet, and he almost lost control and slipped to the ground. He relied on his strong waist and abdominal strength to control his body. He staggered awkwardly, but he had no time to care about his own situation. He stared intently.
Watch the flight of the tennis ball.
heart stop.
It wasn't until it was confirmed that the tennis ball successfully entered the bounds and broke the net that the extremely tense nerves finally relaxed, and joy burst out in an instant.
ah!
Nadal clenched his fists and raised his head to the sky. He looked like he was fished out of the water. He was sweating profusely, his face was red, and his eyes were shining brightly. The mixed emotions of going through an arduous and fierce battle finally had no room for reservation.
Burning, he jumped into the air and waved his clenched fists vigorously.
