Both players on the court were very calm. The next two points were Djokovic's serve points. He looked up at Gao Wen and then started to shoot the ball.
Second District.
Pah. Pah. Pah.
This time, Djokovic took ten shots. He seemed a little nervous, but not so anxious. He quickly found inner peace.
Close and press the forehand.
Forehand again?
However, this time Gao Wen noticed that the entire side spin was very obvious, and after rebounding from the ground, it was still moving towards his body, causing further squeezing.
With continuous small steps, Gawain tried to get out of the way, but he still missed a little. As a result, his upper body leaned back and swept the ball with an awkward movement. He completely relied on the power of his forearm and wrist to complete the push, and whipped the tennis ball.
Hit back.
Forehand from the middle, pressing deep.
Although the power is slightly lacking, the placement and line are still good.
Djokovic made two small adjustments, and his forehand had already stroked a straight line, like a right angle, and sent the tennis ball back along the same path.
The detail is that the entire connection speed is very fast, and the landing point is pressed very deeply, and the repeated lines without tearing angles further cause squeeze.
Rustling.
Gao Wen moved sideways to the left side in small steps, and moved his forehand further sideways to get out of the way. With one kick and one turn, the power of the forehand swing exploded instantly.
"ah!"
Because the center of gravity was unstable, the burst of power came out with a roar, and the forehand used the strength of the forearm to actively attack a diagonal shot.
Skateboard slash.
The tennis ball jumped out quickly, light and fast, and turned into an arrow.
But then, when Gawain was adjusting his focus, he immediately realized something was wrong:
Oops.
Got guessed.
This diagonal skateboard attack was anticipated by Djokovic, who moved his steps in advance and rushed to the backhand position early.
And Gao Wen's position has been pulled to the sideline position of the backhand position, which also means that the entire forehand position has been cleared.
Oops!
Gawain braked suddenly with his left foot, controlled his body, and in the next second he kicked off and rushed out.
My knees are a little weak.
But there was no hesitation in the pedaling action. He continued to pedal again and again, and the speed resumed. However, the acceleration was still affected by the slight delay.
hurry up.
Hurry up.
Speed up across the board!
Gao Wen was running wildly, and he could see that Djokovic was already in position smoothly, with both hands on the backhand, and he completed the shot very firmly and decisively.
straight line!
It's indeed a straight line!
but!
Djokovic was slightly unaware that Gawain's skateboard shot had strong side spin and tail power, and the whole shot was full of stamina. The ball was so heavy that Djokovic's center of gravity was also squeezed.
He let out a groan due to the strong exertion of force.
ah.
Then, the tennis ball flew out.
A straight straight line.
Gawain was still running wildly, but he was about to lose track of him.
"Out."
The linesman raised his right hand very firmly, indicating that Djokovic's straight return failed to enter the bounds.
Gawain couldn't believe his eyes——
Djokovic pursued perfection and tried to open up the angle a little further, because this was the trap he had set. Gawain's return was all planned, and he only needed a straight line to complete the score.
but.
but!
Gao Wen's movement ability is too good, Gao Wen's fighting ability is too strong, forcing Djokovic to also want to completely open the angle; and he launched a completely different strategy from the previous point, and the return rhythm of this shot
Significantly improved, breaking Gawain's batting inertia with a sudden increase in speed.
Djokovic is aiming for winning points.
However……
"Set, high!"
The referee had directly announced the score, because the ball landed on his side. He sat on the high referee chair and looked over. He was very sure that it was out of bounds, without any doubt.
Accident.
Absolutely unexpected!
Who could have imagined that the second set would end abruptly in such a way.
"7:6(6)".
In the final stage of the tie-break, Gao Wen saved three consecutive match points and scored five consecutive points to reverse the victory.
The deciding set is here!
Gawain could no longer scream, he just clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and looked towards the other side of the court with burning eyes——
The game is not over until the last point is scored.
He ran for a glimmer of life with his own feet, fought for a glimmer of hope with his own hands, and then held on tightly.
victory?
There is still one game left to decide, so why can't the winner be him?
Even when facing Djokovic! To be more precise, it is precisely because of facing Djokovic that the will to fight is burning like never before!
After all, this is number one in the world and one of the four giants!
Buzz buzz.
Buzz buzz.
The entire stadium roared with roaring sounds, and the center court erupted with incredible energy.
"Wow."
"I mean, wow."
"Djokovic has taken all difficulties and circumstances into account and firmly controlled the initiative. However, Gao Wen still used his unyielding will to fight for the last possible chance and successfully fulfilled it."
“Incredible!”
“It’s really incredible!”
In the studio, sighs and cheers intertwined, the commentator held his head in disbelief, and the words poured out endlessly.
"The mistake at the last moment is unforgivable for Djokovic, but at the same time, it is also the inevitable result of Gawain's continuous pressure at the end of the second set."
"In this game, whether we win or lose, we must take our hats off to Gao Wen."
"Wonderful, really wonderful! In the second set, it can be said that Gawain fought with his own strength. This was also the first set that Djokovic lost in this year's Paris Masters.
"
"Djokovic has never faced too severe challenges in Paris. The intensity of such a competition is obviously unfamiliar, but I don't know how he will adjust next and whether he can keep up with Gawain's speed and power in time; at the same time,
How much energy Gawain still has in his fuel tank is also a question mark."
"We'll wait and see what happens in the final set!"
Djokovic stood there and looked at his return line for a long time without any special reaction. Then he raised his head and glanced at Gawain who was clenching his fist:
There was a bright light shining on that energetic, youthful face.
Then.
boom!
Without warning, Djokovic suddenly exploded and slammed his racket to the ground.
Once, twice, three times.
Bang! Bang bang bang!
The fragments of the racket were flying all over the sky. In the blink of an eye, they were shattered and twisted into strange and jagged shapes.
Shh!
The audience was stunned for a moment, frightened by Djokovic's sudden anger, but then they came to their senses and booed.
No one likes such a scene, especially the French audience, who are very, very disgusted, so when players lose their temper on the court, the audience always boos, even the local darlings do it, they don't care who the target is.
, no one will get used to such rude behavior.
But Djokovic seemed to have gotten used to it. After finishing the shooting, he calmed down and walked to the players' rest area expressionlessly.
