Djokovic's knees were a little weak. After changing the line on his forehand on the last shot, his footsteps were already moving towards his backhand position, preparing for the next attack.
Obviously, the backhand duel throughout the game has formed an inertia, not to mention that in the final set, when the physical strength is reduced, the straight line in passive defense is even more difficult to control——
From the perspective of the hitting line, the straight line is shorter, the diagonal line is longer, the height of the straight line crossing the net is higher, and the diagonal line is lower, which shows the difficulty of control.
Gawain's straight line is more difficult than Djokovic's straight line.
but!
Gao Wen chose a straight line and hit the ball back like a wall. He went straight and caught Djokovic off guard. In an instant, Djokovic was reminded of the US Open. He dared to take shots and take risks. In the end,
The important thing is to be strong-willed, bold and careful.
The sharp edge and bravery unique to young people are vividly displayed.
At this time, the same is true.
"ah!"
Gawain is roaring.
"Ahhh!"
Even if they are exhausted, even if they are sweating profusely, even if their faces are red, those eyes are still burning with high fighting spirit:
It is the desire to win, the desire to fight, and the desire to challenge.
Djokovic was a little dull. He couldn't hold on to the ground with enough force to push off, and he was slipping a little. His messy steps looked a little awkward, and his shoulders drooped, revealing a sense of frustration.
At the critical moment, he needed to improve his condition, but he was never able to meet expectations. Just like the ball just now, the parabola was not controlled. Even if the line change was successfully completed, the landing point was good, but Gao Wen still caught the opportunity and completed the ball.
An incredible turn from defense to offense.
Then……
The break point and match point appeared.
call.
Djokovic breathed out invisibly, straightened his shoulders again, stretched his back muscles, turned towards the caddy, nodded, and waited for the caddy to throw the tennis ball over and prepare to serve.
Pah. Pah. Pah.
Djokovic started hitting the ball again, ten times, thirteen times, a full thirteen times, and then tossed the ball.
Kick off the ground. Turn around. Swing the racket.
The whole movement is very smooth, but if you observe carefully you can find:
The force of kicking off the ground was slightly insufficient, and the downward movement of the swing was too rapid. I tried to add more force, and the result was that the serve went into the net.
Buzz buzz.
A rustling commotion, exclamations and discussions could be heard at the scene. With such a crucial score, will Djokovic face pressure on his second serve again?
The air is a little tight.
Moreover, there were too many surprises and twists in today's game. There were five match points in the second set, so now that we were facing match points again, the audience was a little bit unable to sit still.
There was no special change in Djokovic's expression. He just stood there and waited patiently. After all the noise disappeared, he got ready to serve.
Pah. Pah. Pah.
Djokovic started hitting the ball again, and it took longer than the first serve. He lost concentration as he counted, fifteen or seventeen times?
Some people at the scene had already begun to yawn, but Djokovic was still happy.
Finally, Djokovic threw the ball.
Whoosh.
The tennis ball flew high and spun lightly.
Gao Wen also followed suit, watching Djokovic's serving action, and then his pupils shrank slightly, and his body had already made a judgment.
Outside corner, press backhand.
Kick!
The calf kicked out violently, but the knees and calves were shaking a little, and the force was not fully exerted. The body was not able to completely rush out, so it could only move quickly in conjunction with the footsteps.
Both hands are already stretched out for the backhand, trying to steal a second serve. Even if you risk making a mistake, you must steal it.
But what about tennis?
Snapped.
A muffled sound came, but it was a little far away.
Gawain reflexively looked towards the sound, but did not see the tennis ball, only the agitated net.
J.
Actually went offline again.
Double fault!
On Gao Wen's first match point, Djokovic used a "goodbye double fault" to win the game. It was exactly the same as the forehand error at the last shot of the second set. This was also the victory of the game.
Jokovic's fourth double fault came at the worst possible time.
this……
Is this really happening?
Or rather, how did this happen?
Buzz buzz.
The stadium was filled with roaring waves, but no one rashly broke the deadlock. The atmosphere was a bit strange as everyone looked at each other.
Gao Wen was slightly stunned, his exhausted brain was unable to move. He subconsciously turned to look at the players' box, looking for Sampras's eyes:
nod.
He nodded continuously, then clenched his fists, looked at Gawain with a smile on his face, and waved them continuously.
The next second, Peart and Tobias also stood up, smiling broadly, hugging each other and celebrating each other, raising their arms and shouting.
Won?
"ah!"
Gawain also clenched his fists, a smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth, and the light in the depths of his eyes became brighter little by little. Like a deer, he jumped towards the net, and then joy exploded in his chest.
champion?
Has he really won the Paris Masters?
"Ahhh!"
Unable to control himself any longer, he roared crazily towards the sky above the court.
"ah!"
One sound, another sound!
"ah!"
Because of the championship! Because of the Masters championship! And even more because of this final!
Facing Djokovic, who was determined to take revenge, he could not see any hope for a while. However, in the extremely difficult situation, he never gave up. He gritted his teeth and persisted, looking for opportunities to counterattack and looking for ways to deal with it.
, the game was brought back bit by bit.
After fighting hard to the last moment, Gao Wen really almost gave out his strength. It was even more difficult than winning three out of five sets in a Grand Slam.
But, win!
"Ahhh!"
Happiness was released bit by bit like a tornado, rising from the soles of his feet to his forehead. His scalp was numb, and Gawain no longer held back. He jumped high, raised his right fist to the sky, and roared with all his strength.
Celebrate this incredible victory with all your strength.
Emotions, bursting.
At this moment, the audience at the Accor Arena finally woke up from the sudden stop of shock and astonishment. Looking at the passionate Gawain, their sighs and surprises were like a volcanic eruption, continuously releasing energy, and then one and two
Everyone stood up and gave warm applause.
Like a spark of fire, it spread throughout the entire place in the blink of an eye.
The audience finally reacted.
Obviously, this ending was not the result they expected; but the point is, this is undoubtedly the most exciting and most beautiful game in this year's Paris Masters.
In the past, Raonic defeated Federer in an upset, and in the end, Gawain upset Djokovic. The last Masters in 2014 continued the turmoil and earthquake of this year, with an unusual and wonderful performance.
The way came to an end, bringing the final end to the ATP chaos throughout the year——
Oh, by the way, there is also the year-end finals, so this is not the end.
To be precise, this is not the end in the first place. The end of the 2014 regular season also means that the whistle of the 2015 season is not far away.
Perhaps, they are really witnessing and experiencing history, witnessing the rise of the Big Four and the changes in the era of the Big Four.
