Nadal couldn't believe his eyes and just kept asking repeatedly.
"How did you do it? How did you do it!"
Gao Wen himself was also full of astonishment. He looked at Nadal with wide eyes, then raised his hands high to join the celebration, "In? Inbound?"
The two people paused for a moment, exchanged glances, and after confirming each other, they realized that the ball just happened was real, and they both burst into laughter.
Gao Wen took the initiative to trot towards Nadal, and the celebration ceremony debuted for the first time in this game. He raised his hands to high-five, lowered his hands to fist bump, and ended with both clenching fists to cheer.
Bang. Bang.
Two quick clicks, and then it took Nadal half a beat to realize that he had actually done this with Gawain, making a designed celebration in an actual match, which was really not in line with his way of doing things.
But seeing Gawain laughing heartily, Nadal and Nadal finally let go of their defenses and started laughing, but they still couldn't help but shook their heads, feeling helpless.
This scene was completely in the sight of the audience.
ah!
Ahhhh!
The audience finally could no longer suppress their excitement, and sparse cheers and screams burst out with energy amidst the applause that spread throughout the audience.
The greatest charm of competitive sports lies in this, temporarily forgetting the constraints of reason and simply enjoying the thrill of adrenaline bursts.
Wow wow wow!
The cries of ghosts and wolf howls came one after another. Apparently the fans had been suppressed for too long. They needed to vent, release, and interact with the game.
Continuous!
Yu Jia couldn't believe her eyes. This was probably the busiest and noisiest day since they arrived in Doha. After adapting to the two days of silence, she was now a little uncomfortable, just like Tang Monk who fell into the Pansi Cave, "Indecent"
"See no evil, see no evil", I didn't know where to put my eyes.
Everything you can see is a variety of cotton and linen robes, fluttering in the wind, and the arms raised high are dancing wildly with jumping movements. It looks like a rock music festival held in the desert, noisy, lively, deafening,
But it has a weird charm.
At this time, Gawain finally regained some thoughts. He could see that on the other side of the net, Borrelli also applauded him to express his admiration, with a smile in his eyes. Only then did Gawain realize that he had just been full of imagination.
A stroke of luck actually resulted in a winning score, which was an unexpected surprise.
Nadal once again gave a thumbs up to Gawain to express his admiration, with a smile on his lips and eyes——
Compared with singles matches, the atmosphere of doubles matches is much more relaxed and enjoyable.
"Keep on, keep on."
"We are not out of the crisis yet."
Nadal's attention was not distracted and he remained focused on the game. He did not forget that after saving two break points, they still faced the test of a tie.
However, after enduring the test through close-quarters head-on collisions, the game state and quality of Gawain and Nadal gradually improved.
After the tie, Gao Wen and Nadal continued their efforts, leaving no chance for their opponents, scoring two points in a row, successfully holding serve, and putting the pressure on their opponents.
"5:4".
Next, Mayer and Borrelli had to face a serve that had to be defended, and it was Borrelli who was in charge of serving.
Both Mayer and Borrelli can feel the obvious pressure deeply.
From the moment they received the serve, Gauvin and Nadal tried to take risks and use their strength.
"30:30".
During the back and forth, the two sides were never able to widen the point difference. More importantly, among the four points, they were all dominated by Gawain and Nadal:
Two winners and two turnovers.
This also means that the initiative of the game is firmly in their hands, and Mayer and Borrelli are very passive. This is not a good thing, especially for doubles matches.
So, what about the next point?
Borrell served, Nadal received the serve, while Gauvin and Mayer both stood in front of the net, showing a diagonal angle.
outer corner.
Suppressing Nadal's backhand, at the critical moment, Borrelli still did not dare to attack Nadal's forehand head-on, which was accurately predicted by Nadal.
The two-handed backhand pushed the shot very solidly, flat and deep, and returned to the sole of Berelli's feet along the diagonal line.
That is, in the blink of an eye.
Borrelli panicked a little. The ball came too fast and too deep, which did not give him enough time and space to complete the swing. However, his forehand reflexes allowed him to successfully block the shot and return it.
As for quality, you can't ask for too much.
Returning the ball, he returned the same way and returned to Nadal's side along the diagonal line. This time, Nadal was not merciful, adjusting in small steps and turning sideways forehand.
Attack with force!
Nadal's signature forehand super topspin attack.
boom!
The solid and heavy hitting power was completely released, and the tennis ball rushed towards Borrelli like a cannonball.
Borrelli, who was unprepared in the previous shot, now showed his solid baseline skills as a singles player:
Without much room to adjust his steps, he waited on the spot and successfully waited for the ball to come.
If it was a singles match, he might have to worry about his backhand opening, but in the doubles match, he had the support of his teammates, which allowed Borrelli to concentrate on waiting for Nadal to get the ball.
Then--
The upper body was slightly moved away, and a backhand shot with both hands was made in the narrow space. Using the force of the blow, all the spin and power of Nadal's forehand shot were directly pushed back.
boom.
Standing steadily on the spot, he was forcefully knocked backwards. This shows the strong spin and ferocious stamina of Nadal's forehand attack, but Borrelli still relied on the power of his feet to support the ball on the ground to complete the return.
He even took the risk of fighting for a beat.
boom!
straight line!
Borelli made a very risky choice.
He noticed the narrow passage between Gowan and the sideline - don't forget, the boundary line is wider in doubles than in singles, which also means there is more room for line changes.
At the same time, Gao Wen is ready to move laterally to the right to attack the net and intercept a potential diagonal return ball, which means that he can find a breakthrough from the opposite direction of Gao Wen's movement of center of gravity.
So, Borrelli boldly used the impact of Nadal's shot to hit a straight shot, and without warning, he hit Gawain who was standing in front of the net.
With lightning and flint, everything changes in an instant, and the doubles situation has been turned upside down.
Step forward and touch the ground.
Gao Wen had indeed been looking for an opportunity to suddenly appear on the diagonal return line to complete the volley, but as soon as his center of gravity moved, he immediately realized that the direction was wrong.
A little, a push.
The right leg suddenly kicked off the ground, and after the second start, the body was already moving in the opposite direction to the left. It was too late to backhand with both hands, so I could only hold the racket with one hand and stretch it sideways.
state!
Gawain could clearly feel a violent vibration coming from his wrist, and his power and rotation were completely released. He completely relied on his own hand to wrap the tennis ball, and gently and invisibly blocked the tennis ball. After completing the force release, he intercepted the tennis ball again.
