As the leader of the new generation, Gao Wen has stood under the spotlight, attracting everyone's attention, and embarking on a new journey with great expectations.
Judging from his debut performance, Gao Wen can feel the pressure, and he has also worked very hard in the offseason. However, the impact of adjusting his technical movements and the surging pressure from all directions have formed a siege. Gao Wen's state still needs further adjustment.
, I don’t have much expectations for Doha’s results.
However, using competition as a substitute for training, there were stumblings along the way, and there were many double faults in the serving process, but Gao Wen still stood firm and found a way to win.
In the doubles arena, the golden combination with Nadal made great progress, and after powerfully eliminating Djokovic and Krajinovic, they reached the championship.
In the singles arena, Gao Wen also relied on his good fortune to win four games in a row without encountering top players and advance to the finals, once again subverting people's perceptions.
On the final stage, Gao Wen will face Berdych, the third seed in the tournament.
This is the second meeting between the two players in their careers. The last time it happened was in the top 16 of the Paris Masters, Gao Wen defeated his opponent in straight sets.
People's impression of Berdych has always been that of being "unbearable", as if he always lacked the last breath and failed to break the shackles.
But in fact, Berdych and Ferrer are the same. They are both representatives of "repeated defeats and repeated defeats", and they are unyielding and tenacious in their bones.
As of January 2015, Berdych has lost to Federer twelve times in his career, but he has also defeated Federer six times, including the 2012 US Open.
Perhaps Berdych's personality is not the aggressive and flamboyant type, but his conscientious and down-to-earth playing style never gives up easily.
The last loss to Gauvin in Paris did not affect Berdych's mentality, because this is a new beginning and he is still preparing diligently.
In fact, on the final stage, Berdych did have a chance——
In the opening stage, Gao Wen's serving condition was still poor, and he was obviously still affected by the modification of his technical movements. He struggled very much in the first two service games.
He repeatedly failed to score on the first serve, and the goal rate was only a pitiful 52%. In addition, he also sent four double faults. Without the support of the serve, the game fell into pieces; coupled with the intense consumption of yesterday's two-front battle, physical strength and
The energy was severely tested, and the batting in the opening stage was not stable.
"4:0".
After only seventeen minutes, Berdych easily broke Gawain's two serve games and took the lead. The entire final showed a one-sided situation.
The audience let out a sigh, this was definitely not the final they expected.
However, Gao Wen was neither impatient nor impatient. Even though he was lagging behind by a big score, he stood firm, concentrated, and slowly regained his serving state. In his third service game, he saved two break points to hold serve.
, not only avoiding the tragic fate of swallowing eggs in the first set, but also regaining momentum.
This game created an impact, and Berdych's attention was slightly distracted.
Because he missed two break points, and because Gao Wen's competitive status improved rapidly, the intensity of the confrontation and the quality of the game were quietly changing. I thought it was a game that was in hand, but Gao Wen successfully kept serve, and Berdych
I was a little confused, and I didn't understand how the duck with its mouth flew.
As a result, in the next game, Berdych's own serve, forehand and serve fluctuated significantly.
Gao Wen keenly sensed the change, seized the opportunity, scored four straight points, sent a "love-game", broke serve strongly, and further narrowed the score gap.
This also became the turning point of the first set.
Although Berdych quickly sounded the alarm, regained his focus and gained a firm foothold, Gawain's morale and state showed a rapid soaring momentum, launching a powerful impact with overwhelming force, and the rhythm of the entire game was
There was an obvious change in intensity, and Berdych was caught off guard.
The balance was overturned.
A tennis match is not like a football match, where a flash of inspiration can turn the entire situation around; more like a boxing match, a head-on confrontation is a state of ebb and flow, and a series of domino effects can often occur between offense and defense. In the blink of an eye, the game can end
It might be over.
"6:4".
The one who had the last laugh was Gawain.
In fact, Gao Wen's serving condition is still not good, but his timely adjustment is more reflected in the second serve. The scoring rate of the second serve in the next six games is as high as 73%.
This is a very strong data. It can be seen that Gawain's tactical layout has indeed achieved excellent results and turned the tide of the battle in one fell swoop.
After successfully avoiding swallowing the egg, Gawain instead sent an invisible egg, winning six games in a row, turning the tables and winning the first set.
Berdych was a little confused.
On the first set point, Berdych made his first double fault in the first set and handed the victory away, ending the first set in an almost absurd way.
oh!
The entire center court was filled with stunned exclamations. Many people hugged their heads and couldn't believe their eyes. For a moment, they didn't know whether they should marvel at Berdych swallowing the invisible duck egg or marvel at the fact that Berdych swallowed the invisible duck egg.
The way the first set ended.
Whether it was the ups and downs or the shocking ending, the first set was unbelievable.
The audience exchanged glances one after another, and the surging emotions were clearly conveyed by the rustling sounds.
The same goes for Berdych. He stood with his hands on his hips and looked at his player box, his eyes full of question marks:
Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?
"One hundred thousand whys" was almost overflowing. Berdych didn't know what was going on. He was confused and the first set ended like this.
With a "question mark.jpg" emoticon, Berdych spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, turned around and walked to the rest area in depression.
However, the biggest advantage of players like Berdych and Ferrer is that they are stable and dedicated. They rarely collapse - it only happens very occasionally.
Therefore, no matter what the score is, they will complete the game conscientiously, and the overall average level and quality will always remain stable.
In the second set, Berdych did not collapse, but regained his strength. When Gawain took the lead in holding serve, he also successfully kept his own serve and stopped losing seven games in a row. The second set started.
"1:1", stabilized the situation, and then the game finally got back on track.
However, the trouble is still not over, or to be precise, the game is not over.
Like Djokovic, Berdych never withstood too many tests in this match in Doha:
In the first four rounds, they only lost five games in two games, and only three games in two games. They made a strong advance by cutting melons and vegetables. This also means that there are never many opportunities to adjust the batting state. Once the strong confrontation of the round ball is deadlocked,
Up, the hitting feel will inevitably be insufficient.
Against Gowan, the number of shots in the baseline round increased significantly, but Berdych's ball control was far from optimal, so he couldn't hold the ball:
Often when you are actively attacking or passively defending, you will accidentally drop the ball, especially key points. Mistakes will ruin all your efforts.
As a result, we can only rely on serve and forehand to make rounds.
