The referee had to step forward and control the situation.
"The players are ready. Please keep quiet. Please abide by the order of the game and keep quiet between the first and second serves and during the hitting process."
"Please respect the players on both sides and show basic respect for the game."
However--
"Shh! Shhhhhh!"
The referee's stop made the audience even more excited, and boos filled the audience. Many people could even be seen standing up and booing while waving flags.
"Quiet!"
"Quiet! Quiet! Quiet!"
The referee was also irritated and raised his voice, showing his dignity.
"Please keep quiet! Otherwise the on-site security personnel will ask you to leave."
finally!
After the referee repeatedly shouted to stop, the audience finally stopped.
The referee glanced at Gao Wen and expressed his apology. At the same time, he also indicated that Gao Wen could continue to serve——
Second serve.
Just now, as soon as Gao Wen's serve hit the net, the audience burst into overwhelming boos, not to complain about Gao Wen's serve, but to interfere with Gao Wen's serve:
Making noise between the first and second serves, interrupting the rhythm of the serve, trying to create a double fault for Gawain, and win a free scoring opportunity for Kogkinakis.
The order at Hisense Stadium is a bit chaotic.
In today's game, this is not the first time. Because Gao Wen's serving state was unstable, the audience had already succeeded twice before, successfully causing Gao Wen's two double faults, which directly led to Gao Wen's double fault today.
The wrong number rose to six, and now they are doing it again.
However, Gawain was not moved at all. He was not a flower in the greenhouse who would get into trouble because of some boos.
Instead, Gao Wen gestured to the referee, showed a polite smile, and then prepared to serve again.
Pah. Pah. Pah.
Simply hit the ball, without hesitation or hesitation, toss, kick, turn, and finally, swing and hit.
The tennis ball turns into a streamline.
The entire serving movement was crisp and smooth, and it was clearly a second serve, but judging from the movement, it was actually a first serve——
Gawain made a second serve.
Whoosh!
Speed 199 kilometers per hour.
Zone 2, outer corner.
In the blink of an eye, he had jumped out and disappeared.
Kogkinakis's prediction was wrong. His steps were completely stuck in place and he didn't even make any movements. It can be seen from the movement of his feet that he was preparing to move towards his right side, which is the inside corner. As a result,
The ball came from the outside corner, but there was no time for the center of gravity to shift, so it was fixed in place.
ACE.
The wind was strong, hunting, and the whole place was completely silent. This was the response from Gawain, like a slap in the face, loudly slapped on the cheeks of those who interfered with the sound.
The seventh ace of the game.
Moreover, it was the second ACE, which came at just the right time.
After experiencing the interference and destruction of boos, Gawain still maintained a high level of concentration, taking risks and taking action, showing his confidence and courage.
Then, this brings a perfect end to the game.
Simple and neat.
"Game, high, 6:2, 6:2, 6:0."
Goodbye ACE! Game over.
There was a bit of silence in the Hisense Stadium. The despair in their eyes spread as they looked at each other, and the phenomenon of person-to-person transmission occurred.
This is obviously not the scene that local fans expect to see, let alone whether Kogkinakis can defeat Gawain, but at least Kogkinakis' impact is beyond doubt.
However, throughout today's game, Kogkinakis was helpless. From winning points to unforced errors, he was at a disadvantage. From the first point on, the entire game was never in his hands, let alone the ability to counterattack.
, not even able to parry, and the whole process was in a state of embarrassment.
In the first two sets, Kogkinakis struggled hard and saved multiple break points before barely holding serve to avoid the fate of swallowing an egg. However, he did not expect that after entering the third set, Gao Wen, who was in excellent physical condition, actually accelerated again. In an instant,
He widened the gap and sent out the first donut of this year's Australian Open in a hurry.
In the end, Gao Wen defeated Kogkinakis in straight sets with a very easy and very different score. The whole game lasted only 83 minutes.
Not even an hour and a half.
Total Annihilation!
A thousand miles away!
In fact, objectively speaking, Kogkinakis' strength is not so embarrassing and stretched. The reason why Gawain can win so easily is because of the episode before the game.
Kogkinakis is young and energetic, and the more he wants to defeat Gawain and prove himself, the more intense his mood swings, and his attention is obviously distracted, so when he is on the court, his performance becomes more unstable.
And this kind of instability, in the eyes of Gawain, is further amplified through rhythm control.
Then, the game became completely one-sided.
Then, the Australian fans stopped playing.
To be honest, before arriving at Melbourne Park, there were still many uncertainties about Gao Wen's status. Although he successfully won the double crown in Doha, his struggles in serving were obvious to all. He only faced Berdych in his singles championship.
The top ten in the world have not withstood the real test.
Sampras and Agassi also said that Gao Wen needs to continue to adjust and adapt, and he needs more actual games to find his form.
It is precisely because of this that the home fans have higher expectations.
However...that's it?
Just like that, you still said that your status needs to continue to be adjusted? So, did you advance easily today by just exerting 50% of your skills? You even gave out a donut. Isn't it a little too unkind to the host players?
Slap, snap.
However, some people are happy and some are worried——
For Chinese fans, this is great news.
"ah!"
After being stunned for a while, the fans finally reacted. In fact, they didn't expect that the game was over. Before they had time to react, they had already won and advanced like autumn leaves.
Ever since Gao Wen was born, Chinese tennis fans have been treated like this——
Grand Slam first round?
Pass easily.
Stable enough and strong enough, you don’t need to worry about the whole process. It’s just like going on an outing, eating snacks and drinks, waving the flag and shouting twice, and then calling it a day and going home?
This game is awesome!
"Ahhh!"
The five-star red flag fluttered over the Hisense Stadium. The bright red stood out from the vast blue, and the sunset glow also burned together.
Kogkinakis is still a little confused——
The game ends like this...?
Standing there, looking at the tennis ball and then at the racket, my mind went blank, without any sense of reality, because everything happened too fast.
No thoughts or thoughts.
Then, he stood up straight, lowered his head, and trotted all the way to the net. Without looking at Gawain, he lowered his head and patted Gawain's right hand casually. Without even saying a polite word, he turned around and patted Gawain again.
The referee's hand was perfunctory and he quickly left.
He quickly packed up all his equipment and without wanting to stay for a second, he picked up his golf bag and strode out of the Hisense Stadium.
What are you going to do if you stay here and wait for humiliation?
He is not stupid.
However, after entering the players' tunnel, an idea flashed in his mind, and his footsteps suddenly stopped and stopped in place——
"Wait a minute, that guy... didn't sweat much at all?"
