The tennis ball hit the net belt head-on, causing a white wave of the net to be blocked. It also blocked Gawain's two-handed backhand.
"30:40", then——
Serve to win the game and suffer a break.
"ah!"
Djokovic finally released.
After experiencing the entanglement in the third set and the depression in the fourth set, Djokovic focused all his attention on the final set and was fully prepared.
However, the actual situation completely broke Djokovic's expectations——
In the final set, the world No. 1 was not able to take the initiative as planned. Instead, he was the first to suffer a break and was in a catching-up situation early on.
In tonight's final, Gao Wen's performance continued to improve. He got better and better as he played, and became hotter and hotter. Especially after entering the final set, he showed the boldness and drive of young people. He continued to attack, with blood boiling, emotions high, and high morale.
The entire Rod Laver Arena lit up.
Newborn calves are not afraid of the tiger's arrogance and wantonness, and release their energy vividly.
On the other hand, Djokovic's conservative style of play is becoming more and more dull and passive, and his momentum and aura are completely suppressed. This is definitely not his plan.
until--
End of the game.
Faced with serving to win the game, Gao Wen still experienced slight fluctuations after all. It was a double test of physical strength and energy. After the game lasted for more than five hours, there were inevitable ups and downs on the edge of victory, with forehand and backhand hitting.
The controls all seem a bit irritable and the quality has declined.
The experienced Djokovic seized the opportunity. He did not let Gao Wen see the match point and broke serve directly at the first break point.
"Ahhh!"
Djokovic could no longer suppress his emotions and roared, roared and vented in front of his players' box and the entire audience.
At this time, the world's number one looked like a Super Saiyan, with bursts of energy, clenched fists, and his whole body burning.
The bright eyes are shining with the belief of winning, and the champion's will is shining!
boom!
Rod Laver Stadium also fell into madness, the kind that lost its mind and exploded its heart——
From a "2:0" lead to a "2:2" stalemate, to being broken first in the deciding set, and finally breaking serve in the winning set, the ups and downs of the game were really thrilling, exciting and exciting.
Five hours and fifteen minutes.
The game is still in progress.
There is no doubt that this final has gone down in history, second only to the Australian Open final in 2012, becoming the second longest Grand Slam final in the Open era; even if it is not the final, counting all Grand Slam finals
Consistent games, the time of this game has also been determined to be among the top five.
Tick tock, time, keep moving forward, Melbourne local time, the date has turned over, it is now February 2, 0:15.
The outcome is still something no one can predict.
Not even the AI algorithm system can. The Australian Open official has not announced the numbers. The unknown and suspense of competitive sports have reached its extreme at this moment.
The whole place was enthusiastic.
The roars and cheers of mountains and tsunamis, the overwhelming applause and screams, the ups and downs of the crowd and the heat waves spread out in the field of vision.
Centered on Rod Laver Arena, it spread towards Melbourne Park, and further broke through, spreading like a prairie fire around the world.
No sleep tonight.
Buzz…
The rolling sound evolved into a roar, beating the eardrums continuously, and the whole world shook together.
Gawain, after all, was still unable to control himself, his heart contracted suddenly, he looked up at the sky, his disappointment and regret could not be suppressed.
Facing Djokovic and the Big Four, any mistake will have to be paid for, and the price will most likely be the entire match.
He just served to win the game. He didn't play well. To be precise, it should be very bad. The quality of the entire return was not able to suppress; and the route layout was also a little impatient. Before the victory came, he was still a little impatient after all -
—
It has never appeared before.
Neither Flushing nor Paris.
However, today's game is different after all, not only the meaning of the game, the process of the game, Djokovic's performance, etc.; more importantly, this is the first time in Gao Wen's career that he has played five games.
In an hour-long game, the consumption at various levels is different.
In the last three rounds, the brain was somewhat deprived of oxygen, and its operation speed slowed down significantly; moreover, the body also felt a little heavy, and the movements were slightly behind the consciousness. It should be that another physical limit is about to come, and I am not sure whether this is the second limit or the second limit.
This is the third time. The five-hour competition is indeed too hard and difficult.
Even Gawain is relying on his last bit of support, hoping to complete the sprint and reach the finish line.
But the problem is that a tennis match is not a marathon.
There is no clear end point in a tennis match. Unless one side wins the match point, the match must continue.
This also means that seeing an endpoint that does not exist and then sprinting blindly with excitement is fatal, and may instead become an opportunity for the opponent to make a comeback.
In the past, Gawain had always kept this in mind and was able to remain calm when facing match points; now, it was his turn to be the one being impacted.
This is a lesson and also an experience——
Only by truly experiencing it personally can we remember it firmly.
call……
Taking advantage of the opportunity to wipe the sweat, he buried his cheek in the towel, exhaled a long breath, and his heart relaxed again, regaining its original beating.
He knew that at this moment in the game, especially after Djokovic broke his serve to win the game, the situation had changed——
He may lose, Djokovic may win, everything is possible.
However, he will not give up! No matter what the result is, he will fight to the end!
Standing at the crossroads of destiny, he chose to face the difficulties, he chose to hold his head high, and he chose to go all out. Until the end of the game, he could face all the results with dignity and calmness, and then tell everyone that he did not
Regret, he has no regrets, he has given everything he has.
Plop! Plop! Plop!
The heart is still burning.
calm.
What he needs most urgently now is to calm down, point by point, game by game. Facing Djokovic, he should not imagine that he can defeat his opponent in one go. He must be prepared for a long game.
One must be prepared for the game to continue for six hours.
The fight never stops!
Keep fighting!
call……
Taking another deep breath, Gawain had already recovered. He turned around and strode towards the bottom line. It was not yet time to take a break between games.
"5:5".
Next, it’s Djokovic’s serve.
In the deciding set, Djokovic is still the first to serve, which also means that he has the advantage of serving first. Once he can secure serve this time, Djokovic will put all the pressure on Gao Wen and occupy the first place.
The high ground of victory.
However, Gawain still has a chance.
Because Djokovic had just broken serve, his physical and energy consumption was very intense, and his performance in the following service game is likely to be unstable.
Don’t forget, after a long five-hour match, Gawain will be tired, and so will Djokovic. Maybe Gawain can fight for a chance.
