In tennis matches, this happens occasionally. Because you are too focused and too involved, plus running under the sun for two hours, your head becomes so hot that you forget the score, and you may not remember this game or this game. Whether the game is over, and then make some own goals.
This situation can happen to everyone, just laugh it off.
But Kokkinakis was frustrated.
The main reason was that the timing was wrong. I had just lost my serve to win the game, and watched the game I had grasped slip through my fingers. It felt really, really bad; and it was against someone like Gao Wen. The opponent, and the way the point ended on break point, seemed to be mocking Kokkinakis in every aspect.
That feeling is really... hard to describe in words.
It was difficult for Kokkinakis to accept this situation. The more he thought about it, the more angry and anxious he became.
After returning to the dugout, Kokkinakis still couldn't control his humiliation and slammed his racket to the ground, once! Twice! Three times! Then the racket was twisted and deformed, and the frame was shattered, and finally it was able to calm down a little.
However, sitting on the chair in the rest area, his anger was still boiling within ninety seconds, and his youthful energy could not calm down at all.
At the end of the break, Gawain had already appeared on the stage with light steps, but Kokkinakis still sat in his seat like an old man.
The referee waited patiently for a moment and did not urge him. However, when he saw that Gawain was ready and Kokkinakis was still on the ground with no intention of standing up, he did not hold back and leaned towards Kokkinakis. side, asking "what's going on" without a microphone.
I originally thought that Kokkinakis was injured or something, but Kokkinakis answered confidently.
"I didn't come over to take a break just now. I should make up for it now, at least thirty seconds."
It was so upright and unreasonable that the referee was stunned.
According to the rules of the game, the rest between games is ninety seconds. If the player wastes time, the referee will not give additional compensation. Instead, he can give the player a warning for deliberately delaying the game.
The referee had never encountered such a player. He was stunned for the first time, and then expressed his position. But obviously Kokkinakis didn't care at all, and just sat there as he did without drinking water or drinking water. What he did was deliberately sit in a chair in a daze.
The referee didn't give any further advice, just turned on the microphone and announced the penalty.
"Kokinakis deliberately delayed the game and received a warning."
Shh!
The spectators in the stands immediately gave up and booed. They expressed their dissatisfaction to Kokkinakis in this way. This was an act without professional ethics. It was thought that Kokkinakis had just lost his serve to win the match. Regarding the game, everyone can see that this young player simply cannot afford to lose.
Shameful.
But Kokkinakis didn't care, he was still angry.
In his opinion, the audience had just cheered for Gawain, which meant they were taking sides and clearly opposing him, so why should he please them?
Now that he has been warned, Kokkinakis is even more procrastinating, because tennis matches rarely give warnings for the same thing in a short period of time. This sport believes that everyone is a gentleman, has professional ethics and A gentleman with basic manners.
Kokkinakis made it clear that he was accurate and waited for nearly 40 seconds before coming on the court.
At this time, Gao Wen had been standing in his bottom line area for nearly a minute.
Like table tennis, tennis also pays great attention to the feel. When the feel is hot, you can't hit it as hard as you want, and some fairy balls have appeared frequently; but if the feel is dry, you can't hit it as hard as you want, and even basic hitting is not good. It may be ridiculous.
It is precisely because of this that the state of a tennis match also pays attention to continuity. If one player is injured and pauses, it will interrupt the rhythm of the game for both parties. After waiting for three minutes to return from the injury pause, the game may be over. Showing a completely different look.
Kokkinakis's move actually disrupted Gao Wen's game rhythm to a certain extent and destroyed Gao Wen's rapidly rising hot touch.
If Kokinakis is really planning this, then Gawain really needs to be careful, because this shows that Kokinakis is not that simple-minded.
However, in Gawain's opinion, Kokkinakis probably didn't think that much. He just experienced a low point and needed to vent his negative emotions, and then he did it on impulse.
But no matter what, the rhythm of the game was slightly disrupted, this is a fact.
Gawain stood at the bottom line, like the entire audience, welcoming the arrival of Kokkinakis. At the same time, he stood at the bottom line and jumped twice to let his body rhythm lighten up again and adjust his state.
No one needed to remind him, Gao Wen knew that he was still at a disadvantage. If Kokkinakis broke his serve, it would ruin the victory. Moreover, it is obvious that Kokkinakis should not forget that it is his strength that has the upper hand. that side.
So, how should this serve be played?
Kokkinakis was slowly and swaying there, but Gawain didn't mind at all. Instead, he fully seized the time and his brain started to spin:
physical strength!
In fact, at the end of the second set, the physical strength of Gawain and Kokkinakis reached a low point one after another, and the status of both people fluctuated to varying degrees. Although Gawain has recovered slightly from the extreme point, in the end he is still It can't be compared to the peak state of the first set.
The same goes for Kokkinakis.
Moreover, Kokkinakis is currently at a low point in physical strength. He tried his best in the serve just now but was unable to hold it. It seems that Kokkinakis may have very little left in the tank, and his peak state is about to come, because in front of him The consumption is serious and the duration of the extreme state should be relatively long.
To a certain extent, Kokkinakis's emotional expression and body language at this time are all sending the same signal. He is very dissatisfied with the game situation, but instead of preparing for a counterattack with high spirits, he is immersed in anxiety, anger and In the rush, attention is wandering.
The decline in physical strength is accompanied by the collapse of energy. This is a chain reaction.
This is Gawain's chance.
So, how should Gawain make the most of it?
With his mind running at high speed, Gao Wen stood patiently on the baseline, watching Kokkinakis slowly reach the position before starting to shoot the ball.
Snapped. Snapped. Snapped.
Gawain is shooting the ball, but it is obvious that he is slowing down.
Snapped. Snapped. Snapped.
Normally, Gawain might hit the ball three times or four times; but at this moment, Gawain deliberately slowed down. After hitting the ball three times or four times, he stood up straight and looked over, then bent down and continued to hit the ball.
Tactical shot.
