"3:0".
In the opening stage, Kyrgios, who was full of firepower, used unreasonable play to force Gawain into an extremely embarrassing situation. Not only was he lagging behind in game points, he also did not have much advantage in small points. The current total score is 12 to 3. Gawain It was just a pity to get three points, and the game showed a one-sided situation.
It wasn't until the fourth game, which was Gao Wen's second serving game, that Gao Wen gained a firm foothold. After a deuce, he relied on a mistake by Kyrgios and a straight serve of his own to secure serve and win the game. I played my first game in this game and regained my touch a little bit.
The game reached a deadlock, and both sides entered their own service mode, all the way to "5:3", and then came to Kyrgios' serve to win the game.
Although Gawain has been making different attempts, and once caught up to "30:30" in this game, Kyrgios still got the set point with an understatement of the second serve ACE——
It was obviously a second serve, but Kyrgios treated it as a first serve and didn't stop at all.
After his first serve hit the net, Kyrgios shook his head and muttered, "This is the worst serve I've ever served in my life." Then he made a slight adjustment and hit the second serve without slowing down or controlling it, hitting a speed of 132 miles per hour (213 kilometers per hour). His serve was like a cannonball, and it hit him directly.
ACE.
Kyrgios nodded slightly, expressing satisfaction.
During the count, Gao Wen relied on his excellent prediction to guess the right direction and hit a forehand back. The tennis ball successfully drew a full parabola, pressing deeply and turning. The deep area in the middle was almost close to the baseline. The entire return was The serving effect is very, very outstanding.
However, Kyrgios just stood there, without adjusting his steps or preparing for a run-up. He jumped high into the air, completely flying into the air, soaring handsomely and unrestrainedly, and hammered down with his forehand from top to bottom. The thunderous forehand hit the ball hard as if it was about to explode the tennis ball, hitting Gawain's forehand.
It was obviously not a chance for Kyrgios, but he still forced the attack.
boom!
Gawain's prediction was completely accurate and he started immediately. However, Kyrgios's hit was too heavy and too fast, hitting his right half directly. He saw the tennis ball fall to the ground just as he started. Any chance you get, you can only watch the tennis ball bounce and fly away.
In fact, the angle is not completely torn apart, and there is still a big step away from the blind spot. However, the advantages of absolute speed and strength are fully demonstrated.
"6:3".
The score of the first set was fixed here, with Kyrgios winning first.
Looking at the entire first set, there are actually almost no round balls, and the longest round ball is within ten beats. In other words, Kyrgios's unreasonable and powerful play has broken the balance, and it is a violent and tough play. Everything was done smoothly and in one go, and the pace of the game was completely improved.
It only took twenty-five minutes for the first set to be over.
Judging from the number of games, the average game is less than three minutes. If the rest between games is deducted, then the time of a single game is even shorter.
hey-hey.
After completing this violent shot, Kyrgios stuck out his tongue at Gawain, with a proud look of youthful success on his face, then raised his right hand again, shaking it back and forth near his neck to make a cutting motion, gently He shook his head and kept mumbling.
"Did you see it? Did you see it? Hey, did you see it?"
The superior posture seems to be educating Gawain: Do you see, this is tennis; how about it, have you learned it?
After finishing the action, Kyrgios ignored Gawain, turned to face the audience again, raised his hands high, embraced the thunderous applause of the audience, and performed Michael Jackson's moonwalk all the way. Return to the dugout.
The New York audience went completely crazy——
That's exactly what they like, partying! carnival! Passion! A bucket of popcorn for a show!
Quietly, Arthur Ashe Stadium is becoming Kyrgios' home court. Australian fans stood in the stands and cheered and shouted. Tonight's night game ushered in its first real climax. , no less than the Big Four.
"I have to say that Kyrgios's performance in the first set was perfect, strong and smooth, light and violent. There were also many inspired shots, which fully demonstrated his talent in this sport. As long as he Willing, he really beats any player's ability."
In the studio, both Zhan Jun and Hu Litao were a little dull, not only because Gao Wen lost a set first, but also because Kyrgios's offensive power was really amazing. His easy, understated, and comprehensive talent bloomed like a rainbow. Thousands of rays of light.
Objectively speaking, Gao Wen just lost one serve at the beginning of the first set, and then lost the first set. And considering that it was his debut at the night court at Arthur Ashe Stadium, it still took some time to adapt. , such performance is already very good.
But I still have to admit that the light in the first set belonged to Kyrgios.
Come to think of it, this is the same player who set a series of historical records at Wimbledon two months ago, so it shouldn't be a surprise at all.
At that time, Kyrgios eliminated the then world number one Nadal and advanced to the quarterfinals. Not only did he become the first teenage player to defeat the then world number one since Nadal at the French Open in 2005; he also became Florian in 2004. -The first player after Florian-Mayer to advance to the quarterfinals in his first appearance at Wimbledon.
Moreover, Kyrgios was the first 100-man outside player to defeat the then world No. 1 player in a Grand Slam men's competition in 18 years.
In all aspects, this is a player with strong competitiveness. Not only is he more experienced in major competitions, Kyrgios has already experienced big scenes at Wimbledon before; and Kyrgios’s personality is that he likes the big stage, the more The top stage is the more exciting it can be.
The direction and ending of the first set were actually not surprising.
According to common sense, Chinese men's players have not even been able to win any victories in the Grand Slam main draw before. Now Gao Wen has finally made a breakthrough and won two games in a row. This is undoubtedly a huge breakthrough. Logically speaking, We should see the more positive side, and we should also see the side where there are still deficiencies and gaps.
Then, look forward to the future.
In other words, one should be content.
but……
Hu Litao is a little unwilling. He can't help but expect more. He can't help but hope for miracles. Is this just his wishful thinking?
The more I analyze the situation and tell myself that the current situation is acceptable and should be faced calmly, the more unwilling I am; the more I tell myself that I shouldn't be too greedy, the more bitter I become -
Could it be that Gawain has no chance at all?
Hu Litao turned his head and glanced at Zhan Jun, and then found that Zhan Jun's eyes were the same as his own, flashing with unwillingness, and then he started to explain.
"Obviously, things are not going well for Gawain right now."
"However, the game is not over yet. To be more precise, the game is only in the first set. The beauty of tennis is that changes happen all the time, and even if a match point occurs, there are still countless possibilities."
"Everyone says football is round and anything is possible. Don't forget, tennis is too."
