The entire Margaret Court Stadium was silent, and all eyes were focused on the big screen, waiting for the result of the Hawkeye challenge.
At the same time, the big screen at Melbourne Park is also watching the game at Margaret Court Arena, because the night match at Rod Laver Arena has not yet started, and the doubles match is going on at Hisense Arena. Naturally, the international signal So I switched to the local darling.
The sound of wind, hunting.
Hawkeye challenge, slow motion shows that Gao Wen's return ball is pressed on the baseline. There is only a trace, as thin as a cicada. To the naked eye, it is simply out of bounds. The on-site linesman's judgment cannot be blamed at all, but according to the computer The system displays the replayed result, which is in bounds.
"40:30."
The referee has already announced the score directly. What does that mean? Just this point, rematch.
Kyrgios quit immediately.
"Why?"
"At this point, I had already completed the shot, and I had already formed the winning point. The guy couldn't catch up at all."
"This should be my score! This should be my takedown! This should be my game!"
Kyrgios yelled at the referee. Even if there was no line referee to intercept Gowen's return ball out of bounds, his straight hit could have formed a winning point. The opportunity had been created through his own efforts.
The results of it?
Rematch?
unacceptable.
The referee tried to explain to Kyrgios:
According to the rules of the game, there was no problem with Gawain's return, but he suffered a misjudgment. At the same time, Kyrgios also successfully received the tennis ball, so of course this point should be replayed. This is a penalty without a doubt.
As for the effect of Kyrgios' next shot, it will not affect the penalty, because the return ball that was judged to be out of bounds by the linesman did not go out of bounds.
There is no doubt about such a penalty. It will be the same result if any referee is replaced. Even if the appeal is appealed to the disciplinary committee, the result will not be changed.
"Grass!"
"Are you favoring that guy? This is Australia, do you understand? Do you understand? This is Australia? But you are blatantly favoring that guy!"
"You corrupt villains!"
Kyrgios vented all his foul language, but the referee was not moved at all.
Kyrgios finally realized that he could no longer reverse the situation, stepped back step by step, turned around, raised his right hand high, and made a gesture of counting money.
The implication couldn't be more obvious.
Obviously, there were fluctuations at the end of the game, and Kyrgios was extremely angry; but also, the referee has been under tremendous pressure from the home court. Kyrgios's actions are unacceptable and are a violation of the referee's authority. This kind of provocation also fuels the arrogance of the fanatical fans at home.
"Warning, Mr. Kyrgios."
The referee issued a warning without hesitation.
In a tennis match, there is the first warning, the second penalty point, and the third penalty game. If the situation continues to be serious, the referee can directly award a loss.
Huh!
Shh!
The audience booed.
But I don’t know whether it was the action of booing Kyrgios or the referee’s decision——
Judging from the scene, it should be the latter.
Whoops!
Whoops!
The boos were overwhelming, sweeping from the lawn of Melbourne Park and surrounding Margaret Court Stadium.
However, the referee was very tough and had no intention of giving in. It can be foreseen that Kyrgios will be punished after the game.
"Quiet!"
"Quiet!"
"The players are ready to hit the ball. If they continue to make noise and disrupt the game, we will interrupt the game and take enforcement measures against the offending spectators."
Sure enough, games with Kyrgios on the stage will never lack blood and drama.
He is worthy of being the "bloody little prince".
After repeated warnings, Margaret Court Stadium finally regained its composure, and even a timer appeared on the lower right side of the official live broadcast screen.
"Time since last hit: 02:33"
The timer is still rolling forward.
By the time Kyrgios was finally ready to hit the ball, nearly three minutes had passed since the next point.
Obviously, this has an objective impact on both sides. It depends on who can maintain his concentration on batting in the environment of off-field interference.
Snapped. Snapped. Snapped.
Kyrgios simply patted the ball and started serving without much hesitation.
The first serve is off the net and the second serve is inside the corner.
Just like the previous point, in this replayed point, Kyrgios still chose the inside corner, obviously playing a gambling game with Gawain.
Gao Wen blocked a shot with his forehand, but the quality of his return dropped a bit.
On the first serve, he can use his strength, but not on the second serve; he should attack on the second serve, but Gao Wen's steps are not in place and he cannot fully swing the racket to actively exert force, so the quality of the return is not as good as one cent.
However, Gao Wen is more proactive in the connection between shooting and shooting.
After returning the serve, he accurately predicted Kyrgios' forehand diagonal attack. Even if the position was not good, Kyrgios was now full of anger waiting to be vented. When faced with the opportunity, he would definitely not miss it.
As a result, Gawain predicted in advance and moved in advance, waiting for his forehand position——
brake! Kick the ground!
With the help of the inertial force of his own sprint, he was completely connected through the turning movement, and then he hit the front with his forehand.
Strength against strength!
Moreover, Gawain did not break the angle, it was still a diagonal line, and the final landing point was towards the position where Kyrgios is currently standing.
Flat and fast!
Kyrgios was delighted: That idiot!
He originally wanted to move, but when he saw the ball coming, he stopped urgently. Then he rounded his forehand without caring about it and hit it head-on.
……etc!
The landing point of the ball was shallower than expected, and it was also a backspin ball. This broke Kyrgios's expectations. He should have taken one step forward to find the accurate hitting point and make a complete swing with full power; however, If you miss this step, the entire hitting position will be completely wrong.
ah!
Kyrgios's feet didn't completely touch the ground, and he couldn't complete his forehand swing——
J.
The return ball hit the net directly.
"40:40".
One more wasted count, back to deuce.
Kyrgios was furious, a stroke of luck, an accident, and then it was a deuce? If that wasn't the case, the second set would have been won, okay?
After mumbling for a while, Kyrgios began to prepare to serve. He looked up at Gawain and completed the serving action according to the normal procedure.
However!
But at the moment when the ball was about to be thrown, he changed his serving action. Instead of throwing the ball, he let go of his left hand, made the tennis ball fall, and directly served an underhand serve.
Sneak attack!
Gawain was highly focused, and the strength of his calf muscles suddenly exploded. He ran in a straight line with all his strength and entered the infield in just three long strides.
There was even time to take a peek at Kyrgios's position and saw that Kyrgios was still on the baseline. Then, Gawain used his forehand to lightly pick and push.
There was no force at all, but a small diagonal shot in front of the net.
Light, agile and effortless.
Kyrgios's starting speed has been slow, because Gawain did not attach any force, and the force was released very beautifully. After the tennis ball passed the net, there was almost no bounce, and the next step after landing had already formed two jumps.
"40:ad".
From holding two set points to facing a break point, the high-speed train between heaven and hell was not so fast. In the blink of an eye, the situation in the second set changed subtly.
So, what about Kyrgios?
