"40:40".
a district.
One shot, inside corner.
Gawain chose to suppress Djokovic's backhand.
However, the first serve with a speed of 192 kilometers per hour was not difficult for Djokovic, who accurately predicted the service line. He hit a backhand with a deep backslash, which suppressed Gao Wen and disrupted Gao Wen's finish. There was no time to recover after serving, resulting in suppression of the forehand position.
Gawain is in an extremely embarrassed state.
Djokovic, aggressive——
Backhand, diagonal strike.
Backhand, straight line dead center.
For three consecutive shots, Djokovic showed incredible control and attack power on the backhand position. He pressed forward step by step. His footsteps had directly entered the baseline. He compressed the rhythm and grabbed the rising point to complete the shot. He started to rush. Feng Suyu's attacks were faster and faster with each beat, and the speed suddenly increased!
This is what Djokovic is capable of.
Gawain, running all over the place.
However, in an extremely passive situation, Gao Wen also showed a recovering defensive state and controlled the return of the ball for three consecutive shots.
One! Stretch!
Gao Wen even seized the opportunity and hit a forehand shot in the limited hitting space, fighting a straight line with a straight line, and once again sent the tennis ball back to Djokovic's backhand.
Backhand, diagonal slash.
Djokovic launched a bombing attack with heavy hands, aiming at Gawain's backhand gap, directly preparing for the winning point——
but!
Gawain rushes to the scene.
Although it was a bit reluctant, the lightning-fast pace was still chasing after him with all his strength. Seeing that he was almost catching up, the hearts of the audience were so high that they were about to burst.
Right now.
Gao Wen raised his right hand high and was still running, but he had already given up on hitting the ball and signaled to the referee:
"Eagle Eye Challenge."
After giving the signal, Gawain turned to look at the linesman, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, as if to say.
Why was there no report for such an obvious out of bounds?
The linesman, expressionless, stood there very seriously, refusing to respond, and still kept his hands together, indicating that this was in bounds.
Huh!
Exclamations.
ah!
Cheers.
The spectators in the stands did not react. Some fans thought that Djokovic had scored and cheered impatiently. The air was extremely tight and boiling.
"High, Hawkeye challenge, left sideline on the right side of the field."
The referee has accepted the request and made the announcement, asking the official to broadcast the result of the Hawkeye challenge.
In the live broadcast room, both Zhang Sheng and Wu Wensheng were a little surprised.
"Gao Wen thought this ball was out of bounds and voluntarily gave up the shot. If Hawkeye fails to challenge, the point will be awarded directly to Djokovic."
"Judging from the slow-motion replay, the camera angle was slightly obscured by Gawain's movement, so it was not clear. It was indeed a suspected out-of-bounds shot, but we are not sure whether Gawain's position can be seen more clearly. .”
"For players, if it is not definitely out of bounds, they will not take the initiative to give up the ball. Gao Wen's eyes are very firm, he believes that it is indeed out of bounds."
"But there is no doubt that this is a very risky challenge."
There was some chaos at Rod Laver Arena.
But the duration was very short, and soon someone chanted "Novak"'s name, and then uniformly began to clap and high-five to cheer for Djokovic.
Snap, snap, snap.
Bang bang bang!
The cheers gradually rose and exploded, and the whole audience roared, as if the player facing difficulties and in danger at this moment was Djokovic.
The air burned again.
At the scene, the Eagle Eye system seemed to have a slight glitch, and the buffering time was a bit long. After about ten seconds, just when the audience's patience was about to be exhausted, the big screen finally displayed the result——
Slowly, slowly, slow motion playback.
The entire audience was silent and stared with bated breath.
Tennis ball, off the sideline.
Out of bounds!
Strictly speaking, it was not a slight difference, but about half a ball out of bounds, which was still relatively obvious. No wonder Gawain was so determined.
This also means that Gawain's challenge was successful, so this point belongs to Gawain.
"ad:40".
"oh……"
The Australian and Serbian audiences could hardly believe their eyes and all held their heads.
"incredible!"
"It's unbelievable!"
"Gaowen, in the passive situation of '0:40', gritted his teeth, rushed back four points, and obtained the game point of this game with an unparalleled performance."
"It's not easy, it's really not easy."
In the live broadcast room, Zhang Sheng and Wu Wensheng were almost out of breath.
"Come on, Novak! Win this round!"
"Novak, come on!"
"Ho ho ho, Novak."
The fans once again cheered for Djokovic, and bustling shouts surged from different corners of the Rod Laver Arena.
Because the audience can no longer wait to see Djokovic defeat Gawain, because the audience realizes that this game may be very important and must contain Gawain's counterattack momentum, and because the audience simply does not want to see Gawain's Revive and then turn the game around again -
They can't bear it.
It took more than thirty seconds.
Looking around, you can see fans shouting and roaring in every corner of the entire stadium, and the atmosphere is getting more and more intense.
Gao Wen was a little helpless, but he didn't say anything more. This was not the first time this happened in Melbourne Park this year. He turned around and walked to the side, picked up a towel, wiped the sweat, calmed down a little, and kept his concentration. , try to avoid being affected as much as possible.
No one expected that this move would actually bring the Australian audience to a collective climax——
It was as if he disliked Gawain and deliberately delayed the game.
"siuuuu......"
Booing, all around.
Gawain's head is full of question marks.
Then, the audience shouted again, "Cheater!"
This is a denunciation of Gawain’s Hawkeye challenge just now.
They seemed to stubbornly believe that Gawain simply saw that he could not complete the ball, so he chose to challenge Hawkeye to try his luck. This is an unsportsmanlike behavior and must be condemned.
One wave has not subsided, and another wave has arisen.
Immediately afterwards, someone in the audience pointed the finger at the referee, "Get out! If you don't know how to officiate the game, don't sit here."
Then, "Cheater!" Someone in the audience shouted at the referee.
reason?
The referee of tonight's final is a gold medal referee from the United States, Jake Garner. This is a senior gold medal referee with rich experience and a dazzling resume.
From the Davis Cup to the Olympic finals to the Grand Slam finals, he can be seen in all of them. This year's Australian Open is the fifteenth time he has served as the referee of a Grand Slam final.
Interestingly, this is also his second consecutive Grand Slam final decision -
Yes, last year's US Open final was also officiated by him.
so?
When the audience has opinions on the penalty, they naturally wonder whether Ghana is biased towards Gawain?
Of course, this is absolutely impossible. No one except the ATP knows who will be the referee for the final, and the selection of referees for every Grand Slam final is very cautious and strict.
ATP has a strict scoring mechanism and supervision committee, which measures each referee's performance in all law enforcement games in this Grand Slam tournament. Finally, on the day of the final, the candidate for the law enforcement referee will be announced. This also means that each referee will be A referee who can officiate in the finals must be the best referee in this year's Grand Slam.
Behind the scenes?
Absolutely not possible.
However, in competitive sports, where impulse destroys reason and emotions overwhelm order, then anything is possible, just like a fire detonating a gas station.
That sentence immediately received many responses, and the overwhelming boos and roars from the Australian audience came down like a torrential rain.
The scene was a little out of control.
