"Match point!"
"Match point appears!"
"An ace with a speed of 201 kilometers per hour!"
"Wow……"
Zhang Sheng's mouth was dry, and swallowing hard could not relieve the raging emotions. His heart beat like a drum, and his whole brain was buzzing.
The second serve wins the game.
Gawain, the serve that was missing throughout the game is back! Three consecutive one-shots, all in the zone!
A serve scored directly, a serve attack led to Djokovic returning the ball to the net, and then, an ace.
Three match points.
Three consecutive match points.
The most incredible thing is that after Gawain calmed down, he actually found a way to serve away from home. Three consecutive first serves were excellent.
As a result, Djokovic, who performed well in receiving serves throughout the game, was a little in a hurry. It was very rare that he failed to receive two consecutive serves.
As a result, Djokovic almost dropped his racket, but Djokovic also knew that at a critical moment, he needed to keep his mentality stable, otherwise his attention would easily wander, so he controlled it, but Unexpectedly, Gao Wen responded with an ace to bring out the match point.
Everything is so perfect.
Zhang Sheng, like all the commentators, was stunned.
"...This is Gawain's third ace in the entire match."
"Yes, after five hours of competition, Gao Wen just hit his third ace, but with this ace he got three consecutive match points."
"I have to say that Gawain's serve was like timely rain, appearing at the most important and needed moment."
This is a kind of ability.
Just like Federer at his peak, he improves his condition when needed and uses the simplest way to get out of trouble when needed.
Being able to send ace is very powerful, but it is not the most powerful thing; what is really powerful is having the ace appear at the moment of need.
"40:0".
All this is indeed as beautiful as a fairy tale.
but!
Will Djokovic just surrender?
of course not.
"40:30".
Standing on the edge of the cliff, Djokovic once again showed his championship temperament, hitting two consecutive winning points to save two match points and maintain suspense.
At this time, Djokovic is like a cold-faced killer. Even if he scores or hits a good shot, he will not celebrate and always maintains a calm poker face.
Poker face.
"Killing Mode" is officially on.
The competition is like this. As the leader, when the pursuer is approaching, you can feel the pressure, and then it is easy to lose balance.
Gao Wen realized that he needed to calm down a little, especially since he knew the allusion of "40:15". The intimidation from Djokovic was even more real and clear. Even Federer suffered from such an impact. , isn’t it?
Take advantage of the opportunity to wipe the sweat, take a deep breath to adjust, wipe all the sweat from your palms, turn around and return to the bottom line.
Expression, unmoved.
Second District.
Snapped. Snapped.
Gawain patted the tennis ball, looked up at Djokovic, and then——
Toss the ball!
The body is completely stretched out and the racket movements are completed in one go.
First shot, the speed is 197 kilometers per hour.
In!
Close pressure backhand.
"ah!"
Djokovic's backhand was obviously suppressed, and he let out a roar. He hit the backhand with both hands. You can see that his entire upper body leaned back to get out of the way, once again showing his body flexibility.
However, the quality of the return is still unsatisfactory.
Djokovic tried to go back in a straight line and press deep, so as to destroy Gawain's center of gravity which had no time to adjust after completing the serve.
As a result, the straight line was not completely straight and the landing point was not completely deep. Instead, it entered the sweeping area of Gawain's forehand.
attack!
Gawain showed no mercy.
In fact, the pace adjustment is still not in place, and I can't get to the bottom line in time, so I can't grab the rising point.
But the windmill-style sweep of the racket shows the violent forehands of Federer and Del Potro, who attack directly and unreasonably.
This is also an improvement after hard training this offseason.
boom!
Slashes, deep areas, dead ends.
Gawain's forehand attack immediately swept across the court and flew through the air.
Djokovic is a little embarrassed.
His footwork was very fast, timely and light, but Gao Wen's offensive quality was too solid and excellent, and he still squeezed Djokovic.
squeak!
With a split step, Djokovic bought himself some time and followed up with a sweeping forehand shot, but the thick and ferocious ball quality still suppressed it, forcing Djokovic to take another shot.
pocket!
The soft and delicate touch wraps up the tennis ball and pushes it back to the opposite court.
However--
The shot had just been completed, and every cell in Djokovic's body was ringing with alarms, because Gawain was on the Internet.
Very suddenly!
Very unexpected!
Throughout the game, the number of times Gao Wen took the initiative to go to the net was very limited. Although when he was passively on the net, Gao Wen had already shown excellent touch in front of the net. However, taking the initiative to go to the net is a change in the entire tactical system, but it still rarely occurs. You can see It follows that Sampras needs more time to train.
As a result, Gawain chose to go online at this time?
Match point?
Gawain, are you crazy?
Even Sampras could no longer control himself. His heart was so high in his throat that he couldn't control himself from his chair. His body was suspended in the air, but he didn't notice it at all. He just stared intently at Gawain's technical moves. .
He didn't know that Gao Wen was so bold that he actually took the initiative to go online at the match point; the only thing he could care about now was whether Gao Wen's online skills were solid enough, and whether he could apply the skills in training to the actual game?
Post the net!
Post the net!
Bend your knees, stand on tiptoes, and watch.
Sampras has forgotten to breathe.
In the sight, Gao Wen's footsteps reached the net in a blink of an eye, and he accurately caught Djokovic's pass——
One step up.
Close to the net.
Forehand, volley!
Gao Wen grabbed a rising point with his forehand and intercepted the tennis ball neatly.
straight line!
but!
Too long!
Sampras couldn't believe his eyes. His heart had stopped beating. He opened his mouth wide, grabbed his hair with both hands, and screamed deep in his throat.
Gao Wen was still a little tight, and the volley in front of the net was not able to release all the power, so the volley was too long. It should have been in the shallow area of the straight line, and it must not be off the baseline of the service area; however, it is now close to the baseline, and it is a bit ridiculous. It seems that the control of the racket surface is still not enough.
Djokovic, there is still a chance.
Tap tap tap.
Tap tap tap!
Running wildly sideways, Djokovic turned into a violent wind, and then slid sideways again.
squeak!
His footsteps drew a long white line, and he triggered the backhand with both hands early, pulling it up in advance, and then observed Gawain's stance with his peripheral vision——
small ball?
No, lob!
In the last service game, Djokovic and Gao Wen had just fought in front of the net. Obviously, Gao Wen's touch with the small ball was in good condition.
In addition, Djokovic himself has lost his position. The hitting point is almost an arm's distance above the court ground. The space is limited. Compared with the small ball crossing, the control of the lob ball is more suitable for Djokovic. Wonderful play, and then he did just that.
Djokovic used the power of his wrist to gently lift the tennis ball, high and floating, as graceful as a giant.
Whoosh!
All the eyes of the audience were focused on that tennis ball, and it followed the tennis ball into the starlight of the night sky and disappeared.
At this moment, it seems that the earth has stopped rotating.
