No one knows how Federer hits the ball.
Similarly, no one knows how Gawain completed the second activation.
Everything happened too fast.
In front of the net, there was a hand-to-hand fight, the bayonets were red, and the ping-ping-pong-pong impact had already pushed and pulled the advantages and disadvantages back and forth for several rounds.
From powerfully breaking the net to replaying small balls.
From extreme saves to hitting behind the back.
Then, go to the air volley.
Back and forth, only the sound of hitting the ball, whether light or heavy, fast or slow, travels through the sunlight, weaving a passionate and gorgeous symphony.
And then--
Gawain soared like a goshawk, stretching his body to the extreme, from his arms to his fingertips to the racket, and finally extended all the way to the racket head.
Just before Federer's return shot was about to break through Gawain's blockade, the racket head grabbed the tail of the tennis ball, dunking and pressing it.
Shocking!
boom!
The tennis ball exploded on the ground.
The whole audience raised their arms and shouted.
On the court, Gawain was finally released.
"ah!"
"Ahhh!"
"ah!"
He clenched his fists and roared to his heart's content. His passionate roar ignited the atmosphere of the whole place, and the golden sunshine all over the sky burned with mighty force.
The brain roared.
incredible!
At this moment, all thoughts, emotions, and thoughts are all pressed down on the pause button, and they just fall into a frenzy.
Wonderful!
It's so exciting that it makes your knees weak.
Regardless of whether they are Federer fans, Gauvin fans, or just people who just like me, at this moment, without exception, they fell into madness.
The two players, in this minute, showed all their skills without reservation, including power, spin and layout, baselines, small balls and accidents, games, confrontations and inspirations. They fully demonstrated the charm of tennis. Fully presented, jaw-dropping shots throughout.
In awe!
Even Federer's fans stood up and applauded the two players, sincerely expressing their admiration and admiration.
"Ahhh!"
Gawain looked up to the sky and roared, shouting, and the smile on his lips bloomed, falling into his eyes sparsely, like stars in the sky.
Even though his lungs were burning, his brain was roaring, his blood was boiling, and every cell in his body seemed to be screaming, he was still completely immersed in this moment.
A kind of excitement of battle, a kind of burning of confrontation, life bursts out with endless energy at this moment.
In front of the TV.
Sousa's eyes were filled with tears, and her heart was about to burst. Then, she saw a familiar figure appearing in the camera lens.
"Mom, it's LaWanda!"
Looking up, Sosa saw her mother wiping away her tears, but she couldn't tell whether her own tears were so hazy that her eyesight was wrong.
On the small screen, LaWanda was cheering, jumping and roaring.
"Come on! Gawain!"
"come on!"
Enjoy this moment with all your strength, as if tomorrow is the end of the world.
Broke.
At the most critical, tight and important moment of the deciding set, Gauvin broke Federer's serve. He only needed one break point -
By the way, in the first two sets, Gawain and Federer both won with the advantage of breaking serve.
"5:3".
Next, it was Gawain's serve that won the game. Gawain had one final game to go before a long list of historical records.
but!
Does Federer agree?
Obviously, Gawain also needs to ask Federer's opinion.
For the Big Four, never underestimate their energy in adversity. Even if they lose, they will not give up easily.
"15:40".
Gawain stands on the edge of a cliff.
The reason is rather complicated.
On the one hand, after having just completed consecutive exciting rounds and his nerves were tense to the extreme, it was inevitable that he would feel a little tired, and Gawain's concentration fluctuated somewhat.
Of course, physical strength also plays a role.
On the one hand, the continuous strong wind means that the server needs to pay more attention when throwing the ball, otherwise the hitting point may be deviated.
In this game, the quality of Gao Wen's first serves declined. In the first four points, there was only one first serve, and the other three were all second serves.
Federer immediately keenly grasped the opportunity and put pressure on Gawain's second serve. His aggressive attack put tremendous pressure on Gawain.
One point, then another, the whole process went faster than expected. Before he could gain a firm foothold, he had to face the crisis of two consecutive break points.
Gawain didn't panic.
Make full use of the short sweating time, adjust your breathing and heartbeat, calm down, clear your mind, and then regain your focus and attention.
ACE, "30:40".
A serve attack, two consecutive forehand attacks forced Federer to return the ball without holding it back, and extended the baseline, "40:40".
Federer was a little angry.
I was very dissatisfied with my forehand shot that went beyond the baseline. I cursed a few harsh words and briefly vented my negative emotions.
Regain your composure.
In the past three seasons, the biggest problem that has troubled Federer is "missed break points." Facing any opponent, it is often easy to make undue mistakes or undue decline in game quality at break points, leading to a decline in break success rate. Slip, this is an obvious obsession.
This is also an important reason why Federer gradually fell behind when competing with Djokovic and Nadal, because such game opportunities are often rare, and once missed, they may never appear again.
Two consecutive break points were missed so easily. It's no wonder that Federer, who has always been elegant and calm, was very dissatisfied with his performance.
Immediately afterwards——
A serve with a speed of 210 kilometers per hour forced Federer to directly hit the return ball, and the serve was straight, "AD: 40".
Match point appeared.
At the critical moment, Gao Wen's growth and transformation are clearly visible. Compared with the Australian Open, Gao Wen has fully adapted to his new serving action, and his height advantage of 193 cm has been further utilized. When he needs to serve, he can stand up. time, he can rely on this weapon.
Especially in the windy weather in Indian Wells, when the status of the previous four first serves fluctuated, it was the most rare thing to be able to make adjustments on the spot.
As a party involved, Gawain was not celebrating, but remained focused, thinking about the next point layout——
Match point, how should I play?
Of course, if you can win directly through ACE, it is naturally the easiest and fastest, but the key point is, how should you choose to serve?
Second District.
outer corner.
At the match point, Gao Wen still chose the outside corner of the second area to suppress Federer's backhand, a routine routine.
Sometimes conventional means old-fashioned, but sometimes conventional means classic.
200 kilometers per hour!
Snapped.
As soon as it was sent, it was off the net.
It hit the net belt hard and stirred up a white wave.
oh.
There were exclamations of regret in the stadium, and Federer's fans cheered him on, because the second serve also meant an opportunity.
Gao Wen, my heart is as calm as water——
Strong wind.
It's still windy.
When tossing the ball, due to the influence of the wind direction, the hitting point was slightly lost, by just a millimeter; moreover, Gao Wen still wanted to create more pressure with the first serve, so the force and speed of the downward pressure were a bit harsh, and in the end it was It hit the mesh belt.
At this point, it can be seen that in the last game, the psychological confrontation between the game and counterattack still has an objective impact.
But Gawain is not surprised. All these deviations are normal and he needs to face them calmly.
Second serve.
Next, attention should be focused on the layout of the second serve.
