"ah!"
Wawrinka roared out, and the shouts were still rising.
"Ahhh!"
Clenching his fists, he looked up to the sky and screamed, his sweaty face turned red due to the upwelling of boiling blood, and his eyes burst out with murderous intent.
After saving four break points and finally cashing in on the third game point, at the most critical and important moment, Wawrinka once again showed his superb form, and with a forehand diagonal shot to the outside of the sideline, he slightly turned the tables.
The whole place exploded——
boom!
In the bustling place, the Philippe-Chatier Stadium has collectively stood up. No one can stay in their chairs, no one can hold back their excitement, and no one is willing to miss the madness at this moment.
In this game, Gao Wen completely seized the game, seized the opportunity of Wawrinka's consecutive misses, and launched an aggressive attack starting from the return of serve, which really disrupted Wawrinka's rhythm and made him embarrassed.
However!
In a desperate situation where Wawrinka was almost unable to breathe after encountering continuous suppression on his forehand, he did the splits to lower his center of gravity, and hit a rebound ball with his forehand in a skateboarding posture, which actually created a powerful and sharp effect of machine gun fire——
He opened the angle and swept out a tricky return route to the outer corner of the shallow area. He broke through Gawain's defense like a fairy from heaven and realized the winning point.
crazy!
God!
Wawrinka really played in a superb state. It was definitely not because of Gawain's poor performance. It was really because Wawrinka's return was incredible.
Then--
"5:2".
The score in the fourth set came to the magic number.
After Wawrinka broke Gawain's serve, he struggled to hold serve and won three consecutive games, moving towards the victory finish line step by step.
In fact, when Gawain suffered a break in the previous game, he had already realized the desperate situation. Wawrinka was also able to touch the dawn of victory and his mentality fluctuated, so Gawain immediately seized Wawrinka's swing and launched a counterattack.
However, Wawrinka's performance at the critical moment was indeed impeccable and superior. Even though Gawain had pressed him to the extreme, Wawrinka still found an exit with high morale and escaped again.
No wonder Wawrinka couldn't control himself anymore and roared.
On the contrary, Gawain on the other side of the court looked particularly calm. He was not annoyed, anxious, disappointed or angry, and his eyes remained focused.
If there are viewers who have just turned on the TV to watch the live broadcast at this time and witness this scene, they don’t know why and think that it is Wawrinka who is behind in the score. If he glances at the score, he will probably be filled with question marks; but it can be seen from the side , the pressure Gawain brought to Wawrinka——
Obviously in the lead, it seemed that victory was within reach, but the layer upon layer of pressure caused fear and panic deep in his heart to grow little by little.
Gawain's calmness is not because Gawain has given up fighting, but precisely because Gawain has entered a state of high concentration.
When the game reaches this stage, the role played by technology and tactics is no longer so important. It all depends on the spirit of confrontation and fighting. Now it is purely a contest of wills, a competition of beliefs and a confrontation of momentum. It seems that the outcome is victory or defeat. Already separated, in fact they are completely entangled together.
give up?
How can it be!
Audiences with such thoughts must be watching Gawain's game for the first time, right?
At this time, Gao Wen was completely immersed in this moment, even more focused and dedicated than the Australian Open final.
From the Australian Open final to the French Open semi-finals, although it only took five months, Gao Wen's position has gone from "top ten rookie" to "world number two".
Amid the overwhelming expectations, attention, and doubts, even if Gao Wen always remained calm, low-key, and focused, his mentality still changed slightly quietly; however, in the game in front of him against Wawrinka, who was in a super state, Awakening Gawain's fighting spirit again——
Challenge yourself, challenge your limits, challenge the impossible.
Maybe, he will lose this game; maybe, he can win this battle... He is not a prophet, and unfortunately, he has no ability to predict the future.
But the really magical thing is here. He didn't think about winning or losing the game at all. Instead, he concentrated on the game. What he was thinking about in his mind was not that he was already standing on the edge of the cliff, but how he should play the next serve. , calm and focused as never before.
At least, he can be sure of one thing. He doesn't need a prophet to know that this battle is not over yet.
Quiet does not mean silence.
That belief was burning and even infected the audience in front of the TV.
Pulan crossed his hands and clasped them tightly, and the muscles in his whole body were completely tense. It seemed that if he exerted a little more force, his whole body would fall apart like a sand castle. Even when the two players returned to the dugout, they still could not relax for a full ninety seconds. , so tight.
In baseball games, there is such a dilemma, "two outs in the bottom of the ninth". That is to say, the last batter to appear is all hope. Once this batter is also struck out, the game is declared. Completely over.
At this time, Lu Qian was in the same predicament.
In the fourth set, "2:5" fell behind. In each subsequent set, if you are not careful, there may be a match point, and every point may be the end of the game.
This situation is even worse than the Australian Open at the beginning of the year——
After all, Djokovic had never had a match point at that time. Even in the third set, when Gao Wen fell behind and faced the crisis of three consecutive break points in his own service game, it was not a match point after all.
What's more, Wawrinka, who has entered a super state, is more dangerous than Djokovic, because Djokovic will choose to see the bottom line, but Wawrinka will not, and will directly eliminate all follow-up possibilities with one beat.
A thought is like a seed, taking root and growing wildly.
Pulan couldn't help but shudder, took a deep breath quickly, shook his head hard, and got rid of all the thoughts in his mind, refusing to scare himself, but when he came back to his senses, his palms were still covered with a layer of hot sweat, and he was beating wildly. His heart was thundering above his eardrums, almost bursting.
"Faith, Emily, faith!"
Pulan thought silently.
Close her eyes, take a deep breath, take a deep breath, and force herself to calm down. She needs to believe in Gawain, and she needs to accompany Gawain to fight together.
Opening his eyes again, Plan could see the entire stadium at Philippe-Chartier standing up and shouting. The deafening shouts converged into one, pouring down like a midsummer rainstorm. In the blink of an eye, the entire stadium and even the entire stadium were covered. The whole of Roland-Garros was flooded.
"Bah! Gawain!"
Listen, that is cheering and support——
Indeed, Wawrinka played a wonderful game today, but don't forget that Gawain also gave the best and most outstanding performance. It is precisely because of this that this semi-final lasted for nearly three hours. That's why it's so wonderful and beautiful.
Now, fans and spectators are looking forward to the game continuing, the party continuing, and the carnival continuing, and they haven’t finished enjoying it yet.
So, in a rare moment, the entire audience shouted the same name, forming a mighty storm, and a billowing heat wave exploded directly.
Then, Pulan also released his hands, raised them high, jumped, clapped, and cheered, becoming a part of this tropical storm.
"Bah! Gawain!"
