Step up, hit the ball, apply pressure, and follow the flow to the net.
The entire tactical layout was clear and smooth. On his first count, Gao Wen was very calm and firmly controlled the situation from the moment he served.
But that doesn't mean scoring as Wawrinka won't give up easily.
really!
The moment he saw Wawrinka move faster, all the muscles in Gawain's body became alert, because he knew Wawrinka was ready to fight.
The point is, straight line? Slash? Close?
In the previous point, Wawrinka's straight forehand was caught by Gawain and suffered a break. So in this point, will Wawrinka continue his straight forehand?
Gawain gave up thinking. At such a moment, he chose to trust his own observation and intuition, and focused his attention on Wawrinka. He kept his body tight, stood on tiptoes, and his center of gravity was always in a mobile state.
Then, his pupils narrowed and he caught——
Wawrinka's backhand shot is very concealed. Straight lines and diagonal lines often need to be known at the last moment, but this is not the case for the forehand. Some clues can be caught from the release movement of the racket.
straight line.
Like the serve, the hitting line at the critical moment also chooses to repeat the landing point. In the back-and-forth game, Wawrinka has always been the simpler and rougher side, and his playing style has always been the same.
Pointing your toes to the ground, exerting force on your right leg, your body rushed forward in a straight line.
It was just a big step, and then the body jumped into the air.
For the backhand, there was no way to hold the racket with both hands, so I held the racket with one hand and extended it as far as possible, keeping my eyes firmly locked on the flight path of the tennis ball.
--coming.
The tennis ball is like a rocket. You can deeply feel Wawrinka's burst of power. The force of hunting and hunting raises a cloud of dust and almost explodes.
Closer, closer, then intercepted and collided.
Cut down.
pack.
Gawain's one-handed racket is like a sword flower held by a skilled fencer. You can clearly see the halo of rotation under the racket, and the soft and tough wrist wraps up all the impact of the ball.
Then, cut it out.
Despite this, Wawrinka's thunderous and violent shots can still feel the remaining energy being released. The tennis ball spins at high speed and evolves into a halo of light, like fireflies dancing.
Lightly and nimbly, it crossed the net and fell towards the small diagonal direction.
The world, at this moment, has pressed the pause button.
Wind blows--
On the other side, Wawrinka stopped and turned sharply, his steps slipped and staggered, but he couldn't stop him from starting three times and running at full speed without knowing what he was doing.
Although Gawain's blocking line was good, Wawrinka's strength was too great and the line was too biased, which restricted Gawain's control and could not effectively relieve the force. Therefore, the tennis ball that came back from the block bounced high after landing. It also leaves enough time for Wawrinka to move.
Look, this is the reason why Wawrinka devoted all his strength to break the net with his forehand in the previous shot. Even if the line was seen through, the suppression of power can still cause damage to Gawain's backhand position, and pave the way for his subsequent shot. Come down, it depends on whether Wawrinka can seize the opportunity.
Run, brake, backhand attack——
straight line.
Wawrinka rushed over and before the tennis ball dropped below the net belt, he blocked the shot with a one-handed backhand and aimed at Gawain's straight forehand.
Snapped!
Block and kill back.
Here, Gawain's footsteps landed, and he did not control his body. Instead, he turned counterclockwise according to the inertia of power. After turning 180 degrees, he had already adjusted his direction. He caught Wawrinka's figure in the corner of his sight, and his footsteps were already there. Move sideways to the right one beat ahead.
OK. OK.
Gao Wen was not too anxious. The most important thing in the confrontation in front of the net was to be calm. Only by keeping the brain clear can we make correct judgments.
Continuously small
After finishing the adjustment in small steps, he noticed the angle of Wawrinka's racket, and in a flash, his body rushed out.
Leap across the flight path of the tennis ball, then grab the rising point of the tennis ball to block and smash.
The knife fell from the hand.
boom. Hit the ball.
boom. Landed.
The tennis ball broke through Wawrinka's blockade and hit the space on his right, like fireworks in full bloom——
boom!
Gorgeous, dazzling, and thrilling!
"ah!"
Gawain roared, clenched his fists, and soared into the air.
"Ahhhh!"
Once, again, the fist hammered the chest hard, and all the suppressed and suppressed emotions were released without reservation, roaring at the Philippe-Chatier Stadium, the loud and rolling sound waves lingering in the ears, that heart The heart of a champion is still beating, blooming and burning.
The whole place was boiling——
Wonderful, absolutely wonderful. After saving five match points, Gao Wen seized his first set point and won the fourth set. .
From falling behind "2:5" to winning "7:6 (7)", Gao Wen, who had been suppressed for two whole sets, found his form on the edge of the cliff, and the game returned to balance.
"The game is not over."
"Dear viewers in front of the TV, Gawain said, the game is not over yet."
"After saving five match points, Gawain once again showed us the style of a Grand Slam champion with his unparalleled performance and unbridled inspiration."
"Even on clay, which he is least good at, Gao Wen still struggled with Wawrinka for four whole sets. After four three-hour fierce battles, the semi-final between Gao Wen and Wawrinka is about to begin. Four hours, but Gawain is still fighting, and his desire for victory is still burning."
"Young, arrogant, domineering, and strong, Gawain shows all the characteristics of a top player and uses practical actions to prove his determination and will."
"God, just when we thought this game couldn't be more exciting, Gawain once again proved us all wrong with practical actions. This year at Roland Garros, Wawrinka only lost one set in the previous five games. But now he is about to have a decisive match with Gawain."
"Facing Wawrinka who was in a super state, Gawain was already playing like crazy at the end of the fourth set. He was courageous, tough, smart and focused. What more can we ask for?"
"Listen, the reaction of the Stade Philippe-Chatier at this moment does not lie, let us feel the heartbeat of this stadium together."
The air was burning, and the sound was rolling in, centering on the Philippe Chartier Stadium, spreading mightily toward the entire Roland Garros.
"Bah! Gawain!"
"Bah! Gawain!"
One sound, another sound, no one can be an exception.
The crowd expected a continuation of the action, and then Gawain granted their wish, winning the fourth set in unparalleled, spectacular fashion.
The whole audience paid homage, and one could even clearly feel Roland Garros' heart beating for Gawain.
High fives, chants.
Jumping and shouting.
At this moment, the Philippe Chartier Stadium belongs to Gawain, and even the audience in front of the TV can feel the rolling heat wave coming towards them.
"Bah! Gawain!"
No one is exempt, no one.
Murray subconsciously looked in the direction Djokovic left, and then looked at the TV screen again, looking at Gawain who kept hammering his chest and roaring, passionate and burning wantonly, and the smile at the corner of his mouth could not help but rise slightly. stand up:
Unexpectedly, Gawain actually did it.
The deciding set is here.
