Kick off the ground, your left leg goes deep into the ground like a foundation, firmly supporting your body. The explosive force extends from the sole of your foot to your ankle, all the way up your calf and thigh. You can even hear a banging sound, and the strength in your waist and abdomen is firm. Control your center of gravity and keep your body balanced in the storm.
Because there was insufficient space to hit the ball, but Gao Wen chose to take risks, it was crucial to keep his center of gravity stable, and his muscles throughout his body were completely tense.
"Hah!"
With a low cry, he quickly struck out with a backhand with both hands, slow in front and fast in back, deliberately delaying the shot for a beat, which not only undermined Istomin's judgment, but also waited for a more suitable timing to hit the ball.
Then, seize the fleeting gap——
Take action!
Whoosh, whoosh whoosh, in an instant you can feel the buzzing sound of the breeze passing through the string, and the speed of the racket head increases to the extreme, with each collision and swing.
boom!
The tennis ball has flown out.
straight line!
A straight, straight line, going against the wind along the edge.
The entire audience, whose breaths were cut off, stared dumbly at the tennis ball, crossing the entire court, and finally landing in the deep baseline area of Istomin's forehand position.
It landed, rebounded, and hit the bottom line baffle. A muffled sound, like thunder, exploded above the eardrums.
Hum, the air is rippled, and the stormy waves are waiting to be released.
Istomin's prediction was completely wrong. His footsteps were nailed to the spot and he could not move. He watched the tennis ball fly back in a daze, but he was looking at him from a distance across most of the court. His brain stopped spinning and he was unable to make a judgment at all. There were only constant questions. Satisfied, almost bursting.
Subconsciously, Istomin turned to look at the linesman——
In this game, Gao Wen has been trying and fighting. The entire batting routine is distributed throughout the field, but unfortunately, mistakes account for the majority, which also makes Gao Wen's offense unable to bring any substance to Istomin. The pressure allowed Istomin to play his own rhythm.
So, what about this time?
Out of bounds, or in bounds?
Thousands of eyes in the audience were looking towards the linesman. No one was exempt, and they even forgot to breathe.
You can faintly hear the sound of the air burning.
Before he had time to realize that he had become the center of attention, the linesman gestured very resolutely, with the back of his hand facing up and his hands together:
within bounds.
One second, two seconds——
ah!
A roar was shocking.
It feels like diving underwater, quiet, gentle, and completely still. There is only the sound of gurgling water gently surging above the eardrums. However, due to the extension of the diving time, the pressure swarming from all directions is less. A little is stacked on the eardrum, so that the heart can feel the weight, compressing, compressing, and compressing again, as if the whole world is slowly shrinking.
Time stands still and space narrows.
Then, the oxygen in the lungs is slowly depleted, and even the light and water flow begin to enter slow motion mode, and everything slows down.
Until... breaking through the water, bursting the bubbles, and the colorful colors and turbulent noises were released from all directions like a downpour.
It was so turbulent and so majestic that the whole world was roaring.
Gawain clenched his fists, looked up to the sky and roared——
"Ahhh!"
He didn't give up, he was still fighting, still fighting, still burning.
"Ahhh!"
He was dissatisfied, angry, irritable, and very, very upset about the state of his game. This was definitely not the performance he should have performed, and it was definitely not the performance he should have performed when he stepped onto the Wimbledon stage for the first time. Compared with anyone else, He is the guy who has the strictest requirements on himself.
"Ahhh!"
Despite this, he still refused to surrender, still believing that he could find a way to win.
give up?
Absolutely not possible.
Roaring, roaring, breaking through the restraints, those eyes were burning with murderous intent. He didn't release it when he saved the match point, and he didn't release it when he won the game point again. He suppressed it again and again, and finally released it after struggling to hold serve.
Immediately afterwards——
Sampras was the first to stand up with clenched fists, constantly waving his fists, roaring one after another, repeating the shout over and over again.
"Come-On! Come on! Come on!"
boom!
The whole place thundered.
Boom boom boom, boom boom boom...
It can be clearly seen that everyone in the entire No. 2 Stadium has stood up, chanting, roaring, and shouting. The ferocious and twisted faces are burning with Gawain's emotional release, with surging passion. In the blink of an eye, it was everywhere in the stadium.
Obviously, people still expect Gauvin to win. Compared with the unknown Istomin's upset victory, the audience who came to Court No. 2 still hope to see Gauvin deliver a wonderful victory, just like Melbourne The park is the same as Roland Garros.
Although the game process completely exceeded people's expectations, after going round and round, the audience still got their wish to see the classic Gawain.
Standing on the edge of the cliff, the champion's heart is still beating and still releasing, trying every means to continue the game and refusing to give up and fight to the end.
It is truly a pleasure to witness such a miraculous moment at the scene, where the excitement and excitement are fully released without reservation.
"...The game is not over. Audience friends, the game is not over!"
"God!"
“Although Istomin was trying to complete the most important victory of his career, Gauvin said no and got back on track with an unparalleled performance, missing three game points, saving a match point, and finally it was Gauvin who finished Holding serve, the score in the third set was evenly divided again.”
"After completing a crucial serve, Gao Wen once again put the pressure on Istomin."
"Moreover, in this game just now, Istomin held match point and had hoped to end the game directly, but the victory passed by his fingertips and was further away. It is foreseeable that the mentality of both players should face subtleties. The fluctuations may play an unpredictable role in the next few rounds.”
"Now, it depends on who can stay focused and steady under pressure, and the game will enter a new situation."
"Wow, incredible!"
"Maybe it's hard to believe, but the fact is that this game finally started to get exciting until the third set."
——"5:5", in the third set, it was a draw. No one could break serve, so the two sides would continue to struggle.
Next, without a break, Istomin will continue to serve.
However, as the narrator said, the situation has changed subtly——
A misalignment of a match point and the ups and downs of mentality will have an unknown impact. The momentum and state of the two players are quietly changing positions.
At this time, the impact of mental state on the game is further magnified.
It is bad news for Istomin to have to serve directly without a break between sets. Now it depends on his ability to stay focused and maintain his condition in the chaotic situation. As long as he can continue to serve, he will be able to stand firm. Heel, the situation of the game will return to balance.
"30:0".
Istomin scored two points first.
It can be seen at this time that Istomin is still confident in this game. Although he missed the match point, the confidence built throughout the game helped him quickly gain a foothold.
