Chapter 1102: Graceful and Swimming Dragon

No one knows how Federer actually hits the ball.

Likewise, no one knows how Gao Wen completed the second start.

Everything happened so fast.

In front of the net, the two sides engaged in close combat and the bayonets drew blood. In a flash, the ping-pong collisions had pushed and pulled the advantages and disadvantages back and forth for several rounds.

From a strong break through the net to a replay of the small ball.

From extreme saves to behind-the-back shots.

Then, move to the mid-air interception.

As the ball goes back and forth, only the sound of hitting the ball, sometimes light, sometimes heavy, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, travels through the sunlight, weaving a passionate and magnificent symphony.

And then——

Gawain soared like an eagle, stretching his body to the extreme, from his arms to his fingertips to the racket, and finally all the way to the racket head.

Just before Federer's return was about to break through Gawain's blockade, the racket head grabbed the tail of the tennis ball and smashed and pressed it.

Shocking!

Boom! The tennis ball exploded when it hit the ground.

The whole audience cheered.

On the court, Gawain was finally released.

"ah!"

“Ahhhh!”

"ah!"

He clenched his fists and roared loudly. The passionate roar ignited the whole audience, and the golden sunlight all over the sky and the earth burned vigorously.

The brain is buzzing.

incredible!

At this moment, all thoughts, all emotions, and all ideas are paused, and I just fall into a frenzy.

Wonderful!

So exciting that it makes you weak in the knees.

Whether they were fans of Federer, fans of Gawain, or just spectators, at this moment, everyone went crazy without exception.

In this point, the two players displayed all their skills without reservation, including power, rotation, layout, baseline, small balls, surprises, games, confrontations and inspiration. They fully presented the charm of tennis in all aspects, with amazing and jaw-dropping shots throughout.

In awe!

Even Federer's fans stood up and applauded the two players, expressing their admiration and praise sincerely.

“Ahhhh!”

Gawain raised his head and let out a long howl. As he shouted, a smile blossomed on the corners of his mouth. Sparse stars fell into his eyes, like a sky full of stars.

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 fighting passion, a kind of burning confrontation, life, at this moment, bursts out with endless energy.

In front of the TV.

Sosa, with tears in her eyes and a heart that was about to explode, then she saw a familiar figure appear in the camera lens.

"Mom, it's Lawanda!"

Looking up, Sousa saw her mother wiping away tears, but she couldn't tell whether it was her own tears that blurred her vision and caused her to see things wrong.

On the small screen, Lawanda was cheering, jumping and roaring.

"Come on! Gawain!"

"come on!"

Enjoy this moment with all your might, as if tomorrow is the end of the world.

It's broken.

At the most critical, tense and important moment of the final set, Gawain broke Federer's serve. He only needed one break point.

By the way, in the first two sets, both Gawain and Federer won by virtue of a break point advantage.

"5:3".

Next, it was Gao Wen’s serve to win the match. He still had one last game to go before reaching a long list of historical records.

but!

Does Federer agree?

Obviously, Gawain still needs to ask Federer for his opinion.

For the Big Four, never underestimate the energy they can unleash in adversity. Even if they lose, they will not surrender easily.

"15:40".

Gawain stood on the edge of the cliff.

The reasons are rather complicated.

On the one hand, after having just completed a series of exciting rounds and having his nerves stretched to the extreme, Gawain was inevitably a little tired, and his concentration fluctuated.

Of course, physical strength also has an impact.

On the one hand, with continuous strong winds, the serving party needs to be more careful when tossing the ball, otherwise the hitting point may deviate.

In this game, Gao Wen's first serve quality declined. In the first four points, there was only one first serve, and the other three were second serves.

Federer immediately seized the opportunity and repeatedly put pressure on Gawain's second serve. His aggressive attack put Gawain under tremendous pressure.

One point, then another, the whole process was faster than expected. Before he had time to gain a foothold, he had to face the crisis of two consecutive break points.

Gawain was not panicked.

ACE, "30:40".

A serve and two consecutive forehand attacks forced Federer to return the ball, which failed to hold and went out of bounds, "40:40".

Federer was a little angry.

He was very dissatisfied with the fact that his forehand shot went out of the baseline, and he cursed a few times to vent his negative emotions briefly.

Regain your composure.

In the past three seasons, the biggest problem that has troubled Federer is "missing break points". Facing any opponent, he is prone to making unnecessary mistakes or declining ball quality on break points, resulting in a decline in his break success rate. This is an obvious problem.

This is also an important reason why Federer gradually lost the upper hand when competing against Djokovic and Nadal, because such game opportunities are often rare, and once missed, they may never appear again.

He missed two consecutive break points so easily. No wonder Federer, who is always elegant and calm, was very dissatisfied with his performance.

Then——

A serve at a speed of 210 kilometers per hour forced Federer to hit the return ball directly into the air, and the serve went straight to the winner, "AD: 40".

Match point has arrived.

At the critical moment, Gao Wen's growth and transformation were clearly visible. Compared with the Australian Open, Gao Wen has fully adapted to his new serve action, and his 193 cm height advantage has been further utilized. When he needs to serve, he can rely on this weapon.

Especially in the strong winds in Indian Wells, it was most rare to be able to make adjustments on the spot after his first serve performance fluctuated in the previous four rounds.

As the person involved, Gao Wen did not celebrate, but stayed focused and thought about the layout of the next point.

How should you play match point? Of course, if you can win directly with an ACE, it is naturally the easiest and quickest, but the key is how to choose the serve?

District 2.

Outside corner.

On the match point, Gawain still chose the outside corner of the second zone to suppress Federer's backhand, a conventional tactic.

Sometimes, conventional means old-fashioned, but sometimes, conventional means classic.

200 kilometers per hour!

Pop.

One shot, and the net is down.

It hit the net belt hard, stirring up a wave of white waves.

oh.

There were exclamations of regret in the stadium, and Federer's fans cheered him on, because the second serve meant an opportunity.

Gao Wen, calm as water——

Strong wind.

It is still windy.

When tossing the ball, due to the influence of wind direction, the hitting point was slightly off, just a hair's breadth; moreover, Gao Wen still hoped to create more pressure with the first serve, so the downward force and speed were a bit fierce, and finally it hit the net.

It can be seen at this point that in the last game, the psychological confrontation between game and counterattack still has an objective impact.

But Gao Wen was not surprised. These deviations were all normal and he needed to face them calmly.

Second serve.

Next, attention should be focused on the layout of the second serve.
