Boom!

The whole place exploded.

Gawain’s footsteps were in place, but Thiem’s return was too tricky, accurately pressing the blind spot, relying on the strong topspin bounce to create a misalignment. Even though Gawain was in place, he was too close to the baseline so he had to grab the rebound to complete the touch. As a result, the tennis ball evaded Gawain’s backhand swing because of the outward topspin after landing. In the end—

Gao Wen could only watch the ball and sigh.

Wonderful!

It’s really wonderful!

Gawain was still rushing forward, and because he was sprinting too fast, he couldn't stop and ran all the way out, but he still raised his hands and slapped the racket with his left hand to applaud Thiem.

Ah! Ah! The whole place went crazy.

From the back and forth collision of strong opponents, to the fierce confrontation, to the exciting transition between offense and defense, it was finally Thiem who completed the attack with a bold and crazy attitude, and took the point in his pocket with great momentum. The entire Philippe Chattier Stadium completely lost its mind.

Wonderful, it is really wonderful.

In the first point of the tie-break, the two players teamed up to deliver a "top five" level confrontation, and no one on the scene could remain calm.

At this moment, the audience who missed Philippe Chatrier's live game will definitely regret it.

Thiem clenched his fists, without cheering or shouting, but looked towards the other side of the court with bright and determined eyes, showing his belief in victory.

Even though he was panting heavily, even though he was sweating profusely, even though he had mobilized all his strength in just this round as if he had released all his strength to win, the passion and blood boiling at this moment were enough, and he burst out with great enthusiasm.

Game seven, “1:0”.

Thiem was the first to complete a mini break.

To be precise, this point was not because Gawain played badly, but because Tim played too well, which was a stroke of genius, and finally won this point.

The tit-for-tat atmosphere of the third set continued all the way to the tiebreak and escalated further. The magnified uncertainty made the game even more exciting.

Immediately afterwards, Thiem's ​​offensive touch was hot. He established an advantage through serving, and his subsequent offensive connection was compact and fast. With a forehand straight line and a backhand diagonal line, he held both of his serve points firmly, and both points were completed within three shots. The entire offensive was smooth and seamless.

“3:0”.

From the start of the tie-break, Thiem brought his offensive abilities to full play. Not only was he daring to fight, but more importantly, his offensive touch was hot. Several shots aimed at the sidelines and blind corners were all within bounds. It was indeed as if he was assisted by God, and he established a score advantage in an instant.

However, Gawain was not panicked.

Not to mention that the score seems to be very different, but in fact it is just a difference in serve points; just talking about confrontation, a tennis match is ultimately a kind of balance: strength and weakness are all relative.

Simply put, if Gawain's return ball fails to create enough pressure on Thiem, then Thiem's ​​offense will naturally become smoother and smoother; but if Gawain improves the quality of his return ball to form a restriction or even a counterattack, Thiem's ​​offense will definitely hit a wall, and the game between the two players will continue.

Therefore, there is no need to be anxious or frustrated because of Tim's hot offensive touch. He needs to focus on himself and think about how to improve the quality of his returns.

"3:1", an ace from the outside corner with a reduced force serve.

"3:2", an outside corner serve combined with serve and volley formed pressure, interfered with Tim's return, and created visual pressure, so that Tim's return serve went directly out of bounds and the serve went straight to the winner.

Without bloodshed.

Clean and neat.

Gawain saved his two serve points effortlessly because he saw through Tim's desire to attack. His entire serving position was obviously forward, and he was ready to attack and take risks on both the first and second serves. So Gawain simply seized Tim's offensive psychology and changed his tactics.

Sure enough, it worked immediately.

In fact, until 2018 and 2019, the few seasons when Thiem was in his peak form, his ability to respond on the spot has always been a shortcoming. However, at that time, because he had more competition experience, some of his handling would be smarter, but in essence, he was still very "stubborn".

What's more, in 2015, Thiem is no match for Gawain in terms of calculation and layout.

In a blink of an eye, Gao Wen had gained a firm foothold, narrowed the score gap, and put the pressure on Thiem again.

This is also the charm of the tie-break. Everything is flowing and everything is changing at all times, and it will continue until the moment when the tie-break decides the outcome.

However, Thiem still has the advantage because the next point is his serve.

District 2.

Left? Right? Left? Right? Tim glanced at Gawain, his body swaying gently, his toes jumping lightly to keep his center of gravity agile, his attention highly focused.

Then, push off the ground, throw the ball, and swing the racket——

Outside corner.

Suppressing the backhand from the outside corner of the second zone is a classic tennis routine. Moreover, Thiem was more focused on suppressing Gao Wen's forehand in the second zone today. Choosing to suppress the backhand at this time was a small surprise. He hoped that the classic routine could create enough advantages for himself.

One shot, and it went in.

In the tie-break, Thiem was highly focused and in good serving condition, scoring three consecutive first serves.

190 kilometers per hour.

It's not fast, but the landing point of the outside corner is good, which directly tears the angle apart, and after landing, it relies on external rotation to further widen the angle.

You can see Gawain jumping out directly in your sight.

Move as fast as a rabbit.

With a push and a rush, his upper body was completely extended, and his two hands were stretched to the extreme for the backhand. The entire start, reaction, and counterattack were top-notch. It seemed that he had predicted Tim's outside corner choice in advance and completed the swing in a conditioned reflex.

Then--

A push, a collision, use the force of the opponent to counter it.

Gawain followed the direction of his body and swung the racket back with both hands, hitting the tennis ball back along a diagonal line to the deep baseline on Thiem's ​​backhand side.

As soon as I looked at the landing point, I aimed at the blind spot of the big triangle at the bottom line. Although the blind spot was not completely covered, the direction and landing point were already very close.

Bang! Tim was a little embarrassed. He had just finished serving and his footwork had not been adjusted in time. He was still a little off after a series of small steps. Moreover, the ball was deep and heavy, which further squeezed his swing. Tim was about to fall into a passive position and lose his serving advantage.

But in the tie-break, Thiem was already playing like crazy, how could he compromise easily?

Tim supported his body with his left leg, and relied entirely on the strength of his rotation and arm swing to make a 45-degree rotation and swing the racket in a small space, relying entirely on the strength of his forearm and wrist to complete the push.

Then, at the moment of contact with the ball, he flicked his wrist and forced the racket head to increase its speed.

"ah!"

Make an effort!

The power deep in his Dantian was fully released, and one could even clearly see that Tim's muscles were tense and veins were bulging, like a god descending to earth.

"ah!"

Strength, pouring out——

straight line.

In an extremely passive situation, Tim still chose to force a straight line and once again turned the passive situation into active. A strong burning feeling burst out and filled the entire field.
