Huh!
Handle it with care.
Use softness to overcome hardness.
The tennis ball drew a beautiful and stunning arc, and drew a straight flight path along the sideline, which was so thrilling that the whole audience held their breath.
Tim's whole body was filled with alarm and he started running immediately, running at a 45-degree diagonal line, his acceleration instantly increasing to the limit.
Then, Tim saw the tennis ball lightly pass over the net and fall quickly, as light and agile as a feather, with almost no attachment.
Landed.
Two jumps.
He no longer had any chance, not a single chance at all. He braked from a distance, then lowered his head and couldn't help but smile a bitter smile of regret.
Ah! Shout!
The mountains roared and the sea roared.
The Philippe Chatrier Stadium went crazy again. From the big swings in the previous point to the effortless finish of this point, the rhythm of the whole game was completely different, but equally exciting and thrilling. It was like throwing the entire court into a dryer, with the world spinning and tumbling. Who could refuse?
Tim looked up at the sky, feeling helpless but also a little bit in awe.
It is not difficult to make a short shot. The key point is that they dared to choose such a tactic with such a crucial score and executed it so brilliantly and beautifully.
It's perfect.
Looking up, Tim saw Gawain across the court.
This time, Gao Wen did not celebrate with a fist, but instead showed a big smile and watched Thiem retreat all the way back and return to the baseline to prepare for the next point.
However, that smile, that look, that posture… the whole body was burning with high morale, and it was so refreshing and so unrestrained.
The corners of Tim's mouth also rose, and his fighting spirit burned fiercely. Let them see who will have the last laugh in the first set.
He was already prepared; moreover, he didn't think he would lose.
"10:11".
The game point came into Gao Wen's hands again.
incredible!
Unbelievable! Drop, drop, drop.
The tiebreak of the third set lasted for a full 23 minutes, which is almost as long as a whole set of some hard court matches. The two sides have exchanged courts three times, but the outcome is still a big question mark. This big tiebreak still maintains suspense and is so exciting that it takes one's breath away.
and!
The match had been going on for nearly three hours, and in the tie-break, wonderful shots were still coming one after another. Both players were igniting their own little universes. The tension and excitement spread throughout the Philippe Chatrier Stadium. The brain felt hot and they were immersed in it selflessly.
The blood is burning.
Will the two players continue to be deadlocked until the fourth exchange of venues?
But if you think about it carefully, it doesn’t seem bad. Why do I have a little bit of expectations?
"Tim! Gawain!"
"Tim! Gawain!"
The Philippe Chatrier Stadium began to get lively, with fans coming one by one to cheer for the two players.
The fans who had been waiting in the corridor behind the spectator stands could no longer wait.
They have been standing here for nearly half an hour!
The tiebreaker wasn't over yet, so they couldn't just stand there forever, could they? Moreover, there were still a steady stream of spectators arriving from behind, making the game more and more crowded and lively, like a dam that could overflow at any time.
They are also spectators who bought tickets to watch the game. Everyone has a seat. This is not a concert, so there is no rock standing area. They should be allowed to enter and become part of this exciting match, especially the third set.
Rustling.
The heat wave is rolling.
On the field, the game is still in a stalemate.
Outside the stadium, the situation was similar. The organizers of the event immediately communicated through the intercom. If the tiebreak continues, the audience will be allowed to enter and take their seats when the venue is changed for the fourth time. They will also notify the referee and cooperate slightly to maintain order among the spectators.
The audience crowded at the entrance finally calmed down a little after hearing the news.
The commotion only boiled for a moment, and then calmed down again.
On the court, both Gawain and Tim noticed the surge of spectators coming from the stands, but after waiting for a moment, the referee announced that the game would continue.
The stalemate rhythm of the confrontation has not been broken.
Then, the serve came to Thiem.
District 2.
One shot.
Speed...142 kilometers per hour.

Slow, very, very slow. Even many female players' second serve speed is higher than this value, but it appears in the first serve of male players.
But, obviously, Thiem is not giving up the game.
Close-range backhand pressure with strong side spin.
Gawain was killed unexpectedly.
Firstly, he had never expected that Tim would choose to slow down and reduce power in the first serve. This should be the first time today, which was indeed unexpected.
Secondly, after Gao Wen realized that it was a close serve, he took small steps to adjust his position, but after the tennis ball bounced off the ground, he realized that it had a strong side spin with a tail force.
Originally, Gawain moved to his right side, preparing to catch the ball with his backhand; however, the tennis ball continued to rotate to the right side and continued to go towards Gawain's arms, so that the hitting point was constantly pressed towards his body, causing the space Gawain had prepared for the swing to be compressed again.
Tim, come prepared—
He knew that Gawain would not dodge his backhand, that is, Gawain rarely chose to use his forehand while leaning sideways, especially when receiving serves, he would not shy away from using his forehand or backhand, and would hit the ball with his backhand in an upright manner.
Therefore, Thiem deliberately chose to serve with less force, sneak attack at close range, and then use side spin to create further pressure, thus disrupting the rhythm of the entire game.
Gao Wen exclaimed "I've been fooled".
People have always said that Thiem is an honest man who plays very straight and rarely does any tricks, but this does not mean that Thiem does not have a high basketball IQ. Although Thiem does not have many tricks and tends to play with strength, Thiem has always had his own ideas about the interpretation of the game and the application of techniques and tactics.
Just like now.
Gao Wen had made sufficient preparations, but he was still squeezed. He barely completed a two-handed backhand shot, and his body center of gravity was pushed backwards.
Although the shot was completed successfully, it had absolutely no quality.
Then, the tennis ball flew back——
Diagonal line, back to Thiem's backhand.
Before Gao Wen had time to adjust his center of gravity, he sounded the alarm, because he knew that Tim's backhand would be very easy to handle for his return, both diagonal and straight lines were no problem, and it was very suitable for Tim to exert force. Next, Tim would definitely attack with force.
The key point is, diagonal or straight? There is no clue. With Tim's ability, such a return basically opens up the entire court, and every corner is within Tim's attack coverage.
Danger! Danger! Danger!
Thiem had the upper hand with his unexpected serve tactics, and now the only thing Gao could do was: gamble.
Left side and right side, choose one, 50% chance, bet on one side.
With a push and a rush, Gao Wen didn't even wait for his center of gravity to adjust, he forced his body to start and rushed to his left side.
Backhand, Gao Wen presses backhand.
