Forehand position, blind spot——
Accurate prediction.
But Gawain still had no room to breathe. Although Nadal was in poor form and the lack of details led to a decline in offensive effectiveness, the pressure of classic routines still existed objectively, like an overwhelming tidal wave.
Gawain barely managed to cross the court when he arrived and swung his racket out with his forehand, from bottom to top, circling his head, with a strong topspin of the long sword unsheathed. The full and graceful swing of the racket made the whole audience exclaim.
"Na style head-around swing."
Gao Wen is using Nadal's famous skills to complete the forehand save!
Of course, Nadal is special, and no one can copy his shots, including Thiem and Gawain. The same swing may not necessarily produce the same shot effect, but at least the purpose is the same.
In an extremely passive situation, he completed the defense with a forehand topspin diagonal move.
The tennis ball drew a thrilling arc and rushed back towards the blind corner of Nadal's backhand baseline, but the control accuracy was slightly off and it did not completely enter the large triangle area, giving Nadal space to counterattack.
Nadal's steps were a little heavy. Although he had passed the peak of his physical strength, now was not the beginning of the game after all. After three hours of fierce battle, his physical function inevitably declined.
So, Nadal tried to hit a backhand straight line, but because he was short of half a step, the hitting point was a little late, and in the end the straight line was not completely straightened, leaving a little breathing room.
Gawain didn't miss it.
The feet are in place quickly, and the racket is led early with both hands for backhand, and the body is thrown out with the help of the inertia of movement, and then a push and a stroke are hit to produce a straight line.
Straight to. Straight to.
Moreover, Gao Wen's shot control was more careful, and the landing point went further into the blind spot of Nadal's backhand baseline, and the impact and squeezing went further.
Layer upon layer, rushing towards us——
Nadal obviously felt the pressure. There was no problem with his footwork this time, but the speed of his two-handed backhand swing was suppressed, forcing Nadal to take the initiative to exert force on the backhand and launch a counterattack in the defensive position.
"ah!"
Swing, explode, release.
Nadal saw that Gawain was moving to the right to defend his forehand, and he obviously judged that it was highly likely that Nadal would choose a diagonal shot after being squeezed on his backhand. After all, with Nadal's personality, he still tends to continue the tug of war and accumulate his advantages through round balls.
Nadal's matches are often not straightforward and clean, he tends to accumulate advantages through rounds and then make the final decision with one final blow.
But this does not mean that Nadal will not change his formation.
At this point, he was severely exhausted, his opponent was aggressive, and he was in deep crisis. He no longer had the upper hand in the long round of multi-shot tug-of-war, so when he saw an opportunity, he had to act quickly, otherwise it would be gone in a flash.
then--
Backhand, straight line, deep zone, hammer.
For the third consecutive shot, Nadal and Gawain's returns flew in a straight line.
The difficulty of control is beyond imagination, but both players showed top level in backhand position at this time. No matter whether they were using the opponent's force or actively exerting force, the line, landing point and rotation control of the return ball were all top-notch.
Moreover, Nadal exerted his strength.
Danger.
Danger danger danger.
Gawain could clearly feel the gasps of surprise from Philippe-Chartier coming from all directions. The goose bumps on his skin were screaming, and his heartstrings, which were stretched to the extreme, were burning.
Nadal, as expected of Nadal, showed perfect courage and execution at the critical moment. It was not only sudden but also efficient, turning the situation around in an instant.
But Gao Wen was not panicked, he was even a little excited.
A kick and a rush.
His body stopped and turned suddenly, leaving only a trace on the right side before rushing to the left side; moreover, he had already thought of a response plan just as he started, and he started to lead the racket with both hands in the first place.
step.
Two steps.
Then, using the momentum of the sprint, throw your body out directly.
Step forward.
Press forward.
There is no room for the feet to step forward to grab the rising point, but the body tends to move diagonally forward, and all the weight, speed and strength are pushed forward, and the swing action clearly moves forward.
Rob.
When you are unable to move forward, use other body movements to grab a beat, concentrate all your strength and pour it out.
Bump! Swing! Move, clean and simple.
Everything happened too fast——
Blink a little and you might miss it.
Gao Wen put all the weight and strength of his whole body into the swing action, completing the rotation movement in the manner of standing on one leg, and swinging the racket completely out.
Slash.
Hammer.
Thunderous.
In an instant, you can feel the momentum of thousands of troops galloping and the floodgates opening to release the flood.

Boom! Boom! Thunder rumbled, and the tennis ball tore through the court like a flash of lightning.
On the other side of the court, Nadal was running at full speed. His high-speed flying figure turned into an afterimage, dragging a surging air wave on the red clay, erupting with a surge of energy like Mars hitting the Earth.
Concentrated and fearless, Nadal rushed to the forehand position without reservation.
Push off the ground, slide, and stretch.
Nadal's trump cards have all been displayed, his eyes are filled with determination, and one can even see the brilliance of his soul burning brightly.
However, it is not enough, after all, it is not enough.
Brush Lala.
Dust was flying and waves were surging. Nadal's sliding step had been extended to the extreme, but it was too late. He watched the tennis ball slide past one step in front of him like a shooting star.
Landed.
Explosion.
Score.
The whole audience was stunned.
Gao Wen's shot was not only sudden but also bold. He actually aimed at Nadal's forehand and launched a full-scale attack, breaking through Nadal's strongest point. The most important thing was that he was firm and courageous, sharp enough and heavy enough.
The final word can turn the tide.
From Nadal's comprehensive layout to Gawain's vigorous counterattack, to Nadal's shift from defense to offense, and finally to Gawain's powerful move to end it.
Violent yet cool, smooth and wanton.
There was a roar in my mind——
It's broken.
At the end of the third set, Gao Wen broke the serve again, overtook the score, and was about to serve to win the set.
The game was great, really great.
The next second, the entire Roland Garros was plunged into a storm of frenzy.
Cheer, scream, jump, and enjoy this crazy moment with all your strength.
huff huff.
Nadal's chest was heaving rapidly, he felt lost and sad, an indescribable confusion flashed in his eyes, even though he tried his best to conceal it, he still couldn't help revealing a bit of confusion and uneasiness.
huff huff.
Gawain was breathing heavily. He no longer had the energy to celebrate. Every bit of energy was precious. But he still stood there, quietly gazing at Nadal across the court with admiration.
In the competitive sports arena, how should we correctly express our respect, admiration and worship for our idols?
Give it your all, and then, beat him, honorably, passionately, and without reservation.
