Chapter 1462: Relaxed and Free

The wind was still blowing, and the whole world had blurred into a halo.

The end point on the other side of the court is like a cliff, with an endless ocean stretching out as far as the eye can see. No matter how hard you run or how hard you chase, you cannot reach the other side. The vast and long distance makes people feel powerless.

It's like the end of the world.

However.

Gawain was still sprinting.

He wanted to see. If that was the end of the world, he wanted to see what was on the other side of the cliff. He wanted to see what was beyond the end of the ocean.

Stamping the ground, running wildly, sprinting, just embrace the strong wind wholeheartedly.

Hualalalalalal——

That magnificent picture slowly unfolded before my eyes in an incredible way, and then my heart filled up little by little until it almost exploded.

He saw it.

That mustard yellow is blurry and hazy, but it seems like the light from the sky is falling.

Step! Push off the ground.

Step! Brake.

Step! Push.

The adjustment of his steps was smooth and seamless, and he seemed to be able to feel the strong wind surrounding him and turning into waves under his feet.

Although Wawrinka's shot hit the dead corner of the baseline accurately, Gao Wen still managed to hit the ball accurately by predicting in advance and moving at full speed. He even had time to use his peripheral vision to find Wawrinka's position.

Where is he?

Lateral movement, footwork adjustment, and a light center of gravity.

Wawrinka returned to the center of the court. This time it was definitely not a fake move, because his feet had returned to the midfield, he held the racket with both hands, and kept his center of gravity light. It was obvious that he was ready to continue moving to the right.

Forehand position! Wawrinka's defensive strategy is clear at a glance, defending the forehand and being ready to go to the net at any time. This is also the most suitable choice for the situation on the spot, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Because Gao Wen had lost his position and center of gravity, even a diagonal shot might not be able to accurately enter the boundary, so he had basically no other choice.

But...is it really so?

In a flash, Gawain took another incredible step forward, and adjusted his pace while continuing to rush forward.

He leaned forward, extended his arms, and the racket found the rapidly falling tennis ball at knee height. It was as if his center of gravity was thrown into a dryer. The whole world was shaking up and down, but his upper body remained stable. He rushed out with a forehand swing and a flick of his wrist.

Footsteps, turns and other movements are no longer of help. The body has been stretched to the extreme and now one can only rely on the strength of the upper limbs and arms.

The wrist, rolled and pulled.

Like a whip.

From bottom to top, lifting and swinging, the racket head speed is increased to the extreme in a short period of time, and the last push to use the force of the opponent can be clearly seen.

Swoosh! A very, very brief touch of the ball, without even time to blink—

The tennis ball flew out.

At the end of the world, there is a blue expanse, with a vast sea and sky, filled with clear and transparent golden sunlight. The vast sea with fish leaping for fish and the sky high with birds flying completely opens up the vision and takes in everything. At this moment, it is like being the king of the world.

In the very end, only that breathtaking mustard yellow streaked across the sky.

The whole audience stared with bated breath.

Including Wawrinka.

Wawrinka subconsciously moved towards the forehand position, preparing to defend in time, but he was stunned just after taking a step. He turned his head and watched the tennis ball go into the vast world behind him.

straight line.

Gao Wen, in his best condition, threw out a forehand straight line.

Stunning skills! Then.

The tennis ball flies straight along the sideline of the court, from one blind corner to another, from one touch of the edge to another, from inside to inside, making the most of the limited space of the court.

Perfect!

Game point, fulfillment.

From facing the match point to holding the serve, everything happened so quickly, and it only took one game point for Gao Wen to gain a foothold. Not only did he hold the serve, but his momentum also reached its peak.

The entire audience was so shocked that they fell into silence, with only a roar in their minds. Even though they had seen it with their own eyes, they couldn't help but doubt their own eyes.

What did they just witness? All eyes were on Gawain, but Gawain stood up straight without any special expression. He just looked down at the racket and turned it left and right, as if he was checking it.

Nod and purse your lips to show satisfaction.

And then, nothing happened.

He acted nonchalantly and leisurely, as if the point and the game just now were so simple and normal. His nonchalant performance once again triggered the incredible scene just now, and the whole audience lost control.

Boom! The applause was like thunder, like a tsunami, and like a rainstorm, venting down.

In front of the TV screen, Djokovic and Murray subconsciously exchanged glances, were slightly stunned, and the corners of their mouths both raised.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Damn, he got it," Murray said.

Neither of them could hold back and both chuckled.

Although they all knew that Gawain would not surrender so easily, in the end Gawain held his serve in such a way and showed such confidence that he completely reversed the momentum and regained the initiative in the game.

In fact, this was Gawain’s response: He had this ability, he didn’t need to scream, celebrate, or cheer, it was just like drinking water or eating, it was not difficult at all.

Any opponent who sees this scene will probably not be able to remain calm. It may even be more oppressive and impactful than the powerful sound conveyed by a fist-clenching celebration. If you are not careful, the opponent's confidence may be cracked, and he will start to question whether he needs to change his tactics.

Now, it depends on whether Wawrinka can continue to stay calm and composed.

Maybe, Wawrinka really has a hot hand; maybe, Wawrinka really has a big heart; maybe, Wawrinka really is not afraid of difficult situations.

But don't forget that Wawrinka's mood swings and state fluctuations are also objective facts, and he is easily distracted. This is also the fundamental reason why Wawrinka, who had supernatural powers when he was young, was never able to break through that layer of window paper; the ups and downs from last year's Australian Open to this year's Australian Open is also a proof of this.

At the Australian Open earlier this year, although Wawrinka reached the semi-finals, he had almost no chance facing Djokovic again after a year.

So, what now?

"40:15".

Wawrinka held on.

In his own serve-winning game, although Wawrinka lost the first point, he showed his smooth offensive ability again, scoring three points in a row to overtake and successfully got the match point in his own serve game.

And two in a row.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense again. My heart could hardly bear the huge pressure and I forgot to breathe for a very short time.

Even Djokovic and Murray are no exception.

Indeed, this is a match point. But everyone familiar with tennis should know that it is precisely because of the match point and the uncertainty brought about by the fluctuation of mentality that the duel is full of variables and no one can predict it.

really.

One zone, no progress.

Wawrinka felt the pressure, but he continued with his usual style, not stopping or resting, not giving his brain the chance to grow wild thoughts. After a first serve error, he did not adjust and immediately entered the second serve mode.

Push off the ground, throw the ball, swing the racket——

Outside corner, press forehand.

but……

Oops! This is a vegetable ball! Surprisingly!
