Chapter 1565: Pursuing the Victory



Push off the ground, soar into the air, and strike out——

He turned sideways and unsheathed his sword, all in one go. He suddenly accelerated to break his balance, and without warning, he struck out with full force, crushing the tennis ball with ease.

With a flick of the knife, he scored directly.

Everything happened so suddenly, so unexpectedly and so explosively that the whole audience was stunned. No one, including Istomin, had expected this.

Buzz...

Only the air was burning, and it seemed that one could feel the magma erupting.

Ah. Ah! Ahhhh…

Gawain roared, rising step by step. The endless energy was like thunder from a clear sky, and the rolling air waves swept the entire venue with an unparalleled posture.

Boom! Ahhhh, Sampras raised his arms and shouted, his red eyes filled with murderous intent.

Ahhhh, Jiang Yanyun raised his hands high and jumped three feet high.

Ahhh, the commentary booth went into a frenzy, and one or two of them stood up and slammed the table.

Ahhh, the storm swept across Court No. 2, faces distorted by excitement connected together, and the rolling heat waves released infinite energy.

"God! Gawain did it. Gawain did it again and again!"

"It took Gao less than five minutes to turn the tide from facing match point to turning the tide. Gao only needed one break point for the first time in the match."

"Obviously, Istomin was distracted by the change in the overall situation and was unable to sort out his thoughts. His tactical combination from serving to attacking was a bit sloppy. Gawain smelled the opportunity and seized it firmly."

"One forehand straight shot with a sideways movement was earth-shattering! He broke the rhythm and balance without warning and ended the point in a brutal way."

"And, cash in on the break point!"

"Dear viewers, oh, God, dear viewers in front of the TV, Gawain is leading. This is the first time Gawain has led since the start of the game."

"Next up is Gawain's serve to win the set and he will fight to stay in Wimbledon."

"Wonderful, this is really wonderful!"

Surging, hot, forgetful——

The entire Court No. 2 was in a carnival state. It was crazy, crazy. Everyone was crazy.

Originally, the audience was already drowsy, and a large number of them left early. They came to the scene with extremely high expectations but did not expect to see such a terrible upset. They were extremely disappointed and discouraged.

Of course, there was also merciless cursing.

"I said it before, young people still need more time to grow up slowly."

"Sure enough, all that hype, praise and halo are just traffic bubbles and cannot be trusted."

"No, no, this generation of young people is still not good enough."

"The Big Four are called the Big Four for a reason. These youngsters can't be compared. The gap is too scary."

"Water, water, the ocean is all water. It's still the fifth giant with this performance, haha."

"The performance in the first half of the year was indeed good, but it can't stand the praise. It's getting cocky now."

Each and every one of them seemed to be a prophet, as if they had predicted this scene long ago, and then left the court while shaking their heads and complaining.

Of course, this did not affect the attendance at Court No. 2.

Wimbledon tickets are the most cost-effective.

The 78-pound Central Court ticket allows you to watch all matches except Court One; the 60-pound Court One ticket allows you to watch all matches except Central Court; the 50-pound Court Two ticket allows you to watch all matches except Central Court and Court One.

In addition, the outfield ticket is 25 pounds and can watch all the games outside the Center Court, Court 1 and Court 2.

However, even if you have a ticket for the Central Court or Court No. 1, if you want to watch the game on Court No. 2 or the outer court, you still need to wait at the door. If there are empty seats in the court, the on-site staff will clear the seats in time and then let you enter in order of the queue.

In other words, as long as there are people waiting in line at the entrance of the stadium, no empty seats will be allowed inside the stadium.

Therefore, judging from the television broadcasts, Wimbledon's attendance has always been the highest among the four Grand Slams.

This is what the second court looks like at this moment:

A group of spectators left, but another group came in. Perhaps Gao Wen still needs time to consolidate his audience base, but judging from the popularity of the topic, Gao Wen is undoubtedly at the top of the pyramid. The long queue waiting in front of the entrance of Stadium No. 2 is still eager to watch this game.

Now, Court No. 2 has a whole new look.

"As expected of Gawain, no matter how difficult or dangerous the situation is, never underestimate him."

"Look at Roland Garros. Stan Wawrinka has already entered a super god state, but Gawain still managed to drag the game into a misjudgment. This young man is no pushover."

"It was worth it that I gave up the game on Court No. 1 and came all the way to Court No. 2 to queue for 30 minutes. It was really, really exciting."

The noise, the heat, the bubbling.

The atmosphere in Court No. 2 continued to rise. After waiting and waiting, the game seemed to have finally reached its climax, and my heart couldn't help but feel excited.

In such an environment, it was not easy for Istomin to calm himself down and stay focused.

Finally, Istomin simply covered his head with a towel to block his vision. His voice also became lower in the darkness, and he was finally able to think.

He still has a chance.

Although the changes in the past two games were indeed not satisfactory, he did not fall behind. He still took the initiative and his hand was still hot.

So, what he needs to do now is to put aside distractions, stay focused, and then give it a try in Gawain's serve to see if he can fight his way out. Even if he fails, it doesn't matter, as he can prepare for the follow-up. But what if he succeeds? The situation can be reversed again.

Secretly, Istomin encouraged himself, regained his sanity, and calmed down again.

The fact is just as Istomin thought. He is qualified to be confident in today's game. The last two games were "psychological fluctuations that could end the game but require the final blow", which led to his poor performance. But after a short fluctuation, he calmed down and was still able to perform well.

Take a deep breath.

Take another deep breath.

After waiting for the referee to announce the end of the break between games, Istomin took off his towel, picked up his racket, and walked onto the court with his legs raised high.

Mentally and in good condition, we are fully prepared. Don't forget that Istomin was consistently strong in receiving serve in today's match. His excellent receiving serve did create a lot of pressure on Gao Wen, which in turn magnified Gao Wen's shortcoming of poor ball feel and gained an advantage for himself.

Next, Istomin just needs to continue to be himself.

However, Istomin forgot one thing -

This is Gao Wen's serve game, and he still needs to ask Gao Wen's opinion.

“15:0”, outside corner ACE.

“30:0”, ACE in the inside corner.

“40:0”, ACE in the inside corner.

Before he even had time to catch his breath, Gawain had already delivered three consecutive aces, all at speeds over 200 kilometers per hour, firmly controlling the situation.

Everything happened so fast that the brain didn't have time to react, and then Gao Wen had already got three consecutive points.

However, there are still variables. After all, in the last serving game, Gao Wen had fluctuations when the score was "40:0". So what about this time?

"Game, set, high."

The fourth ACE, the first count, was easily fulfilled.
