"Oh, well... the whole game situation is a bit weird right now."

"Gawain is not the Gawain we are familiar with; of course, Tsonga is not the full-fire Tsonga either. The rhythm of the round has been disrupted."

"Obviously, Gao Wen was troubled by injuries, especially on his backhand. He could hardly exert force. More than 70% of his shots were cuts, and the other 30% were basically light hits or pushes. He basically lost his ability to counterattack from his backhand, which completely overturned Gao Wen's entire tactical layout for the game."

"As a result, there are also some effects on mobility. It seems that the core muscles are still afraid to exert force. The accuracy of forehand attacks has also declined."

"That's why Gao Wen has been thinking about solutions, how to gain precious breathing space for himself by controlling the rhythm and landing points."

"Now, Gao Wen is almost dragging half of his body to compete. It is very difficult, very, very difficult."

"This kind of game is a torment for the audience, and also for the two players."

"Tsonga has been trying to stay focused and engaged, but it's not easy. When the opponent's rhythm changes, the whole confrontation changes. Gao Wen's line and landing point selection change, and the rotation and power are different, which makes trouble for Tsonga's shots."

"The confrontation did not lead to a stalemate."

"It's also a test for Tsonga."

"There is no doubt that Tsonga has the upper hand now, absolutely the upper hand, but he must stay focused and go all the way to victory; but if he starts to waver, can't seize the opportunity, but instead makes mistakes, then the game will be very difficult, after all, Gawain is still on the court."

"Ah, this kind of competition is indeed difficult."

In the commentary booth, the voices and words of the commentators also became a little hesitant and uncertain.

Injury is indeed the biggest enemy of competitive sports.

Even as a spectator witnessing such a scene is equally tormenting, let alone the person involved?

The game was completely broken apart, which was heartbreaking.

…

"'Love-game', oh, no suspense, Tsonga easily holds serve."

"From this game, we can see that Gawain's attacking phase is obviously different. He hardly puts pressure on Tsonga. He can counterattack as soon as he hits the ball and then turn the situation around."

"Originally, this was Gawain's specialty, but now Tsonga has found his rhythm too."

"This should be the easiest time for Tsonga to hold serve since the start of the tournament."

…

"The whole audience is cheering for Gao Wen."

"From the video, we can see that Gawain was sweating profusely and looked very uncomfortable. His physical strength and energy consumption increased significantly. Every shot was a test for him, but Gawain still persisted and did not give up."

"'15:40', following the last serve, Gao Wen's serve will be tested again."

Boom! The whole audience burst into thunderous applause. The mighty sound swept over. Figures stood up one after another, covering their mouths in disbelief and looking shocked.

"Served successfully!"

"It's incredible that Gao Wen saved three break points and held his serve."

“Wow.”

"Wait...whoa!"

“It’s amazing!”

"How on earth did Gawain do it?"

…

In fact, the game is not good-

Because the round didn't really get going, the whole rhythm seemed very weird, accompanied by a lot of mistakes, and there were no surprises as expected.

Disappointing even.

Obviously, Gawain was plagued by injuries and was almost unable to hold on. It seemed that Tsonga could easily win the victory, but at the critical moment, Gawain was always able to come back to life, from tactical layout to rhythm changes to on-the-spot response, turning the tide and resolving crises time and time again.

On the one hand, in Tsonga's serve, Gawain found it difficult to confront him and occasionally took advantage of Tsonga's mistakes to get a point, but that was all. Tsonga, who had the advantage of serving, became more and more powerful.

On the one hand, in Gawain's serve, Tsonga always had the upper hand, but after getting the break point, the situation was always overturned. He was just one step away from breaking the serve but was always unable to do so.

From the description, it seems to be an ups and downs and exciting game, but in fact, the fragmented game makes people drowsy.

If it doesn't look good, it doesn't look good. There's no need to hide it.

At the scene, audiences have left one after another——

This is the first time in Gao Wen's career.

Although it is disappointing, we have to admit that this is the reality.

Firstly, the competition is not exciting; secondly, it is really painful to see the players continue to persevere despite being injured.

It was a wise choice to leave the court.

but!

In the eyes of the commentator, the game can be interpreted in a different way.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"……Wow."

"Again and again, Gawain did it, for the fourth time in a row."

"Gowan faced a tough test of break points for the fourth consecutive service game, but he saved all the break points and successfully held his serve. In the third set alone, Gowan had saved 13 break points."

"incredible!"

“Unbelievable!”

"Also, we need to note that in the previous game, Gao Wen saved the break point with a serve and won the serve with an ace."

"If I remember correctly, this should be the first time Gao Wen served an ace since the eighth game of the second set. Nearly 40 minutes have passed."

"I have to think of the Australian Open final at the beginning of the year. The more crucial and difficult the moment, the more Gao Wen was able to inspire his fighting spirit and give his best performance, including serving."

"In the second serve game of the final set, Gao Wen got the match point by hitting an ace. In the whole match, Gao Wen only hit three aces in total."

“It is still the same now.”

"Indeed, the injury had a very serious impact. Gawain had been trying and adjusting, constantly restricting him through rhythm, but Tsonga's mistakes at critical moments gave Gawain some breathing time. The easy volley at the net on the second break point in the seventh game went out of bounds, which was a turning point."

"Now, Gao Wen has slowly found his rhythm after his injury, and has also regained his composure and confidence."

"The ace is the best proof that he is getting better at his serve, which means he may attack Tsonga's serve."

"The situation is slowly changing."

"Although Tsonga still has the upper hand, Gawain is launching a counterattack step by step."

"Gawain is not ready to give up the game, nor is he ready to surrender. To be more precise, he still longs for victory."

“Wow!”

Slowly, slowly, the pain completely disappeared -

Gao Wen was not sure whether his injury had healed or he had temporarily forgotten the pain after devoting himself to the game. When he ran and concentrated on hitting the ball, although his hitting action was still restricted, he gradually forgot about it and the game took on a whole new look.

Focus. Commit. Immerse.

On the court, Gawain's moving figure became light again, covering the entire court. Even when facing a crisis, he handled it with increasing confidence.

Only in the brief moment after the shot, the soreness, swelling and stretching still reminded him: take care of your body.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, the heart is still beating and the blood is still boiling.

Take a deep breath, the battle continues.
