Chapter 1806: Wild Horse



The first set of the game is still going on.

——The sixth game.

“…Ahh!”

Zverev's forehand exerted full force, and the heavy and fast shot crossed the court like an arrow and rushed towards Gawain's forehand.

On the other side of the court, Gawain's footsteps were already in place, but unexpectedly he did not choose to hit the ball, but instead cut in a straight line to break the balance.

The tennis ball was floating and swaying, just like a dead leaf wrapped in the autumn wind falling in the shivering cold rain, without any strength at all; moreover, it was not a small ball, as it could be seen from the line and the landing point that the ball should fall near the large triangle of the baseline, which was a deep shot.

This kind of cutting does not seem threatening at all.

Zverev's movements were light and agile. He arrived at the scene in the first possible moment, bending his knees, lowering his center of gravity, and hitting a backhand with both hands.

Boom! Use your strength, and use your strength again. Use your strength in all aspects.

In the first shot, he actively launched a diagonal attack, aiming at Gao Wen's backhand baseline triangle shot. After a round of sixteen shots, he was ready to strike back and win the point in a winning way.

However--

"Out of bounds!" It was out of bounds again. Although this time it was very slight, just the width of a finger, the eyes of the baseline referee revealed a hint of determination.

There was a hint of irritation and confusion in Zverev's eyes. He subconsciously looked up at the players' box, as if hesitating whether to accept the Hawkeye challenge.

"Shh! Shhhhhh!"

The Arthur Ashe Stadium was filled with boos, which was a way of complaining about Zverev's distrust of the referee and his lack of understanding of his own shots.

In most cases, players have a clear understanding of their own hitting feel, and they don’t even need to wait until the tennis ball hits the ground. They can feel the control effect at the moment of shooting. Of course, a slight mistake that goes out of bounds is a special case.

But Zverev Jr. made three Hawkeye challenges within two games, and each time his shots were obviously out of bounds.

Are they sure they are not just venting their anger or making trouble? To the audience, this is definitely not a good thing, and one or two of them started to make noises and complain.

Zverev also didn't understand why fans booed since the Hawkeye challenge was his right, but he still remained firm in his choice.

Hawkeye Challenge——

It was like a lone hero against the whole world, but this time, Arthur Ashe Stadium and fate seemed not to be on his side.

The final result was indeed out of bounds.

Although the gap was small, out of bounds is out of bounds. Zverev failed all three Hawkeye challenges within two games, which also means that he no longer has any chance of Hawkeye challenge in the first set.

Zverev was very depressed.

The whole audience burst into boos, and the thunderous cheers mixed with whistles and complaints boiled over.

"2:4".

Gao Wen continued to hold his serve and only lost one point in this game.

——The seventh game.

Pop.

With a dull sound, Zverev's return ball hit the net, stirring up a white wave, and gave away the point by going down to the net.

"30:15".

Zverev was a little depressed. He played well in the first two points, but why was his scoring streak interrupted again and this time the ball went into the net?

The rhythm of the entire game and the feel of the shot were like a wild horse running out of control, always lacking something, but Zverev couldn't figure out what was going on. He was still focused, still excited, and still engaged, and there was no special change, but the situation of the game was being overturned bit by bit.

Irritable!

In his chest, one could feel the complicated and turbulent emotions boiling up and down, seemingly on the verge of an explosion point, which could create chaos at any moment; but Zverev managed to control himself in the end, as he did not forget that he had a mission to accomplish in this match.

Not only does he need revenge, he also needs to prove himself.

Take a deep breath.

Remind yourself again to stay focused.

Unexpectedly but understandably, the next point became the best and most exciting point since the start of the game, and the transition between offense and defense was amazing.

In the second zone, Zverev sneaked into the inner corner and used his high-quality serve to successfully seize the initiative and create an offensive opportunity for himself.

However, Zverev's attack was always not decisive enough, giving Gao Wen a chance to breathe. After withstanding the first two attacks, he hit a backhand diagonal "inside-out" shot across the court, instantly reversing the situation, turning defense into offense, and pushing Zverev to the brink of crisis.

At the critical moment, Zverev finally showed his talent, especially in the backhand position. He could carry, top, hit and shoot. No wonder many professionals compared his backhand with Djokovic. His stability and aggressiveness in the baseline confrontation were indeed outstanding.

You come and I go, tit for tat.

Zverev Jr. stood on the edge of the cliff and hit a backhand shot. After withstanding three consecutive attacks from Gawain, he hit a stunning straight shot with his body almost out of position. He reversed the disadvantage under extremely difficult and passive circumstances and brought both sides back to the same starting line.

Five beats.

Ten beats.

Twenty beats.

Thirty beats.

Very, very rarely, on a fast hard court like Arthur Ashe, two players played a round on a clay court.

Moreover, both players had the upper hand and launched consecutive strong attacks, but they were unsuccessful due to the opponent's tenacious and tough defense.

At Arthur Ashe Stadium, there were exclamations.

Then--

Gao Wen unexpectedly cut twice on the backhand, using strong backspin to change the rhythm of the confrontation.

Zverev responded very well, bending his knees, squatting his center of gravity, and pulling and curling the ball from the backhand position twice in a row. Not only did he handle the backspin ball perfectly, but he also controlled the landing point of the return ball to continue to press deep. Even without a counterattack, he always maintained the impact and did not give Gao Wen a chance to attack.

Although Zverev's response deserves applause, it still lacks some highlights and novelties, and ultimately he fell into Gawain's trap.

In the next shot, Gao Wen's footsteps were still in the backhand position. He took a slight step forward, just half a step, but raised the hitting point to a higher level, grabbing the rising point of the next shot. He relied on the rapid swing of his two-handed backhand to fully drive the speed of the racket head, fast and heavy, and attacked with all-out force.

straight line.

It was still Gao Wen who took the lead in changing direction and launching an attack.

Indeed, Zverev used the landing point and rotation to limit Gawain's offensive space, but he forgot one thing. This game was arranged by Gawain. Even if the landing point was deep enough, but lacked changes, it meant that it was still within Gawain's calculations. Some adjustments to the footwork could solve the problem.

Look, Gao Wen not only did not retreat, but also stepped forward to break the balance by grabbing the rising point.

Backhand straight line.

It was like a yang finger, piercing through the entire court.

Then, Zverev was pushed to the edge of the cliff again, but he still didn't give up.

At this time, Zverev showed his tenacity in an extremely passive state. After a stalemate of thirty-six shots, he still moved very quickly.

The tall and strong man took a series of long strides and sprinted, like teleporting, from the left end of the court to the right end, with the fighting spirit deep in his dantian burning.

"ah!"

Forehand, following the direction of sprint inertia, with a swing and a turn of the wrist, Zverev Jr. also showed his talent and ability without showing any weakness.

Straight line, long sword unsheathed——

The excitement continues.
