Chapter 1837 Within reach
Opportunity!
Belushi started immediately——
Although Gao Wen's response was timely and alert enough, he turned sideways and hit a backslash with his skateboard, making the best choice in a hurry.
But it was squeezed after all, and the quality of the entire return ball was obviously affected. The angle of the backslash was not completely torn apart, and the impact was formed only by relying on rhythm compression.
Bellusic's eyes lit up, and he took a big step and was already in position. He held the racket with his left hand and attacked with his forehand, making a sweeping attack.
Belučić was also racing against time to increase the tempo, shooting as quickly as possible to shorten Gao Wen's defensive time and make full use of the fast hard court tempo; however, the clay factor was still deeply imprinted in his blood, and even when shooting quickly, Belučić still habitually pulled out a spin loop.
The tennis ball drew a full arc and fell diagonally into the deep area of Gao Wen's left half court.
It pressed deep, but still not deep enough; the topspin, with a strong rotation and fast rebound impact, the increase in the entire rhythm did not leave much room for Gao Wen.
At this point, the details still show the difference between clay court players and hard court players——
Gao Wen braked suddenly to control his steps, leaned his body slightly back to the right, and took the initiative to move forward with both hands to grab a rising point.
Bullet strike.
Sweep.
In a passive situation, Gao Wen had no space to swing his racket, and he relied more on the rebound to hit the ball, but the racket face swept across and strongly suppressed the topspin.
Diagonal line.
Return along the same route.
Although there was no change in direction, the speed, power, angle and trajectory of the tennis ball all entered the hard court mode, and it was like a torpedo flying close to the seabed, pressing the net across the court and returning to Bellusic's forehand position with the momentum of breaking through the air.
Bellusic’s footwork was already in place, and with a few minor adjustments he was able to hit the ball smoothly, but the impact of the overall improvement in the quality of the ball was particularly obvious.
Forehand, attack, confrontation, collision.
Belushić did not flinch and charged forward with his forehand, but his speed, rotation, rhythm, power and other aspects all felt the shock wave. Subconsciously, Belushić continued his clay court habits, rolling and lifting, and using his forehand topspin to pull up the parabola again and again.
However, the quality of this return shot declined slightly.
Oops!
Bellusic also realized that his two consecutive forehand attacks failed to achieve the suppressive effect, but instead he gave up the opportunity little by little.
He knew that Gawain would not easily miss it.
Facts have proved that Belusic was right.
Gao Wen immediately noticed the "quality decline" in his forehand topspin for the second consecutive shot. Without any hesitation, he took a step forward and his foot was already on the baseline. His body leaned forward and pressed upward following the forward momentum, and he continued to move forward with a backhand shot with both hands.
For the second time in a row, grab the rising point.
Swing the racket and punch.
All the speed and strength were poured into the backhand shot. The crisp sound of the ball exploded instantly, and the tennis ball had already gone straight into the blind spot at the baseline.
Gawain exerted his strength.
To say it was unexpected, it was not unexpected, because the opportunity had already been created; but to say it was not unexpected, there were some surprises, because Gawain seized the opportunity and attacked boldly, which meant that in terms of tactical layout and game level, Gawain was improving his condition, and the quality of the entire round was quietly improved.
Backhand straight line.
The ball was hit fast and flat enough. Although the power was not fully released, the landing point was very accurate, aiming at a big triangle hammer at the baseline of Bellusic's backhand.
Bang! Then, without stopping, Gao Wen stepped forward to exert pressure along with his hitting action. With his footsteps stomping on the ground, he was already in front of the net in the blink of an eye.
Follow the ball to the net!
Very sudden, but very firm.
While waiting for Belushi to cross the court and arrive, he could see Gawain standing in front of the net like a high wall in his peripheral vision.
Bellusic, a little panicked——
He was not mentally prepared.
Gawain's transition from offense to defense was smooth and seamless, without any warning. Belučić was still upset about the lack of quality in his consecutive attacks, but he didn't expect that Gawain had already entered the offensive mode. With layers of pressure coming at him, he still hadn't realized the change in the situation.
The two-handed backhand return was a little hesitant.
It seems very long to describe, but in fact it is only a millisecond of hesitation, and then you can see Gawain is already standing in front of the net like a goalkeeper. The route through the net is narrowing rapidly, leaving less and less space for Belučić to hit the ball, and he is becoming more and more panicked.
The next second, a backhand straight line shot was made.
However, in a tennis match, any hesitation or delay will be reflected in the result of the shot.
As soon as Belushi made the shot, he realized that the situation was not good because the line was not completely torn open and the speed and power were not fully attached.
As Bellusic was about to step forward to make up for his mistake and switch into defensive mode, he could see Gao Wen’s forehand fully extended in his sight.
One block, one spike.

Forehand, smash.
It hit the ground in a slashing motion, like a cannonball.
Boom! There was no chance for a counterattack at all. Before Belushi could even start, the volley at the net had already ended neatly.
"6:4".
The third set victory belonged to Gao Wen.
Boom! Boom boom boom! The entire Arthur Ashe Stadium was completely crazy. One or two spectators could not control their excitement. The excitement and excitement rushed from the soles of their feet to their heads like an electric current. Their scalps were numb. Before they realized it, they had already stood up suddenly, staring at the scene in front of them with incredible faces.
Who would have thought that Gawain actually did it! Of course, this was not the first time, and it would not be the last time, but it was still shocking to witness such a magical and wonderful scene again.
Language is not enough to describe even one ten-thousandth of the surging thoughts in my mind.
On the court.
Gawain, on the other hand, did not celebrate or roar. He just clenched his fists lightly and looked firmly at Belučić on the other side of the court, his eyes burning with high morale. He was sweating profusely, steam rising from his chest, bathing in the golden sunlight, wrapped in a ball of heat, like a god of war.
One look is enough.
That determination, that belief, that will, bursting out energy from the depths of the soul, moving forward unstoppably, showing one's determination -
The battle continues.
Just this scene in front of us was enough to ignite the passion of the entire audience. The audience members were cheering like crazy in their minds and could no longer control themselves.
Buzz.
There was a roar in my ears, and the huge cheers and applause easily broke through the limit. The exploding heart, numb fingertips, and trembling knees, everything was enjoying the scene that was happening before my eyes.
Wonderful!
nice!
Who could refuse?
So does this mean that the game is back in Gawain mode? Victory is within reach? Bellucci says no.
Although the third set was a painful lesson, as she was far ahead at the start and even had the chance to lead with two breaks, she lost the set in the end. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow; but Bellusic refused to collapse or surrender, and the player continued to play diligently.
He also has his pride and his fight.
