A diagonal line, a back ball, repeated landing points, and a flat sweep, the entire horizontal space of the court was pierced by a ray of light and exploded after landing.

The whole audience was boiling.

Wow! The excitement and clamor of Arthur Ashe Stadium was clearly reflected in every face and every pair of eyes. The whole audience stood up and cheered, without exception.

"Wonderful!"

“Excellent!”

"Gambling and confrontation, calculation and attack, every shot is full of hidden dangers. From the serve, the two players' atmosphere of confrontation has begun and lasted throughout. In just four shots, every shot is like dancing on the edge of a knife. Among countless possibilities, the final collision produces incredible sparks."

"Wonderful!"

"Federer attacked beautifully, Gawain fought back beautifully, both players showed top level on the offensive end, it was definitely a feast."

Zhan Jun only felt his scalp tingling, and shivers one after another, jumping up from the soles of his feet all the way to the top of his head, and his adrenaline exploded.

"3:1", Federer takes the lead.

"3:2", Gao Wen caught up.

In the first set, the game returned to a balance in a blink of an eye. Both players had opened up the game and their condition reached a new level, making the confrontation extremely exciting.

Everyone was looking forward to a peak showdown, but from the fourth to the fifth game of the first set, the climaxes were endless and the Arthur Ashe Stadium was simply in a frenzy.

And this is just the beginning.

Next, the strong clash continued. From the serving game to the receiving game, both players were on edge and did not slack off at all. Now was not the time to cherish their physical strength and energy. A tit-for-tat battle of momentum was continuing and both players did not give in at all.

Hold serve. Hold serve. Hold serve. Hold serve. Hold serve.

For four consecutive games, wonderful shots came one after another. Although both players got some opportunities in the opponent's serving games, the serving side performed better this time and saved all the serves without any danger. The tense and exciting scenes followed one after another, and the first set made the scene crazy.

"5:4".

At this time, the pressure quietly came to Gawain, not only because Federer, who served first, had the advantage, but also because of his own severe consumption.

To be precise, the past six games maintained high quality, high intensity and high frequency. Both players were very exhausted. There was a crisis in almost every serving game. Even if there was no break point, there was at least a "30:30" stalemate. Any slight slackness could ruin the situation in the first set.

Naturally, as the game progresses, the consumption becomes more intense and the pressure becomes greater.

In the ninth game, Federer successfully held his serve after two deuce tests, and the Swiss king finally roared out to cheer himself up.

As a result, all the pressure was poured onto Gao Wen.

really--

Whether it is Gawain or Federer, both players are masters at grasping the context of the game and interpreting the situation of the game. They both realized that there might be variables in this game. Even though their physical strength and energy declined slightly, they still gritted their teeth and stayed focused, continuing the intensity of the confrontation.

"30:40", Federer relied on a signature forehand straight shot to hit the line, forcing Gawain's two-handed backhand counterattack into the net, and took the lead in getting the break point and set point.

"40:40", Gawain remained calm, and after serving the ball from the inside corner, he used two consecutive forehand attacks to create an angle, and then used a small forehand diagonal shot to directly pull Federer's feet out of the doubles line. He followed the ball to the net and made a clever interception in front of the net, bringing the point to an end.

Back and forth.

You chase me and I chase you.

Gao Wen missed a game point and Federer missed two break points. The two players were tied for the third time and the single game time exceeded five minutes.

The tension continues, and both players have already given top performances.

The next second——

"ah!"

“Ahhhh!”

Without warning, Federer returned serve and volleyed, and "SABR" made its debut on the semifinal stage, and at an unexpected time.

Gawain admitted that he had not expected it, absolutely not expected it, there was no sign or warning, he was caught off guard.

Federer went to the net and hit a half volley to block Gawain's serve. Gawain hurriedly hit a two-handed backhand in a straight line, but it was blocked by Federer's volley at the net and he had no chance.

Arthur Ashe Stadium went completely crazy.

"40:AD".

The third break point and set point.

Not only because Federer's juggling-like "SABR" is very entertaining and watchable, and very attractive to American audiences; but also because... this is Federer's global home base.

To some extent, American audiences like Federer more than the other three Grand Slams. After all, this is Nike's home base.

Perhaps, in New York, the only one who can compare with Federer is Nadal. Even Djokovic is far behind Federer.

It can be seen from the previous Cincinnati match that the whole game was full of cheers for Federer. Even when Djokovic gave up his serve with a double fault and a forehand shot into the net, the whole audience stood up and applauded. The overwhelming cheers were very lethal.

Generally speaking, mistakes are not applauded in tennis matches, let alone double faults.

But in front of Federer, everything is unexpected.

After the game, Djokovic was helpless, but he couldn't curse at the American audience.

This is especially true in New York.

Before the US Open kicked off, The New York Times conducted a market survey on social networks. More than 60,000 fans voted, and 83.6% of the audience expected to witness Federer win his 18th Grand Slam title in New York this year, leading the way by a wide margin and presenting a crushing sweep.

Tonight, the audience was actually very kind to Gawain. There was no booing, no jeers, and no applause for mistakes. Overall, they were quite restrained.

After all, this is also half of Gao Wen’s home ground.

What's more, the first set was a very exciting one with both players competing against each other, and the audience thoroughly enjoyed it.

But now entering the final stage of the set, "half home court" suddenly lost any advantage over "global home court", and the crowd began to cheer for Federer.

When Federer used "SABR" amazingly at the critical moment, even Gawain was caught off guard. You can imagine the audience's surprise.

Stalemate, tension, intensity, heat... the atmosphere of this set and this round reached its peak at this moment, and Arthur Ashe Stadium became a volcano.

"Pah! Roger!"

"Pah! Roger!"

The audience could no longer control themselves. One by one, they tore off their masks, revealing their truest and most sincere desires, and shouted in unison.

The overwhelming cheers instantly brought Gao Wen back to last year's US Open.

Things seem to have changed, yet they also seem to have not changed.

Gao Wen twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, not minding at all. He didn't mind last year, and he would mind even less today.

After taking a deep breath, Gao Wen had already arrived at the second zone, ready to continue facing the test of break point and set point.

Whoosh.

This is not easy. The howling wind and the rolling heat waves intertwine and collide with each other like a tornado, and the hem of the clothes also dances.

Gawain waited for a moment, and when the wind died down a bit, he threw the ball.
