At Arthur Ashe Stadium, everything was quiet, even the sound of breathing was lost in the night wind, and then, without warning -

"Come on, Roger!"

A shrill shout broke the silence. The heart-wrenching sound dragged out a long tail, creating a brief breathing space in the extremely tense atmosphere. A light laugh broke out at the scene, and then someone responded by shouting Gawain's name, and the conversation became lively.

In the end, everyone applauded, bringing the competition back to the scene.

They needed a little space to relax, but they still didn't want to leave for too long. The game in front of them was simply too exciting.

"40:40".

Sure enough, in the second game of the second set, Federer, who had just been broken, had no time to conserve his energy and launched a counterattack on the spot, and the situation became stalemate again.

To be precise, this semi-final lived up to expectations. It entered a white-hot state from the first game and continued all the way to the start of the second set. There was still no sign of a decline in quality. The powerful collision of Mars and the Earth was so exciting that my muscles were so tense that they ached slightly.

High energy throughout!

This was the sixth time the game was tied. Federer missed three break points and Gao Wen also missed two game points. Every point was a crucial point.

The air at the scene was truly suffocating.

From Federer fans to Gavan fans to neutral fans, including professionals and on-site staff, all eyes were focused, holding their breath, their palms sweating, their hearts pounding, watching the match in front of them with excitement and joy, and becoming a part of it.

"The game has lasted for more than eight minutes and is still difficult and stalemate. The audience also needs such a short break to vent their emotions."

"Gawain's serve rhythm was slightly disrupted, he needs to readjust."

In the commentary booth, whether they noticed it or not, the tense and hot atmosphere was spreading, so much so that the commentators' emotions were also tense and boiling.

call.

Gao Wen, who was ready to serve, adjusted himself slightly, re-prepared, got back into position, and then tossed the ball.

Area 1, outer corner.

This was an outside corner serve with obvious strong outspin, and Gawain deliberately pulled Federer out of the court.

From across the court, one could see that Federer suddenly took two steps forward, his body stretched to the extreme. One could even see that his upper body, which was completely stretched out, had broken his balance. It was difficult for him to complete the swing, and he could only rely on his forearms to control it, so he simply changed the way he received the ball.

Cutting.

Don't forget that Gao Wen's technique of occasionally trying to slice when receiving serves was learned from Federer.

Forehand slice with strong backspin.

This is indeed a unique shot by Federer in an extremely passive state. Although it is a cut, it is light and fast, and the landing point is deep enough to form squeezing, while also buying time for adjusting his footwork. The delicate and flexible touch interprets the research on the rotation and bounce of tennis to a whole new level.

The tennis ball rushed quickly and fell into the deep forehand area of ​​​​Gawain; and the angle was slightly widened, pulling Gawain's feet further to the right.

Wonderful!

Gao Wen successfully got to the position with one step, but his position was right on the baseline and he could clearly feel the squeeze caused by the depth of Federer's hit, which also meant that he needed to hit the rebound ball.

Gao Wen was originally planning to shoot in a straight line, but now the control of the rebounding ball has become more difficult.

In a flash, Gao Wen hit a diagonal forehand shot, but instead of changing the angle, he pushed it towards the middle of the opposite court.

An awkward position, creating compression through depth and rotation, disrupting Federer's center of gravity in his defensive steps.

It was a seemingly simple transition ball that completed the attack with a hidden needle, but Gao Wen had to admit that Federer's serve reception was indeed very good.

With a push of his feet and a second start, Gawain moved to the left.

Federer could be seen moving sideways quickly, but his forward speed was too fast, and he went too far when facing Gawain's return.

This also means that Federer bumped into himself, which actually compressed his own swing space.

In the emergency, Federer had no time to adjust his footwork, and he went straight forward with a one-handed backhand. With his arm and body completely pinned, he relied entirely on the open movement of his forearm to swing the ball outwards.

Bang! Federer showed his unique ability to handle the ball on the spot, and he hit a backslash shot that flew out.

Huh.

The whole audience was shocked.

Gao Wen was also caught off guard. He kicked the ball, braked urgently, started three times, and then pulled his body back to the open space in the forehand position.

Danger. Danger, danger, danger! Gao Wen noticed Federer's return immediately. Because of the accident, the swing of the racket was not sufficient, so Federer's return line was a bit short and fell into the shallow area, basically in the front half of the serving area. After landing, it turned outward with side spin, creating an amazing outside corner effect.

Gawain was very, very embarrassed.

The foot returns to the forehand position, but has to continue to pull out, not only leaving the singles area, but also needing to step up along the diagonal line and cut into the front half of the court.

Tap, tap, tap.

Gawain's steps were a little hasty. He saw that Federer's shot did not have much power, and the speed of his second fall after landing was faster than he had expected.

Oops.

Gawain's speed had already reached its limit, but at this moment, a call came from behind him -

"Out!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Huh.

The whole audience exclaimed.

Federer also stopped and looked in the direction of the referee.

The referee sits in a high position, looking down at the ball landing point near the net, which gives him an innate advantage.

Federer's impromptu shot went out of bounds?

The referee nodded in the affirmative and made an out-of-bounds gesture to Federer.

Federer didn't argue, touched his nose, and walked towards the second zone.

Gawain's forward pace finally slowed down and he let out a long breath. This ball was very thrilling. Federer was always able to break their expectations of the hitting techniques and return lines. It was really surprising and delightful.

It was not so easy for Arthur Ashe Stadium to calm down, and the whispers of discussion continued to surge.

The commentary booth is no exception.

"The thrill of this match is that both Gawain and Federer are taking risks because they know they need to break their opponents' predictions and take the initiative in the game. Risks and challenges are the consequences that must be borne."

"So, both players had some very close and very impressive shots, and luck was slightly on Gowan's side this time."

"Third game point."

call.

Gao Wen let out a long breath and regained his composure.

Back and forth, Gao Wen knew that the game not only had not stopped but was continuing to heat up. He needed to stay calm and focused.

He cannot rely on luck or trust in chance, he needs to firmly grasp the opportunity in his own hands.

"AD:40".

Continue with the game point.

District 2?

Gao Wen did not choose to tear open the angle, not the outside angle or the inside angle, but to chase -

180 kilometers per hour.

Gao Wen actually slowed down!

Is this... a trap?
