"Gawain..."
"Gawain,"
"Gawain. Did it."
Zhan Jun tried to stay calm, but it was too difficult, too difficult. The shock and trembling rose from the soles of his feet all the way to the top of his head, but he still couldn't stop. His scalp felt numb, as if electric current was running through his blood vessels. He trembled slightly uncontrollably, and his brain was completely blank.
incredible.
Unbelievable.
"On the second set point, Gawain pushed Federer to the limit with two extreme splits and slides, and like Monfils, he made two consecutive diving headers. However, Gawain still found an opening with a left-handed lob at the net and won the decisive battle."
"I……"
"Incredible. Federer and Gawain have taken tennis to a whole new level. The afterglow of the shock and impact lasted for a long time, and the entire Arthur Ashe Stadium was in a frenzy."
"Gawain, um...Gawain stepped onto the Arthur Ashe Stadium again after a year, and proved with his unparalleled performance that he is definitely more than just a dark horse."
As he was talking, Zhan Jun paused for a moment. He needed to control himself.
No one, including themselves, could have predicted Gao Wen's performance at this year's US Open. Gao Wen once again proved their narrow-mindedness with practical actions, and also proved the charm of competitive sports.
Hu Litao could understand, 100 percent.
He himself couldn't help but take a deep breath to control his emotions.
“Regardless of whether he wins or loses, after this match, Gao Wen has proven himself. He is not just a rising star or a challenger. He has all the qualities to become a giant and is on his way to becoming one.”
"not to mention……"
"The initiative of the game is now in Gao Wen's hands. Federer, there is no retreat."
After saying this, Hu Litao was also stunned. He turned to look at Zhan Jun. The two of them quickly exchanged glances, and their eyes collided with each other.
They were still thinking that Federer might win in four sets, and Gawain would need to drag the match into the deciding set in order to turn the situation around and gain a slight advantage.
But now, just like in Wimbledon, after three sets, Gawain leads with a big score of "2:1".
Next, Federer stood on the edge of a cliff.
This is tennis, a competitive sport. Everything is possible and all predictions may be overturned in actual games.
Listen, Arthur Ashe's voice -
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
One sound after another, the bustling figures all stood up, changed their palms into fists, and slapped their chests hard to hit their hearts, feeling the power of their heartbeats.
Bang, bang, bang! At this moment, they temporarily forgot about Federer's home advantage and applauded for tennis and cheered for the competition.
Who could refuse such a game and such a moment?
Watching Gawain fighting passionately in the center of the court, my heart beat free from the restraints of the reins and released unparalleled energy.
They need to vent, otherwise their chests might explode.
"Fight!"
Filling the entire stadium, Arthur Ashe Stadium has completely transformed into a carnival scene. The neat shouts break all boundaries between fans. Nationality, gender, age, camp, etc. are no longer important. The only thing is to feel, immerse, experience, and then celebrate.
The roaring waves make the night brilliant.
Until——
"6:4", "4:6", "6:7(5)".
The audience noticed the numbers on the scoreboard and realized that Federer was falling behind. Federer, who had not lost a set throughout the entire North American summer hard court season, has now lost two sets in a row. He was pushed to the edge of the cliff in an instant. He must fight a desperate battle in the next fourth set to have a chance of survival.
Then, the fans finally woke up.
Needless to say, Federer's fans are expecting Federer to fight back strongly and reverse the final outcome just like in Wimbledon. If the Swiss king can do it once, he can do it again. The fans will stand behind Federer without hesitation and become his strong backing.
Neutral fans were no exception. The first set was very exciting, the second set was very good, and the third set was very, very enjoyable, but they were still not satisfied. How could such a wonderful game end so quickly? They were still looking forward to the peak showdown in the final set, which was the real climax.
A great game requires a great ending.
Then, the sound waves gathered again.
"Pah! Roger!"
"Pah! Roger!"
It was so vast and turbulent that Arthur Ashe Stadium trembled.
Not only inside the stadium, but also outside the stadium, there is even an illusion that the bustling crowd in front of the stadium entrance is inexplicably increasing.
It was late at night, it was already past midnight, and in the cold wind, one could even faintly see mist coming out of the mouth.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The previous four-hour epic clash was worth the price of the ticket, but who could have thought that this battle on Mount Huashan would already last two and a half hours.
However, the fans remained tireless, cheering and shouting, applauding and whistling, filling the entire stadium.
When the live camera was pointed at the huge and dense crowd outside the stadium, New Yorkers raised their beer glasses to celebrate.
"roar!"
The momentum is overwhelming.
The carnival was in full swing and the night was just right.
Then.
Both players came on the court, the short break between sets ended, and the fourth set slowly began.
In the fourth set, Gao Wen served first.
The point is that the two players have just experienced an ups and downs and thrilling Game 7. What should they do next? How should they adjust and plan?
In the tiebreak, both Gawain and Federer had some problems with their serves, becoming targets for their opponents to attack. Does this mean that the fourth set could become a break point battle? Or will they make adjustments first in their own serve games?
With suspense, Gao Wen served the ball.
The battle situation is quite interesting——
In Gawain's serve, Federer began to try to fight hard, that is, without getting entangled, after a little planning, he directly launched a killer attack. If he succeeded, it would be the winning point, and if he failed, it would not consume any physical energy.
Gao Wen was not affected. Instead, he repeatedly used slices and topspin to control the rhythm. The strong collision in the third set consumed his physical strength and energy very obviously, so he naturally needed to re-arrange his strategy in the fourth set.
Both players made some adjustments on the tactical level. Although the start was not tit-for-tat, there was an undercurrent of tension.
Later, in Federer's serve, Gawain began to hit the ball in Djokovic's style, extending the round as long as possible, making it clear that he was preparing to wear down Federer.
Federer increased his net visits, compressed the number of shots as much as possible, and ended the rounds in a simpler and more efficient way, and his physical energy allocation also needed to be more wise.
The back and forth of the two players' layout and game are also very interesting. It is not a tit-for-tat confrontation, but a hidden force entanglement like Tai Chi pushing hands.
McEnroe's words sum it up best.
"In fact, now is the real test for the players. When their physical strength and energy cannot keep up, how can they drag on the game and control the game? It is also a test of the players' foundation. These two players are showing their hidden skills and entering a new confrontation."
"This is the real node and the real show."
