--boom!

The heart exploded.

There was a constant buzzing in my mind.

It was so clean and direct that the entire Arthur Ashe Stadium fell into the same rhythm and state, and everyone reflexively clenched their fists, raised their arms, stood up and screamed.

"ah!"

Be carried away.

Qiao Wangsheng only felt that the hot blood in his body was burning violently. Everything else no longer mattered. He just cheered to his heart's content.

"ah!"

"ah!"

Over and over again, again and again.

Even if you are mentally prepared, even if you are full of expectations, even if you are already excited, but when you actually witness this scene with your own eyes...

After all, it is different.

From falling behind after being broken first to steadily regaining his form and breaking back, and then successively resolving crises and showing a tough attitude by first holding serve and then getting break points.

Ups and downs!

Magnificent!

This was only the first set, but it was already so thrilling! Qiao Wangsheng was no longer himself, but a part of Arthur Ashe Stadium, his body, mind, and soul completely integrated with the heat of the stadium.

cheer!

jump!

celebrate!

The overwhelming red wave burst out with its power.

"30:40".

Wheezing. Wheezing. Wheezing.

On the court, Gawain was panting heavily, his chest rising and falling violently, but his eyes were bright and determined as he looked towards the other side of the court, staring at Djokovic without giving in.

Never show weakness!

Indeed, Djokovic was determined to win, but Gawain's high morale also refused to give in.

If you want to fight, I will fight! Djokovic could feel the sparks in Gawain's eyes, and he looked back with his head held high, their eyes briefly meeting in the air.

The air was filled with smoke.

Then, Djokovic looked away, looked at the ball boy with a terrifying look, and asked for the tennis ball, exuding a dangerous aura.

The caddy was also startled, so that his movements became slightly stiff, and he accidentally threw the tennis ball off track. Djokovic was unable to catch it, and then there was another flurry of activity.

Break point.

"The situation is still tense."

"Gawain is turning the situation around, but Djokovic's energy should never be underestimated, especially in difficult and critical moments, Djokovic can always perform at a higher level."

“Even when facing other big players.”

Hu Litao immediately grasped the key points, and Zhan Jun nodded repeatedly to add to his remarks.

"In fact, just compare the two finals of Roland Garros and Wimbledon this year and you will know."

"In the Paris final, Wawrinka had 15 break points and converted four, while Djokovic had 10 break points but only converted two."

"In the London final, Federer had seven break points but converted only one, but Djokovic had 10 break points and converted four."

“The performance above the crucial points also showed the different results of the two finals.”

"There were some unexpected situations in Djokovic's last service game, and Gawain only needed one break point to successfully break back. This is obviously not Djokovic's true level."

"For the second consecutive service game, Djokovic was in danger of breaking his serve. This time, he will definitely make adjustments. Now it depends on how Gao Wen breaks the game."

Excited, thrilled, and happy.

Even if it was just verbal expression, the commentators were unable to control the surging emotions. The peak showdown before them was undoubtedly the final battle of the annual Grand Slam.

The atmosphere in Arthur Ashe Stadium was completely tense.

On the court, Djokovic and Gawain looked at each other and got ready.

Then, Djokovic served—

Bounce the ball.

Djokovic started bouncing the ball as usual, with no end in sight, but there was no sound at all, it was extremely tense.

It seems that all the audience knew that this point not only maintained the break advantage, but also involved a battle for momentum, and no one was willing to give in.

Judging from the situation in the last three games, Gawain undoubtedly has the upper hand, and now it is Djokovic's turn to fight back.

Ten times.

Fifteen times.

Eighteen times.

The extremely long number of bouncing the ball finally stopped at the number eighteen. Djokovic found his inner peace and threw the tennis ball into the air.

Break point, second zone, first serve——

A chase serve at a speed of 188 kilometers per hour.

Djokovic still showed his familiar appearance. At critical moments, he rarely pursued ACE or direct serve, but instead used the baseline to decide the outcome.

It was not surprising for Gao Wen, but that did not mean that Djokovic was unprepared. Relying on the deep landing point at the bottom line of the serving area combined with strong topspin, this chase serve still restricted Gao Wen's hands and feet.

Although Gao Wen forced his body out of the way and exerted pressure with a forehand skateboard diagonal shot, the effect of the shot was average and did not reach the quality he expected.

Djokovic had been prepared for a long time. He raised his backhand with both hands and was about to hit hard, but he reduced his strength at the moment of hitting, and hit lightly in an arc, controlling the landing point to hit in a straight line.

This is--

Doggy ball?

There is no way to be 100% sure whether Djokovic has finally given up the tactics he re-formulated today and returned to his regular tactics, but at least it can be seen that Djokovic is more patient.

Generally speaking, the angrier and more impatient you are, the easier it is to lose your patience. The more critical the point and the more critical the situation, the more you want to end the tactics as soon as possible.

But Djokovic and Murray are outliers, as are Simon, Auger-Aliassime and other players. At such moments, they tend to play more shots, maneuver more patiently, and finally find winning opportunities.

Of course, this was just one shot, and Gao Wen was not ready to draw any conclusions, but his subconscious mind had already increased his attention, reminding himself not to act too hastily.

Focus, immersion, stability——

Stalemate, formed.

Gawain tried to suppress Djokovic's forehand, while Djokovic tried to suppress Gawain's backhand, and the two players kept switching between diagonal and straight lines.

Moreover, the line selection is not aggressive, and there is a large safe space away from the sidelines and baselines. The opponent is mainly restricted through line combinations and rhythm changes.

Eight beats.

Fifteen beats.

Both players are masters of baseline. Accurate prediction and precise control create a stalemate. The accumulation of advantages and the offset of disadvantages are often just a matter of one shot.

Twenty beats.

Twenty-seven beats.

In fact, both players have a chance——

Djokovic created an opportunity with a forehand diagonal attack, and he immediately went to the net. As a result, Gawain resolved the situation with a straight cut, and Djokovic immediately retreated to the baseline.

Gavin's two-handed backhand hit the ball in a straight line, suppressing the blind spot. The fast and heavy shot made Djokovic extremely embarrassed, but the world number one's forehand shot directly hit the ball in a straight line deep area and repeatedly landed to force Gavin back.

From offense to defense, and from defense to offense, you cannot relax on every shot, so there are fewer opportunities and you naturally need to be more cautious when shooting.

In a blink of an eye, the round has exceeded thirty shots, which is undoubtedly the longest round in the first set. It is also the first turning point since the start of the game. Whoever can win will be able to gain the upper hand in momentum.

The Arthur Ashe Stadium was in a state of panic, with the audience's heads swaying left and right as the tennis ball flew, their movements in unison, like robots.

Then--

Djokovic is on fire.
