The eleventh game, “30:30”.

Faced with the small test of a tie, Djokovic once again showed his giant style, blocking Gao Wen's continuous attack with two clean and neat winning points, and firmly holding his serve. He finally suppressed Gao Wen's small climax of winning three consecutive games, once again pushing the pressure to his opponent and firmly grasping the initiative of victory.

——“6:5”.

The twelfth game, “40:15”.

Djokovic was fighting, but he was still trying to make different attempts. At this time, we could see the wisdom and wisdom of the world number one at the tactical level.

Firstly, it disrupted the rhythm and destroyed Gawain's baseline feel in the last four games. Djokovic's backhand was unable to suppress Gawain, and he needed to break the game.

Secondly, to save energy, it is obvious that Gawain has passed the peak of his physical fitness, but Djokovic's next peak of physical fitness is approaching quietly.

After comprehensive consideration, Djokovic's adventurous and experimental fighting style in this game showed a different look.

Gao Wen remained unmoved and played steadily, firmly controlling the situation. He quickly and decisively saved his serve and withstood the pressure to push the game into the final stage.

——“6:6”.

Game seven is here.

From the ups and downs of the final set at Melbourne Park at the beginning of the year to the long tug-of-war in the Wimbledon semi-finals, all the tension and excitement came from the long tradition of long-set finals in Grand Slams. The excitement of the peak showdown at Mount Huashan has been pushed to a new height, showing the contest of players' wills.

However, the US Open is different.

This is the only exception among the four Grand Slams. Everything is aligned with commercialization and everything compromises with contemporary television broadcasting. From table tennis to badminton, from volleyball to football, all competitive sports have experienced such a painful period. In order to facilitate television broadcasts, they have to control the length of the event and finally create different excitement by changing the rules of the game.

Football's Golden Goal system, although unfair and involving a certain amount of luck, is in fact more exciting, more sudden and more topical.

The US Open is the same, and it is a pioneer, far ahead of its time.

As early as 1970, the third year of tennis entering the Open Era, the U.S. Open had already abolished the long-set deciding rule.

In fact, in 1968 and 1969, not only was the long set decision retained, but there was no tie-break. That is to say, from the first set, once the score reached "6:6", there was no tie-break, and one side had to win two games in a row to win the set, which also meant that the game was longer.

Therefore, reform is inevitable, and the "break-even system" comes into play.

The difference is that while other Masters and Grand Slam tournaments are a bit more conservative, with best-of-five sets, only the first four sets can be decided by tiebreaks, but the deciding set still has to be a long set; the US Open simply goes all the way, with not only the first four sets but also the deciding set having a tiebreak system.

In other words, there has been no long-set decision at the US Open since 1970.

Djokovic was well aware of this, which is why he did not consume too much energy in the twelfth game, but instead saved energy for the upcoming tie-break.

then--

The popular choice.

An epic game requires an epic ending.

Although it was not a long-set decision, all the game and collisions of the whole game were condensed into a short tiebreak, pushed to the climax in the most exciting and thrilling way. After more than four hours of strong confrontation in four sets, both players will tap their final potential.

It was about to happen! In just one second, the Arthur Ashe Stadium went straight into carnival mode, with overwhelming roars, leaps, and cheers. It was incredible that they had also watched the game for more than four hours, and at this moment, they all tapped into their own energy.

Burn as much as you can.

Without reservation, with all my heart.

In the tie-break, it was Djokovic who served first and also who exerted force first.

Starting from the tenth game, Djokovic began to adjust and layout. His rich competition experience and rare Grand Slam final experience played an important role in seizing the initiative in the game and layout.

“1:0”.

After successfully securing his first serve point, Djokovic grabbed the serve without warning.

Unlike Gawain's quick and decisive fight to receive the serve, Djokovic pushed the serve directly to the deep middle area, aiming at Gawain's position and pushing deep, forcing Gawain to hit the rebound.

Immediately afterwards, Djokovic made a sneak attack at the net, intercepted and cut the ball in front of the net, moved Gao Wen to the front of the net, and finally ended the point with a forehand block and smash.

The entire routine, the entire combination, and the entire execution were flawless, not leaving Gao Wen much room to adjust or fight, and he won the point with a combination of punches.

The first to realize the mini break, “2:0”.

Think about it carefully. If Djokovic used this tactic in Gawain's serve, even on a break point, he would only break the serve, which would not necessarily translate into a greater advantage, and Gawain would be able to adjust and counterattack quickly. But it would be different in a tie-break.

Every penny counts.

What's more, it was the final set tiebreak, the final battlefield leading to the championship.

Djokovic has a head start, it’s all experience.

really!

Djokovic took the lead.

Then, Gao Wen immediately made adjustments, stood firm, controlled the rhythm and line, and did not rush into it and lose his mentality. In a tug-of-war of sixteen shots, he used the forehand line ball from deep in the baseline to disrupt Djokovic's rhythm, causing Djokovic's forehand to go out of bounds, and he steadily recovered a point.

"2:1".

Despite this, Djokovic remained unmoved and kept a calm mind, saving his two serve points in a row to further widen the score gap.

"4:1".

This situation is so similar to the situation in the deciding set. Djokovic was the first to make a mini break and then widened the score gap. Although he only had an advantage of a mini break, the score was like an insurmountable chasm. He was far ahead in momentum and had the upper hand.

This time, there was no commotion at Arthur Ashe Stadium. They had already developed confidence in Gawain.

No matter what the difficulties, Gawain always managed to turn the situation around and come back as the champion, right? But this time, Djokovic said no.

Push off the ground, brake, backhand, draw the sword.

straight line!

Break through the defense and score the winning goal.

The first sight of blood kills the enemy.

This point belongs to Djokovic. After a 24-shot tug-of-war, Djokovic defended and counterattacked, fighting in an extremely passive situation.

Success! "5:1"! Ah! Djokovic finally released his energy, which had not been seen for a long time since the fourth set. He suppressed and suppressed again, controlled and controlled again, surging and burning, and finally showed his dominance and strength, clenched his fists and roared to the sky, announcing the arrival of the king.

He, Novak Djokovic, is the world's number one!

Ahhh! Djokovic's momentum was so overwhelming that Serbian fans couldn't hold back. Fanaticism and passion became the main theme of Arthur Ashe Stadium.

With unwavering steps, we move forward towards the championship trophy again!
