“6:2”.
When people saw the score of the first set, the memories of the Stan Smith match yesterday came back to them, and they couldn't help but start to worry: Would this match also be a mess? Then, Wawrinka used practical actions to dispel the doubts -
Maybe Wawrinka's form is indeed not good at the end of the year, but it does not mean that he will surrender. He is still fighting.
Like Gawain, Wawrinka is also the epitome of high morale, and "Stan-the-Man" has become a new slogan.
No matter what the result is, no matter what the situation is, Wawrinka will not give up. Any player who wants to win must beat him head-on. He will never give up. He is also working hard, fighting and adjusting, using the "Stan" way to fight his way out with offense.
then.
Second game of the second set.
Wawrinka seized the opportunity when Gao Wen's physical energy fluctuated and launched continuous strong attacks. Not only did he force a break point for the first time in the whole game, but also after missing three chances and saving two game points, he forced the fourth break point again, and finally successfully cashed in with a forehand diagonal "inside-out" winning point.
Tough! Cool! Sharp! The familiar Wawrinka appeared again, attacking recklessly, violently and forcefully, showing the violent aesthetics of offensive tennis to the fullest. Although Gawain had done his best to deal with it, Wawrinka, who was instantly possessed by the Super Saiyan, was indeed an unsolvable problem.
At least, that was the case from 2014 to 2016.
“2:0”.
The second set started with the same score, but this time the leader was Wawrinka.
The situation suddenly became interesting.
So, the next step, "3:0"? Obviously, Wawrinka still needs to ask Gao Wen for his opinion.
Gao Wen disagreed with this.
On the third break point, Gawain and Wawrinka had a rare backhand duel. They first collided strongly for three rounds, then switched to the forehand, and then returned to the backhand to continue the confrontation for three rounds. Finally, Gawain used a backhand diagonal return shot to destroy Wawrinka's center of gravity as he tried to return to defense, creating the winning point.
"2:1".
After being broken, Gao Wen immediately launched a counterattack and broke back, and the situation in the second set instantly returned to a balance.
Moreover, Gao Wen won the point with the most rounds in the whole game, a full eighteen shots, and scored the winning point, which greatly boosted the morale.
Despite the fluctuations in his physical condition, Gao Wen's control over the situation and his understanding of the game are still outstanding. He is undoubtedly the best player today.
Immediately afterwards, Gao Wen held his serve strongly and won two games in a row, and the score of the second set came to "2:2".
During the game, there was a brief stalemate. After a 3:3 tie, Gao Wen broke the serve first, but it was still Wawrinka's forehand that was the problem.
Unable to handle the spin, one ball went out of bounds and one went into the net, and he made two forehand errors, giving away his serve and the advantage returned to Gao Wen's side.
In the following eighth game, Gao Wen experienced a tie test but did not face a break point and successfully held his serve. He was already on the verge of victory.
"3:5".
Wawrinka's life hangs by a thread.
Such a situation is not an ideal picture for neutral fans. They are looking forward to fierce confrontation and peak showdown. More importantly, they are looking forward to a thrilling and exciting game. The year-end finals should have the style of a year-end finals.
So, the O2 Arena made its own voice.
"Stan man!"
This was not a criticism of Gawain - in fact, the London audience loved him very much and the whole house cheered for him; they just expected more.
Amidst the overwhelming cheers and support, Wawrinka also showed his big heart. He first successfully saved a game that he had to save, narrowing the score. Then he launched a fierce fight in Gawain's serve to win the game, fighting rudely, decisively and absolutely strongly.
Wawrinka, entering super god state——
The magical balls came one after another, not only were they fierce and powerful, but they also hit the target accurately. No matter how they hit, they would hit the target. There was no way to form an effective confrontation.
When Wawrinka converted a break point with a backhand straight line winner and broke Gao Wen's serve in four straight points, the O2 Stadium went completely crazy.
Ah! Wawrinka howled to the sky, clenched his fists, roared like a lion, desperate and desperate, sweating profusely, his face flushed, his eyes full of murderous intent, then raised his right index finger, pointed at his temple, panting heavily, and the determination and resoluteness in his soul swept the whole audience.
Ahhh! Light up the whole place, set off the whole place——
"Stan man!"
"Stan man!"
The uniform roar was deafening, like a summer rainstorm, instantly releasing earth-shaking energy, and the entire stadium began to shake.
This is Wawrinka. From last year's Australian Open to this year's French Open, he seemed to be assisted by God and won the recognition of countless fans and players with his absolutely violent offensive tennis. He won his own place in the golden age of tennis where the Big Four competed with each other. Never underestimate his energy at any time.
This includes Gao Wen.
He was not frustrated, but applauded Wawrinka sincerely.
In this game, Wawrinka deserves all the praise. Every point and every shot was at the god-level. Standing on the cliff, he released all his potential, moving forward unstoppably, and scoring four points in a straight and clean manner. Gawain really had no chance. Such a game can only be described as... convincing.
admire!
However, admiration does not mean that Gawain surrenders.
Because Gawain knew that in this game, Wawrinka burned energy to release his potential, which consumed a lot of energy and physical strength.
After all, Wawrinka has no way out and must give it a try.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
But after giving it his all, Wawrinka had no time to think about what to do next. It was only now that he could start thinking after winning a glimmer of hope.
In Gao Wen's opinion, the chance should be his in the next tenth game.
Now, the key is, how long can Wawrinka's super god state last, one game, two games, until the end of the second set? Gao Wen, what is needed is patience and calmness.
"5:5".
The second set was tied, and it was definitely full of ups and downs. The audience at the O2 Stadium was finally satisfied, and the air at the venue was burning.
The outcome of the game remains suspenseful again.
Then--
"30:0".
Wawrinka, his hands are still hot.
Not only did he not drop the ball, but his offense was always successful. From strength to landing point, from speed to line, the overall quality of his shots really improved to a higher level.
Likewise, Gao Wen is also improving his status.
Originally, he thought that the race had gone smoothly and he could rely on this intensity to get through to the finish line, but now, he also needed to re-plan.
Moreover, looking at the long term, he cannot expect to quickly resolve the battle in one or two games. More haste makes waste. He needs to be prepared for the second set or even the deciding set.
Adjustment needs to be done step by step.
As expected, every game in the year-end finals is a tough battle and a challenge.
Gawain was neither frustrated nor depressed. Instead, he became more excited, and his adrenaline began to burn.
Zone 1.
Inner angle.
Gao Wen took a series of small steps to adjust, and then used his two-handed backhand to hit the opponent head-on. Without swinging the racket, he straightened his arms and used the force to hit the opponent back.

At the same time, step forward——

Wait, what???
