Chapter 203: Fight to the End
He.
The whole audience gasped! The audience had never expected that Gao Wen would break the serve in such a way. His clean, sharp and precise attack powerfully demonstrated his toughness and dominance, and he completely took control of the game.
Of course, Jilong's mentality fluctuated in this game, and he failed to score consecutively, which was undoubtedly an important reason, but Gao Wen's performance of improving his condition in time and seizing the opportunity was still admirable.
Especially on break points, returning an ACE is definitely a nuclear weapon to strike the opponent, breaking the serve instantly.
It was so exciting and unexpected that the audience was overwhelmed with reaction.
Sizzle.
Sizzle.
Gu Xiao could feel the phone in his hand vibrating. In the momentary silence, even the vibration seemed a little harsh. Gu Xiao quickly adjusted it to silent mode, then opened the chat group. He could see at a glance that the group members were already boiling with excitement, and each of them was asking Gu Xiao to broadcast the score live.
"Return serve ace, break."
Gu Xiao replied quickly, and then the chat group immediately exploded, like a drop of cold water falling into a frying pan.
"ah!"
Gawain jumped lightly and roared softly, morale was burning, and then without further celebration, he strode towards the dugout for the second break between innings.
At this point, the audience finally reacted. A thunderous applause swept across the entire venue in an instant and gradually grew louder. Incredible light could be found in the eyes of everyone looking at each other, and then smiles rose up involuntarily. The excitement and excitement were really hard to describe in words.
In the men's singles final of the U.S. Championships, Gao Wen was the first to break serve.
Gu Xiao's heart began to beat rapidly, the endless burst of adrenaline made his blood boil continuously, and he couldn't help but smile.
Sizzle.
Sizzle.
In addition to ESPN, the live radio signal also spread to every corner of the United States with Athens as the center. The audience couldn't help but get excited: Dark horse, is it really going to be dark horse forever?
From Gao Wen saving a break point in his serve game to Jilong's continuous suppression in his serve game, the situation of the entire game was reversed in a short period of time.
One second ago, the trial in the opening stage was so boring that I couldn't help yawning; the next second, I suddenly entered the 200-meter curve acceleration stage. The thrilling and ups-and-downs plot scared away all the sleepyheads, and the continuously beating heart made my temples pound.
Gurgling.
Gurgling.
The air is boiling.
Jilong's brain finally calmed down and he immediately realized his mistake:
After all, I was too anxious.
He took the initiative to attack in Gao Wen's serve game and got the first break point, but he failed to win two consecutive points despite having an absolute advantage. Feelings of disappointment and depression occupied his mind. He was trapped in his own dissatisfaction and annoyance, and his attention began to distract.
He was still too hasty, always thinking that he could win as a matter of course after seizing the initiative and creating opportunities.
But the reality is, as we all know during practice matches, Gao Wen is simply a very annoying super devil. He will not give up easily on any shot, and his baseline confrontation ability is improving very quickly. Some returns that he would definitely lose in the past can now be received back slowly, and he can also slowly launch a counterattack.
After all, deep down, he still held a high attitude, thinking that he was the third seed, the second singles player on the team, and a child of destiny, so his victory was an undoubted result, and he never adjusted his mindset; but such arrogance was useless, and he needed to realize that Gawain did have the ability to defeat him.
call.
After letting out a long breath, Jilong finally regained his sanity. He was neither furious nor dejected. He clenched his fists secretly, straightened his back, and returned to the players' rest area: everything was still in time now. The first set was still the first half. He still had a chance to break the serve and get back on track to victory.
Jilong is still Jilong, full of tenacity and will never surrender because of a little setback.
Chance?
Of course there are. Gawain and Jilong are indeed on par with each other, and the quality of their on-the-spot performance will determine the outcome. They are both ordinary people who will make mistakes, get tired, and have ups and downs. As Sofar said, the momentum and state of the game are fluid, from beginning to end.
This is the greatest charm of a tennis match. Not to mention being the first to break, even if a match point appears, everything is still possible in the match.
After the ups and downs at the beginning, the game entered the stage of fierce combat, with countless wonderful shots.
In almost every game, both players were able to deliver incredible rounds.
In the following games, Jilong was calmer and more meticulous. He got four break points in Gao Wen's serve and the chances always existed.

But at the critical moment, Gao Wen was always one step ahead. He showed his best performance in time on the break points and never gave in in the strong collision. One after another, he successfully saved all four break points, safely kept his serve and maintained his leading advantage in the chaos.
Gao Wen, too, gave it his all without reservation, being bolder and more adventurous in Jilong's serve, and he also got five break points in succession.
However, when facing the crisis again, Jilong became calm. His tactical layout was very careful and delicate, truly showing his genius. His beautiful shots were always so pleasing to the eye. Time and time again, he saved all the break points and did not lose his serve again.
The match was extremely intense, with strong opponents competing against each other, and the stalemate lasted for 43 minutes before the first set ended.
"6:4".
Gao Wen successfully won his serve and took the first set victory.
The time taken for the first set alone was comparable to the entire duration of some matches, with both players delivering top performances.
It was truly worthy of the excitement of the peak showdown in the National Championship. Jilong proved that his title of "No. 3 seed" was definitely not in vain; at the same time, Gao Wen also proved that his nickname of "Dark Horse King" was definitely not just talk, and a real showdown was the best way to show himself.
Just the first match was worth the price of admission, which made the audience even more excited.
Jilong has proved in previous games that even if he is one set behind, he is still capable of making a comeback and there is absolutely no possibility of collapse.
And Gao Wen? "Dear audience, with Gao Wen taking the first set, it also means that Gao Wen's strong record in Athens is still continuing. From the team competition to the singles competition, he has won 23 sets in a row and has not lost any set so far."
"Wow, so does Jilong have what it takes to take the first set from Gawain?"
