Chapter 2049: Honest and aboveboard

There is no doubt that Nadal is eager to win, and he will go all out to win every time he steps on the court, especially in this year's year-end finals. This is a terrible season, and he is always adjusting and fighting, looking forward to ending the season with a strong attitude and preparing for a brand new start in the next season.

However, Nadal's competitive spirit never changes. He is upright, aboveboard, fair and just. Victory is victory, failure is failure. He tries his best and gives his all, and then faces any result calmly. He never belittles his opponent because of his victory, nor does he deny his opponent's performance because of his failure.

Respecting your opponents and respecting the game is actually equivalent to respecting yourself and respecting the sport.

He has always been like this.

so--

A good ball is a good ball, within bounds is within bounds, even on a break point there is no exception, the facts will not change, he cannot erase Gao Wen's wonderful performance in this point.

then.

Nadal once again confirmed the landing point with his eyes, then looked at Gao Wen across the net, "This is a good shot, at least from my point of view. You should try it."

Full of sincerity.

Gawain was panting and sweating profusely. He looked at Nadal, exchanged glances, and then looked at the referee to indicate that he chose the Hawkeye challenge.

The O2 Stadium is boiling——

Because of the competition, but more because of the competitive spirit beyond the competition.

“Snap! Snap! Snap!”

The neat applause echoed over the stadium, truly pushing the atmosphere of this year's year-end finals to a new height. The excitement is just beginning.

The Hawkeye replay immediately appeared on the big screen:

Within the boundaries.

Gao Wen's backhand straight shot slightly pressed a quarter of the sideline. Although it was not much, it did press the line. In the powerful collision of power and power, rotation and rhythm, Gao Wen once again showed his courage and touch. He was not only bold, but most importantly, he was decisive.

Then.

Break.

When the Hawkeye challenge confirmed that Gawain's return was within bounds, it meant that the point belonged to Gawain, who broke the serve in the eighth game of the deciding set.

"5:3".

Next, Gao Wen will serve to win the match.

Wow! In such a way, in such a gesture, the excitement of this group match completely ignited the scene, the cheers and shouts of the O2 Stadium spread out mightily, and the heat and madness burned fiercely.

The game was still going on. Nadal was neither surprised nor frustrated. After confirming the Hawkeye result, he quietly returned to his own player's rest area and faced the difficulties calmly. However, he saw a figure in the corner of his eye.

Subconsciously, Nadal raised his head.

At first glance, Gao Wen raised his thumb, a smile slightly raised on his lips, and a familiar light flashed in his eyes. For a very, very short moment, they temporarily broke away from the game and returned to the relaxing moment off the court.

Nadal also grinned and applauded Gawain by patting the racket face with his right hand. Gawain's performance in just this point was indeed worthy of all praise, and this point should undoubtedly belong to Gawain.

There was a brief exchange of glances, but soon, both players withdrew their gazes, returned to the dugout, adjusted their breathing and state, regained their calm, regained their focus, and prepared for the next game.

The competition is still a competition.

Serve to win the game?

Although Gawain was on the verge of victory, he knew he couldn't let his guard down, let alone be soft-hearted or distracted, because Nadal would not surrender. If Gawain wanted to win, the only way was to fight for it with all his might.

"30:0".

As soon as the break between games ended, Gao Wen showed excellent concentration, shook off the swing of low physical strength, improved his condition with the belief that he must win, and took the initiative with clean and neat attacks, winning two winning points in a row.

However, Nadal was neither anxious nor worried and remained fully focused.

He scored the winning point with a forehand straight attack, and then suppressed the opponent with a backhand diagonal shot. He then went to the net and relied on the pressure of the volley in front of the net to force Gao Wen's return ball into the net, showing the big heart of a giant with an absolutely strong attitude.

"30:30".

The stalemate continues.

In fact, just like Nadal's last service game, the entanglement and competition between the two sides could not widen the gap. Whether it is Nadal or Gawain, they must show their top performance and even need some risks or some luck to break the balance of the confrontation.

Just like Gao Wen's fight on the break point, it was precisely because of the risk that he wandered around the sidelines, and the space of the entire court was utilized to the extreme.

Now coming to this round, the situation remains the same and there is no fundamental change.

The air became slightly tense.

Then.

"ah!"

The O2 Arena erupted like a volcano. The entire arena shook, from the audience seats to the commentary seats to the live broadcast room. No one was exempt from the energy from the cheers and jumping that shook the ground violently. In a trance, the whole world began to shake.

Boom, boom, boom—

There was a roar! Break points appeared again and again.

In this round, the tension continues.

Nadal had missed two break points and saved two match points, once again showing his fighting spirit. In the end, he scored the winning point with a signature forehand attack and got the third break point in Gao Wen's serve to win the game.

Tension, excitement, stalemate, and unyielding.

The game continues.

At this time, whether it was Gawain or Nadal, both players were improving their condition, their attention was highly focused, and there was no reservation or hesitation.

Go all out.

This is the case in every round.

call.

Gao Wen let out a long breath, not because he was nervous, but because he needed to adjust his breathing.

The confrontation became more and more intense and tense. Every point required all the effort, no matter the length of the shot, like walking on a tightrope.

"40:AD".

District 2.

Facing break point again.

Gawain, serve.

Outside corner.

Indeed, when facing Nadal, the tactical routine of the outside corner of the second zone is not often used. After all, this outside corner is against Nadal's forehand, which does not have much advantage. On the contrary, it may be caught by Nadal's forehand topspin and form an ace in the return serve, which would be a loss.

However, there are no bad tactics, only right tactics.

It is crucial to choose what tactics and when.

At this time, on the third break point, Gao Wen chose to serve to the outside corner, which Nadal did not expect.

With a sideways step, Nadal's body was pulled out of the singles line, and he pulled up the tennis ball with his forehand, making a gesture of catching the moon from the bottom of the sea.

Just before the shot, Nadal realized that Gawain's serve was reduced in force. On the one hand, it was to prevent Nadal from taking advantage of the force, and on the other hand, it was to reduce the bounce of the tennis ball, so that when Nadal's footsteps were in place, his forehand had to have topspin, and it was a topspin far beyond expectations.

In a hurry, Nadal had no time to adjust his gestures, and his forehand had already completely pulled the parabola of the tennis ball up.

The return was completed successfully, but the high parabola was obviously not deep enough, and it was obvious at a glance -

Oops.

This is equivalent to feeding the ball, and Nadal knows that Gawain will not miss the opportunity to attack from the baseline.

In fact, Gawain did not miss it.
