Chapter 2051: Testing Concentration
As expected, Nadal is Nadal——
Perhaps, Federer, Djokovic, Murray, Wawrinka, these top players all have their own style and charm, but Nadal is always special. In adversity, in despair, on the edge of the cliff, his perseverance and tenacious struggle can always write different miracles.
And, it takes the game to a whole new level.
It is also because of this that during Federer's peak period, Nadal was the only player who could compete with him; during Djokovic's peak period, Nadal was still the only player who could compete with him.
Later, the long and magnificent golden era of giants was divided into two parts, the "Federer-Nadal era" and the "Dernandinho era", spanning a full twenty years, and the only person throughout was Nadal.
at this time.
now.
In another low season of his career, Nadal is still fighting, struggling and burning, and has found himself on the stage of the year-end finals.
There is nothing much to say about this point except applause.
Gao Wen himself couldn't help but smile helplessly.
Retracting his gaze, Gawain could see Nadal almost disappearing on the other side of the net. He couldn't stop at the end of his all-out sprint and leaped into the audience seats. The audience screamed in surprise and excitement, but still stretched out their hands to form a support, holding Nadal up, and there was a sound of exclamations and amazement all around.
Nadal had no time to celebrate at all. He scratched his head, then high-fived the audience in the seats in front of him. Then he jumped back into the court, picked up the racket he had just thrown away, with a shy smile on his face.
Back on the court, Nadal looked at Gawain and gave him a questioning look:
Should we continue? Obviously, Nadal had jumped into the audience and didn't see his return, so he couldn't be sure who scored, and naturally he couldn't be sure whether he had cashed in the break point, and whether he needed to continue the game? Gao Wen stood in front of the net, raised his thumb, and smiled, "Good shot!" After that, he clasped his hands together to express his admiration.
Nadal couldn't help laughing as well. Only then did he have time to quickly glance at the scoreboard and finally confirmed that he had won the point.
Gao Wen then raised his voice and asked, "Are you okay?"
Nadal reacted at this time, looked down at his calf, checked it roughly, and then waved to Gawain to indicate that he was fine.
Until now——
Snap, snap, snap.
The applause finally rang out. The brief accident and chaos did not interrupt the frenzy of emotions. At this time, you can see that all the audience stood up and applauded without exception, using this way to applaud the two players.
In the last point, Gawain's performance was perfect and impeccable, but Nadal managed to find a way out of the desperate situation and created a glimmer of hope, a hope that did not exist and should not exist.
It's hard to believe, but that's Nadal.
In the last game, Gao Wen broke the serve with an incredible shot down the line.
In this game, Nadal broke back with an amazing extreme crossing.
The two players showed incredible determination and form one after another, further igniting their energy as the game drew to a close, truly worthy of the title of the final battle of the Ilie Nastase team.
Besides, the game is not over yet——
The outcome is still uncertain, and we are back to the same starting line.
"5:4".
The pressure is still on Nadal.
At this point, we can see again the advantage of serving first in the deciding set. Even though Nadal had just saved two match points and broke Gawain's serve to win the match, the crisis that followed was still not resolved: this was Nadal's serve with no way out, and he had to save it.
and!
The past two games were breaks, and the two players exchanged a service game, which also means that the serving side needs to bear more pressure.
The only thing to be thankful for is that there is a 90-second break between the two games. After two rounds of high-quality, high-level and high-intensity competition, the two players can take a break, sort out their emotions and accumulate energy before continuing the final battle.
The O2 Stadium was bustling with noise.
"Pah! Rafa!"
"Bang! Fight!"
The former is high-five.
The latter is stomping of feet.
The two sounds intertwined and collided, weaving a magnificent scene, because of Nadal and Gawain, because the two players lived up to expectations and presented a wonderful game, and because the back and forth in the past two games was completely beyond expectations, and no one could control themselves anymore.
It's more than just a sound.
The temperature felt on the surface of the skin, the slight vibration from the soles of the feet, the faces distorted by excitement filling the field of vision on all sides, even the smell of sweat in the air is so vivid, from vision to hearing to smell and touch, everything is different.
At this moment, the audience sitting in front of the TV couldn't help but feel envious.
Even though they were also watching the live broadcast and keeping in sync with London's O2 Arena, the feeling was ultimately no match for the live atmosphere.
That kind of passion, that kind of heat wave, that kind of madness can easily destroy reason, ignite the adrenaline in the body, and then set a big fire, continuously creating wave after wave of frenzy. The brain completely loses the ability to think and just rolls along with the heat wave.

Those faces, carrying happiness and joy, bloom proudly.
Through the TV screen, they couldn't help but imagine what that felt like.
However, no one can express it accurately.
Only by going to the scene can you truly appreciate the charm of competitive sports. More importantly, the feeling of each game is different, because of the players, the audience, and the content of the game. That kind of surging passion and blood will never go out of date and will never subside.
Involuntarily, I stood in front of the TV, closed my eyes, and felt it with my heart——
Pah pah.
Bang bang.
Clap your hands and jump along.
My heart started beating uncontrollably, as if it had merged into a river of lava and began to bubble.
Finally, the two players came on stage.
Nadal kept jumping with his legs raised high, moving his feet.
Gao Wen, stretch your thigh muscles with a lunge to stretch your muscles.
Everything is just like the first game of the whole game. A brand new start, new preparation, and mentality need to get back to the starting point.
It's an equal opportunity for both players.
Perhaps, Gao Wen could gain a slight advantage by relying on the advantage of serving first in the deciding set, but facing the giants, this little advantage is not worth mentioning at all.
The special point is that Gawain's serve was broken in the match point game, but the advantage in momentum and mentality was on Nadal's side, which is another matter.
At this moment, it is a test for both players, a test of their mentality, their determination and their courage. Amid the swing of advantages and disadvantages, the scales maintain a delicate balance.
Everything really seems to be starting from scratch.
Then, as expected, Nadal served.
