2085 Total Transformation

Crazy, crazy, the O2 Stadium is completely crazy, not the kind of crazy, but the kind of excited——

"30:30".

In the first set, Gawain served to win the set, but Djokovic fought back and once again showed his world No. 1 style and kept the score close.

In the last game, the game was in a stalemate for more than seventeen minutes and ended with a shocking mistake. Although it was not the winning point, the transition between active and passive, the tug-of-war and the confrontation to break the deadlock were breathtakingly exciting. The tense moments followed one after another, and the excitement was no less than the winning point.

Gawain's release and Djokovic's astonishment, two faces and two expressions intertwined together, unsurprisingly igniting the madness of this battle.

Although everyone knows that this is a crucial event that will not only determine a place in the finals, but also determine who will be the world's number one at the end of the year, more importantly, it will put a temporary end to the Gaode Final that runs through the 2015 season. No one wants to lose the game.

However, the actual game is still so exciting that it can easily make your brain explode.

After a short break, when the two players stepped onto the court again, the O2 Stadium erupted in cheers and applause.

They were looking forward to a battle.

In fact, they also witnessed a battle. Djokovic entered the killing mode, calm, focused and decisive. Even though it was Gawain's serve, he firmly controlled the situation and kept the score close. The balance between the two was never broken, and the pressure accumulated little by little.

Perhaps, judging from the score, it doesn't seem that exciting. After all, Gawain and Djokovic have already presented many classic duels this season; but at this moment, the audience and commentators sitting in the O2 Arena disagree. The anxious and boiling atmosphere on the scene is far from what the score can show.

Every point and every round is like walking on a tightrope.

Moreover, not only the two players walked, but the entire audience walked together. The ups and downs, the precariousness, the tension and excitement were enough to drive people crazy. Even the breath was hot, and the lungs and brain were full of smoke. The heart was beating wildly and almost exploded.

It is more exciting than the Australian Open final and the US Open final.

The O2 Arena is like a pressure cooker, but there is no pressure relief valve, and the dull and suffocating pressure is rising steadily.

This was a test for Gawain.

Djokovic had no way out and had to fight with his back against the wall and give it his all. His shots became more decisive and all the pressure was put on Gawain.

Now it depends on whether Gao Wen can withstand the pressure.

Area 1.

Outside corner.

188 kilometers per hour.

It was not fast, but with strong outward spin, it hit the small triangle of the serving area accurately, and after landing, it continued to spin towards the doubles line.

snort.

Djokovic's groan could be clearly heard on the other side of the net. With a big stride, he threw his body completely out, his arms stretched out like a roc spreading its wings, and his body flexibility was fully displayed.

Forehand, flick the ball lightly at the end of the racket.

Although he did not predict this serve, Djokovic was not surprised. After all, Gawain's tactical intention to suppress his forehand was very clear so far in today's game, so his first reaction was very timely.

Then, the forehand wrapped around the tennis ball and pushed it deep into Gao Wen's baseline.

Unlike other players, even Murray who is also a master of receiving serves, the best part of Djokovic's serve receiving is wrapping, that is, making full use of his talent to push the tennis ball into the deep area. This skill is truly unique in the ATP, and even Federer and Nadal, whose serve receiving abilities are underestimated, can hardly match him.

At this moment, that is the case.

Obviously Djokovic was not in full position, but he relied on his unparalleled talent. With a shake of his racket, the flexible force wrapped around the tennis ball and pushed it back to the opposite baseline.

This kind of serve reception ensures that Djokovic can limit the opponent's second-shot offensive connection after serving, especially for those serving cannons with clumsy movements. High-quality serve reception can put them in a passive position and lose the advantage of serving.

With this ball, Djokovic sent the tennis ball back to Gawain's forehand baseline triangle. Although it did not enter the blind spot, it had entered the area, disrupting Gawain's offensive connection from both the horizontal and vertical directions.

Stepping, adjusting, returning to position, Djokovic immediately adjusted his footwork and center of gravity, quickly judged Gao Wen's swing, and his footwork had already returned to the forehand position -

A diagonal return shot.

Judging from the overall trend, Gao Wen should make this choice.

Seeing that Gawain's forehand stance was already in place, Djokovic was ready to start pulling his center of gravity back, but at the moment when he was about to swing the racket to touch the ball, Gawain changed his grip on the forehand.

Oops!

Djokovic sounded the alarm immediately.

My whole body was on alert.

The next second, Djokovic started, pushing off the ground fully to increase his speed, and rushed forward to the net.

Because Gao Wen chose to cut the ball with his forehand, it was an incredible tactical choice. The first shot after serving was a short ball?

straight line.

Small ball.

O2 Stadium: ??? But it is precisely because of this that it has the effect of surprise.

Djokovic cursed secretly. He knew that Gawain must have noticed his position. In order to deal with the potential forehand diagonal attack, Djokovic stepped back slightly, and the space from the baseline was opened up a step. This gave Gawain the inspiration to choose the small ball.

There was no time to regret now, Djokovic rushed forward with all his strength.

Getting closer.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Closer.

Djokovic's speed has been increased to the extreme, and he is even ready to slide, but...

Still haven't caught up.

Gawain's shot was not only sudden and deliberate, but also of high quality. It cut a straight line, flew over the net and then fell rapidly, forcing Djokovic to complete a long diagonal run, but he was still a step slow in the end.

After the tennis ball bounced twice, Djokovic finally got to his position and threw the tennis ball towards the net in frustration.

"40:30".

The game point and inventory appeared.

Wow.

Wow.

There was an exclamation at the scene.

"Wow, I mean... wow."

Nothing but praise.

"It was such a crucial score, such a tense moment, but Gao Wen was so calm and composed. He chose a bold tactic and executed it, which not only subverted the audience's guess, but also subverted the opponent's prediction."

"He took this point with ease and showed his big heart once again."

"Such a performance under such pressure... Wow!"

"Sure enough, he is worthy of being the fifth giant!"

"This is not the first time we have discussed this. Since defending his title at the US Open, Gao Wen has completed the final step of his transformation, and the temperament of his entire game has changed again. His wisdom and competitiveness are indeed on par with the Big Four."

“What are we talking about when we talk about giants?”

“A kind of temperament.”

"The control of the game, the persistence in the game, the interpretation of the game, a different temperament."

"The test has actually come to Djokovic's side now."

"A clash of giants? It's a feast for the eyes of the audience."
