Who can refuse such a moment?
To be precise, no one should refuse those surging and boiling blood, which allow the warmth and energy of life to be released without reservation.
On one side of the court, Gawain was like a bloody war god. He didn't need to roar or shout. Just a wave of his arms and thousands of troops surrendered to him.
On the contrary, it was Djokovic who was determined to win and had a clear advantage. From any angle, he had already firmly controlled the situation in this point.
But he suffered another head-on blow. In the first set, a high-pressure shot went into the net, and in the second set, a high-pressure shot was counterattacked. It was a similar situation in a different situation. He had a bitter mouth and watched the cooked duck fly away. This time, he lost more than just one point, far more than just this one point.
So, how did all this happen?
Djokovic seemed in disbelief.
With his hands on his hips and his head lowered, his eyes and expression are invisible. He seems to be thinking about what happened to the ball just now and which link went wrong. The inventory that he had in hand was obviously destroyed in this way. How many times can such fatal mistakes be tolerated in a duel between masters?
Ah! Ah! The whole place was filled with excitement.
Those incredulous faces, those ecstatic eyes, and those crazy screams caused the entire O2 Arena to lose control and fall into a blazing sea of fire. All the spectators seemed to be standing behind Gawain, and in an instant they were back in New York.
This is London, the undisputed home turf for Federer and Murray, while Nadal and Djokovic need to stand aside. But there is no doubt that this is not New York, where both Nadal and Djokovic have created countless glories. With half the home advantage, they always receive more cheers.
However... right now, at this moment.
Those cheers were going crazy for Gawain.
But it sounded more harsh than ever to Djokovic's ears.
“6:6”, the venue was changed for the second time in the tie-break.
Djokovic and Gao Wen both walked towards the net. They needed to return to their rest area, drink some water and wipe their sweat briefly before changing courts.
Djokovic was originally standing in front of the net. He took a few steps to the referee's chair, with his head down in thought. Without any warning, he clenched his racket and smashed it hard against the post.
Power, bursting out in an instant.
stuffy.
With a dull sound, the racket was twisted into a ball, and the racket fragments bloomed like fireworks.
The caddie, the referee, and Gao Wen, who had not yet come over, were all stunned when they saw this scene.
The only exception is Djokovic.
Djokovic remained expressionless as he walked past the net, the referee's chair, and Gawain, toward the players' rest area and casually threw his broken racket aside.
Drink water and wipe sweat.
Then, get ready to continue playing.
Unlike the previous time he smashed his racket, and unlike any other time he smashed his racket, Djokovic's anger was invisible, but this anger hidden in his chest had to be vented, otherwise, no one knew what would happen next, including Djokovic himself.
After a moment of daze, the referee finally came to his senses, "Djokovic, one warning..."
Obviously, there is more to it than that.
As far as the game is concerned, if you are warned again next time, you may be penalized points, penalty games, or even be directly judged as the loser.
After the game, Djokovic will also be warned and fined for damaging the stadium facilities. It depends on how the ATP handles the follow-up.
“Shh…”
There were some rare boos at the O2 Arena, which came sparsely and violently towards Djokovic. They all didn't like this scene.
There was some commotion and agitation at the scene.
And what about Gawain?
This was not a common situation for Gao Wen.
Although unexpected situations are countless, it is rare for an unexpected situation to occur at the end of a game, or even at the end of the entire game.
Taking a deep breath, Gao Wen lowered his head and walked towards his own dugout, keeping his eyes down and focused.
A tie-break is a situation full of probability and variables. The pressure of the suspense of victory or defeat is unimaginable. If you lose focus due to an unexpected situation, it will be a real disaster.
After all, the tiebreak has now entered the fierce stage, every point may be a set point or a match point, and every point must be fought on the edge of a knife.
Gawain needs to focus on himself.
Make full use of the short time of changing venues, drink some water, wipe the sweat off your face, take a few deep breaths, close your eyes, and adjust your state a little.
Ignore Djokovic, ignore the chaos on the scene, and keep your mind focused and clear.
Then, lunge your way onto the court, stretch your leg muscles a bit, and turn toward the baseline.
He is already prepared.
Snap. Snap. Snap.
Djokovic started to bounce the ball, and the next point was still Djokovic's serve, but obviously, the O2 Stadium was not completely quiet.
"Pfft!"
"Shh!"
The boos came one after another, expressing serious dissatisfaction in such a way that Djokovic's serve rhythm was interrupted again.

Djokovic didn't say much. He stood up straight, waited for the boos to subside, then bent down again and started hitting the ball from the beginning.
Zone 1.
Outside corner.
200 kilometers per hour.
One detail is that in the tie-break, Djokovic had an extremely high first serve success rate and excellent serve quality. From this we can see his concentration. By improving his condition in the tie-break, he can ensure that he has an advantage in the serve. This time was no exception, and his first serve went into the zone smoothly.
Moreover, the speed and landing point are all first-class.
The psychological quality of the giants can be seen at this time. Even though they have just experienced a small episode, their concentration has not been lost and they are still focused on the game.
The same thing happened to Gawain.
Gao Wen was not distracted, but Djokovic's serve was really good. He didn't have time to adjust his steps. He rushed over with a big stride, stretched out his forehand with all his strength, and quickly swung and pulled the racket at the end -
It's not a push, it's not a block.
But it's a quick sweep.
Gao Wen, is grabbing.
Strictly speaking, it is not about stealing the serve, but about launching a head-on confrontation without giving an inch. Even if it is difficult, there is no mercy in hitting the forehand.
Because Gao Wen knew that Djokovic's serve quality was excellent and the first shot could put him in a passive position, so he had to work on receiving the serve.
This is a typical Federer serve return, relying on the quick movement of the wrist to complete the swinging sweep.
Gao Wen also made an attempt.
Failed? Then continue to save the set point on your serve.
The tennis ball drew a beautiful parabola, followed the diagonal line, and penetrated into the sideline of Djokovic's forehand position. With the help of the force, the angle was instantly torn apart.
Djokovic served beautifully and Gawain returned beautifully.
Equally matched.
Djokovic's feet were pulled out instantly, and he returned to normal posture from serving action, but he did not expect that the difficulty of hitting the ball in the second shot would increase sharply.
But now Djokovic is fully focused and is showing off his skills even while sprinting.
Forehand "inside-out", charging back head-on without giving in.
"Forehand VS Forehand".
