control--
On the first break point, this was the common keyword for Federer and Gawain. Rather than saying that the ball was slow, it was better to say that both players broke the inertia at the technical and tactical level, and sparks could be seen everywhere in their calculations and layouts.
The match was completely different from the semi-final between Gawain and Djokovic.
In the "Gaode Final", the main theme is the tug-of-war and entanglement between the two players at the baseline, and it often takes a long time of negotiations to find opportunities to attack.
But in the "Fei Gao Jue", the confrontation in the first three shots is always tense and stalemate, and every shot needs to be calculated again and again, which is thrilling.
The same is true at this time.
Federer once again used an unexpected and inspired technique to change his receiving routine, and in an instant he completely eliminated Gawain's serve advantage. Moreover, this return serve was cleverly unloaded with force, and had a strong backspin, which squeezed Gawain's return line, and a diagonal line was a high probability event.
This means that Federer's stance for the next shot will be much simpler; he just needs to move toward the backhand position.
But Federer also knew Gawain's ability. He did not move rashly to the left half of the court. Instead, he took small steps in the middle area to adjust his center of gravity and keep his eyes firmly fixed on Gawain's figure.
——Push off the ground, start, and sprint at full speed.
Gawain's second reaction was swift, and he ran at full speed towards the backhand position. Although it was unexpected, Federer's cutting speed of the return ball was not fast, leaving a glimmer of hope. Gawain was fighting for this thin and weak hope.
Take a step forward, take a big step forward, and change your position.
In the blink of an eye, Gawain was close to the left sideline. He glanced at the tennis ball, glanced at Federer, and looked at the court space with his peripheral vision. He had already prepared a backhand with both hands and had an idea in his mind.
Fight.
At this moment, what is needed is courage. Gao Wen sees the routes and gaps that others cannot see, and he is ready to give it a try.
Left leg, push off the ground, emergency brake.
The overwhelming inertial force pushes the upper body forward and there is no way to stop; the layers of reaction force surge along the calves, thighs and waist like electric currents with the force of raging waves, pushing the waist and abdomen to complete the rotation.
Swing the racket from bottom to top, just like golf.
The power is released instantly, and it swings quickly from the forearm to the wrist, rubbing, rubbing, and rubbing strongly, rubbing out a super topspin, and breaking the original flight trajectory of the tennis ball in the rotation and rotation, completing a flat push with the racket head, and then the tennis ball flies out.
Bang! Straight line.
A breathtaking rainbow appeared in the clear sky after the storm, spanning the entire O2 Stadium, and sank straight into Federer's back, instantly cutting off the breath of the audience.
Bold. Daring. Adventurous.
Indeed, it is extraordinary that Gao Wen was able to carve out a path in the era of giants. It was definitely not luck. This kind of courage is what people hope to see in the new generation. They dare to plan, dare to take action, and dare to succeed, and believe from the bottom of their hearts that they can win.
Even if the opponent is the Big Four, this is no exception.
So what if you are suppressed, put into a passive position, and pushed to the edge of a cliff?
Burn your boats and cross the river, find a way out from the desperate situation, pave a way with your own wisdom, lay the foundation with your own courage, and finally rely on your own ability to execute and achieve brilliant success.
Huh.
In the midst of dumbfounded astonishment, I saw Federer's embarrassed figure.
snort.
Federer groaned. He had not expected this shot. Although he remained alert and on guard, he sincerely believed that Gawain would hit the ball diagonally, but an unexpected event occurred.
With his center of gravity swaying and a second start, Federer quickly moved toward his forehand direction.
The speed has been increased to the extreme, and the body has been stretched to the extreme. Federer's steps are a little staggering, and he is pulled by inertia while stumbling.
Getting closer.
Closer.
Just as it was about to arrive, the racket had already taken the lead and then -
Bang.
The racket frame hit the tennis ball, and the mustard yellow color shot straight onto the spectator stands.
The score belongs to Gawain.
"30:40".
Wow.
The whole audience was filled with amazement, not even cheering or applause, but praise and sighing. They looked at each other in amazement. The joy and excitement surged up, and the whole stadium was boiling and burning.
This is the second time——
For the second time in two sets, Gawain used his return to force Federer to lose his balance and be on the verge of falling. This is truly rare.
Federer has always been synonymous with elegance for many reasons, one of which is his footwork, which is as light and smooth as ballet, dazzling and graceful, and he rarely disrupts his own rhythm.
But now, Gawain made Federer's steps lose fluidity twice, which means that Gawain broke Federer's expectations in both layout and execution. He should have taken the initiative through offense but fell into the dilemma of blind defense.

Awesome, really awesome.
Whether the fans agree or not, Gawain does have the ability to compete with any giant, including Federer.
After Gao Wen saved the break point with such a brilliant and powerful score, the situation of this game immediately changed subtly.
So, can Federer take advantage of his second chance? "30:40".
The O2 Arena can't contain its excitement. Although there is no stalemate for the time being, every game and every point is exciting. There is no boring moment throughout the whole process, and adrenaline is continuously releasing energy.
However, in order to avoid affecting the progress of the game, they had to suppress it again and again, and then an undercurrent surged at the scene, the air gradually became tense, and the oxygen consumption rate was soaring exponentially.
Gao Wen raised his head and glanced at Federer, then prepared to serve——
In the second zone, press the backhand closely.
It can be seen at this point that the distribution of Gao Wen's serve today is still mainly close-range squeezing, which to a great extent limits Federer's first-shot attack, but in terms of details, each serve is slightly different.
This time, it was a flat attack.
The flat serve at a speed of 203 kilometers per hour was aimed at Federer's backhand position and was different from the previous serve.
With both power and speed, he smashed it straight into Federer's backhand.
Federer, not surprisingly.
He didn't even need to adjust his steps, he just snatched the ball away with a one-handed backhand.
Obviously, Federer also had his own calculations. In the game and tug of war, he was very determined in attacking the serve. Even when he was suppressed in the backhand position, he did not retreat. He hit the return ball back with a head-on collision, and burst out with an angry roar from the depths of his dantian. Federer exerted his strength.
It’s not about borrowing force, but about exerting force.
Federer tries to get a return.
However, the quality of Gawain's serve was still excellent, and he really suppressed Federer. Federer was not able to stretch his hands and feet in the direct confrontation. The return ball, which was half-forced and half-forced, had a poor control of the parabola, and the landing point was not as deep as expected.
To be exact, it's too shallow.
The return ball just passed the serving area.
Gao Wen's second attack was seamlessly connected.
