This point ended in a dramatic way, in a way that both players played to their full potential, in a way that astonished and was unbelievable, and then the king finally burst out the energy from the depths of his soul.

Ah! Roaring and exploding.

It was a rare sight to see the usually elegant and calm Federer erupt in blood. With his serves repeatedly failing, Federer hadn't had any advantage in the baseline rounds for a while, and this point brought out all of Federer's trump cards.

Calculation is calculation, confrontation is confrontation, but more importantly it is an instinct, the desire for victory, the urgency to fight, and the full release of energy.

Ah! Federer grasped his racket tightly and jumped high, looking up to the sky and screaming. The O2 Stadium was boiling, and instantly fell into a frenzy, and began to shake the ground.

The nature of a king is that he can easily detonate all the energy with just one move.

Standing in a desperate situation, Federer launched a counterattack——

How can I surrender and lay down my arms?

Not only is it impossible, but Federer is also going to launch a counterattack.

After this point, Federer won eight points in a row with great momentum. He went completely crazy, crazy, completely crazy.

Not only did he win five points in a row to hold his serve when the score was 0:40 in his own serve game, but he also scored three points in a row in Gao Wen's next serve game, taking the lead at 0:40 and getting three consecutive break points.

The situation is reversed.

Heaven and earth, upside down.

Even if you witness it right at the scene, you still can't react, as if a piece of the memory film has been erased and a small piece of time has been completely blank.

What…what happened? A second ago, Gao Wen had three break points and victory seemed within reach.

The next second, Gao Wen had to face three break points and the second set was in jeopardy.

So, what happened during that period of time? This is a master opponent, competing not only in form, but also in momentum and courage.

When Gawain had every advantage and was sure to win, Federer made a desperate effort to turn the situation around and scored an incredible winning point. Then his morale was greatly boosted, and his whole mentality and touch changed.

Although the quality of his serve was still average, Federer's forehand and backhand attacks completely opened up the situation, and he dared to attack and take risks, which immediately overturned the situation.

Federer held serve first, “4:4”.

Then came the ninth game. Gawain served, but he had to face three consecutive break points. Once he was broken, it would be Federer's serve to win the set.

It only took five minutes to go from being one step away from victory to being one step away from losing the second set. Perhaps this is the distance between heaven and hell.

Huff, huff.

Panting, sweating, a heat wave in the brain——

This is true for Gawain and Federer.

The two players just completed a 26-shot round, which ended with Federer's volley at the net to score the winning point. Federer has completely opened up the situation and has an overall advantage in both short and long rounds.

However, consumption is an objective reality and is the same for both people.

Now both of them need to wipe the sweat and take a breath.

As for Gao Wen, is he nervous? Is he panicking?

No.

Because there is no time.

The past eight points happened too quickly, and the whole rhythm was very dense, comparable to a rainstorm in midsummer, which came down on our heads without any warning.

Federer increased his frequency of going to the net, not only with determination and decisiveness, but also with suddenness and success rate, transforming himself into a net-type player, breaking the rhythm of the confrontation in an unreasonable way.

Federer is worthy of being the ATP player who is best at variations. Even when playing against Gawain, who is also good at variations, Federer's endless means and dazzling weapons can still give him the upper hand and control the rhythm.

In a blink of an eye, they came to the current situation——

Federer tried to take the second set in one go, but Gawain couldn't let him.

Gawain tried to slow down the tempo because he knew that playing fast and fast was one of Federer's favorite tempos. Currently, no one in the ATP can suppress Federer by playing fast and fast, not even Gawain.

He needs to get the rhythm into his own territory and increase the number of beats in his rounds.

Of course, Gawain still has the confidence——

It doesn’t matter if you lose the second set, there is still the deciding set to come.

Moreover, it doesn’t matter if he loses this game. Federer still has a serve game to win the set, and he can still look for opportunities there.

This confidence made Gao Wen very calm.

My heart was beating wildly, but it wasn't because I was nervous, but because I was excited and happy. The match with Federer had entered a whole new realm, and this was the most interesting part of competing against a giant. There were always new challenges and new limits.

"0:40".

Things really weren’t looking good between innings, and losing eight points in a row was even worse.

But it doesn’t matter, just take it one step at a time and focus on the next point first.

Area 1.

After wiping their sweat, the two players came to the baseline, ready to continue fighting.

"Pah! Roger!"

"Pah! Roger!"

The audience became more and more excited. They believed that their cheering had changed the situation, so they became more and more active, eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the deciding set.

The heat in the air was almost suffocating.

Snap. Snap.

Gawain remained unmoved and continued to dribble the ball as planned. The distractions made him calmer and more focused, making the storm even more violent.

Inner angle.

198 km/h, flat hit.

Serve, aiming for Federer's forehand.

But in this stage, Federer's forehand and backhand offensive firepower were very ferocious. He completely forgot about his physical difficulties and seemed to be burning his life. No matter what ball he hit, he could hit it back smoothly and form an attack. His reaction speed and hitting feel were indeed unparalleled.

Federer also knew that Gao Wen was trying to slow down the pace, but he would not let Gao Wen do so easily.

When returning the serve, Federer showed his true colors as a king again. He handled the ball with a nonchalant and leisurely manner, blocked it with his forehand, and used the force of the ball to push it forward.

It looks totally effortless.

However, Federer completed a forehand straight line from his receiving position, pushing the tennis ball point-to-point to the baseline point one step to the right of Gawain's serving position.

The range is still in the middle, slightly to the right, and the landing point is accurately on the baseline.

He didn't hit the ball aggressively, and even had a light touch, but facing Gawain's first serve, the quality of Federer's return was incredibly good.

In one shot, Federer put Gawain in trouble again.

Gao Wen's serve action has not fully recovered yet, and then he has to receive the ball in an awkward position. He does not need to adjust his footwork completely, but he cannot help but adjust his footwork, and his forehand needs to complete a rebound shot near the baseline.

The threat of receiving the serve not only disrupted Gao Wen's offensive connection in the second shot, but also forced Gao Wen into a defensive state.

So, how did Federer take the past eight points?

That's how I got it, as if with divine help.

However, Gao Wen was not in a hurry. He had gradually adapted to Federer's hitting feel and return quality. His forehand attack was even faster than his footwork.

Hands come first, feet come later.

What he showed at this moment was his big heart. Despite being in such a difficult situation and facing such a strong opponent, Gawain remained calm and hit a forehand lob high ball.

Yes, lob.
