Buzz.
Buzz buzz buzz.
Roaring, pervasive.
For a brief moment, my mind was completely blank, and I just immersed myself in the moment, feeling the energy with my soul.
The court is no exception.
Federer couldn't hold back and subconsciously turned his head to look at his player box, where Mirka was watching the game. Although she didn't say a word, her eyes revealed a mixture of annoyance and anger. It was obvious that she was dissatisfied with her performance in the previous point and regretted missing the opportunity.
But I don’t know if the opportunity will come again.
Gawain, on the other hand, calmed down. He didn't clench his fists or roar. He stared at Federer intently and slowly backed away. Without words or movements, one could feel the high morale radiating from inside out, burning fiercely. His condition was at its peak.
He has not given up and will not give up.
Anxious. Intense. Bloody.
The excitement was even more intense than in the second half of the first set, so much so that the O2 Stadium was a bit chaotic.
Logically, they should be cheering for Federer and praying for a decisive match, but looking at this scene, how could they not enjoy it? "Fight!"
The audience in front of the TV did not have such worries. Shouts and cheers rushed out of their throats. Even Gu Xiao, who had witnessed countless legendary duels on the spot, was no exception. He roared at the TV screen like a madman, but he did not mind and was completely immersed in it.
Shouting and shouting, the energy penetrated the TV screen and returned to the O2 arena.
Then, I heard someone shouting.
"Fight!"
Just one sentence is enough to make the blood boil and the heart beat wildly until it almost explodes. The excitement and excitement, the joy and happiness set off a storm in the brain, wave after wave, completely destroying rationality and becoming completely part of the game.
Who could not cheer for Gawain?
Let the excitement come more and more violently.
Amid the roar and excitement of the entire stadium, the two players have returned to the baseline, ready to continue fighting.
"40:40".
In this round, the outcome is still undecided and the chances are equal.
Area 1.
One shot, and the net is dropped.
There was a low level of restlessness at the scene. Some people were upset that Gawain missed his first serve, while others were cheering for Federer's second serve opportunity. It was hard to control the situation.
Hush! Without the referee's reminder, the spectators at the O2 Stadium spontaneously reminded the players, and the restlessness subsided in an instant, without any sound at all.
Second serve.
In fact, this is not surprising. Whether it is Federer or Gao Wen, the decline in the first serve success rate and quality is an inevitable result.
Firstly, due to the limitation of one's own physical fitness, and secondly, due to the pressure and impact brought by the opponent, fluctuations in the quality of serve are inevitable.
Naturally, a change of strategy is needed.
How to make use of the first serve and how to adjust the second serve are all knowledge.
Looking up, Gawain glanced at Federer, and without pausing or hesitating, he dropped the ball for the second serve.
Inner angle.
170 kilometers per hour.
It's not fast, and it doesn't spin. To the naked eye, it's just an ordinary flat serve, lacking any characteristics. Even if you want to comment on it, you can't say anything.
——Opportunity! Federer rushed forward to receive the serve. For the second point in a row, Federer started attacking from the serve, trying to compress the rhythm of the round as much as possible.
Do a one-handed backhand shot, open your chest, and face forward with all your strength.
But…wait.
Slowly and shakily, the tennis ball took a long time to fly over, so Federer's racket action was incomplete and he waited and waited.
One side is ready to seize the rhythm.
One side came slowly and slowly.
Then, by the time Federer realized that Gawain had hidden a little friction topspin, it was too late to adjust. This little topspin was not obvious, and the bounce height was only half a palm higher than expected.
The position of half the palm is not worth mentioning, because the hitting point is still inside the racket and can be covered by temporary adjustment.
But being slow and straying from the sweet spot, the two combined created a misalignment; at the same time, Gawain also grasped a psychological factor. He knew that Federer was about to receive the serve, he knew that Federer's mentality was fluctuating after losing the point just now, and he also knew that the situation was stalemate at the moment, so he quietly laid a landmine trap.
It doesn't need to be too obvious, just a slight deviation will do.
It seemed like an ordinary and mediocre ball, and it was a second serve.
In fact, it requires patience and carefulness, otherwise——
Bang.
Federer's one-handed backhand was too early, just a little bit early, and he didn't find the right sweet spot, so his shot went awry.
The tennis ball went straight up and down, climbing to its highest point and then falling back into Federer's own half of the court.
Serve straight.

"AD:40".
Gao Wen's game point appeared.
Huh.
It was unexpected, absolutely unexpected, that in such a tight, stalemate and fierce game, after a series of high-quality rounds that sparked sparks, such a mistake would occur, and it was such a simple second serve attack.
There was an exclamation at the scene.
Federer immediately realized that Gawain had figured out his move, from his mentality to his tactics and strategy. Gawain once again demonstrated his unparalleled tennis wisdom.
At the end of the day, they are human beings, they make mistakes and they all slip up.
Awesome, Gawain is really amazing. He remains calm and rational in such a situation.
A direct serve is a simple and efficient way to score. It helps me recover quickly in the chaos and tension and take control of the situation in an instant.
This point is worth a thousand gold.
Huh! Federer let out a long breath and controlled his chaotic emotions. When he reached the second zone, he had regained his composure.
Indeed, the giants are not gods, they are flesh and blood, they are ordinary people who will make mistakes, fluctuate and make errors; but a key factor that separates them from other players is how to get back on track after making mistakes, and how to regroup and continue the game.
Briefly distracted, briefly low attention, and then refocused.
Now, Federer needs to bring out his full fighting mode again. He needs his kingly demeanor and his giant demeanor.
Snap. Snap.
The sound of Gao Wen hitting the ball was not loud, but at this moment it echoed over the O2 Arena, and the atmosphere on the scene cut off all the noise.
——Throw the ball.
One shot, and it went in.
Close range pressure backhand.
206 kilometers per hour.
What...what? At this time, in this situation, when both players' physical strength was obviously fluctuating and affecting the quality of their serve! Gao Wen, unexpectedly, once again served at a speed of over 200 kilometers per hour! To be precise, this was a small fight.
In the previous point, Gawain set a trap with a second serve that reduced power and concealed spin, causing Federer to make a return error.
At this point, Gao Wen had an idea and sped up instantly, relying on speed and strength to suppress the opponent, and once again broke the balance of the confrontation by starting from the serve.
Federer, apparently, was not expecting it.
This is a fact.
But not expecting it doesn't mean Federer will surrender. Federer is highly focused, opening his backhand with one hand, relying on a one-handed slice to gently push the ball straight, using the force to push the tennis ball back, and -
