The most vulnerable moment in a tennis match is when you are leading. Even if a match point appears, everything is possible. This is a famous saying from Mr. Rod Laver, and it has been verified countless times in actual games.

The Big Four have saved match points and won more than once, and the games between the Big Four have also reversed the outcome more than once by exchanging situations between match points.

This includes Gao Wen himself.

Gawain let out a long breath. He thought he wouldn't be nervous, but in fact, a mixture of nervousness and excitement still surged over him.

Dreams are within reach.

It’s not just a victory and a championship, it’s also the honor of being the best in the world.

The supreme honor that I once only dared to secretly fantasize about in my dreams, the ultimate goal that I once only dared to hide my sincerity half-jokingly, the lofty position that I once felt was out of reach and I dared not easily dream about it but constantly reminded myself to keep my feet on the ground, now, it is right in front of me, just one step away and within reach.

It turns out that dreams can really come true as long as you dare to think and do.

When everything became clear before my eyes, when my fingertips could feel the touch of the trophy, my emotions still surged uncontrollably.

A layer of hot sweat seeped out of the palms of my hands.

Subconsciously, Gao Wen clenched his racket tightly and focused on adjusting his breathing, cutting off the thoughts in his mind. The most taboo thing at this moment is to be distracted.

He needs to focus.

Otherwise, if you are not careful, two break points will pass in the blink of an eye.

Area 1.

Bend your knees, bend at the waist, and focus.

His eyes were fixed on Federer's movements, like a cheetah hiding in the jungle, with his pupils carefully capturing the movements of his prey.

Start, instant.

Gao Wen had already rushed to the backhand position——

Inner angle.

Push off the ground, turn sideways, and fly.

Gao Wen's heart suddenly sank, and he immediately realized how excellent Federer's serve was, a completely flat hit, with an instant increase in speed and power.

Therefore, Gao Wen changed from a two-handed backhand to a one-handed backhand, and stretched out with all his strength, just hoping to complete the touch of the ball.

However.

A little slow.

The inside corner serve is at a speed of 212 kilometers per hour, and the T point is accurately pressed, a perfect inside corner.

ACE!

Federer didn't give Gao any chance.

Ah! Federer clenched his fist and roared. He needed such a clean score and also needed such a state at the critical moment to boost his low morale.

So, he found it. In the predicament of declining physical strength, ACE, which had not been seen for a long time, made a comeback and immediately took control of the situation.

Moreover, the speed exceeded 210 kilometers per hour. As expected, Federer is still the same Federer.

"30:40".

The first match point, saved.

Gao Wen, expressionless, did not feel too regretful, because he knew that Federer had such ability and there was really not much he could do.

However, Gawain still looked down at his legs.

Because of nervousness, my muscles were a little tense and I didn't have enough strength to push off the ground.

Of course, even if he had held on, he still couldn't have received the serve just now. Federer's serve was indeed impeccable; but Gawain needed to remind himself that if he was distracted by excitement, nervousness or other emotions and his reaction speed decreased, the situation might not be good.

He needs to be vigilant.

Look, Federer has demonstrated his ability. Even if it is a match point, Federer can make sure Gawain can't even touch the ball.

So, match point doesn’t mean anything, everything still needs to start from the beginning with our feet on the ground.

District 2.

In a short period of time, Gawain calmed down a little and locked his eyes on Federer again.

Federer did not hesitate, and maintained his usual rhythm even when facing match point.

One shot.

"Out of bounds!"

It's a pity that this outside corner shot at 205 kilometers per hour was just out of bounds.

Federer took a look at the landing point, confirmed that it was out of bounds, and then prepared for the second serve.

Now, Gao Wen had the opportunity to make a second shot.

So, Gao Wen took a small step forward and advanced his serve receiving position. He had used this tactic in the first set and achieved good results. Now at the match point, Gao Wen once again demonstrated his boldness and courage.

Second serve.

Close range pressure backhand.

In a sense, Federer was still aiming for Gawain's backhand, but because it was a second serve, he adjusted his strategy and adapted it to Gawain's position, increasing friction and topspin, causing the tennis ball to bounce high.

Gao Wen did not retreat.

Not only that, but it continues to move forward——

Learning from Federer, although Gao Wen was not prepared to adopt the "SABR" tactic, he was also prepared to steal a second serve.

If it fails? It fails.

Gao Wen knew it was a match point, but he couldn't hesitate or be restrained because of the match point, otherwise he knew he would not be able to win the game.

Take risks and step forward.

Gao Wen immediately felt the tennis ball coming towards him, and the hitting position was slightly higher than expected, but all these situations were within Gao Wen's expectations.

He did not hesitate.

Use both hands to backhand and push gently along the forward momentum of the body.

This time, not a slash.

Instead, use your wrist to control the racket face. There is no need to change the line yourself. You can push the tennis ball straight back by stepping forward.

Straight line, pressing Federer's forehand.

At the match point, Gawain and Federer's calculations did not stop. Both of them tried to break the rules in the conventional routines and seize the advantage.

However, Gawain realized Federer's determination just after he made his move.

Serve and volley.

Federer actually chose to serve and volley, and it was the second serve and volley on match point.

Bold?

It's not just bold, it's simply insane.

Even Federer himself rarely chooses to go to the net on second serve, let alone on match point. But precisely because of this unexpected and sudden move, Federer quickly overturned the situation, seized the initiative in the close combat, and firmly grasped the initiative.

Gawain had already hit the ball, trying to break through Federer's forehand position, but Federer was obviously prepared. He noticed that Gawain's return was trying to push deep, so he moved and extended at the same time, and before the tennis ball landed, he completed a mid-air volley on the falling curve of the tennis ball.

An extremely difficult volley.

Federer, however, was half a step away from his right foot, and relying on his superb forehand control, he pushed the tennis ball in a parabola and pushed it back toward the deep backhand area of ​​​​Gawain, pushing Gawain into an awkward position where he was neither up nor down.

Now, it’s hard to bear—

Gao Wen can choose to go to the net or stand still, but whether it is a volley or a rebound, it is more difficult than Federer's shot.

Gao Wen could also choose to retreat, but not only would he lose the initiative and fall into passivity, but if he retreated a little too slowly, his shot would go wrong.

Federer's courage and determination on match point were aggressive.

Gawain had no time to hesitate or adjust.

He retreated cleanly and continuously, creating space quickly. While his body was retreating, his hands were pushing forward in the opposite direction.

The power of the upper and lower body was misaligned, but Gawain did not hesitate and completed an extremely difficult shot in a flash.

Slash, break the net, and cross.

Use force.
