Chapter 272 The script is wrong

Standing on one leg!

After Zverev completed his swing, he jumped lightly, trying to make his hitting action as complete as possible, continuing the swing with power, looking at the flight trajectory of the tennis ball in a funny posture, with a pleading look in his eyes, praying that the parabola could be higher and higher.

A bit funny.

But, very effective.

Because it really went over the top! Gao Wen jumped up lightly, preparing for a high pressure, but just after he jumped up and before he could take the shot, he already realized something was wrong -

Unable to reach! Zverev's overhead lob was indeed high enough, but the 193cm tall Gavankar was not able to reach it even with a jump. The full parabola had already passed over his head, and he immediately realized that the situation was not good.

Oops!

Gawain immediately dropped lightly, touching the ground with his toes, and turned around without any pause. His calf muscles fully exploded, and he rushed out quickly. His toes lightly touching the ground pushed his body forward rapidly. While watching the flight trajectory of the tennis ball, he quickly kept up with his steps, preparing for the next shot.

Tap tap tap.

Tap tap tap.

Gawain followed the tennis ball all the way, and then he could see that the flying parabola of the tennis ball could obviously not be stopped. There was no sign of a rapid fall near the baseline, but it just rushed out in a mighty manner. It could be seen that Zverev created an overhead shot but did not apply enough friction, so that the parabola "could not come down".

whoosh.

Whoosh! Out of bounds!

Gawain stopped chasing, turned his back to Zverev, raised his right hand high, clenched it into a fist, and waved it in the sun. His full and strong muscles showed the power bursting from the inside out.

"Out!"

The linesman's call confirmed Gawain's judgment, and then the entire audience stood up and cheered.

On the first break point of the second set, Gao Wen created enough advantage with a sudden straight attack of his two-handed backhand, forcing Zverev's return ball out of bounds. He scored within three shots, and converted the break point forcefully and aggressively, taking the lead in the second set.

Wonderful! Really wonderful! Zverev held his head in disbelief. He just wanted to hit the ball over the top, but forgot to control the falling curve of the parabola. His technique of lobbing the ball was not good enough, and it went out of bounds.

So, was this point due to Gawain's excellent attack or Zverev's mistake in the high ball?

But what is certain is that this point belongs to Gawain.

"Competition, high."

“1:0”.

Zverev was filled with anger and frustration but couldn't vent them. He was even angrier than in the first set.

This was his own serving game, and he took the initiative to suppress his opponent. He had four game points but failed to win, and his opponent broke him on one break point.

This... this is so pathetic and aggrieved!

How did this happen?

Zverev couldn't figure it out, how could he be broken in the first game?

“Ah! Ahhhhh!”

Zverev couldn't help but exert force on himself again, followed by a string of German swear words. Although Gao Wen didn't understand, from the body language, it should not be words like "Come on, Mengmeng".

Obviously, this game was not what Zverev had imagined at all.

Shouldn't he have easily crushed his opponent and defended his reputation as a genius! Shouldn't he have easily won the victory and showed the demeanor and heart of the top seed! Shouldn't he have effortlessly won the championship and comforted his opponent by saying "try harder next time"! Gao Wen?

Who is this guy? Does anyone care? But now the game is getting out of his control. He doesn't understand. His shots are already very good. He believes that he can compete in the professional tour. His goal should be to be among the top 100 players in the world. But why is he so embarrassed when facing a player who is not ranked in the world? What's going on!

Not only Zverev, but also the audience began to have questions. What happened to Zverev's strong counterattack in the second set? Why did he change his mind now? Is that the dark horse who is not worth mentioning really going to be the dark horse forever? No way? They are still looking forward to seeing more exciting duels! The "Gawain vs. Zverev" that the audience expected is definitely not what it looks like now!

So, the audience began to cheer for Zverev, hoping that he could cheer up again, so that the game could be exciting. Otherwise, it might not even be as good as the youth storm in the first round when Gawain defeated Kokkinakis. This is too bad! Wait, why did the top seed become the underdog? This story doesn't seem right!

Here, Zverev fell into a passive position again in the second set, but still could not find the reason.

On the other side, Gao Wen had already shifted his attention to his own serve.

In a tennis match, keeping your attention focused is a science, because the hitting point is the life of tennis. Once your attention is distracted, it is easy to miss the hitting point, and then the game will become chaotic and you will not be able to perform well even if you try your best.

A tennis match may often last for two or three hours, and it is very difficult to maintain a high level of concentration throughout the entire game. Your concentration may be distracted due to reduced physical strength, an unexpected hit or a ridiculous mistake, a missed opportunity or the loss of a good game. How to control your attention throughout the entire game is a subject.

Truly experienced players know that they can be distracted during the receiving game, but not during the serving game.

What does it mean? It is difficult to receive the opponent's serve, especially for male players. It is not uncommon for them to win by hitting four aces in a row. So it is okay to occasionally be distracted or tactically relax your tense nerves.

In the serving game, you are the one holding the initiative. Once you give up the initiative, the game will fall into a passive position, which also means that your attention must be focused throughout the whole process.

It is also because of this that we often see in both men's and women's competitions that a player performs well and breaks the opponent's serve, but is so happy and excited that his attention is distracted, and then he plays his own serve very sloppily and is broken back by the opponent.

Commentators often say that holding serve after breaking serve is the only way to realize one's break lead.

Gao Wen didn't know Zverev's current condition, but he knew that he still needed to play steadily in his serve and keep his serve in order to take the lead in the second set.

More importantly, will Zverev really surrender? If the one behind is Gawain, he will never give up.
