Chapter 329 Self-introduction
"'5:4', high lead."
But in the blink of an eye, Isner had already recovered a point and saved the day with an ace.
Just as Gao Wen expected, Isner had more experience in handling such crisis situations, and his serve had been honed through thousands of trials and tribulations, and could stand the test even at critical moments. Gao Wen completed a wonderful return in the previous point, and Isner controlled the situation with an ace in the next point.
The whole audience roared.
Isner's stable and strong performance strongly curbed Gawain's momentum! He once again proved that he still did not give up and was still fighting!
"roar!"
Isner, who rarely expresses his emotions, also clenched his fists tightly to cheer himself up.
Cheers, shouts, whistles and screams were heard everywhere. The audience was cheering for Isner at the top of their lungs. There was even a crowd wave at the scene, as if Isner was not trying to make up for a point but to save a match point. The heat wave made the air blurry.
"Come on, John!"
"Go! John! Go!"
"John, Aaaaaaaah!"
Originally, Gawain, who was preparing to serve, had his rhythm disrupted. He had to pause and wait for the referee to control the situation, and then return to the baseline. However, the boiling heat in the air was still very agitated, especially in a spacious space like the Arthur Ashe Stadium. The echoes continued to stir and could not be quieted down.
Then, one shot hit the net.
It can be seen from small details that Gao Wen is still a little nervous and lacks experience. If the first serve goes into the net, it is often because he hits the ball too late and his reaction nerves are a little slow. This is a very common serving error when the muscles are tense, so the parabola needs to be fuller when serving the second serve.
Second serve.
Whoosh.
Whoosh…
The strong wind at Arthur Ashe Stadium was so strong that Gowan had to pause for a moment to prevent the strong wind from affecting his serve.
Without warning—
"Come on, John!"
An impassioned roar exploded like thunder from the blue sky, and the Arthur Ashe Stadium, which had finally quieted down, was immediately filled with laughter, mixed with sparse whistles and cheers.
In fact, this is very, very impolite behavior.
In a tennis match, making noise between the first and second serves is equivalent to disrupting the player's rhythm and causing interference in the game. This uncivilized behavior has interfered with the normal progress of the game. Some players may even completely lose their touch due to these interferences, and suffer a crushing defeat and lose the victory.
However, similar situations occasionally occur in the tour, and the famously lively U.S. Open is a regular occurrence every year: inappropriate cheering, followed by booing and unstoppable cheering, are heard incessantly.
In the studio, Zhan Jun and Hu Litao exchanged glances, feeling somewhat helpless and a little worried. Isner's home advantage was still very obvious, and Gao Wen lacked experience in major competitions...
really.
It can be seen from the sight that Gao Wen, who was preparing for the second serve, stopped bouncing the ball and stood up straight.
"Just adjust it, start from the beginning, and keep your attention focused..."
Hu Litao's persuasion had not yet been completed, and then he stopped.
But Gawain raised his head, turned toward the source of the voice, and replied in full force, "My name is Gawain."
What…what kind of response is this? Wait!
The words connected together are, "Come on, John", "My name is Gawain".
The subtext is, "Hey, you want to cheer for me? But you called the wrong name, my name is not John, my name is Gawain."
Back and forth, the loud sound continued to echo in the Arthur Ashe Stadium, and the faint echo highlighted this absurd yet humorous effect. Then you could see the smile on Gawain's mouth gently rising under the sun.
Witty, clever, unexpected.
Joking, self-mockery, and counterattack.
Boom! Hahahaha! Hahaha! The whole audience burst into laughter, and some even clapped their hands!
The audience at Arthur Ashe Stadium really liked Gawain's response. It was light and humorous, with a kind of self-deprecating banter, which was really eye-catching. It was really hard to think of a more perfect and interesting way of responding. Then whistles and applause came down on Gawain.
Gao Wen was not at all stage-shy. He placed his left hand on his right shoulder, bowed, and made a curtain-raiser gesture to express his gratitude, as if to say, "Thank you for watching this play." This gesture once again made the audience burst into laughter.
Hu Litao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and without realizing it, he smiled.
Zhan Jun's eyes were filled with satisfaction and appreciation.
"Gawain's response was very smart and calm. He successfully won the applause of the audience. I'm afraid people will never forget this young player."
"But Gao Wen needs to calm down quickly. The next second serve will be a test."

In the players' box, Tobias' heart was surging with pride and he did not hide it, because he knew that Nike and Adidas must be paying attention to this game. Even if they didn't, the news would reach their ears.
No one can resist a player who is funny and capable. No one.
This little incident was quickly resolved this time, and the suffocatingly tense atmosphere was also slightly relieved.
Gawain retracted his gaze and prepared to serve again. Although what happened just now was not his fault, Gawain still politely gestured to Isner on the other side of the court. The match was interrupted for at least one minute, which was a test for both players' touch and condition.
Isner also laughed and raised his racket to respond to Gawain. The two opponents who were fighting fiercely were brought closer because of this little episode.
After apologizing, Gao Wen let out a long breath, closed his eyes to calm down for a moment, and then prepared to serve.
Second serve.
Second serve.
Second serve.
Gawain constantly reminded himself that it is not easy for any player, not even the Big Four, to regain a state of high concentration after the rhythm and flow of the match has been disrupted. That is why interference between first and second serves is considered unethical. Players who are disturbed are likely to make double faults, especially at such a tense and tense moment in the match.
Now, Gao Wen needs to avoid such a dilemma.
call……
He took a deep breath, and another deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, Gawain was ready.
Snap. Snap. Snap Gao Wen concentrated on hitting the ball without much hesitation. After adjusting his breathing and rhythm, he served the ball directly.
Throw the ball! Bend your knees! Push off the ground! Turn! Swing!
The entire serving action was very smooth, and on the surface it seemed that there was no impact, but Gao Wen himself knew that he had to play it safe with this serve.
Ultimately, it was due to lack of experience. The more critical the moment, the more focused one needs to be. After careful consideration, Gao Wen reduced his strength slightly to ensure that his second serve could enter the zone, and then suppressed Isner's backhand with the line and landing point, achieving his own serve effect in a roundabout way.
Bang! The tennis ball flew out as Gao Wen thought, drawing a full arc, and then, it entered the zone! Second update.
