Chapter 356: Arrogant

“3:0”.

In the opening stage, Kyrgios, who was at full strength, used unreasonable playing style to force Gao Wen into an extremely embarrassing situation. Not only was he behind in the game score, but he also did not have much advantage in the small points. The current total score is 12 to 3. Gao Wen only got three points pitifully, and the game became a one-sided situation.

It was not until the fourth game, which was Gao Wen's second serving game, that Gao Wen was able to gain a foothold. After a deuce, he relied on a mistake by Kyrgios and a direct serve of his own to save his serve and win his first game in the match, slightly regaining his touch.

The game score was in a stalemate, and both sides entered the serve-holding mode, all the way to "5:3", and then came to Kyrgios' serve to win the game.

Although Gawain had been making different attempts and once caught up to "30:30" in this game, Kyrgios still got the set point with an understated second serve ACE.

It was clearly a second serve, but Kyrgios treated it as a first serve and did not hold back at all.

After his first serve went out of bounds, Kyrgios shook his head and muttered, "This is the worst serve I've ever served in my life." Then he adjusted himself slightly and served his second serve without slowing down or controlling it. The serve at a speed of 132 miles (213 kilometers) per hour was like a cannonball and hit him directly.

ACE.

Kyrgios nodded slightly to show his satisfaction.

In the inventory, Gao Wen guessed the direction correctly with excellent prediction, and hit the ball back with a forehand. The tennis ball successfully drew a full parabola, pressed deep and turned, and hit the deep middle area, almost close to the baseline. The whole return serve effect was very, very outstanding.

However, Kyrgios just stood there, without adjusting his steps or preparing for a run-up. He jumped high up like an onion in dry land, and his whole body was completely airborne, soaring handsomely and unrestrainedly. He hammered the ball directly from top to bottom with his forehand. The violent forehand shot with thunder and lightning seemed to explode the tennis ball, and it hit Gawain's forehand hard.

It was clearly not a chance for Kyrgios at all, but he still forced the attack.

Boom! Gawain’s prediction was completely accurate, and he started immediately, but Kyrgios’s shot was too hard and too fast, hitting his right half of the court. He saw the tennis ball fall to the ground just as he started, leaving him with no chance at all, and could only watch the tennis ball bounce and fly out.

In fact, the angle was not completely torn apart, and it was still a long way from a blind spot, but the advantages of absolute speed and strength were fully demonstrated.

"6:3".

The score of the first set was frozen here, with Kyrgios taking the first game.

Looking at the entire first set, there were actually almost no rounds, and the longest round was within ten shots. That is to say, Kyrgios' unreasonable and powerful style of play has broken the balance. The violent and tough style of play was smooth and seamless, and the rhythm of the game was completely improved.

The first set was over in just twenty-five minutes.

Judging from the number of games, the average time per game is less than three minutes. If the rest time between games is deducted, the time taken for a single game will be even shorter.

hey-hey.

After completing this violent shot, Kyrgios stuck out his tongue at Gawain, his face revealing the arrogance of a young man who had achieved success. He then raised his right hand again, shaking it back and forth near his neck in a cutting motion, shaking his head gently and mumbling continuously.

"Did you see it? Did you see it? Hey, did you see it?"

The condescending attitude seemed to be educating Gao Wen: See, this is tennis; how about it, have you learned it?

After completing the move, Kyrgios ignored Gawain and turned to face the audience, raised his hands high, embraced the thunderous applause of the audience, and performed Michael Jackson's moonwalk all the way back to the player's lounge.

The New York audience went completely crazy——

This is exactly what they like, party! Carnival! Passion! A performance, a bucket of popcorn, a show!

Quietly, Arthur Ashe Stadium is becoming Kyrgios' home court, and Australian fans are cheering and shouting in the stands. Tonight's night game has reached its first real climax, which is in no way inferior to the Big Four.

"I have to say that Kyrgios played the first set perfectly, powerful and smooth, light and violent, with many inspired shots, showing his talent in this sport in all aspects. As long as he wants, he can really beat any player's ability."

In the studio, Zhan Jun and Hu Litao were both a little depressed, not only because Gao Wen lost the first set, but more because the attacking power displayed by Kyrgios was indeed amazing. His talent, which came easily and lightly, and shone comprehensively, was like a rainbow, shining brightly.

Objectively speaking, Gawain only lost one serve game at the start of the first set, and then lost the first set. Also, considering that it was his first night court appearance at Arthur Ashe Stadium, he still needed some time to adapt, so this performance was already very good.

But we have to admit that the highlight of the first set belonged to Kyrgios.

If you think about it, this is the same player who set a string of historic records at Wimbledon just two months ago, which shouldn't be surprising at all.

At that time, Kyrgios eliminated the then world number one Nadal and advanced to the quarterfinals. He not only became the first junior player to defeat the then world number one since Nadal at the 2005 French Open, but also became the first player to advance to the quarterfinals in his first Wimbledon appearance since Florian-Mayer in 2004.

Moreover, Kyrgios is the first player outside the top 100 to defeat the then world No. 1 in a men's Grand Slam tournament in 18 years.

In all aspects, this is a highly competitive player. Not only does he have more experience in major competitions, he has already experienced the big scene at Wimbledon. Moreover, Kyrgios's personality is that he likes the big stage, and the more top-level the stage, the more excited he can be.

The direction and outcome of the first game were not unexpected.

According to common sense, Chinese male players have not even been able to win any Grand Slam tournaments before. Now Gao Wen has finally made a breakthrough and won two games in a row. This is undoubtedly a huge breakthrough. We should see the more positive side, but we should also see that there are still shortcomings and gaps.

Then, look forward to the future.

In other words, one should be content.

but……

Hu Litao was somewhat unwilling to accept this. He could not help expecting more, and he could not help hoping for a miracle. Was this just his wishful thinking? The more he analyzed the situation and told himself that the current situation was acceptable and should be faced calmly, the more unwilling he became; the more he told himself that he should not be too greedy, the more bitter he felt.

Does that mean Gawain has no chance at all?

Hu Litao turned his head and looked at Zhan Jun, and then he found that Zhan Jun's eyes were the same as his, flashing with unwillingness, and then he began to explain.

"Obviously, the situation is not favorable to Gawain now."

"But the match is not over yet. To be more precise, it's only the first set. The beauty of a tennis match is that changes are happening all the time. Even when a match point occurs, there are still countless possibilities."

"Everyone says that football is round and everything is possible, don't forget that tennis is round too."
