Chapter 363 Disruptive Interlude
Sh ...
Oh oh oh.
Beep beep beep.
The audience at Arthur Ashe Stadium started to boo and complain, expressing their strong dissatisfaction with Kyrgios with their voices and actions, and they all despised Kyrgios' behavior.
In tennis matches, the audience is always like this. If a player behaves in an ungentlemanly manner, the first to boo in protest are the audience. This is even more true in top-level tournaments. The French Open audience has booed players to the point of making them nervous more than once for various reasons, and even Federer has lost control of his emotions before.
Although the US Open is the noisiest and busiest of the four Grand Slams, with even DJs playing pop music to liven up the atmosphere between innings and sets, the audience also dislikes the players' lack of manners.
Not long ago, they were applauding Kyrgios' performance; but now, they are complaining about his anger.
Kyrgios obviously couldn't accept it.
It just so happens that Kyrgios needs someone to vent his anger on.
Kyrgios, who was nagging and chattering nonstop, got angry at the audience again, shouting "shut up" and followed by a series of "fuck", which resulted in even louder boos from the audience. The US Open audience was not worried about affecting the progress of the game, and they all joined in the noise to watch the fun.
The game was interrupted for nearly three minutes.
Gao Wen, on the other hand, was contented as he performed simple warm-up exercises such as leg stretching and leg kicking to ensure his body muscles were in a relaxed state, and then watched the game from the sidelines. Encountering such an unexpected situation at a Grand Slam was a new achievement in his career, as professional competitions did indeed involve all kinds of situations.
While waiting for Kyrgios to finally finish his battle with the crowd and prepare to serve, Gawain was ready to receive the ball.
The furious Kyrgios wanted to eat Gawain alive, and then poured all his emotions into his serve.
ACE, 136 mph (219 km/h).
The fastest ace of the game appeared! Kyrgios glared at Gawain fiercely, then stuck out his tongue and shook his head as he walked towards the second zone. His expression and movements seemed to be demonstrating: See, you just can't catch it.
Kyrgios is indeed gifted as he was still able to maintain such speed after a three-minute break. However, even geniuses have weaknesses.
"30:40".
Zone 2, inside corner, press forehand.
Kyrgios tried to suppress Glover's forehand, but the distraction caused by the three-minute break obviously affected this serve. The speed was still maintained at an excellent state of 124 miles (200 kilometers) per hour, but the angle was not completely torn, giving Glover a chance to breathe.
One pushes off the ground and the other stretches.
Gao Wen used the force of his forehand to push the ball, but at the moment of the ball, the power of his wrist flicked lightly outward, and then the tennis ball hit straight back.
Outside corner!
Gawain’s return landed in Kyrgios’s left service area, which was basically an outside corner serve. Then you can see Kyrgios arrives in two long strides, with his two-handed backhand ready, and once again uses the killer weapon in his arsenal:
Backhand straight line.
It can be clearly felt that Kyrgios lacked patience in these two rounds and had no intention of playing "cat and mouse" because he just had endless frustration and anger that needed to be vented, so his shots were obviously much stronger and more domineering, and he directly exerted force in the first shot of the attack after serving.
The arc of the swing is not large, it is just a push in a small range, using the force of the racket face pushing forward to change the flight trajectory of the tennis ball.
Suddenly and quickly.
Whoosh! The tennis ball flew quickly towards the big triangle on the right sideline of Gawain! Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang! Gawain sprinted sideways with all his strength, moving from the left bottom corner to the right bottom corner in a large range. His figure sprinting with all his strength was like a graceful step, leaving a row of afterimages behind him.
Kyrgios' backhand was straight, fast and straight. The only drawback was that because Kyrgios did not actively exert force, and Gawain just received the serve by leveraging the force, the force attached to the tennis ball has almost disappeared, which means that the tail force of the ball is not enough, and it only relies on speed to suppress.
But Gao Wen's advance prediction and movement bought him some time.
Big stride! Big stride! A full-scale sprint!
Bang, bang, bang! His steps were still a little off, and he was about to hit the ball. Gao Wen pushed with his calves, and leaped into the air. He had already prepared the forehand lead, and made full use of the inertia of the run-up and the force from the top to the bottom to complete the force.
Soaring! Boom! He swung the racket quickly with his forehand, the speed of the racket head increased completely, and his forearm swung at high speed like a whip, and did not stop after the racket was out, completing a large loop around his head. His whole body and arms were fully stretched out, like a roc spreading its wings, free and easy.
bass.
Boom! The tennis ball was visibly compressed to the extreme, then bounced back and rushed out, the force gradually being released. In a trance, one could see the tennis ball swell up again, the fine hairs bursting open, and it flew across the court like an angry bird, drawing a huge diagonal line and smashing towards the theoretical dead ball at the other end of the court.
Boom! Kyrgios immediately started sprinting, and he also rushed from the left end of the court to the right end, and the speed he burst out in an instant had reached the extreme.
For the first time in the entire match, Kyrgios lost his calm demeanor and his footwork had reached its limit, but he did not expect that Gawain's forehand would fully exert its strength and instantly raise his speed and power to a whole new level; even though Kyrgios' speed had been fully released, it was still a little short.

It was obviously Kyrgios who changed the line first, but it was Gawain who took the lead. This was the biggest change from the second half of the first set to the second set. The initiative was not in the hands of Kyrgios, but the two players were constantly fighting for it, and neither could judge when the other would launch an attack.
This time, after Gawain turned the situation around, the pressure poured down on Kyrgios like a tidal wave. It was obvious that this forehand shot was part of Gawain's planned attack.
Tap tap tap.
Kyrgios' speed has reached its limit, but the movement of his legs pushing off the ground still cannot catch up with the flying speed of the tennis ball.
Out of bounds?
Out of bounds, out of bounds, out of bounds…
Kyrgios staggered forward, his eyes fixed on the landing point of the tennis ball, and he kept repeating it like a curse. This should be his only hope. As long as the return ball goes out of bounds, all problems will be solved. This is also the only thought in his mind.
However--
Within the boundaries.
The linesman made an in-bounds gesture, and Gawain's return ball hit the blind spot of the triangle and landed on the line!
Accurate! Tricky! Strong! Domineering! Boom! In an instant, the whole audience was boiling!
No one expected that Gawain would win this point in such a tough and violent way, breaking Kyrgios' serve for the first time!
Absolutely wonderful!
