Chapter 366 The Final Decision
Tap, tap, tap! Kyrgios caught up, but his pace was still a little slow, because Gawain's backhand straight line fight was so good, the angle and landing point were perfect, even if Kyrgios caught up, the hitting position was still a little off.
However, under extreme conditions, Kyrgios' violent forehand emerged again, with an unreasonable whip-like shot, a large loop of arm swing, a powerful top and hook, and the power of the forearm was released instantly, just like that, knocking the tennis ball out.
Diagonal line, diagonal.
Tap, tap, tap! Gawain also caught up, because Kyrgios had almost no space to hit the straight line again when his body was out of position.
Although Kyrgios moves very fast, he mainly relies on his physical explosiveness. In terms of footwork, his training is far from enough.
This also means that the slash is the only option.
Push off the ground! Brake! With a sudden push of the right foot, the forehand racket was already set up, and then the inertia of the body's forward movement was transformed into the power of the shot, and the forehand racket was greeted with dignity.
"Power vs. Power"! Gawain did not avoid Kyrgios's edge at all, making full use of his body weight and the inertia of his run-up as support. Then, at the moment of hitting the ball, his wrist was very soft and very cleverly retracted and pushed, and after the ball was out, he continued to swing the racket, making a big loop around his head.
Boom! Along with the crisp and solid sound of hitting the ball, a low cry of surprise came from the Arthur Ashe Stadium -
Change line!
Gawain actually changed his line again!
And even with Kyrgios's forehand exerting such great pressure, Gawain changed the line for the second time in a row! Not only bold! But also tough!
Huh! The crowd could clearly hear the sound of surprise, but then there was only the sound of the whistling wind, and everyone's eyes were focused on the flight path of the tennis ball.
Whoosh.
Whoosh.
At this time, Gawain could clearly feel through his own touch that Kyrgios's footsteps were not stable, and his forehand power was still affected and not full enough; comparatively speaking, Gawain's footsteps were stable, and the power of the entire change of line was more complete and fuller.
But despite this, Gawain's change of line was still not sufficient, and was obviously far behind the straight backhand line of the previous shot. At the last moment, the racket head speed had not been increased enough before the tennis ball had already flown out, so the change of line did not meet Gawain's expectations.
Simply put, the straight line is not straightened.
The tennis ball is still a long distance away from the sideline and is basically close to the center.
However, this is enough.
Boom! The tennis ball hit the ground hard and bounced out, low and flat, without much wiggle room, and Kyrgios was too late to get back to defend.
The final word! Score!
Wow! The whole place is boiling!
In this round, there were actually only five shots, but the two players exerted force in every shot. The tension of the strong confrontation was so fascinating that it made my heart explode.
Especially when Gao Wen faced the inventory, his brave and decisive shots made the audience scream with excitement. Such a game was truly fascinating.
For the first time, Gawain raised his right fist and clenched it tightly, firmly showing his strength to Kyrgios. His bright eyes shone with light. He was not nervous at all about the review, but instead completely released his energy.
The air is burning.
"6:4".
The next point was still from Gao Wen's serve.
Snap. Snap. Snap.
Gawain was bouncing the ball, and he took a quick glance at Kyrgios's position out of the corner of his eye, then made up his mind.
Push off the ground! Bend your knees! Turn your body! Swing your racket!
Hit the ball.
In the first zone, serve with backhand pressure at close range.
For the second consecutive serve, Gawain chose a close serve, but this time it was slightly different. The entire landing point was aimed at Kyrgios's position, and the rotation after landing and bouncing was towards the backhand.
Kyrgios was obviously a little surprised, and his feet were already moving towards the backhand - according to prediction, Gawain should choose to suppress his backhand, but in the end he chose to serve close to the opponent for the second time in a row, which caught Kyrgios off guard.
While moving his feet, he barely adjusted his body, trying to make room to complete the swing.
But this time the tennis ball seemed to have eyes and drilled into Kyrgios' body, and Kyrgios was unable to get out of position after all.
state.
The tennis ball hit Kyrgios directly.
Gawain scores.
According to tennis rules, if the player's body touches the tennis ball instead of the racket during the shot, then the shot fails, even if the tennis ball is 100% certain to be out of bounds but the player cannot avoid hitting the tennis ball.
Gawain was aiming for a close serve, but he did not expect Kyrgios to not dodge and the ball actually hit Kyrgios directly. He quickly raised his hand to apologize to Kyrgios, as it was obviously not intentional.

Kyrgios ignored Gawain's apology gesture and walked angrily to the other side, muttering to himself. His whole body showed his dissatisfaction and protest, but it was unclear whether he was cursing Gawain.
Gao Wen pursed his lips, revealing a helpless smile, and without saying anything else, he turned around and prepared for the next shot.
"6:5".
Gao Wen saved two set points in a row, but then it was Kyrgios' serve that led to the third set point.
Kyrgios didn't seem to be affected at all. After arriving in the second zone, he was immediately ready to serve. No matter what, as long as he masters the serve, he will take the initiative. At present, Kyrgios still firmly holds the lead in the third set tie-break.
Snap. Snap.
Kyrgios served directly without even checking Gawain's position.
Inside corner, forehand.
This is the biggest difference between Kyrgios and Isner. Isner's serve angle is often not wide, relying on strength and speed to suppress his opponent; while Kyrgios often likes to pursue a large angle, and is no exception at critical moments, without worrying about the potential possibility of serving out of bounds.
This time, Kyrgios chose to suppress Gawain's unstable forehand.
128 mph (206 km/h).
Ah! Gawain was a little embarrassed. Although he guessed the direction of Kyrgios' serve correctly, his unstable forehand repeatedly became Kyrgios's breakthrough point, but Kyrgios' serve had the speed and angle. Even if Gawain moved one beat in advance, there was very little space for him to swing his racket.
bass.
Gawain didn't really swing his racket at all. He just barely used his racket to block the ball, hoping that the return ball would go back into Kyrgios' court.
Whoosh! The tennis ball drew a not-so-full parabola and flew very quickly towards the middle area on the other side of the court.
Unexpectedly but understandably, Gawain's block failed to create a parabola, but the return ball was very short and basically fell within Kyrgios's serving area.
Then Gawain exclaimed that something was wrong—
Kyrgios went to the net.
