Chapter 373: Complete in One Go

"... In this point, Gawain's dribbling time was a little too long."

"The first toss was affected, and it looked like the lights were dazzling his eyes. Gawain caught the ball and prepared to serve again, but he raised his hand to apologize to Kyrgios."

Tennis is an outdoor sport, and the ball needs to be tossed high when serving. However, there are many factors that affect the serve outdoors. Sometimes strong winds interfere with the toss, sometimes the glare of the sun prevents the players from seeing the tennis ball, and sometimes there are flying sand and rocks on the clay court. These unexpected conditions will affect the serve.

Therefore, if the player is disturbed during the tossing process and does not make the swing to hit the ball, he can prepare for the serve again and it will not be counted as a failed serve - this is allowed by the rules and there is no limit on the number of times it can be done.

Suppose, a player fails to serve after dropping the ball five times in a row, and then serves once, is that okay? According to the rules, this is of course possible, but it is actually not necessary, because consecutive failed drops have the greatest impact on the serving party.

Ana Ivanovich is the most typical representative.

Ivanovic's serving action is very unstable, especially when she tosses the ball. The ball may be thrown slightly forward or slightly backward, or the strength may not be enough to cause the ball to be thrown low enough. In such a case, the correct way should be not to serve but toss the ball again, but Ivanovic always forces the ball to complete the serving action.

The result is, the queen of double faults.

The serving process is a coherent whole, and great care is taken from the moment the ball is tossed.

There were some problems when Gawain just threw the ball, and after signaling to Kyrgios, Gawain needed to throw the ball again.

You could sense Kyrgios getting irritated again by this point, mumbling and cursing a few more times before getting ready to receive the ball.

Gawain threw the ball again, and this time there was no problem.

Area 2, inner corner.

Once again, Gawain attacked Kyrgios' forehand. Since the third set, Gawain has tried this routine many times, but who would have thought that Gawain would be so bold in the tie-break! This time, Kyrgios was highly focused, his reaction speed and push-off action were very timely, and he jumped to the forehand position at the first time.

Chance!

Kyrgios' eyes suddenly brightened, and he started to lead the racket with his forehand early, swinging the racket forward with all his strength while pushing off the ground powerfully.

This is Gawain's first serve. If Kyrgios wants to fight for the first serve, he should continue to hit the ball with all his strength, otherwise any hesitation may miss the best hitting point.

However, halfway through the swing, Kyrgios discovered that Gawain's serve was significantly slower, a serve that was deliberately reduced in power. This meant that if Kyrgios continued to swing at this speed, the ball would be hit too early.

What should I do if the ball hits too early?

In fact, just look at the hitting technique to grab the rising point and you will know that the racket face needs to be slightly upwards, and your center of gravity needs to be coordinated to make a lifting action; but if these details are not coordinated with the changes, it is easy to go into the net if the force is applied too early, and it is easy to go out of bounds if the racket face is too high.

Normally, with Kyrgios's natural touch, he can handle such a reduced-power serve very easily and hit it back with ease, or even kill it with one shot to score the winning point.

But at this moment, Kyrgios had a fire burning in his chest, and he couldn't wait to vent. Every cell in his body was screaming "pushing, pushing, pushing". If he continued to suppress it, he might explode on the spot, especially since Gawain just tossed the ball again, which made Kyrgios' irritability rise to a whole new level.

Then Kyrgios couldn’t control himself anymore and just hit the ball with all his strength.

Bang! Boom! The tennis ball bombarded back like this, as if Kyrgios was hitting it with all his strength, but Kyrgios could hear the unbelievable exclamation of the Arthur Ashe Stadium just as he shot.

The ball flew, anti-aircraft gun!

"this!"

Zhan Jun was speechless for a moment, and then he couldn't help but feel a buzzing sound in his chest.

"Gawain chose to serve with less power in this point, and added a lot of friction to the serve. The entire topspin ball was very spinning. We can see that the rotation speed has reached more than 3,600. This also broke Kyrgios's prediction. It can be clearly seen that Kyrgios took the spin and hit the ball too early, so he hit the ball directly away."

"Serve straight."

"In the tie-break of the fourth set, Gao Wen had already taken a '4:0' lead, and the score gap was widened in the blink of an eye."

Unlike the tiebreak in the third set, in this tiebreak of the fourth set, Gawain's condition improved significantly, while Kyrgios seemed a little impetuous. Of the four points so far, two were due to Kyrgios' mistakes, one was an ACE, and one was a winning point at the net. The balance of the game was instantly broken.

Kyrgios’ mistakes were the main theme throughout the fourth set, but they were further magnified in the tie-break. The situation immediately became different, as if the tie-break had just begun one second and Gawain had already widened the score gap the next. So, can Gawain do it in one go?

In the media center, Zhan Jun and Hu Litao could clearly feel the excitement and excitement of the other commentators - because everyone was about to witness the birth of history, no one was an exception; the two of them could not help but get excited.

However, on the court, Gao Wen seemed very calm and composed. He didn't even celebrate. He turned around and prepared to continue his next serve.

There was a suffocating tension in the air at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The entire venue was completely silent, and there was no sign of bustle and excitement at all.

Zone 1.

Gawain chose an inside corner serve, and this time he did not deliberately reduce the power. It was a standard flat serve, suppressing Kyrgios' backhand.

Although Kyrgios reacted quickly, his backhand only barely made it diagonally.

Gawain immediately entered the baseline and completed a signature straight-line attack with a two-handed backhand, forcing Kyrgios to move sideways quickly and awkwardly to save the ball. However, he was unable to control his speed while running at full speed and ran a little too far, and then Kyrgios showed his skills again.

The whole person jumped up on the spot, put the racket behind him, and completed the crotch shot.

There were exclamations from the audience. Even at such a crucial moment, Kyrgios still did not forget the spirit of entertainment, as if he was mocking Gawain's concentration.

The acrobatic crotch shot flew high, and the entire parabola was very full. Gawain, who was standing in front of the net, seemed to be pressed too far forward, which gave Kyrgios a chance to hit a brilliant shot. The return ball was about to pass Gawain's coverage and go over the top!

but!

Gao Wen jumped up high like a dry onion, just like a fadeaway shot in a basketball game, and completed a high-pressure overhead shot while leaning his body backward.

Boom! Thunder strikes!
