Chapter 500 High Pressure in the Air
"0:40", Cilic's first serve finally came back, a close serve suppressed Gao Wen's swing, and then Cilic quickly entered the court to complete the half-court attack and successfully scored, "Ah! Ahhhh!"
"15:40", with an inside corner ace, Cilic got the points in the simplest and most straightforward way, and recovered one point again. He finally found some touch in his serve, "Ah! Ahhhh!"
Cilic started again, shouting out every time he scored, trying his best to boost his morale. No matter whether it was a winning point for himself or a mistake made by his opponent, he would roar and scream at his opponent, and in this way he gradually regained his confidence and momentum and got back on the right track of the game.
In a blink of an eye, there was only one left out of three consecutive break points.
"30:40", still the first serve, still a close serve, Cilic calmed down and seemed to have finally found his serve state that was away from home, very close to the first point of this game, but changed from close backhand to close forehand, but the entire serving area was still close to Gawain's body.
Moreover, speed and strength are back on track.
Bang! Gao Wen had no time to step back, so he could only lean his upper body back to make room, and then he used his forehand to block his body and barely pushed back with the strength of his forearm.
Middle lane!
But the line was not pressed deep enough, and one could clearly feel the suppression of Cilic's first serve, which successfully affected Gao Wen's return. Cilic's footsteps immediately entered the baseline, and he adjusted with continuous small steps, adjusting from the backhand position to the sideways forehand position and hammering it directly.
Boom! Still in the middle! Cilic tried to suppress the opponent with his strength, but the connection between the shots was not tight enough, and he failed to suppress the opponent's reaction time. This gave him time to adjust his position with small steps, and he immediately hit the opponent with his forehand.
Gao Wen seized the rhythm and compressed the connection between the shots, but in terms of power and speed, he pushed back in the same way.
Backslash! Cilic immediately realized that his reaction time was shortened, and he made small adjustments. Fortunately, Gawain was unable to completely break the angle, and the backslash still landed in the middle area, which saved Cilic time to adjust, and he completed the swing with a two-handed backhand.
Raise your hand! Push! Cilic used his signature backhand swing to push the tennis ball back, a diagonal line, trying to push the ball deeper, trying to squeeze Gao Wen.
This time, Cilic did quite well. Although there is still room for improvement, the return ball did land on the edge of the large triangle area at the baseline, and the speed of its rebound was very fast.
Tap tap tap.
Tap, tap, tap! Gao Wen took small steps to adjust. There was not much space left for the two-handed backhand swing, so Gao Wen simply gave up the long backswing and just turned his racket at a fan-like angle of about 45 degrees to the side. Then the racket could already feel the impact of the tennis ball.
Press forward! Lean forward! Charge forward!
Although the swing could not be completed, Gao Wen still used body movements to add strength. Then the swing of his forearm and wrist was significantly accelerated, and the speed of the racket head immediately increased strongly. With a movement of "White Crane Spreading Its Wings", he pushed out the entire two-handed backhand swing.
Bang! Slash.
Diagonal.
Gawain did not force a change of line, but suppressed the power and speed of the tennis ball, tearing the angle apart, aiming from his own baseline triangle at the opponent's baseline triangle at the opposite diagonal line; and Gawain aimed at the blind spot, quickly and accurately forcing Cilic's footsteps into the corner of the mold.
Tap, tap, tap! Tap, tap, tap! It was obvious that Cilic's footwork was a little chaotic, so that the balance of his two-handed backhand swing was also affected.
In a hurry, completing the defense had become the only thought in Cilic's mind. He pushed it out with a two-handed backhand for the second time in a row and returned along the original path.
Bang! Cilic stumbled two steps to his left just after the shot was completed, and was obviously squeezed. He was the first to attack sideways, but Gawain still found a way to turn the situation around. Then Cilic noticed that Gawain had entered the baseline.
Not good. Not good!
Gawain took a step forward and cut into the baseline. His attacking awareness was very strong and firm. Although Cilic had just saved two break points, Gawain remained calm and rational. He kept a clear mind on the strokes and layout, and immediately followed up when he saw the confusion in Cilic's steps.
One step! With just this small step, Gao Wen took the initiative to meet the ball, raised his backhand with both hands, and hit it directly without hesitation.
Grab the rising point!
Gao Wen further compressed the tempo of the rounds, and his two-handed backhand was extremely firm and decisive, with the racket head speed and closing action being very precise.
Swish, bang! Straight line!
Alarm bells immediately rang in Cilic's mind, and he sprinted sideways at full speed, as if he could clearly feel his soul burning. Then he saw the tennis ball rushing towards him like a cannonball, so fast and so sharp, and the straight flight path was aimed directly at the blind spot at the baseline.
Boom boom boom! In an instant, the whole world was in turmoil, but it also froze in an instant -
Cilic's speed has reached the limit, almost, just a little bit, but Cilic still did not give up, his upper body was fully extended, his arms extended along the racket, and just at the critical point when the tennis ball was about to go out of bounds, he pushed hard.
wipe.
Cilic cut the ball in front of his forehand and cut the tennis ball back, but then he was pulled out by the powerful and fierce centrifugal force and stumbled out of the sideline, but his eyes were still fixed on the tennis ball that drew a parabola.
Spin, high-speed spin! This is a super-spinning lob, which is high but not far, just over the net and lands near the middle of the serving area. The spin and power bring huge uncertainty, and the fast falling speed may also make the high-pressure ball go off the board. A slight deviation in timing and hitting point may directly hit the tennis ball away.

And it's very outrageous.
Huh! The audience at Arthur Ashe Stadium gasped, but they held their breath the next second, staring at the tennis ball that penetrated the red sky. The gold and red were mixed with the mustard yellow, exploding brilliantly. Their hearts stopped beating in a trance.
Then, Gawain appeared.
Stretch your arms! Adjust your steps! Hold your head high! Focus your eyes! Gawain continuously took small steps to adjust his position, his eyes fixed on the flight of the tennis ball. In an instant, time in the whole world slowed down ten or a hundred times. It seemed that he could see the trajectory of the rosy breeze flowing, and then gravity pulled the tennis ball down quickly.
The acceleration of gravity makes the tennis ball fall faster and slower. It is getting closer! It is getting closer! Pushing off the ground! Stretch! Swing the racket! Pressing down! The whole hitting action is so chic and full. The sweat outlines the explosive power of the muscle lines, which is released instantly. It is like a gust of wind that pushes down hard. The whole audience resonates instantly, and it seems that the splendor of the Milky Way falling from the sky is pouring down.
High pressure in the air!
Thunderous!
High pressure, hit, win!
The tennis ball landed accurately on the court on Cilic's side, then drew a rainbow arc and flew towards the stands, disappearing in the blazing clouds of fire in the blink of an eye.
Break, success.
