Chapter 504: Go All Out
The sky above Arthur Ashe Stadium is burning, the lazy clouds are dancing in the wanton and gorgeous halo, the blue sky is dyed pink, and a touch of enchanting peacock blue can be vaguely seen rippling with layers of ripples, everything is quiet but magnificent.
The audience watched with bated breath.
Snap. Snap. Snap.
Gawain was bouncing the ball, hot sweat slowly flowing down his cheeks. The cool night breeze blew gently past him, and his skin couldn't help but tighten slightly. Subconsciously, Gawain quickly turned his racket, raised his head to look at Cilic across the court, then lowered his head again to continue bouncing the ball.
Snap. Snap. Snap.
Highly focused.
Throwing the ball, that touch of mustard yellow penetrates into the splendor of the sky and the earth, like an oil painting.
Gao Wen paused for a moment, then pushed off the ground, bent his knees, turned his body, swung his arms, and hit the ball. The entire serving action was smooth and seamless.
Whoosh! The tennis ball flies out like this: close to the body, backhand pressure.
At the last moment, rather than taking the risk of serving, Gao Wen trusted his baseline hitting ability more, so he chose to serve close.
Cilic accurately predicted Gawain's serve intention and stepped aside in advance to make room for the swing. However, Cilic did not expect Gawain to hide the side spin in his serve. After the tennis ball landed, it still went to the right, further compressing Cilic's swing space.
If Cilic turned sideways and hit the ball with his forehand, it would have been more appropriate, but Cilic predicted and moved in advance and fell into a trap.
"Calculation VS Prediction", Gao Wensheng.
Cilic had no time to regret. He forced his body to the side, but his hands were stuck at his sides and he couldn't unwind for the backhand. As a result, he barely managed to hit the ball. Then his center of gravity fell back in panic. He took small steps to control his body, his eyes anxiously following the flight of the tennis ball.
How about returning the ball!
Middle road backhand pressure——
Line, good.
Good landing point.
Although his strength and speed are average, Cilic's reflexes in desperate situations were outstanding, and he actually pushed the tennis ball very deep, almost to the baseline.
Wow! The audience exclaimed. Because of the angle of the court, many of them couldn't see clearly where the ball would land. When they saw Cilic's shot was so deep, they thought the ball was out of bounds, but they were also amazed at where Cilic's shot landed, and they couldn't help but exclaimed.
But the cheers were immediately cut off, and the stadium once again fell into a state of holding breath and staring intently at the flying tennis ball.
Gao Wen was squeezed.
He did not expect that Cilic's landing point would be so strong and basically right at his feet. If he chose to rebound, there would be no problem hitting the ball over the net, but he would not be able to attack in the second shot after serving.
Tap tap.
Gao Wen's first reaction was to retreat, taking two small steps back, forcing his body out of the way, while at the same time charging forward in the opposite direction with his forehand.
Bang! With a forehand attack while stepping back, Gao Wen completely relied on the strength of his forearm and wrist to hit the tennis ball in a straight line, flying straight to the other side of the court.
Although the force was not strong, which could be heard from the sound of hitting the ball, Gao Wen was very smart in choosing to hit the ball with the skateboard. The whole rotation was accompanied by a forward force, relying on the power of the wrist swing to increase the impact of the slide.
Huh! The Arthur Ashe Stadium erupted with low exclamations again, because Gawain's shot was also very strong and hit the baseline on Cilic's side accurately.
It was another ball that hit the wire, like a wild dance on a tightrope.
But the exclamation had just come out when it was immediately cut off and everyone stared with bated breath.
Cilic rushed over immediately, but immediately realized the hidden edge of Gawain's skateboard shot, and the powerful momentum mixed with the stormy waves rushed towards him; he did not hesitate at all, and attacked with his forehand like a heavy artillery, hitting the rising point with a very awkward and weird posture -
Unintentional.
Cilic is not good at grabbing the ball point, but because Gawain's return was too deep, he couldn't lose his defensive position, so he had to bite the bullet and grab the ball point.
Ah! Ah! Cilic exerted force, and a roar erupted from deep in his dantian. With an awkward movement, he completed a very uncomfortable shot. The only thing he could do was to use his strength to forcefully explode, using the method of "one force defeats ten skills" to complete this unconventional shot to grab the rising point.
but!
Rushing out! Exerting force! Boom! The tennis ball exploded with incredible force along the diagonal line, once again demonstrating the power of Cilic's forehand, sweeping across the entire court, like a sharp sword cutting through the sunset sky.
Wow! You can clearly hear the exclamations from the Arthur Ashe Stadium. And it's not just exclamations. The silence of the scene was broken by the waves of astonishment and shock, because the audience thought that Cilic was determined to hit the forehand this time, and the violent forehand attack actually landed in the diagonal blind spot!
pretty!
Does Cilic also want to copy Gawain's feat and save match points consecutively? However, this still requires Gawain's consent.
Pound, pound, pound! Pound, pound, pound! Gawain sprinted at full speed, his feet on the hot wheels increasing his speed to the extreme, completely forgetting himself and blending into the strong wind.

Run! Run! Run! Run! The roar of the whole stadium was beating on his eardrums, and Gawain seemed to hear the sound of his own blood boiling.
He caught up! Not only did he catch up! Gawain was able to complete the counterattack in time! Braking! Pushing off the ground! Swinging the racket! Hitting the ball! The forehand shot released all the power at this moment, and in the midst of the lightning speed, it seemed as if one could see the vastness of the storm surging in the entire court. Then the tennis ball was hit back fiercely, running through the entire court diagonally and landing on Cilic's forehand again, but -
Got guessed.
Damn it.
Gawain adjusted his steps decisively, and with a sudden stop and turn, he pushed his body in the opposite direction in an instant, and then stared at Cilic intently.
In the sight, Cilic's eyes flashed with sharpness. He led the racket with his forehand early and waited in place early, directly catching Gao Wen's return. He was very determined and decisive to attack directly, relying on the strong strength of his forehand.
Change line!
straight line!
Cilic's entire body turned fully, and all the power of his forehand whip was concentrated on the tennis ball, and it hit the ball hard! Boom! The tennis ball bombarded directly like a fireball, flying straight along the sideline, and exploded like an angry bird.
Huh! The Arthur Ashe Stadium burst into exclamations for the third time. They simply couldn't believe their eyes. In this round, almost every shot was challenging the limits of nerves. Coupled with the match point bonus, the ups and downs of tension and excitement completely broke the shackles, and every shot was heart-breaking.
There were even Croatian fans who couldn't contain their excitement and stood up directly, with their clenched fists placed next to their shoulders, ready to celebrate the score. The hustle and bustle made the entire stadium more restless and heat-wave even more turbulent, as if it could erupt at any time.
Buzz.
Buzz.
but!
Gawain was still running; Gawain was still fighting; Gawain was still burning... The dark blue figure running wildly at both ends of the baseline turned into a gust of wind, whistling past with great force, instantly suppressing all the exclamations and astonishment of the audience, and then -
The heartbeat just disappeared.
