Chapter 651: Equally matched

Incredible.

incredible!

Facing a break point and a set point, Murray showed his courage, took the lead, and seized the initiative with a skillful skateboard diagonal shot, creating an extremely difficult and extremely passive situation.

Judging from the position, landing point and line, even if Gawain can complete the defense, all the advantages have been lost, and Murray can take the absolute initiative; moreover, the diagonal line is a high-probability event, at least more than 95%.

After all, Gao Wen was moving quickly to save the ball and defend, his center of gravity was unstable and his balance was shaking, and there was almost no room for changing line. It was too difficult and risky.

Unfortunately, Gawain didn't.

At the critical moment, Gao Wen once again showed the courage and boldness he had during the US Open. He dared to take risks and take action. He seized the opportunity that might be less than 5%. His body flew into the air, but he still tried to change the line. Moreover, he did not change the line rashly and forcefully, but was already prepared during the movement.

Firm! Resolute! Clean!

After "missing" the games between the Imperial City and the Magic City, Gawain finally returned to the court in Valencia, and regained his touch through one tough battle after another.

When taking action, you cannot just have the courage to take action, you also need to ensure the success rate.

So, what about this time?

Boom! The tennis ball hit like a meteor and hit the ball accurately into the bottom line triangle on the right forehand side of Murray.

Blind spot!

In!

The sound of people gasping for air could be clearly heard at the scene, and they were dumbfounded and stunned.

Murray still did not give up and continued to move sideways with big strides. Obviously, the distance he moved from the center of the court was not long, but because his center of gravity had shifted, his second start speed was slow, and his steps still could not keep up. He was in a very awkward situation and was forced to make a lunge, leaning his upper body out and stretching out with all his strength.

From offense to defense, from defense to offense, the offensive and defensive transitions between Gawain and Murray were breathtaking to watch.

Murray was about to fall, but he managed to slice the ball with his forehand and almost reached the ball. However, Murray's talent for touch could be seen at this time. It seemed that he just saw the upper part of the racket lightly touching the tennis ball, but the tennis ball flew back into the court.

Delicate, soft and precise.

In the sight, the tennis ball flew out a high parabola and flew diagonally.

Although Murray performed the ultimate defense, the return line and rotation were out of control. It was a half-court high ball.

Gawain, you are a very fast walker.

On the previous shot, he took a series of small steps to adjust himself, regain his center of gravity, and then he reached the baseline immediately, staring intently at the trajectory of the return ball, and his feet cut into the court along a diagonal line.

In the next shot, his eyes were already fixed on the tennis ball. He completed a full smash from top to bottom near his chest, aiming his forehand at the blind corner in the straight line and attacking with all his strength, releasing the power instantly.

Then, he continued to move forward without stopping, following the hitting action, and went to the net to put pressure. His 193-centimeter height covered all of Murray's return routes, because he knew: Murray would definitely have the next shot.

Sure enough, one could see a white figure running through the entire venue, creating a huge wave of air.

It can be seen that Murray's prediction this time was accurate. He rushed out with a push of his feet, and his dazzling footsteps arrived in the blink of an eye.

Continuously passive.

However, Murray, almost losing his balance, released all his strength with his two-handed backhand and hit a straight line, fast, sharp, flat and aggressive.

Break the net, through! Murray aimed at the gap on Gawain's forehand and finished the shot.

Standing in front of the net, Gao Wen was less calm and more cautious, but his reflexes were still very fast. He leaped into the air and flew towards the top of the goal, intercepting the ball with his forehand.

The next second, he could feel a strong, rotating force continuously hitting the strings, striking Gawain's wrist incredibly, but Gawain had complete control of the racket face, pressing downward at a 30-degree angle, and relying on the strength of his forearm and wrist to block the ball directly forward.

Blocked shot!

Intercept!

Then--

Gravity pulled my body down rapidly, my eyes always following the direction of the flight of the tennis ball. As soon as my feet felt the solidity of the ground, I took small steps to adjust. Then I saw Murray rushing to the front court as if he had teleported, and he launched an attack without even standing firmly.

The situation reversed again.

Murray held the racket tightly with both hands, bent his knees, and hit the ball from bottom to top, completing a large diagonal backhand shot and launching a full-scale counterattack.

Ah! Murray's breath was already out of control after running repeatedly, but his strength was still released along with the roar of the sound, hitting back heavily and powerfully, full of passion.

Ah! However, before the sound could be fully released, Murray saw a dark blue color rushing towards him like a strong wind.

When the tennis ball just passed the net and before it passed through, a wall had already blocked it. Accurate prediction, advance movement and flexible footsteps allowed the blue whirlwind to block it in the first place and hit it back hard.

Bang.

state.

Just like table tennis.

Then--

Score!

"Set, high!"

Murray looked up at the sky, his shoulders drooping in depression and powerlessness, and he let out an angry roar, but his voice was drowned out by the thunderous roar of the whole audience. In the corner of his sight, he could see Gawain jumping high, his clenched fists flying towards the sky.

Ahhh! Ahhh! One after another, one after another, Gawain released himself to his heart’s content.

In this last point, the two players went from defense to offense, from offense to defense, and finally entered a close combat situation, but Gao Wen gritted his teeth and completed the fatal blow. The offensive and defensive transitions between them have brought the status of both players to the extreme.

The roar was not only because of winning the first set, but more because the fierce confrontation released all his energy. This is why he loves tennis. The endless energy of fighting continued to hit his chest, and the boiling blood was burning wantonly, so wonderful and so gorgeous.

His right fist was clenched tightly, his passion surging.

Gawain looked at the frustrated and irritated Murray across the court with bright eyes. It seemed as if his eyes could shoot arrows, showing his desire and belief in victory.

It is to fight for a place in the year-end finals, to strive for the Valencia championship, and to go all out to defeat Murray.

More importantly, they fought to the end just for a match and a contest! Murray was very frustrated. Losing the first set was not terrible, but losing his serve in such a way and losing the first set was terrible.

Gao Wen seized the first break point and set point.

The audience applauded loudly, but Murray was very dissatisfied with himself. He turned to look at his player box, roaring and venting his anger.

Obviously, Gawain is eager to win, and Murray is equally eager to win, and is no less eager.

If Gawain thought that he had taken control of the game by winning the first set, then this was the beginning of losing his touch of the game. Gawain knew this clearly: Murray, like Djokovic and Nadal, would never surrender easily. Never underestimate their power of counterattack.
