Chapter 702 Emotional Flaws
Huff, huff.
The sound of panting filled the air.
Both players on the court were very calm. The next two points were both from Djokovic's serve. He looked up at Gawain and then started to bounce the ball.
District 2.
Snap. Snap. Snap.
This time, Djokovic took a full ten shots. He seemed a little tense, but not so anxious, and soon found inner peace.
Close range and forehand pressure.
Forehand again?
However, this time Gao Wen noticed that the entire side spin was very obvious, and after landing and rebounding, it still drilled towards his body, further squeezing him.
Gawain took a series of small steps, trying to make room, but was still a little short. As a result, he leaned his upper body back and swept the ball across with an awkward movement, relying entirely on the strength of his forearm and wrist to push the ball, hitting the tennis ball back in a whip-like manner.
Forehand in the middle, pressing deep area.
Although it lacks a little power, the landing point and line are still good.
Djokovic took two small steps to adjust, and his forehand had already drawn a very straight line, like a right angle, and sent the tennis ball back along the original path.
The detail lies in that the entire connection speed is very fast, and the landing point is pressed very deeply, without repeated lines with tearing angles to further form extrusion.
Rustling.
Gao Wen took a series of small steps and moved sideways to the left. He further moved sideways to make room for his forehand. With a push off the ground and a turn, the power of his forehand swing burst out instantly.
"ah!"
Because the center of gravity was unstable, the burst of power roared out along with the sound, and the forehand used the strength of the forearm to actively attack in a diagonal line.
Skateboard slash.
The tennis ball shot out quickly, light and fast, turning into an arrow.
But then, as Gawain was adjusting his center of gravity, he immediately realized that something was wrong: Oops.
Got guessed.
Djokovic anticipated this diagonal skateboard attack. He moved his feet in advance and rushed to the backhand position early.
Gao Wen's position has been pulled to the sideline of the backhand position, which also means that the entire forehand court has been cleared.
Oops!
Gao Wen braked suddenly with his left foot to control his body, and rushed out in the next second.
My knees feel a little weak.
But there was no hesitation in the action of pushing off the ground, and he continued to push off the ground again and again, and the speed was restored. However, the acceleration was still affected by the slight delay just now.
hurry up.
Faster.
Speed up! Gao Wen was running wildly, and he could see Djokovic had successfully arrived at the right position, holding up his backhand with both hands, and completing the shot very firmly and decisively.
straight line!
It is a straight line indeed! But!
Djokovic was not aware that Gawain's skateboard shot had strong side spin and tail power, and the whole rise was full of stamina. The ball was so heavy that Djokovic's center of gravity was squeezed, and he groaned because of the strong force.
ah.
Then the tennis ball flew out.
A straight, straight line.
Gawain was still running, but he was about to fall behind.
"Out."
The linesman raised his right hand very firmly, indicating that Djokovic's straight return ball failed to enter the bounds.
Gawain couldn't believe his eyes -
Djokovic pursued perfection and tried to open up the angle a little more, because this was the trap he had set, and Gawain's return was all as planned, and he only needed a straight line to score.
but.
but!
Gawain's mobility and fighting ability were so outstanding that Djokovic was forced to widen the angle completely. Moreover, he adopted a completely different strategy from the previous point. The rhythm of his return was significantly improved in this point, and he broke Gawain's hitting inertia by suddenly speeding up.
Djokovic was aiming for the winning points.
However……
"Set, high!"
The referee had already announced the score directly, because the ball landed on his side. He was sitting on the high referee chair and looked over. He was very sure that it was out of bounds without any doubt.
Accident.
Absolutely unexpected!
Who could have thought that the second set would end in such a way.
"7:6 (6)".
In the final stage of the tie-break, Gao Wen saved three consecutive match points and scored five points in a row to reverse the victory.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The deciding set is here!
Gawain could no longer roar, he just clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and looked at the other side of the court with a burning gaze——
The game is not over until the last point is scored.
He ran for a glimmer of life with his feet, fought for a glimmer of hope with his hands, and then held on to it tightly.
victory?
There is still one more game to decide the winner, so why can't he be the winner?
Even when facing Djokovic! To be more precise, it was because of facing Djokovic that the fighting spirit was burned like never before! After all, this is the world's number one, and one of the Big Four!
Buzz buzz buzz.
Buzz buzz buzz.
The roar of the entire stadium collided together, and the center court exploded with incredible energy.
“Wow.”
"I mean, wow."
"Djokovic had taken all the difficulties and situations into account and firmly controlled the initiative, but Gawain still used his unyielding will to fight for the last bit of possibility and successfully fulfilled it."
“Incredible!”
“It’s really incredible!”
In the studio, exclamations and cheers were mixed together. The commentator held his head in disbelief, and words poured out in an endless stream.
"The mistake at the last moment was unforgivable for Djokovic, but at the same time, it was the inevitable result of Gawain's continuous pressure at the end of the second set."
"In this game, whether we win or lose, we have to tip our hats to Gawain."
"It was wonderful, really wonderful! In the second set, it can be said that Gao Wen fought alone. This was also the first set Djokovic lost in this year's Paris Masters."
"Djokovic has never faced a serious challenge in Paris. He is obviously unfamiliar with such a match intensity. We don't know how he will adjust in the future and whether he can keep up with Gawain's speed and strength in time. At the same time, it is also a question mark how much energy Gawain has in his tank."
"Let's wait and see the deciding game!"
Djokovic stood there, looking at his return line for a long time without any special reaction, then raised his head and glanced at Gawain who was clenching his fists: a bright light was flashing on that energetic and youthful face.
Then.
BANG! Without warning, Djokovic exploded, slamming his racket to the ground.
One, two, three times.
Bang! Bang, bang, bang! The pieces of the racket flew all over the sky, and in the blink of an eye they were shattered into pieces, twisted into a strange, bony shape.
Boo! The audience was stunned for a moment, frightened by Djokovic's sudden anger, but then they came to their senses and booed.
No one likes such scenes, especially the French audience, who hate it very much. So when players lose their temper on the court, the audience always booes them, even the local favorites. They don't care who the target is, and no one will tolerate such impolite behavior.
But Djokovic seemed to have gotten used to it. After smashing his racket, he calmed down and walked towards the players' rest area with an expressionless face.
