In the third set, serve wins the game.

"40:0".

Gao Wen performed well, scoring three consecutive points and getting three consecutive counts.

"40:30".

One mistake, one opponent's winning point, two set points lost in a blink of an eye, before even blinking, the rhythm between each point in tennis is much faster than expected, and it is still a key point.

Gao Wen also realized this, and took advantage of the time to wipe off his sweat to slow down the pace.

He knew that Nadal would not surrender easily, even if there was only a little bit of energy left in his body, Nadal would fight to the end without hesitation, especially on this court, so he had no room for rejoicing or slacking off.

Taking a deep breath, and then exhaling it slowly, Gao Wen was ready.

Second District.

inner corner.

Light and nimble, the driving speed suddenly increased to 195 kilometers per hour.

Nadal's prediction was inaccurate, it all depended on his reaction, he rushed out to the right side reflexively, there was no room to swing the backhand with both hands, he barely blocked a shot with the racket, and then the tennis ball rose high——

raid.

Nadal immediately realized that Gao Wen changed his serve strategy to break the rhythm. This is not a clay court strategy, but a typical hard court serve routine.

Change does not need to be earth-shaking, a needle hidden in the cotton can turn the situation upside down.

After Nadal finished catching the ball, he immediately changed direction with a kick and a kick, moving towards his left side, preparing to defend his forehand.

From the second to the third set, Gao Wen did repeatedly put pressure on Nadal's forehand position, and succeeded many times, which also sounded the alarm for Nadal.

However…

Gao Wen's footsteps quickly entered the court. Facing a half-court attack, he was neither anxious nor flustered. Instead, he deliberately delayed for half a beat, waiting for Nadal to start, and then delayed his shot.

slash.

neutral.

Relaxed and freehand, unrestrained and free.

One back and one, one mistake and one mistake, this point has already determined the winner.

"6:4".

The victory in the third set belonged to Gao Wen.

The audience is boiling.

This also means that regardless of the outcome, Gawain has become the third player to win two sets from Nadal at Roland Garros after Isner and Soderling in the past ten years.

The audience has gone crazy.

Counting Nadal's countless brilliance and miracles at Roland Garros, two of them are the most special.

One, he has only lost one game, Soderling.

Two, he's only ever had one five-set fight, Isner.

In other words, at Roland Garros, except for the two games between Soderling and Isner, Nadal won all three or four sets.

When people talk about dominance, Nadal's performance on this venue is well-deserved as the best strong candidate in history; and behind Nadal's writing such a record, opponents include Ten years and so many top masters of different generations.

Now, the third exception occurs—

Gao Wen.

He became the third player in history to win two sets from Nadal at Roland Garros; and, at the end of the second set, he once faced four set points and was about to fall into the " 0:2" is in a desperate situation, but now they overtake and become the leading party. How can the audience not go crazy?

So, what's next?

Gawain's ending, is it Soderling or Isner?

Obviously, from the toes, Nadal will never surrender.

On the court, both players looked very calm.

The game was not over yet, Gao Wen knew this, Nadal also knew this, and the next fourth set was another brand new start.

It is precisely because of this that the Philippe Chartier Stadium became more and more lively, and the bustling crowd continued to gather here.

Before the start of the match, people had already expected that the two quarter-final matches in the lower half of the men's singles would be full of highlights, but they never expected it to be so exciting—

At the same time, the Susan Lenglen Stadium is also wonderful and cold warning.

In the Swiss Derby, Wawrinka won two sets in a row with scores of "6:4" and "6:3", taking a "2:0" lead with a big score, which fell below everyone's glasses.

As of 2015, Federer and Wawrinka have met 18 times in their careers. Federer has 16 wins and 2 losses, including a straight-set victory at the Rome Masters last month. There is no doubt that Federer is still this The most favored side in the quarter-finals.

But don't forget that Wawrinka has only beaten Federer twice, all on clay, in Monte Carlo in 2009 and 2014.

By the way, as a reminder, Monte Carlo is precisely the venue that is closest to and most similar to the Roland Garros competition environment, and is known as the weathervane of the French Open.

Perhaps, Federer is the one that is expected to win, but Wawrinka obviously will not hand over the victory easily.

In the middle of the second set of today's game, Federer asked for a medical timeout to bandage his right finger. It is temporarily unclear whether it is a scratch, a blister, or other conditions, nor can it determine the impact on the game.

But at present, Federer is indeed behind by a large score, and the situation is very, very bad.

In the third set, "4:4", the two sides were still deadlocked; moreover, both players' serve was rock solid, neither of them sent any break points, and even a tie was rare. Wawrinka, who took the lead in the game, had a slight psychological advantage.

So...unpopular?

Before the quarter-finals kicked off, calls for the four giants to join the top four swept the entire network. Among them, the most worrying one was not Nadal, but Murray, because Murray had not yet been able to win on clay in his career. Over Ferrer, he lost four fights, including a defeat at Roland Garros in 2012.

However.

Who would have thought that ~lightnovelpub.net~ will be the first two duels in the second half, the two giants Federer and Nadal are both in a desperate situation, standing on the verge of elimination.

Tension, excitement, and a lot of discussion, the whole Roland-Garros is boiling with it. Even if they can't enter the scene to watch the game, people come to the scene to feel the atmosphere of the game. The feeling and experience of thousands of fans gathered together to watch the game, It's very different from watching the game on TV at home.

On the one hand, people expect Federer to usher in an explosion in the third set, keeping the suspense of the game.

On the other hand, people are curious about the trend of the fourth set between Nadal and Gao Wen. The two players contributed top performances in the first three sets. Any slight deviation, the current situation may be different.

So, what about the fourth set?

To the right, whether Federer can launch a Jedi counterattack; to the left, Nadal and Gao Wen once again interpreted a new magnificent chapter of "Big Four VS Challengers".

This is a difficult choice, but what is unexpected but reasonable is that people are still unable to resist the "suspense" after all, and they gather towards the Philippe Chattier Stadium one after another. It's been a long time since it was played, and it makes people deeply feel the magic of competitive sports.

More than charm.
