Match Point

Chapter 1566: Waiting for an opportunity

In the commentary seat, the air was slightly tense, and there was a short silence gap—

In a tennis match, the narrator tries to avoid talking between the rounds and disturbing the attention of the audience watching the ball. However, between rounds and rounds, the commentator needs to make every effort to ensure the vitality of the live broadcast of the whole event. Interpretation presents more varied challenges.

But at this time, it was the gap between the rounds, and the commentary seat still did not speak. The passionate commentary of the French commentator next door broke in. Tong Kexin immediately realized the tension of the atmosphere, and a little slower It took half a beat, but still subconsciously opened his mouth to fill the gap in the live broadcast.

"Now the situation in the fourth set is a bit stalemate."

One sentence is enough. Xu Yang, the commentator partner, understood it, and immediately nodded slightly, and took over the conversation, "Indeed, the two sides are seeing each other."

Last month's Roland Garros, although Gao Wen regretted stopping the semi-finals and ending the 19-game winning streak in the Grand Slam, his outstanding performance still caused a frenzy of discussion, and the entire Chinese mainland was crazy about it, from ratings to trending searches The list has been swept across the board, and the discussion heat has been comparable to that of the World Cup.

The media, large and small, have already sensed business opportunities in Gao Wen. If it weren't for the fact that the schedule from the clay court season to the grass court season is too dense, invitations to invite Gao Wen to participate in programs and activities should have filled a room.

Although Tobias rejected all the proposals and made it clear that all commercial activities will be postponed for the time being, and Gao Wen needs to prepare for the grassland season wholeheartedly, but it does not mean that the media will have nothing to do, and there is a sweet bun in front of him:

Wimbledon.

This time at the All England Club, in addition to the traditional TV station team headed by CCTV, the giants of the fully-emerging online broadcast platform have also been dispatched one after another.

Although Gao Wen did not perform well in the warm-up match on the grass, and the record of one win and one loss was indeed lackluster, the media, large and small, were still full of expectations.

According to incomplete statistics, the Huaxia media team of different media and platforms has more than 300 people. Its CCTV also sent a complete team to give Wimbledon the highest treatment. They did not choose to live broadcast in the studio of the imperial capital, but went to the All England Club Live first-line live broadcast.

After the Australian Open at the beginning of the year, Tong Kexin and Xu Yang partnered again as commentators—

Among tennis fans, there is a saying that Tong Kexin is the lucky star of Djokovic. As long as she explained the matches, Djokovic won the final championship; but in Melbourne Park, Tong Kexin As a new commentator, he witnessed the glorious moment when Gao Wen broke the spell.

When it came to Roland Garros, Tong Kexin didn't continue to explain, so Gao Wen ended his winning streak in the Grand Slam.

This time, CCTV once again selected Tong Ke's new partner Xu Yang, hoping to bring some luck to Gao Wen's Wimbledon prospects.

Urgent situation.

Xu Yang appeared to be low-key and calm. Even if he was nervous, he still spoke at a leisurely pace, observing the progress of the game calmly and comprehensively.

"Objectively speaking, at the end of the third set, Gao Wen's state did pick up a little bit, and his grasp of the key points was very good, but one fact that cannot be denied is that Istomin's performance after winning the match point fluctuated obviously. , the closer you are to victory, the easier it is to be distracted."

"Gao Wen is a player who is very good at analyzing games and grasping opportunities. He noticed Istomin's fluctuations and immediately adjusted his tactics. He played three games in a row and successfully won the third set. "

"However, Gao Wen's own sense of the ball is still being adjusted, and his game quality has improved a bit, but it is still not at its best; at the same time, entering the fourth set, Istomin's psychological fluctuations gradually calmed down. He got back into shape again, so the game was deadlocked."

— "2:2".

In the fourth set, in the first four rounds, both players kept serve and maintained a balance of power.

"From the perspective of the overall situation, Istomin still has the upper hand. He has continued the confidence and state he won in Nottingham last week to Wimbledon. Except for the moment when the victory in the third set was within reach, he was distracted. The performance was really impeccable, and it was the same in the fourth set."

"However, Gao Wen's batting feeling in the fourth set slowly came back. He is constantly improving his state and trying to feel the batting feeling of Wimbledon."

"We all know that Gao Wen is a very smart player. He is always thinking, trying and taking risks. From another perspective, the stalemate in the fourth set is also a scene that was not seen in the first three sets. Now Gao Wen has been able to slow down the game and look for opportunities."

"It can be clearly seen that Gao Wen's forehand feeling is returning, but some backhand shots still need to be polished."

As far as Xu Yang is concerned, he is nervous, but he is more looking forward to it, curious about the direction of the fourth set.

"Hmm..." Tong Kexin pondered for a while, then chuckled, "So, now we can't rely on luck to help like in the third set, and we must see the truth next, right?"

The words are correct, but why does it sound weird?

Xu Yang glanced at his partner, but he was no longer surprised. Just in time, Istomin was ready to serve, so he closed his mouth accordingly.

Stalemate, still going on.

"3:3".

In a blink of an eye, the fourth set was coming to an end. The whole game progressed quickly, continuing the grassland's usual style, and it was over if you didn't pay attention.

At the same time, changes, ups and downs, and accidents come very quickly. If you can't keep up with the rhythm at the first time, you may completely lose your initiative in the next second.

That was the case at the end of the third set.

Istomin only focused his attention for a moment, but the match point break point count was already whistling past. Before he had time to understand what was going on, the third set was already in the past tense~lightnovelpub.net~ Then they went Standing on the court for the fourth set, the battle continued.

If Istomin wanted to upset Gawain, he would have to start over in the fourth set.

Similarly, the fourth set was no exception; moreover, the change this time came a little earlier.

From the point of view of the score, "3:3", this is the middle of a game, neither forward nor backward, neither up nor down, neither the beginning nor the end, no need to be too nervous, just focus on your own game; But often, it is such a "boring, mediocre, boring" stage that is easy to be distracted—

Istomin, the extreme physical fitness has appeared.

In fact, Gao Wen is also facing the test of extreme physical fitness. On this point, the two players are the same.

It is precisely because of this that in the first half of the fourth set, both players spent more energy on their serve, saving their energy to keep their serve.

For top players, extreme physical fitness does not mean that the entire game is completely paralyzed, but the quality of the shot is reduced, so tactical adjustments are required. Different players have their own backup tactical routines under physical difficulties. See the difference between top players and super players.

Gao Wen immediately noticed Istomin's plight.
