In the twelfth game, Federer's serve.

In the strong collision of chasing each other and coming and going, one can clearly feel Gawain's rising momentum, subtly suppressing Federer.

Gawain, who entered the Saiyan mode, went crazy straight away, and his offensive touch was so hot that he was so hot. Every attack was aimed at the corners and corners to let go. No matter how he played, he switched from defense to offense and dominated the game. For the second time in a row, he launched a fierce offensive on Federer's serve.

Obviously, Gao Wen hoped to be able to go all out and seize the opportunity to forcefully break the balance of confrontation between the two sides, and directly pocket the victory of the fourth set.

Federer also realized this. As a legend, he also regained his focus and adjusted his breathing, trying to stand firm and withstand the opponent's offensive.

One come, one go, not giving an inch, the bayonet saw red, no one thought that this would become the most intense round since the start of the match today.

On the one hand, Federer saved four break points and took inventory successively, gritted his teeth and persisted on the edge of the cliff.

In one game, they were entangled for nine minutes, but it was still "40:40", and they returned to familiar positions time and time again.

Time seems to have stopped here.

He won the fifth break point of the game. In the fifth inventory of the fourth set, he took the initiative again.

"ah!"

Very, very rarely, Federer lost his composure, let out a violent and angry growl, and was extremely dissatisfied with his own performance—

again! again! Another break point has to be saved.

"Damn it!"

Federer stood on the bottom line, muttering and cursing to himself, venting all the negative emotions in his chest, trying to regain his composure.

"...a little digression, the scene in front of me reminds me of the final between Djokovic and Gao Wen in the Paris Masters last year."

"At that time, Djokovic swept all the way to the promotion, and a series of opponents failed to bring him enough impact. It was the same when he faced Gao Wen in the final. The first set went smoothly, but at the end of the second set, Gao Wen finally Find the rhythm and launch a counterattack, and the quality of the entire game has improved."

"Of course, as the number one in the world, Djokovic still launched a strong confrontation. However, the intensity and tenacity of the whole game was still not as good as that of Gao Wen. In the end, Gao Wen saved the match point and defeated Djokovic for the first time. Masters Champion."

"Right now, the same is true for Roger."

"There is no doubt that this should be the toughest and most difficult challenge for Roger since the grass season this year. The whole intensity and quality are different."

"It's a hurdle."

"Ten minutes ago, Roger held two consecutive match points in his serve; but now, he must face the severe test of the fifth set point."

Even McEnroe in the commentary can hardly control his excitement, and he analyzes the game from different perspectives, not to mention the audience?

The atmosphere in the audience is boiling.

"Crack! Roger!"

"Crack! Roger!"

From Federer to Gawain and then to Federer, the cheers from the center court were overwhelming, and Federer's fans burst out with incredible energy—

they need a belief

In the past month, Federer has only been broken twice, and he will definitely not encounter consecutive breaks; Federer has saved four break points in this round, and the fifth break point will definitely be able to continue to save. They need to believe Federer, keep fighting.

"Crack! Roger!"

The roar of the mountain and the tsunami were deafening.

Federer was ready, after a brief vent, he regained his calm and rationality, and looked calmly at Gawain on the other side of the court.

Second District.

One shot. inner corner.

Speed, 128 mph (206 km).

Like an arrow.

Entering the zone smoothly, it can be seen at this time that Federer's emotional catharsis just now played a role, he quickly calmed down and regained his serving state.

Gawain, it's all about reflex—

One stride, a forehand strike.

The only good news is that Federer pursued speed and strength, but did not pursue the ultimate line and landing point, and the inner corner did not press down on the T point.

Forehand, no swing, just straight forearm and hit the top.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Wen was holding the racket and supporting the ground with the racket. He made an emergency brake, relied on the racket to control the center of gravity, and quickly adjusted the center of gravity with small steps. Then he saw Federer attack with a forehand sideways.

Gawain's return was slightly on the backhand position in the middle, but the parabola was completely upward, floating and slow, and the landing point was not deep enough, lacking threat. Naturally, Federer's second attack connection would not be merciful, and he chose without hesitation. Sideways forehand, ready to shoot deadly.

But see.

Federer's footsteps were light, nimble, and free and easy. He turned sideways, soared into the air, and struck out with his forehand like a whip.

In the same situation and the same situation, Federer hit a sideways forehand straight in the last game, but Gawain scored in the end of that round.

So, what about this time?

Sideways forehand slash.

There was no hesitation in the whole batting action, and the rhythm was grasped, as fast as lightning, the forehand had already been struck, and the tennis ball turned into a light and shadow.

Before Gao Wen had time to make a judgment, his body had reacted by conditioned reflex, moving in small steps continuously, and sprinting towards the backhand at lightning speed.

A split is to get in place in time, and it is also for emergency braking, and the backhand with both hands has already struck.

Rather than hitting the ball, it is better to say it is pushing back with force, forcibly pushing back Federer's sideways forehand attack without reservation.

go straight.

The difference is that Gao Wen's wrist is wrapped, and when the forearm is completely straight, he pushes out a straight shot.

Although he didn't take the initiative to exert force and lacked a little strength, his rhythm and speed were raised to a whole new level, low and flat, just like a hummingbird.

Huh!

The audience, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com exclaimed—

The tennis ball almost flew past the net, and it was about to touch the net and even fall off the net, but it passed the net dangerously, and fell quickly without even wiping the net.

With one shot, just one shot, Gao Wen evened out the disadvantage and forced Federer into a defensive state.

However, Federer is not embarrassed.

Because of Gao Wen's return, the line was still too short, coupled with the lack of strength, leaving enough time for Federer to cross the court and complete the defense.

Federer observed while moving. Although he was not embarrassed, it was still very difficult to move after giving up the whole court with a sideways forehand. He needed to race against time to get the right point of hitting the ball. Then, Federer made another inspiration A flash of choice.

Tap lightly.

Forehand, hit lightly with one shot, pull out a full diagonal parabola, aim at the sideline of Gao Wen's forehand position, hit the ball not in the deep area, but in the shallow area.

Whoosh, it's like serving a ball from the outside corner of the first area.
