Match Point

Chapter 1856: Adjust for

Wonderful, keep going—

Match Day 10, Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Night club, first show.

"Gawain VS Gasquet".

Why is the US Open Organizing Committee so bold and crazy to abandon the focus of "Halep VS Azarenka" and arrange two men's singles games in the night?

Because they have such confidence.

Whether it is the "Youth Storm VS Challenger League 2.0" between Gao Wen and Gasquet, or the "Swiss Derby" between Federer and Wawrinka, this is the absolute focus that deserves it, from the media to the audience, from fans to passers-by, social media The focus on the Internet has already been laid out in an all-round way.

Facts also prove that the boldness of the event organizing committee has been rewarded—

The attendance rate is 100%.

Tickets for the night show have already been sold out.

On the black market, there is something marketable but priceless. Despite this, a large number of fans still arrived in Flushing. While the matinee game was still going on, they had already held up signs asking for votes, hoping to miss them, even if there were none. It’s okay to be successful and continue to watch the game from the outfield.

National carnival.

Gawain is at "half home" and Federer is at "global home". These two powerful box-office callers can easily ignite the enthusiasm for watching the game.

This is also the first time since the start of this year's US Open that all tickets for a night event have been sold out.

After all, no one wants to miss the quarterfinals.

As for the first or second game, there is nothing wrong with the arrangement of the tournament organizing committee. The Swiss Derby will undoubtedly become the last major game of the day, and Gao Wen and Gasquet will appear as the finale, slowly opening the first game. At the beginning of ten matchday nights, the Arthur Ashe Stadium was buzzing with excitement.

When people discuss this matchup, there is no doubt that Gao Wen is the more optimistic side. It has completely reversed the previous decline in Gao Wen being generally criticized. Entering the critical moment of the Grand Slam, Gao Wen's game temperament Clearly becoming a favored side among professionals and fans alike.

But the point is, in competitive sports, anything is possible.

Moreover, this year's US Open is full of weird things. Unbelievable situations abound, and that kind of inexplicable and weird aura lingers.

So, does Gasquet have a chance?

certainly! no doubt!

On Gao Wen's side, although it can be seen from the last game against Agut that the injury has no impact, it still exists objectively after all; in addition, in Flushing this year, Gao Wen has not faced any of the top 20 players in the world. Players, the intensity of confrontation is far lower than expected.

From a long absence from the game to an unexpected injury, can Gao Wen improve his condition when he collides with the top 20 and top 10 players in the world?

This is a question mark.

On Gasquet's side, although the historical record and past experience are not on his side, and the problem of losing the chain at critical moments is already a stubborn problem, the outbreak of the 2015 season is a transformation that is obvious to all. He is ushering in the best season of his career. The most outstanding and glorious season of success.

At the beginning of the year, Gasquet won his twelfth championship in Portugal, becoming one of the top ten active players in the ATP Tour finals.

Although Melbourne's loss to Anderson in the third round was disappointing, his subsequent performances in the Roland Garros semi-finals and Wimbledon semi-finals were impressive. Both Grand Slams were lost to Djoko. Vicky, the world ranking has reached thirteenth, infinitely close to regaining the top ten ranks.

In terms of pure Grand Slam record, Gasquet has ushered in the best performance of his career as he advanced to the quarterfinals in Flushing.

In the North American summer season, like Federer, he chose to withdraw from the Rogers Cup due to minor injuries, but then also broke into the quarterfinals in Cincinnati.

The stability and consistency of the overall performance have significantly improved compared to the past. When the challenger leagues such as Berdych, Ferrer, Cilic and others fell into troughs due to injuries, Gasquet seized the opportunity. The opportunity to improve his form and improve his level became one of the highlights of the season.

Gasquet

, already prepared.

The two players are adding and subtracting, going back and forth, and the chips on both sides of the balance of victory are slightly closer. In the end, it still depends on on-the-spot performance.

This quarter-finals battle is worth looking forward to—

The winner will face the winner of Federer and Wawrinka in the next match. No matter who the opponent is, this means that the state needs to be further improved.

It is conceivable that the test of this quarterfinal match will be the best platform to polish one's own condition, improve one's own level and test one's own level.

This is especially true for Gawain. Step by step, his opponents are stronger and better than the last. Can he keep up with his adjustments?

Under the spotlight, Gasquet and Gauvin appeared one after another, and Arthur Ashe Stadium welcomed them with overwhelming applause and cheers. ap.

A rolling heat wave erupted and burned under the peacock blue New York sky.

—Both players lived up to expectations.

"1:1".

"2:2".

"3:3".

In the opening stage, they were not only steady, but also strong. Both players started the game according to their own pre-match plans, and no one was able to open up the gap.

The best thing about Gasquet's performance since the grass court season is the smoothness of his offense.

Although Gasquet is not a violent player like the Hulk, his offense is like a six-vein sword. It is not only free and easy, but also full of power. It relies on the combined impact of rhythm, speed, tail power and ball quality. Clean, pleasing to the eye, and with excellent continuity, it is like a wave, layer upon layer, continuous.

Especially the backhand.

The one-handed backhand is of the same school as Federer and Dimitrov. The entire stretch, connection, control and swing of the swing is definitely a visual enjoyment.

On his backhand, Gasquet was often able to hit incredible shots that were sudden, unexpected, neat, sharp, and clean, overturning the situation in one fell swoop.

Therefore, against Gasquet, choosing to suppress the backhand is the correct tactic. However, if the suppression cannot be maintained continuously, or the quality of the ball drops, or the tactical intention is too obvious, Gasquet has the ability to counterattack with one shot. The ability is the same when facing the Big Four.

Judging from the opening, Gasquet is indeed at the peak of his confidence now. The entire shot is very clear and crisp. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com is supported by confidence. There is no hesitation or hesitation in the shot. The feel and condition are really hot, and the offense is flowing smoothly. Remain absolutely strong and not afraid of facing Gawain head-on.

Facing Gawain, Gasquet is fully prepared, not only to face difficulties, but also to win.

Understated and tough.

So, what about Gawain?

In fact, if professionals observe carefully, they can notice that Gao Wen also made targeted adjustments for this game.

Different from any of the previous four rounds, Gao Wen showed his aggressiveness and took the initiative in the first game of this game.

In other words, Gawain and Gasquet faced each other head-on, with both players trying to compete for the right to attack in a powerful collision.

Such Gao Wen has definitely never been seen before at this year's US Open.
