Chapter 1948: 1 arrow pierces the heart

Latest URL: Bang. Snapped. Snapped.

The whole place was completely silent, except for the sound of Djokovic batting the ball. The stadium was filled with echoes. Unknowingly, the beating of the heart was intertwined with the rhythm of the batting. There was only a buzzing sound in my blank mind that slowly lengthened and then lengthened.

Time is extended infinitely at this moment, and one second seems to hide the magnificence and vastness of an entire century.

That was until Djokovic served.

Second District.

Djokovic's body stretched completely, and the tennis ball was thrown high into the sun.

inner angle.

The outer corner of the second area, a classic routine, with a speed of 176 kilometers per hour, light and fast enough, turning into a ball of light and shadow and flying past, and smoothly got into the teeing area.

Enter the zone!

boom!

The tennis ball jumped up quickly after landing and sprinted towards Gawain's backhand in layers. Djokovic once again improved his condition.

One shot, very impactful.

And what about Gawain?

However, with one step, just one big step, Gawain had completely pushed himself out, breaking away from the pull of gravity, and gently soared into the air.

reason?

Grab the ball.

Because time is tight and there is no time to take a step forward, it is difficult to grab the rising point by just relying on swing movements, so the jumping action is used to complete the grabbing point.

Gawain, prepare to attack and serve.

Unexpected, but reasonable.

In fact, in the fourth and fifth sets, whether it was Gao Wen or Djokovic, the quality of their serves dropped significantly, and their threat coefficient plummeted. The two players often relied more on a combination of placement and line to maintain their serves. A threat, but lacks much punch in terms of power and speed.

In other words, if the receiving side is willing to take a step forward and receive the serve in advance, they can completely catch the soft serve and launch an attack.

But neither player did.

Firstly, because of the severe physical exertion, they need to allocate their physical strength more rationally.

Secondly, because they have solid baseline skills, they all trust their bottom line abilities more than the risk-taking battle of receiving the serve.

The third reason is because the opponent is resourceful. Once he realizes that he starts to grab the return, he will often make targeted adjustments and may not be able to succeed every time. Just like Federer's "SABR", it can be used as a surprise attack with rich tactics, but It cannot be used as a conventional weapons threat.

Now, it's different.

From facing three consecutive match points at "40:0" to getting a break point at "40:AD", Gao Wen scored four points in a row, showing great momentum and taking the initiative.

If he had waited a little longer, let alone a second break point, Djokovic would have been able to find his footing; so it had to be now.

Then, Gawain took action—

Kill decisively.

Look, Djokovic's serve was not fast and had mediocre power. It was still restrained according to his usual habits. He did not notice the danger coming.

This also means that at the tactical game level, Gao Wen seizes the opportunity, and then it depends on execution.

Backhand with both hands and rise into the air.

Take action quickly!

One push, one sweep, and at the moment of release, the wrist flicked out, and the speed of the racket increased by a whole level, accumulating more power -

All released.

ah!

Exploded instantly.

Accompanied by an angry shout, the hitting movement was smooth and smooth, and the tennis ball was almost exploded, turning into a line of light and shadow along a straight line.

Arthur Ashe Stadium didn't even have time to react. There was no exclamation, no surprise, no gasp, just a dull look.

Then, thousands of eyes focused on the tennis ball, following the light and shadow as it majestically passed through the court, outlining a straight line.

An arrow to the heart!

Get into the gap.

It exploded on the ground.

On the other side of the court, Djokovic, who had just finished serving, hurriedly resumed his movements and rushed towards the forehand position with a long stride.

However, just as he started to move, the tennis ball had already hit the ground, suddenly cutting off Djokovic's breath and jumping out.

"Game, high."

Referee Ace Draghi announced the score without hesitation -

Return serve ACE.

Gao Wen ended the point in the simplest, cleanest and toughest way, and cashed in on the break point, bringing the game back to the same starting line.

Suddenly, my scalp felt numb.

ah!

Ahhhh!

Crazy, crazy, completely crazy.

From facing three consecutive match points to breaking Djokovic's serve for five consecutive points to win the game, the excitement of this final reached a new level.

His heart was beating wildly, almost rushing out of his throat.

McEnroe was stunned. He had just said one sentence, "Jesus Christ..." but before he could finish the pronunciation, he was swallowed up by the heat wave of the scene.

Qiao Wangsheng roared, roaring forgetfully and unswervingly.

"Fight!"

It's not just a roar, his heart, pulse, and soul are really beating, one after another, with a steady stream of energy.

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

In the blink of an eye, it had filled the entire place and resounded through the sky.

On the court, Gao Wen, who returned the serve and hit an ACE to win the game, did not cheer or celebrate. He just clenched his fists and stood erect, scanning the entire court with clear and hot eyes. No words or movements were needed. A high-spirited fighting spirit is released from the inside out.

He is still fighting; his heart is still beating.

In the commentary room, Zhan Jun tried to speak, but his heart was surging and his emotions were raging. Hu Litao also tried to speak, but found that his words were so pale and weak.

In the end, they fell silent and allowed the carnival in the audience to condense into a wave of energy that penetrated the live broadcast camera and spread to the world.

"Fight."

They are shouting, such a simple and simple word, but it has such a powerful power, making the heart glow with new life.

The game is not over—

"5:4".

After breaking Djokovic's serve to win the game, the two sides are now back on the same starting line, but the momentum is completely on Gawain's side.

What's more, Gawain also has the support of the entire Arthur Ashe Stadium.

So, what’s next?

If the story in Melbourne Park at the beginning of the year follows the trend, Djokovic will break Gauvin's serve again and then successfully reach the top.

But obviously, this is New York, this is a completely different game from the Australian Open final, and Djokovic and Gauvin are no longer what they were at the beginning of the year.

then-

In the tenth game, Gao Wen's serve was still a game where there was no way out and he had to protect his serve.

After a short break, Djokovic regained his composure, regained his footing, launched an attack again, and got a break point strongly.

That is the fourth match point.

At the critical moment, Gao Wen once again showed his big heart and used a straight forehand attack to force Djokovic to return the ball to the net ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ to save break point and match point.

Subsequently, Gao Wen experienced three tie-breaking tests, successfully cashed in on the second game point, saved the serve in a thrilling manner, and finally returned to balance in the deciding set.

"5:5".

Involuntarily, the heart beats faster and the blood heats up.

Remember the long-set decider between Gawain and Federer in the Wimbledon semifinals?

It's tense and exciting, even comparable to two complete games.

But this matter will not happen at the US Open, because the US Open is the only tournament among the four Grand Slams that does not use a long set. If the deciding set reaches "6:6", the next step is-

Tie-break.

Like the golden ball in a football match.

So, how will this game end?
