Latest website: The progress of the fourth set was a little turbulent, but after all, it still failed to break the pattern.

Indeed, Isner did become more proactive. When he fell behind by a large score, he had no way out, and going all out was the only option.

Especially in Gawain's serve game, Isner realized that he needed to do something - since he could break Gawain's serve game in the second set, why couldn't he replicate it in the fourth set?

However, Isner is not a player with rich and varied tactics. From serving to hitting, he mainly uses flat shots. "Change", that is, exert force—

Try to hit the flat shot faster and flatter, increase the speed and power, and form a suppression.

However, because Isner's movement speed is not fast, the connection speed between one attack and the next attack has not improved, which also means that the batting rhythm is still in a stable state; moreover, there are few changes in the line combination.

Such a "change" really didn't work for Gao Wen.

do you remember?

At the U.S. championship game in Athens, the game where Gawain gave Kerbert a double yolk?

Gawain did have his own way of dealing with powerful cannon players:

Changes in rotation, rhythm, and line create interference and destroy the opponent's rhythm all the time, and then find the gap. By breaking the expected pattern of return line arrangement and combination, in the opponent's stormy attack Use your own power to create opportunities to overturn the situation.

Isner was changing, and Gao Wen was also changing.

Of course, Isner's batting quality, returning power, and continuous offensive ability are all far better than Kerbert's, and his ability to defend one more shot is also better, so he is still made for Gawain. Overcame many difficulties, and dedicated many beautiful offenses in this set.

Thunderous applause.

However, Gawain's brain that keeps running can always complete the layout first, and it always makes Isner fall into a passive position, especially the rotation.

In the first three sets, on the whole, Gao Wen still focused on flat shots, with not many spin changes, occasionally interspersed with some topspin or backspin shots, but most of the time it was passive cutting. The main tactics were Break through Isner's forehand with a combination of hitting lines.

In the fourth set, Gao Wen's active changes gradually increased, and the entire tactics became light and changeable. The changes often took the lead before Isner, which effectively curbed Isner's forceful use of fighting tactics. , the elusive underspin and side spin caught Isner by surprise.

Calculation and anti-calculation, a game is being staged.

In fact, objectively speaking, in the fourth set, both Gao Wen and Isner's physical strength fluctuated significantly, and the hot weather brought a severe test. Both sides' batting quality declined, which inevitably affected the excitement of the game.

However, instead of the "strength VS strength" battle method, more confrontations at the technical and tactical levels are seen, and the content of the competition is also rich and exciting; moreover, Gao Wen's maturity and skill at the tactical level are gradually highlighted, which is once again impressive. Bright.

It is precisely because of this that Isner's ability on the serving end is also fully demonstrated.

Looking at the entire fourth set, Isner's ACE number and first serve success rate all declined significantly, and the loosening of his serve was very obvious. Find the ACE feel at the critical moment and save the situation.

Strong serving strength is indeed an unsolvable problem.

When Isner took the lead at "5:4" and "6:5", Gao Wen withstood the pressure twice in a row to secure serve, continuing the stalemate all the way, and then...

"6:6".

The fourth set will enter the tiebreak again, and the outcome of the fourth set will be determined by the gambling tiebreak. The Arthur Ashe Stadium has become a volcano.

"Come on, John..."

"John, come on! Come on!"

"Ho **** ho ho! Woo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!"

The audience in the stadium made all kinds of strange noises, and it was extremely noisy. Looking around, you can find that the audience stands of Arthur Ashe Stadium have been seated for almost one-third, which is in stark contrast to the sparseness at the beginning.

It seems that everyone knows that the game at Arthur Ashe Stadium is particularly tight, and this year's top hope among American players is facing a serious challenge, and then one or two have gathered to slowly fill the stadium stands.

Then, at this moment, the home field advantage is very obvious.

Almost all the audience are cheering for Isner, and now they have no leisure to cheer for their opponents. Whether they want to see Isner win and advance, or hope that this wonderful match will enter a five-set battle, the audience is very excited. You have to cheer for Isner.

The referee had to repeat "Come on, players are ready" three times before forcing the party-loving New Yorkers to quiet down a bit.

In the tie-break, Isner served first.

The ACE ball opens.

boom!

In an instant, the audience erupted into a tsunami of cheers, even directly drowning out the voice of the referee reporting the score. Everyone stood behind Isner and gave Isner motivation with the utmost enthusiasm. .

Not only the two players standing on the court, but even Jiang Yanyun and Gao Hongli in the player's box could feel the heat wave deeply. Their hearts could hardly bear the powerful energy and burst, and they couldn't help but feel the heat all over their bodies. My muscles tensed up, and I even forgot to breathe.

Then, Gao Wen, who was standing on the court, was completely absorbed in it, completely forgetting himself, and was completely unmoved——

ACE, isn't that what Isner is doing? Why be surprised? Why waver?

Gao Wen still proceeded at his own pace—

A straight forehand was scored, a backhand was sliced ​​and Isner went off the net, and Gawain's two serve points were firmly in the bag.

In a blink of an eye, the score has come to a "3:3" exchange of venues. The first six points were all served points. If you were a little dazed, you would think it was a copy and paste of the third set, at least from the point of view of the score, UU Read www.uukanshu.com, but the mood and state are completely different:

Because the possibility of the match point appearing is getting closer and closer, the moods of both opponents will inevitably undergo subtle changes.

So, will Isner "allow" Gawain to get the match point?

Three points, there are still three points, sometimes, three points are just a short moment; but sometimes, three points are like a moat, which can never be crossed.

After the exchange of venues, Gao Wen served.

ACE!

"4:3, Gao Wen sent his second ACE ball in the fourth set, a very precious and very important ACE, so that the two sides still maintained a balance of power, Gao Wen put the pressure on Isner again, the test It's time for Isner to serve."

"There are still two points to the appearance of the match point; there are still three points to the creation of history."

Even just imagining it, the voice trembled slightly involuntarily.
