Latest URL: Pop!

After hitting the ball with a super-difficult backhand, Gao Wen immediately adjusted his body's center of gravity in small steps, but on the surface he did not return to his position in time to defend, but stood in his backhand position to adjust.

This is a feint.

The match between the two sides has entered the final set. In fact, the back and forth calculations have basically emptied all the bottom of the box. There is no secret in the technical and tactical level. Gao Wen knows that Burley is used to hitting the gap, and Burley also knows that Gao Wen knew that he was used to hitting the gap, so the two of them were calculating each other.

If Gao Wen immediately returned to the center to defend, then Burley may change the line of attack if he has a choice. After all, Gao Wen’s serve just now did not create enough pressure. Leigh didn't work either, it just suppressed his swing time.

In the tie-break of the second set, in a similar situation, Gao Wen returned to the center in advance to prepare to defend, but Burley's forehand, which was about to hit a diagonal line, unexpectedly put a small ball, which completely deceived Gao. Due to Wen's judgment, Gao Wen started it half a beat too late, but naturally he couldn't catch up.

Then, this point was given to Burley for the second inventory. As a result, Burley took the second set and led by a big score of "2:0".

At that time, everyone was amazed at Burley's divine help. Today's first two matches were really very good, and the rich experience of rolling for many years on the tour completely suppressed Gao Wen.

Especially after Gao Wen's surprise victory in the first round, Burley must have raised his vigilance, and his attention to the game was completely different. The first two sets hardly gave Gao Wen too many opportunities.

In the first set, at the end of the set, he broke Gao Wen's unavoidable serve and won "7:5".

In the second set, the tie-break was brilliantly played, and finally won "10:8"—Gao Wen also missed a count, which once again proved that the tie-break was a gamble.

Objectively speaking, Gao Wen played well in the first two sets. He still showed his best level, and he only lost one serve game in total; However, they were far ahead with two sets in hand.

Burley's performance is indeed worthy of two victories. His lightness and changeability at the tactical level may not be better than Gawain, but his timing is more sophisticated than Gawain. This is also the first time in the history of Gawain's career. Encountering such an opponent once—

Interpret the game as patiently as yourself, and control the game through the adjustment of tactical details.

Although Burelli is not strong, his rich experience does allow Gao Wen to see the different textures of the Grand Slam.

Almost everyone believed that Gawain's dark horse was not good enough, and that Burelli might easily win in three sets and refresh his personal best result at the US Open, but Gawain did not give up lightly.

The difficulty of the game was indeed beyond imagination, even if you were fully prepared, if your opponent performed exceptionally well, the only thing you could do was to deal with it patiently; what's more, judging from the performance of the first two sets, Gawain and Burley should be evenly matched. It's just that Burley is more mature at critical moments.

Even if you fight with all your strength, you may not be able to win. This is the case in competitive sports. Sometimes the day belongs to the opponent; but if you give up fighting, you will never win.

Gawain would never give up fighting.

In the third set, the game was still in a stalemate. Gao Wen also broke Burley's unavoidable serve at the end of the set. When he broke serve for the first time in the game, he also won the set with a score of "6:4". The course of the game was very similar to the first set, except that Burelli lost the chain a little earlier.

At this time, the foreshadowing had already been laid. Burley entered a peak of physical strength, and his state and hand feeling declined. When he failed to win the third set in one go, he couldn't keep up with the rhythm in the fourth set.

Burley, who was in a low state, couldn't keep up with Gao Wen's rhythm in the fourth set. Although Gao Wen also experienced extreme physical strength, the endurance and perseverance of the young man were still stronger.

As a result, Gao Wen broke Burley's two serve games successively, showing a huge advantage, and won the fourth set with a score of "6:3", successfully tying most of them.

Then, the final set came.

Burley, who took the lead to serve in the final set, has recovered. After two consecutive serve games, the two sides still maintained a tie. However, in Burley's third serve game, Gao Wen seized the opportunity of Burley's consecutive second serve. He took the lead and got two break points with a score of "15:40" in a blink of an eye.

On the break point, Burley continued his outstanding performance today. Not only was his serve in place, but also his attacks were very closely connected, which immediately put Gao Wen in continuous trouble.

But Gawain will definitely not be caught without a fight—

Learning ability, this is his advantage.

He still firmly remembered the point of the second set when he sent the inventory, so he didn't offend the move, but waited for Burelli to make a swing judgment before moving his feet.

Although there was a slight delay of half a beat, Gawain's center of gravity was ready, and he quickly sent his body out with a kick of his right leg.

Gawain could feel his lungs burning, but he was very focused, observing Burelli's position and the spin of the tennis ball.

So how should he return the ball this time?

Apparently, Burley was also "shaking" Gao Wen, moving his footsteps slowly towards the middle, but his center of gravity remained active, preventing Gao Wen from hitting the return ball, and at the same time using lateral movement to confuse Gao Wen in choosing the return ball.
