Latest website: As Hu Litao expected, the trend of the third set was indeed very stalemate, and it was not a stalemate in the traditional sense.

In this set, Kyrgios served first.

In the fourth game, Kyrgios took the lead and broke Gao Wen's serve with a straight set of four points, widening the score gap.

In the seventh game, Gao Wen seized the opportunity of Kyrgios' serve fluctuation and got two consecutive break points. Although Kyrgios saved all of them and entered the tie, Gao Wen still scored two points in a row. The break point was completed and the game returned to balance.

In the ninth game, Gao Wen got a break point again, and this time Kyrgios played well, saving two non-consecutive break points and successfully securing serve.

In the twelfth game, Gao Wen saved two set points, secured the serve in a thrilling manner, and led the third set into a tie-break, where the thrilling tie-break decided the outcome.

Some deja vu.

At the beginning, Gao Wen took the initiative after winning the tie-break in the third set against Isner, so what about facing Kyrgios this time?

Clearly, Kyrgios is no Isner.

In the tie-break, Kyrgios served first and opened with an ACE. After a "1:1" tie, he used a violent forehand to break one of Gao Wen's serve points. The unbelievable winning point made Gao Wen also I can only look at the ball and sigh, and then Kyrgios successfully exchanged venues with a "4:2" lead.

After the exchange of venues, Gao Wen stood firm and continued to keep his serve points, catching up to "4:3". The gap between the two sides was still only one break point. The "first-mover advantage" will be further magnified, after he strongly keeps his two serve points—

"6:3".

inventory.

This is the suffocating tie-break, a break point gap, but because of the order of serving, Gao Wen was pushed to the edge of the cliff in a blink of an eye, and he had to face the test of continuous counting.

Although it is said that the next two points are Gao Wen's serve points, but at this time he has no room for error, and Kyrgios is on the opposite side of the net. Three discs are gone.

It now appears that Kyrgios has taken the absolute initiative.

So, what should Gao Wen do?

The answer is, there is nothing to do, but focus on the point in front of you. Because of the need to face continuous counting, Gao Wen actually has no room for thinking. The only thing he can do is to go point by point, and then look at the atmosphere of the game. Whether there will be changes, whether you can find opportunities.

Snapped. Snapped. Snapped.

Under the night, the Arthur Ashe Stadium looked solemn and magnificent. Without the sunlight, you could still feel the burning heat of the lights dancing on the skin surface, and then the sound of Gao Wen hitting the ball continued to reverberate.

Kick off! Bend your knees! Turn! swing!

Standing in the second zone, Gao Wen's serve chose the forehand landing point in the middle. The speed of the ball was not fast, and it flew slowly.

Kyrgios had enough time to move sideways and make room for the forehand to complete the swing, but just when the tennis ball was about to rush towards him, he suddenly discovered that Gawain added enough friction when serving the ball to form a With internal rotation, the tennis ball bounced back towards his body all the way towards his body, and then approached again. Naturally, the hitting space was squeezed and squeezed again.

Lean back. Lean back again.

Kyrgios was forced to make a lower back movement, barely getting out of the swing space, and swung his forearm quickly, but exploded with incredible strength within a small range.

boom.

The tennis ball was drawn with a small slash, and it has both speed and strength. It can be clearly felt that Kyrgios' force at the last moment is still very dangerous—

Even when the body loses its position.

Whoosh.

The tennis ball flew towards the back and left side of Gao Wen's position and changed its course. Gao Wen, who had just served the ball a second ago, was obviously not in a stable position. Move to shorten the space and reach the position in one step.

At the same time, staring at the incoming ball with intense eyes, he hit the ball while the center of gravity of the body was violently turbulent.

How to deal with it?

Gawain can chip a shot or hit a topspin deep ball or pop a small shot, and if he's willing to transition, he can always find a way.

But Gao Wen didn't want to, he had his own plans.

With no time or space to adjust his footsteps, Gao Wen completely "throws" his upper body out, his left foot forms a single-leg support, and his right calf kicks **** the ground, and his whole body takes off directly, independent as a golden rooster. The way to complete the power push.

Backhand straight.

Under extremely difficult circumstances, Gawain chose to take risks again.

In fact, the line change this time was very, very difficult, because of Kyrgios' power suppression, and because Gawain lost his position and lacked enough swing space, the chance of a successful line change may only be 10%; but Gawain did not forget one thing, It's a tie-break, and now it's Kyrgios' tally—

If he is timid about hitting the ball and just looking for a safe return, then Kyrgios can easily complete the shot and even play again.

Assuming that the third set is doomed to be lost, at least Gao Wen can choose to lose the set, and then meet the fourth set with a calm and tough attitude, striving to bring the game to the fifth set.

In other words, this is a contest of momentum and a tactical layout.

Gao Wen could not retreat.

Not only can't retreat, but also show momentum.

so!

Kick off! Turn! swing!

Gao Wen's racket head speed has been fully improved, and at the moment of touching the ball, he used the force of his upper body to push his forearm and wrist and quickly retracted further to the inside of his body. The flight path is closed.

boom!

boom!

In an instant, he could feel the strength rising from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and a roar erupted from the depths of his dantian—for the first time in the whole game, he unreservedly released the energy deep in his soul, and then completely threw his body out.

Whoosh.

The tennis ball turned into a light and shadow, and the flight trajectory was forcibly changed again!

The jersey is fluttering like a ballet dancer. The full strength is perfectly presented through the slender muscle lines. The dark blue under the lights of the Arthur Ashe Stadium projects the appearance of a gust of wind on the ground. Even the sweat dancing in the air bloomed wantonly.

Then ~lightnovelpub.net~ the eyes of the audience followed the tennis ball.

straight line!

dead end!

Fight on!

The straight, fast, accurate and tricky return of the ball easily made the audience incredulously amazed. The voice was cut off just as it burst out of the chest, and then they all held their breath, watching Kaye who was running wildly to catch up. gauss.

At the same time, Gao Wen did not stop after hitting the ball. He lightly pushed his right leg to the ground, and then his body quickly moved sideways to his right side like a dandelion flying in the air, and Lingbo moved towards him in a dazzled way. With his own backhand gap at full speed to fill the position.

Tread Tread.

Tread Tread.

On both sides of the field, a white figure and a blue figure were running towards the right side at the same time, like two streamlines, and the strong wind was blowing.
