Latest website: In this match, Kyrgios had an overall advantage at the beginning of the first set, Gao Wen made a strong counterattack at the end of the second set, and the strong confrontation in the third set continued throughout. A new look.

Leaving aside for the time being the fluctuations brought about by the intense consumption of physical strength and energy, the impact of the score, the situation, and the psychological state are everywhere. Naturally, unknown changes will also occur in the competitive state. Controlling yourself and adjusting your state in the ever-changing situation is undoubtedly the key to victory.

In the first game of the fourth set, when Gao Wen served, he could clearly feel Kyrgios' tactical change—

Violence, brute force, and pressure piled up layer upon layer, attacking Gawain in an unreasonable way.

What's the meaning?

Just like the opening stage of the first set, Kyrgios took the lead, patted and exerted force, and used absolute power to form a suppression. The essence of violent tennis was brought into full play. The relentless forehand bombarded wildly like a storm.

"0:40".

Like cutting melons and vegetables, Kyrgios was the first to get three break points in a row. In an instant, it seemed that he had returned to the state at the beginning of the game.

But at this moment it was not the first set, but the fourth set.

Gao Wen admitted that he was caught off guard in the opening stage of the fourth set, and his concentration was a little lacking. The main reason was that the nerves of concentrating in the final stage of the third set were too tense, so that his concentration in the break between sets slipped. He needs to give his brain some breathing time.

Originally thought that Kyrgios's fourth set might collapse, but he didn't expect that Kyrgios not only failed, but also regained his strength. The dislocation of one in and one out, the three-pointer was lost in a blink of an eye, and Gao Wen fell into extreme passivity.

Gao Wen immediately realized that stereotypes killed people, and his understanding of Kyrgios was still not comprehensive enough, and he was careless.

However, Gawain cheered up immediately—

The biggest difference between the fourth set and the first set was not in the decline in physical strength, but in the fact that Gao Wen's tactical routines had been fully opened up, and his strongest weapon was fully fired.

So, how did Gao Wen save three consecutive break points?

Overwhelm Kyrgios' backhand?

Yes, it’s not right, if it’s just to suppress the backhand, then the tactics will be too monotonous. If Kyrgios sneaks a straight shot, the whole situation may be overturned; instead, the backhand should be raided by suppressing the forehand —

This is Djokovic's classic tactic to suppress Nadal, because at that time few people dared to confront Nadal's forehand head-on, and it was often the backhand that suppressed Nadal. A **** road, successfully suppressed Nadal, and won a wave of seven consecutive victories against Nadal in 2011.

Until ten years later, no one can achieve such a record against Nadal, including Djokovic himself.

Gao Wen used this tactic in the first round against Isner, and now he is preparing to do the same against Kyrgios.

However, the danger of Kyrgios is that it cannot be predicted. His forehand is super powerful, and it is completely impossible to predict when it will explode; moreover, Gawain's forehand resistance is not as good as Djokovic. The encapsulation of his body is so strong, so a strong frontal confrontation is not feasible, and his breakthrough needs more tricks.

Just look at Murray beating Kyrgios.

Backspin, topspin, sidespin, baseline, middle, shallow ball, from drop point to line to power and spin, every shot is a purposeful shot, and the change always suppresses Kyrgios.

In the second set, Gao Wen tried it many times, and now he is more comfortable.

After the serve, combine and release the small ball.

Reduce the force to serve and grab the rising point to attack.

Close pressure serve combined with continuous backspin chipping.

Sneak attack outside corner serve.

Squeeze the backhand serve and then match it with a midfield attack that enters the court.

The tactical routines are all different every time, and the first set of tactics is often aimed at Kyrgios' forehand, destroying the frequency of Kyrgios' forced attack, and then attacking Kyrgios' backhand in the follow-up attack.

"Competition, high!"

From falling behind "0:40" to scoring five points in a row to keep serve, this also set the tone for the fourth set.

From the first round, Kyrgios was exerting force, exerting force arbitrarily, as if...as if an active volcano in his chest was erupting continuously, patting force, exerting force even if it should not be exerting force, no Opportunities are also exerting force, and there is endless power in the whole body that wants to vent.

Like Hulk.

But the difference between the fourth set and the first set is that, first, Kyrgios chose the wrong timing for his own force, and the entire attack lost its fluency and turned into a blind rush regardless.

Second, Kyrgios' own physical strength has also declined. Coupled with his laziness, his grasp of the hitting point has also declined. The number of mistakes has increased significantly, and the hit rate of violent attacks has dropped significantly.

As a result, the fourth set became wildly open and close, with big ups and downs.

In the face of Kyrgios who continued to get angry, Gawain became more and more comfortable and calm-because the threat of Kyrgios became less threatening, basically it was Domyan who was more talented, or Thompson, Grace Burt, there is essentially no difference.

Of course, there is no doubt that Kyrgios is excellent, at least he is not as easy to control as Kebert, and an excellent serve is still the best cover, which also makes it very difficult to break Kyrgios' serve.

As a result, the score was deadlocked all the way.

The whole process was somewhat similar to the third set, but the difference was that there was no break this time, and the two kept each other's serve all the way, and then came to the tie-break again.

"pretty!"

"Gao Wen made a sneak attack on an inside corner serve, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Kyrgios' footsteps were a little slower, and the backhand position could not touch the ball."

"This is Gao Wen's fifth ACE in the whole game. It appeared at the beginning of the tie-break of the fourth set. It can be seen that Gao Wen is improving his state."

"'1:0'."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhan Jun couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and his fingertips slightly closed, and then he could feel the wetness in his palm.

Tie-break, if... if Gao Wen wins the tie-break...

Just by imagining it, my heart trembled uncontrollably, but I had to take a deep breath continuously to convince myself to calm down.

Unlike Zhan Jun and Hu Litao, Sofar, who had witnessed Gao Wen's growth all the way, knew that the familiar Gao Wen had appeared—
