Chapter 802: Invisible Duck Egg

Chapter 803 Invisible Duck Egg

In 2015, the new season debuted.

As the leader of the new generation, Gao Wen has already stood under the spotlight, attracting the attention of everyone, and embarking on a new journey with high expectations.

Judging from his debut performance, Gao Wen can feel the pressure. At the same time, he also worked very hard during the offseason. However, the impact of adjusting technical movements and the surging pressure from all directions have formed a siege. Gao Wen's state needs further adjustment. , I don't have much expectation for Doha's results.

However, with competition as a substitute for training, there were bumps and turns all the way, and double faults in the serving session remained high, but Gao Wen still stood firm and found a way to win.

In the doubles arena, the golden combination with Nadal made great strides, and after a strong elimination of Djokovic and Krajinovic, he reached the top championship.

In the singles arena, Gao Wen also relied on his good luck, did not meet top players, won four games in a row, and advanced to the finals, subverting people's perceptions again.

On the final stage, Gao Wen will face the third seed Berdych.

This is the second confrontation between the two players in their careers. The last time it happened in the round of 16 of the Paris Masters, Gao Wen defeated his opponent in straight sets.

People's impression of Berdych has always been "overwhelmed", and it seems that he always lacks his last breath and has not been able to break through that layer of shackles.

But in fact, like Berdych and Ferrer, they are both representatives of "repeated defeats, repeated defeats and repeated battles", and the unyielding in their bones is also tenacious.

As of January 2015, Berdych has lost to Federer twelve times in his career, but he has also won six times, including at the 2012 US Open.

Perhaps, Berdych's personality is not aggressive and flamboyant, but his hard-working and down-to-earth game style is never easy to give up.

Losing to Gawain in Paris last time will not affect Berdych's mentality, because this is a brand new start, and he is still diligently preparing for the game.

In fact, on the final stage, Berdych did have a chance—

In the opening stage, Gao Wen's serving state was still poor, obviously still affected by the modification of technical movements, and he struggled in the first two serving games.

The first serve failed to score repeatedly, and the scoring rate was only a pitiful 52%. In addition, four double faults were sent. Without the support of the serve, the game was fragmented; coupled with the intense consumption of the two-line battle yesterday, physical strength and Energy is a stern test, and the batting in the opening stage is not stable.

"4:0".

Only 17 minutes later, Berdych easily broke Gawain's two serve games and took the lead by a wide margin. The whole final showed a one-sided situation.

The audience at the scene sighed, this is definitely not the final they expected.

However, Gao Wen was not in a hurry, and when he was behind by a large score, he stood firm, focused, and slowly recovered his serving state. In his third serve, he saved two break points to secure his serve. , while avoiding the tragic fate of swallowing eggs in the first set, he also regained his momentum.

This round created a shock, and Berdych's attention was a little distracted.

Because he missed two break points, and because Gao Wen's competitive state has improved rapidly, the intensity of confrontation and the quality of the game are quietly changing. He thought he could hold the game in hand, but Gao Wen successfully saved his serve, while Berdych I was a little confused, and I didn't understand how the duck with a beak flew.

Therefore, in the next game, Berdych's own serve, forehand and serving state fluctuated significantly.

Gao Wen, keenly aware of the change, seized the opportunity, scored four straight points, sent out a "love-game", broke serve strongly, and further narrowed the score gap.

This also became the turning point of the first set.

Although Berdych quickly sounded the alarm, regained his focus and gained a firm foothold, Gao Wen's morale and state showed a momentum of rapid soaring, and he launched a powerful impact with a forceful momentum. The intensity changed obviously, and Berdych was caught off guard.

The balance is thus subverted.

A tennis match is not like a football match, where a flash of inspiration can turn the whole situation around; it is more like a boxing match, where head-on confrontation is a state of ebb and flow, and a series of dominoes may often be affected between offensive and defensive transitions. It might be over.

"6:4".

It was Gao Wen who had the last laugh.

In fact, Gao Wen's serving state is still not good, but his timely adjustment is more reflected in the second serve, and the scoring rate of the second serve in the next six rounds is as high as 73%.

This is a very strong statistic. It can be seen that Gao Wen's tactical layout has indeed achieved excellent results, turning the tide of the battle in one fell swoop.

After successfully avoiding swallowing the egg, Gao Wen instead sent out an invisible egg, winning six games in a row, turning the corner and taking the first set victory in his pocket.

Berdych was a little dazed.

On the first set point, Berdych made his first double fault of the first set, handed over the victory and ended the first set in an almost absurd way.

oh!

The entire center court was filled with exclamations of astonishment. Many people hugged their heads and couldn't believe their eyes. For a moment, they didn't know whether they should marvel at Berdych swallowing the invisible duck egg or marvel at How the first set ended.

Whether it was the ups and downs or the spectacular ending, the first set was unbelievable.

The audience exchanged glances one after another, and the rustling movement clearly conveyed the surge of emotions.

The same is true for Berdych. He stood with his hands on his hips and looked at his player box with question marks in his eyes:

who am i where am i doing

"100,000 whys" was almost overflowing, Berdych didn't know what was going on, and in a daze, the first set ended like this.

With a "question mark.jpg" emoticon package, Berdych spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, turned his head and walked to the rest area depressed.

But the best thing about players like Berdych and Ferrer is that they're consistent, dedicated, and they rarely crash -- only very occasionally.

Therefore, no matter what the score is, they will work hard to finish the game. The overall average level and quality, UU reading www.uukanshu. com has always been able to remain stable.

In the second set, Berdych did not collapse, but regained his three souls and seven souls. When Gao Wen took the lead in securing his serve, he also successfully kept his serve, stopping the tragedy of losing seven consecutive games, and the second set started. "1:1", stabilized the situation, and then the game finally got back on track.

However, the trouble is still not over, to be precise, the game is not over.

Like Djokovic, Berdych has never been tested in Doha this time:

In the first four rounds, only five rounds were lost in two games, and only three rounds were lost in two games. They cut melons and vegetables and advanced strongly. This also means that there are not many opportunities to adjust their batting state. When you get up, the batting feel is inevitably not enough.

Against Gao Wen, the number of shots in the baseline rounds increased significantly, but Berdych's ball control was far from optimal, so he couldn't hold the ball:

Often when you are actively attacking or passively defending, you accidentally drop the ball, especially the key points, and the mistakes ruin all your efforts.

As a result, you can only rely on serve and forehand to spin.

Such a game is very, very unfavorable for Berdych.
