Match Point

Chapter 864: magic score

"Facing Kyrgios, the last hope of an Australian player, Gawain played the most perfect match since the opening of the new season in the first set today."

"76% first serve scoring rate, 83% first serve scoring rate, 71% second serve scoring rate, one ace, one double fault, did not send a single break point in one's own serve, thirteen hits Winner, three unforced errors, thirty-six minutes to seal the victory."

"There is no doubt that Gao Wen knows the importance and difficulty of this game. Facing Kyrgios, no player can relax, not to mention that this is Kyrgios' home court. The current men's and women's singles draws, The last host player, the toughness of the game was predictable."

"It is precisely because of this that Gao Wen was fully prepared, and his forehand and backhand performances were perfect without any loopholes. He won a very straightforward set."

In the commentary seat, Zhang Sheng felt a little emotional. As a commentary partner, Wu Wensheng could also feel the surge of emotion.

"During this offseason, Agassi joined Gao Wen's coaching team. It can be seen that the wisdom of Agassi and Sampras collided with Gao Wen."

"Now, Gao Wen has initially shown the temperament of a master, which is indeed in line with the demeanor of the top eighth seed."

"However, Kyrgios is a dangerous opponent. He is the kind of player who can be beaten even if he is beaten. The game is never easy."

On this point, it is a consensus in professional tennis, and countless professionals have expressed similar views.

The most intuitive proof is that Kyrgios faced Djokovic and won both games without losing a set. Both games took place in 2017.

It is precisely because of this that Kyrgios has always been very disdainful of Djokovic, "He has never beaten me, what qualifications can he say is the best in history?"

"The point is whether Kyrgios wants to do it, not whether he can do it, if he wants to, he can win a major."

This has also become the best footnote for professionals to evaluate Kyrgios. The attitude of the game is the biggest shackle that restricts Kyrgios from creating better results.

Obviously, in today's game, Kyrgios' attitude was very, very correct—

He wants to win this game.

He wanted to win amidst the cheers and cheers of the home crowd at Melbourne Park, he wanted to avenge Kogginakis and Tomic, he wanted to beat the swagger and disgusting guy on the other side and put his He pressed his face to the ground and rubbed it hard.

He wanted to see the look on the face of the guy who hated him and lost the game.

After the interval adjustment and self-motivation, Kyrgios's focus reached unprecedented heights.

In the second set, Kyrgios played very well, very, very well.

Objectively speaking, Gao Wen's performance declined slightly. The scorching heat in Melbourne Park made the suffocating air make the peak of physical strength come earlier.

But on the whole, Gao Wen still maintained at a high level, performed well, and did not show too many flaws.

Still, Kyrgios jumped at the chance.

In Gawain's second serve, Kyrgios missed three break points, but still made a fourth and finally caught it.

A signature forehand slash crit, a powerful attack that almost exploded a tennis ball, abruptly tore a hole in Gao Wen's defense, and cashed in the fourth break point with an impeccable winning point , The perfect and strong performance drove the entire Margaret Court Stadium into a frenzy.

In the whole game, he broke serve for the first time, and relying on the advantage of serving first in the second set, he directly opened the score to "4:1".

Immediately afterwards, the two players successfully kept their serve, and the score came to "5:2". Kyrgios was only one game away from winning the second set.

"5:2", in women's tennis, this is known as a "magic score", like a magic spell, with special effects.

The reason is very simple. It seems that every time this score is reached, the leading side seems to be unable to play, while the trailing side's small universe explodes, and then the situation is reversed.

In the following score, the trailing side continued to counterattack, winning four games in a row, and finally defeated the previous leader with a score of "7:5".

Although this is not the case every time, the frequency is so high that it is ridiculous.

But why is this so?

The core reason is the domino effect brought about by the unstable serve of women players.

The score of "5:2" seems to be very different, but in fact, the team behind is just a serve break. Keep your footing, keep your serve, and launch an attack in the opponent's weak serve. Once the break is successful, the momentum will be reversed, and then the whole situation will be completely reversed.

It is precisely because of this that every time this score is reached, it is like a curse, and suddenly, the situation is turned upside down.

In the final analysis, it is still that the female players are not powerful enough to serve so that they have unstable control over their own serve.

If it is a master serve like Serena Williams, the possibility of being overturned is much smaller when leading.

In the men's competition, it is even less, "5:2", the gap is indeed obvious.

Although Gao Wen was still unmoved and kept his next serve steadily and steadily to close the score to "5:3", Kyrgios still performed very calmly in his serve victory.

"40:15".

Kyrgios took the lead and won two consecutive set points. Judging from Kyrgios' serving state in this set, there seems to be no suspense.

However, a not-so-accidental accident occurred.

The first inventory, Kyrgios' two-handed backhand straight line, changed from a slash to a straight line, and the return ball hit the net belt, wiped the net once, jumped up high, and then fell back to Kyrgios' own court Here, none were able to cross the net.

"40:30".

Kyrgios was obviously very dissatisfied with such a "lucky ball", and lost his temper in front of the net belt. He was obviously disappointed that he could not get the help of the net belt in the home game.

This also more or less affected Kyrgios' concentration.

Second inventory.

An inside corner shot, but lacking in speed and strength, Gao Wen successfully hit a forehand back in the middle, and used the landing point to suppress Kyrgios, restraining Kyrgios' tactical intention to serve and attack, and then, The round ball has been formed.

Kyrgios withstood Gawain's backhand pressure twice in a row, and boldly seized a rhythm, moved from the backhand position to the sideways forehand position, and directly hammered the diagonal line from top to bottom at the hitting point above the shoulder .

Gao Wen is very embarrassed.

The two-handed backhand was barely enough for a shot, relying on the strength of the wrist to roll out a slash, trying to limit Kyrgios' continuous attack through the control of the deep zone.

The landing point was very, very deep, directly hitting the bottom line, and it was suspected of being out of bounds, but Kyrgios didn't care about it. He continued to sideways forehand and directly pressed down on the high point to attack, unreasonably launching with a high pressure on the bottom line Offensive, along a straight line, aiming at the corner of the bottom line and hammering down.

boom!

"Out!"

Accompanied by the sound of Kyrgios hitting the ball~lightnovelpub.net~ the linesman also shouted, indicating that Gao Wen's return ball went out of bounds.

Going out of bounds meant that Kyrgios fulfilled his second set point and won the second set.

However, on the other side of the field, Gao Wen raised his right hand high and signaled towards the referee:

Hawkeye challenge.

-----Off Topic-----

Seventh watch.
