"...Wow, beautiful!"

"Gao Wen, indeed, has a big heart. We have once again seen the game wisdom of this young player."

"In the face of changing weather, facing home pressure, and more importantly, facing Tsonga, who had just won the fourth set and launched a full-scale attack aggressively, Gawain's response was mature and sophisticated. He was already on his feet at the start of the decider."

"In this round, for four points, Gao Wen adopted four different tactical combinations, which did not give Tsonga too much room to play, and the straight set four points were successfully secured."

"Obviously, Gao Wen has shaken off the influence of the regrettable loss in the last set, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the final set. The overall tactical thinking is very clear."

The commentators in the commentary, they are bystanders, can condescendingly examine the overall situation, and capture the context of the game more clearly and comprehensively.

As they said, Gao Wen was fully prepared for the final set——

It is only one aspect to focus on completing the guarantee; the other is to break the game. There is no need to rush, but it needs to be laid out step by step.

Judging from the state at the end of the fourth set, Tsonga, who had survived the extreme physical strength, played a small climax, repeatedly creating threats in Gawain's serve; A strong performance, although Gao Wen tried his best to delay the game, he still lost the tiebreaker.

That said, Tsonga is at a minor peak.

But now that the game has come to the final set, whether it is Gao Wen or Tsonga, their physical fitness is not at the same level compared with the opening stage, which means that,

For one thing, the peak state cannot last for too long.

Secondly, it is no longer realistic to compete for every ball, and physical energy must be allocated more reasonably.

Tsonga is a passionate player.

In his game, if he enters the chicken blood state, he will definitely go crazy, killing all directions and sweeping thousands of troops; but if he is depressed and cools down, he will also make a lot of inexplicable low-level mistakes, and the entire performance may plummet. Unable to perform at his normal level.

For Tsonga, he needs applause, he needs cheers, he needs the excitement and passion of a strong confrontation, he is a typical player who "be strong when he encounters the strong", loves the top stage, likes the peak duel, and advocates challenging the strong; naturally , The state of the game is also prone to ups and downs, comparable to a roller coaster.

Therefore, what Gao Wen needs to do now is to stabilize the game, delay the game, avoid Tsonga's edge as much as possible, and wait for Tsonga's touch, momentum, and state to slowly decline; at the same time, he looks for opportunities to disrupt the rhythm and create Difficulty, destroying Tsonga's touch and finally creating chances.

Therefore, "layout" became the focus of Gao Wen's opening stage of the final set.

In this box, start with your own serve, use changes to control the initiative, and destroy Tsonga's rhythm and pattern as much as possible.

On that side, make an attempt in Tsonga's serve, don't worry about immediate results, but need to change the rhythm of the game.

You can already see the intricacies on paper, which is the most delicate and difficult part of the final set; even more so in actual execution.

Gao Wen needs patience, carefulness and concentration, all of which are indispensable.

However, in the final set, the physical and mental aspects have reached a critical point, and there are also weather factors that may interfere or even interrupt the game at any time. It is distracting like a ticking time bomb, and it is definitely not so important to maintain concentration. Easy things, difficult problems emerge one after another.

Stalemate.

tight.

And... exciting.

"1:0".

"2:1".

"3:2".

Keep serve, keep serve, still keep serve, the start of the deciding set completely continued the atmosphere at the end of the fourth set, both players performed well.

Among them, Tsonga is still in a slightly better state.

Tsonga once forced two non-consecutive break points in Gawain's serve, but at the critical moment, Gawain showed his top performance and recovered all of them; and on his second game point, passed Continuous pressure made Tsonga's return ball go off the net, and the thrilling security was completed.

In contrast, Tsonga went smoothly in his serve. Although he also faced some pressure, he did not face any break point. Push the pressure to Gawain's side and stay strong.

Judging from the momentum of the situation, the stalemate is still stalemate, and at the same time, Tsonga has a slight advantage.

However, Gao Wen always insisted on his own tactical layout, looking for opportunities patiently and tenaciously.

In the sixth game of the deciding set, Tsonga served.

a district.

Tsonga is an unrestrained personality, the rhythm between points is very fast, and the preparation for serving each point is also very simple.

Simply patted the ball, looked up to confirm that Gao Wen was ready, and Tsonga had already thrown the ball directly——

Get close and press your forehand.

The first serve was slightly to the inner corner, but it was mainly in close quarters, trying to squeeze Gao Wen's hitting space in the backhand position, relying on strength and speed to form a suppression.

The effect is... not bad.

The serve at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour hit a cloud of dust on the ground. It was fast and heavy, which shortened Gao Wen's movement time. He couldn't completely let go of his footsteps. In the end, he had to rely on the upper body to lean back to give way, relying on his hands to backhand The fast-rolling fast tape barely pulls out a topspin back.

Originally, Gao Wen tried to pull out a parabola in the deep zone to limit Tsonga's follow-up attack to a certain extent, but the effect was not satisfactory.

Tsonga's serve, with a thick ball and strong tail, is comparable to a cannonball. It successfully squeezed the speed of Gawain's racket head. In addition, the swing speed of the two-handed backhand is not as fast as the forehand, and the friction is still not enough. Sufficient, so that the parabolic flight trajectory is not full enough, especially the descent curve is far from enough, and then——

The ball was returned, and it was shallow.

Perhaps, the number of ACEs of Tsonga has not been able to enter the top ten in history, and when people mention the serve cannon, few people think of him; but it is undeniable that the impact and oppression established by Tsonga through the serve, absolutely Excellent, which is also the foundation of his offensive tactical system.

really--

Tsonga will not miss.

Seeing that Gao Wen's return ball landed in the midfield, the parabolic control was obviously not deep enough.

One step up, Tsonga has already entered the bottom line directly, very timely and very resolute, the whole pace is very closely connected, and the pressure is strong.

Although Gao Wen chose to return the ball in the middle, Tsonga didn't care at all, swung his forehand, and tore the angle of the return without hesitation.

Forehand.slash.blind spot.

I saw-

Tsonga's swing is not big, clean and concise but full of power, and he uses the inertia of his forward rush, relying on the superposition of body weight and run-up speed, and can feel the ingenious fit and full release of energy at the moment of shooting. The posture of the cannon was unloaded from the front.

boom!
Hitting the ball, aiming at Gao Wen's forehand bottom line big triangle dead angle heavy hammer, he was not prepared to leave any defensive space for Gao Wen at all, and aimed at the winning point.

However, would Gao Wen be caught without a fight like this?

the answer is negative--

How can it be!

Tsonga had just finished hitting the ball, and he had already caught Gawain's figure near his own hitting point.

so fast!
