Match point

With a backhand slash "inside-out", Gao Wen showed his hard power head-on and formed a head-on confrontation in the midst of extreme passivity, extreme embarrassment and extreme predicament.

On this side of the court, Bellucic was focused on staying focused and starting right away.

The footsteps that were originally moving towards the left did not hesitate and ran at full speed. They were in place smoothly in a flash of lightning. But Bellucic immediately realized the penetrating power of Gawain's backhand diagonal shot. It's fast, heavy, heavy and flat, leaving him with limited space to hit the ball.

Even though Bellucic was prepared in advance and had his steps in place early, he could still feel the impact of the head-on collision.

Forehand!

Bump!

In the collision of "power VS power", Bellucic could feel the energy being transmitted all the way from the reaction force of his left leg kicking the ground. With the turning movement, it was released, and an angry roar erupted from the depths of his dantian, combining power and movement. , breathing all fit together and released without reservation.

Ah!
Hit the ball, go out.

Ahhhhh!
For the fourth consecutive shot, Bellucic was still attacking, trying to firmly grasp the initiative he had established, because he could also feel the change in the quality of Gawain's return, and the layers of pressure continued to change the situation. , that frightening feeling never goes away.

Bellucic knew he had to attack, and he had to be determined.

Forehand, slash.

Power, impact.

The most important thing is that with topspin and deep zone, Bellucic aimed at Gao Wen’s backhand baseline triangle shot. Although there is strong topspin to increase the insurance, there is no doubt that from the line and placement, power and speed It seems that Bellucic has demonstrated all his abilities without reservation.

Vigorously, vigorously——

Bellucic also tried to hit a penetrating "inside-out" shot like Gauvin, but unfortunately, this is not his hitting style.

A strong topspin clay court shot is definitely not a typical fast hard court style.

It spins like a tornado and rushes towards Gawain head-on.

Bellucic's steps have already reached the singles line on the left, his center of gravity is turned outward, and after the ball is completed, his body continues to be pulled out by the centrifugal force.

Then--

Oops.

Bellucic saw Gawain's actions and alarm bells went off.

Gao Wen's steps still stayed in the backhand position. After a slight adjustment in small steps, he was already in place smoothly. However, Gao Wen did not stop and continued to move towards the left.

Sideways forehand.

Just seeing this action of Gawain, all the muscles in Belucic's body tensed up. It is precisely because Gawain does not often use sideways forehands. His backhand ability is absolutely top-notch, and he can face any hit. Handle, so once Gawain chooses to sideways forehand...

This also means that Gawain is ready to take a cruel blow.

what……

Belucic was a little panicked. He didn't understand that this was not an opportunity at all. He still had the initiative and there was no problem with his continuous attacks...

Wait, is there something wrong with his offense?Has the pattern of continuous diagonal attacks been seen through?Why did Gawain seize the opportunity to fight back?

With a pause, a kick, and a sudden stop and turn, Bellucic was already hurriedly returning to the center of the court, trying to occupy the commanding heights and prepare to defend.

Tap, tap, tap.

Bellucic's continuous footwork adjustments were very light and very agile. Although the hot weather made the calves filled with lead, this moment was no longer important.

The pupils suddenly contracted——

Gawain attacks.

Turning sideways forehand, the whole person rises into the air, with both feet off the ground, grabbing a commanding height, landing condescendingly, using the weight of the body and gravity to fully press down, and the forehand strikes like Thor's hammer.

The tennis ball was almost crushed, and you could hear the sound of the bladder almost bursting.

Backslash.

attack.

A mustard-yellow stream of light just crossed the entire scene.

For the second consecutive shot, the "inside-out" slash on the backhand position, a backhand shot, and a sideways forehand shot, the strength and speed have been upgraded to a whole level.Tennis balls attack like angry birds.

uh.

Belucic groaned. He still didn't understand. He had always taken the initiative, but how could Gao Wen gain breathing space and turn the situation around?
Where does the opportunity to turn defense into offense appear?

However, there was no time to think now. Bellucic started for the second time, stopped and turned suddenly, then moved laterally to the left again, sprinting towards the forehand position.

Kick on the ground and run wildly, the strong wind roaring in your ears.

but……

Bellucic watched the tennis ball fall to the ground, bounce, and fly away at such a fast speed that only a mustard-yellow light and shadow quickly escaped his sight.

Even though his speed has been increased to the extreme, even though his attention has always remained focused, even though his body has been fully extended.

Unfortunately, it's still a little slow.

The tennis ball broke free from the front of his racket and rushed out.

Time loses its meaning at this moment.

Bellucic's heart contracted suddenly, and there was a resounding sound like a bell in his ears.

hum.

buzzing.

Then, he was overwhelmed by the cheers and exclamations of the audience, and the blurry halo in his sight all entered the slow-motion mode, slowing down ten times.

stand up.cheer.Raise your arms.applaud.Marvel.Attention.

The billowing heat wave rolled into a ball and burned.

"Game, high..."

“6：4”、“1：6”、“6：4”、“7：5”。

The game is over.

Gao Wen grasped the first match point and cashed in the winning point with a wonderful and incredible round, showing his absolute strength.

This duel, full of surprises and twists, came to an end after two hours and 45 minutes. Although the victory still belonged to Gawain as expected, the process was completely unexpected, and it even came close to an upset.

The weirdness and surprises at this year's US Open continue, but this time, like Murray a few days ago, Gao Wen withstood the pressure and put the surprise back on track.

It's over, it's over, in a hearty way, in a noble way.

Bellucic was still running until he was exhausted, until his body sent a warning signal, and then he stopped, supporting his knees and breathing heavily.

Regret and unwillingness, bitterness and sadness, all kinds of thoughts spread on the tip of the tongue.

However, he tried hard, fought hard, and had no reservations, so there was no need for him to be ashamed.

Looking up, Bellucic saw Gawain on the other side of the court——

His face was red, his ears were sweating profusely, his hands were raised high, there was no cheering or celebration, he just stood in front of his eyes, a smile gently creeping up to the corners of his mouth.

Gawain just stood there, raising his hands to embrace the sky. The pure happiness flowed from his smile, as if he had broken into the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career. An innocent heart was beating in his chest, simply. The joy and simple happiness are burning under the scorching sun.

Along with this, the smile on Bellusic's lips also rose.

Then, when you close your eyes, you can hear the sound that fills the whole place, surging, surging, cracking, and erupting.

Listen, they are shouting, spreading from outside Arthur Ashe Stadium into the stadium, and then circling and burning throughout the stadium.

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

The heart is beating.
