Match point

Temperature, 33 degrees.

Humidity, 45%.

Ground temperature, 45 degrees.

It's stuffy, hot, wet and heavy. Even if you breathe heavily, you still can't replenish much oxygen. Every cell in your body is burning, as if it's soaked in methane. A little spark can completely detonate it. Everyone is severely tested.

Not to mention the players, even if they are sitting in the auditorium watching the game, they are still sweating and steaming, and the effect is comparable to that of a sauna.

However, the game is still going on. The back-and-forth duel has been going on for two hours and three 10 minutes. The collision on the court has not let up at all. Instead, it has burned the small universe and burst out more energy.

At this time, Gawain is preparing to serve.

Second District.

Match point, this is already the fifth match point.

Scoreboard——

“6：4”，“6：4”，“4：6”，“5：4”。

Gawain is in front, Agut is behind.

In the last game, Agut's serve game, Gao Wen got two non-consecutive match points, but Agut showed magical performance both times, turned the tide, stayed in the game, and ignited the Louis Armstrong Stadium. of fanaticism.

There is no doubt that Gao Wen performed very well today. In the first game after an accidental ankle sprain, his performance in the baseline round was still slowly rising, and he was ready for a hard battle against Agut.

From the first game, Gao Wen showed a different look from the first week of the Grand Slam, including batting, tactics, layout, etc., as well as shot timing, line selection, weapon combination, etc. The quality of the entire game was different.

Perhaps, Gao Wen's condition is still not up to the level that he is satisfied with, but he seizes every game and continues to move closer to his goal.

Objectively speaking, this is indeed Gao Wen's best game in Flushing this year.

But Agut is not to be outdone.

Solid baseline skills are the biggest reliance. Facing Gao Wen, he was not timid or flinching at all. His daring and hard-working style of play also contributed many wonderful shots, and even surprised his opponents many times. Gao Wen had to give applause.

Regardless of whether he is leading or lagging behind, Agut's conscientious batting state and game mentality have indeed caused a lot of trouble for Gawain.

Even at this time, the game was coming to an end and could end at any time; even though the two players fought hard for 150 minutes under severe weather conditions, Agut's batting state still maintained a high level.

Time and time again, Agut poses more rigorous challenges to Gawain. There is no slack or breathing room, and any little gap may become an opportunity for Agut to reverse the situation of the battle.

Even when the match point comes up, I still can't relax.

Huffing and puffing, Gawain was panting a little, as if there was a fire in his chest. The more he breathed, the drier he became. Not only lactic acid, but also gastric acid began to be secreted.

He exhaled heavily, adjusted his breathing, and then looked up at Agut, preparing to serve. He needed to reorganize his thoughts.

From the last game to this game, it’s not that Gawain didn’t play well, but that if Agut had the help of God, he would never drop the ball and return any hit to the court. He also frequently pressed the line and almost entered a super state. .

But as a person involved, Gao Wen knew that the main reason was that his offensive line did not break Agut's prediction, which gave Agut the chance to touch the ball.

The brain needs to work.

Bend your knees.

Kick off.

Swing.

He chased and served, aiming for the forehand position, but after landing with a strong side spin, he got into Agut's chest and squeezed Agut's swing space.

The impact of the weather is very obvious. Firstly, the weight of the ball, and secondly, physical exertion. The quality of Gao Wen and Agut's serve has dropped significantly. This is inevitable. In addition, the opponent is a player with excellent serve reception. , the pressure on the serving side is indeed increasing, which also makes Gao Wen need to think more carefully when serving.really!

Agut's forehand was squeezed, but Agut responded very well.

He leaned his upper body out of the way and took a forehand shot.

It's not a skateboard or an outside shot, but a deliberate use of topspin to slow down the rhythm and pick a beat, and then tear the angle of the backslash from the midfield position of his forehand.

Tennis, up.

If it were a ball in a round, Gao Wen might have gone straight into the baseline to grab the ascending point with such an incoming ball; but now it was the receiving and serving session, Gao Wen had just recovered his steps and had no time to take a step forward.

As a result, Gao Wen's footsteps were suppressed by Agut's return.

His footsteps moved towards the backhand position, and then he noticed that Agut's return point was close to the sideline, and it was pressed deeply, and there was a strong topspin after landing.

Extrusion plus extrusion and extrusion on top of each other.

Agut's return is very purposeful, not a fight but aggressive. There is no doubt that Agut is still testing Gawain in his own way.

Perhaps the downside is the sacrifice of power and speed.

Tapping.

Gao Wen observed the entire court space while moving, and he already had the answer in a blink of an eye. He adjusted his steps from long strides to small steps. He did not choose to take the initiative to rush forward to grab the rising point, but followed the rotation and rotation of the incoming ball. He adjusted his position and took half a step back.

In fact, Gawain deliberately waited for a moment, waiting for the opportunity for the tennis ball to rebound to its peak and then start to fall.

Delayed shot.

Gawain's waiting forced Agut to make a judgment. He needed to move in advance and get in position for his next shot.

As usual, Agut returned to the center of the court first, paused for a moment, and carefully observed Gawain's shooting movements.

pedal.

With his pupils narrowed and his steps kicked, Agut quickly moved towards his forehand position, accurately capturing Gawain's straight backhand tactical intention.

——He made the right decision.

Gawain backhanded his sword with both hands and struck out with a heavy punch. After delaying the attack, he hit a straight shot.

Heavy and fast.

At the critical moment, Gawain once again showed off his famous stunts.

Agut immediately realized that although his judgment was correct, a slight misalignment of the starting timing still affected his accuracy; and Gawain's shot this time was solid, sharp and tough enough, suppressing it with absolute power. Instead, they seized Agut's opportunity to return the ball, leaving enough time for adjustment, and used hard power to decide the outcome.

Agut, a little hasty.

He tried to hit the tennis ball back with his forehand, but he still refused to fall into the dilemma of passive defense, so he used his strength to hit the tennis ball back with his forehand.

However, the hitting point, release timing, swing position, etc. are all lacking a little bit. If it is such a slight difference, the quality of the final return will be unsatisfactory.

Agut had just finished hitting the ball. He immediately noticed that Gao Wen's figure was quickly approaching the diagonal position. He had absolute confidence in his hitting line. At this time, Agut realized that the backhand of the shot just now was straight. The true purpose is a trap:
Gawain anticipated Agut's tough counterattack, and also expected that if Agut chose to fight back at such a position and in such a situation, it would be a high probability for him to choose a slash.

The real killer move is yet to come——

That is at this time.
