Chapter 1886 Breaking the Inertia

heh!
Ah!
Oh!
The Arthur Ashe Stadium was filled with low sounds of astonishment. It was completely a subconscious and instinctive reaction. Every shot choice of Federer and Gawain danced wildly on the tip of the knife, a tense and exciting collision of powerful forces. Holding the heart tightly, the brain begins to lack oxygen and goes into a frenzy.

Then--

Whoa!
When Federer hit the ball with his completely acrobatic crotch, the stadium burst into cheers, and the scalp-numbing climaxes exploded like a violent storm. Some spectators could not control themselves and stood up with their heads in their hands, staring with dumbfounded eyes. Looking at the scene in front of him, he fell into a daze.

Wonderful!

Federer unexpectedly chose a straight shot and found a glimmer of hope on the edge of the cliff, trying to break through Gawain's net blockade from a straight position.

Obviously, Federer does not need to look back to know that Gawain has covered the front of the net, but his steps should be in the center of the court, and he moves diagonally from the forehand position to the middle. At this time, he will habitually be more concerned about the gap behind him——

This is a blind spot in consciousness.

Because I move towards the backhand position, and because I face the left side, I subconsciously think that I will not miss the ball coming from the backhand side, and instead pay more attention to the gap left behind me.

This is the case for everyone, it is a kind of inertia.

From the time he turned around and ran back to chase the ball, Federer was already imagining the layout. The crotch shot was also a purposeful and conscious delay in the shot, with the purpose of getting Gawain closer to the net.

Then, in a straight line, strike out.

The straight mustard yellow light and shadow penetrated the court like a long arrow.

--Uh.

Gawain's muffled groan could be clearly heard from across the court. During the second start between sudden stops and turns, his Dantian exerted force and made a sound involuntarily.

One horizontal step was not enough, far from enough, so Gawain supported his body with his left leg like a golden rooster, and threw his body completely tilted.

One-handed backhand.

stop.

In passive and unexpected situations, one can only barely intercept a shot.

The tennis ball was raised high, and the parabola suddenly rose——

After Federer turned around 180 degrees, his nimble steps cut to the bottom line again in the blink of an eye, and he quickly hit the net, quickly erasing his disadvantage.

It can be seen at this time that Federer is still more experienced in controlling, judging and using the skills in front of the net, and instantly reversed the passive situation.

Tapping.

Tatata!
Federer repeated it again, straight up, straight down, straight down, straight up, continuously running wildly on the vertical axis. Federer had already given up this point without reservation.

The pace was from his forehand position to the left backhand position along the diagonal line. His speed had increased to the extreme, and he was near the service area in the blink of an eye.

The tennis ball bounced off the ground and was falling again.

Federer quickly glanced at the court space. Gawain's steps were obviously a little panicked. Compared with the baseline, there is still room for improvement in foot control at the net. After a sudden stop and turn, he was quickly pulling back to the center.

Back to defense.

Midway.

Stuck in place.

There is no problem with Gao Wen's movement. This is a textbook for offense and defense in front of the net, but it is a bit rigid and cannot be fully used flexibly. Even after the breakthrough of the grass court season, there is still room for growth.

Federer glanced out of the corner of his eye and launched a powerful one-handed backhand.

With one sweep, the arms are fully opened.

slash.

Look back.

Aiming at the narrow diagonal gap behind Gawain, preparing to end the point.

As soon as it hits, the power is released instantly.

While running wildly back and forth, Federer's control is still absolutely top-notch.

boom.

A strong shot with solid and steady hitting.

Across the net, Gao Wen could clearly feel the heat waves coming towards his face.

Kick your right leg to brake.

Push your calves on the ground to exert force.

After another sudden stop and turn in a short period of time, the body rushed towards the backhand position again. The balance of the center of gravity broke away from the shackles of gravity in the continuous shift. The whole person jumped into the air, making a hungry tiger pounce on food.

pounce.

One chop.Keep your forearms straight.

One-handed back buckle.

Block shot.push down.

Power, burst out.

Everything happened in an instant. The collision in front of the net was like driving at triple speed. Before I could blink, and I was still surprised by Federer's backhand straight line, the tennis ball had already penetrated Federer's forehand gap along the diagonal.

Like a shooting star.

Magnificent and majestic, the momentum is like a rainbow, and it explodes when it hits the ground.

Score.

break.

Arthur Ashe Stadium:…

Silent.

Gawain finally felt the pull of gravity, and he fell quickly and landed heavily. Following the force, he rolled and flipped once. However, he quickly stood up again and prepared to hit the next shot, but he saw the tennis ball slip into the gap.

next second.

"what!"

Gawain followed the strength of standing up and soared into the air, clenched his fists and roared, roaring, and his passion surged out.

"Ahhh!"

In an instant, Arthur Ashe Stadium came into contact with the seal.

heh.

Shocked, stunned, looking at each other.

The Federer fans couldn't believe their eyes and held their heads. Those exclamations and sighs filled the audience, which further highlighted the fanaticism of the Gauvin fans.

Ahhhhh!
Ahhhhh!
Maybe the Gowan fans can't resist the overwhelming momentum of Federer fans, but they still unswervingly make their voices heard to declare their existence.

Arthur Ashe Stadium is boiling.

"1:0".

At the beginning of the second set, it was Gawain who broke serve first, and only needed one break point.

The stadium was really too big to see clearly, but the director in charge of the live broadcast keenly noticed one detail:
Gawain's knees and calves.

Bruises, bleeding.

The hard cement surface of the US Open is indeed very lethal, and a casual bump may cause scratches.

Looking more closely, there is also a scratch on the elbow.

The situation is not serious, just some broken skin, but you can definitely see the bleeding.

However, Gawain didn't mind at all, his eyes were bright and firm, his fists raised high, passion was surging in his chest, and his fighting spirit was burning.

Gawain, dressed in black, looked like a bloody war god at this moment, once again showing his unyielding and toughness on the stage of Flushing.

boom!
Boom boom boom!
The atmosphere at Arthur Ashe Stadium reached a new climax——

At the end of the first set, the perception of Federer's supporters was correct. They could not relax or celebrate. Gawain would never surrender easily. There was a bit of luck in winning the first set. Sure enough, as soon as the second set started, their idol Already in crisis, the situation is still very tense.

However, worries turned out to be worries, and they quickly regained their senses and began to support Federer.

After all, this is only the first game of the second set.

Moreover, it is still unknown whether Gao Wen can hold serve in the next service game. They are all looking forward to Federer's counterattack after encountering a break.

As a result, the shouts became one in the blink of an eye, sweeping forward like a hurricane and colliding head-on with the voices of Gawain's supporters.

"Crack! Roger!"

"Crack! Roger!"

Compared with the excitement of the fans and the audience, Federer still seemed calm.

The most important thing now is to adjust your breathing. After running for a long time, he still failed to win the point and even lost his first serve. Federer knew better than anyone else that he needed to seize the game at this time and could not Let Gawain's momentum completely rise.

So, he needs to regulate his breathing, he needs to stay calm, he needs to stay focused.

After the exchange of venues, Gawain's serve came.
