Chapter 344 Break the deadlock
In fact, Burley's return of the ball was very clever. It looked like a half-court ball, but the rotation and landing restricted Gao Wen. Even though Gao Wen arrived smoothly, his position was not good, and his center of gravity was obviously not under control. On the surface, it looks like a chance ball, but the changeable rotation hides many risks.

Moreover, Burley's moves are also very cunning, using his false moves to interfere with Gao Wen's judgment and create invisible pressure on the defensive end.

Simply put, this is not an opportunity.

Normally, it would be a wiser choice to take a transitional shot, subtly disrupt Burelli's defensive rhythm, wait for Burelli to return the ball again, and then look for offensive opportunities; but it is also what Burelli hopes to achieve The effect, because he is a clay player, habitually seesaw.

After the first four sets, Gao Wen had a good understanding of Burley's intention to return the ball. He knew that he needed to break Burley's habitual situation, even if it meant that Gao Wen needed to take a risky attack first.

and so--

Gao Wen ran at full speed, his footsteps reaching the limit were barely in place, and his batting movements became distorted, making it difficult to complete it, but Gao Wen still did not choose to take a transitional shot.

Anyway, holding two break points in hand, you can be bold and adventurous on the first break point, and bravely break the deadlock.

Then you can see Gao Wen's upper body stretched out without enough footsteps, almost using the strength of his arms to try to hit the ball.

But that's what Gao Wen wanted: to get a shot first.

In the past, Gao Wen took a step forward to seize the rising point and suddenly increased his speed; now that his footsteps are not in place, he uses the extension of his upper body to grab the rhythm.

Amidst the turbulent waves, Gao Wen's movements were very resolute and decisive. Even if his upper body couldn't exert any force, he could still forcefully hook his arms and wrists.

boom!
The entire upper body is pushed out violently, the speed of the swinging arm swing is increased to the extreme, and you can see it in the next second——

Whoosh.

The tennis ball turned into a light and shadow, and because of the extreme speed, it had the illusion of disappearing, like a gust of wind rushing towards the diagonal.

Gale, hunting!
Burley was startled.

It was clearly not an opportunity, but Gao Wen forced an attack to break the balance. In an instant, the rhythm of the entire round of the ball was disrupted, and the alarm bell sounded in his mind.

Ding Ding Deng!
Ding Ding Deng!
Burley started immediately, sprinting toward his left side, running at full speed to the extreme, as if standing on the edge of a cliff.

however.

Just a little bit, just a little bit.

Gao Wen's return ball was exactly the opposite of Burley's. It was very, very deep, directly within the big triangle of the bottom line, making the best use of the angle of the field, and the deep and heavy tennis ball shot straight out. Potential return space has been reduced to a theoretical minimum.

Burley was already running at full speed, but Gawain's forward movement broke his balance. The speed of the tennis ball had exceeded Burley's expectation. The whole person flew out, but in the end it was still a little bit short, and his footsteps were staggering. He faltered and swung forward, trying to try his luck.

But... still a little bit close.

"Competition, high."

The referee had already broadcast the score directly. In the final set, it was Gao Wen who broke serve first!
boom!
The entire audience was boiling, and some audience members could even be seen standing up, clenching their fists and hammering their chests, roaring like King Kong.

They were looking forward to a wonderful duel, and then they saw a dagger-sharp duel. This game was definitely worth the price of admission. The thunderous applause and cheers of the audience vibrated like Arthur Ashe Stadium.

The NO.17 court used to be the most remote, coldest and dilapidated court of the U.S. Open. It is known as the court that "ghosts" refuse to approach. It is usually used as a practice court. Only a few times the court is not enough. It will be temporarily used as a backup venue.

But in 2009, the No.17 stadium was overthrown and rebuilt. The brand new stadium has become the freshest and most lively competition venue besides the three main stadiums.

The NO.16 stadium has become the current "NO.17 stadium".

Although the NO.17 stadium can only accommodate 500 people, because the ticket sales of the US Open are often pass tickets, that is to say, all the venues other than the three main stadiums can be watched freely, and the audience can choose their favorite games to enter the venue—if the seats are full, they can still choose to stand outside the venue to watch.

Because there are no walls to block the view from the No. 17 court to the No. [-] court, and the space facing the side of the aisle, and even the space facing the aisles on both sides is open.

In the second round, Gao Wen did not get the special treatment of the three major courses, but he was still arranged in the popular No.17 course. This treatment was obtained after Tobias applied to the organizing committee.

At this moment, the NO.17 stadium was full of seats, and the aisles on both sides were already bustling with spectators. Everyone knew that a wonderful five-set match was going on here. The air in the sky is also burning like the sunset glow.

"Ah! Ah ah ah!"

Gawain clenched his fists tightly, venting all his emotions unscrupulously, with a murderous look in his eyes, and looked majestically towards the other side of the court.

Final victory?

Now is the real orgasm!

Panting, Burley's chest heaved violently. He didn't expect this point. He didn't expect Gawain to suddenly accelerate his attack. Lost serve.

What next?
Clearly, Burelli isn't ready to give up.

For Gao Wen, against the unseeded player Burley, he very, very hopes to continue his strong performance and advance to the next round.

This is even more so for Burley. Against Gawain, the biggest dark horse in the first round, he is naturally very much looking forward to his best record at the US Open. Is there a better chance than this time?
What's more, the two sides have already reached the final set, which also means that both sides have opportunities, and everything is possible.

The experienced Burley immediately found his footing, and immediately launched a fierce attack on Gawain's serve after a brief break between rounds.

In this game, the two sides fell into a fierce battle.

Before and after, there were a total of six draws. The wonderful rounds followed one after another. Both players showed their best performance. Gao Wen missed two game points and saved four break points. It took a total of 4 minutes before he seized his third game point to secure serve.

"4:2".

After breaking first and then securing, Gao Wen finally took the lead in opening the score in the final set and established his own break advantage. However, he could not rest after the security was completed, and he needed to enter Burley's next serve immediately.
