Chapter 368 Tough to the End
Throw the ball!hit the ball!J!

stuffy.

Kyrgios's first serve was a bit too hasty, and the push-down action grabbed some, and the position of the hitting point was not very accurate, and then you can see the serve directly hitting the net hard, and the net followed. There was a wave of waves, and it didn't take more words to feel how powerful Kyrgios' serve was.

If the first serve successfully enters the zone, it is likely to be an ACE.

Full force but just smashed a loneliness.

However, for Kyrgios, the difference between the first serve and the second serve is not as big as imagined. Today he has proved his ability through the actual situation. Even if it is the second serve, he can easily issue an ACE; and , The tension at the critical moment of the tie-break had very limited impact on him.

Second serve.

beep!
When Kyrgios served the ball, the ball speed timer in the corner of the court displayed the speed for the first time:
125 miles (201 kilometers).

really!

Even with the second serve, Kyrgios still has the ability to serve first.

boom!
This time, the second serve entered the zone, the inner corner!

Backhand!

Not only did Gao Wen not panic, but he also took a big step forward——

Not a lateral movement, but a diagonal 45-degree movement.

With the movement of footsteps, the whole body obviously leaned forward. Instead of retreating to the back to ensure the success rate of catching the ball like Nadal, he took the initiative to face forward and risk collision.

Before Kyrgios served, Gawain had already made up his mind that this time he had to take the risk of "fighting" the second serve. After all, Kyrgios didn't have many second serve opportunities, and he was not only for this point, but for more It was to pave the way for the score after the tie-break, to create a situation where he dared to fight in the second serve, and to put pressure on Kyrgios.

Because Kyrgios' psychological fluctuations are more severe than Isner's, the possibility of Kyrgios' serve deviation is also higher.

Psychological changes, this is an elusive and difficult to control thing, many players have such inertia:
When they fall behind and face the set point or match point, the success rate of daring to fight and give it a go is extremely high, because they know that they have no way out, and their mentality will naturally relax, and their hand feeling and state will also follow. model.

However, when the situation returned to a tie or when he was in the lead, the tense heartstrings relaxed, and instead he began to bind his hands and feet awkwardly. The mentality of losing is fully revealed.

The truth, in fact, everyone knows, "should do this" and "should not do this", but when you are really in that situation, you are often involuntary. This is the most special part of the change in psychological state.

However, Gao Wen will not be like this.

His idea is very simple. Now the two sides are evenly divided, which also means that they must try to break the opponent's serve points again in order to win, so he still needs to firmly seize the opportunity.

What's more, this is Kyrgios' serve point, even if he fails to fight, there is no loss.

The more critical the moment, the more critical the juncture, Gao Wen became bolder, calmer, clearer and more determined. At this moment, his whole brain was extremely clear.

The second serve must be grabbed!

Therefore, Gao Wen took this step very resolutely without any hesitation.

Kyrgios's serve was already fast and did not leave too much time for the receiver to swing the ball. At this time, it was because of Gao Wen's initiative to face forward that the reaction time was further compressed.

squeeze.

urgent.

The only good news is that Kyrgios's second serve is more or less affected. Although the speed and power are excellent, the angle is not completely torn.

The inner corner is indeed an inner corner, but Gawain can already reach the position with one big step.

Gao Wen knew exactly what he was doing, and his active stepping shortened his swing time, so he simply gave up the racket lead, and set up a backhand with both hands, placing it on the track of the tennis ball. .

state.

The moment the tennis ball hit the racket, Gao Wen's footsteps and both hands pushed forward at the same time, making full use of his body's own weight to complete the power of swinging the racket, and then his forearm pinned to his body, and his elbow was squeezed all the way back by a powerful and ferocious force From the waist down, the whole body can feel the violent tail force continuously colliding.

It was crowded and rushed.

But Gao Wen's forward body still stubbornly completed the confrontation.

boom!
At the moment when the ball is out, the forearm quickly pushes forward a little, and the wrist has no time to move at all, so it can only keep the forearm supporting the lever and push it back.

Whoosh.

Feeling the overwhelming reaction force, the tennis ball flew back like lightning. A long mustard yellow tail was dragged out of the air, and it rushed over like a tornado. It chopped a small slash and fell heavily on Kyrgios. Forehand area in front of you.

Fast and fast.

Whoosh!
Kyrgios didn't have time to step forward, the tennis ball had already landed and jumped out, pulling a thrilling arc into the stadium stands.

"..."

The audience was silent, there was no sound, only the howling of the wind.

"Ace back serve!"

Zhan Jun found his voice trembling and couldn't believe his eyes.

"The first serve-back ACE of the game! It's from Gao Wen!"

"Gao Wen got his first set point in the tie-break of the third set by returning his serve with an ace."

"Unbelievable! Incredible!"

"Gao Wen seized the opportunity of Rick Yergios' second serve in the tiebreaker, used a wonderful return serve to grab the rising point of Kyrgios' serve, and directly hit the wall back with his strength. Take this point cleanly!"

Gurgling.

Gurgling.

Zhan Jun could clearly hear the sound of his blood boiling and burning uncontrollably, but when the game was still going on, he tried his best to barely control his emotions, looked at the court with scorching eyes, and then held his breath.

Gurgling.

Gurgling.

Applause and cheers poured down the Arthur Ashe stadium. After Kyrgios missed three consecutive set points, now it is Gao Wen who got the first set point. Such a roller coaster game is too thrilling and exciting. The audience They're all in a frenzy.

Gurgling.

Gurgling.

Kyrgios's eardrums heard the sound of burning anger, and he felt humiliated again, as if he had returned to the charity exhibition match, when he was supposed to be the "cat and mouse" side, but ended up capsizing in the gutter, instead He was slapped severely by that unknown soldier.

Tonight, it seems the same is true.

Nightmare is back.

"You can't beat the racket, you can't beat the racket, you can't beat the racket..."

Kyrgios is restraining himself, not because he is worried about the referee's warning, nor is he restraining himself, but because he wants to maintain concentration, he wants to break Gawain's serve point again, he wants to tear up Gawain's schadenfreude Face high above, he's about to drop the man across the net into the clouds.

This is the only way to wash away the shame.

So, Kyrgios restrained himself and got to the baseline early, ready for the next point --

Inventory, Gao Wen's serve points.
