Match point

Chapter 459
How did all this happen?
In fact, in the final analysis, Djokovic has a certain fluke mentality. After completely dominating the game from the second half of the second set to the first half of the third set, Djokovic has mastered the winning skills, but after Gao Wen recovered his physical strength However, Djokovic only increased his focus but did not change his tactics, because he believed that his tactics could continue to win.

On the one hand, he doesn't think Gao Wen has such determination and courage. The pressure brought by the Grand Slam semi-final stage is still different after all.

On the other hand, he himself lacked a bit of courage to break the deadlock - in his last life, he was criticized for not being tough enough and not courageous at critical moments when facing Kei Nishikori, and now Gao Wen can indeed smell some clues.

For the four points just now, Djokovic was relatively conservative after getting the count. He focused on controlling the shots and handed over the risky shots to Gao Wen.

Unexpectedly, Gao Wen played very smartly. Except for the relatively high risk of winning the break point at the end, all three points were easily and skillfully completed the winning point. The whole process was fast and resolute. Compared with the so-called risk In other words, calculations and games have won enough initiative for Gao Wen.

This also directly proves the importance of Gao Wen's active superimposition of spiritual attributes, which can be called a crucial step!
Everything happened so fast.

The two players then went back to a tie.

Djokovic was not defeated. In fact, not only was he not, but he quickly stood up and launched a counterattack. The Grand Slam champion clearly knows how to control the rhythm and momentum of the game. If he can counterattack and break Gawain immediately Serve, then the situation will be reversed again.

However, the same situation happened once at the beginning of the third set, and Djokovic was unsuccessful, and it happened again at the end of the third set, and Djokovic was still unsuccessful.

After "5:5", followed by Gao Wen's serve, although Djokovic was very proactive, the two sides returned to the tie twice, but in the end Gao Wen, who had basically recovered his physical strength, scored two consecutive points to complete the serve. In the third set Go-ahead score for the first time.

Djokovic was so dissatisfied with himself that he muttered to his player box again.

But after venting his emotions, Djokovic also managed to keep his serve, without recurring the tragic and bloody situation in the previous game, and then the two players fought to a "6:6" draw, and the third set was ups and downs It will be a tie-break to decide the outcome.

Air, burning.

Under the eyes of all, the tie-break also continued the roller coaster effect of the third set with ups and downs, and heart disease patients were warned.

In the tie-break, Gao Wen served first.

In the first point, Gao Wen changed his serve strategy, speeded up the serve without warning, and scored the first point very lightly and easily with a flat serve to form a straight serve.

Djokovic was very dissatisfied with such a simple return error.

In the second point, Djokovic missed the first serve, and Gao Wen seized the opportunity of the second serve to attack. Although Djokovic still controlled the situation and formed a stalemate, Gao Wen still used a forehand slash The big diagonal created a chance for itself, and then took the lead in breaking a serve point of Djokovic through a high-pressure ball.

The five-star red flag was flying wildly at the Arthur Ashe Stadium.

"Even the wildest and most daring conjectures did not expect that in the first Grand Slam semi-finals of his career, against one of the Big Four, Djokovic, he would be able to finish third. We ushered in a '2:0' start in the tiebreaker, this game was so exciting that I almost couldn't breathe."

Obviously, Sofar is not alone. Zhan Jun and Hu Litao must have frantically nodded their approval when they heard what they said.

In fact, all the commentators know that Gao Wen played the role of the biggest dark horse of this year's US Open on the road to promotion. His unparalleled performance in the tie-break game showed Gao Wen's big heart. So far, he only lost a tie-break against Perelli. The other five tie-breaks were all victorious, which is undoubtedly very scary.

However, today Gao Wen is facing Djokovic. The Big Four can always find the best form in the tie-break, which is different after all.

It was precisely because of this that Gao Wen continued to remain calm and composed, which was the most amazing thing.

After losing his first serve point, Djokovic quickly adjusted, gained a firm foothold, and saved his second serve point with an ACE ball.

However, Gao Wen was unmoved, and continued his own game step by step. When the six points were over and the players of the two sides switched venues for the first time, "4:2", Gao Wen still maintained the advantage with a break point. leading.

After changing sides, Gao Wen launched a wave of offensive again. A sudden forehand attack in a straight line was successfully defended by Djokovic, who had early warning, but Gao Wen followed up with a very close follow-up attack, and then relied on A half-court attack formed an oppression, forcing Djokovic's extreme defense to go off the net.

the second time!
Gao Wen broke Djokovic's serve point for the second time in the tie-break, and the score has already reached "5:2". No one expected such a development trend.

Then, it was Gao Wen's turn to serve two points. As long as he could win the game with two points, he would be able to pocket the victory of the third set.

Gao Wen successfully saved the first point, "6:2".

Inventory appears!

Moreover, there were still four consecutive counts, and the atmosphere of the whole game was completely different. The audience could no longer calm down and cheered for Djokovic hoarsely, so that the flying of the five-star red flag was swallowed by the mighty wave of gossiping people Submerged, almost invisible, as if everyone stood on the opposite side of Gao Wen.

"Only 10 minutes ago, Gawain saved two sets in a row, now it's Djokovic's turn to save sets."

In fact, it is exactly so.

Djokovic grabs Gawain's first serve very suddenly, and the quality is very good. Even though Gawain is mentally prepared, the quality of the return is still seriously affected, and then Djokovic quickly presses to the net. Before, Gao Wen was mobilized with a small ball in front of the net.

Although Gao Wen tried his best to charge forward vertically and successfully saved the tennis ball, the quality of the return was terrible. Djokovic easily made up a shot, and then broke Gao Wen's serve for the first time in the tie-break point.

After scoring, Djokovic also roared out for the first time——

Obviously, he was very, very dissatisfied with his performance in the third set.

This point not only saved a set point, but more importantly, Djokovic seemed to have regained his edge and the rhythm of the game came out.

The next two points are still an inventory, but these two points are Djokovic's serve points, and then we can see the world's number one crisis handling ability.

Ingenious and strong, light and simple, in these two points, it was difficult for Gao Wen to see opportunities. From the moment he served the ball, he entered Djokovic's control. With Gao Wen's forced error, A backhand slash winner from Djokovic saved two break points again.

"6:5", in a blink of an eye, only one of the four consecutive inventory counts was left.
