Match point

Chapter 1095
Scramble.

Gearing up.

I am eager to try.

With Gao Wen defeating Djokovic to enter the final first, the attention and discussion of the other semi-final climbed to a new level.

Journalists are enjoying the troubles of happiness.

Fortunately, the reporters won't have to make a decision, as Raonic and Federer will be the ones who decide where the story goes, just watching and eating.

finally--

"7:5", "6:4".

The winner is... Federer!

Two weeks ago, just won the championship at Di Biden, Federer is obviously in good shape; moreover, Indian Wells' four championships are still the highest record of any male player.

At the same time, the defeat against Raonic in Paris last time is undoubtedly the best experience and lesson, and Raonic himself is still in the adjustment period.

The answer is just around the corner.

In both sets, Federer won with a break advantage.

On Raonic's side, he sent a total of seven break points before and after. Although he recovered five, he still suffered two break points.

On Federer's side, he only faced one break point in the whole game, and he recovered smoothly without encountering a break point.

The situation is very clear.

Federer went smoothly and did not encounter too many challenges. He won in straight sets and entered the Indian Wells final for the sixth time in his career.

Continue the excellent feel.

It is worth mentioning that, like Dubai, Indian Wells has always been Federer's blessed land, and his performance in the desert event is very good.

In this field, five finals won four times, and the only final loss was last year, when they faced Djokovic in the final and lost in three sets.

The final winning rate is as high as 80%!

This year, Federer continued his outstanding performance in the spring season. Both Dubai and Indian Wells reached the finals back to back, and he is about to attack his fifth Indian Wells championship trophy.

This time, Federer will face a different opponent:
Gawain.

Moreover, the gold content is full.

In Dubai, Federer defeated Gawain and Djokovic successively to reach the top.

In Indian Wells, Federer will face Gawain after beating Raonic. Obviously, the goddess of victory should be more optimistic about Federer.

After the Australian Open ended, Federer quickly completed adjustments, continued his strength in the spring season, and showed his demeanor. Perhaps the only thing that can prevent Federer from reaching the top of Indian Wells for a record fifth time is——

Sepi's law?

After all, on the way to the final, Federer successfully avenged Seppi, but it was like a curse that followed Federer like a shadow.

Therefore, this should be Gao Wen's best chance.

Similarly, Gao Wen is about to strive to write another historical record of his own:
After winning your first Masters title, winning a second back-to-back is like a Grand Slam.

Of course, the Masters is held more frequently, with nine stations throughout the year; and the time is closer, the continuity of the state is higher, and the three-set two-win competition system also reduces the requirements for physical strength and energy, and the probability of achieving it is far higher than the Grand Slam. Much easier.

历史上，1991年的考瑞尔、2003年的罗迪克、2005年的纳达尔、2007年的纳尔班迪安、2008年的穆雷，他们都曾经完成如此壮举。

At the end of last year, Gao Wen reached the top of the Masters for the first time in Paris, and then came to Indian Wells. Gao Wen will strive to become the sixth player to achieve such an achievement.

Whether Federer or Gawain, they all have their own goals and tasks. What is certain is that no one will easily give up the victory.

boom!
Boom boom boom!
The air in Indian Wells was on fire, and every corner of the town was filled with a cheerful party atmosphere, and everyone came out to watch the game.

Empty alleys.

The center court can "only" accommodate 6000 people, and there are no empty seats, but it still cannot satisfy the enthusiasm and urgency of the local residents to watch the final.

reason?

Look at the list of final matchups, don't you understand?

On one side is Federer, the "ball king" who does his part. "Global home stadium" is definitely not just talk, and the top popularity spreads in every corner of the world.

On one side is Gao Wen, the Bruins from UCLA. California can be called the second home, and fans flock here from all directions.

So, "Global Home VS Second Home", who can gain the upper hand?
It is conceivable that on the stage of the finals, the support and support of the audience should and will become another battlefield, adding extra highlights to this game.

Inside the stadium, the audience was full.

Outside the stadium, water is tight.

The hustle and bustle of the crowd spread out in a fan shape, and they all sat on the ground in front of the big screen outside the center court, feeling the heat of the scene.

There are three floors in the sea of ​​people and three floors outside, it is magnificent, and the scorching sun of the desert has also become eclipsed, as if the skin is about to burn.

The crowd is boiling!

Great attention!

Even if they can't sit in the stadium and truly feel the air waves stirred by the sound of hitting the ball, fans still hope to feel the passion of the game up close.

In competitive sports, live scores and screen live broadcasts are two different things, and screen live broadcasts and on-site watching games are two different things. Just reading the game results and score numbers, you can’t feel the ups and downs and magnificence hidden in it. The charm lies in the unknown——

And use your own hard work and sweat to fight for a chance of life, turn the unknown into the known in the palm of your hand, constantly break through yourself and challenge the limit.

Therefore, they need to arrive at the scene, feel the sweat, temperature, hustle and bustle, and feel the tension and excitement that their hearts are about to explode.

really!

The game, did not disappoint.

"0:40".

Wonderful, has been staged from the beginning.

Federer took the lead to serve, but in his first serve game, he lost three points in a row and suffered three consecutive break points.

You know, in the last game against Raonic, Federer only faced one break point in the whole game, and there was almost no crisis in the serve game.

However, when facing Gao Wen, it was a series of attacks?

Different, indeed different, from intensity to content, from temperament to state, you can feel the difference in Gao Wen in every aspect.

Obviously, after losing to Federer in Dubai two weeks ago, Gao Wen should have carefully summed up and prepared well for this match.

From the very beginning, one could deeply feel Gao Wen's domineering and high-spirited determination to win.

but!

Federer is Federer, never underestimate the Swiss King, otherwise, even the other Big Three will pay a heavy price.

ACE.

Forehand winner.

Serve straight.

With three consecutive points, Federer saved all three break points with a crisp attitude.

Establishing advantages through sharp and changeable serve, and expanding the layout, from the first touch of the ball, it forced Gao Wen to be in an extremely passive predicament.

Scoring is not only straightforward, but also easy. It seems that three consecutive break points have been recovered in a short walk. This is Federer's ability.

Moreover, Federer continued to maintain his strength and scored two points in a row again. From "0:40" behind to a smooth serve, he reversed the situation in a blink of an eye.

Federer: He also came prepared.
