Match point

"Oh, um... the whole game situation is a bit weird now."

"Gao Wen is not the Gawain we are familiar with; of course, Tsonga is not exactly Tsonga with full firepower, the rhythm of the round has been disrupted."

"Obviously, Gao Wen is troubled by injuries, especially in the backhand position. He can hardly exert force. More than [-]% of them are cuts, and the other [-]% are basically light hits or push blocks. The backhand position basically loses the ability to counterattack. Gao Wen's entire game tactical layout was completely overturned."

"Also, there are some effects on the movement. It seems that the core muscles are still afraid to exert force; the accuracy of the forehand attack has also declined."

"Because of this, Gao Wen has been thinking about solutions, how to gain valuable breathing space for himself through the control of rhythm and landing point."

"Right now, Gao Wen is almost dragging half of his body to compete. It is very difficult, very very difficult."

"Such a game is also a torment for the audience, and it is the same for the two players."

"Tsonga has been trying to stay focused and engaged, but it's not easy. When the opponent's rhythm changes, the entire confrontation also changes. Gawain's line and placement choices change, and the spin and power also change. , causing trouble for Tsonga's shot."

"The confrontation did not lead to a stalemate."

"It's also a test for Tsonga."

"There is no doubt that Tsonga has the upper hand now, absolutely the upper hand, but he must stay focused and go all the way to victory; but if he falters himself, fails to seize opportunities, and makes mistakes instead, then the game will be very difficult. After all, Gao Wen also persisted on the court."

"Ah, such a game is indeed difficult."

In the commentary seat, the voices and words of the commentators also hesitated a little——

Injury is indeed the worst enemy of competitive sports.

Even witnessing such a scene as an audience is also a kind of torment, let alone the person involved?

The game was completely fragmented, which was unbearable.

……

"'love-game', oh, no suspense, Tsonga held serve easily."

"From this game, it can be seen that Gao Wen's offensive link is obviously different. He hardly puts pressure on Tsonga. He can launch a counterattack with one shot of the ball, and then reverse the situation."

"Originally, this was Gao Wen's housekeeping skill, but now Tsonga has also found the feeling."

"This should be the easiest time for Tsonga to secure serve since the start of the game."

……

"The audience is cheering for Gao Wen."

"It can be seen from the screen that Gao Wen is sweating profusely, his expression is very uncomfortable, and his physical and energy consumption speed is obviously intensified. Every shot is a test for him, but Gao Wen still persists. Gao Wen still didn't give up."

"'15:40', following the previous serve, Gao Wen's serve needs to face another test."

boom!
In the audience, there was thunderous applause, and mighty sounds swept over, and each figure stood up one after another, covering their mouths in disbelief, their faces full of astonishment.

"Guaranteed success!"

"It's unbelievable that Gao Wen actually saved three break points before and after again, and it was thrilling to secure the serve."

"Wow."

"Wait... Whoa!"

"Amazing!"

"How did Gawain do it?"

……

In fact, the game is not good--

Because the round didn't really pull up the posture, the whole rhythm seemed very weird, accompanied by a lot of mistakes, and there were no surprises as expected.

Even disappointing.

Obviously, Gao Wen was plagued by injuries and could hardly hold on. Tsonga seemed to be able to easily pocket the victory, but at critical moments, Gao Wen was always able to come back to life, from tactical layout to rhythm change to on-the-spot response, Time and time again, we turned the tide and resolved the crisis.

On the one hand, in Tsonga's serve game, it was difficult for Gao Wen to form a confrontation, and occasionally took advantage of Tsonga's mistakes to score a point, but that was all. Tsonga, who had the advantage of serving, was getting stronger and stronger.

On the other hand, in Gao Wen's serve game, Tsonga always has the upper hand, but after getting the break point, the situation is always turned upside down, and he is always unable to break serve when he misses the goal.

Judging from the description, it seems to be a game with ups and downs and wonderful, but in fact, the fragmented game makes people drowsy.

Not good-looking is not good-looking, there is no need to cover up.

At the scene, audiences have already left the venue one after another——

This was the first time in Gao Wen's career.

Although disappointed, I have to admit that this is the reality.

On the one hand, the confrontation in the game is not exciting; on the other hand, it is indeed a torment to watch players continue to persevere when they are injured.

Off the pitch, it's a no-brainer.

but!

In the eyes of the commentator, the game can interpret another aspect.

"……Wow."

"And again, Gao Wen did it, the fourth time in a row."

"Gao Wen faced the severe test of break point for the fourth consecutive serve game, but in the end he saved all of his break points and successfully secured his serve. In the third set alone, Gao Wen had already saved [-] break points."

"incredible!"

"Unbelievable!"

"Also, what we need to pay attention to is that in the game just now, Gao Wen saved the break point with a serve and won the serve with an ace."

"If I remember correctly, this should be Gao Wen's first ace since the eighth game of the second set. Nearly four and ten minutes have passed."

"I have to think of the Australian Open final at the beginning of the year. The more critical and difficult the moment, the more Gao Wen was able to inspire his fighting spirit and show his best performance, including serving."

"At that time, in the second serving game of the final set, Gao Wen got the match point with one ACE, but in the whole game, Gao Wen only served three ACEs."

"It's the same now."

"Indeed, the injury has had a very serious impact. Gao Wen has been trying to adjust and constantly form constraints through the rhythm, but Tsonga's mistakes at critical moments gave Gao Wen time to breathe. In the seventh game, the second break point at the net The easy ball on the front volley went out of bounds was the turning point."

"Now, Gao Wen has slowly found his rhythm under the injury state, and also regained his composure and confidence."

"The appearance of ACE is the best proof that he is getting more and more knowledgeable about his serve; it also means that he may attack in Tsonga's serve."

"Things are slowly changing."

"Although Tsonga still has the upper hand, Gawain is launching a counterattack step by step."

"Gao Wen, he is not ready to give up the game, nor is he ready to surrender. To be precise, he is still eager to win."

"Wow!"

Slowly, slowly, the pain went away completely—

Gao Wen is not sure whether the injury has healed, or he has temporarily forgotten the pain after devoting himself to the game. When he started running and concentrated on hitting the ball, although his hitting movement was still restricted, he gradually forgot about it. The game took on a whole new look.

focus.put in.immerse.

On the court, Gawain's moving figure became light again, covering the entire court. Even in the face of a crisis, he handled it with more and more confidence.

Only in the brief moment after hitting the ball, the soreness, swelling and stretching still reminded him:
take care.

Plop, plop, plop, the heart is still beating, the blood is still boiling.

Take a deep breath, the battle continues.
