Match point

Chapter 670 Retreat
Tapping.

Tapping.

Gao Wen was running at full speed, and his posture was a little awkward, because Berdych took the absolute initiative and attacked with three consecutive forehands to form a strong suppression.

In the previous shot, he used a backslash to suppress Gao Wen's backhand at the corner of the bottom line, forcing Gao Wen to barely return a transition ball in the middle.

Immediately afterwards, he aimed at another dead corner of the bottom line with a forehand slash attack again, and increased his speed.

Gao Wen, who was running at full speed, crossed the audience with an unbelievable force, then sprinted, sprinted again.

Quote.

kick!
Push.

One turn!
light belt.

"what!"

When the body has been stretched to the extreme, it has become very, very difficult to actively exert force, but it can be clearly seen that Gao Wen's forehand made a sweeping and pulling up movement, and after hitting the ball, he still completed it. In the giant swing around the head, the whole topspin is very full.

Whoosh!
In the next second, you can see that the return ball tore through an incredible small slash, drilled into Berdych's backhand serving area, and then rushed out.

Berdych had been pulled out of the doubles line, but his light footsteps still reached the tennis ball, but...

The angle of the shot is out of control.

state.

The tennis ball directly became a sky cannon, drawing an exaggerated parabola and flying towards the audience stands behind Gao Wen.

In the audience, everyone raised their heads and looked at the interior ceiling decoration of the Paris Masters.

Then--

Break!

After missing three consecutive break points and saving a game point, such a round of ups and downs and twists and turns ended with Gao Wen's break.

At the beginning of the second set, there were two consecutive rounds of hard work and entanglement until the end, and both ended with Gao Wen's victory, which also established the trend of the entire set.

Berdych obviously lacked energy, seemed to lack a bit of fighting spirit, and also lacked the motivation to counterattack and reverse, and the follow-up game was a bit dull.

In the closing stage of the game, Gao Wen scored two consecutive match points in Berdych's serve. After missing one, on the second match point, Berdych's forehand attack stretched out the bottom line, drawing a picture for the whole game. Last full stop.

A mistake ended this hand-to-hand confrontation.

The end of the game, "7:5", "6:2".

Gawain defeated Berdych and swaggered into the quarter-finals of the Paris Masters. In the fierce competition for a seat in the year-end finals, at least he did not lose the chain.

Hope, continue!
At the press conference after the game, the "seats for the year-end finals" undoubtedly became the focus of attention. After all, Gao Wen is still in the draw, but the problem is that as the game progresses, the performance of the competitors also Every moment determines the situation of the championship points——

Gao Wen's fate is not in his own hands.

Gao Wen was very frank about this.

"Guys, let's show some respect to the Paris Masters, shall we?"

"Of course, London is an old and beautiful city, and I'm really looking forward to going to London, obviously everyone's eyes are on London right now."

"But London is two weeks away, it will get its own time, and the time now should belong to Paris."

"Don't forget, we're competing in a Masters. God, I'm dreaming of winning the Masters. I need it desperately."

The light and playful tone successfully made low laughter resounded at the press conference.

Although the reporters don't want to admit it, the fact is that they are in Paris, so it's not easy to embarrass their master face to face——

As Gao Wen said, Paris is also a masters tournament, which is not inferior in importance to the year-end finals. People ignore the championship competition of the masters because of the fierce competition for seats in the finals. This is biased and disrespectful .

So when Gawain said,

"I don't have the time or energy to think about things in London at the moment, all my attention is on the upcoming round."

The persuasion is stronger.

After all, the reporters still couldn't refute it. After going around in circles, they still couldn't get anything out of Gao Wen's mouth.

Once again, Gao Wen retreated from the press conference completely, and the audience full of reporters could only marvel:
"Is he sure he won't be 19 years old until next month?"

According to the schedule, the year-end finals will start on November 19th. If Gao Wen can go to London, then he will spend his [-] years old birthday on the stage of the year-end finals. At that time, Gao Wen will be very happy. It is possible that a series of records will be broken again——

The premise is that Gao Wen can go to London.

After the press conference, Gao Wen went to receive massage therapy and recovery training. No matter when, these steps must be carried out meticulously.

Generally speaking, in a complete professional tennis team, physiotherapists are indispensable, and they play an important role like physical trainers, nutritionists, psychological counselors, etc.; but top professional physiotherapists are very The hot ones don't pop out directly from the cracks in the rocks.

After the U.S. Open, Tobias and Sampras built an entire training team for Gao Wen, but neither physical therapists nor nutritionists were in place.

However, it doesn't matter, every competition organization must be equipped with registered professional physiotherapists, and there are more than one, serving all players.

On the one hand, not all players are able to hire a private physiotherapist; on the other hand, emergencies also require the presence of physiotherapists and medical staff.

In fact, the professional physiotherapists of the competition are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. All of them must undergo strict tests and pass the official ATP certification before they can work.

Federer's current physical therapist was poached from the tour. Tobias followed Gawain to compete everywhere. He and Pelt have been looking for a suitable physical therapist to see if they can poach a corner.

The biggest disadvantages of race physiotherapists are:

Need to queue.

After the game is over, players need to wait in line in a first-come, first-served order.

Fortunately, the Paris Masters has entered its third match day and entered the stage of competing for the quarter-finals. The number of participating players has been directly reduced by half, so there is no need to wait too long in line.

"...Okay, that's all for now."

The physical therapist patted Gao Wen on the shoulder and spoke in English with a thick French accent.

Gao Wen expressed his thanks.

Before leaving, the physical therapist gave Gao Wen another hug and said something with a smile on his face.

"You did a great job, very, very well."

Snapped.slap.

The physiotherapist patted Gao Wen on the back, like a kindergarten teacher rewarding a little friend.

Gao Wen laughed directly, "I should be the one to say thank you, today's treatment is very pleasant."

After finishing the massage treatment, Gao Wen left the physiotherapy room and walked towards the locker room. He could see the sweaty Brother Bryan walking towards him. It looked like he had just finished the game.

"Hey, buddy." Bob Bryan was still cheerful, without saying anything, he gave Gawain a big hug, a full hug.

"You're great, I mean it, you're really, really good, and to be honest, Mike and I have said it more than once, I really, really love your game."

Gao Wen: ...?so suddenly?
