"Game, high, '3:6', '6:4', '6:1'."
The game is over-
Gao Wen had the last laugh.
Indeed, Tim performed very, very well in the first game. The violent forehand and backhand covered the whole court, and Gao Wen was very uncomfortable with his pat and force style of play.
Just like what Wawrinka did at the 2014 Australian Open, the whole process is high-energy, he can attack from any angle, and the success rate is super high, not only dare to attack, but also dare to imagine, the overwhelming pressure forcefully tore apart the opponent The defense finally won the score.
But, strictly speaking, Thiem only played one and a half good sets.
Entering the second set, Gao Wen has fully adapted to Tim's rhythm and speed, making a fuss about the line and landing point of the ball, limiting Tim's power.
Of course, Tim is still looking for opportunities to use his strength regardless, but Gao Wen just understands this point. He knows that Tim will look for any opportunity to try to use his strength. This has become the core point of Gao Wen's layout. Through the control of placement and rhythm , to give Tim some special return shots.
What's the meaning?
It is still possible to exert force, but it is often difficult to tear apart the angle, or it is difficult to form a winning point with one shot.
Seeing the opportunity, Tim chose to use force without hesitation, but after hitting the ball, Gao Wen was able to complete the defense and hit the tennis ball back again.
Therefore, Tim needs to continue to attack again and again. If one shot is not enough, then two shots, three shots and four shots, however—
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.
According to post-match technical statistics, if the number of rounds is less than three beats, Tim won 63.7% of the points, and Gao Wen won 36.3% of the points; however, with the increase in the number of rounds, between three beats and nine beats, nine With more shots, Gao Wen's winning rate is getting higher and higher, and his advantage is obvious.
In the first half of the second set, the two sides were still evenly matched, holding each other's serve, and both had feats of saving break points, and the outcome was still foggy.
But in the second half, the game slowly entered Gao Wen's rhythm. At the end of the game, Gao Wen took the lead with "8:2" and took the victory away.
When it came to the final set, Tim was exhausted physically and obviously couldn't keep up with Gao Wen's rhythm. He was still trying to exert his strength, but his offensive accuracy fell off a cliff.
At the same time, Tim's rules and conservatism in the selection of hitting lines were also completely exposed, and his lack of unrestrained imagination made it easier for Gao Wen to predict. As a result, Tim's offensive threat also plummeted, and the overall quality of the game showed a marked decrease.
The most direct manifestation is that the number of rounds with less than three beats also changed, and Tim's number of active mistakes skyrocketed, and he couldn't stop the car.
Gao Wen took the overall lead. From the end of the second set to the third set, he once won seven games in a row, completely breaking the balance of the confrontation and firmly controlling the initiative.
At the end of the game, Tim completed a save to save face, but still failed to launch an effective impact on Gao Wen's serve to win the game.
On the second match point, Gao Wen suppressed with a backhand slash, forcing Tim's one-handed backhand to hit the ball off his bat, and he won the game.
It's not that Tim doesn't want to continue fighting, it's that he has no strength.
Tim, exhausted, looked as if he had just been pulled out of the water. He was soaked inside and out, and the hair tie could squeeze out the water.
But Tim pulled himself together, trotted all the way to the net with tired steps, opened his arms, and gave Gawain a big hug.
"Man, great performance, really great, I finally know the gap between myself and the Grand Slam champion now."
On a rare occasion, Tim made a joke too.
It can be seen that the competition between friends is still different after all. Those sparks of competition are left on the field. After the game, don’t continue to worry about it. After all, the game is a part of life but not all. There should be many, many more in life.
Gao Wen let out a painful wail.
"Take it easy, brother, take it easy!"
Tim thought Gawain was injured.
As a result, Gao Wen covered his chest and said with a sad face.
"Brother, in the first set, you were crushing, and my figure running all over the field was too embarrassed. Next time, you should be lighter, okay?"
Tim was an honest man, he reacted in a daze, and then realized that Gawain was joking with himself, and his shoulders drooped feebly.
"Gao Wen!" Candide protested depressedly.
Gao Wen showed a smug smile, with a slightly injured expression, and raised his jaw slightly, "Dominic, do you see it now? This is the gap between you and the Grand Slam champion."
Tim's reaction was also very funny.
He thought about it seriously, and then nodded in agreement, "It makes sense. It seems that I should study hard next time, and it will come in handy when I beat you next time."
Gao Wen pursed the corners of his mouth, showing a gratified expression of "children can be taught", and extended his right hand friendly, "Then, I look forward to the next fight?"
Tim also held Gawain's right hand, nodded solemnly, "I can't wait!"
Firmly, Tim shook Gao Wen's right hand heavily, and the two young people both laughed. This youth storm has only just begun.
This week, in Miami, "post-90s" and "post-95s" became topics of conversation.
Although Dimitrov and Raonic lost to Isner one after the other and watched Isner break into the quarterfinals~www.mtlnovel.com~, the younger generation still performed well.
Yanowitz, Tomic, Sokqiqi advanced to the third round, Tim and Gao Wen joined the quarter-finals, plus Rublev and Zverev Jr. both won the Masters for the first time, indeed It can be clearly seen that the overall rise of the younger generation is driving the change of the times.
In direct contrast, Nadal lost to Verdasco in the third round, Wawrinka lost to Manarino in the third round, and Federer retired before the game. And the troubles of injuries became more and more obvious, after all, he was no longer eighteen years old.
Quarterfinals—
In the first half, Djokovic defeated Ferrer, Murray defeated Isner, met in the semi-finals, and met again.
In the second half, Gawain defeated Tim and Berdych defeated Kei Nishikori to meet in the semi-finals. This is the third meeting between the two sides.
The result is clear at a glance.
When the youth storm swept through Miami, Gao Wen once again withstood a series of challenges and shocks, came to the top four stage, and became a representative of young players.
From Coric in Doha at the beginning of the year, to the Australian Army in Melbourne, and then to the "post-95s" in Miami, Gao Wen is experiencing waves of shocks. However, he has passed all the tests and won one after another. The competition proved itself, and "the right time, place and people" also achieved brilliance.
It is obvious that this youth storm is gradually evolving into a wave of achievement, and the times are indeed changing.
The media reporters also followed suit.
