From the referee's score report, it can be seen that both Djokovic and Gao Wen encountered some challenges in their serve, but they both ended up securing their serve.
In the first set of today's game, Djokovic's first serve has been unstable. So far, the first serve success rate is only a pitiful 48.3%, or even less than half.
Moreover, Gao Wen also played very fiercely in splicing serves, and at the risk of making mistakes, he also needed to increase his pressure on receiving and serving—do not divide one serve into two, which also put great pressure on Djokovic's first serve. Amplify the instability of a shot.
But Djokovic is still a seasoned player after all, and every time he stands on the brink of a crisis, he can always use his strong bottom line to turn the tide and secure his serve.
Of course, Djokovic also caused a lot of trouble in Gao Wen's serve.
On the other hand, Gao Wen's serving state is very good today. Although there is no ACE so far, the layout can always be completed through the change of placement and rotation, and the next shot after the serve is also very good.
In the second game, which was his first serve game after Gao Wen broke Djokovic, Djokovic once got a break point, and it was two non-consecutive ones, but Gao Wen's excellent performance at the critical moment still stood firm, and Djokovic's start was really slow, so Gao Wen completed the serve without any risk.
Then, the game fell into a stalemate like this.
The stalemate continued all the way to "5:4". After Djokovic kept serve without facing the threat of a break point, Gao Wen ushered in his own serve to win the game.
Obviously, Djokovic will not allow Gawain to hold the serve easily.
"30:30", then Djokovic used an airtight defense to force Gao Wen's forehand attack to grow out of the bottom line, and won the third break point of the game.
"30:40", then Gao Wen used a super big outside corner and a two-handed backhand straight attack to save the break point, and the two sides came to a tie.
Then, the two sides fell into a fierce battle.
Djokovic missed four more break points, and Gao Wen also missed two set points. The two sides reached the seventh tie. This round has been going on for nearly fifteen minutes, and there is still no winner.
Immediately afterwards, Djokovic won a round of 31 shots, which ended with Gao Wen's shot off the net, giving the opponent the sixth break point of the game.
The burning air was almost suffocating.
Facing the break point for the sixth time, the two sides fell into a tug-of-war again—
In the first four shots, both sides were suppressing each other's backhands, and then Gao Wen took the lead to change the line, but the angle was not torn apart, and Djokovic easily caught it.
Then it evolved into a square ball, straight line-diagonal line-diagonal line-straight line, and the figures of the two players galloping across the court made the golden sun boil.
Another round of sixteen.
Chance!
Gawain returned the ball shallowly once, and Djokovic immediately entered the bottom line and hit the half-court ball with a forehand. The diagonal attack is undoubtedly his best line.
However, Djokovic still added insurance at the critical moment to ensure that his shot could fall within the bounds, which also allowed the tennis ball to have enough spin height after it bounced off the ground.
Gao Wen ran at full speed, and even though he had lost his hitting position, he still made a split and slashed down hard with his forehand.
One cut and one cut.
Cutting a low and fast slash, Djokovic successfully put pressure on the net from full speed and was about to make another shot in front of the net. The forehand ball tore a channel, and he jumped out in a blink of an eye.
The referee had already reported the score directly, and the fans all shook their heads and let out incredible exclamations—
For this point, Djokovic has already got the chance to attack the half-court ball, and he is sure. He really shouldn't miss the chance to score.
Djokovic was also very dissatisfied with his performance, and babbled and cursed towards his player box, venting his anger.
"...the sixth break point."
Zhan Jun couldn't believe his eyes, when did Djokovic perform so badly on the break point?
"Gao Wen has saved six break points. This round has returned to the tie for the seventh or eighth time. In the winning game of serve, Djokovic launched a strong attack, but he still failed to break the high serve point. Wen’s last line of defense.”
"The fierce battle of this round is still going on."
Because there were so many repeated equal points that the commentators couldn't remember clearly, and the anxious atmosphere of the game was almost suffocating.
Zhan Jun and Hu Litao exchanged glances. Neither of them expected that the competition in the first set would be so intense.
It can be said that Djokovic has played to the extreme of his current state. The six break points are the best proof that the world number one can still hold on to the game when his state is not adjusted to the best; but Gao Wen The performance is not inferior, and he can still grit his teeth and stand firm under extreme difficulties.
This game alone is worth the price of admission.
However, the outcome of the first set was still undecided, and the fierce battle continued.
split equally.
call…
Gao Wen let out a long breath, and adjusted his breathing a little after the tug-of-war of multiple shots~www.mtlnovel.com~ before he started to shoot the ball.
Gao Wen glanced at Djokovic's position out of the corner of his eye. In fact, nothing could be seen from the position, because Djokovic's fake movements have always been very subtle; Predict Djokovic's return tactics.
How would Djokovic move?
Tennis is a process of guessing each other, checking each other, and fighting against each other.
Then-
Throw the ball! Kick off! Bow your knees! Turn! hit the ball!
Outer corner!
Gao Wen chose the wide outside corner and aimed at Djokovic's forehand, but this time Djokovic's judgment was obviously wrong. He thought that Gao Wen would suppress his backhand, so he jumped on the spot and was about to attack I found that I made a mistake in my judgment, and it was too late to start again.
"ACE!"
"pretty!"
"This is Gao Wen's first ACE in the first game. It appeared at the most critical and urgent moment, and once again let us see the big heart of this young player!"
Zhan Jun was about to start a fight, but on the court, Gao Wen didn't celebrate. He just clenched his fists and looked back at Djokovic resolutely:
That firmness, that hotness, has never wavered.
Djokovic didn't notice Gao Wen's eyes, because he was yelling at his coaching team. Although it was in Serbian, which he couldn't understand at all, he could tell from his body language:
He was very, very dissatisfied with his misjudgment just now, and he needed to vent it.
However, no matter how angry or irritable, Gao Wen scored this point in the most economical, easiest and quickest way, breaking the balance again—
"AD: 40", the third game point and inventory.
