"ah!"
Gao Wen clenched his fists tightly, and the surging passion was completely released.
"Ahhh!"
The repressed and repressed emotions can finally be vented for a short time, and I can prove myself in the most familiar and toughest way:
In the first set, he hadn't given up yet.
Facing Nadal, this is indeed Gawain's most difficult match so far.
On the one hand, it is Nadal's style of play, which is not easy for any player who faces Nadal for the first time. The other Big Three all ended in losses against Nadal for the first time in their careers.
On the other hand, it is Gao Wen's state. He is indeed still far from his best state, and his batting touch is still not at its best.
After one plus and one minus, the difficulty and hardship of the game can be expected in advance. Sampras has already reminded Gao Wen, but the problem is that the actual situation is even more severe than the psychological preparation expected.
This is a very different situation from the US Open semi-final against Djokovic.
In today's opening stage, Nadal is also typically slow, and it takes a little time to adapt to the first match, so both players are keeping their serve; but in the middle, Nadal's unique style of play began to gain the upper hand, with super topspin It made Gao Wen very, very uncomfortable.
In fact, Gao Wen himself is also a player who is good at using spin. He made his opponents suffer many times in the NCAA, but he only knows what spin is when he really stands in front of the "King of Clay".
After the "2:2", Nadal took the lead to break the score and get a "2:4" lead. He also got a break point in Gao Wen's next two serve games , the performance is very strong.
Gao Wen's performance was very strong. He saved four break points, one of which was also a break point and an inventory. He kept serve twice in a row, but he was still "4:5" behind.
Then, Nadal took a "40:15" lead in his own serve win, and got two consecutive set points.
From all aspects, the first set was indeed extremely difficult. Almost every game was facing difficulties, and the consequences of long-term lack of battle and lack of training were fully exposed.
Even Gao Wen himself was a little impatient. Facing such a strong opponent, he was still unable to perform at his best level, which was very frustrating.
The system is also proving this point, you can see it in the hidden attribute bar—
Current Competitive Status: The pointer is close to the red area (negative status, fatigue).
In fact, after the end of the US Open, when the hidden attribute appeared, it was a negative state, but this month, the negative state has not been lifted. Instead, the yellow pointer is further testing the edge of the red area.
But, just disarm like this? Just give up like this?
Obviously, giving up was never an option.
As Gao Wen said before the game, no matter what, he needs to show all of himself without reservation. At the end of the game, no matter whether he wins or loses, he can turn around and leave with his head held high.
What's more, facing the "God of War" Nadal, how can such a precious and rare game opportunity be easily wasted? From game experience to self-development, this is a game worth fighting to the end.
Gao Wen swears that it is definitely not for "rolling wool"—
Although he just glanced at the summoning system, the growth potential has increased by 18% before the first game is over, which is worthy of being a **** of war.
Therefore, even in the face of stocktaking, Gao Wen never gave up the fight, was always thinking about solutions, and was always looking for means and methods to break the situation.
victory?
No matter who it belongs to in the end, it must be fought to the end before it can be revealed.
Gawain ended the point with the winner in brilliant fashion, saving the first set point, before the impassioned spirits were unleashed.
"Ahhh!"
However, the King of Spain was completely unmoved, still concentrating on completing preparations according to his own habits, and taking the opportunity to wipe off his sweat to think about the layout of the next point.
"40:30".
Second inventory.
Gao Wen knew that with Nadal's character, this point would return to his familiar routine, and he would not take the risk of pursuing a winning point with one shot or two, but would build an advantage through a steady and steady layout.
As expected.
From the start of the serving session, Nadal did not choose to take risks and gamble, but chose the shot he is best at and most familiar with—
Second zone, outside corner, suppress backhand.
With the advantage of his left hand, Nadal is often able to throw a super-spinning big outer corner serve in the second zone, which not only pulls the player out of the field, but also suppresses the backhand. After the player returns the ball, Nadal will attack with the next shot You can gain a huge advantage.
This is also Nadal's famous stunt. At critical moments, he can never make mistakes.
Gao Wen also anticipated such a possibility, moved ahead of time and started ahead of time, and he was blocked in the outer corner; but the strength of Nadal's method lies in absolute suppression, and it is difficult for even Djokovic to easily reverse the situation.
Moreover, with Gao Wen's current batting state, even if he predicts it in advance, it will be difficult for him to launch a counterattack on the spot, so he needs to be smarter.
stride! swing! Welcome!
Is it a line change?
No!
Instead of changing the line, but exerting strength, Gao Wen gave up the change of the line, but took the initiative to forcefully attack—
appalling!
But Gao Wen also knew the difficulty and risk of grabbing Nadal's outside corner, so he sacrificed the change of the route, basically returning along the original route, and his force was not blindly hitting the wall, and the wrapping of the wrist pushed the tennis ball deep.
At the same time, topspin is increased through intense friction.
This is a typical Nadal's forehand style. Even if he takes the initiative to exert force, he still has "Na's topspin", but Gawain's speed is far behind, and the backhand force still lacks a bit of instant burst. sense of release.
One push! One!
The tennis ball flew back again.
Nadal was already ready, and adjusted his position in small steps. Seeing that Gao Wen's return ball was fixed on the line of the close body and backhand, he moved ahead of time, turned sideways forehand, and exerted force again.
ah!
Nadal let out a roar when he took the initiative to exert force. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com completed the shot with a forehand that swept away thousands of troops. Add pressure.
boom!
The tennis ball hit the past like a fireball!
You can clearly feel Nadal's full strength, and still with a strong top spin, he slammed deeply and heavily towards the bottom line.
straight line!
To be precise, it is a small slanted line about 30 degrees away from the straight track, about one step away from the midpoint of the bottom line of the court, just to disrupt Gao Wen's defensive rhythm of horizontal sprinting, just like a car accident caused by the time difference and position difference at a crossroads generally.
And...it worked!
Gao Wen was running at full speed and moving laterally, chasing after the tail of the strong wind with big strides, but found that the line of returning the ball was not completely straightened in the wind, so the big strides turned into small steps, and the inertia of leaning forward pushed his body continuously Forward, hunting storms swarmed from all around.
