Match Point: Chapter 1411 nothing else

"6:4", the first set victory belongs to Nadal.

However, to Gao Wen, this was nothing. Even though he lost the first game, he still gained a lot and had more confidence in the follow-up confrontation.

really!

In the second set, Gao Wen's performance was still vigorous, the confrontation was still anxious, tense and close, and there was still no clue of the suspense of the victory.

In this box, Nadal continued to output. He got eleven break points before and after, but missed all of them. At critical moments, Gao Wen was always able to improve his state.

On that side, Gao Wen fought back vigorously, and he also forced a total of eight break points, but unfortunately none of them were fulfilled. Nadal has already shown his eighteen skills.

Mutual exchange.

Dog-toothed.

Throughout the second set, confrontation and counterattack were the main theme. The two players have put aside all distractions and entered the battle mode. The collision of the bayonets was really exciting. , although there was no break throughout the whole process, it was still too good to stop.

at last-

"5:4".

Relying on the advantage of serving first, Nadal always maintained the lead in the score, and at the end of the game, Gao Wen had no way out of serve and launched an offensive again.

Put pressure on - strike back.

Assault - tough.

However, at the critical moment, Gao Wen's big heart repeatedly contributed top performances. Amidst the audience's exclamation and admiration, he became more and more courageous. He saved three break points and counts, and refused to surrender.

The game quietly came to a fork in the road—

If there is a break in this round and the victory in the second set is directly lost, then Gao Wen will face the thrilling situation of "0:2" with a big score.

Here, a set of data needs to be explained:

In Nadal's career, in the five-set best-of-three match, after winning two sets first to obtain a "2:0" lead, he has not yet lost.

Record, 151 wins, 0 losses.

And, don't forget, this is Roland Garros.

This also means that once Nadal wins the second set, his confidence and belief will reach a new high point. For Gao Wen, it will be a hundred times more difficult to replicate the feat of allowing the second to chase the third in this year's Australian Open final Double up, after all, this is clay, and Gao Wen himself lacks confidence.

The crisis, the unprecedented crisis, can be said to be hanging on the cliff with one hand, precarious and precarious.

It is precisely because of this that Gao Wen's state has been stretched to the extreme, and every point is regarded as a match point.

But at the same time, Nadal's ability to interpret the game is also extraordinary. He realized that the first turning point of the game had arrived and he needed to grasp it.

Between coming and going, the atmosphere became tense to the extreme, and it seemed that one could smell the smoke of gunpowder in the air, making one's blood boil.

So, when Nadal got a break point again—

He, fully released, let out a roar from the depths of his soul.

Because the score is stalemate, because of the extreme hardship, and because the air is so stalemate that it is suffocating.

Because he has wasted too many break points since the two games, he is really dissatisfied with his performance in the key score, and urgently needs to mobilize his state; moreover, because this is the first turning point of the whole game, through his unremitting efforts, he will win again. Fight it out, and the soul starts to burn.

—The twenty-first break point.

Just from this set of statistics, it can be seen how fierce this match was. Moreover, Gao Wen also won 12 break points, which was comparable.

However, Nadal's break success rate is only a pitiful 5%, which is far, far lower than his normal level; but looking at Gawain's 0% break success rate, we can understand the reason. Obviously, the two The players are all mobilizing their best form at critical moments and maintaining high-intensity duels throughout the process.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock...

The second set is still going on, but the game time has exceeded 100 minutes, which also means that the two players have maintained the top and strongest performance for more than an hour and a half. It is really hard to imagine the physical and mental strength How serious the consumption is, but still can't relax—

Despite being tired, tense, and burning, we must continue to grit our teeth and keep fighting. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.

The bayonet saw red.

Bloody.

In this room, Gawain's brain has completely calmed down, he is fully focused and has no other distractions—

There is no way out, which means that the whole boat is ruined.

Now, for Gao Wen, every point is a match point. He can't and doesn't need to think too much, and the point is to focus on the point in front of him wholeheartedly.

Him, no chance?

No, of course not, Nadal got the chance, and he also got the chance. The stalemate in this game has never been broken.

Perhaps, some people are curious. Nadal has no serious injuries this season and has missed the game, but his state has always been sluggish. What is the specific manifestation?

The answer is, forehand and movement.

As a result, Nadal has been suffering from minor injuries to his left wrist. Although he does not need surgery for the time being, the impact will always exist.

Secondly, Nadal has been suffering from injuries to his knee and left foot, and they attack from time to time, which affects his movement and becomes an indefinite time bomb that interferes with the game.

Fans who are familiar with Nadal should know that these two items are precisely Nadal’s strongest weapons. He is basically dragging half of his body to play, but he can still make it to the quarter-finals at Roland Garros, proving once again Iron will is Nadal's housekeeping skill based on tennis.

These details are embodied in the game:

When there is a problem with the forehand, the lack of a one-shot offensive scoring method is one part, and the inability to continuously exert pressure on the forehand to build an advantage for oneself is another part.

When there is a problem with movement, the hitting point and timing of hitting the ball are prone to deviation. Compared with offense, the decline in defensive quality is a fatal blow.

This also meant that Gao Wen did have a chance.

Of course, if you want to seize these weaknesses to create opportunities and seize opportunities, it also depends on whether Nadal agrees—

Gao Wen thought he could.

In the future 2021 ~www.mtlnovel.com~ French Open semi-finals, Nadal and Djokovic face each other across the net.

In that game, in the first set, Nadal once led "5:0", and then Djokovic chased three games in a row, and once regained his form, but Nadal still stood firm, "6:3" Win the first set.

At that time, almost everyone believed that the game would enter Nadal's rhythm again, and then go to the standard ending again, but the reality gave another answer.

Nadal lost three sets in a row, and in the fourth set, he lost six games in a row with a "2:0" lead. He swallowed the third loss of his career at Roland Garros and watched Djokovic into the finals.

Later, in the post-match interview, Tony Nadal said that after leading the first set, Djokovic slowly regained his form and continued to chase points. Nadal's confidence was shaken, and he began to question himself. Doubts planted the seeds, and finally became a key to changing the trend of the game.

Everyone says that Nadal is the God of War, and his tenacity, tenacity, and will are the core of his achievements; but with age, physical protests, and injuries, Nadal will also doubt and He can swing and be anxious, but after all, he is just a mortal body.

Therefore, in Gao Wen's view, he still has a chance. As long as he can grit his teeth and survive this moment, Nadal will also be shaken.
