Match Point: Chapter 1823 Climb higher step by step

stuffy.
Compared with "hot", "scorching summer", etc., "boring" is a more accurate adjective, a depressing, blocked, heavy and difficult-to-unblock feeling.
Every pore in his body was blocked, it was hot and dull, heavy and oppressive, like a heavy object pressing on his chest, and it became heavier and heavier as time went on.
The most obvious and direct experience is that it is difficult to absorb oxygen, breathing becomes more and more rapid, and the steps become heavier and heavier, and I can never vent.
It's just... boring.
Not only is the consumption becoming more and more intense and rapid, but the recovery speed is also getting slower and slower, which is undoubtedly a challenge for players.
However, Gawain is ready.
I had a brief experience of the last round of the game with Fish. That game was scheduled for the third matinee. It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon when it came on. Although the sun was still fierce, it was slowly cooling down - and The temperature is not rising continuously, and the impact of strong winds is not that great.
Debuting at noon today, Gao Wen also anticipated the impact of the weather. From the beginning of warm-up to preparation, he anticipated all potential difficulties in advance.
"6:4".
Gawain, play the next game first.
As game after game progresses, Gao Wen is regaining his game feel bit by bit through actual confrontations and strong collisions.
Bellucic from Brazil is the most successful Brazilian men's singles player after Kurten. He was born in 1987 and is also a member of the current Mesozoic generation of professional tennis. The world ranking once reached 21st in July 2010. And has a record of defeating Murray, Berdych and others.
Although he has never broken into the top twenty in the world, and his best performance in a Grand Slam was only the fourth round, there is no doubt that he is the most common and common blue-collar player on the tour. He may lack brilliant moments, but he has always been He is an indispensable presence in the professional arena, just like a worker ant.
Bellucic is a typical clay-court player, with solid baseline skills, excellent round-ball stalemate ability, and his own understanding of spin and bounce. All four of his career tour championships came from clay, and he even lost in the other four finals. Three defeats came on clay.
This year, in New York, Bellucic had a good fortune and ushered in the first breakthrough of his career -
Breaking into the third round for the first time in a hard court Grand Slam tournament.
Previously, whether it was the Australian Open or the US Open, Bellucic was stopped in the first or second round. Even Wimbledon had a third round experience, but his performance on hard courts was really unsatisfactory.
Unexpectedly, this US Open, which was full of surprises and chaos, became a breakthrough for Bellusic, winning two games in a row and getting the opportunity to challenge Gawain.
If you underestimate Bellusic because of the "clay clay" stereotype and past performance, you will definitely suffer.
Although Bellucic's performance on hard courts has not been good, his basic skills honed on clay are particularly good, and his defensive skills are excellent.
It is precisely because of this that Bellucic reached the finals on indoor hard courts in Moscow in 2012.

Obviously, Bellucic also has his own skills to be able to maintain his position in the top 50 in the highly competitive ATP all year round.
Facing such a player requires patience and calmness, because the opponent can always maintain a relatively stable state. Especially in this year's US Open competition environment, weather factors play an important role, and the ups and downs of physical fitness and status are obvious, but Bei Rusic remains stable.
Therefore, Bellucic's conscientiousness can find opportunities.
In the second set.
Bellucic broke serve first.
In the hot weather, Gawain's physical energy consumption increased significantly. The biggest disadvantage of missing top competition after being away from the competition for two weeks was finally exposed at this time -
Adaptability and endurance in sustained high-intensity confrontation.
This state cannot be achieved overnight, nor can it break out in an instant. It must be slowly polished through strong collisions one after another, and no player is exception.
The same is naturally true for Gao Wen. In the past two months, he still lacked top-level competition.
Of course, the hot weather didn't help either. Judging from the comfort of the playing environment, it was even worse than Melbourne Park.
then.
In the middle of the second set, Gauvin had some fluctuations in his serve. Although Bellusic was not blessed with divine help, he still remained stable and the entire state was maintained on a relatively stable straight line. Once Gauvin's condition declined, , Bellusic also took the initiative.
—By the way, Bellucic shot with his left hand.
The feeling of confrontation throughout the round, the layout of the return line, including the direction of the return rotation, etc. are all slightly different. Gao Wen still lacks experience in playing with left-handed players, and some of his feelings after returning from injury are not at their best. Fluctuations within a serving game are amplified.
The spin from Bellusic's straight forehand shot in the deep area was very special. The flight trajectory after landing was different from Gao Wen's prediction. As a result, Gao Wen's forehand shot missed the sweet spot and the return ball went out of bounds. Bellusic caught it. Seizing the opportunity, he only needed two break points to successfully cash in and successfully complete the break.
Immediately afterwards, Belucic played steadily. Although Gao Wen launched a counterattack on the spot, Belucic still maintained a high concentration of attention on the critical score. After withstanding a deuce test, he successfully maintained serve and realized the break advantage. Taking the lead for the first time in a game.
"4:1".
In the second set, Bellucic, who served first, firmly took the initiative.
At this time, the impact of the weather and environment was particularly obvious. The entire Arthur Ashe Stadium was like a steamer, and even if you were sitting there, you were still sweating like rain.
Gawain's state reached a small low point -
"15:15".
Another forehand error caused him to lose a point. Gao Wen showed a wry smile and shook his head slightly, obviously not satisfied with his performance at this stage. UU reading www.uukanshu． com
The entire speed and rhythm failed to connect, and in the end Gawain had to rely purely on his own initiative. This was obviously not a game style he was familiar with.
From before to now, Gawain has never been a power player.
But the problem is that at this stage, the tennis ball feels very heavy and sticky, and the entire hitting feels uncomfortable. Coupled with Bellucic's baseline stalemate ability, the round is endlessly entangled.

He needs to be patient and sober at the same time.
Obviously, it's not easy.
Taking a deep breath, Gao Wen organized his thoughts, collected all the scattered thoughts, and reminded himself to stay focused, not to be affected by the weather or opponents, focus on himself, and start with his own serve.
a district.
The first serve hit the net, and the second serve was once again entangled in the back and forth. This time Gao Wen was obviously much more patient. He made full use of the space on the court through different hitting combinations, and the two players started to fight at the baseline.
Snapped!
When Bellucic was extremely passive, he hit a skateboard with his forehand, but the angle was not completely widened and the quality of the shot did not meet expectations.
Chance!
Gawain immediately grabbed the gap, adjusted his lateral movement in small steps, and prepared to shoot with his forehand and shoot straight back. He kicked his feet hard, and the next step was to exert force. However, he never expected that his knees would become weak -
He rushed with strength, but found no support. His ankle turned, and the next second, the whole world was spinning.
Some people died, but not completely…
