Match Point: Chapter 1862 Ready

The whole place was boiling—

The same goes for the commentary booth.

At this moment, Zhan Jun and Hu Litao were above Arthur Ashe Stadium, witnessing with their own eyes the mighty heat wave erupting in front of them.

Mood, agitated.

In fact, last year was a surprise, one step at a time, one after another. Every time Gao Wen advanced to a round, it brought new surprises; but in essence, they did not have high expectations, but high expectations. Watching one more show is a relaxing experience of witnessing history.

This year, it's different.

In the beginning, it was the same to some extent. Because the condition of Gao Wen's injury was unknown, they kept telling themselves that they should lower their expectations and maintain a normal mind. As long as Gao Wen could win one more game, it would be a gain, and they should try to avoid inflicting unnecessary pain on Gao Wen. Take the necessary pressure and control yourself.

However, as the event progressed, expectations began to rise.

Verbally, they kept advising themselves to calm down, calm down, and calm down again, especially since Gao Wen had just suffered an ankle sprain accident in the third round. Any expectation is a luxury, any pressure is a disaster, and a normal heart is more important than ever. More important, but not on the inside.

They followed Gawain forward, accompanied Gawain to fight, and witnessed Gawain's struggle. Involuntarily and uncontrollably, their blood began to boil.

That kind of mixed joy and worry, happiness and pressure, excitement and hesitation are really too complex and too rich. Just describing them in words still seems pale. It is impossible to express my contradictory and exciting mood. I just follow Gawain. Move forward one step at a time.

Tonight is no exception.

but!

When they saw the seventh game of the first set, the surging joy still burst out uncontrollably, instantly overwhelming their sanity.

"Wonderful!"

"This game just now was really exciting!"

Zhan Jun tried hard to control his emotions and stay calm, but the warmth conveyed by his voice could still deeply feel the passion of the scene.

"Teacher Hu, how do you think Gao Wen adjusted his performance in this round?"

Hu Litao still looks unhurried, but behind the live broadcast screen, you can still see the difference in the smile on the corner of his mouth and the brightness in his eyes.

"I personally think it's about 80% to 90%."

"Judging from the quality of Gao Wen's batting, there is still room for adjustment and improvement, but what is really valuable about this game is his tactical awareness."

"Fans who are familiar with Gao Wen should know that this is a player who relies on his mind to play. His ability to capture opportunities, control of situations, layout of routes, etc. are all top ATPs today. When he is at his best, When the situation is good, the tactical awareness is different."

"At this year's US Open, due to injuries and accidents, Gao Wen always played in a calm manner, which was different from usual. He made adjustments according to his own situation, including this game, although the pre-game tactical arrangements were slightly different. It’s different, but judging from the first six rounds, Gawain still has reservations.”

"Until this inning."

A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the door.

Zhan Jun also nodded in agreement and took over the conversation.

"really."

"In the game just now, Gasquet's offense was very beautiful. He was not only tough but determined, and his shot selection at critical moments also brought surprises."

"But Gao Wen is still superior in skills. In his shot selection in a strong collision situation, Gao Wen's maturity can be seen at this time. After polishing in the clay and grass seasons, Gao Wen's tactical routines are now richer and more diverse. , has better control over the rhythm of the game and transitions between offense and defense."

"It's not that Gasquet didn't play well, it's that Gawain performed better."

"Judging from this round, Gao Wen has entered the top eight and is ready to meet the top ten players in the world. His mental outlook is completely different."

"The follow-up is worth looking forward to."

Professionals are different after all, they see the essence through phenomena.

Not only did they see Gao Wen break serve first in the seventh game, but they also saw the context behind the strong collision between the two players, especially Gao Wen's improved condition.

Facts also proved that their judgment was correct.

The eighth game, "40:15".

Gawain and Gasquet once again launched a strong attack on each other.

When Gasquet was suppressed, he relied on a straight backhand shot to reverse the disadvantage and seize the opportunity. However, Gao Wen's forehand slash "inside-out" penetrated the entire court in a passive defensive state, forcing Gasquet to take advantage of the situation. Kuite's forehand pushed out of bounds, and he turned from defense to offense and won the point.

Guaranteed hair.

In the ninth game, "40: Ad".

Gasquet missed three game points, and then fell into a passive position. Gawain got the break point and set point, and the situation became anxious again.

At the critical moment, Gasquet was not soft-hearted and relied on his serve to establish an advantage, forcing Gao Wen to hit the ball high. Gasquet's steps were quick and he entered the frontcourt to complete the high pressure in front of the net. However, he did not expect that the first high-pressure ball player was weak. As a result, Gao Wen pushed the ball into a passive situation.

The quality of Gasquet's high-pressure ball dropped significantly in the second shot, and the strength, speed and line were all exposed. Gawain shot a two-handed backhand diagonally to break the net. The defense in a completely passive situation was full of energy. The sharpness of the offense tore through Gasquet's unreliable defense.

Break.

"6:3".

The first inventory was fulfilled successfully.

Gao Wen won three consecutive games at the end of the set, showing his state and confidence in a head-on duel.

The whole place was boiling.

Looking back at the first set, was Gasquet out of his depth?

No, it's not.

Gasquet performed very well, his touch is still hot, his condition is still booming, and his confidence is still at its peak, UU Reading www.uukanshu. Unbelievable attacks abound in com. Needless to say, the backhand position is needless to say, and the forehand has also repeatedly performed amazingly. The good state since the grass season has continued smoothly.

However, Gasquet was still in the midst of a strong collision. He lost three consecutive games at the end of the set, was broken in two service games, and won the first set.

The only thing that can be said is that Gawain is indeed on a higher level.

After continuously experiencing the test of Belucic and Agut, two players with solid basic skills who came from clay, Gao Wen's bottom line state has fully recovered. Not only is the stability of the round ball tug-of-war, he has shown top level on both ends of the offense and defense; but also the transition between offense and defense. The connection has gradually caught up with the top level.

The familiar Gawain is returning.

Strictly speaking, the gap between Gasquet and Gauvin is not that exaggerated.

Maybe some viewers saw the score of the first set and the trend of Gasquet losing three consecutive games in the end, and took it for granted that Gasquet still lost his chain.

In fact, no.

Compared to the score, the anxiety of the game was far beyond imagination.

As Zhan Jun and Hu Litao said, the real focus lies in the overall improvement of Gao Wen's tactical awareness.

Choose the right tactics at the right time, use the right method to realize the advantage, seize the fortress of the game, destroy the opponent from the psychological to tactical level, subvert the balance of confrontation in one fell swoop, and finally win the first set with all your strength and lay the foundation for the entire game. The tone of winning and losing trends.

This is what is truly worthy of admiration.

Not only Gasquet, but also the next potential opponents and potential matches, Gao Wen is ready-

The storm is coming.
