inventory.
This is the suffocating tie-break, a break point gap, but because of the order of serving, Gao Wen was pushed to the edge of the cliff in a blink of an eye, and he had to face the test of continuous counting.
Although it is said that the next two points are Gao Wen's serve points, but at this time he has no room for error, and Kyrgios is on the opposite side of the net. Three discs are gone.
It now appears that Kyrgios has taken the absolute initiative.
So, what should Gao Wen do?
The answer is, there is nothing to do, but focus on the point in front of you. Because of the need to face continuous counting, Gao Wen actually has no room for thinking. The only thing he can do is to go point by point, and then look at the atmosphere of the game. Whether there will be changes, whether you can find opportunities.
Snapped. Snapped. Snapped.
Under the night, the Arthur Ashe Stadium looked solemn and magnificent. Without the sunlight, you could still feel the burning heat of the lights dancing on the skin surface, and then the sound of Gao Wen hitting the ball continued to reverberate.
Kick off! Bend your knees! Turn! swing!
Standing in the second zone, Gao Wen's serve chose the forehand landing point in the middle. The speed of the ball was not fast, and it flew slowly.
Kyrgios had enough time to move sideways and make room for the forehand to complete the swing, but just when the tennis ball was about to rush towards him, he suddenly discovered that Gawain added enough friction when serving the ball to form a With internal rotation, the tennis ball bounced back towards his body all the way towards his body, and then approached again. Naturally, the hitting space was squeezed and squeezed again.
Lean back. Lean back again.
Kyrgios was forced to make a lower back movement, barely getting out of the swing space, and swung his forearm quickly, but exploded with incredible strength within a small range.
boom.

Even when the body loses its position.
Whoosh.

How to deal with it?
Gawain can chip a shot or hit a topspin deep ball or pop a small shot, and if he's willing to transition, he can always find a way.
But Gao Wen didn't want to, he had his own plans.
With no time or space to adjust his footsteps, Gao Wen completely "throws" his upper body out, his left foot forms a single-leg support, and his right calf kicks **** the ground, and his whole body takes off directly, independent as a golden rooster. The way to complete the power push.
Backhand straight.
Under extremely difficult circumstances, Gawain chose to take risks again.
In fact, the line change this time was very, very difficult, because of Kyrgios' power suppression, and because Gawain lost his position and lacked enough swing space, the chance of a successful line change may only be 10%; but Gawain did not forget one thing, It's a tie-break, and now it's Kyrgios' tally—
If he is timid about hitting the ball and just looking for a safe return, then Kyrgios can easily complete the shot and even play again.
Assuming that the third set is doomed to be lost, at least Gao Wen can choose to lose the set, and then meet the fourth set with a calm and tough attitude, striving to bring the game to the fifth set.
In other words, this is a contest of momentum and a tactical layout.
Gao Wen could not retreat.
Not only can't retreat, but also show momentum.
