"ah!"

Pulan couldn't control herself anymore and screamed.

"Ahhh!"

Clenching his fists, cheering heartily, he jumped up uncontrollably, his brain roared, and he completely lost his ability to think.

Break, appeared.

In the final set, Gao Wen was the first to break serve.

"4:2".

It was the first time in his career that he set foot on the stage of Roland Garros. In the round of 16, he faced Tsonga, the darling of the host, and fought fiercely all the way to the final set. Then, Gao Wen accurately interpreted the game, firmly grasped the opportunity, and turned decay into magic. He took the lead in breaking serve and widened the score gap for the first time.

In the fourth set, Gao Wen kept falling behind. Although he kept fighting and trying, he still missed the victory in the end.

On one side is Tsonga, who fights at home and becomes more courageous in the Vietnam War.

On one side is Gao Wen who is fighting alone.

However, it was in such a predicament that Gao Wen overcame many difficulties and took the lead in breaking serve in the final set, and ignited and detonated the entire Philippe Chartier Stadium——

Applause, whistle, cheers, roars, shouts, overwhelming.

Parisian audiences are picky, demanding, and difficult to serve, but at the same time, they are also proud, lofty, and stick to the bottom line.

If the game is exciting enough, they will not be stingy with applause, they will not refuse to cheer for their opponents, and they will not deny wonderful shots.

This is their bottom line.

Just like this moment.

Applause, thunder.

The audience is boiling.

On the small TV screen, Pu Lan quietly watched Gao Wen:

After completing the ultimate shot, the inertia of the forward rush could not stop the car at all, so Gao Wen simply continued to rush forward, and jumped up with the momentum, raising his right fist high.

Sweating profusely, eyes bright.

The fighting spirit is high and the momentum is like a rainbow.

There was no shouting or cheering, just clenched fists and a smile on the corner of his mouth, showing a tenacious will and a burning fighting spirit from the inside out.

However, just such a scene can make people deeply feel the perseverance and determination in the eyes, and the blood boils involuntarily.

On the opposite side of the net, Tsonga looked at the direction of the tennis ball. Although he had chosen to press the net, Gawain's backhand slash was impeccable. From line to strength to timing, he made a comprehensive breakthrough and directly passed Tsonga The protective net, find the path to break the net, and complete a fatal blow.

Regret, surprise, surprise.

All kinds of emotions surged up, but Tsonga still applauded Gao Wen—

For this point, he has no regrets.

If he did it all over again, he didn't think he could do better. Gao Wen had indeed won it undisputed through his own hard work and strength.

As for the break, the game is not over anyway, he still has a chance, doesn't he?

Indeed, Tsonga needs to calm down and think carefully. He is now facing physical problems. He tried to hold serve quickly with a full blow but suffered a break. The disadvantage of late serve in the final set was further amplified. The next game will face more challenges and pressure. All kinds of situations are very unfavorable.

He needs to reflect and reframe.

but!

Tsonga will not collapse easily, let alone surrender easily.

Moreover, he was tired, and Gao Wen was also tired. In the game just now, Gao Wen's physical consumption was much higher than Tsonga's. The predicament of the final set was fair to them.

Now, it depends on who has better physical reserves and uses more appropriate tactics to connect their own games.

In fact, it is exactly so.

A small accident disrupted Gao Wen's plan, and he tried his best to complete the break, which indeed consumed a lot of Gao Wen's physical strength, and the impact immediately emerged—

Next, Gao Wen's own serve, because of physical fluctuations, failed to make a consecutive serve, which also gave Tsonga a lot of opportunities to attack the second serve.

From "40:30" holding the game point to "40:AD" facing the break point, Gao Wen's serve has also been tested, and it is also a test of key points.

Compared with Tsonga, Gao Wen's biggest advantage is that he has more scoring methods, and he has already started to plan from the first game of the final set.

Gao Wen disrupted Tsonga's predictions by combining a large number of different tactical combinations with different batting lines, avoided exposing his routines as much as possible, and gained room for tactical choices for himself. Change the balance between the two sides.

take precedence. split equally.

split equally. take precedence.

At this moment, you can clearly feel the swing of the state, Gao Wen is gritting his teeth, and Tsonga is working hard——

Standing on the cliff, Tsonga had no choice but to break the boat. He had no burden and no need to keep it. Even if his physical strength bottomed out, he knew that he had to give it a go, otherwise it would be useless to keep his physical strength.

Either squander the little energy left now and give it a go; or keep the energy and lose the game, and then go to the training ground to vent your energy after the game?

Obviously, this is a choice that can be made without thinking.

The side that has no retreat and no choice is always the side that plays better, especially the change of mentality, which also improves the feel of the ball.

In the last round, Tsonga's serve, the two sides were entangled for more than five minutes; this round, Gao Wen's serve, the two sides were deadlocked again for more than eight minutes.

It has been a long time since the last break, but neither player has room to adjust their physical fitness, and once again felt the torment of the clay court game.

Both players are constantly challenging their limits, and at the same time, they are gritting their teeth and bursting out with more energy. The burning feeling is getting stronger and stronger under the doomsday atmosphere.

Now, Gao Wen has to thank Pelt for his clay-court physical training that started early, and constantly challenged his limits. The consumption and suffering of this game has exceeded the Australian Open final, which is mainly determined by the characteristics of the clay-court. Test the player's willpower in every direction.

In addition, the advantages of physical attributes over technical attributes for the first time were also fully highlighted in the clay court season. Gao Wen withstood the impact of Tsonga.

That side, Tsonga missed three break points.

This time, Gao Wen finally got his second game point. It was not easy, really not easy.

It would be great if he could serve an ACE at this time, but at this stage of the final set, let alone Gao Wen, Tsonga's serving power has also plummeted, so instead of pinning his hopes on the ACE, it is better Get down to earth and build your entire offense with the serve.

In fact, it can be seen from the last game that now it is not just a contest of physical strength, technology, ability, and on-the-spot performance, but more of a contest of will.

When facing the break point, Tsonga's performance was good enough, but with his tenacious will, Gao Wen showed a more beautiful and exciting performance, cashed in the break point, and brought out the break point advantage in the final set; It was Gao Wen's turn. Facing Tsonga, who was dying, their positions were reversed.

but-

Gao Wen is ready.

The air in the Philippe Chartier stadium was a little frozen, and the sky seemed to be collapsing at any moment.

Although he had just wiped off his sweat, when he turned around, the sweat dripped down his chin again. It was a little itchy, and Gawain had to wipe off the sweat with his wristband.

He raised his head and glanced at Tsonga to confirm that his opponent was ready, and then Gao Wen was ready to serve.

Second District.

Close body pressure backhand.
