Chapter 1651 Bloody Burning

Strong wind, hunting——

For a moment, there seemed to be an illusion that Gawain was flying in the air. Until the tennis ball hit the ground, his body was still floating in the air.

A perfect collision of strength and skill, not only brave but also determined, seizing the opportunity to break the deadlock again and complete the mini-break for the second time.

"5:3", the balance of the tie-break was overturned again.

However!

Gawain did not scream, release or vent. He just clenched his fists and looked at Murray resolutely, his belief in victory shining brightly.

The game is not over yet, Gawain's desire and fighting spirit are still burning, and his eyes aiming at victory in the fourth set reveal incredible determination.

The whole place was boiling, almost breathless.

Murray felt it too.

He knows that he needs to fight back, he needs to be calm, and he needs to curb Gawain's momentum. Otherwise, once Gawain goes crazy, it will not only be a matter of victory or defeat in the fourth set, but maybe even in the fifth set. Will fall into passivity, whether it is to win the fourth set or the entire game——

He needs to respond.

At this point, you can see the difference.

This time, Murray did not get angry. He really calmed down and walked to the side of the court very calmly. He picked up a towel and wiped his sweat. His brain had begun to work quickly. His attention did not continue to linger on the point just now, thinking "What if?" How?" and instead aimed for the next point.

Next, it is still Murray's service point. As long as this point can be saved, it will be "5:4". There is still a lot to do with Gao Wen's two service points; but if this point is also lost, , that is taking stock, so Murray knows very well that he needs to be fully focused at this time.

call.

Murray stood at the bottom line of the first area, ready to serve, and looked up at Gao Wen.

He threw the ball.

Area 1, outer corner.

Flat shot, 121 mph (1 has power, not the top, but it also has placement, a tactical shot.

Moreover, it has entered the zone.

On the front foot, Gawain improves his condition; on the back foot, Murray also improves his condition.

With their physical fitness declining, the match had lasted for more than three hours. Both players were at their best, and they could vaguely re-see the feeling of confrontation in the first two sets. Although their physical strength was no longer at the level of the opening game, the tension was still there. The feeling spread in the center court in an instant.

Gawain fell into passivity.

Faced with such a serve, there was actually a limit to what Gao Wen could do. He could only take one step across, barely hit a forehand shot, and wrap the tennis ball back.

That's basically all.

Under the impact of multiple pressures from speed, angle and strength, all Gao Wen's attempts were compressed to the minimum. Even the control of the return line was weakened. The entire tactical layout entered Murray's rhythm, and even Even Gawain's ball quality can hardly bring more impact.

really--

Diagonally, I tried to press the deep zone but it was far from enough. I tried to increase the speed but the parabola didn't hold it down. I tried to pull away the angle but couldn't do it.

Murray arrived very promptly and immediately followed up with the follow-up attack.

Prejudgment!

At this time, it was a defensive game. Prejudgment was very, very important. Gao Wen adjusted his position in small steps and moved towards the backhand position, but his center of gravity did not completely leave. He reacted immediately when he saw Murray's shot, making an emergency stop. Turn, move towards the forehand position again, and reach the position in time.

——Slash!

In the final analysis, Murray still likes the forehand slash, which is very routine. Even though he has experienced countless games and is often seen through by his opponents, Murray's character is such that he is not only conservative but also stubborn, he still prefers the forehand slash.

This time, it's no exception.

Gao Wen's steps were quick and he hit a diagonal shot back with his forehand.

It's not that Gao Wen didn't want to change his line, but that he was squeezed when receiving the serve and his footwork adjustment was never in place. In addition, Murray's forehand diagonal attack was very strong and sturdy, heavy and fast. There was no room left for Gawain, so he did not choose to take the risk.

Gao Wen's attention was completely concentrated, and the next shot was still Murray's offensive connection——

So, will Murray choose to repeatedly hit the diagonal line like a rainy autumn, or will he choose to attack a straight line like a heavy rain in midsummer?

To be honest, Gawain has no way of judging, because the initiative lies in Murray's hands.

From a habitual point of view, Murray continued to repeat the slash for the second consecutive beat, which was a high probability event; but inexplicably, Gawain had a special intuition.

Maybe, slash?

It cannot be said to be pure intuition, but the entire game situation:

From the three-point confrontation between the two players in the past to the scene that overturned the situation after passing the match point to the current confrontation of the score, the most important thing for Murray to be among the giants is that he is smart enough——

Murray is very, very conservative, but if he really needs to break the deadlock, he can take decisive action. Although not that many times.

An inspection, a judgment, a capture.

Then Gawain moved.

It's not about moving in advance, but about adjusting in small steps, slowly adjusting the center of gravity, moving the steps to the left, but still focusing on the forehand position.

The description may seem long and cumbersome, but in fact, in the game, it takes less than the blink of an eye.

On that side, Murray had already taken action.

Forehand, straight line.

Raid, go online.

Everything is completely coherent, in one breath, and thunderous.

This is a typical grass tactic. For the 2013 tournament champion, Murray clearly knows how to use the grass to formulate tactics.

Two consecutive shots of forehand suppression had already suppressed Gao Wen deep in the bottom line, and Murray did not continue the stalemate pedantically——

If the forehand confrontation continues, Gao Wen may launch a counterattack. Either the forehand force is in a stalemate, or the forehand line suddenly changes. As a result, Murray may lose his advantage or even fall into passivity.

Straight line, surfing the Internet, and seizing this opportunity.

Although Gawain was already alert, Murray still took the lead. At this time, it can once again be seen that the game between these two players permeates every aspect of the game.

Before he could blink, Murray was already rushing towards the net, and the entire pressure poured down like a mountain.

Here, Gawain starts.

Even though his intuition had caught the anomaly, in the final analysis Gao Wen was still passive, and was then pushed into the abyss again by Murray's tactical changes.

Kick off the ground, sprint across the field.

Gawain's speed has reached its peak, and he is fixated on the tennis ball.

Murray's forehand did not exert any force. In order to change the line, he controlled the line and landing point. He closed the entire shot and used the landing point to tear the entire court, and finally formed pressure, combined with the net tactics, one ring and one ring. In the first step, the real pursuit is not to score in a straight line with the forehand, but to hit the net and volley on the next shot to form a winning point.

As a result, the tennis ball landed within the large triangle area of ​​Gawain's backhand baseline. It didn't get into a dead corner but it was not far away. You can feel it from the flying speed. It didn't attach too much force, and the rebound after landing was not too high. The space left for Gawain to bat is limited, very, very limited.

crisis!

Crisis, crisis, crisis!

In the calculation and layout, Murray had the upper hand at this point, but Gawain's keen prediction still gave him a glimmer of hope.

Kick, kick, kick, the strength of the calf muscles exploded, pushing his body into the wind, and all the colorful colors in the world turned into a ball of light and shadow, sucking Gawain into it.

Running, sprinting, forgetting everything, the blood is burning.
