Chapter 1681 Living up to Expectations

Bang, bang, bang!

Applause, thunder.

Boom, boom boom boom!

The heat wave is rolling.

Center Court went crazy. There were no shouts, no screams, no whistles, just applause. However, the action of palms colliding with palms exploded with incredible energy, spreading from the inside to the outside, and then raging from Murray Hill towards the Center Court again. Finally came a storm.

Gawain, the first to appear.

Federer follows closely behind.

The whole audience is ready, the applause is rising steadily, reaching one peak after another, and you can feel the madness just by being at the scene.

The two players saluted towards the royal box and then officially began preparations for the game.

The Queen is present.

It seems different, but in fact it doesn't seem that different. After all, the 15,000 spectators in the venue are so crowded and crowded, like a vast ocean, that it is difficult to notice a drop of water in it. Federer and Gawain exchanged a glance, and the two people understood each other tacitly. The corners of his mouth raised on the ground.

However, it would also be a lie to say something completely different.

The tension and excitement, anticipation and anxiety that fill the air are still different after all——

This is the Central Court of the All England Club, the origin of modern tennis, and the gazes of the Queen and superstars. Even if the two players can remain calm, the audience becomes restless, and the excitement in the air becomes more and more boiling. .

Changes, quietly, melt into the air bit by bit, changing the game unconsciously, and the secretion of adrenaline quietly ignites the blood.

Therefore, when the game really kicked off, the difference could still be clearly felt.

Whether it’s Gawain or Federer, they all know what this game means——

It is not just as simple as competing for a spot in the Wimbledon finals, but it also carries many, many weights, including the weight of "the ultimate challenge in the era of giants."

At the beginning, the pressure swept across the entire venue like rolling thunder, silent but roaring.

In the first game, Federer served.

"0:40".

"Wow! Since the first round in Halle, Federer has only been broken in one service game, but when facing Gauvin in the semi-finals, he faced a crisis in the first service game and encountered three consecutive break points. Everything was on point. It implies that today's game will be different for both players."

"pretty!"

"Gawain played well, but Federer's counterattack was even better."

"The game has only started for three minutes, and the two players have already dedicated a wonderful confrontation of 16 shots. The transition between offense and defense is really outstanding."

"Federer relied on his unparalleled touch in front of the net to replay the small ball to win the point and save the break point."

Then, Federer saved three consecutive break points and secured serve in a thrilling manner.

As soon as the match started, Federer already clenched his fists and roared, cheering for himself.

"Wonderful!"

"Excellent! Judging from the first game, Gao Wen's tactical intention is very determined. He knows that Federer's offensive touch at Wimbledon this year is very good. It is difficult to stop Federer just relying on defense. Look at Simon's last game. You know it, so his offense is very determined.”

"Sampras should have formulated a detailed strategy for Gawain in this regard."

"But Federer's response was also very good. The transition from defense to offense was handled extremely smoothly. The delicate touch in front of the net twice made Gawain helpless. In the opening stage, he had already forced the king of grass to be in his strongest state. Federer’s understanding of grass is truly unmatched.”

In the second game, Gao Wen served.

"0:40".

"Incredible. Wow, incredible!"

Even the well-informed McEnroe was stunned. The excitement of this semi-final completely exceeded expectations, and the opening stage was already a climax.

On the front foot, Gao Wencai made waves in Federer's serve.

On the back foot, Federer launched a counterattack on Gawain's serve.

"Federer's offensive touch is really outstanding. The connection and change of the entire rhythm, the understanding of spin and bounce, let us see the peak state again. Federer's state at Wimbledon this year is indeed getting better every game, step by step. Approaching your peak one step at a time.”

"In the opening stage, Gao Wen already felt the tremendous pressure of serving."

"Obviously, Federer watched the last match between Murray and Gauvin. Even on the first serve today, Federer's connection was very aggressive. Now it's time to test Gauvin."

"Wow!"

"God, wow!"

"What did we just see?"

"While running at high speed, Gawain hit the line with a forehand straight shot to win. In an absolutely passive and embarrassing situation, he turned the situation around and made Federer's attack that he was determined to win in vain. Unbelievable, high Wen also saved the break point with a stronger performance.”

"God, the straight line of this volley forehand is really mind-numbing, and Gawain is also in perfect condition."

Then, Gao Wen also saved three consecutive break points and secured serve in a thrilling manner.

crazy.

The entire center court went crazy.

Less than ten minutes into the game, the two players stepped on the accelerator. It was comparable to an F1 race, soaring from zero to 300 kilometers per hour. The hunting wind blew in their faces, making their hair stand on end and their scalp numb. Tension and excitement, climbing directly to the top without wasting any time.

"salute!"

"Stand and salute!"

"Federer's tactical intention of grabbing the serve is very clear. From the first serve of Gao Wen, he exerts huge pressure, which is obviously a reference to Murray's tactics; and the execution is very good. Federer's return of serve is often a flash of inspiration, which is difficult to predict. Elusive and easily capable of tipping the balance.”

"Federer's tactics show strength and he must be aggressive from the first touch of the ball."

"However."

"Gao Wen's response is equally wonderful. This 19-year-old player can write brilliance in the Grand Slam arena. He has won six games against the Big Four in the Grand Slam so far. He is by no means in vain. He is in crisis. The handling and response to the situation have already reached the level of a giant."

"Dare to change lines, dare to take shots, dare to take risks, and most importantly, dare to break the frame. We can see that Gao Wen in this year's Melbourne Park finals is calm and calm in every change. He still finds the first line smoothly in the face of Federer who is full of firepower. Survival, escaped three break points.”

"nice!"

“It’s really beautiful!”

"Even though we all expected that this semi-final would be Mars hitting the Earth, when we actually saw it with our own eyes, we still couldn't help but sigh."

It has just started and it has already rushed directly to the highest peak. The audience did not even have time to fasten their seat belts and had already begun to experience the excitement of the roller coaster.

The heart is almost about to burst.

This is the pinnacle battle that they have been looking forward to -

After two games, countless netizens on social networks began to swipe the screen.

"An early final."

Of course, no one has forgotten Djokovic, who was the first to reach the final, but there is no disrespect to Djokovic. The various factors of the collision in front of him are really fascinating, and all the attention of the world is focused on it.

On the court, Federer and Gauvin have taken off their burdens and devoted themselves to the game. Both players are fully prepared for this game.

The goal is to win.

Sure enough, it lived up to expectations.
