Chapter 1809: Clean and Neat

Everything seems familiar.

From the "2:1" lead at the start to "2: behind the score, losing nine games in a row, the game completely showed a one-sided disadvantage.

Such a scene and situation looked so familiar. It was five months apart from Miami to New York, but it seemed like I was seeing the same game.

So, is this the game?

"Highest Consumption", is it going to continue its fine tradition?

……No way?

Zverev Jr., the "genius" praised by the media, including himself, also thinks highly of himself, vaguely considering himself the next world number one and the next golf king.

Result, that's it?

For ordinary viewers, they do not pay attention to tennis events all the time, and naturally they do not know Zverev’s performance in other events. All eyes are focused on the Grand Slam arena, now at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Seeing such a game, the disappointment is really hard to conceal.

But, it shouldn’t be, right?

The so-called "maximum consumption" sounds very exciting, but as long as the audience has any basic understanding of tennis, they will know that this is more like a joke.

Not to mention young geniuses like Zverev, the top 300 players in the world on tour rarely find themselves in such a predicament.

Is Zverev really that vulnerable?

the answer is negative.

Putting aside subjective likes and dislikes, objectively speaking, Zverev's talent and strength are real. Although he is not mature enough yet, his abilities are already there.

From the beginning, Gao Wen did not believe that "highest consumption" could replicate success; this has never been and will not be Gao Wen's goal in this game.

Facts prove this.

Although he lost nine games in a row, Zverev still did not give up. His pride was completely aroused, and he burst out with incredible fighting spirit and belief. He was always fighting and always dealing with the bottom line. Perhaps most of the time, the bottom line was going back and forth. He hit the ball awkwardly, but he didn't give up and refused to surrender.

Stumbling along, Zverev gritted his teeth and maintained the game.

From the perspective of tactical layout, this is unstructured and purely returns to the way of playing in the youth; but from the perspective of tactical response, this is correct. Focus on the game first and then slowly find a way to deal with it. The tenacity of the stock forms a confrontation to avoid complete disarmament.

Snapped.

As Gawain's return ball hit the net, little Zverev could no longer control himself. He clenched his fists, looked up to the sky and screamed passionately——

"1:4".

The hair guarantee was successful.

finally!

Following the third game of the first set, Zverev finally held serve again, not only ending his nine-game losing streak, but also breaking the "maximum consumption" curse.

Significant.

This is also the first time that Zverev has won three games in one set since the two players have met three times.

A breakthrough is also a feat.

It is indeed a bit unbelievable to say that over time, it even became a shackles like an inner demon, so that Zverev began to have self-doubt. Even if he got the game point in his own service game, he subconsciously began to be cautious and try to Efforts often backfire.

until now--

Zverev needed this moment and this kind of catharsis. He roared in anger as if he had won the whole game.

Frustrated, depressed, confused, trapped.

Not only in this game, but also in all the three times the two met, that mixed feeling was finally broken, as if it had been lurking under the water for a long time, and just when it was about to faint from lack of oxygen, it surfaced, and the fresh oxygen was like A storm surged into my chest.

Cheerful and comfortable.

ah!

Ahhhh!

Zverev Jr. released fully without reservation.

At this moment, when the audience who had just turned on the TV saw this scene, they probably thought that Zverev had won the game. But when they looked at the scoreboard, question marks popped up one after another, which was difficult to understand.

Arthur Ashe Stadium was very honorable, with applause and cheers surging bustling——

For neutral fans, their only wish is to watch more games and watch more exciting rounds. A one-sided game is really not worth the ticket price.

Therefore, they always support the weak unconditionally. Now that Zverev has finally stopped losing consecutive games, it can be considered good news.

On the other side of the court, Gawain was unmoved.

After returning the ball to the net, Gao Wen looked down at his steps and saw that his knee squat was still lacking, and his entire backhand swing was still not sufficient and needed attention.

Returning to the players' rest area, Gao Wen replenished water and energy step by step, and his brain began to work at high speed——

Although Gawain has no interest in "maximum consumption", it can be seen from Zverev's reaction that that label is indeed a shackles.

Now that Zverev has finally broken free of his shackles, this also means that his morale and state have been raised to a whole new level. Without the constraints of psychological pressure, his game state should reach a small peak, and his concentration and investment can also be fully improved.

Everything means that next, Zverev will be very dangerous and launch a comprehensive counterattack.

Gao Wen clearly knows Zverev's ability to deal with the bottom line. If he wants to avoid being dragged into the tangled whirlpool by Zverev, he needs to improve his condition and contain it in time. Sustain Zverev's momentum and win the second set as soon as possible.

——"40:30".

Sure enough, after returning to the game, Zverev's active mistakes began to decrease, and the quality of baseline returns also slowly improved, but Gao Wen still responded calmly.

At the first game point, the two players experienced a 25-shot round of entanglement, and finally Gao Wen won the winning point with his iconic backhand straight backhand shot.

"1:5".

Despite the impact, Gawain was still superior and once again showed his control over the game.

——"40:40".

Immediately afterwards, in Zverev's serve game, Gao Wen, who had been far ahead in this set and maintained an advantage, unexpectedly launched an offensive.

Zverev, who was showing an upward momentum after his recovery, missed a game point, but also saved three break points and became entangled again.

However, at the critical moment, Gao Wen once again showed his excellent layout and gaming ability on the bottom line.

A sneak attack released a small ball, and Zverev was mobilized to the front of the net. At the same time, he used a two-handed backhand to break through the net and get the fourth break point.

Once, it was a forehand diagonal "inside-out" attack combined with the net, relying on the high-pressure ball in front of the net to end the point, realizing the break point and taking stock.

Previously, Gao Wen had not reached the net many times in the entire game, but in this game, the confrontation in front of the net increased without warning, completely disrupting Zverev's prediction, and at the bottom line Before the tug-of-war reached a stalemate, Gawain had already taken the lead to break the deadlock.

Lift your weight with ease and control the whole scene.

Before Zverev could catch his breath, the balance of the game had been broken again, pushing Zverev into the abyss with all his might.

"1:6".

Gao Wen, in the next set, led by a big score of "2:0".
