Match Point - Chapter 1374 have equal shares

1374 Evenly divided

Like Berdych, Tsonga has only entered the Grand Slam final once in his entire career:

Berdych was at Wimbledon in 2010 and Tsonga was at the 2008 Australian Open.

This is obviously not normal.

Even if they didn't reach the top of the Grand Slam championship, at least, judging from their abilities, they should have more than one final experience. Even Kevin Anderson has reached the finals at Wimbledon and the US Open, a total of two , Berdych and Tsonga two masters but only once?

What binds Berdych is psychology, and he can't break through his inner demons at critical moments.

What tied Tsonga was injuries.

Similar to del Potro, this talented player who already has the physical and mental qualities to write brilliantly, was bound by injuries to move forward.

Every time when Tsonga reached his peak state, injuries became obstacles, knee injuries, back injuries, shoulder injuries, etc., interrupted the continuation of the state.

Moreover, this is not all, to be more precise, it is not only the injury, but the body—

Tsonga's playing style is somewhat similar to Tim's, relying very much on the body, and physical support is the basis for their entire game.

Once there is an abnormality in the body, it does not even need to be an injury, it may just be some fatigue, some minor colds, etc., the quality of the game will decline. It is conceivable that during the two weeks of the Grand Slam, the body must maintain At the peak state, the difficulty is very high, which limits the performance.

One piece of data can explain:

Since turning professional in 2004, Tsonga has only entered the final set 17 times in best-of-five matches.

Record, eleven wins and six losses.

So, if it does make it to the final set, is Tsonga incapable of beating his opponent?

Obviously not.

The point is whether the body can support Tsonga to enter the five-set battle. Often before the game enters the fifth set, Tsonga has already ended the game—

It doesn't matter whether you win or lose.

Not to mention, at the beginning of this year, Tsonga had no choice but to withdraw from the Australian Open at the last moment due to injury, and almost missed the entire spring season, and did not come back until Miami.

Throughout the clay court season, Tsonga has been slowly finding the touch of returning from injury, with ups and downs, ups and downs, and finally came to Roland Garros with five wins and four losses.

Although Tsonga is not good at clay, as a Grand Slam held in his home country, he has always hoped to make a breakthrough on this court; and, like Dimitrov, as a player who grew up on clay, Even if your playing style doesn't perfectly fit the clay court, it doesn't mean you don't know everything.

Tsonga has done well at Roland Garros for the past three years.

In 2012, in the quarterfinals, he wasted four match points and lost to Djokovic.

In 2013, the semi-finals, defeated Federer to advance to the semi-finals but lost to Ferrer abnormally.

In 2014, in the top sixteen, he lost to Djokovic again.

From the above data, it can be seen that in the past few years, Tsonga is indeed in the golden period of his career, with a perfect combination of ability and experience.

Unfortunately, injuries are still a problem. Because of injuries, problems often occur in the second half of the season, and then they have to go into rest. Therefore, we have not been able to usher in more breakthroughs, and this year is no exception , Interrupted by injuries, once again played the role of unknown.

When he arrived at Roland Garros, Tsonga gave up his expectations and went low-key to minimize the pressure as much as possible.

However, the signing luck was good.

They didn't meet any real masters in the first three rounds, and advanced to the fourth round smoothly. They returned to the top sixteen with almost no challenges.

Of course, a master is a master, talent, experience, and ability are there. As long as his body does not slow him down, Tsonga has the ability to beat any player. When he enters the state and goes crazy, even on clay, it is the same. The superman mode of gods blocking and killing gods and Buddhas blocking and killing Buddhas.

As the game progressed round after round, Tsonga slowly played out, his confidence and touch gradually returned, and then he recovered his magic.

The expectations of local audiences are naturally rising.

Against Gao Wen, in the eyes of professionals, this is a touchstone—

That's true for both players.

Check to see if the current state and ability of the two players can withstand the test, whether they can go further, and create more waves in the follow-up games.

The game lived up to expectations.

In the first set, Tsonga fired with all his firepower, unreasonably and violently attacking, with strength and focus, and it really didn't give Gawain much room to fight back.

In the second set, Tsonga's offensive state declined slightly. Gao Wen seized the opportunity to turn the situation around, and the defensive attack opened fire in an all-round way, forcing the opponent to be suppressed.

The first two sets were evenly divided.

In the third set, Tsonga and Gao Wen both started to deal with each other, and the competition became fierce. Gao Wen, who gradually grasped the context of the game, had a slight upper hand, but Tsonga's violent attack still fought his way out in the storm. There was a stalemate all the way, and finally relied on the tiebreaker to win.

Next, Gao Wen played a perfect tie-break. Both offensive and defensive ends speeded up. From layout to execution, from planning to response, everything was impeccable. Although Tsonga also performed well, Gao Wen was absolutely outstanding. Dust directly widened the gap, scored seven points in a row, and shaved Tsonga's bald head.

"7:0".

Gao Wen once again surpassed the score by a big margin.

Everything, deja vu.

It can't help but remind people of Gao Wen's match against Tim in the second round. He also lost one set and then won two sets in a row. It was also a tie-break victory in the third set.

All contexts, all directions, all are very familiar.

Could it be that Gao Wen will destroy Tsonga in one go and win the fourth set?

However, Tsonga said no.

Tsonga refused to surrender~www.novelbuddy.com~Amidst the cheers and cheers from the home audience, he firmly grasped the advantage of serving first in this set and continued to exert pressure—

When Tsonga took the lead at "5:4" and "6:5" respectively, he got three discontinuous counts in Gao Wen's unavoidable serve.

However, under desperation, Gao Wen once again showed his big heart, saved the set points consecutively with an unparalleled performance, and dragged the game into the tiebreaker.

For the second consecutive set, the game will be decided by a tie-break. This time, Tsonga's concentration is high, and the whole game is more delicate and bolder.

After the "3:3" draw and exchange of venues, Tsonga made a sudden effort—

First, he used a violent forehand to break one of Gao Wen's serve points in a straight line, and then he performed strongly to keep his two serve points in a row, winning three points in a row.

"6:3", Tsonga got the inventory again; and, this time was slightly different, three consecutive inventory, the opportunity was firmly in Tsonga's hands.

but!

Never underestimate Gao Wen, as long as this game, this round, this point is not over, Gao Wen's high fighting spirit will never be extinguished.

Under heavy pressure, Gao Wen kept his two serve points in a row, and after saving two set points again, he put the pressure on Tsonga again.

Thus, the scene just now appeared—

In the fifth inventory, Tsonga performed so strongly, but was still shocked by Gao Wen's high-quality defense, and after finally fulfilling the inventory, Tsonga released his emotions without reservation, as if Tarzan is average.

The domineering roar hovered over the Philippe Chartier stadium, bursting into billowing air waves. Previous Chapter Contents Bookmarks Next Chapter
