The game is really getting more and more exciting, what was originally thought to be a one-sided situation has now become a battle for the dragon, and the game is no less exciting than the Australian Open final. After sighing, the commentator began to gush about the rules of the tie-break match: "In tennis, the two sides of the game are tied 6:6 in the first twelve games of a set, so there will be a tie-break game. In a tie-break, one point is awarded for each goal won, and the first to score seven points wins, while if the score is six draws, one of the teams must win by two points. ”

The commentator is talking about the ordinary game, while the Grand Slam match is a long-set tiebreaker, and the tiebreaker between the two sides will not be a tie-break, but a two-game win after 6-6 to win.

The guest sitting next to him immediately explained: "In addition to the rules you just introduced, the serve of the tie-break game is also different from that of the ordinary game, in the tie-break, one of the parties serves one ball first, then the other side serves two balls, and the opponent serves two more balls, and so on." Under this rule, the serve becomes even more important. We all know that the serve player has an absolute advantage in tennis, and in a normal game, whoever serves will serve all the time, and it doesn't matter if you lose one or two serves once in a while, as long as you have the right to serve, you have an advantage. However, in the tie-break, the two sides serve alternately, and if anyone can break the opponent's serve, it is equivalent to holding a very huge advantage! Once broken, it is easy to lose the tie-break. ”

After finishing speaking, the guest paused and said, "And the tie-break is a test of the patience of the players." Because once there is a 6-6 situation, one of the sides has to win by two points to win, so there will be more than 7 points, such as 8:6, 9:7, 10:8, this kind of score is very common in the tie-break, and sometimes it will even be more than a dozen points to distinguish the winner, and Haas and Li Cai are very strong in their own service game, and they are evenly matched, it can be said that this tie-break will last for a long time. ”

"Will the tie-break last a long time?" the interpreter asked curiously.

"Yes, and the more you get to the back, the more important it is to win and lose each goal, and the more pressure the players are under. If you don't have enough patience and are impulsive, you may lose a whole set. Think about it, after playing for so long, if you make a mistake with a ball at the last moment, you will lose this game, and the next game will also be hit, and Li Cai has no experience in stealing seven games, so he may not be able to withstand such a big pressure, even if Li Cai is one game ahead, and Haas, as a tennis veteran for many years, will have a very stable mentality of playing seven games, and if he wins this game, he can even win and advance in one go. ”

"So, the game dragged on to a tie-break, and for Zhang Guan, it turned from a balance of power to a disadvantage?" the commentator asked.

"I can't completely say that, as far as I know, Li Cai used to be a professional Go player, has played countless international competitions, won countless championships, and his mentality has always been very calm. Although Go is far from tennis, Li Cai's mentality has long been honed, so I said that this game will last for a long time. ”

........

"It's the first time I've played a tie-break, I'm not nervous, I'm just excited! And I've figured out the limits of Haas, and when the time comes, I just need to break serve at the critical moment, which is much easier than breaking in the normal game. Li Cai aimed at Haas on the opposite side and served with a charged serve.

It was only a second before the tennis ball was in Haas's half.

"Here it is, so fast ball. Haas pounced but couldn't get the ball.

"ACE!" the referee's voice immediately rang out.

The commentator's voice suddenly rose a few points: "Ace ball, Li Cai took the lead in the tie-break and scored the first point with an ace ball." He is the youngest tennis Grand Slam player!"

The applause at the scene also lasted for a longer time, and many viewers liked to watch the tie-break, because the tie-break looked more exciting and exciting than the ordinary game. In this atmosphere, although it was only 1-0 at this time, there was already some sabre-rattling on the scene.

Haas's expression was extremely serious, although he regretted not catching Li Cai's serve, but the more he got the key ball, the more focused Haas became, which also brought his strong psychological quality into full play.

And Haas understands that consistency and experience are the keys to victory in a tie-break.

It was Haas's turn to serve, and this time he served as solid as ever, with fast ball speed, accurate landing point, and a slight topspin, which allowed the opponent to be passive from the moment he received the ball, and then was moved back and forth, and finally lost the ball.

Li Cai also fell into this passivity after receiving the serve, he was continuously mobilized by Haas's forehand paddle, but Li Cai's movement speed was relatively fast, so he could support it for a much longer time.

Soon, the score slowly alternated and became 5 draws, and it was Haas's turn to serve, and it was still safe without a single mistake.

But Lee was ready to break Haas's serve and win the tie-break.

Because Haas's adaptability is too strong, many tricks have no effect after being used once, and all Li Cai has been waiting for the opportunity, and when it is critical, he can use this trick to determine the outcome of the move.

After Haas served and Li received the serve, the two played back and forth a few times, and Li saw an opportunity to go to the net immediately, intending to counterattack.

Before Haas saw Li Cai go online, he immediately realized that the opportunity had come, although he didn't know why Li Cai chose to forcibly go online at this time, but this was a good opportunity.

Li Cai swung his racket in front of the net, hitting the tennis ball, and at the same time waving his arm, a pumping action, which brought a strong side spin to the tennis ball.

The ball then flew over the net and then flew at a slight angle to the touchline on the other side.

Haas was stunned for a moment, looking at the trajectory of the tennis ball's flight, isn't this about to go out of bounds? Could it be that Li Cai made a mistake?

After the tennis ball flies over the net, the angle of flight is very small, and the side rotation of the ball makes the trajectory of the tennis ball gradually become horizontal, almost parallel to the net. The ball was destined to fall in the front of the field, and in Haas's judgment, the ball was definitely going out of bounds.

Haas thought the ball would go out of bounds, but he still tried to run towards the point where the ball landed, after all, it would be bad if he was wrong.

However, Haas, who was running, suddenly found that the tennis ball was falling faster than he had imagined, and it should be an in-bounds ball.

The tennis ball eventually hit the ground, three centimeters into bounds, and then the ball bounced out of bounds, and at the same time, Haas made a tiger leap to save the ball and hit it back.

But Li Cai, who was waiting in front of the net, naturally made a smash and hit the court on the other side of Haas, so that Haas didn't have time to catch the ball at all.

In this way, Li broke Haas's serve game with an unexpected net and ushered in the match point of the tie-break.

Because the next ball was Li Cai's own serve, Li Cai naturally didn't give Haas a chance, easily won it, and won the tie-break in the second game.

In the third game, Li Cai naturally pressed Haas to play after thinking through Haas's methods, even if Haas played the serve game super steadily, but Li Cai's fast moving style broke a service game, won the third game 7:5, and successfully advanced.

After the game, when Li Cai shook hands with Haas, Haas smiled and said to Li Cai: "Good job, this game can be said to be my pinnacle of the game, I can feel that I am even stronger than myself ten years ago in this game, Li Cai won the Golden Slam with your current strength, it is not a problem at all, only if you are not injured, all, take care of your body, I also plan to witness the miracle you created, don't let me down!"

Li Cai smiled, looked at Haas, a veteran, and said firmly: "Of course, I will definitely get the Golden Slam, you just wait to see me get it!"

........

In the next match of the Australian Open, Li Cai easily defeated the three opponents of Laco, Fie Lopez and Berdych, and did not have to drag into the tie-break and play as hard as the match against Haas.

Of course, this is also related to Li Cai's use of card effects for Haas, otherwise with Haas's previous state, it would be almost impossible to be swept by Li Cai.

Li Cai successfully entered the semifinals, and Li Cai's opponent in the semifinals was Nadal, but Li Cai was not worried, because this is the Australian Open, Nadal's strength on the hard court is far less than on the clay court of the French Open, Li Cai is confident to easily defeat Nadal.
