Chapter 337: 6 Hours of Fierce Battle

After the first game of the first set of the final, the two sides switched sides and it was Nadal's turn to serve.

Not surprisingly, Nadal won the second game by virtue of his service advantage.

The two sides are evenly matched, with Nadal winning in hot form and occasionally breaking out. Zhang Huasong's victory is stable, the error rate is very low, and he didn't lose a single game of service games that shouldn't have been lost.

In the next match, both sides pulled back and saw each other, both won their own service games, and neither of them was able to win their break games.

In the end, the two sides played to a 6-6 draw, and Zhang Huasong won the first set with a score of 7-6 in the tie-break.

In the second set, the two sides scored a tie-break again, and the result was that Zhang Huasong lost the second set 6-7, and the two sides were tied on aggregate.

In the third and fourth sets, both sides made mistakes and erupted, and the scores were tied at 6-4 and 5-7 respectively, and they still had to enter the deciding set.

In the deciding set, it was Zhang Huasong's turn to serve first.

Before the start of the deciding set, Zhang Huasong thought that if he kept winning his service game, he would immediately upgrade his skills if he lost one service game.

After all, if he loses one service game and another break game with a smaller chance of winning, he will lose the entire final.

Spent so much prestige to play a Grand Slam, I'm sorry for not winning the championship!

Only by winning the championship for the first time can you give the world more shock and gain more prestige.

Fortunately, Zhang Huasong did not make any big mistakes in the deciding set, and won his serve game steadily.

However, Nadal has also exerted his strength as a world No. 1 and the hot state since the start of the Australian Open, and has been entangled with Zhang Huasong.

Although Zhang Huasong played very steadily and won every service game, Nadal did not lose serve either. The two sides were entangled until the end of the 12th game of the fifth set, but they still won 6 games each, and the deciding set was tied 6-6.

This time, there will be no tie-breaks, and both sides will have to win two games to be decided.

The live TV commentators from all over the world are lamenting that this game is really evenly matched and played so anxiously.

The atmosphere of the scene is more dignified.

Zhang Huasong and Nadal's fans are so nervous that their hearts are racing. Even neutral viewers felt the outburst of emotion in this depression, nervously watching the long-game tie-off between Zhang Huasong and Nadal.

In the 13th game, Zhang Huasong's seventh service game, Zhang Huasong served. Zhang Huasong still didn't make any mistakes, and smoothly won the game with the advantage of consecutive serves, with a score of 7-6.

In the 14th game, Nadal's seventh service game, although he sent a mistake to Zhang Huasong, he also broke out with an ace good ball, so that Zhang Huasong did not even receive the ball.

In the end, Nadal also won his seventh service game smoothly, and the two sides played to a 7-7 draw.

The suffocating long-set tiebreaker continued, with both sides going back and forth, with occasional mistakes and occasional outbursts, most importantly without losing their serve.

7-7, the two sides are tied.

8-8, still a draw.

10-10, still a draw.

At 15-15, the two turned out to be tied.

The deciding set has already been played for 30 games, and this set is already equivalent to the usual three sets.

Because the first four sets were very anxious, there were two tie-breaks, and the other two sets were almost played to the end to determine the winner, which has taken more time than the usual game.

Then, in the deciding set, the two played the equivalent of the usual three sets.

The whole final was played from 9 o'clock in the morning to 15 o'clock in the afternoon, which has been 6 hours, and the two sides have not yet decided the winner.

The Australian commentator frantically commented: "This is the greatest tournament in the history of the Australian Open, there is no one! Zhang Huasong and Nadal have been battling for six hours in the final of the 2009 Australian Open, and they have not yet decided the winner. It was the longest match in the history of the Australian Open, and it was unimaginable to take place in the final! It was the most glorious day in the history of the Australian Open, and the 2009 Australian Open final will go down in history forever!"

The French commentator said: "It's amazing that today's Australian Open final was played for six hours without a winner, which is really unexpected! However, this time is not the longest time in a Grand Slam tournament! The longest time in a professional tennis Grand Slam tournament was born at our French Open." In 2004, Isner and Mahut teamed up to set the record for the longest time spent in a Grand Slam tournament at the French Open at 6 hours and 33 minutes. I don't know if Zhang Huasong and Nadal will break this record today!"

The commentator of Huaguo CCTV said excitedly and nervously: "I never expected that we would witness such a great match today, which was jointly presented by my country's athlete Zhang Huasong and Rafael Nadal, the world No. 1 tennis player. The two had been battling for six hours in the Australian Open final, but it was still a draw, and they didn't lose any of their service games, which is really amazing form and mental quality. I hope Zhang Huasong will be stable, and now he is more patient than anyone!"

Indeed, when the game comes to this point, the competition is who is more patient, who can persevere, and who has better psychological quality!

It's a bit like a penalty shootout in football.

In soccer, after the first five goals are tied, from the sixth goal, whoever makes the first mistake and is seized by the opponent will end the game.

Zhang Huasong and Nadal also made a mistake in this deciding set, and it would be very dangerous if anyone made a mistake first and lost the serve.

After playing for such a long time, and it was summer in Australia, Zhang Huasong and Nadal both sweated like a waterfall.

As the game progressed, the atmosphere in the stands became more and more solemn, the spectators felt their hearts beat faster and faster, and the commentators from all over the world roared hoarsely.

In front of the TV, there are more and more viewers, and many viewers have taken out their mobile phones to call friends to watch this Grand Slam super matchup that is destined to go down in history.

Inside the court, after Zhang Huasong and Nadal tied the game at 15-15 in the deciding set, the referee allowed the two to rest for a while to rehydrate and eat.

Actually, the referee himself has to eat something, go to the toilet or something.

The audience also took this opportunity to relieve their nervousness, go to the toilet, eat and more!

All the snacks, bread, popcorn, drinks, cokes, etc. in the stadium commissary were swept away by the audience.

As for those who didn't grab anything, they could only starve and continue to stay on the scene!

No one will leave the venue early until they see the final result!
