Chapter 372: Entering the Finals
Andy is one of the best players in the UK in recent years, and although he has yet to win a Grand Slam title so far, his strength should not be underestimated, considering that last year, Andy had risen to the second place in the world rankings.
This is enough to show that Andy has the strength to impact the championship.
Goldwind also studied Andy and found that this person is a defensive master, and his defensive level on the baseline is extremely high, but why hasn't he won a Grand Slam championship until now? The main reason is that he relies too much on his own footwork, the quality of the ball back when defending is not very high, and Andy's ability to take chances is slightly worse in critical moments.
The two faced each other for the first time.
"Who does Tong Xin think will win?" Zhang Sheng asked Tong Xin.
"It's a very difficult question to answer, and from the bottom of my heart, of course I hope that Goldwind can win, but Andy is not so easy to beat." Tong Xin is still very sensible, Jin Feng can reach the semi-finals, which is already very strong, and the championship is not a matter of urgency.
But for Goldwind, the championship must be obtained, so he must break through in this semi-final.
Andy took the lead in serving, Andy's service error rate is very high, and there is no way to compare with Jinfeng, this is because Andy pursues the angle and landing point too much, of course, if the serve is good, it is also very threatening.
No, Andy's ball came directly, and Jin Feng immediately pounced, still a step slower, and this ball was directly served to score.
"Andy is in good shape today." Zhang Sheng saw that Andy had sent three good balls in a row, and these three balls made Jin Feng scramble.
Jinfeng is not in a hurry, the tennis game is not achieved overnight, as long as you take it slowly.
Andy's serve game was very good, and he took it easily.
The following is Jin Feng's service game, and Jin Feng also used his own strong serve to completely cover the opponent's momentum.
In the first four games, the two men held their own serves, but neither of them took advantage of the opponent's serve.
It was Andy's serve again, and Andy had no good luck this time, and the ball was sent directly out of bounds.
Jin Feng smiled, his chance had come, Andy's mistake.
Second shot, still a mistake, Andy shook his head, and luck began to fade away.
Another serve, this time Andy was much more conservative, the ball was served, and Jin Feng received it very comfortably.
Andy's characteristic is that he has a super strong backhand, so Goldwind must avoid giving Andy a good backhand.
Mobilization, Jin Feng kept mobilizing opponents, but Andy was very tenacious, kept running, and desperately saved the ball.
It's a pity that in the end, he was still caught by Jinfeng, a volley in front of the net, and got a point.
"In this round, the two guys played very well, and that's what two people should do." In this game, Jinfeng let Zhang Sheng see the hope of victory.
Later, Andy's serve was getting worse and worse, and Jin Feng seized many opportunities and soon broke successfully.
On his own serve, Jin Feng continued to suppress the opponent and temporarily led 4-2.
Andy adjusted slightly, and in the seventh game, Andy kept his serve.
But Andy didn't have the slightest way to break Jin Feng's serve, because Jin Feng's performance was so good that he didn't have the slightest chance.
In the first set, Jin Feng won the first set 6-3.
"It was a great match, it was played to this extent in the first set, and we'll look at the second set later."
Jin Feng figured out Andy's routine, and in the second set, he easily crushed the opponent, only allowing the opponent to get one point, and the rest was all he won.
The third set was a crucial one, and if Andy lost again, he would go home.
"It's the most crucial game, let's take a look at the game between the two sides." Zhang Sheng also felt a trace of nervousness, Chinese players, both men and women, have not reached the finals of a Grand Slam, and doubles matches are not counted.
If Goldwind can kill the opponent in this set, then Goldwind will smoothly reach the finals.
In the third set, Andy burst out with unparalleled strength, and his one-serve rate actually increased a lot, and the golden wind was too annoying.
The score between the two sides was very close, and it actually reached 6-6.
"Grab seven, we're lucky enough to see the big battle of seven ties." The game was fierce to the point of tie-breaking.
When the score of the two sides comes to 6-6, it will enter the tie-break, and whoever gets seven points first will win the set, of course, there is a primary premise that the opponent must be more than two points ahead of the opponent.
Jin Feng took the lead in serving, and his serve power has always been very large, directly an ace ball, killing the opponent.
"Beautiful, serve straight to score." Zhang Sheng is not too nervous now, after all, Goldwind is in the lead.
The next two balls will be served by Andy.
Andy's serve was also very threatening, and without the slightest hesitation, he scored two points in quick succession.
"It's one to two, Andy is leading at the moment, and below is Jinfeng getting the serve."
Jin Feng's two serves were also in hand, three to two, and Jin Feng once again overtook him.
In fact, in any case, only by breaking the opponent's serve can you win.
So now it's up to who breaks the opponent's serve first.
The scores of the two sides have been stalemate.
All the way to six to five.
"This is the match point for Goldwind, if Goldwind succeeds in the break, he will reach the final, and if he fails, the two sides will continue." Zhang Sheng felt a little nervous, because it was related to the outcome of this game.
Andy also felt a little nervous, he shot very powerfully, but unfortunately he didn't grasp the landing point well, and he actually sent it out of bounds.
"With one miss, Andy's pressure increased."
The second serve is resolutely not allowed to make mistakes, otherwise, Andy will send Jin Feng to the final.
Inside corner kick is taken.
This time, instead of volleying the ball, Jinfeng used a cutting ball and sent it to the net.
Andy immediately ran to the net and shot back.
Jin Feng waited here, and it was another riposte, and the ball was hit deeper, allowing Andy to turn around and chase the ball.
Andy had no choice but to turn around, and when the ball was just hit, Goldwind was another chipping ball.
Again, Golden Wind put a backcourt ball.
Andy's response this time was very reluctant, the tennis ball was soft, and it was intercepted by the net belt halfway, and the ball did not go over the net.
"In the final, Jin Feng made it to the final, oh my God, it's amazing." Zhang Sheng stood up abruptly and shouted.
The audience was also boiling, a wild card player, the first time he participated in the Australian Open, actually reached the final, what a miracle.
