Chapter 281 The World's Strongest Second Shot

In front of the TV, Federer is also paying attention to this game, because the winner of this game will be Federer's next opponent.

Although the media has been hyping Zhang Guan and Gonzalez, whoever advances can only get a runner-up in the end. Federer has actually already set the Australian Open champion by default, but the tennis king dare not take it lightly. Federer even felt that it would be okay if the opponent was Gonzalez, but if the opponent was Zhang Guan, he might encounter some troubles. Gonzalez has been playing professional tennis for eight years. Federer is quite familiar with Gonzalez’s technical characteristics, but Federer’s understanding of Zhang Guan is very limited. The only information Federer can collect about Zhang Guan is Videos of previous rounds.

From the first round, Zhang Guan will display a different weapon in each game, heavy artillery serve, fast movement ability, high spin return, net play, 100% success in challenging Hawkeye, bottom line attack Style of play...Federer even felt that Zhang Guan had other secret weapons that he hadn't revealed yet.

At this time, the TV showed that Zhang Guan's second shot speed reached an astonishing 204 kilometers.

"The second serve with a speed of 204 kilometers per hour!" Federer was taken aback, but then he immediately said: "Zhang Guan is really hardworking, but Zhang Guan's shot is very clever, he used reverse thinking. In the case of a mistake in the first serve, Gonzalez will definitely think that Zhang Guan's second serve will be relatively slow, and Zhang Guan took advantage of Gonzalez's mentality to grab a fast serve, but this kind of ball should only Use it once, and the next time Gonzalez is on guard, Zhang Guan's style of play will not work."

As soon as Federer finished speaking, he heard the referee's "OUT" shout from the TV.

"Huh? Zhang Guan went out of bounds again!" Federer's girlfriend Mirka said.

"Zhang Guan's serve is not very stable today! The angle he chose for this shot is too extreme!" Federer shook his head, and continued: "Zhang Guan was influenced by Gonzalez. Gonzalez's He performed well in the first two serving games, and scored several times with aces and servings. Zhang Guan is also very good at serving high-speed balls. He definitely wants to regain his position by serving. But because of this, he made a wrong serve, which is not worth the loss. Now, he might as well have served to the net just now, it’s better than making a wrong serve now.”

"Do you think Zhang Guan will serve another fastball? Just like the one just now." Mirka asked.

"Of course not. After the last goal, Gonzalez has already taken precautions, and the 204-kilometer second serve just now was also due to Zhang Guan's good luck. His luck cannot continue to be good. I think this time, he may be more conservative, and Zhang Guan is still a good choice if he serves to the volley." Federer nodded while talking.

Then, the line referee shouted from the TV: "ACE!"

At the same time, the broadcast camera also gave a big close-up of the ball speed display board, and there was another number starting with "2" on it.

"The speed is 201 kilometers per hour!" Federer suddenly felt a burning sensation on his face.

...

"You were lucky for the second serve of the last ball, but you didn't have such good luck this time!" Gonzalez was thinking, when a yellow shadow flashed in front of Gonzalez's eyes again, it was a tennis ball. , landed on the ground and popped out of bounds.

Gonzalez still didn't move, he was stunned on the spot, because he felt that this scene seemed familiar, and it wasn't until the referee shouted "ACE" that Gonzalez came back to his senses.

"It's impossible! The second serve is so fast!" Gonzalez turned his head to look at the ball speed display board, and saw the number "201" on it.

"Another second shot with a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour!" Gonzalez felt a little bad. If the occasional second shot with a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour can be explained by luck or coincidence, but two consecutive speeds exceeded 200 kilometers per hour. For the 200km second run, the possibility of luck or coincidence is relatively low.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! 201 kilometers, another second serve with a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour! Although Zhang Guan missed two consecutive first shots, he brought us two second shots with a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour! If If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that someone could achieve two consecutive second serve speeds exceeding 200 kilometers! In the case of a mistake in the first serve, Zhang Guan was able to serve such a fast ball. He deserves to be the world champion! Zhang Guan’s The psychological quality is really too strong!" The commentator's voice became louder and louder.

Federer in front of the TV took a deep breath, looked at Zhang Guan who was about to serve the third serve, and muttered to himself: "I thought Gonzalez's second serve would be enough, but Zhang Guan's The second serve was harder than Gonzalez."

"Yes, and the success rate of the second serve is much higher than that of Gonzalez, at least there are no double faults!" Mirka said from the side.

Federer frowned suddenly, Mirka's words hit what Federer was most worried about. Although it is not common for players to hit the second serve very hard, there are still a few professional players. However, Zhang Guan is the only player with such a high accuracy while working hard on the second serve. Of course, he has retired. King Sampras was not counted by Federer.

The level of a player's second serve is directly related to the probability of the player being broken. Players with poorer second serve skills are more likely to be broken by their opponents. It is very difficult for a player who can maintain a relatively high level of second serve to be broken.

"If Zhang Guan has been able to maintain this level of serve, even I am unlikely to break his serve! However, the men's singles match is very long, and the Grand Slam is a long-term decisive victory. It is impossible for players to maintain This kind of serve, the physical fitness will not last, I thought about it, Zhang Guan and Gonzalez’s serving rhythm will definitely slow down.” Federer continued to watch the game, and Zhang Guan appeared on TV again One miss.

"Oh, Zhang Guan missed his first serve three times in a row! He seems to be unable to find his serve." The commentator's voice sounded.

Zhang Guan shook his shoulders, and made three consecutive mistakes in one serve, which he did not expect. At this time, he couldn't help but start to self-examine.

"The serve these few times was too unrestrained, and the angle was not well controlled. This kind of serve that requires both speed and angle is indeed a bit difficult. It seems that you can't have both, good speed and good angle. Serving still requires some luck. Let’s try to be more steady in the next serve!”

Zhang Guan is preparing for the third second serve, and the audience is waiting and watching.

"Whoosh!" The speed this time was not as fast as the previous two shots. Zhang Guan obviously wanted to be safe, but even so, the speed of this shot reached 192 kilometers, which was much faster than the second serve of ordinary players. .

Gonzalez was more prepared to catch the ball than before, and the ball was not as fast as the previous two, so Gonzalez caught the ball and returned the ball with a backhand over the net.

Zhang Guan rushed forward and cut a small ball with his backhand. This was obviously unexpected by Gonzalez. Gonzalez had already run in the wrong direction. When he was about to catch the ball forward, It's too late.

The score came to 40-0, and Zhang Guan got the game point.

"Although Zhang Guan's second serve did not exceed 200 kilometers this time, the speed still reached an astonishing 192 kilometers per hour, which is almost the same as the average speed of other players' first serve. Three consecutive high-speed second serves, and the accuracy rate is 100%. Absolutely It can't be a coincidence, but real strength. Zhang Guan's serve is not only sharp in the first serve, but also the second serve is so strong! This reminds me of the former ball king Pete Sampras, his second serve is also so strong! Perhaps Zhang Guan has the hope of surpassing Sampras' second serve level and becoming the new 'world's strongest second serve'!"

Amidst the eloquent voice of the commentator, Zhang Guan ended the game with an ACE ball, and the first set was tied 2-2.

...

After four sets, the game entered a short break.

The sun in Melbourne is still bright, but Gonzalez is sitting on a chair with a very gloomy expression.

"What does Zhang Guan mean? Is he hitting me back again? I had two double faults in the last game, but in this round, Zhang Guan hit three successful second serves. He did this on purpose. Are you telling me that his second serve is better than mine!"

Gonzalez is a very grumpy person, but he also knows that it is not a good thing to bring anger into the game, so he tried to take a deep breath to calm himself down.

"The current score is 2-2. In the last four rounds, Zhang Guan and I scored points by serving. It can be said that the first four rounds were a competition of serving. I have watched Zhang Guan's game video, his net The forward style of play is very sharp and can blow Nalbandian to the ground; in addition, he is also very solid in the baseline forehand. Davydenko was defeated by Zhang Guan's baseline forehand. But in today's game, Zhang Guan is completely fighting with me to serve, he didn't use the bottom line, and he also limited his serve to the net a few times, why?" Gonzalez closed his eyes and thought silently.

The next moment, Gonzalez opened his eyes: "I understand! Zhang Guan must be very afraid of my forehand attack. He thinks that if he fights forehand, he must not be my opponent, so he is unwilling to fight me. Instead of stalemate the ball, it is a way to shorten the number of rounds of stalemate by using multiple fast serves! Oops, I almost fell into the trap!"

At this time, Gonzalez seemed to be looking for a guiding light. He thought that Zhang Guan would not dare to fight him with a forehand, and when he thought that he could use a forehand to attack Zhang Guan, Gonzalez suddenly became excited.

"That's right, I will stick to my forehand attack in the next match, and let Zhang Guan see the power of the Chilean cannon!"
