Chapter 286 Advancing to the final of the Australian Open

Gonzalez blew the counterattack horn, and he also acted at the same time, but this does not mean that Gonzalez's counterattack will be effective.

After all, this is Zhang Guan's serve game, the server already has the advantage, not to mention that Zhang Guan's serve level is still very good, it is considered good for ordinary players to defend Zhang Guan's serve.

Facing Zhang Guan's strong defense, Gonzalez had no choice but to attack.

Although Gonzalez is very good at attacking, if he chooses to attack in the opponent's serve, the chance of success is still not high. In this round, Gonzalez chose to attack three times, but all ended in failure. In the end, he also chose to attack. There was no serve that could break Zhang Guan.

The score came to 5-3. If Gonzalez can't keep his serve, the first set is an account.

At this moment, Gonzalez needed a timeout to think carefully, but Gonzalez couldn't wait to prove that his forehand was stronger, so he quickly started his serve, and then The two sides started a forehand competition again. After some contests, in the case of a tie, Gonzalez's own two mistakes ruined his own serve. Zhang Guan also won the two sides with a score of 6-3. The game of the first set.

...

The game finally entered the timeout, and Gonzalez slowly calmed down and began to analyze his current situation.

"It's normal for me to be unable to win Zhang Guan's serve, but my serve was actually broken by Zhang Guan! Why is this?" Gonzalez recalled the process of the first set just now and began to think.

"Zhang Guan's strength is indeed great, not only in serving, but also in connecting serves. He can compete with me in terms of strength, so my style of play, which is biased towards strength and speed, is not effective for Zhang Guan. Big threat."

"The other thing is the forehand fight! That's right, I lost in the forehand fight!" Gonzalez quickly realized the problem: "My forehand hit means that I can Maintain around 25 beats, if it exceeds 25 beats, my strength will not be able to support that kind of high-intensity hitting, the speed of the ball will drop, and there will be problems with the control of the ball. But Zhang Guan seems to be able to beat me Persist for longer, he can still maintain a high-intensity shot after 25 shots, maybe he can persist for more than 30 shots! The gap of five shots!"

Gonzalez took a deep breath. Although there was only a gap of five beats, it was always a contest between masters, and these five beats were enough to decide the outcome.

"The forehand is not Zhang Guan's opponent at all, and I can't get any advantage on the serve. What should I do?" Gonzalez was a little anxious. His two strongest weapons are serve and forehand. However, facing Zhang Guan , his two strongest spears are useless, what stops him is not a solid shield, but two sharper spears!

"What should I do? What should I do?" Gonzalez was a little flustered, because the rest between the two sets was about to end, and the second set was about to start, and Gonzalez hadn't found a way to deal with Zhang Guan. Method.

...

A close-up of the two contestants was shown on the TV.

"Gonzalez has lost!" Federer sighed.

Mirka was a little puzzled, and she said, "In a best-of-five match, the first set is only finished now. The game can only be regarded as just beginning. Why did you draw a conclusion so early?"

"Look at the expressions of the two of them. Gonzalez should be very confused now, he can't find a way to deal with Zhang Guan at all. Gonzalez has very distinctive characteristics, but at the same time his style of play is too single Yes. In the forehand match just now, Gonzalez has played his best state, but lost to Zhang Guan." Federer continued: "Look at Zhang Guan, he is very confident now, Just like when he was in track and field. Zhang Guan was originally the top athlete in the world. Although tennis is a new field for him, he has obviously found the mentality of a strong player in this new field. I think this The game is set."

"Then your opponent in the final will be Zhang Guan?" Mirka said.

Federer nodded: "Yeah, I think that might be the toughest match I've had this year."

"Why do you think so? Is it harder to deal with Zhang Guan than Nadal?" Mirka asked.

"Perhaps it is really more difficult than playing against Nadal, because I don't know Zhang Guan well." Federer took a deep breath, and then said: "The unknown opponent is always the scariest."

...

The second set between Zhang Guan and Gonzalez began.

Gonzalez continued his offensive style of play, and Zhang Guan also continued to play against Gonzalez.

1-0, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2... The scores of the two sides seemed to be very tight. After ten rounds, the score of the two sides came to a 5-5 tie. Both sides were able to keep their serve. .

In this set, Gonzalez's serve was relatively good, and his luck was also very good. In two rounds, Zhang Guan almost got a break point, but Gonzalez saved himself by serving successfully. serve.

In the eleventh inning, Zhang Guan successfully kept his serve, and the score came to 6-5. In the subsequent twelfth inning, Goddess of Luck finally did not continue to favor Gonzalez. He made a double serve error. The mistake also became the turning point of the game. After several consecutive ball stalemates, Gonzalez still lost the game and failed to take the second game to the tie-break.

"Now the total score of the two sides is 2-0. For Gonzalez, it has reached the brink of life and death. In the semi-finals of the Grand Slam level, almost no players can complete the reversal when they are 0-2 behind! The commentator looked at the information in his hand, and then said: "And Zhang Guan, if he wins this game, he will also create many history. He will become the first foreign card qualification to enter the Australian Open men's singles final He is also the second wild card player to enter the Grand Slam men's singles final after Ivanisevic; in addition, he will become the first player to enter the Grand Slam final in his first professional competition player."

In the third set of the match between the two sides, Gonzalez's state declined, especially his serve, which was much worse than the previous two games, which made him unable to maintain an advantage in the serve game, and also gave Zhang Guan Several chances to break serve. "

Zhang Guan didn't want to prolong the game too long. He continued to attack Gonzales, deliberately speeding up the game. In this kind of fast-paced game, the mistakes of both sides have increased, but when both sides make the same mistakes, the one behind will obviously be at a greater disadvantage. If the leader makes a mistake, at most it will lose the ball and points, while if the laggard makes a mistake, it means ruining the game.

The increasing number of mistakes made Gonzalez become impatient, and he became more eager for success, which in turn caused him more mistakes. Only in the third game, Gonzalez was broken by Zhang Guan, and the reason for the break was precisely because Gonzalez made two double faults.

"There is a problem with Gonzalez's mentality." Federer then commented: "The game has ended early!"
