Chapter 291 Federer's Slow Heat (four more)

On the tennis court behind the hotel, Zhang Guan is testing the effect of using a tennis racket.

"Sure enough, it is similar to what I expected. Equipped with a tennis racket, from serving to catching, as long as the racket is used, it has been improved in all aspects." Zhang Guan stopped, and estimated the results of the test in his mind.

"In terms of accuracy, at least 10% to 15% has been improved. This kind of improvement can determine the outcome. In the past, it was not easy to control the landing point of many difficult balls. Now we can control the ball's landing point. Much easier."

"In addition, there is also spin. Whether it is topspin or side spin, it feels easier than before. You can achieve the previous spin effect with less force. If you exert more force, the spin will be better than before. more intense."

"This racket can bring me so much ability improvement. It seems that the tennis shoes in the system are also necessary to buy." Zhang Guan found the shoe column in the system mall and bought a pair of all-terrain tennis shoe.

In tennis, active running is the key to success. According to data analysis, 50% of tennis success depends on running. And if you want to run better, tennis shoes are definitely essential equipment.

The rubber on the front of the tennis shoes is relatively full, and the two sides have a longer extension, which is conducive to the sudden stop of the athlete; while the sides of the forefoot of the sneaker are often thicker, which is to make the athlete more stable when moving laterally. Effective way to slip; the second half of the tennis shoe is relatively small, which allows the player to retreat more quickly and cleverly.

In reality, the soles of tennis shoes are designed differently depending on the venue. Grass courts should choose soles with prominent rubber lines, and sandy courts should choose soles with wide grooves. Hard courts are most used. Smooth sole with fine herringbone tread. Of course, if you are not very professional, you can also use comprehensive function soles, which can better adapt to all types of venues.

The tennis shoes in the system are not that complicated. Equipping a pair of tennis shoes in the system can improve Zhang Guan's mobility. Zhang Guan's original mobility is very good, but now that he is equipped with tennis shoes, it is even more powerful.

"With a racket and a pair of sneakers, my strength has increased by nearly 20%. This way, the odds of winning against Federer will be higher. Tomorrow's match, as long as the luck is not too bad, I should be able to win!" Zhang Guan carefully After thinking about it, he shook his head again. He removed all the equipped rackets and sneakers from the system and temporarily put them in the inventory.

"It's better not to equip the racket and sneakers for now. After all, it's the final of the Grand Slam, and the opponent is Federer. It's better not to show all the cards."

...

On January 28th, which is also the 14th match day of the Australian Open, at 4:30 in the afternoon, the main venue of the Australian Open, Rod Laver Stadium, ushered in the last match of this Australian Open, which was also the finale. Competition - men's singles final, against the No. 1 seed defending champion Federer and unseeded player Zhang Guan.

This game, which was regarded by the media and the public as having no suspense, still attracted a lot of spectators, especially there were many Chinese spectators in Australia, and they even rushed to Melbourne from all over Australia to cheer for Zhang Guan.

In China, the CCTV Sports Channel, which is in charge of broadcasting the game, also started a special program of the Australian Open as early as an hour and a half, showing highlights of Zhang Guan's promotion process. The host and Director Su seemed to be talking to each other. The crosstalk was mediocre, and he talked on and on for more than an hour.

In Australia, the focus of broadcasters is entirely on Federer.

"Federer has won nine Grand Slam trophies, and today he will hit his tenth Grand Slam trophy. It is incredible, you know Federer is only 26 years old this year, it seems that he is very promising to hit San Plath's fourteen Grand Slam titles are a world record!"

"That's right, and because Nadal stopped in the quarter-finals, Federer continued to secure his position as the number one in the world. There are 2,000 ATP points in the final of the Grand Slam. But even if Nadal enters the final, it is unlikely that he will overtake Federer. Be the first in ATP points, after all, the difference between the two is close to 4000 points!"

"What is Federer's current ATP points? Is it over 8000?"

"Well, let me see, if Federer wins the championship today, he will continue to rank first in the world with 8,120 points. If he loses, his points will be 7,320, which is also ranked first in the world! After all Nadal, who ranks second in the world, only has more than 4,000 points."

"In this way, the runner-up of the Grand Slam can get 1,200 points, Zhang Guan should not have a single point! If he gets the 1,200 points for the runner-up, where will he be ranked?"

"Probably No. 22! If Zhang Guan wins the championship, 2,000 points will be enough for him to enter the top ten in the world. Yes, it happens to be No. 10!"

"The first time he entered the ATP world rankings, he was able to enter the top ten. It should be history! However, Zhang Guan's opponent is Federer, so it is almost impossible for Zhang Guan to win. But if he is ranked 22 in the world, he is still A history has been created! The 1,200 points for the Grand Slam runner-up is already more than the ATP 1,000 championship points. After all, in the ATP 1,000 event, the champion only has 1,000 points, which is 200 points less than the Grand Slam runner-up. Zhang Guan It should be enough."

Finally, the sponsor representatives finished their speeches before the final, and the men's singles final is about to begin.

"Friends in the audience, what you are watching is the final of the men's singles event of the 2007 Australian Open. The defending champion, the No. 1 seed Federer, will face the unseeded player Zhang Guan. It is worth mentioning that this is Zhang Guan's first Once he participated in a professional tennis match, he participated through a wild card, and he became the first wild card to participate in the Australian Open but reached the final. Now the first game between the two sides has begun, and Federer will serve first!"

"Sometimes Federer is slow to warm up. I don't know how he is doing today." Zhang Guan was ready to catch the ball, but with the referee's "OUT", Federer made a mistake.

Immediately following the second serve, Federer used a signature topspin serve. Federer's topspin serve has a very precise landing point, and the bounce angle is very flat. Coupled with the strong topspin, it is also very difficult for the receiver.

But the ball speed of this kind of ball is not fast. If the opponent is a baseline player with good mobility, the power of Federer's topspin serve will be greatly reduced. Take Nadal, for example, who uses a bottom-line defensive style of play, and Nadal is the most mobile among professional players, so Federer's topspin serve poses very limited threats to Nadal.

Zhang Guan's mobility is not inferior to that of Nadal, and at the beginning of the game, Zhang Guan also chose the baseline style of play, so Federer's topspin serve hardly poses a threat to Zhang Guan. Then the two only held each other for three shots, and Federer made a mistake and hit the ball out of bounds.

For the first ball of both sides, in Federer's serve, Zhang Guan took the lead temporarily.

"Federer's state seems to be average, is it a slow start again? It seems that I have a chance to break serve in the first game!"
