All-round Athlete

Chapter 299 Ratings soar

At this time, Federer was a little confused. As a professional player, his own thoughts were repeatedly guessed by his opponents, which was obviously a very uncomfortable experience. This is like a battle between two armies. One side's carefully prepared tactics are constantly being seen through by the opponent. As the commander, he must be in a very bad mood.

So far, Zhang Guan has guessed Federer's intentions correctly six times. Although this number is not a lot, at most six goals will be lost. Said it was a fatal blow.

The current score is 5-4. Obviously, it has reached a critical moment. For both sides, every ball must be contested.

The score was 30-0, and Zhang Guan only needed two more goals to win the set.

Zhang Guan served again, and it was still a ball with a speed of 210 kilometers per hour. Obviously, Zhang Guan hoped for a quick decision.

If it is an ordinary player, it will definitely not be able to catch this ball, but Zhang Guan's opponent is Federer at the peak, and now Federer is extremely focused. He knows the power of Zhang Guan's serve, so he focuses all his attention on the ball. On return.

Federer successfully caught the ball.

But then, Federer fell into a passive state again. He was mobilized by Zhang Guan to run back and forth again. After six rounds, he still lost the ball.

In baseline play, it is normal for the receiver to be moved left and right by the server, and Federer has long been used to this situation. Looking at the score of 40-0, Federer sighed helplessly. In this level of competition, as long as Zhang Guan made discontinuous mistakes, it would be extremely difficult for Federer to break serve.

At this time, Zhang Guan holds three game points, which also means that Zhang Guan has six serving opportunities. In this case, even if the first serve fails, Zhang Guan dares to continue to fight for the second serve. So next, Zhang Guan chose the extreme serve method, a second serve error, and then a first serve error, and finally sent an ACE ball in the second second serve, winning the game.

"Congratulations to Zhang Guan, he won the first set with a score of 6-4!" The commentator eased his tone, and then said: "I really didn't expect that it would be Zhang Guan who won the first set! Knowing that in the pre-match predictions, everyone thought that this would be a one-sided match, and Federer might win by crushing, but what he didn't expect was that Zhang Guan was the first to win the first set. In this way, we don't have to worry about the game ending 3-0, we have at least the fourth set to watch!"

...

In the CCTV studio, the commentator and guest commentator Director Su were all in high spirits. Before the game, the foreign media were all unfavorable to Zhang Guan. Many media even believed that Zhang Guan would lose 0-3. Now Zhang Guan won the first place. The plate made the two of them feel elated.

In the director room behind, Director Du, who is in charge of the CCTV Sports Channel, is concerned about the ratings.

"There is a two-hour time difference between Melbourne and here. Five o'clock in the afternoon there is equivalent to three o'clock in the afternoon here. Although it is not the prime time for ratings like seven o'clock in the evening, today is the weekend after all, and the ratings must be higher than usual. Quite a few." Director Du looked at the information in his hand, which was the ratings statistics made just before the start of the game.

"The audience rating in the previous time period was 1.015%, which has already broken 1. This number is almost the ratings of Dayao's competition!" Director Du was still a little dissatisfied. After all, Dayao's competitions are all in the morning. The audience ratings of the show will definitely be lower than those in the afternoon. If the audience rating of 1.015% is placed in the morning, it will be about 0.8%.

"Although there is a big star like Zhang Guan, the audience's enthusiasm for tennis is far less than that of basketball. But the game has just begun, and the ratings will always increase slowly. I think the final ratings should be able to rise to About 1.5%!" Director Du silently calculated in his heart.

1% ratings is already a very high ratings for a general game, such as the NBA regular season, the ratings of the Rockets game with Dayao is around 1%, and some key games such as the Chinese Super League, the ratings The rate is about 1%. If it is a European football league with the game time in the second half of the night, the ratings in China are probably less than 0.2%.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the Grand Slam finals to have a 1% audience rating in China. After all, the audience for tennis is far less than that of basketball and football. But today's game is different, because Zhang Guan participated, so 1% The ratings are a bit low, and CCTV's internal ratings target is 1.5%, and this figure is very high during the time period from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

"The ratings statistics for this time period should be done. I don't know if it has reached 1.5%." Director Du was thinking about it when one of his subordinates came over with a form.

"Director, has the ratings been calculated for this time period?"

"Has it reached 1.5%?" Director Du asked immediately.

The other party nodded. Director Du let out a long breath, reached out to take the ratings statistics, and looked down.

"This is... 2.033%! The ratings have broken '2'!" Director Du exclaimed.

If you watch the prime time after 7:00 p.m., the ratings of some competitions can reach more than 2%, but in the games that start at 3:00 p.m., very few can reach the ratings of 2%.

"Why is it so high? The statistics in the last period just broke 1%. Why did the ratings increase so much in such a short period of time?" Director Du asked.

"It seems that Zhang Guan won the first set. Then the ratings suddenly increased significantly"

"Zhang Guan won the first set! So that's how it is." Director Du's face suddenly beamed with joy, and he said to himself: "This is the first time I won the first set, and the ratings have soared to more than 2%. If If we win another game, maybe the ratings can go up to 3%!"

For the live broadcast of the game in the afternoon, it is already a remarkable achievement to have a 2% audience rating, and if it can reach a 3% audience rating, it can be said to be an abnormal result.

Director Du, as the director of the sports channel, is very familiar with the viewing habits of domestic audiences. Domestic audiences can be roughly divided into three types. The first type is die-hard fans. This type of audience will watch no matter how the game is played. Take the national football game as an example. Even if the loss is miserable, this type of fans will persist After watching the game.

The second type of audience is the selective audience. They are used to watching the beginning of the game. If the game is played well, they will continue to watch it. If the game is not satisfactory, they will not continue to watch. It is also a national football game. If the opening game goes smoothly, this type of audience will insist on sitting in front of the TV, but if the opponent scores several goals in the first half, then this type of audience will definitely not continue to watch. The second half of the game.

The third type of audience is the audience who are used to watching tailwinds. This type of audience is often a "pseudo-sports fan". This type of audience will only watch the game when the side they support is ahead. For example, there are a large number of "false fans". Many people are afraid that they can't even tell the 11 players in the national football team. If you are interested in watching the second half of the game, otherwise you will not go to the game.

The mass base of tennis in China is not strong, and many people do not understand this sport at all, so in a short period of time, only the third type of audience has been added, that is, "pseudo-tennis fans". Tennis rules are not very clear, but after hearing that Zhang Guan led Federer 1-0, they began to pay attention to this game, or just started to pay attention to this sport. It is also true that the ratings soared rapidly in a short period of time.

"After today's game, there will probably be a lot more tennis viewers! The new viewers with 1% ratings must try to retain these new viewers." Director Du thought of this, picked up the phone Called the director room.

"Tell the studio, interspersed with the introduction of some basic rules, there are many new audiences watching this game."
