Chapter 324 The first French Open match (three more)

In the training room, Zhang Guan took advantage of the break to ask Coach Zhang about Lee Hyung-taek.

Coach Zhang said: "When I was a player, I paid attention to Li Hengze. After all, there are few people of yellow race in professional tennis. At that time, he asked me for my autograph! In general, Li Hengze They belong to the more traditional yellow race athletes."

"A more traditional athlete of the yellow race? What's that like?" Zhang Guan asked.

"It's just like me." Coach Zhang pointed to himself with a smile, and then said: "Compared with white athletes, we yellow athletes have disadvantages in physical talent, but also advantages. The advantage is that our reaction speed will be faster. The agility of the body, the coordination of the body will be better, and the ability to move feet is also very flexible. In a clay court like the French Open, it is easier to achieve good results with strong movement ability. As for the disadvantages..."

"I know, strength, explosive power and physical fitness." Zhang Guan interjected.

"It's not entirely true. In terms of strength and explosive power, yellow people and even Asians are at a disadvantage, but physical fitness is not necessarily the case. Many yellow athletes have relatively poor physical fitness, and they will be unable to do what they want when they hit the back. In addition to physical talent, More importantly, there is no high-level systematic training. After high-level systematic training, the physical fitness of Asian athletes can still be comparable to that of European and American athletes. After all, tennis is not the most intense sport in terms of confrontation In terms of physical fitness, although Lee Hyung-taek cannot be said to be very good, it is still commensurate with his world ranking."

Zhang Guan nodded, and then asked: "How about Li Hengze's skills? Are there any shortcomings?"

"A player who has played professional tennis for 12 years, even if he has any shortcomings in technology, he must make up for it through training. In my impression, he should be considered fair in terms of technology, but there is nothing worthwhile. The compliments are relatively mediocre overall." Coach Zhang laughed as he said, "Actually, I was quite satisfied when I met Lee Hyung-taek in the first round. His world ranking is 42nd, which is not high. It's not too low, just to test our new style of play. You can use him as a testing stone!"

Coach Zhang is obviously very confident in the new "running and attacking method". He didn't even give Zhang Guan much pre-match guidance. This kind of play with full offensive and defensive transitions, the core of the tactics is to seize the initiative and then drag the opponent's nose. Facing an athlete of Lee Hyung-taek's level, Coach Zhang feels that there is no need for too special tactical guidance at all.

...

On May 27, which is also the last Sunday in May, the French Open officially kicked off.

There was no Zhang Guan game on the first match day, but the weather forecast brought bad news that there would be rain during the day. The fact is the same, the daytime game was disturbed by the rain, but fortunately Davydenko, Serena Williams and several other big-name players all finished the game smoothly.

In tennis matches, both hard and grass courts, the court will become very slippery when it rains, and athletes are prone to slip and get injured. The referee will often stop the game. As long as the rainfall does not exceed 5mm on the clay court, the game can be played Continued.

When the rainfall is less than 5 mm, the red soil will be relatively moist, and the hardness of the ground will increase slightly while the viscosity increases, but it is easy to cause some small unevenness on the ground; if it rains heavily, the red soil will become It is muddy, and it is completely unsuitable to continue the game at this time.

On the second match day, this day is also the day when Zhang Guan and Lee Hyung-taek will compete. Their game is the finale of Court No. 7, and the game will not start until 5 pm Paris time at the earliest.

However, the weather was not good, the sky over Paris was overcast early in the morning, and it rained heavily shortly after the start of the game, all games had to be postponed for three hours. In the end, only seven games were completed today, of which six games were completed in the women's singles event, and only one game in the men's singles event was completed.

Sister Na's game was one of the seven finishes. Today, Sister Na got off to a slow start. She fell behind 3-5 in the first set, and was taken by her opponent. At this time, the game was suspended due to rain, and Sister Na suddenly broke out after the rain. , won the first set 7-6, and then won the second set 6-0, successfully advancing.

Because of the rain, the match between Zhang Guan and Lee Hyung-taek could only be postponed, and the matches of other big-name players such as Federer and Nadal could only be held on the third match day. It was postponed to the fourth match day.

...

After two days of continuous rain, the sky finally cleared up on the third match day of the French Open. The match between Zhang Guan and Lee Hyung-taek was also changed to the No. 6 court.

Today, Zhang Guan is wearing a red sleeveless tennis T-shirt with a pair of white shorts. Even on the clay court, it is very conspicuous at first glance.

This tennis suit was customized by the sponsor especially for Zhang Guan, and Sharapova also wore a vest with red as the main color. The sponsor obviously made a couple outfit for the two.

In Grand Slam competitions, large sponsors often choose a more uniform color tone, which is also to establish brand benefits. For example, in this year's French Open, the colors of clothing sponsored by Nike for its athletes are mainly blue, dark blue, blue-black, etc. in addition to the traditional white, so you can see that Federer and Nadal's shirts are sky blue Color is the main color. However, when it came to Zhang Guan, considering that Chinese people prefer red, the sponsor specially provided Zhang Guan with a set of red jerseys, and even Sharapova followed suit.

This match was a contest between two Asian players, which seemed not very attractive to many French audiences. From time to time, some audiences with European and American faces could be seen yawning. However, audiences from Asia, especially Chinese and Koreans, were very excited. Of course, there must be more Chinese in Paris than Koreans. In addition, Zhang Guan's reputation is far greater than that of Lee Hyung-taek, so when Zhang Guan appeared on the stage, there was a buzzing sound. There was a lot of warm applause; when Lee Hyung-taek appeared on the stage, the applause at the scene was much sparser.

"The next round is the first round of the men's singles at the French Open. The 15th seed Zhang Guan will face the unseeded Lee Hyung-taek. Both of them are players from Asia. I think for the audience from Asia, it is very important for this match. I must be very much looking forward to the game." The commentator gave a continuous introduction, and the two players on the field also completed their warm-up.

"The game started, first of all was Zhang Guan's serve! Zhang Guan showed a strong serving ability in the Australian Open. His serve is very threatening. He also sent the most ACE balls in this year's Australian Open. Player! I don’t know if Zhang Guan can continue his good touch to today’s French Open match!”

At this time, Li Hengze looked at Zhang Guan intently.

"The French Open is not the Australian Open. This is a clay court. Your fast serve will not be so powerful here! Even if your serve speed is faster, it will slow down when it hits the ground." Li Hengze was thinking. Then, I saw that Zhang Guan had already thrown the ball and swung his racket.

The next moment, the tennis ball flew over and hit the sideline.

"What a tricky angle! The landing point is so extreme! It just hit the sideline." Li Hengze thought to himself.

The speed of the ball in the French Open is relatively slow, so even some fast balls will be received by the opponent as long as they are hit correctly. To send an ACE ball, you need not only the speed of the ball, but also an extreme landing point and flying angle. .

Li Hengze's reaction was relatively quick. He immediately stretched out his hand to catch the ball, but the ball had already flown out.

"ACE! 15-0." The referee's voice sounded.

Li Hengze walked forward involuntarily, looked down at the trace of the ball falling on the sideline, and shook his head helplessly.

"It's good luck, the ball can be hit from this angle!"
