Chapter 344 I want to become stronger

This is Zhang Guan's serve.

"Federer's aggressive attack! Oh, this time the attack angle is too big, the ball went out of bounds. Federer played very fiercely in this round, and the continuous attack was very oppressive! Although he did not succeed in breaking serve in the end, it was still given to Zhang. Guan put a lot of pressure on him, there were several balls, but Zhang Guan could barely defend."

This is Federer's serve.

"Federer played steadily, with no flaws at all! I didn't expect Federer to completely change his style in his serve. Instead of continuing to attack, he gradually accumulated advantages through a steady stalemate. Although Zhang Guan tried several attacks, but It didn't work out very well. Federer managed to keep his serve."

In CCTV's studio, the host's tone was faintly worried, and he said: "In the few games just now, Federer strengthened his attack in Zhang Guan's serve, which made Zhang Guan tired of coping; but Federer in the game In his own serve, he was very stable, and Zhang Guan's many attacks failed to achieve results. In the current situation, Zhang Guan is in a passive state, and both offensive and defensive ends are restrained by Federer, and he is always a little bit unable to open the situation. "

Director Su immediately said, "It seems so on the surface, but if we analyze it deeply, the situation is not like this. In Zhang Guan's serve game, although Federer attacked fiercely, he also paid for it. He has paid some price, that is, his mistakes have increased. We know that the more unrestrained his style of play, the more mistakes he will make. With Zhang Guan’s strength, he will definitely not let Federer’s mistakes go unnoticed, so we see that although Federer attacks The game was fierce, but he didn't get a break point in Zhang Guan's serve game."

"But Federer played very steadily in his own serve game!" the commentator said.

"That's because Federer is worried about losing his serve. I think Federer made this choice because he realized that Zhang Guan's attack is very sharp." Director Su smiled, and then said: "With Federer's skills, if he deliberately It is also very difficult for Zhang Guan to break serve."

"So, this game is very likely to enter the tie-break again?" the commentator asked.

"Yes!" Director Su nodded: "And now both sides look very good, I think the tie-break will be another fierce contest!"

...

the stands.

Coach Zhang Depei always had a confident smile on his face. He firmly believed that Zhang Guan would be able to win the final victory.

"Both of them are in very good form today. Especially Federer, who played very smartly. Federer should have realized that his foot movement is not as good as Zhang Guan's, so he changed his tactics. In fact, in terms of forehand, Zhang Guan His forehand topspin is even better.” Coach Zhang took a deep breath, and then thought: “It’s also thanks to the French Open. The clay court is a slow court, which is equivalent to weakening the attacker’s advantage in disguise, so as long as If you can reduce unforced errors, you can barely hold on. If this is Wimbledon, Federer may not be so comfortable now!"

Beside Coach Zhang, Sharapova looked at Zhang Guan with a nympho look. Women of the fighting nation have always been obsessed with powerful men. Zhang Guan, who is sweating on the field, is obviously very attractive to Sharapova.

The second set came to the tie-break again, but the atmosphere on the court at this time was already different from the tie-break in the first set.

Whether it is Federer or Zhang Guan, they all have an incomparable desire for victory. This is no longer a question of the number of places in the Grand Slam finals, but they all simply hope to win occasionally. They all have a heart that is unwilling to admit defeat .

In this tie-break, both of them were extremely focused, and both of them worked hard. They run, they hit the ball, they take every shot seriously and they don't pass up a chance.

However, there are always winners and losers in the game. In this tie-break, the two sides played 16 balls again, and finally Zhang Guan won the tie-break with a score of 9-7.

...

"Zhang Guan won the tie-break, 2-0, Zhang Guan leads Federer 2-0! In the final of the Australian Open in January, the first two sets between Zhang Guan and Federer, the score was Zhang Guan 2- 0 leading Federer, in that game, Zhang Guan finally won with a score of 3-0! Will today be a replica of the Australian Open final? Will Zhang Guan sweep Federer with a score of 3-0 again? Or is Federer Jedi How about a counterattack, let the two catch up and reverse the game? Today, Federer is only one French Open champion away from winning the Grand Slam. Last year, Federer was stopped by Nadal in the French Open final. Will Federer stop in the semifinals this year? Is it?"

A series of questions from the narrator, no one can answer now, but the final answer will be revealed in the next third set.

In the first game of the third set, Zhang Guan seized the opportunity and broke serve first. Then Zhang Guan made persistent efforts and successfully kept his serve, taking a 2-0 lead at the beginning.

...

In the players' lounge, Nadal sat back in his seat and continued to check his equipment.

"It's 2-0. Although Federer is playing well, Zhang Guan obviously wants to play better than Federer. On the clay court, the player with the dominant movement still has the advantage. It seems that my opponent in the final will be Crowned!" Nadal shook his head: "Judging from the performance of the two of them today, I would rather face Federer in the final."

Nadal has already won two consecutive championships at the French Open, and in his opinion, winning the three consecutive championships is a matter of course. Nadal agreed that no one in the world can prevent him from winning the three consecutive French Opens. Neither can Federer.

However, in today's semi-finals, Nadal finally felt a strong sense of threat. This sense of threat came from Zhang Guan, who was in good condition on TV. With the same powerful forehand and the same powerful mobility, Zhang Guan is obviously stronger than Federer at the French Open, strong enough to keep Nadal out of the French Open championship.

"I'm going to be strong!" Nadal felt the motivation to move forward.

...

In the lounge on the other side, Djokovic's expression was more solemn than Nadal's. At this time, Djokovic was already shocked by Zhang Guan's performance today.

"It's so strong! Federer's strength is already strong enough. I didn't expect Zhang Guan's strength to be even stronger! He's only a few months older than me!" Djokovic couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Originally, Djokovic thought he was the most talented player in the world, but seeing this game today and seeing Zhang Guan's level as a peer, Djokovic felt that his way was still ahead. very long.

"I want to become stronger!" Djokovic's face was full of desire for strength.

...

The game was still going on, Zhang Guan became more and more courageous, and Federer gradually showed signs of decline. After a few rounds, the score came to 5-2, which was Zhang Guan's match point.

Looking at the score of 5-2, Federer suddenly felt a kind of sadness in his heart.

"If I lose in the next round, I will bid farewell to this French Open! It seems that my road to the Grand Slam is still very long!" Federer was thinking, while looking at Zhang Guan opposite.

At this time, Zhang Guan exudes a unique temperament, which is a kind of temperament that only the top athletes in the world will have.

"I have given full play, but I am not yet Zhang Guan's opponent. Why is it so?" There was a trace of confusion in Federer's eyes, but this confusion lasted only for a moment, and then disappeared.

"It's because I'm not strong enough!" Federer's expression suddenly became extremely persistent, and he found a new goal.

"I want to become stronger!"
