Chapter 376 Angry Xiaode

In another game in 2/4, the fourth seed Djokovic defeated the "German Golden Boy" Haas and successfully advanced to the semi-finals. He is also Zhang Guan's opponent in the next game.

Djokovic was the most improved player in the ATP last year, and his ranking rose by 70 places within one year. This year, Djokovic is even more out of control. He has become the only player besides Federer and Nadal The best tennis player ever, and starting to challenge the dominance of Federer and Nadal.

If it wasn't for Zhang Guan's sudden appearance, Djokovic would definitely be the most eye-catching tennis star this year, but Zhang Guan's three Grand Slam titles are too dazzling, completely covering up the brilliance of Djokovic's new star.

Perhaps because of this, not many people are optimistic about Djokovic in the upcoming semi-finals.

"Serbian super star Djokovic has gradually become a threat to the two kings of Federer and Nadal with his own efforts. Djokovic, who is only 20 years old, has climbed to the fourth place in the world. In the glorious season of 2007, he won a total of 4 singles championships, including two masters championships over Federer and Nadal, and successfully scored four in three Grand Slam tournaments. Strong, these are enough to prove Djokovic's excellence. But this time Djokovic's opponent is Zhang Guan, a man who swept the three Grand Slams this year, a man who has never lost in his tennis career! Although Djokovic is the fourth seed, but facing Zhang Guan, Djokovic still has little chance of winning. Maybe in a few years, when the Serbian superstar becomes more mature, he will be able to pull Zhang Guan Go down to the altar."

Djokovic read a report on the website, and his gloomy expression was even more depressed.

"Serbia's super new star? I have been playing professional tennis for three years, but Zhang Guanzai is playing professional tennis for the first year, so he is considered a super new star! Why does he sound like a veteran player, while I am a city player?" There's a newcomer!"

But Djokovic knows that the sports world has always been a place where strength speaks. If he wants to change people's opinions, the best way is to beat Zhang Guan in the game.

"Beating Zhang Guan is not impossible. If I can beat Federer and Nadal, it is also possible to beat Zhang Guan!"

...

On September 8, the US Open entered the final sprint stage, and the semi-finals of the two men's singles will be held on this day.

One of the semi-finals was Federer against No. 15 seed Spaniard Ferrer. Ferrer and Nadal were in the same group, but he defeated the powerful Nadal in the fourth round, and then defeated the No. 20 seed Argentine Chela in the quarter-finals, and joined Federer in the semi-finals.

"It seems that the gap between me and Zhang Guan is not that big. I was not calm in handling the ball at the critical moment, so I lost the first set. As long as I play hard, I can still compete with Zhang Guan."

After a brief adjustment, Djokovic stepped onto the court again.
