In the first game between Zhang Guan and Nadal, Nadal almost didn't touch the ball and it was over. In the first game, Zhang Guan’s serve was very oppressive. Although there were two double faults, Zhang Guan finally won the first game by virtue of two ACE balls and two serve points, temporarily leading 1-0 .

"Zhang Guan played very aggressively at the beginning of the game today!" Although he only finished the first round, Nadal felt the pressure already.

In previous games, Zhang Guan seldom played aggressively at the beginning. Zhang Guan's style of play is still relatively steady. After all, Zhang Guan's strength is superior, both in strength and moving speed. advantage, playing steadily is obviously the most scientific and reasonable way of playing.

But today is different, this time Zhang Guan is playing at home, and the atmosphere of the audience is very enthusiastic, so even in the face of Nadal, who is known for his defensive strength, Zhang Guan also chooses a very aggressive offensive style of play.

In the second game, Nadal's serve, Nadal's first serve was not of high quality, but then Nadal relied on his strong forehand topspin and began to deal with Zhang Guan.

15-0, Nadal successfully won the first goal, and then scored another serve to turn the score into 30-0.

On the next goal, Zhang Guan changed direction and forced the net, and successfully pulled back a goal, and the score became 30-15.

At the moment when Zhang Guan pulled back a goal, the audience burst into the most enthusiastic applause and cheers, comparable to Zhang Guan's ACE ball when he first served.

Nadal took a deep breath. He was obviously affected by the home atmosphere, at least his mentality became loose. On the next ball, he made a double fault and gave Zhang Guan a 30- 30.

Zhang Guan equalized the score, and his momentum immediately rose, and the audience was obviously happier than Zhang Guan, and the applause in the stadium continued...

...

In the first set between the two sides, Nadal made frequent mistakes in the second game, while Zhang Guan seized the opportunity and broke serve as soon as he came up. Then the two sides protected the serve, and the score rose one after another, reaching 5-2. In the eighth round of Nadal's serve, Zhang Guanyou took the lead to get the count. After a long stalemate of more than 20 rounds, the final score was 6-2. The score successfully won the first set.

...

"So tired!" Nadal wiped the sweat from his head, and then threw the towel to the caddy.

Nadal felt very tired, and he found that he seemed to be unable to run.

"This is only the second set, why am I so tired!" Nadal tried to pant heavily, hoping to relieve the feeling of fatigue.

Nadal has always been one of the best physical players among professional tennis players, and now Nadal is at his peak, not to mention hitting the second set, or hitting the fifth set to enter the long-set final. Nadal's physical strength There won't be too many problems.

But today's situation is obviously different from the past. The fanatical atmosphere in the stadium made Nadal very uncomfortable and even felt depressed. This depressive feeling prevents Nadal from playing in a normal state. At the same time, this depressive atmosphere also invisibly increases Nadal's physical exertion.

In fact, the greater consumption is not physical consumption, but mental consumption. High-intensity competitions such as the Olympic finals will consume a lot of energy from the athletes, and the opponent is fighting at home, so it is still so The horrible home court has increased the energy consumption of Nadal exponentially.

Tennis has always been hailed as an elegant sport. An important point in tennis watching etiquette is to keep quiet. Under normal circumstances, during the stalemate between players, the audience should keep as quiet as possible. There will be some applause after the end, and like the applause of the audience, it will only appear after some wonderful shots.

However, the sport of tennis does not have such a deep foundation in China, nor does it have such a large mass base. Many people do not know the etiquette of watching, or have not yet formed the habit of watching etiquette. That's why there are so many fanatical and indulgent cheers and shouts on the field.

What's more, this is Zhang Guan's game. For domestic sports audiences, no matter what kind of competition, just relying on the word "Zhang Guan" is enough to attract them to watch. In this Olympic tennis final, many people actually came not to watch tennis, but to watch Zhang Guan. Many of them were fans of Zhang Guan in track and field events. When these track and field fans sat in the tennis audience When I was on the table, I naturally brought the track and field set to the tennis event.

Although Nadal has been on the battlefield for a long time, he has never encountered this kind of home court. He has no idea how to deal with it, let alone how to adapt, which resulted in the current situation.

The atmosphere on the court made Nadal feel a little out of breath. He was under tremendous mental pressure. The chain reaction brought about by this mental pressure was that Nadal's physical strength, concentration and even judgment all declined. , can be said to be all-round backwardness.

The score of the second set was 6-2 again. Zhang Guan won the game neatly, while Nadal on the opposite side seemed to have completely lost the feeling of the game. The quality of his serve was not good and he made many mistakes in returning the ball.

...

Zhang Guan's victory seemed to come without suspense, and the TV broadcaster, host and commentator also started chatting.

"Zhang Guan has already led Nadal 2-0. I thought the Olympic tennis final should be a head-to-head contest, but I didn't expect Zhang Guan to take a 2-0 lead so easily. It looks like a one-sided game. game." The host said.

"That's right, Zhang Guan played very aggressively today. He played his due level, but Nadal seems to be out of shape. With Zhang Guan's strength, even if Nadal is in good shape, he will go all out. , and may not be able to win. Now that Nadal is not in good condition, it will be even more difficult to play. It seems that Zhang Guan is only a matter of time away from this Olympic gold medal." Guest commentator Su continued: "Zhang Guan is far away from the Golden Slam. It’s very close! As long as he wins another round, Zhang Guan will become the second tennis men’s singles player ever to win the Golden Slam.”

"To be honest, two years ago, I never thought that one day, our Chinese tennis players could also win the highest honor in the tennis world, the Golden Slam. But today, Zhang Guan is about to do it."

While the two were talking, the third set of the match between the two sides had already begun.

In Europe and the United States, countless Nadal fans hope that Nadal can catch up, hope that Nadal can make a comeback, but none of what they expected happened. In the third set, Nadal seemed to give up the game. , even if it is resistance, it is only a symbolic resistance.

Those professional tennis commentators saw this scene and realized that Nadal lost this game. Although the game is not over yet, Nadal has no fighting spirit. That bad state makes his mentality unstable, and his mental instability makes his state even worse.

"I think we can congratulate Zhang Guan in advance for winning the Olympic tennis final!"
