[0315] The shadow of losing streak
For Nadal, meeting Gu Fei in the finals of three major competitions is both a challenge and an honor.
The challenge is because Gu Fei, as the best tennis player on the planet, continuously competes with Gu Fei, which puts great pressure on him; the glory is because as a young player, entering the finals of competitions consecutively means that Nadal has become a world-class player.
Being defeated by Gu Fei consecutively on the clay court where he is best, did not dampen Nadal's confidence. On the contrary, it inspired him to have a higher fighting spirit and allowed him to perform better on hard courts.
The young Nadal has just entered professional tennis and is known for his tenacious fighting spirit. His playing style of fighting for every ball has gradually formed. His opponents cannot relax until the last point.
Compared to Federer's gentlemanly style and Gu Fei's gentleness, Nadal is like a cheetah breaking into the professional tennis world, full of wild power.
Different styles create different playing styles and attract different fans. Nadal's support on the court is not much less than that of Gu Fei.
On the hard court, Gu Fei's serving advantage was magnified to the extreme, and it was difficult for Nadal to take advantage of Gu Fei's serving game. On the other hand, Nadal's most powerful forehand topspin could not be used due to the venue. The greatest power.
Slowly, the balance of victory gradually tilted towards Gu Fei. His serving, baseline stalemate and net volleying had all reached master level, and his condition was frighteningly stable.
At 6:4, Gu Fei successfully broke serve in the 10th game and successfully won the first set, taking the lead in the best-of-five set.
International tennis experts have shown through research on Gu Fei that if Gu Fei serves first, he will often choose to break serve in the sixth, eighth or tenth game and win the game in one fell swoop.
Of course, this is a tactic that will only be used when encountering a well-matched opponent. Under normal circumstances, Gu Fei has always maintained a crushing momentum against ordinary players, and breaking serve is the norm.
Nadal was very unwilling to lose the first set. He was able to score a lot of points in almost every game, but still couldn't get any break points. Once he got points in Gu Fei's service game, he would often add more points. Serve with great power, and then take away the game in one wave, making it difficult for people to guard against!
"Unstoppable!"
The headlines of major media outlets after the Montreal Masters ended were accompanied by a picture of Gu Fei holding up the championship trophy.
Although Nadal was in excellent condition and caused a lot of trouble for Gu Fei, Gu Fei's desperate and stable performance allowed him to defeat Nadal three times 6:4 and successfully defend his Canadian Masters title.
In the media reports, reporters and experts conducted detailed analysis from various angles. Everyone also realized that with Gu Fei's terrifyingly stable state, it would not be easy to defeat him.
If we talk about winning the last Los Angeles Tour, Gu Fei was officially promoted to the throne of 'Ball King' by the media, and this game further consolidated Gu Fei's status.
Before the media and fans had time to discuss too much, the Cincinnati Masters kicked off the next day. Gu Fei, who had just lifted the championship trophy in Montreal, appeared on the court again, turning people's attention to this city. Small town America.
Almost a replica of the Montreal Masters, Gu Fei still made it to the finals calmly, but there was extremely fierce competition in the other half. In the end, Federer was in better shape and defeated the No. 3 seed Nadal. Successfully qualified as a finalist.
Before the game, the media, including betting companies, did not have any hope for Federer's victory, because Federer had already lost 12 consecutive games to Gu Fei in the final.
In fact, even Federer himself was even more nervous and anxious than usual.
Since successfully ranking second in the ATP rankings in the second half of 2004, Federer's performance has been very stable and his international influence has grown.
As the number one star in Switzerland, a wealthy country in Europe, even if Federer has not won a truly significant championship on the court, he has numerous sponsorship brands, making him the most profitable player in professional tennis after Gu Fei.
player.
Even though Gu Fei is the number one superstar in men's professional tennis, his Chinese identity will still make some chauvinistic brands in Europe and the United States stay away from him and choose the second-ranked Federer.
The more sponsorship contracts he signs, the more performance requirements Federer has to bear. Winning the Grand Slam and Masters has become a sharp sword hanging over Federer's head.
In the past two years, Federer has reached the finals of major competitions countless times, but failed every time. On the opposite side of the final court, there is always that oriental face.
Although Federer and Gu Fei have a good relationship in private, when they travel around the world to participate in competitions, they will even stay in the same hotel and train together, and their girlfriends have become good friends.
This time, when they moved from Montreal to Cincinnati, Federer and Nadal took Gu Fei’s ‘Feilan’.
The good personal relationship did not change Federer's desire to defeat Gu Fei openly on the court. He was almost always preparing.
After the game started, the audience and industry insiders were surprised to find that Federer adopted more proactive tactics to deal with Gu Fei, which also achieved good results.
In the first set, the two sides were anxious until the tie-break. Gu Fei relied on a mini break to defeat Federer and successfully won.
In the second set that followed, Federer still adopted similar tactics as the first set, but the results were not satisfactory.
Firstly, Gu Fei adapted to Federer's style of play, and secondly, this proactive style of play was extremely energy-consuming. Federer's condition declined slightly in the second set, but the keen Gu Fei discovered and caught it.
The score of 6:4 indicates that Gu Fei has escaped from Federer's impact and has taken the initiative in the entire game.
When the game's big score changed to 2:0, Federer's fans, sponsors and himself knew that the situation was over.
As expected, Federer, who had lost his strong confidence, plummeted in the third set and was broken by Gu Fei consecutively, losing 2:6.
When Gu Fei ended the normal game with an ACE, the Chinese fans at the scene burst into enthusiastic cheers. Gu Fei also hit the tennis ball in his hand into the stands with excitement, and moved everything on hand including the racket.
They were all thrown onto the stands.
Achieving back-to-back three consecutive titles in the Canadian Masters and Cincinnati Masters, Gu Fei set various records in the world of men's tennis, which are unprecedented and undisputed and most likely unprecedented.
‘Ball King’ Gu Fei has already made waves in the North American hard court season, and at this time, the global media and fans have almost unanimously focused their attention on New York. The American Open held in Flushing Park is about to begin!
This may become a game that will go down in history!
