In the first game of the third set, another love-game appeared in Zhang Guan's serving game.
At this time, even the host could see that Roches had collapsed.
Roches' current world ranking is still around 50, and he has also won the men's doubles Grand Slam championship. It stands to reason that even if he meets Federer, he will not collapse at the beginning of the third set. But in today's match against Zhang Guan, Roches showed signs of collapse at the beginning of the third set.
This is mainly caused by psychological factors. If the opponent is Federer, Roches will regard himself as the weak one from the beginning of the game, because losing to Federer is normal, so even if he is defeated by Federer 6-0, Roches will not be surprised, and his mentality will be different. There won't be too obvious changes.
But today Roches faced Zhang Guan, a track and field athlete, a rookie participating in a formal tennis match for the first time, a player who even needed sponsors to pay to qualify. Even in Roches' eyes, Zhang Guan cannot be considered a "player" at all.
Then Roches was completely beaten by Zhang Guan, by an amateur player in his eyes!
In tennis, many strong players are upset, often not because of technical or performance problems, but because of mentality problems. Especially in tennis, a game lasts for several hours and requires dozens of games. It requires a stable mentality.
Roches' mentality was already unbalanced at this time, and his judgment and handling of the ball became increasingly unreasonable. Unforced errors were also increasing, and the situation began to become one-sided.
1-0, 2-0, 3-0, 4-0... This seemed to be a replica of the first set. Roches kept losing points, and he lost them quickly.
"End it! End it quickly!" Roches shouted silently in his heart. He hoped to end this game as soon as possible. He hoped to end this suffering as soon as possible.
Finally, Roches had been waiting for this moment, and he was finally free!
…
"Bagel! Double-bagel! It turned out to be the second 6-0! The first double-bagel at this Australian Open! Unbelievable, Zhang Guan actually won this game. The score between the two sides was 6-0, 6 -3, 6-0! Judging from this score, it can be said that this game was a complete victory for Zhang Guan! I think this ending was something that no one expected before the game. Zhang Guan completed his career in professional tennis. The first victory is also his first victory in the Australian Open!"
At this time, the prompt in the system also gave Zhang Guan a reminder. Winning a professional tennis match for the first time will reward him with a skill point. Winning the first round of the Australian Tennis Open will reward him with a skill point.
"There are two more skill point rewards. Remember when I broke the national record for the first time, it was just one skill point reward! It seems that the level of this Grand Slam event is quite high in the system, but If you win the first round, you will get a skill point reward. I wonder if it will increase in the future? If the rewards continue to increase, if all the Australian Open games are won this time, if you can win the final championship, the reward will be I’m afraid it will compete with the entire series of track and field golden leagues! Maybe the skill points spent on tennis can be earned back soon.”

At the home venue of the Australian Open, Rod Laver Arena, Sharapova experienced a hard battle and finally defeated her opponent.
Sharapova's opponent is named Camelli Ping, a young player from France. Naturally, she is not very strong. In the first set of Ziah, Sharapova also won 6-3. win.
But in the second set, Sharapova was a little out of shape. Not only was the game very stalemate, but she also made many mistakes. In the end, she lost the second set with a score of 4-6, and the game was dragged into Long game decider.
In the Olympic Games and Grand Slam competitions, the winner of the ordinary set is determined by the tie-break method. That is to say, when the two sides tie at 6-6, the seventh game will start, commonly known as the tie-break. Who wins? Whoever wins the tie-break can win the set with a score of 7-6.
In the deciding set, the long set tie-breaker system is used. The so-called long set tie-breaker means that one side must lead two games in the deciding set to win the game. In the general long set tie-breaker, such as 8-6, 9- Parts like 7 are very common. For example, at Wimbledon in 2009, Federer and Roddick once played a score of 16-14. At Wimbledon in 2010, two players once created a long-set tiebreaker. An incredible record of 70-68.
The women's match at the Australian Open is a best-of-three set, so the first two sets are tie-breaks and the last set is a decider. The men's match is a best-of-five set, so the first four sets are tie-breaks and the fifth set is a long-set tiebreaker.
After all, Sharapova is a player who holds two Grand Slam championships and is known as a talented tennis girl. Although her opponent Camelli is about the same age as Sharapova, she is actually an unknown teenager. So the game was dragged into a long set, and Sharapova felt a little irritable. Especially as the sun gradually rose and the temperature gradually increased, the irritability in Sharapova's heart became even more intense.
In the final long-set decider, Sharapova did not perform well and played very hard. However, there was a gap in strength between the two sides. In the end, Sharapova won the long-set decider with a score of 9-7.
"Finally won!" Sharapova let out a long breath, and then she immediately thought of Zhang Guan.
"I've been playing this match for so long. The match on his side should have already started. I don't know what's going on on his side and whether the first tennis match went well." Sharapova decided to rush to the Vodafone Arena immediately to watch. Look at Zhang Guan's situation.
When Sharapova walked into the Vodafone Arena, she happened to hear the applause and exclamations of the audience, and the sound of "double-bagel" could be vaguely heard among them.
"Double-bagel! Impossible! Although Zhang Guan participated in the Australian Open for the first time, with his level, even if his performance is abnormal, he will not be beaten 6-0 twice! Although Roches doubles Yes, but his singles ranking is not high, so it is unlikely that he will win a clean sheet!" Sharapova looked at the scoreboard with a gloomy face.
"6-0, 6-3, 6-0, the game is over. This is a crushing victory! It's Zhang Guan, Zhang Guan won!" Sharapova repeatedly confirmed the scoreboard name to make sure you read it correctly.
"How is it possible? Roches is a player ranked more than 50 in the world. Even if his level is not as good as the first-class players, he will not be beaten like this! With this score, even if Federer comes, it is impossible to beat Roches. Let Chase play like this! What happened in this game? Could it be that Roches was injured midway?"
Sharapova thought about it and couldn't understand why there was such an exaggerated score. In the end, she felt that the only reasonable explanation was that Roches was injured and then finished the game with the injury, so she was beaten by Zhang Guan.
