CCTV's sports channel was also broadcasting the game live at this time.
Taking advantage of the break, the commentator asked the guest commentator next to him: "Director Su, the first four games are over. Now the two sides are tied at 2-2. Please comment on the first four games!"
"The first four games were mainly about serving, which can be said to be a 'serve battle'. Although the score is now 2-2, which seems to be of equal strength, Zhang Guan still has a big advantage. Zhang Guan's The serve is better than Gonzalez's, with faster serving speed and higher accuracy. Although Gonzalez's serve is also very good, it is still not as good as Zhang Guan's." Domestic guests, the holder of Su's guidance, have always reported good news. The style of reporting worries.
"So why does this 'serve battle' happen?" the commentator then asked.
"At the beginning of the game, athletes tend to have sufficient physical strength, so they can choose some fast serves. Another point is the choice of tactics." Director Su paused, and then said: "Probably the players on both sides They all hope to give their opponents a blow, hoping to use a strong serve to gain an advantage or gain momentum at the beginning of the game. This is also a type of tennis tactic. Many players who are slow to warm up may enter the state at the beginning of the game. It is relatively slow. If you encounter this kind of play, you will be more passive and you may lose the game quickly."
"Do you think the two sides will continue this kind of 'serve war' in the future?" the commentator continued.
"Probably not. This style of fighting each other's serves is definitely unsustainable. I think both sides will soon return to the normal rhythm of the game, constantly creating opportunities and finding loopholes in their opponents through stalemates. Complete the score. A player like Gonzalez’s forehand is very powerful and very lethal, but his backhand is relatively weak, so I suggest that Zhang Guan try to attack Gonzalez’s Backhand." Director Su continued.
"Okay, thank you, Director Su, for your comments. The fifth game between the two sides is about to begin again. Let's switch back to the game screen!"
Accompanied by the commentator's voice, the screen cut back to Rod Laver Arena.
It was Gonzalez's turn to serve again. He looked up at Zhang Guan's half court, thought carefully, and then started to serve. This time, he served directly to Zhang Guan's backhand position.
The landing point of this ball is not very extreme, and it is easier to judge, but the speed of the ball is still very fast. Zhang Guan rushed forward with a lunge, and the ball was already close to him. He hit it with a backhand and returned it diagonally. Of course, Zhang Guan had no choice. With the speed of the ball, it was impossible for Zhang Guan to straighten the ball with his backhand.
Returning the ball diagonally means that the tennis ball has to fly a longer distance, and the receiver will have more time to prepare. I saw Gonzalez quickly walking to the position, picking up the racket and hitting hard with his forehand.
"Let you taste the power of my forehand!" Gonzalez shouted while hitting the ball.
This is Gonzalez's strongest offensive method, a powerful forehand.
When the tennis ball flies over the net, there is no high-speed rotation or tricky landing point, but only speed and power.
"The ball came so fast! Fortunately, it landed at the right spot." Zhang Guan swung the racket without thinking, trying to hit a topspin ball. However, he still underestimated Gonzalez's strength. When the racket came into contact with the ball, Zhang Guan realized that he had not returned the ball well.
"The force is too weak." Zhang Guan secretly complained that something was wrong. Not only did he not hit the ideal topspin on this shot, but the return force was too weak, giving Gonzalez a chance to hit the ball hard.
Of course Gonzalez would not miss this opportunity. He still used his forehand and hit the ball fiercely to score the first point.
"Okay!" Gonzalez shook his fist excitedly. He was very satisfied with his performance just now.
For the second ball, Gonzalez's serve still fell to Zhang Guan's backhand, and then he used his diagonal position to make a powerful forehand return. Although Zhang Guan increased his power in returning the ball this time, he still could not stop Gonzalez's fierce offensive. After three rounds on the scene, Gonzalez saw an opportunity and scored another goal with a change of line ball. point.
"Yeah!" Gonzalez roared softly. The victory of two consecutive goals made him feel that his emotions were completely aroused and his body began to get excited.
"The two goals just now are just the appetizer, and the next step is the main meal!" Gonzalez was full of confidence, and he started to serve the third ball.
"Whoosh!" The tennis ball flew over the net, really like a small cannonball. Gonzalez continued to attack with his forehand. His attacks became more and more smooth, and the ball speed became faster and faster. .
"Gonzalez's power is even greater than before!" Zhang Guan was not used to Gonzalez's violent forehand style at this time, and lost another ball after a few shots.
Then Gonzalez seemed to be in form. After a series of strong attacks, he hit the net once and gave Zhang Guan a love-game again. The score in the first set reached 3-2, with Gonzalez temporarily leading.
…
"The situation is not good for Zhang Guan. Gonzalez is in top form! A Gonzalez in top form will give me a headache!" Federer said softly in front of the TV.
"If it were you, how would you fight against Gonzalez?" Camille asked.
Federer thought for a while and said: "Once Gonzalez is in form, he is very fierce. Just look at Nadal in the last game. Nadal's defense was beaten by Gonzalez with a 3 -0. So the best way to deal with Gonzalez is not to let him get out of shape. And if you really face a Gonzalez who is in good shape, don't go head-to-head with him and attack Gonzalez as much as possible. Reis's backhand, in this way, slowly wears down Gonzalez's state. Gonzalez is easily angry, and his state is not easy to maintain stable. Once he encounters continuous offensive setbacks, he will easily lose his temper. Collapsed.”
At this time, in the CCTV live broadcast hall, Director Su was also giving endless suggestions.
"Zhang Guan should play smarter. When facing an offensive player like Gonzalez, he should first avoid his sharp edge. He can try to attack Gonzalez's backhand, or add some small-angle cutting balls to reduce the risk of attack. The odds of Gonzalez hitting a forehand.”
…
On the court, Zhang Guan was completely unable to hear Coach Su's suggestions.
"Gonzalez's forehand style is indeed very violent. If ordinary players confront him head-on, they will definitely suffer." Zhang Guan twisted his shoulders: "But I am not an ordinary player. I have the skills to increase my arm strength. If we really talk about strength, he will not lose to Gonzalez. Since Gonzalez is very good at this violent fighting style, then I will fight violence with violence today!"
