Gonzalez sounded the clarion call for counterattack, and he also took action, but this does not mean that Gonzalez's counterattack will be effective.
After all, this is Zhang Guan's serve, and the server has an advantage. What's more, Zhang Guan's serving level is very good. If an average player can defend Zhang Guan's serve, it is considered very good.
Facing Zhang Guan's strong defense, Gonzalez had no choice but to attack.
Although Gonzalez is very good at attacking with force, the chance of success is still low if he chooses to attack with force in the opponent's serve. In this game, Gonzalez chose to attack with force three times, but all ended in failure. In the end, he also There was no serve that could break Zhang Guan.
The score reached 5-3. If Gonzalez could not keep his serve, the first set would be considered a settlement.
At this time, Gonzalez needed a pause to think carefully, but Gonzalez couldn't wait to prove that his forehand was stronger, so he quickly started his serve, and then The two sides started a forehand competition again. After a battle, when the score was evenly divided, Gonzalez's two mistakes ruined his serve. Zhang Guan also won the game with a score of 6-3. The first set of the game.
…
The game finally entered a timeout, and Gonzalez slowly calmed down and began to analyze the current situation.
"It's normal that I can't win Zhang Guan's serve, but my serve was actually broken by Zhang Guan! Why on earth is this?" Gonzalez recalled the process of the first set and began to think.
"Zhang Guan's strength is indeed great, not only in serving, but also in connecting serves. He can compete with me in terms of strength, so my style of play that favors strength and speed does not work for Zhang Guan. A big threat.”
"The other thing is the forehand duel! Yes, I lost the forehand duel!" Gonzalez quickly realized the problem: "My forehand shot, that is, I can Maintain about twenty-five beats. After twenty-five beats, my strength will not be able to support the high-intensity hitting, the ball speed will drop, and there will be problems with ball control. But Zhang Guan seems to be able to beat me If he persists longer, he can still maintain high-intensity hitting after twenty-five beats. Maybe he can persist for more than thirty beats! The difference is five beats!"
Gonzalez took a deep breath. Although there was only a five-shot difference, when masters competed, it was a matter of seconds. These five shots were enough to decide the outcome.
"I am no match for Zhang Guan on the forehand, and I can't get any advantage on the serve. What should I do?" Gonzalez was a little anxious. His two strongest weapons are the serve and the forehand. However, facing Zhang Guan , his two strongest spears were of no use. What was blocking him was not a strong shield, but two sharper spears!
"What should I do? What should I do?" Gonzalez was a little panicked, because the break between the two sets was about to end, and the second set was about to begin, and Gonzalez had not yet found a way to deal with Zhang Guan. Method.
…
The TV shows a close-up of the two players.
"Gonzalez has lost!" Federer sighed.
Milka was a little puzzled, and she said: "The first set of a best-of-five-set match has only been played now. The game can only be regarded as just beginning. Why is it decided so early?"
"Look at the expressions of the two of them. Gonzalez must be very confused now. He can't find a way to deal with Zhang Guan at all. Gonzalez's characteristics are very distinctive, but at the same time his playing style is too single. In the forehand duel just now, Gonzalez has played his best, but lost to Zhang Guan." Federer continued: "Look at Zhang Guan, he is very confident now. Just like he did in track and field. Zhang Guan was originally the top athlete in the world. Although tennis is a new field for him, he has obviously found the mentality of a strong man in this new field. I think this The overall situation of the game has been decided.”
"Then your opponent in the final will be Zhang Guan?" Milka said.
Federer nodded: "Yeah, I think that might be the toughest match I've faced this year."
"Why do you think so? Is it more difficult to deal with Zhang Guan than Nadal?" Milka asked.
"Perhaps it is really more difficult than playing against Nadal, because I don't know Zhang Guan well." Federer took a deep breath and continued: "Unknown opponents are always the most terrifying."
…
The second set between Zhang Guan and Gonzalez began.
Gonzalez continued his offensive style of play, and Zhang Guan also continued to fight Gonzalez.
1-0, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2... The score between the two sides seemed to be very tight. After ten games, the score between the two sides reached a 5-5 tie. Both sides were able to maintain their serve.

In the 11th game, Zhang Guan successfully kept serve and the score reached 6-5. In the following 12th game, the goddess of luck finally stopped favoring Gonzalez. He made a double serve error. This time, he made a double serve. The mistake also became the turning point of the game. After several consecutive ball stalemates, Gonzalez still lost the game and failed to push the second set to a tiebreaker.
"The total score between the two sides is now 2-0. For Gonzalez, it is on the verge of life and death. In a Grand Slam semi-final, almost no player can complete a comeback when trailing 0-2! The commentator looked at the information in his hand and then said: "As for Zhang Guan, if he wins this game, he will also create multiple histories. He will become the first wild card qualifying person to enter the Australian Open men's singles final." player; he is also the second player after Ivanisevic to qualify as a wild card to enter the Grand Slam men's singles final; in addition, he will also become the first player to enter a Grand Slam final in his first professional competition. Players.”
In the third set of the match between the two sides, Gonzalez's condition declined, especially his serve, which was much inferior to that of the first two games. This made it impossible for him to maintain an advantage in the serve game and gave Zhang Guan Several chances to break serve. "
Zhang Guan did not want to drag out the game for too long, so he continued to attack Gonzalez and deliberately increased the pace of the game. In this fast-paced game, both sides make more mistakes, but if both sides make the same mistakes, the lagging side will obviously be at a greater disadvantage. If the leader makes a mistake, at most he loses the ball and points, while if the laggard makes a mistake, it means ruining the game.
The increasing number of mistakes made Gonzalez become impatient, and he became more eager for success, which in turn caused him to make more mistakes. In the third game alone, Gonzalez was broken by Zhang Guan, and the reason for the break was precisely because Gonzalez made two double faults.
"There is something wrong with Gonzalez's mentality." Federer then commented: "The game has ended early!"
