Federer finally won the game with his strong serve. The score of 3-2 in the first set still put Federer temporarily behind. He had to get a break to equalize the score.
But with Zhang Guan's serving level, it is not easy for Federer to break serve. Of course, it is also difficult for Zhang Guan to break serve in Federer's hands.
Both are top athletes, and both of them are technically impeccable. According to the advantage of the tennis server, if the opponent does not make mistakes, it is almost impossible to break serve. Especially in ordinary games, the server has to serve at least four times to win a game, so the server's occasional one or two mistakes have little impact on keeping his serve, and even if the receiver can Even if you catch every mistake of your opponent, you may not be able to break serve successfully.
4-2, 4-3, 5-3, this is the result of the next three games between the two sides. Zhang Guan and Federer both successfully maintained their serve, and neither broke the other's serve. If according to this In terms of the trend, the victory in this set will be Zhang Guan.
In the ninth game of the match between the two sides, Federer served.
For Federer, he must save this game. Only by saving this game and then breaking serve in the next game can the game continue.
Zhang Guan looked at Federer, and he saw a kind of tenacity in Federer's eyes. Zhang Guan could feel that Federer was confident of winning in his serve.
Zhang Guan thought for a while and felt that it was really difficult to break serve, so he decided to strategically give up the game and focus on the next serve.
Federer did indeed perform bravely under pressure. He fired two ACE balls in a row at the beginning, catching Zhang Guan off guard. Then Federer became more and more courageous as he fought, and his powerful forehand showed up, without giving him any chance to breathe. He scored two goals like a storm, giving Zhang Guan a love-game.
The score reached 5-4. As long as Zhang Guan wins the serve, he can still win this set.
Federer has a habit of changing to a new racket if the tenth set is his opponent's serve. The referee is obviously aware of Federer's habit, so he reminds Zhang Guan to wait a moment, which is also a hint that Zhang Guan can go. Drink some water or wipe away the sweat.
Federer's breathing was a little short. The stormy attack in the previous game also consumed a lot of energy for Federer. If he hadn't felt the pressure, Federer would not have carried out such a high-intensity attack.
Federer, who had changed to a new racket, stood on the court again, waiting for Zhang Guan to serve.
Zhang Guan throws the ball and swings his racket to make a serving motion.
In the audience, Sharapova's eyes widened immediately: "This movement is wider than usual. Is Zhang Guan going to try that kind of serve again?"
As soon as this idea flashed through Sharapova's mind, Zhang Guan was already swinging the racket, and then the tennis ball fell into Federer's half.
"So fast!" Federer swung the racket almost instinctively without thinking, but the racket missed.
"It's empty!" Federer realized that the speed of the ball was too fast, and his body reaction did not keep up with the speed of the ball. Federer immediately looked at the display screen on the sidelines, which showed that the speed of the ball reached 230 kilometers per hour!
"A ball with a speed of 230 kilometers per hour!" Federer took a breath of air. In the previous match between Zhang Guan and Gonzalez, he once served a ball with a speed of more than 230 kilometers per hour. Federer, who was sitting next to the TV at the time, even sighed. But now when he really faced such a fast serve, Federer realized Yes, unless a ball of this speed is sent right in front of your racket, you will never be able to catch it.
"Is Zhang Guan fighting this game with all his strength? Indeed, as long as he wins this game, he can win this set." Federer shook his head slightly, and he suddenly blamed himself.
"It's all my fault. I entered the game too slowly and was broken by Zhang Guan in the first game. If I had been in this state at the beginning of the game, the winner of this set might be me, and I could at least reach the tie-break. !I will never be as passive as I am now."
Federer took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his mentality, and prepared to receive the second ball. Obviously Federer did not intend to give up.
"Drink!" Zhang Guan shouted as the tennis ball landed on the ground and then popped out of bounds.
"OUT!" The line judge's voice sounded after a second. It can be seen that the line judge was also quite hesitant. He shouted "OUT" after careful consideration.
Federer immediately looked at Zhang Guan. He wanted to know if Zhang Guan wanted to challenge Hawkeye. Federer obviously believed in Zhang Guan's judgment more than the cheese line referee's eyes.
Zhang Guan did not challenge. He took out the tennis ball and prepared to serve the second ball, which made Federer relieved.
"It seems that it was really an out-of-bounds ball." Federer bent down and prepared to catch the ball.
The tennis ball came flying, and Zhang Guan's second serve was still very strong, but much slower than the first serve. With Federer's ability, although the ball was a little hasty, he still managed to make a beautiful return of serve.
"I left a flaw on my forehand. Zhang Guan will definitely attack the forehand. When the time comes, I will directly change the line of the forehand and attack his backhand!" Federer thought of doing it, and when he caught the ball again, he deliberately exposed a flaw. .
"Federer's forehand has a flaw!" Zhang Guan on the opposite side noticed this immediately, and he attacked with a powerful blow. At the moment Zhang Guan swung the racket, Federer's body suddenly changed direction and ran towards the landing point of the tennis ball. go.
Almost at this moment, an idea flashed into Zhang Guan's mind: "The next ball will be forced to change the line and attack the backhand!"
This is a judgment based on Federer's experience. In reality, Federer is preparing to do just that.
Federer suddenly stopped, swung his body, and made a large arc for his forehand. The tennis ball had already completed the sideline and flew directly to Zhang Guan's backhand.
"Successful!" Federer turned around to look, only to find that Zhang Guan had stopped suddenly on the path of receiving the ball. Then Zhang Guan also made a wide arc movement and began to attack Federer's backhand.
"What? He saw through my mind again!" Federer was caught off guard. He didn't care to think carefully, but ran quickly to catch the ball.
"The distance is too far, so I can only slice the ball backhand!" Federer sliced the ball over the net with his backhand, but the quality of the ball was not high.
Federer's forehand slice can be said to be the strongest among professional athletes, but he rarely uses his backhand slice. Because he is a one-handed backhand player, Federer's backhand slice is not as powerful as his forehand, even if he can It produces very high-speed rotation, but cannot guarantee the speed of the ball.
This ball spins very hard, but not very fast, and Zhang Guan is a player who moves very fast, which means that Zhang Guan can catch the ball more comfortably.
Seeing the direction of Zhang Guan's return ball, Federer had realized that with this ball, he would be moved back and forth all over the court by Zhang Guan, and then Zhang Guan would seize an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow. However, Federer did not give up. He was betting that Zhang Guan would make a mistake.
However, Federer was still disappointed. After Zhang Guan's three consecutive powerful attacks, Federer's defense collapsed. Zhang Guan scored another goal and the score reached 30-0.
"Why is this happening? This is already the sixth time!" Federer frowned: "We are now in the tenth game. This is the sixth time Zhang Guan has seen through my intentions, and this time I used something other than I deliberately set a trap for my regular play, but he actually saw through it. On that shot just now, no one in the world would have thought that I would change my lane except for me. How could he know what I was thinking? ?”
