The audience at Philip Stadium burst into uniform applause. On Grand Slam courts, only a few big-name players can enjoy this kind of treatment.
Today, they gave this kind of applause to Monfils, because Monfils gave everyone a wonderful "performance".
Monfils was also very excited. If it were an ordinary game, it would be difficult for him to have so many opportunities to perform. However, today Zhang Guan's running and attacking style always attacked his space at a fast pace, which also made Monfils There were a lot of chances to save.
"Applause, more applause! Let me be more excited!" Monfils looked up to the sky and sighed.
The second set of the match between the two also began.
Monfils was not as good as others in terms of skills and gradually began to fall behind in terms of scores, but in terms of playing style, Monfils became more proactive and more ferocious. Obviously the atmosphere at the scene also affected Monfils' condition, making him more courageous as he fought.
Zhang Guan hit a diagonal forehand, and the ball was about to go out of bounds. Monfils also started his "fancy" save, only to see a fish leap over, swung the ball, and controlled the ball. He made a turn and then landed on his butt.
"Oh wow!" The audience at the scene actually exclaimed.
"Rescued." Monfils was about to stand up when he heard the audience exclaim again.
"Wow..." The audience's voices this time conveyed not only wonder, but also a sense of shock.
"What's wrong? Is my landing point very beautiful?" Monfils immediately looked towards the opposite side, looking at Zhang Guan.
Zhang Guan took two consecutive steps, his body soared into the air, and then he also extended his racket to his crotch, completing this crotch hit in the air.
Monfils had done a similar action like this before, and received applause from the audience. Now, Zhang Guan is repeating this action.
But Zhang Guan can jump higher and farther than Monfils. Zhang Guan's stride is larger, his time in the air is longer, and his overall movements are more smooth and graceful. From an ornamental point of view, if If Zhang Guan's action is compared to a white swan, then Monfils's similar action is like Donald Duck.
After Zhang Guan landed, he smiled slightly. He used his stepping skills for this performance return.
The stepping skill is not only a hurdle skill, but also a triple jump skill. No matter how strong Monfils's physical fitness is, he is only a tennis player. How can he compete with Zhang Guan, a track and field champion? Although Zhang Guan has not participated in the triple jump competition, this does not affect his ability to jump higher, span farther, and make more graceful movements.
The next moment, the entire audience was excited, but this time, the applause and shouts were not for Monfils, but for Zhang Guan.
Monfils felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart. He felt that the applause originally belonged to him, but now it was taken away by Zhang Guan.
A few minutes later, Monfils counterattacked, and Zhang Guan also dived to save the ball and fell sideways. However, unlike Monfils, Zhang Guan stood up after turning sideways, and ran to the net, giving Monfils a fatal blow.
"Oh oh oh oh!" The audience burst into excitement again.
Zhang Guan's saving action was replayed on the big screen, and the commentator said in an exaggerated voice: "It's so wonderful. Zhang Guan's save was so wonderful. He didn't continue after he fell to the ground." He stayed where he was, but got up directly! How did he do it? You must know that Monfils made the same save just now, but it took him a second to get up from the ground! Is this a legend? Is it Chinese Kung Fu?"
This is certainly not Chinese Kung Fu. There is a sideways landing point in the long jump technique. Zhang Guan also borrowed this technique. After landing sideways, he used the inertia to get up. This is not difficult for a trained professional long jumper.
Monfils looked at the big screen, feeling even more empty in his heart. Of course he could see that Zhang Guan's save was much more beautiful than his own save.
In the stands, Federer had a signature smile on his face. He shook his head slightly and said, "I didn't expect Zhang Guan to do this trick! But his performance was much more beautiful than Monfils's. Zhang Guan can do this trick!" Guan’s movements are smoother and more stretched, and the audience buys in more!”
As Federer spoke, he looked at the audience. At this time, the audience no longer supported Monfils one-sidedly, and many people began to support Zhang Guan.
Audiences love novelty, but they are also fickle. Originally, when only Monfils was "performing", the audience began to support Monfils out of curiosity. But when Zhang Guan also started to perform, the more ornamental actions instantly made Monfils lose a lot of confidence. supporter.
Milka's voice rang in Federer's ear: "Don't forget, Zhang Guan is a track and field athlete, and he is also a world champion in the long jump."
"Yes, I said the same movement, Zhang Guan can do it more smoothly!" Federer suddenly realized, and he returned his gaze to the court.
"Huh? What is Zhang Guan doing?" Federer exclaimed.
I saw that after Zhang Guan returned the ball on one side of the court, he did not return to the middle position where it was easier to catch the ball. Instead, he ran out of bounds, even close to the guardrail.
"What is Zhang Guan doing? Why did he run out of bounds?"
"You're almost running off the court. Could it be that you're injured?"
"With such a big gap left for Monfils on the other side, the ball must have been missed."
Of course, the audience at the scene made various speculations. Even the referee also turned his attention to Zhang Guan. The referee also believed that Zhang Guan might be injured. Once he requested a medical timeout, the referee would immediately terminate the game.
Monfils on the opposite side was also stunned, but the quality of a professional player still allowed him to hit the ball to the open position on the other side of Zhang Guan.
"You can't be really injured!" Coach Zhang Depei stood up nervously, and it was at this moment that Zhang Guan suddenly started to accelerate and ran towards the other side of the court.
"He can still run, his movements are smooth, and Zhang Guan is not injured! But why did he run out of bounds? Suddenly he turned?" Coach Zhang felt baffled.
But Zhang Guan soared into the sky, like an eagle, soaring in the sky. He flew directly from one side of the court to the other.
Singles use the inside sideline. The distance between the inside sideline of a standard tennis court is only 8.23 meters. This is obviously not a problem for the person with the longest jump in the world.
In the air, Zhang Guan moved his legs forward. At this time, the tennis ball flew just in front of Zhang Guan. However, because Zhang Guan jumped well, the ball was now under Zhang Guan's legs.
A racket suddenly stretched out from the back of Zhang Guan's legs, hit the tennis ball, and hit the ball over the net.
The next moment, Zhang Guan fell to the ground, and his sneakers drew a long trace on the clay court.
The entire movement was done in one go. If there were a track and field coach or a long jumper present, it would be obvious at a glance that Zhang Guangang's mid-air movement was clearly the long jump crouching posture, with just an additional mid-air hit.
The world's number one long jumper can easily do a five-shot pose when flying, not to mention hitting the ball.
However, this action is not a long jump in the eyes of ordinary viewers. Instead, Zhang Guan jumped horizontally from one side of the court to the other. Not only did he jump very far, but he also jumped very high. He even flew over the tennis ball. What's more important is that Zhang Guan completed the ball at the moment he leaped over it. Hit the ball.
Monfils looked at the scene and was so stunned that he even forgot to catch the ball.
The audience was completely silent, as if they couldn't believe their eyes.
"Oh, my God! What I saw! Incredible! How did Zhang Guan do it! He is simply a god!" (Begging for monthly support!)
Chapter 4 delivered. I wasted some time at night and only wrote four chapters. I was a little dissatisfied myself. More to come tomorrow. The monthly ticket list is really bloody. At first glance, the classification is no longer guaranteed. The passer has just said that it will explode on the weekend. It would be a slap in the face if he was immediately knocked out of the first place! I worked very hard to pass the test, and I beg you not to slap me in the face, and I beg you to support me with your monthly votes!
