Although Federer's surprise attack tactic was seen through by Zhang Guan, he did not give up. He decided to continue trying to attack, but the effect of the attack was not good.
After all, this was Zhang Guan's serve. Federer's strong attack exposed his own flaws and even made an unforced error. Zhang Guan also won three goals in a row and tied the first set to 6-6. Both sides need to decide the outcome of this game through a tie-break.
"It's the tie-break." Federer couldn't help but think of the game between Zhang Guan and Davydenko. In the tie-break, there were more than 30 or even 40 shots in a row, and Davydenko's shot was abruptly eliminated. Physical exertion is clean.
"Forty strokes, every ball has to emphasize top spin. Even I wouldn't be able to hold on! This guy Zhang Guan is really the most physically gifted athlete in the world. So, I definitely can’t stalemate with Zhang Guan for a long time, so I’d better strengthen my forehand!” Federer thought as he started to serve.
In the tie-break, Federer's serve became more aggressive. Obviously Federer knew that every ball in the tie-break was unmissable and he had to strengthen the sense of pressure.
Federer's serve this time was of extremely high quality. After Zhang Guan received the ball, he was continuously suppressed by Federer's forehand to the extreme. After resisting two shots, he lost the ball.
Then Zhang Guan served. After Zhang Guan served, Federer tried to switch from defense to attack, but both attempts failed. Instead, his flaw was exposed. Zhang Guan scored two points in a row, and the score in the tie-break became 2-2. 1.
After Federer's serve, Zhang Guan also launched an attack. However, Federer relied on his rich experience and superior skills to resolve Zhang Guan's attack and won the point. The two sides were tied again.
"Perhaps we can try the method used to deal with Davydenko." Zhang Guan changed his tactics on the next ball, constantly seeking stability and preparing for a long round.
Federer used several accurate forehand sidelines to break Zhang Guan's intention. The two sides held the ball for twelve shots. In the end, Federer won the point and the score came to 2-3.
It was Zhang Guan's turn to serve again. Zhang Guan did not need to be too conservative in his serve, but Federer adopted a defensive posture. After a ten-shot contest, Zhang Guan evened the score again.
After six balls in the tie-break, the two sides exchanged court, and Zhang Guan continued to serve.
"Federer's forehand is much stronger than that of Davydenko. When playing against Davydenko, I can easily hold out for more than 30 beats, but when playing against Federer, I have to hold out for more than 20 beats. This is not a good thing for Federer." , It’s not a serious drain. It seems that we still need to play more flexibly to force Federer to make more unforced errors.”
The four words "flexible and changeable" flashed in Zhang Guan's mind, and at the same time, Coach Zhang's teachings on "running and attacking" also appeared in his mind.
…
"Although this set of tactics is based on running, running well can only be regarded as mastering this set of tactics. If you use this set of tactics well, you also need to have flexible tactics. .”
"Tennis is not a set of tactics that only look at the body. It is more about being used here." Coach Zhang pointed to his head and continued: "It is more about relying on the brain. You must always pay attention to the current situation and analyze the situation. The opponent’s intentions must be accurately judged for each ball, and then targeted counterattacks can be made.”
"When you are able to use this set of tactics skillfully, you will know how to constantly change your tactics according to the situation on the spot. The change I mean is not a passive change, but an active change that you make through changes in tactics. Put yourself in an advantageous situation, then accumulate the advantages and turn them into the final victory!"
…
Zhang Guan returned to reality from his thoughts of memories. At this time, he finally realized the meaning of "flexibility" mentioned by coach Zhang.
"I use running and attacking tactics. If I am dealing with ordinary athletes, maybe as long as I run more aggressively and change the offensive and defensive rhythm, I can easily win. But facing Federer, just doing this is not enough. I also need to add on-the-spot tactics. It takes a transformation.”
On the next ball, Zhang Guan suppressed the forehand after serving, and then forcibly increased the rhythm of the ball by catching the ball in advance, but suddenly turned a slow ball, catching Federer off guard. Zhang Guan temporarily led 4-3. lead.
"Not only has the offensive and defensive rhythm changed, but also the tactics have begun to change? If it is just a change in the offensive and defensive rhythm, it will be easier for me to adapt; if it is purely a flexible and changeable tactics, I can handle it; but the offensive and defensive rhythm Along with the changes, there are also flexible tactics, which are difficult to cope with." Federer's expression became more solemn than ever, and he knew that the next game would become extremely difficult.
Federer's attention became unprecedentedly focused. He eliminated distracting thoughts. At this time, he only had the game in his mind.
4-4, 4-5, 5-5, 6-5, 6-6, after five balls, the two sides exchanged venues again.
…
In the players' lounge of the stadium, Nadal was arranging his equipment and looking at the TV on the wall. He was also paying attention to this game, because the winner of this game will be Nadal's opponent in the final. , and Nadal feels that no matter whether Federer or Zhang Guan advances, they will be a difficult opponent.
It goes without saying that Federer and Nadal are old enemies; and Zhang Guan’s mobility is not inferior to Nadal’s, which makes Nadal very afraid. With the same flexible footsteps, Zhang Guan has faster Movement speed and stronger explosive power, which can exert their greatest power on the French Open clay court, make Nadal feel that Zhang Guan is more difficult to deal with than Federer.
At this moment in the tie-break, Nadal had stopped what he was doing and was staring at the TV intently. The current score is 6-6. As long as any player wins by two goals, he can win this set. At this time, the game becomes more intense and exciting.
The camera gave a close-up of Federer, who was also preparing to serve.
"Federer is so focused!" Nadal said suddenly. Invisibly, Nadal felt even more pressure.
"It's rare to see such a focused Federer. It seems that Federer has performed at 100% of his ability. Perhaps, he will perform beyond his level. Can Zhang Guan still be able to withstand it?"
On the next ball, Federer served an ACE ball. This was also the first ACE ball Federer served in this game, and the score became 7-6.
…
"ACE!" The referee's voice reached Zhang Guan's ears.
"As expected of Federer, he can still hit an ace ball at such a tense moment!" Zhang Guan looked at Federer with some admiration, but found that Federer's extremely serious expression gave off a strong fighting spirit, and Zhang Guan could also feel it , Federer's temperament is completely different from before. At this time, Federer was the "King of Tennis" in his heyday!
The next moment, Zhang Guan suddenly felt his blood boiling.
He has dozens of world championship titles, he has broken dozens of records, the blood of a champion flows in his bones, and his mind is filled with the belief that he must win!
Facing a Federer who was in full swing and a Federer who was full of fighting spirit, the desire for victory in Zhang Guan's heart was extremely strong, and the "heart of a king" that had been latent for a long time began to beat again.
He is the "king" in track and field, and now he wants to be the "king" in tennis! And the "King of Tennis" is standing in front of him now, so he wants to knock him down!
Zhang Guan threw the ball and swung his racket, hitting hard. A bolt of yellow lightning flew across the red court. Amidst the silence of the audience, the referee's voice was unusually clear and loud.
"ACE!"
