"Federer lost to Zhang Guan and missed the French Open final":
Although the Swiss King Federer has won countless honors in today's tennis, Roland Garros (the venue of the French Open) will always be the place he yearns for most, because the French Open is the only Grand Slam event that he has not won. After losing to Zhang Guan in the French Open final, Federer lost to Zhang Guan again in today's semi-finals. The French Open final lasted 2 hours and 48 minutes. Although Federer tried his best, he was still unable to withstand Zhang Guan's powerful attack and eventually lost 0-3 and missed the final.
After the game, the Swiss King admitted that the game with Zhang Guan was a physical battle: "I think this is a very physical game. It is extremely difficult to score from the first ball of the game. Each game takes a long time. . I had expected that this situation would happen, so I was prepared for a hard fight. I felt pretty good at the time, which was a good thing for me. But unfortunately, Zhang Guan’s mobility is really too strong, and this is also After the game started, I felt the reason why the game was difficult. Zhang Guan performed better than me today, he played very tenaciously."
The Swiss king has promised to make a comeback next year, so that he will continue to be full of fantasies and expectations for his career: "I am still one short of a French Open championship. If I finally win today, or have reached the top here last year, then I will lack something in my career. Many goals to keep chasing. Just like the French Open championship, it always attracts me. If one day I finally get this honor, then the feeling will be even sweeter. I keep giving myself more opportunities, again and again for the French Open I work hard to win the championship. I know I can do it, I am sure of it. I have completed my excellent French Open, this result is not unacceptable to me, I feel fine now."
Comparing this year's Australian Open final, the Swiss King had a lot of feelings: "I don't know how I feel about the Australian Open, but I also think I will be disappointed, maybe only for 5 minutes. I returned to the locker room today, feeling a little disappointed and disappointed . Of course the worst part is when other people keep encouraging me and saying they are proud of me and losing is just bad luck.”
When asked whether he could forget his French Open defeat when he was about to go to Wimbledon, Federer thought there was no problem: "Once you step on the grass, all the unpleasantness of the past will be left behind. Winning the game is naturally happy, but losing is You'd better forget about it as soon as possible after the ball. I'm very excited about the upcoming grass court tournament, which is a great opportunity for me to get back on my feet. I hope to win a fifth consecutive championship at Wimbledon, which will be incredible if that happens. legend. I hope I can create such opportunities and hope to achieve good results at Wimbledon."
Federer is working hard to get out of the shadow of defeat, because the next grass-court event will be Federer's specialty. He will try his best to get out of the shadow of failure. Wish him good luck.
Coach Zhang handed the newspaper to Zhang Guan and then said: "It seems that Federer knows exactly where he lost."
"To be honest, Federer was in really good shape yesterday. When the first set reached 7-7, I really doubted whether I could win." Zhang Guan said.
"Federer's condition is indeed very good. I think Federer's condition at that moment should have reached its peak! However, a tennis match lasts two or three hours, and it is impossible for an athlete to maintain his performance for such a long time. He was in a state of excitement, so in the third set, Federer's game state had obviously begun to decline." Coach Zhang pointed to the newspaper and continued: "Federer seems to want to use Wimbledon to heal his injury, but I think , in Wimbledon, he may lose more cleanly, Wimbledon is a grass field, the more proactive and offensive the style of play, the more powerful he will be able to show at Wimbledon!"
Coach Zhang opened his laptop and continued: "Don't talk about Federer now. The game is over anyway. Let's talk about your next opponent, Rafael Nadal."
