When mentioning Nadal, Zhang Guan immediately put on a serious face. He knew that Coach Zhang was probably going to arrange tactics.
"How much do you know about Nadal?" Coach Zhang asked first.
Zhang Guan thought for a while and replied: "His forehand spin is very strong, better than Federer's; his mobility is excellent, he moves very fast, and his steps are very flexible; and he has good physical strength."
Coach Zhang nodded: "As expected, you don't have a deep understanding of Nadal, so let me explain Nadal to you in detail. Let's start with the serve. In the past, Nadal's first serve was very slow and excessive. The pursuit of spin has made Nadal's serve always criticized, but in the past two years he has improved this shortcoming, so his first serve is no less threatening than Federer, but Nadal's second serve is not strong, although it is still He has strong spin, but is not fast and cannot be considered as a top player. This is one of his weaknesses."
"Nadal's forehand can be regarded as the most perfect forehand in today's tennis. It is not only extremely accurate, but also has extremely strong spin. Once Nadal chooses to attack the backhand, then for one-handed backhand players, It will be more difficult to catch the ball. Generally speaking, Nadal's forehand changes are not as good as Federer's, but his power is not inferior to Federer's."
"In terms of backhand, since Nadal has a two-handed backhand, his backhand can be said to be a powerful weapon for him. It has accurate placement and also has high spin. The only problem is that his backhand is not fast enough. With your With the speed, it shouldn't be too hard to catch the ball, which might be good news for you."
"In terms of receiving the serve, Nadal is used to standing further back than the baseline, which makes it more difficult to receive some serves that land at the front point, but his strong mobility can make up for this, and he is very good at receiving the serve. He often pursues speed, especially when his opponent is on his second serve, Nadal often makes some winning returns."
"In front of the net, Nadal is almost as good as the top net players. He is very powerful, but his ability to control the ball is very strong. His volleys in front of the net rarely go out of bounds because they hit too deep. And high-pressure balls On the other hand, Nadal is also perfect. His high-pressure ball is very distinctive, with precise placement, fast speed, and spin. This is the same as his serve, and may be more lethal than the serve."
"The last point is mobility. Whether it is the speed of movement, flexibility of footsteps, or use of steps, Nadal is the best in the history of tennis. Coupled with his abundant physical fitness, I think among the current professional tennis players, Nadal is the best in the history of tennis. Only you can compete with Nadal on this."
Coach Zhang stopped after speaking, waiting for Zhang Guan to consume what he just said.
Zhang Guan felt that Coach Zhang had missed something, so he asked: "What about chip shots and high-pressure shots?"
"Players with two-handed backhands basically don't need to slice or drop the ball." Coach Zhang continued: "Next, I want to remind you of two points. First, Nadal uses a two-handed backhand; second, Nadal It’s a left-hand shot.”
"You have encountered players with two-handed backhands before, such as Nalbandian. Nadal's backhand is not weaker than Nalbandian, but as I said just now, his backhand is not fast. This is not good for you. It's not that threatening. But Nadal's forehand may cause some trouble for you. You are shooting with your right hand, so your backhand is just facing his forehand, and he can use his forehand to attack more easily. To your backhand, that means your backhand may be attacked by Nadal's high-spinning ball." Coach Zhang said while gesturing with his hands.
"I can also use my forehand to attack his backhand!" Zhang Guan said.
"Of course, but don't forget, Nadal uses a two-handed backhand, so it is much easier for him to catch the ball with his backhand, and Nadal's backhand still has a high spin, while you use a forehand backhand and catch the ball with one hand. It is much more difficult than catching the ball with both hands." Coach Zhang then explained: "Nadal is not left-handed, but he has used a left-handed racket since he learned tennis, so his backhand has extremely strong spin."
…
Sharapova handed the latest newspaper to Zhang Guan, and then said: "Before the Australian Open match, everyone still didn't think highly of you. The latest survey shows that 93% of the audience are optimistic that Nadal will win three consecutive French Open titles." .”
Zhang Guan looked carefully and saw that in addition to public surveys, there were also comments from some experts.
Gottfried: "In my opinion, no one can beat Nadal. His powerful returns make it difficult for opponents to control the game. Only running all over the court can turn Nadal back over the net, and this Undoubtedly, it requires a lot of physical energy and energy. It is only a matter of time before Zhang Guan surrenders. Facing Nadal, Federer cannot let up any slack, because Nadal has put pressure on his opponent from the first point of the game, and this pressure will That lasts until the end of the game.”
Febako: "This will be a festival in the tennis world. It may just be a wish to win the championship. In the semifinals with Federer, Federer almost exhausted all his tricks. I can say with certainty that if he still wins in the semifinals, If he appears in the finals in the same state, the finals will be a difficult torture for him. Zhang Guan must strengthen his rotation, choose a good return route, and take risks! These will not be easy. And Nadal has never Neither will give points to his opponents easily, and Nadal can control the rhythm at critical moments. Nadal's only weakness is that his returns are not deep enough, and opponents can effectively take advantage of his strong topspin. In the game, Nadal People tend to get stronger when they are strong.”
Balemi: "I hope Nadal can win. He is fully capable of winning this match. This is the second time I have said this, he will be stronger this year than last year. Nadal is the best player in the world . Many people are talking about Nadal’s upcoming three consecutive French Open titles, but in my opinion, Nadal is very likely to win four or five consecutive titles!”
These are all well-known tennis commentators in Europe. Most of them are unanimously optimistic about Nadal. Except for a few neutral incidents, they are not optimistic about Zhang Guan winning the championship.
Zhang Guan was a little angry. He said: "I was still a newbie in tennis at the last Australian Open, but now I am also an Australian Open champion and have defeated Federer twice. Why are you still not optimistic about me? Is it because of discrimination? ?”
"It probably has nothing to do with discrimination." Sharapova shook her head and continued: "I think it's because everyone doesn't like spoilers."
"Spoiler? Are you referring to me?" Zhang Guan asked, pointing at himself.
Sharapova acted like "I'm talking about you" and then said: "Nadal has won the French Open twice in a row. Do you know how many people in the world expect him to win three consecutive championships? Federer is one French Open away from winning the Grand Slam. Do you know how many people in the world expect him to win the Grand Slam?"
"What does this have to do with me?" Zhang Guan asked dully.
"People believe that this final should have been a duel between Federer and Nadal. If Federer wins, he will win the Grand Slam, and if Nadal wins, he will become the winner of three consecutive French Open titles. Whether it is a Grand Slam , or the three consecutive French Open titles, all have special significance. But because of your appearance, you defeated Federer in the semi-finals, and the match that everyone was looking forward to was ruined! So now Federer's fans must hate you. It’s to the bone, and it’s impossible for Nadal’s fans to give you a good look,” Sharapova said.
"It sounds like I am really a spoiler!" Zhang Guan laughed, and then said: "If you want to be a spoiler, then you must be the best spoiler! Maybe I will be one step ahead of Federer Get a Grand Slam!”
