Nadal is undoubtedly the player who pursues the most spin in tennis in the world. His forehand spin speed is twice as fast as that of ordinary professional players. Because of this, Nadal's forehand shot is known as the best in the world. The most difficult forehand to hit.
Nadal has never encountered an opponent whose forehand spin speed is as powerful as his own. Even the forehand top spin that "Tennis King" Federer is proud of is still a few points weaker than Nadal in terms of ball spin speed.
However, Zhang Guan today's forehand spin speed was no less than Nadal's.
"What a strong topspin!" Nadal was shocked. He had already judged from the height of the ball's bounce after it hit the ground that it was a topspin with extremely high rotation speed. At the same time, he also felt an extremely familiar feeling.
Of course Nadal will feel familiar, because this high-speed spinning ball is Nadal's signature. He has defeated countless opponents with this trick, but he never thought that someone would use the same trick against him.
Nadal swung the racket to hit the ball, but when the racket made contact with the tennis ball, his expression changed slightly.
"It feels so hard to control!" Nadal noticed a floating feeling coming from the racket. He tried hard to suppress the racket, but he still couldn't guarantee that the tennis ball would fly as he intended.
"It turns out that this kind of high-speed spinning topspin will make the receiver so uncomfortable!" Nadal sighed secretly in his heart.
Although Nadal knew that it was uncomfortable to catch such a high-speed ball, he had never experienced it himself, because no one except Nadal could hit such a high-speed ball. Now, Nadal finally feels what his opponents feel.
"No wonder everyone says my topspin ball is very difficult to catch." With such a fast-spinning ball, even Nadal himself cannot guarantee that he can return a high-quality ball.
30-15, Zhang Guan took the lead, and then Zhang Guan used his forehand to hit a topspin ball with a high spinning speed. After several consecutive shots, he scored another point and rewritten the score to 40-15. .
Zhang Guan, who was preparing to serve again, was secretly delighted. He found that this tactic was very effective against Nadal.
"Although Nadal is famous for his high-speed spinning forehand, it turns out that he himself can't catch this kind of ball. This is his unique skill, but he can't crack it himself. But think about it, who would be idle every day? Thinking about cracking his own trick? There is no second Nadal in the world. I guess Nadal is still studying how to defeat Federer on weekdays!"
Zhang Guan continued to serve, and it was still his continuous forehand suppression that created offensive opportunities. In the end, Zhang Guan successfully won the game and took a temporary lead of 2-1 in the first set.
However, Zhang Guan also knew that this kind of lead was of little significance. The key was to find a way to break Nadal's serve. Even just one break of serve was enough to win the first set.
In the fourth game, Nadal's touch became warmer, the quality of his serve improved, and his running became more and more active. The only thing that remained unchanged was the high-speed rotation, which still made it impossible for Zhang Guan to catch the ball comfortably. . Nadal also successfully maintained his serve in this game, and the score was tied at 2-2.
In the fifth and sixth games, both players played steadily and successfully maintained their respective serves without making any major mistakes. The score reached 3-3.
At this time, the situation became a little strange. Both players used high-speed topspin on their forehands to attack the opponent's backhand. They gained an advantage in the situation through continuous suppression and forced their opponents to find flaws. This tactic is obviously very safe, especially when both sides are playing high-speed rotating balls.
In this way, the first eight games were spent in a stalemate, and the score in the first game was tied at 4-4.
…
In front of the TV, Federer was also paying attention to this game. At this time, he was holding a large plate of cut fruit and smiling happily while eating.
"Don't laugh when you're eating, you'll choke." Milka kindly reminded her.
"I really can't help it! Nadal finally got a taste of this." Federer said happily.
Milka's face was full of doubts, and Federer went on to explain: "The high-speed spinning forehand is Nadal's unique skill. Before this, no other player in the world could achieve Nadal's powerful forehand spin, but The top spin speed of Zhang Guan's forehand shot is not inferior to Nadal's, which is equivalent to using Nadal's unique skills to deal with Nadal. I think Nadal must have a headache now, how to deal with his own unique skills!"
"But the score between the two does not seem to be widened. It seems that the two sides are evenly matched. Nadal can't find a good way to deal with Zhang Guan's high-speed spinning topspin, and Zhang Guan also has no way to deal with Nadal's hitting. They This can only protect the serve." Milka said.
"The situation will change. I think the situation will change soon." Federer continued: "Zhang Guan should not have used his mobility to the extreme. Nadal should also have reservations. The current score is 4 -4, I think in the next two games, both sides will choose to fight hard!"
…
Nadal looked at the score of 4-4 on the scoreboard, his expression looked dull, but he was formulating game tactics in his mind.
"The current score is 4-4. If we protect the serve, the score will be 5-5, then 6-6, and then it will be a tie-break. This is not the result I want. But if I If I can break serve, the score will be 5-4. Then I only need to keep my serve to win the first set!" Nadal squeezed the racket hard and said to himself: "In this case, This game is a fight!”
In the ninth game, at the beginning of the game, Nadal played extremely aggressively. He ran very actively and very fast. For clay court, as long as he runs fast enough and actively, it means that the defense will be very good. powerful.
This is Zhang Guan's serve. Nadal needs strong defense. The stronger the defense, the more opportunities Nadal can create to break serve.
Nadal suddenly increased the intensity of his defense, but Zhang Guan was a little uncomfortable. In the blink of an eye, the score in this game changed to 40-30, but it was not Zhang Guan who was in the lead, but Nadal.
"The situation is a bit passive!" Zhang Guan felt that Nadal played very hard in this round.
But Zhang Guan is not impatient. In the French Open, what the laggards need most is not a stormy counterattack, but a calm mind and perseverance. What's more, this is Zhang Guan's serve, and he already has an advantage.
Zhang Guan raised his hand to serve, and in the subsequent counterattack, he also strengthened his movement.
The two sides played a 27-round long shot. Zhang Guan had been in the upper hand since serving, but still could not knock down Nadal. Nadal showed great fighting spirit in this shot, and with his powerful His mobility and ability to always save the ball. Zhang Guan also relied on his strong mobility to once again give Nadal a heavy blow.
In the end, Zhang Guan won the goal through continuous accumulation of advantages. The score reached 40-40. The two sides came to the same starting line. Next, one side needs to achieve two goal differences to win the game. .
…
Nadal looked at Zhang Guan on the opposite side. From the ball just now, Nadal also felt that Zhang Guan had also improved his speed and movement. This also meant that Zhang Guan's defensive intensity had also been greatly improved. .
"Zhang Guan has also begun to work hard. His speed is no worse than mine, and his explosive power is even stronger than mine. Maybe I should be prepared for a protracted war!"
