Who can stop Zhang Guan at Wimbledon? This topic was brought up again, and fans began to discuss it enthusiastically. In the end, almost all fans remembered the same name - Roger Federer!
"I think only Federer can defeat Zhang Guan at Wimbledon!"
"Who can defeat Zhang Guan? It must be Federer! But to be honest, I think it is unlikely that Federer will defeat Zhang Guan on grass courts. It is probably possible on hard courts."
"Federer may have hope of defeating Zhang Guan! But it's a pity that the two have to meet in the semi-finals early. I think if they can meet in the final, it will be a better result."
"Actually, I am more optimistic about Zhang Guan. Zhang Guan's playing style in front of the net is similar to that of Sampras back then. This is why I am optimistic about him."
"The next game is the semi-finals. Zhang Guan's match against Federer should be regarded as an early stage of the final! I think whoever wins between them can win the final championship. And Nadal and Djokovic? This is grassland after all, and I don’t think a defensive player like Nadal will be a match for Zhang Guan or Federer. As for Djokovic, he is too young!”
Zhang Guan looked at the interview with the fans on the TV, smiled slightly, and said: "Too young? Djokovic is only less than one year younger than me!"
"Today's professional tennis is really full of people! Players are getting younger and younger. Among this year's Wimbledon semi-finals, only Federer is 26 years old, you and Nadal are both 21 years old, and Djokovic is only 20 years old . It’s unimaginable that a group of young men in their early twenties would appear in a Grand Slam semi-final!" Coach Zhang sighed and continued: "In the era when I played, players generally had to be 25 years old. Results will come later.”
"You have the nerve to say that!" Zhang Guan joked: "Others can use youth as an excuse, but you, the coach, are the only ones who don't have the qualifications. Don't forget who is the youngest Grand Slam champion in the world!"
Coach Zhang suddenly smiled awkwardly. He participated in the US Open at the age of fifteen and was only seventeen when he won the French Open. This record has not been broken yet. So, Coach Zhang is indeed not qualified to comment on the players’ growing success. The younger.
Coach Zhang changed the topic and then said: "Tomorrow's semi-finals, don't take it lightly. Although you have defeated Federer twice in a row, Federer in Wimbledon is very strong. Although he does not have the same kind of tennis skills as you method, but his serve and backhand slice can be extremely powerful in Wimbledon. Coupled with his precise forehand, perhaps in Wimbledon, the power of Federer's style of play is not inferior to yours. Playing at the net.”
"I understand, after all, Federer has won four consecutive Wimbledon titles. Four years ago, the not very mature Federer was already able to dominate Wimbledon. Now that Federer has become more powerful, I will be careful." Zhang Guan spoke.
…
The semi-final between Zhang Guan and Federer is regarded as the pinnacle battle of this year's Wimbledon. The level of the two players on the grass court is far superior to that of other players. It is almost certain that no matter who they are, Anyone who reaches the finals can win the Musketeers Cup.
The semi-finals started on July 7. The two semi-finals were held simultaneously on two courts. The match between Zhang Guan and Federer was arranged on the center court.
After a short warm-up, the match between the two sides officially began, starting with Zhang Guan’s serve.
Federer was still slow to warm up and did not show a strong will to resist in Zhang Guan's serve game, nor was he very resistant, allowing Zhang Guan to win the first game relatively easily.
Zhang Guan realized that Federer was a little slow, so he stepped up his attack in the second set, hoping to break serve first when Federer was not in hot form. However, Federer relied on his experienced experience to hold on after a deuce. In the service game, the two sides tied 1-1.
In the subsequent third game, Federer's condition improved slightly, but it was still difficult to make a difference in Zhang Guan's serve. After Zhang Guan's serve, the score reached 2-1.
In the subsequent fourth game, Federer's first-serve success rate suddenly dropped. He could only rely on changes in baseline rhythm and attacks on the net to maintain his serve. However, this became precarious with Zhang Guan frequently hitting the net.
"I didn't expect that Federer fell into a passive position at the beginning!" The commentator continued: "Federer is still a little slow to warm up, but Zhang Guan's sharp attack obviously did not intend to leave Federer a chance to warm up. Now Zhang Guan has obtained the break point. "
Following the commentator's words, Zhang Guan took the lead in getting the break point at 40-30.
"ACE!" At the critical moment, the serve saved Federer. Federer's ACE ball made the score 40-40. But then, Federer made another mistake on his next serve. He chose to serve to the net on his second serve, but was perfectly resolved by Zhang Guan. Then Zhang Guan switched from defense to offense and took the lead.
At the critical moment, Federer once again tried to serve an ACE, but this time Federer's serve failed to help him. The ball went out of bounds. The referee did not make a penalty immediately, and Zhang Guan immediately chose to challenge Hawkeye.
Hawkeye showed that the ball was indeed out of bounds. Federer needed to serve again, and Federer once again chose to serve to the net. Zhang Guan chose a risky attack and finally succeeded.

"After five games, the score between the two sides is 4-1. This seems to be a relatively disparate score. Will Federer be like other players, unable to survive even 10 games? It seems that at Wimbledon, Really no one can stop Zhang Guan from moving forward, not even Federer."
Amid the boos from the commentators, the sixth game of both sides began. This was Federer's serve. Federer made no mistakes in this game and successfully kept serve, bringing the score to 4-2. However, Federer was unable to serve after that. Zhang Guan's serve was broken, allowing Zhang Guan to get the match point with a score of 5-2.

This was undoubtedly a great gift to Zhang Guan. Guan took advantage of this good opportunity to successfully break serve and won the first set with a score of 6-2.
…
"At the end of the first set, the score between the two sides was 6-2. Federer didn't seem to be in the match, but Zhang Guan got more and more courageous. The score was too disparate. I really didn't expect that Zhang Guan faced Federer in the first set. Winning the game is still so easy, it seems that for Zhang Guan, Federer is no different from other opponents."
At this moment, Federer walked towards the players' tunnel.
"What's going on? Federer walked into the tunnel! He left the game! Could it be that he was injured? Is Federer about to retire due to injury?"
