"Federer walked into the tunnel! Is he going to retire due to injury? No, Federer didn't pack his luggage. It looks like he just wants to go back to the locker room." The commentator breathed a sigh of relief.
Top tennis courts are equipped with independent locker rooms, and there are also independent toilets and bathrooms in the locker rooms. Generally speaking, players who ask to go back to the locker rooms during the game basically need to go to the bathroom for convenience. This kind of request is allowed during the game, and of course there will be dedicated staff following the players at all times.
Perhaps because of a trip to the locker room, Federer calmed down a lot after losing the first set. In the following second set, Federer regained his courage. In his first four serve games, Federer surged out. Eleven ACE balls, including a love-game played by Zhang Guan in one game. On average, Federer has nearly four aces in each service game, which is definitely an excellent statistic.
Fortunately, Zhang Guan still maintained a relatively good touch. Although he faced Federer's strong attack and there were several dangerous moments during the period, Zhang Guan still maintained his serve in every game. The two sides fought to a 4-4 in the first eight games. 4 square meters.
On the surface, the two sides appear to be of equal strength, but Federer knows that he cannot maintain such a strong offensive all the time, with eleven aces in four service games. In addition to his own strength, there is also an element of luck involved. You can't expect to have such good luck in every game.
In Federer's next service game, Zhang Guan began to use the backhand technique of receiving the serve in a straight line. This often forced Federer, who was accustomed to standing on the baseline, to actively run back and forth between two opposite corners to receive the ball. Yes, it was Zhang Guan who timely hit the net and built an interception posture in front of the net. Federer had to speed up his counterattacks even though his pace was not yet fully in place. However, the result was an increase in his own mistakes. The ratio of nets to outs is quite high.
Zhang Guan's tactic is to use running to change the offensive and defensive rhythm. At Wimbledon, this change of offensive and defensive rhythm will be faster. Coupled with volleying before the net, even Federer seems to be in a hurry. He struggled to hold his next serve, bringing the score to 5-5.
Next, Zhang Guan began to add a backhand pass with a highly concealed backspin slice. This kind of backspin often took Federer off the court. At the same time, it was difficult for Federer to return the ball with a high landing point. The result was a direct interception by Bai Zhangguan in the half. Through this change, Zhang Guan once again broke serve.
7-5 was the score of the second set between the two sides. The second set was more difficult and more exciting than the first set. Compared with the 6-2 in the first set, it seemed that Zhang Guan no longer had such a big advantage. , but in fact Federer knew that he was not far away from losing. Federer had shown all his weapons, but he was still no match for Zhang Guan. This also meant that in the next third set , Federer will still lose the game.
"The change in the rhythm of receiving the serve is more rapid and obvious on the grass court. My movement speed can't keep up, so I forcefully return the ball before my pace is fully in place, which actually increases the chance of making a mistake. Zhang Guan completely copied Sampras's net play, and his mobility is better than Sampras, and his attacks are more ferocious. He is only 21 years old this year. It is estimated that no one can play in front of the net in ten years. Beat him on grass!" Federer sighed.
…
At this time, the other semi-final match was over. Nadal defeated Djokovic and advanced to the final. The score between the two sides was 1-1. This dramatic score was due to Djokovic's failure midway. Retired due to injury.
Originally, Djokovic's situation was great. He won the first set 6-3. However, Djokovic originally played with injuries. In the second set, he lost 1 to 1 due to injury. He lost to Nadal with a -6 disparity, and then had to withdraw from the match due to deterioration in the third set. It can be said that Nadal was very lucky to enter the Wimbledon final.
After the game, Nadal immediately rushed to the center court to watch the match between Zhang Guan and Federer. He hoped to know immediately who his opponent would be in tomorrow's final, and what his opponent's current state was.
Nadal walked quickly into the center court, but he immediately looked at the scoreboard.
"Zhang Guan is already leading 2-0, and the score in the third set is even 4-1! How could this happen? Is even Federer so vulnerable in front of Zhang Guan?"
…
In the third set of the contest between the two sides, Zhang Guan still used the previous tactics, and Federer still failed to find a way to deal with it. In Federer's first service game, Zhang Guan once led 40-0. Although Federer worked hard to save two break points, Zhang Guan still seized the third break point and successfully broke serve.
"Federer is helpless!" Nadal sighed. In Nadal's view, Federer was tactically restrained by Zhang Guan and physically not as strong as Zhang Guan, so he really couldn't find a comeback point.
But at this time, Federer chose to change his tactics. He reduced the use of backhand slices and instead began to use a large number of forehand attacks, forcing Zhang Guan to catch the ball at the baseline. This sudden change in tactics made Zhang Guan temporarily Despite some discomfort, Federer not only maintained his serve, but even got a break point.
At this moment, even Nadal felt that Federer had "resurrected" on the edge of the cliff.
But after all, Zhang Guan broke serve first. This was his advantage. Even if both sides protected the serve, Federer would lose the set and the game. This forced Federer to You have to attack, and you need to attack in Zhang Guan's serve, so that you can have a chance to equalize the score.
Federer also made this choice, but in Zhang Guan's serve game, Federer was already at a disadvantage. Launching a strong attack at a disadvantage is itself a matter of high error rate.
It was at this time that Zhang Guan's strong serve showed off again, with two consecutive ACE balls, which directly put Federer's dream of counterattack in vain.
Facing this scoreboard, Federer sighed with regret. His dream of five consecutive Wimbledon titles was ended at this moment by Zhang Guan.
The final score of the third set between the two sides was 6-3. Zhang Guan swept Federer and successfully advanced to the Wimbledon final.
…
"Zhang Guan won again! We congratulate Zhang Guan for successfully entering the final! This time the match with Federer ended with Zhang Guan's complete victory. Even Federer only gave Zhang Guan a victory in the second set. Zhang Guan just caused a little trouble. On the Wimbledon court, Zhang Guan is really too strong. Someone has asked before, who can stop Zhang Guan's progress? But now we can give the answer, in this world , No one can stop Zhang Guan!" The commentator emphasized his tone, and then said: "No one can stop him!"
