On November 26, the semi-finals began.

One of the bad things about the year-end finals is that the schedule is too dense, and one game is played every day.

Fortunately, Li Cai was not injured, otherwise his strength would definitely decline.

In the semifinals, Li Cai played against Ferrer, and Li Cai easily won the game 6:3, 6:2, defeated Ferrer and entered the final.

And the opponent in the final, as Li Cai expected, was the king Federer.

Seeing that Li Cai maintained his usual strong style in the year-end finals and swept the momentum of his opponents, many people felt that Federer wanted to defend the championship and become the champion of the year-end finals with the most times, surpassing Sampras and Rendell's idea, it is estimated that it will be very difficult.

Federer and Li Cai's fight is naturally world-renowned, both of them are offensive players, playing Fahua old and steady, but Federer's skills are more comprehensive and his defense is good, while Li Cai's attack is too strong, and he belongs to attacking and defending.

And the time of the game happened to be primetime, so as soon as the game began, the ratings of the sports channel skyrocketed, easily breaking the 3% mark and running towards 4%.

After a series of introductions and warm-ups, the match began, with Federer serving first.

"Steady and steady, less mistakes!" Federer muttered silently and began to serve.

Before the start of the year-end finals, Federer watched the video of Li Cai's game in the group stage and understood that the final opponent of the year-end finals this time would be Li Cai.

For Li Cai, a Chinese teenager who rises like a comet, Federer is still very concerned.

After all, it is impossible not to achieve such a high level at such a young age without being noticeable.

Federer sighed: "It's good to be young!" Unlike when he is about to get old, his physical condition and physical fitness have begun to decline, with Li Cai's condition, if he continues like this, it is estimated that he will dominate the tennis world for more than ten years.

For this reason, Federer naturally has to do his best, wanting to win a year-end finals championship and become the first person in history before his form declines badly.

After watching a large number of Li Cai's game videos, Federer found that Li Cai had a lot of offensive methods, but most of them were close to the net, basically a few back and forth, and rarely engaged in tug-of-war, playing dozens of back-and-forth fights.

Federer thinks that there are two results, one is that Li Cai's physical strength is not good, and he can only end the game quickly, once he falls into a tug-of-war and does not have enough physical strength, he will not be able to use such a strong attack, and he will be consumed alive. The second is to only specialize in pre-net techniques, and not very good at skills such as baseline matching, so basically not used.

Thinking about it, Federer feels that there are both factors, Li Cai is too young, and his physical strength is naturally inferior to himself, and he has entered the professional tennis world for a short time, so he is naturally not so comprehensive.

If it is Li Cai who has not been strengthened before, these weaknesses will naturally be there, but after the tennis ability value reaches 99, Li Cai's skills basically have no shortcomings, but the skill blessing makes Li Cai look very strong in offensive ability, so he will naturally ignore Li Cai's defense and think that it is not powerful.

In short, the current Li Cai, in addition to injury, only objective problems will lead to a decline in tennis ability, such as temperature and physical strength. In terms of tennis skills, Li Cai is almost impeccable.

After Federer served, he played steadily and steadily, and after more than ten consecutive beats, he scored one point first.

And Li Cai has always been slow to play in cold weather, so he naturally likes to play on the bottom line, and he doesn't have to lose so many points, and then he works hard to catch up.

"Federer started the game so steadily! And Li Cai is the same! Not in line with the style of these two people!" The CCTV commentator couldn't help but say. In the past, Federer and Li Cai were both known for their gorgeous attacks, but today's Federer's style of play has become extremely steady, as for Li Cai, he is also playing steadily and steadily, slowly warming up, which makes the audience who wants the two to attack each other very disappointed.

Second and third balls...... Federer is still the same, every shot is just right, not very unrestrained, not very conservative, it can be described as flawless.

15:O, 3o:o, 3o-:15, 4o:15, Federer then won the first round with a strong forehand.

The waves are not shocking, the two sides play in a decent manner, and they can't find anything very bright, which is the evaluation of many viewers on the first game.

Before the game, many people thought that the battle between the two offensive powerhouses was full of highlights and topics, it would be a collision between Mars and the earth, and the game would inevitably be very intense, but the first round of the game was different from what everyone imagined, and the fierce confrontation did not come.

Li Cai looked at Federer on the opposite side with some puzzlement, he also felt that Federer's style of play today was a little different from the past, and his playing seemed to be a little too stable, could it be that Federer was also afraid of the cold like himself?

"Federer is also going to delay until the tie-break? Playing so steadily, without any flaws, I have no chance even if I want to attack, the timing of the crossing ball is too good, it is like opening the eagle eye, grabbing a small flaw to hit, which forces me to play steadily!"

In Li Cai's own service game, Federer still chose to play steadily and steadily, and did not risk attacking at all, which made Li Cai easily save his game, and did not even use his skills in front of the net.

"In the first two games, the two players played 1-1. Judging from the situation of these two games, the players on both sides played relatively conservatively, probably because at the beginning of the game, the athletes had not yet entered the game state, and after all, it was the final, and it was normal to choose a steady style of play at the beginning. I think that when the players start to get into the competition, it will definitely bring us exciting battles. ”

The commentator began to try to defend the two players on the court, but it backfired, and after four consecutive sets, both players still played very steadily, both maintained their serves, and the score of the first set came to 3-3.

Six rounds are over.

But the crowd looked like they were in high spirits, and for six rounds, neither side played flashy attacks, except for some symbolic applause from the audience at the end of each round, the rest of the time was quiet. Television footage swept across the auditorium and was even able to capture some footage of the audience yawning.

Federer has always been known for his gorgeous offense, and Li Cai gives people the impression that he is a player with rich offensive means.

And after six rounds of warm-up, Li Cai's body also moved. Ready to attack, make a force, a wave, and send Federer away in the first game.
