On June 10, at 2 p.m. Paris time, the final and most important match of the year's French Open, the final of the men's singles, was held at the Philippe Châtier Stadium.

At this time, the domestic time is 9 o'clock in the evening, although the time is slightly late, but it is a weekend night, plus it is Zhang Guan's game, so there are still many spectators waiting in front of the TV, waiting to watch this game.

When Nadal entered the stadium, the audience immediately gave him a warm applause, and they greeted the "king" of the French Open with cheers, and the red and yellow Spanish flags around the court were particularly prominent.

When Zhang Guan appeared, the applause and cheers were much smaller, Zhang Guan looked around the stands, and instantly found several five-star red flags, which made Zhang Guan's heart feel much more calm.

"Sure enough, Nadal is really welcome here. Zhang Guan could feel the gap between himself and Nadal from the audience's voices.

Two years ago, at the age of 19, Nadal played in the French Open for the first time, defeating Federer in the semi-finals, defeating Argentina's Mariano Puerta in the final, and winning his first Grand Slam title.

And now, Nadal has two French Open titles in his hand, and he is here again, and the former son of the French Open, today's king of clay, has come to the place where he was crowned, and it seems natural to achieve the hegemony of the French Open "three consecutive championships".

The passionate shouts of the romantic French fans set the whole stadium on fire, making the heat in the stadium continue to heat up. There was a pre-tournament suffocation in the air, and just as the spectators were about to reach their limits, the game finally began.

Almost the entire audience was cheering and cheering for Nadal, and today's Phillip Stadium has become Nadal's home stadium, I wonder if this will cause psychological pressure for Zhang Guan, who is participating in the French Open final for the first time. However, Zhang Guan has a lot of experience in major tournaments, and I think his mental quality should be very strong! Okay, Zhang Guanshu serves first!" The commentator's voice suddenly paused, and two seconds later, Zhang Guan started the first serve of the match.

Tennis balls fly over the net. Then he was touched out of bounds by Nadal.

"Serve to score!" It seems that my previous worries were unnecessary, Zhang Guan was not affected by the atmosphere on the court!" the commentator began.

Next, Zhang Guan continued to serve, and after three beats of hold, Zhang Guan made a large range of forehand transfers and scored another point.

However, Nadal obviously did not rush to chase this ball, but symbolically ran two steps and stopped.

It was the first game of the game between the two sides, after all. Facing an opponent of Zhang Guan's level, Nadal, as a receiver, did not plan to break serve in the first game, but mainly warmed up, so there was no need to chase every ball. After all, tennis requires a lot of running. There are also a lot of big moves to make during the game, and if you don't warm up enough, you can still easily get injured.

Zhang Guan also needs to warm up, although he is a track and field athlete. Especially the king of sprinting events, the body is bound to not heat up slowly, so the warm-up time is much less. He can get into the game faster.

In the first game, when the score came to 40-0, Nadal gradually began to find his form, and after he pulled the score to 40-15, he finally conceded a goal, and Zhang Guan temporarily led 1-0.

In the second game between the two sides, Nadal's form continued to pick up, although he did not send an ace, nor did he serve to score directly, but the perfect forehand with the initiative to attack, he still won his own serve game relatively easily, and the two sides drew 1-1.

After two rounds, although the score of the two sides is 1-1, both sides know that the real game has just begun, the first two games, for the players on both sides, can be said to be a warm-up process, can also be said to be a process of testing each other, and then, the real fierce confrontation officially began.

At the beginning of the third game, Zhang Guan took the lead and scored with an ace, but then on the second ball, Zhang Guan encountered strong resistance from Nadal.

Nadal didn't choose a landing spot close to the edge, he still hit the ball in a steady direction, but Nadal increased the spin of the ball, and the tennis ball with a powerful topspin always bounced high when it landed. While Zhang Guan hit back with a forehand, he felt that the ball was so uncomfortable to catch.

"This ball is so hard to control!" Zhang Guan still underestimated the spin of Nadal's forehand, and the return ball was a little short, and Nadal seized the opportunity to counterattack.

This is Nadal's forehand, which will always make the opponent very uncomfortable. Even if it's not fast, even if it doesn't have a tricky landing point, it will definitely have the strongest spin in the world.

I saw Nadal swing his forehand, and the tennis ball flew directly to Zhang Guan's backhand. The quality of Nadal's play is very good, and it is very comfortable for Nadal, who is left-handed, to use his forehand to attack Zhang Guan's backhand.

"The spin is still strong!" Zhang Guan already felt this. This ball, Nadal is a two-handed forehand hit, and Zhang Guan is a one-handed backhand shot, which must be a loss in terms of strength, if you choose the conventional method of receiving the ball, it is easy to make mistakes, so Zhang Guan simply came to borrow force, a backhand cutting ball, and hit the ball back into the net.

Zhang Guan did use a backhand cut, and his choice was the same as Federer's. Nadal was happy, and that was the result he wanted to face the most.

When Nadal and Federer played each other before, when Nadal attacked Federer's backhand with a forehand, Federer would make the same choice and use a backhand cut, which seemed like a reasonable response. But on clay, Nadal has always found a way to use his forehand to create more attacking opportunities against Federer's backhand.

So at this time, Nadal was also familiar with this backhand cut, and he directly chose to press forward continuously, won this ball, and pulled the score of the third game to 15-15.

……

"My backhand is right against Nadal's forehand, it's too much of a loss to play like this!" Zhang Guan thought for a moment and decided to rely on his forehand to deal with Nadal.

This time, Zhang Guan chose to shoot back with a forehand after serving, and the place of the attack was also Nadal's backhand.

Nadal held the racket with both hands and returned the ball to Zhang Guan, the ball was not fast and did not fall deeply, but from these two points, it was a good catch.

However, Zhang Guan remembered the coach's warning, Nadal's backhand still has a strong spin, so even if the ball is not deep enough to look easy to catch, Zhang Guan is still cautious.

Sure enough, Nadal's backhand still had a strong spin, and when the ball hit the ground, the height of the bounce made Zhang Guan confirm this.

"Don't think you're the only one who can hit high spin!" Zhang Guan volleyed hard, and this time, he was also ready to use topspin against Nadal.

The tennis ball leaped over the net, and Nadal moved nimbly to the spot where he received the ball.

The next moment, the tennis ball bounced high and rushed directly at the top of Nadal's head.

"Upspin, what a topspin!" Nadal exclaimed.
