Chapter 209: A Golden Slam One Step Away

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the mixed doubles match between Li Cai and Sister Na against Italy officially began. Fastest updates

In the first game, both sides firmly grasped their respective service games, although the Italian two cooperated tacitly, but under the strong personal strength of Li Cai and Sister Na, as well as the simple tactics suitable for the grass court, they basically won the first game easily 6:4 without cooperation.

This shocked the Italian team leader, who did not expect that the strength of the two of them would be so strong that they could win the tacit understanding and cooperation between doubles with their individual strength.

In the crucial second game, the two in Italy discussed it and decided to break through from Sister Na as soon as possible, after all, in the first game just now, Li Cai's personal strength was too strong, it can be said that it was invulnerable, and they didn't have a little temper when they suppressed, even if they cooperated tacitly, Li Cai's offensive was too strong, and they could always find the weak point between the two of them and fight back, which made them helpless but to find the weak Sister Na as a breakthrough.

At the beginning of the second game, the two people from opposite Italy began to storm the direction where Sister Na was, trying to find a breakthrough from her.

But after all, the doubles are played by two people, and they are eager to use Sister Na as a breakthrough, so they naturally reveal a lot of flaws.

On the contrary, in the second game, they lost too quickly, making it easier for Li Cai and them to win than in the first game.

The mixed doubles combination of Li Cai and Na Jie also surprised many people after they defeated the Italian duo.

Because this was completely won by personal strength, this also allowed Li Cai and their next opponents, Victoria Azarenka and Mienyi of Belarus.

The Belarusian mixed doubles team is very strong, not only with a high level of tacit understanding, but also with strong individual strength.

In his previous life, he was the ultimate mixed doubles champion, defeating the mixed doubles team formed by the British team Murray and winning the gold medal.

Although Mienyi in the Belarusian team is a person who is not strong in singles, his teammate Azarenka is the first Belarusian women's tennis player to win a Grand Slam singles championship, and has won the first place in the singles world rankings.

And Azarenka is not only good in singles, but also often participates in doubles competitions, and the highest ranking in doubles has reached seventh in the world.

…………

On August 4, at 10 o'clock in the morning, the Li Cai tennis singles quarterfinals began.

Li Cai and Tsonga's match, both of the technical characteristics are good at Wimbledon grass players, but Tsonga's luck is a little worse, in Wimbledon grass results are not good, but in the hard court of the Australian Open and the US Open results, 08 years of Australian Open, from an unseeded player to defeat Murray, Gasquet, Youzni, Nadal and other top tennis players, won the runner-up, can be said to be very awesome.

And Tsonga is an outlier, and it's rare to see a player like him who is both spectator and winning efficiency, well, except for Li Cai.

Tsonga's ability to serve and be practical enough to rank at the top of the ATP arena, especially on fast courts, he rarely gets too entangled with his opponents on the baseline, and usually relies on his first three shots to solve the problem, which is similar to Li Cai, but not as consistent as Li Cai.

In the first game, both sides held their serve firmly. Tsonga's strength on grass court is indeed very strong, and he is also very good at that kind of high-speed serve, which makes Tsonga's hold a lot easier, especially Tsonga's first serve scoring rate is very high, almost 80%, which makes the first 10 rounds of the game, the two sides tied 5:5.

This made many people think that Li Cai, because of yesterday's mixed doubles match, Li Cai's physical strength problems, Tsonga has a chance to win the match.

But in the crucial 11th round, Li Cai strengthened the spin of the ball, allowing Tsonga's forehand to make frequent mistakes in a straight line, which allowed Li Cai to successfully get a break, and then Li Cai successfully held serve in his own service game and won the first game 7-5.

In the second game, the two sides played a 4-4 draw in front of them, but in the end, in the ninth round, Tsonga's serve, Li Cai still took the lead to get a break point. Although Tsonga tried hard to save two break points, he was defeated by Li Cai on the third break point, and Li Cai also won the second game with a score of 6-4.

Li Cai defeated Tsonga and advanced to the semi-finals of tennis.

But the competition is in the afternoon, which is a serious test of Li Cai's physical strength, and many people think that Li Cai has to take care of both competitions, and it will be easy to take care of one or the other, and he will not be able to win the two awards at that time.

As for Li Cai's opponent in the semifinals, it is naturally Federer, who competed with Li Cai for the Wimbledon championship some time ago.

On Centre Court at Wimbledon, Lee and Federer met again.

Twenty days ago, the two played a wonderful duel, which can also be said to be the alternation between the new and old Wimbledon kings.

In the same place, the second fight between Li Cai and Federer has begun.

"The arc of this ball is really low, Federer is not afraid that he will not be able to pass the net!" Li Cai thought silently in his heart.

At the beginning of the match, Federer's shot arc was extremely low, and there were several times when Li Cai thought that the ball would not pass the net, but in the end the tennis ball still flew over the net. This is completely different from the Wimbledon game some time ago, it seems that Federer has done enough work to deal with Li Cai!

Federer also knew that Li Cai participated in the competition in the morning, and there would definitely be a loss of physical strength, so Federer also aimed at this, grinding and grinding, looking like he did not seek merit but sought no fault, so that Li Cai had a physical crisis later.

In the first game of the game between the two sides, both sides started a little restrained, obviously testing each other, and the score formed a 1:1 draw after each held serve. And then Federer began to become procrastinating, and from time to time he would use far-reaching summation control to disrupt Li Cai's rhythm, waiting for an opportunity to carry out a surprise attack.

In the first game, Federer led 4-2 and switched sides, but in the final stage, he lost the first set 5-7 with a volley and a return error.

After a game of competition, Li Cai has basically figured out Federer's new style of play, and at the beginning of the second game, Li Cai took advantage of Federer's play a little loosely and took advantage of the situation to get a break.

The semi-finals of the Olympics were also a best-of-three format, with Li having already won the first set and now breaking in the second, Federer already had a premonition that he was about to lose the match.

Although Federer is known as the "master tactician" in the tennis world, he can only be powerless in the face of Li Cai's suppression of strength.

What's more, Federer is already old, and in the second game, he finally couldn't resist Li Cai's strong attack, Li Cai won the second set 6:3 smoothly, and successfully advanced to the final of the Olympic tennis singles, that is, locked a medal in advance.

As soon as the competition ended, reporters flocked to interview Li Cai.

"Li Cai, tell me how you feel about this game and your thoughts on the next final!" a reporter asked.

Li Cai thought for a while and said: "This match consumed a lot of my energy, plus I have to participate in a few matches during this time, now I do feel a little tired, in fact I also feel very lost in the game, I don't know if I can win the whole match in the end, you have all seen Federer start very well, his performance completely shocked me, the game was very difficult, but in the end I persevered, won the match, and now I have reached the men's singles final, I feel very happy." ”

Obviously, Li Cai said very formulaic, and said that he was very tired and wanted to leave.

"Tired? I see you're very energetic. In the second game, Federer was about to be abused like a dog by you!" a foreign reporter couldn't help but complain in his heart, almost out of his mouth.

"Li Cai, let's talk about the upcoming tennis singles final! Who do you think will enter the final as your opponent? Another reporter asked.

"Once you're in the final, no matter who your opponent is, I have only one goal, and that's to win. No matter who it is, they can't stop me from winning the championship! Not to mention that I said I wanted to win the Golden Slam at the Australian Open. Li Cai said categorically and without hesitation.
