The final of the men's singles is the last match of the US Open.

Chen Qiang's opponent is Don Boogie, who was the greatest tennis player before the advent of the Open era, and at that time, Don Boogie was probably the big devil in the tennis world.

Don Boogie's father was a Scottish footballer who later moved his family to the United States, so Don Boogie was also born into a family of athletes.

Don Boogie grew up in Oakland, California, where the main focus is on hard courts, and when he was still young, he was already a well-known "king of hard courts" in the United States, and he went one step further, practicing grass and clay courts, two Wimbledon titles and a French Open title, which is enough to prove his strength on grass and clay courts. He also entered the U.S. Army during World War II, but because he tore a shoulder muscle during training, he lost his peak form from then on.

As previously introduced, Australian player John Bromwich relied on his two-handed backhand technique and was called the world's No. 1 backhand at that time, and if it was a one-handed backhand, Don Boogie was well-deserved the world's No. 1, and some tennis critics in later generations even felt that Don Boogie was the most powerful backhand player before World War II.

In addition to his backhand, Don Boogie's serve was also very powerful, and Don Boogie used that kind of power service technique, and in 1938, it was called "the most powerful serve of all time".

Don Boogie is also the strongest tennis player in the world, since last year's Wimbledon, Don Boogie has not lost a match, and now on the U.S. Open, Don Boogie is playing at home, and the whole audience will cheer for Don Boogie.

And the various predictions before the game are also generally believed that Don Boogie can get the final victory, and almost no one thinks that Chen Qiang can defeat Don Boogie.

Chen Qiang went from the first round to the finals, during which he did not lose a set, and all of them swept his opponent 3-0.

In fact, it was not, because Don Boogie went all the way to the final, also without losing a set, and also swept his opponent 3-0.

When both sides swept their opponents 3-0, Don Boogie, who is more famous in the tennis world, is obviously more attention-grabbing, and Don Boogie's 3-0 gold content will also be infinitely magnified.

It's like playing in the group stage of the World Cup, if a strong team like France wins three games in a row to advance to the knockout round, and they all win by a big score, people will say that the French team is in good shape, and there will even be many people who are optimistic that the French team will win the championship.

But if the Japanese team wins three games in a row to advance, of course, some people will say that the Japanese team is in good shape, but more people will think that the Japanese team is an upset, and no one will watch the Japanese team win the final championship. This is the difference between the strong and the weak.

The more developed the information, the more it will form a world of fame, if Warren Buffett invests in a cryptocurrency and makes billions, people will say that the "God of Investment" really has a vision, and countless financial experts will blow Buffett to the sky, not because of anything else, just because he is Buffett, as long as Buffett's success will be infinitely magnified, and it will even be written into textbooks as a classic case.

If a passer-by A invests in cryptocurrencies and makes billions of dollars, it is estimated that people will put "good luck" and "speculation" on the head of passer-by, and financial experts may also make some negative remarks about passer-by A.

Chen Qiang is facing such a situation now, although he has performed very well in the previous rounds of the competition, but in the eyes of most audiences, Chen Qiang may just be a "lucky person" who happened to enter the finals.

……

The match officially began, starting with Don Boogie's serve, and he immediately gave Chen Qiang a dismissal.

"Don Boogie's serve, the speed is really fast!"

Chen Qiang felt the threat brought by Don Boogie's serve, in terms of ball speed, Don Boogie's serve has been able to reach the level of future professional players, so Chen Qiang's catch is very difficult, many times even if he can catch the ball, there is no quality in receiving the serve.

What surprised Chen Qiang even more was that Don Boogie's backhand could hit a slight topspin! Of course, the spin of this topspin ball is very slight, and even Chen Qiang needs to observe carefully to find it. And Chen Qiang can find Don Boogie's topspin ball, also because Chen Qiang himself will play topspin ball, if you change to a person who doesn't know anything about topspin, it is impossible to find that Don Boogie's shot has a slight topspin.

"It's only 1938 and Don Boogie is going to play topspin, which is why players in this era don't use topspin yet. It's no wonder Don Boogie has been called the greatest player before the Open era, and this topspin alone shows that he knows much more about tennis than it was. ”

Chen Qiang still realizes that it is absolutely no accident that Don Boogie was able to win so many honors in that era, Tang Boogie not only has physical and technical skills, but also has an understanding of tennis, which is unique in this era.

"I thought that players in this era are not aware of topspin at all, it seems that I was wrong, there will be some talented athletes born in every era, and Don Boogie is obviously a talented athlete in this era! Unfortunately, if it hadn't been for the Second World War, tennis would have developed at least ten years faster than it has ever been! Chen Qiang thought to himself.

The Second World War did delay the development of many sports, taking tennis as an example, a large number of outstanding players joined the army during World War II, from 1940 to 1945, they were delayed for five years, they did not play in five years, not to mention the decline in the level, many people have left the moment of physical peak.

It was around 1955 that the strength of tennis players returned to the level before World War II, and then after more than ten years of development, the skills of the players have been greatly improved, and tennis has entered the era of open tournaments.

If it hadn't been for World War II, perhaps in the early fifties, tennis players would have had the strength of the mid-sixties according to the trend of tennis at that time.

Chen Qiang evaluated the impact of World War II on the development of tennis, and then got rid of distractions and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the game. He was up against Don Boogie, the greatest tennis player of his time, so it wasn't a good idea to be distracted from other things in the middle of the game.

In Tang Boogie's serve, although Chen Qiang did not succeed in getting a break, but after Chen Qiang's own service game, Tang Boogie did not have a very good way to deal with Chen Qiang's serve, so Chen Qiang was still very easy to keep his serve.

After two rounds of competition, Don Boogie's expression also looked solemn.

"Chen Qiang can also play spinning balls! And the ball he hit spins even more than mine! ”

Don Boogie's understanding of tennis is far from the level of later generations, so he called the topspin ball "spinning ball", and for Don Boogie, the topspin ball is his unique skill, he has never leaked this technique to other players, and it is also with this rudimentary topspin that Don Boogie is invincible in the game, sweeping the four Grand Slam tournaments in more than a year.

Now Don Boogie sees that Chen Qiang is also using the topspin ball, and Chen Qiang's topspin ball has more spin strength. How could Don Boogie not be surprised that his unique stunt suddenly appeared on someone else's body, and the other party used it even better.

Don Boogie can be sure that he has not leaked the topspin skills, and Chen Qiangyuan is in China, and it is impossible to steal the topspin ball from Don Boogie, so in an instant, Don Boogie immediately understood that Chen Qiang, like him, has also developed the topspin technique, and Chen Qiang's research and development pace is even faster.

"It's not for nothing that people call Chen Qiang the world's No. 1 athlete, he was able to develop a better spinning ball, and it seems that it is not easy to win this match." Don Boogie couldn't help but sigh.

……

1 to 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3, 4 to 4...... The score of the first set was always deadlocked, Chen Qiang and Don Bouji always held each other's serves, and neither was able to complete the break, and the final score came to a 6-6 draw.

If it is placed in the game of the next generation, the next seven games will be played, and whoever chooses to score the 7th point will win this set. However, in the thirties, the US Open was played in long sets, which meant that to win the set, you had to be two points ahead.

In previous matches, Chen Qiang didn't even have to play the 10th game to win a set, but today's first set between him and Don Boogie will take at least 14 games to decide the winner.

At this moment, after the first dozen rounds of competition, Chen Qiang has gradually become familiar with Tang Booji's style of play, and the same Tang Boogie has gradually become familiar with Chen Qiang's style of play, and because of this, the number of rounds per ball between the two has begun to become longer and longer.

After the score of 7-7, both sides sat on the sidelines at the same time to take a short break, and the game also entered a state of temporary timeout.

Chen Qiang wiped the sweat from his head, but he kept thinking about countermeasures in his mind.

"What to do? Don Boogie's serve is already at the level of a future professional athlete, I don't have an advantage in this regard, and he also knows how to use topspin, the current situation is that I can't do anything with him, he can't take me, if I continue to play like this, the game will become a battle of physical attrition, maybe until someone consumes too much energy and makes a mistake, this set will usher in the first break. ”

"No, there should be another way, let me think about it, if it were those top players in the future, what would they do in this situation?"

Suddenly, Chen Qiang had a flash of inspiration in his mind, he remembered the dozens of fights between Federer and Nadal, and finally had an idea.

"I know, the match has entered the stalemate phase and Don Boogie and I are gradually getting used to each other's style of play. So now we're not competing on how to attack the opponent's weaknesses, but about who will make fewer mistakes! In the end, the side that makes fewer mistakes will come back to win the game! ”

Chen Qiang has seen many Grand Slam finals, and he has witnessed dozens of summit battles between Federer and Nadal, as well as the rise of Novak Djokovic. With Chen Qiang's understanding of tennis, he can certainly see that players of that level actually have no shortcomings.

And that level of play is not attacking the opponent's weaknesses, because players like Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic have no weaknesses, so what they really compete with is who makes fewer mistakes and makes fewer mistakes, and the side that makes more mistakes will lose the game.

Chen Qiang and Don Boogie are naturally far from the level of Federer and Nadal, compared with Fei Tianwang, whether it is Chen Qiang or Don Boogie, they are both weak chickens, but in this era, the two of them are already the best players in the world.

Chen Qiang and Don Boogie both have a lot of weaknesses, but the strength of the two is not enough to grasp the opponent's weaknesses, so attacking the opponent's weaknesses will not have any effect.

It's like two people playing chess, if it's two top masters, it must be a fight back and forth, and it looks even more terrifying; And if it is two stinky chess baskets playing chess, although it is full of loopholes, because both people can't catch each other's loopholes, the result is also a fight back and forth.

The current Chen Qiang and Don Boogie are like two stinky chess baskets, both of them have limited abilities, but they are inseparable.

At this time, the law that whoever makes fewer mistakes will win, but the same applies to Chen Qiang and Don Buji.

……

In the first set, the final score was 10-8, which was a big score at the time.

Don Boogie shook his head helplessly, he had persevered to this point, but in the end he lost this set, which made him feel very pity.

But Don Boogie was not discouraged, it was only the first set of the game, and Don Boogie still had a chance behind him.

And Don Boogie also found the reason why he lost the first set, he made a few small mistakes in the last service game, only to be caught by Chen Qiang, and that service game was broken by Chen Qiang.

Don Boogie felt that it was just an accident, or that he was unlucky, and if he had paid a little attention and didn't have those few small mistakes, or if Chen Qiang hadn't caught those few small mistakes, he wouldn't have lost the first set.

It's inevitable that everyone will make mistakes, and mistakes are also part of the game, and no player can pat his chest to guarantee that he will not make mistakes for the rest of his life, so Don Boogie didn't take the mistakes to heart, he quickly adjusted his mentality and prepared for the second set.

Don Boogie hasn't realised that Chen Qiang has made adjustments and he can make fewer mistakes.

In the second set, Don Boogie lost again, and the score of this set was 7-5, which looked far less close than the first set.

"What's going on? How did you lose! Don Boogie was a little unresponsive.

Don Boogie felt that the second set was quite good, and he also made several beautiful serves and shots during the period, which was no worse than the first set, but in the end it was easier than the first set.

And there has been no obvious change in Chen Qiang's style of play, how the first set was played, how the second set was played, and the techniques used by Chen Qiang were all those shown in the first set, and there were no new tricks.

Chen Qiang did not make changes, Don Boogie also played as always, and the result of the game should have turned into a long tug-of-war like the first set, and then a long set of big scores, but this is not the case, 7-5 is a relatively normal score in the Grand Slam final.

Don Boogie never figured it out, it was the same recipe and the same taste, how could he lose the second set!

After all, Don Boogie still hasn't broken out of the understanding of tennis in this era, and the tactics he uses are still looking for Chen Qiang's weaknesses and attacking them.

Chen Qiang, on the other hand, is to reduce his mistakes as much as possible and gain the lead by making fewer mistakes, a tactic that athletes in this era cannot imagine.

It's not so much a tactical victory as a sporting idea.

Technically, Chen Qiang couldn't beat Don Boogie. In terms of talent, Chen Qiang is far inferior to Don Boogie.

Don Boogie is arguably the greatest tennis player of the pre-Open era, and his talent is unmatched. And Chen Qiang's talent in tennis is really not as good as Tang Boogie.

It's no exaggeration to say that if Don Boogie had the kind of training in the future, he would be a player of Federer's level. And with Chen Qiang's tennis talent, even if he has practiced for 100 years, he can't reach Federer's level.

However, Chen Qiang did not fight with Don Boogie for skill and talent, he chose the most correct path and used the future sports concept to defeat Don Boogie!
