In the training room, Zhang Guan took advantage of the break to ask Coach Zhang about Li Hengze's situation.

I saw Coach Zhang open his mouth and say: "When I was a player, I paid attention to Li Hengze, after all, there are almost no yellow people on the professional tennis court, and he asked me for an autograph at that time!" In general, Lee Hyung-taek belongs to the more uniform yellow athletes. ”

"A more traditional yellow athlete? What does that look like? Zhang Guan asked.

"That's me." Coach Zhang pointed at himself with a smile, and then said: "Compared with white athletes, we yellow athletes have disadvantages and advantages in physical talent. The advantage is that our reaction speed will be relatively agile, the coordination of the body will be better, and the ability to move our feet is also very flexible. As for the disadvantages......"

"I know, strength, explosiveness and fitness." Zhang Guan interjected.

"Not exactly. In terms of strength and explosiveness, the yellow race and even Asians are at a disadvantage, but physical fitness may not. Many yellow athletes have poor physical fitness, and they will be unable to play in the back, in addition to the reason for physical talent, and more importantly, because there is no high-level systematic training. After high-level systematic training, the physical fitness of Asian athletes can still be comparable to that of European and American athletes, after all, tennis is not the most confrontational sport. In terms of physical fitness, although it cannot be said that he is very good, it is still commensurate with his world ranking. ”

Zhang Guan nodded, and then asked, "What about Li Hengze's technique?" Are there any shortcomings? ”

"A player who has played professional tennis for 12 years, even if there are any shortcomings in terms of technique, he must have made up for it through training, and in my impression, he should be considered acceptable in terms of technique. But there's nothing very commendable, and it's pretty mediocre overall. Coach Zhang laughed as he spoke: "Actually, I was quite satisfied with meeting Li Hengze in the first round. He's ranked 42nd in the world, which isn't too high and not too low, so it's a good time to test our new style of play. Think of him as a testing stone! ”

Coach Zhang is obviously very confident in the new "running and attacking style". He didn't even give Zhang much pre-match coaching. This kind of running full offensive and defensive conversion of the style of play, the core of the tactics is to seize the initiative, and then drag the opponent's nose away, in the face of athletes of Lee Hyung-taek's level, Coach Zhang feels that there is no need for too special tactical guidance.

……

On May 27, the last Sunday of May, the French Open officially kicked off.

There was no crown race on the first matchday, but the weather forecast brought bad news that there would be rain during the day. And so it is. The daytime race was disrupted by rain, but fortunately, several big names such as Davydenko and Serena Williams finished the race without any problems.

In tennis, hard court and grass courts, the rainy court will become very slippery, and the referee will often stop the game, while the clay court can continue as long as the rainfall does not exceed 5 mm.

Rainfall below 5 mm. The red soil will be wetter, and the hardness of the ground will increase slightly as the stickiness increases. It's just that hitting the ball can easily cause some small bumps on the ground; If it rains heavily, the clay will become muddy, and it will not be suitable to continue the game.

The second match day, this day is also the day when Zhang Guan and Lee Hyung-taek match. Their match was the finale on Court 7 and could not begin until mid-5pm Paris time at the earliest.

However, the sky was not beautiful, and the sky over Paris was overcast early in the morning. Heavy rain fell shortly after the start of the race, and all matches had to be delayed for three hours. In the end, only seven matches were completed today, including six matches in the women's singles event and only one match in the men's singles event.

Sister Na's game is one of the seven finishes, and Sister Na started slowly today. After falling behind 3-5 in the first set, the opponent got the set point, and at this time, because of the rain the game was suspended, Sister Na suddenly broke out after the rain, won the first set 7-6, and then won the second set 6-0, and successfully advanced.

Due to the rain, the match between Jang Guan and Lee Hyung-taek could only be postponed, and other big-name players such as Federer and Nadal could only be played until the third matchday, and Sharapova's match was postponed to the fourth matchday.

……

After two days of rain and rain, the sky finally cleared on the third day of the French Open. The match between Zhang Guan and Lee Hyung-taek was also changed to be held on Court 6.

Today, Zhang Guan wore a red sleeveless tennis T-shirt and a pair of white shorts, which was very conspicuous at first glance even on the clay court.

The tennis suit was custom-made by the sponsor, especially for Zhang Guan, and Sharapova was also a vest with red as the main color, and the sponsor apparently got a couple outfit for the two.

In Grand Slam tournaments, large sponsors often choose a more uniform color tone, which is also to establish brand benefits. For example, at this year's French Open, the colors of the clothing sponsored by Naike for its athletes are mainly blue, dark blue, blue and black, etc., in addition to the traditional white, so it can be seen that Federer and Nadal tops are sky blue as the main color. However, when it came to Zhang Guan, considering that the Chinese prefer red, the sponsor specially provided Zhang Guan with a set of red jerseys, and even Sharapova followed suit.

This is a battle between two Asian players, which seems to be very attractive to many French viewers, and from time to time you can see some European and American faces yawning. However, the audience from Asia, especially the Chinese and Koreans, seemed very excited, of course, there must be more Chinese Americans in Paris than Koreans, and Zhang Guan's fame is far greater than that of Li Hengze, so Zhang Guan's appearance resounded with a very warm applause; And when Li Hengze appeared, the applause at the scene was much sparse.

The first round of the French Open men's singles will be played by 15th seed Zhang Guan against unseeded Lee Hyung-taek. Both of them are from Asia, and I think the Asian audience will be looking forward to this match. The commentator gushed about it, and the two people on the field also completed the warm-up.

"When the match starts, it starts with Zhang Guan's serve! Zhang Guan showed great service ability at the Australian Open, his serve is very threatening, and he is also the player who has sent the most aces at this year's Australian Open! I don't know if Zhang Guan can continue his good hand feeling to today's French Open match! ”

At this time, Li Hengze looked at Zhang Guan with a focused face.

"The French Open is not the Australian Open, this is a clay court, and your fast serve is not so good here! Even if you serve faster, it will be slower when you land on the ground. Li Hengze was thinking about it in pieces, only to see that Zhang Guan had already thrown the ball and swung the racket.

The next moment, the tennis ball flew straight over and smashed on the sideline.

"What a tricky angle! The landing point is a good limit! Smashed right on the sidelines. Li Hengze thought to himself.

The speed of the ball at the French Open is relatively slow, so even some fast balls, as long as they are hit correctly, they will be caught by the opponent, and if you want to send an ace ball, you need not only the speed of the ball, but also a limit of the landing point and the angle of flight.

Lee Hyung-taek's reaction was relatively fast, and he immediately reached out to make a movement to catch the ball, but the ball had already flown out.

“ACE！ 15-0。 The referee's voice rang out.

Li Hengze involuntarily stepped forward, looked down at the traces of the ball falling on the sideline, and shook his head helplessly.

"It's good luck that you can hit the ball from this angle!" (To be continued.) )
