Nadal is undoubtedly the world's most spinning tennis player, spinning twice as fast as the average pro, and that's why Nadal's forehand is known as the world's most difficult forehand.
Nadal has never faced an opponent with a forehand spin as fast as himself, that is, the "tennis king" Federer's proud forehand spin, which is still a few points weaker than Nadal in terms of ball spin speed.
However, today's Zhang Guan played a forehand spin speed no less than Nadal.
"What a strong topspin ball!" Nadal was stunned, he could tell from the height of the ball that it was a very fast spinning ball, and at the same time he had a very familiar feeling.
Nadal will of course feel familiar, because this kind of high-speed spinning ball is Nadal's signature in the first place, and he has used this move to defeat countless opponents, but he never imagined that someone would use the same trick against him.
Nadal swung his racket to hit the ball, but his expression changed slightly when the racket made contact with the tennis ball.
"It feels so hard to control!" Nadal noticed a fluttering sensation coming from his racket, and he tried hard to suppress it, but he still couldn't guarantee that the tennis ball would fly as he intended.
"It turns out that this kind of high-speed spinning topspin ball can make the receiver so uncomfortable!" Nadal sighed in his heart.
Although Nadal knew that such a ball with high spinning speed was uncomfortable to catch, he had never experienced it himself, because no one but Nadal could hit such a high spin ball. Now, Nadal is finally getting a taste of what his opponents are feeling.
"No wonder everybody says my topspin is hard to catch." With such a fast spinning ball, even Nadal himself cannot guarantee that he will be able to return a ball of high quality.
At 30-15, Zhang Guan took the lead, and next. Zhang Guan still used his forehand to attack the topspin ball with high spin speed, and after several consecutive shots, he scored another point to rewrite the score to 40-15.
Zhang Guan, who was ready to serve again, was overjoyed that he found this tactic to be effective against Nadal.
"Nadal is known for his high-speed spinning forehand, but it turns out that he can't take this kind of ball himself, which is his trick, but he can't crack it himself. But think about it, who would be idle and think about cracking their own tricks every day? There is no second Nadal in the world, and it is estimated that Nadal is still studying how to defeat Federer on weekdays! ”
Zhang Guan continued to serve. It was still the continuous forehand pressing that created the opportunity to attack, and in the end, Zhang Guan successfully won the game, taking a temporary lead of 2-1 in the first set.
However, Zhang Guan also knows that this kind of lead is not of much significance, and the key is to find a way to break Nadal's serve, even if it is just to complete a break game, it is enough to establish the victory of the first set.
In the fourth game, Nadal's hand also warmed up, and the quality of his serve improved. The running has also become more and more aggressive, the only thing that has not changed is the high-speed spin, which still makes it difficult for Zhang Guan to receive the ball very comfortably. In this game, Nadal also successfully held serve, and the score came to a 2-2 draw.
Fifth and sixth innings. Both players played steadily and managed to hold their serve without any big mistakes, bringing the score to 3-3.
At this point, the situation became a little weird, and both men used high-speed topspin from their forehands to attack each other's backhands. Gain an advantage in the situation through continuous pressing, and force the opponent to make a flaw. This tactic is obviously a good one, especially when both sides play high-speed spinning balls. Even more so.
In this way, the first eight games were spent in a stalemate, and the score of the first game came to a 4-4 draw.
……
In front of the TV, Federer was also watching the game, holding a large plate of cut fruit, smiling happily as he ate.
"Don't laugh when you eat, you'll choke." Milka kindly reminded.
"I can't help it! Nadal finally got a taste of it. Federer said happily.
Milka was full of questions, and Federer went on to explain: "Nadal's high-speed spinning forehand is Nadal's trick, and no other player in the world has been able to do Nadal's forehand spin like Nadal before, but Zhang Guan's forehand shot is not inferior to Nadal's topspin speed, which is equivalent to using Nadal's trick against Nadal." I think Nadal must have a headache right now, how to deal with his own tricks! ”
"But the score between the two doesn't seem to be pulling apart, and it looks like the two sides are evenly matched. Nadal couldn't find a good way to deal with Zhang's high-speed spinning topspin, and Zhang Guan also had no way to deal with Nadal's shot, so they had to protect the serve. Milka spoke.
"The situation will change, I think it will change soon." Federer continued: "Zhang Guan should not have used his movement to the extreme, Nadal should also have reservations, the current score is 4-4, I think the next two games, both sides will choose to fight hard!" ”
……
Nadal looked at the 4-4 score on the scoreboard, his expression dumbfounded, but his mind was working on the tactics of the game.
"It's 4-4 now, and if we defend serve, it's 5-5, then 6-6, then tie-break, which is not what I wanted. But if I can break serve in this game, the score will be 5-4, and then I just need to hold my serve to win the first set! Nadal clenched his racket vigorously and said to himself: "In that case, this game is a fight!" ”
In the ninth game, at the beginning of the game, Nadal played extremely aggressively, he ran very actively, and the speed was also fast, for the clay court, as long as he ran fast and aggressively, it means that the defense will be very strong.
This is Zhang Guan's service game, Nadal needs a strong defense, and the stronger the defense, the more he can create break opportunities for Nadal.
Nadal suddenly increased the intensity of the defense, but Zhang Guan was a little uncomfortable, and in a blink of an eye, the score of this game changed to 40-30, but it was not Zhang Guan who was leading, but Nadal.
"The situation is a bit passive!" Zhang Guan felt that Nadal was playing a very hard game.
But Zhang Guan is not impatient, in the French Open, what the laggards need most is not a stormy counterattack, but a calm mind and indomitable will. What's more, this is Zhang Guan's service game, and he already has an advantage.
Zhang Guan raised his hand to serve, and in the ensuing counterattack, he also strengthened his movement.
The two sides played a long shot of 27 rounds, and Zhang Guan had the advantage since serving, but was still unable to knock Nadal down, and Nadal showed great fighting spirit in this ball, and with his strong movement ability, he was always able to save the ball. And Zhang Guan also relied on his strong movement ability to give Nadal a heavy blow again.
In the end, Zhang Guan still won the ball through continuous accumulation of advantages, the score came to 40-40, and the two sides came to the same running line again, and then one side needed to score two goal difference to win the game.
……
Nadal looked at Zhang Guan on the opposite side, and from the ball just now, Nadal also felt that Zhang Guan had also improved his speed and movement, which also meant that Zhang Guan's defensive intensity had also been greatly improved.
"Zhang Guan is also starting to work hard, his speed is not worse than mine, and his explosiveness is even stronger than me, maybe I am ready to fight a protracted battle!"
