"The next opponent is Davydenko, and if he wins, he will advance to the quarterfinals." Zhang Guan looked at the table and continued: "The game is on June 3, or at the Phillip Stadium. ”

Zhang Guan was in the top half of the 2/4 zone, and after watching his matchup, Zhang Guan set his sights on the bottom half of the 2/4 zone.

There is only one of the four seeds left in the bottom half, with No.5 seed Gonzalez knocked out in the first round, 11-seeded Gasquet and No.27 seed Melzer both in the second round, and now the two players in the bottom half of the bracket who have advanced to the round of 16 are 19th seed Canas and unseeded Monaco, both Argentinians.

"Don't look at the bottom half of the district yet, your next opponent is Davydenko, it's not so easy to deal with." Coach Zhang spoke.

Zhang Guan showed a very confident expression: "I won against Davydenko at the Australian Open, and I don't think his strength is very strong. Although 'Model Worker' Davydenko has participated in many tournaments and ranks fourth in ATP points, his real strength is not comparable to his fame. ”

"Joyce told you that?" Coach Zhang shook his head slightly, obviously disagreeing with Coach Joyce's statement, and he opened his mouth to introduce: "Davydenko's clay strength should not be underestimated. Five of Davydenko's 10 ATP titles so far have come on clay. The Tour of Estoril in 2003, the Tour of Munich in 2004, the Tour of St. Pierten and the Tour of Brahms in 2005, and the Tour of Supo in 2006 were all clay courts. In addition, his three current runner-up finishes on clay have also been on clay. It can be said that the clay court is Davydenko's best court. ”

Coach Zhang threw Davydenko's report card to Zhang Guan and continued: "Although Davydenko has no obvious strengths, he also has no obvious weaknesses, and he is the kind of player who is very stable and patient. This makes it easy for him to get results on clay. ”

Zhang Guan nodded with a straight face, and then asked, "Then what should I pay attention to in the game?" ”

"Meticulous and patient. You can't be careless with every ball, you have to be meticulous, and if you do that, you're half the win. And the other half wins, you need to rely on patience to get it. On clay, Davydenko will be very patient, and you will have to be at least as patient as he is. Coach Zhang said.

……

On June 2, Sharapova defeated Kudryazeva 2-0 to advance to the fourth round of the women's singles, and it was also on this day that Japanese veteran Ai Sugiyama lost to Chakvetadze and missed the round of 16. So far, all Asian women's singles players have been wiped out, and only Zhang Guan is the only single seedling left in the entire Asian singles players.

On the same day, Nadal celebrated his 21st birthday, beating Montanes 3-0 on his birthday to reach the last 16 of the men's singles. In this game, Nadal gradually found his best form, which can be seen Nadal at this time. It's very different from a week ago, even the media said. Nadal has already entered the French Open winning mode.

On June 3, Zhang Guan and Sharapova began their respective fourth-round campaigns, with Zhang Guan taking on No.4 seed Davydenko at Phillip Stadium and Shalabi I facing Schneider at Susan Stadium. So the start time of the game is also very similar.

……

"Audience friends, next is the men's singles No. 4 seed Davydenko against the men's singles No. 15 seed Zhang Guan. The two have met once before, at this year's Australian Open, when Zhang Guan beat Davydenko 3-0. So today's match is a battle of revenge for Davydenko! ”

The camera is focused on Davydenko. Hoping to catch something, Davydenko smiled like a gentleman and showed a relaxed state.

For a player like Davydenko, who can compete in more than 30 tournaments a year, he has indeed forgotten the feeling of nervousness.

After a few beats of warm-up, the two sides began the official match.

In the first four games, the two sides fought to a 2-2 draw, and no one was able to complete the break, and in the next few games, although Zhang Guan strengthened his attack, he still did not find a chance to break Davydenko's serve, and the two sides went back and forth, and in a blink of an eye, they played 10 games, and the score became 5-5.

"Davydenko played so steadily today." Zhang Guan has already noticed the tactics used by Videnko today, and that is one word - steady!

Whether it is serving or receiving, Davydenko showed extremely steady, in the first set of five service games, Davydenko did not send an ace, this is not Davydenko's ability to send an ace, because he did not intend to serve an ace at all. In Davydenko's serve, his serve was not aimed at scoring directly, but to gain initiative and better suppress Zhang.

In receiving the ball, Davydenko also put stability in the first place, some places that can be boldly attacked in Zhang Guan's opinion, Davydenko chose to give up, even if it is an attack, it is not the kind of desperate attack, once the attack is frustrated, it will be stopped immediately, and it will continue to be stable.

Although this method cannot crack Zhang Guan's "running and attacking style", the stability of serving and receiving the ball makes Zhang Guan unable to find a very suitable offensive time.

If it is a hard court or a grass court, Zhang Guan will definitely be able to use attack and suppression to create more opportunities, but this is a clay court, and the pace is already slower, and Davydenko uses this style of play to seek stability, which basically forms a tie or two dozen or twenty beats.

After 12 rounds, the two sides were still tied, and then entered the first tie-break between the two sides.

"It's finally time to tie seven!" Davydenko had a relieved smile on his face, and his consistent style of play gave him an incomparably huge advantage in the tie-break. The tie-break is a goal that cannot be easily missed, so the more stable the style of play, the more advantageous it is to play the tie-break.

Although Zhang Guan still sent a few aces, compared to the Australian Open, the clay court of the French Open has greatly reduced the power of his serve, and the lack of this important weapon has weakened Zhang Guan's advantage in the tie-break game again. So when Zhang Guan serves, maybe it's my chance. Davydenko thought as he began to serve.

It was a long shot of 28 bats, and Davydenko managed to keep the ball in the end.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Guan served, and what Davydenko didn't expect was that Zhang Guan also used a relatively conservative way of serving.

It was another long round of 21 beats, and Zhang Guan scored a point.

The next ball, again there was a long round of 25 beats. This was followed by 18, 22, and 19 beats. In the seventh ball between the two sides, the two sides actually played 32 beats, and then the eighth ball, the two sides played an astonishing 39 beats!

Although it is a clay court and the ball is relatively slow, it is rare in modern tennis to be able to hit 20 shots, and the 39-shot ultra-long round has set a record for the longest number of shots at this French Open.

At this time, the score was 4-4, and the two sides were still tied in the tie-break.

The audience applauded thunderously, and the TV screen also showed that this was the longest number of shots at this French Open.

However, on the next ball, the number of rackets between the two sides exceeded this number, reaching a staggering 40 beats.

This kind of long-round competition made the audience shout and enjoy, and the audience in front of the TV was eager to rewind the show and watch the 40-beat contest again.

However, on the field, Davydenko rubbed his slightly soreness biceps, kept moving his wrists, and a complicated expression appeared on his face.

"Something doesn't feel right, I seem to have fallen for it!" Davydenko thought silently. (To be continued.) )
