On June 1, the sixth match day of the French Open, the Phillip Stadium on the main court of the French Open.
The first match at Phillip Stadium was the Women's Singles match between Jankovic and Serena Williams, followed by Federer against Stares, with Zhang Guan and Monfils scheduled for the third.
Federer won comfortably 3-0, but instead of leaving immediately, he stayed on the pitch and waited to watch the match between Zhang Guan and Monfils.
Monfils is French, and as soon as he appeared at Phillip Field, he was immediately warmly welcomed by the audience, and the audience obviously knew that Monfils was a very good performer, so most of them wanted to see Monfils make a few wonderful "acting moves" during the game.
And Zhang Guan, although he holds the title of a tennis Grand Slam champion, is still not as popular as Monfils.
The two sides immediately entered the first set, and Monfils looked passionate from the start, he ran very fast, his feet were also flexible, he hit the ball beautifully on both the forehand and backhand, and showed very delicate technique and great physical talent.
In the first two games, the two sides tested each other, and then Zhang Guan began to strengthen his running and began to use a running and attacking style of play. In the face of Zhang Guan's rapid empty-handed switch, Monfils was a little caught off guard, and the rhythm was also disrupted.
"It's another trick! Zhang Guan began to lead the rhythm again, and Monfils was afraid that it would be difficult to play. Federer in the stands sighed softly.
On the court, Zhang Guan's movement became obviously frequent, and several consecutive shifts from defense to offense made frequent mistakes in Monfils's return ball. Then he took the lead in a break.
Monfils didn't seem surprised by this result, and although he became famous at a young age, his adult career was not smooth. Djokovic is already ranked sixth in the world, Murray is also ranked tenth in the world, and Monfils has been hovering in the mid-fifties. So he no longer has the world's No. 1 posture when he was a teenager, and his current mentality is very low.
Although it was a home game today, the opponent was Zhang Guan, who is ranked 15th in the world, and Monfils had no intention of winning. For Monfils, reaching the third round of the French Open is already a passing result.
However, Monfils is fighting at home after all, and in the face of tens of thousands of French spectators at the scene, he will definitely not be able to surrender easily.
"Zhang Guan's strength is really strong, he moves faster than me. The accuracy of the forehand is no less than that of Federer, and the spin is similar to that of Nadal, and the tactical play he uses constantly improves the rhythm of the reception. It's hard for me to find a sense of rhythm at all. Monfils thought as he looked around.
"The French Open is my home field, and even if I can't beat Zhang Guan, at least I have to play a good game. To my home fans! Monfils thought of this and started his own "acting career".
……
"Wow...... Whoa, whoa, whoa! After the exclamation. It was the excited shouts of the audience.
On the field, Zhang Guan put a small ball, and after the ball landed, it did not bounce too high, but bounced lightly and was about to land.
I saw Monfils run a few steps, and then pounced directly on the ground, while stretching out his arms. The racket returns the ball over the net and hits a diagonal.
This extremely exaggerated method of receiving the ball obviously met the appetite of the audience, and the scene also resounded with continuous applause.
Monfils stood up with the same happy smile as he was behind the score. But the applause of the audience brought him an incomparable sense of satisfaction. He enjoyed the feeling, the feeling of being complimented, and at this moment, he felt like the male protagonist on the court, surrounded by the stars in the center.
Monfils's blood boiled suddenly.
A few minutes later, Zhang Guan hit back with a forehand to the right, and by this time Monfils was already running, and he realized that he had run in the wrong direction.
It was too late for Monfils to run back, but he turned 180 degrees like a ballet dancer, and then leaned forward to swing the racket, which happened to hit the tennis ball, but his body fell to the ground again due to inertia.
The scene was full of exclamations and applause.
After a few more minutes, Monfils ran and stopped, and directly lay on the ground with a racket against the ground, saving the ball......
After a few minutes, Monfils did not choose the route of running, and when he was about to collide with the ball, he jumped up violently, crossed the flying tennis ball with a hurdle movement, and then stretched the racket to the crotch, and hit the ball with a crotch in the air step, returning the tennis ball to Zhang Guan's half......
The audience at the scene suddenly boiled.
"Pretty, so pretty! Crotch batting in the air! ”
"It's so imaginative!"
"Gail (Monfils), I love you!"
"Gail, come on! We've got your back! ”
A couple of beautiful saves, some with success and some failure, but all of them were very ornamental, but the audience enjoyed watching this, and everyone almost overwhelmingly began to support Monfils.
Federer looked around, shouts of support for Monfils.
"Monfils's performance-like style of play is indeed very attractive to the audience, and Monfils's state is getting better and better because of the cheering of the audience. Zhang Guan may face increasing pressure. Federer smiled, and he looked at Zhang Guan in the ring, obviously wanting to see how Zhang Guan would respond.
In the first set, Zhang Guan won 6-4, but Zhang Guan did not feel the joy of winning, and the atmosphere on the scene made him feel a dull sense of depression.
Monfils, on the other hand, was elated, immersed in and enjoying the cheers of the audience, and he loved the feeling of being in the spotlight.
"Sure enough, as Coach Zhang said, although I was in the leading position in the score, I fell into a kind of passivity on the field." Although Zhang Guan couldn't understand French, he could also feel that the audience at the scene obviously wanted Monfils to advance. Playing at home is one of the reasons, but more importantly, Monfils' show-based style of play is very entertaining.
Zhang Guan didn't like this feeling, he recalled the few exaggerated saves with performance elements in Monfils just now, and suddenly felt that if he did it himself, the effect might be better.
"Isn't it just about acting! Me too! Zhang Guan glared at Monfils in the distance, and said secretly in his heart: "I used to rely on strength to eat, but my acting skills are quite good once in a while." Today we will compete for who is the male protagonist on the court! ”
