Chapter 113: The Desire for Victory (Three Watches)

Zhang Guan also colored, likewise sent out an ace ball. And the audience at the scene suddenly fell into a boil.

"After Federer sent an ace ball, Zhang Guan also sent an ace ball, it is really unimaginable that after the score of the tie-break reached 6-6, the two sides actually sent ace balls one after another!" The commentator shouted excitedly, and the depression and boredom of the previous dozen games were swept away at this time.

Under normal circumstances, when it comes to the tie-break, players will choose to stabilize nine times out of ten, especially when it comes to a score of 6-6, they only need to win by two goals, and they have no chance to make mistakes.

However, at this time, the two top tennis players did the opposite, and both chose to fight the ace ball at this most critical time, and both were successful. This also greatly increases the spectacle and excitement of the game.

Federer was slightly surprised, but then immediately regained his composure, a formidable opponent who was more able to make Federer more focused and more able to arouse his desire to win.

Zhang Guan held two tennis balls in his hand, tried them, then threw one of them to the caddy and continued to serve.

"Cheer ......" Zhang Guan yelled, and even the audience sitting in the last row could hear it clearly.

The tennis ball flew over the net, and at the same time Federer's body moved, and he rushed towards the tennis ball, while sharply extending his racket.

But Federer was still a little behind, and his racket didn't touch the ball in the end.

Another ace ball!

"Ace ball! Zhang Guan sent out two ace balls in a row, and issued two ace balls in a row at the most critical time of the tie-break, which was really daring to fight. The score is now 8-7, and Zhang Guan is temporarily ahead. The narrator said as he looked at Federer on the other side. Federer tried the elasticity of the ball, and then made a serve.

Federer shouted the same. And Zhang Guan also moved one step earlier.

The "Bang ......" racket hit the tennis ball, but the angle was a little low, and the ball was eventually intercepted by the net.

Federer served to score and tied the tiebreaker at 8-8.

Federer continued to serve, and this time, Federer's serve was slightly worse than the previous one. Zhang Guan successfully received a hair extension.

Although Zhang Guan's return was successful, the quality of the return could only be regarded as average, Federer immediately chose to suppress the forehand, and Zhang Guan also quickly ran to catch the ball.

Federer moved back and forth through his forehand, but Zhang Guan relied on fast movement to continue to complete the counterattack, although Federer had a few very extreme shots during the period, but in the end Zhang Guan was shocked to defuse, and the ball eventually turned into a holding ball.

"This ball has a chance to break!" Zhang Guan realized that this was his chance, and he tried hard to make a save. So he certainly won't give up this ball easily.

Zhang Guan stepped into the bottom line with an arrow step, and received the ball in advance, but it was the front point of attacking Federer.

Federer immediately ran into the baseline as well, and he wanted to continue to pull on the baseline, but he lost the lead.

In the end, Zhang Guan won the ball through continuous grabbing.

The score became 9-8, and it was still Zhang Guan's serve below. And Zhang Guan also cherished this opportunity, and finally won the tie-break with a score of 10-8.

……

"Zhang Guan's condition is also very good!" Nadal commented silently in his heart. Through the contest just now, Nadal has realized that both of them on the court have now played their best and brought out their best personal level.

"There is not much difference between the two in terms of forehand, maybe Zhang Guan's ball may be faster, but on clay at the French Open. This advantage is not obvious, but Zhang Guan's ability to move is stronger, which is the key to Zhang Guan's victory. If Federer had the ability to move like me, he would have at least held on to the ball just now! In general, though. Both of them are so strong! If they can play like that in the final, I'm afraid I'll be unlucky. I have to be at my best as soon as possible, because if I don't play at my best, maybe I will lose in the final! Nadal clenched his fists and his eyes showed a lot of tenacity.

……

Although he lost the first set, and lost in the tie-break, Federer's mood was not affected, but calmed down.

"Zhang Guan's movement ability is too strong, on par with Nadal, maybe a little more explosive. This is also where I am at a disadvantage. Federer recalls his many fights with Nadal, who also relied on his ability to move to win on clay.

"It's still not enough to suppress, if Zhang Guan is put enough pressure, even if he has super mobility ability, he can only run for his life! That's how I won Nadal at the Hamburg Masters. ”

Federer decided to put Zhang Guan under more pressure in the next match.

In the second set, Federer changed his tactics, playing unrestrained on Zhang Guan's serve, constantly looking for opportunities to counterattack, and some of the balls were even more extreme as if he was betting on luck, Federer hoped to get a break.

Federer, on the other hand, played extremely steadily on his own serve and did not show the slightest flaw, apparently in order to save his serve.

This style of play is often used when facing players who are stronger than themselves. Because the strength is not as good as the opponent, if you want to break, you can only rely on luck; Also because his strength is not as good as his opponent's, he can only choose to be stable in his service game, so that he can hold serve.

Federer used this style of play because he had realized that he was not as good as Zhang Guan and that he had to make changes in order to win.

This is a game that belongs to the underdog. Federer, for his part, has not used this style of play since 2001. Because in 2001, he had reached the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam, and since 2003 he has been winning Grand Slam championships, he is the king of tennis, and there is no one in the world who is better than him, even against Nadal on clay, Federer did not use this style of play.

Today, Federer is forced to play this underdog style.

Federer is hungry for victory, and for the sake of victory, Federer is willing to put aside the pride of the tennis king and admit that he is a weakling.

……

"Federer, that's ......" Nadal had already stood up, and he could see that Federer was using the "underdog style of play".

The next moment, Nadal's mouth grew in surprise.

"That's Federer! That's Federer, who has nine Grand Slam titles! That's the king of tennis! He even used this style of play! How much courage did he have to make that choice! ”

It really takes incomparable courage to let a strong person who has stood at the top of the world for a long time choose to use the means of the weak!

At this moment, Nadal felt the strong desire to win in Federer's heart, and Nadal could feel even more that the current Federer only had victory in his heart! He died for the sake of victory.

"Federer really is the greatest tennis player!" Nadal sighed, and then he looked at Zhang Guan, but there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Could it be that Zhang Guan is really strong to this extent?" (To be continued.) )
