Roches sat on the sidelines, his face as gloomy as the sky before a typhoon.

For a professional tennis player, it's not scary to lose a set, it's scary to not even know how you lost.

In the Australian Open, the men's event is a best-of-five format, so losing the first set is only a slight disadvantage for the players, which is an acceptable thing.

"I just lost one set, and then I came back in three sets in a row, and the victory is still mine!" Roches clenched his fists tightly, and then thought, "I didn't seem to make any big mistakes in that game just now, and there was no problem with the tactics I used, so how did I lose?" ”

"There should be two reasons, first, I don't know Zhang Guan, so I was caught off guard by him; Second, maybe it's because Zhang Guan's luck in the last game was better. Players can't always have good luck, as long as I stick to my tactics, I can win the next set! ”

In a tennis match, the coach is not allowed to enter the stadium to guide the athletes, even if they shout from the seat, they may be invited to play by the referee, so tennis players must have the ability to analyze the game alone and adjust their tactics according to the situation. Of course, this ability is also a kind of competition experience.

At this time, Rochester obviously didn't realize that his game experience was not as good as Zhang Guan's, and he didn't think in that direction at all, how could a player with eight years of competition experience and a former men's doubles Grand Slam champion think that his game experience was not as good as a rookie who participated for the first time?

After a short break, the second set began.

Rochester remained steadfast in his last set, taking the match into the long set and then using his experience to defeat Zhang.

In the first game of the second set, Roches' serve, his tactics looked as if they were working, and he took a 30-0 advantage from the start. However, then Zhang Guan suddenly exerted his strength. Relying on his strong mobility ability, he forced the net twice in a row to not give Roches a chance to delay the game, and the score was 30-30.

Rochester's tactics are to drag the match into the long game, and in order to achieve this goal, Roches will definitely choose a solid style of play, the more solid the play, the fewer mistakes there will be, and the more difficult it will be for the opponent to find opportunities, so it will be easier to extend the number of rounds in the match.

Zhang Guan quickly understood Roches's tactical intentions. Before the game, Coach Joyce had instructed Zhang Guan, in the face of this procrastination of play, there are two conventional ways to win, one is to be more patient with the opponent, than the opponent can drag it out; Another way to win is to play with a very unrestrained style of play and force chances.

Zhang Guan obviously chose the latter method, although Zhang Guan would not lose to Roches if he was more patient, but the longer the game. The more rounds you have, the more techniques will leak out, and the easier it will be for your opponents to study. Zhang Guan is participating in an official tennis tournament for the first time, for other players. Zhang Guan is still unknown, so he will fight quickly and end the game as soon as possible to avoid leaking too much strength. It is most in the interests of Zhang Guan.

Zhang Guan pulled the score to 30-30, and the two sides were evenly divided, which sounded like a close match. But it was Rochester's serve, and a tie meant Rochester was at a disadvantage.

In the next ball, when Roches returned the ball, Zhang Guan once again chose to catch the ball in a forward pressure style, which was still extremely fast and still a very ferocious blow.

“30-45！” Zhang Guan took the lead for the first time in this game.

Roches gritted his teeth in annoyance, he was not the kind of player who played very fiercely, what he was best at was his ability to move, but when he faced a player with stronger movement ability than him, he suddenly felt so powerless.

Then, Roches was once again broken by Zhang Guan's own serve.

In the second game, Zhang Guan still managed to hold serve, and in the third game, Rochester finally held his serve for the first time.

In the next four games, Zhang Guan and Roches failed to complete the break, and the score of the second set came to 5-3, and Zhang Guan temporarily took the lead.

Zhang Guan won two set points, and for Roches, he had to hold his serve or lose the second set. But even if Roches keeps his serve, Roches will have to break in the next game so that the second set will continue, and with Zhang's serve, it is almost impossible for Roches to complete the break.

"In the next game, it was Zhang Guan's turn to serve, his ball speed is so fast, it is not easy to control the landing point when receiving the serve, how can I break his serve?" Roches began to think.

However, Zhang Guan immediately told Rochester that he didn't have to think about how to break serve at all, because Rochester didn't hold his serve.

At the end of the second set, Zhang Guan finally won the second set with a score of 6-3.

……

In a best-of-five match, if you lose one set, it's acceptable; If you lose two sets and win one, the laggard will feel better mentally, but if you lose two sets first and let the opponent get match point, the laggard's mood will be completely different.

"What's going on? How so? I lost two games in a row! Lose two sets in a row to an track and field athlete! I was broken twice in the last set! What the hell is going on? Why is this happening? Could it be that Zhang Guan's strength is really stronger than me? ”

The thought flashed out of Roches's mind, and then it was infinitely magnified like a spark.

"It's impossible, Zhang Guan is still a tennis rookie, how can I not even beat a rookie! How can I not even be as good as a rookie? Zhang Guan relies on the sponsor's wild card to stand on this field, a sponsored wild card player, how can I be inferior to him! ”

Roches tried to convince himself with all sorts of reasons, but when he remembered Zhang's high-speed serve, and Zhang's powerful ability to move, all the reasons he found were so pale. In the face of hard power, what is the use of objective reasons?

Roches's mentality was on the verge of collapse.

Then in the first game of the third set, Zhang Guan's serve,

"Catch, be sure to catch the ball! No, I'm going to break again, as long as I can get a break once, the advantage will come back to my side! "There is a persistence and hideousness in Roches's standards.

"Whoosh!" The tennis ball rushed over, and Roches immediately reached out his racket to block it, blocking the yellow ball in front of it.

"Blocked!" Roches swung his racket quickly and returned the ball, but he felt unusually light and did not feel like a tennis ball touching the racket at all.

"What's going on?" Rochester turned his head to see that there was no ball on his racket at all, and the tennis ball had already been thrown out of bounds.

At that moment, Rochester didn't stop the tennis ball, all he stopped was the phantom left by the tennis ball as it flew by.

"217 km! OMG, a serve of over 210 km/h and already close to 220 km! There's no way to get it! Zhang Guan has also sent a serve with a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour many times before, which is really a super heavy gunner! At the same time as the narrator's excited voice sounded, there were also endless exclamations and shouts from the audience.

Roches looked at the result on the display board, and his expression was momentarily stunned.

"This serve is faster than the previous one, and it turns out that Zhang Guan's serve can be faster! With a serve at this speed, even if it is borrowed, I can't guarantee that I will be able to return the ball to the bounds. What to do? What am I going to do? Can't you really win? ”

At this moment, Rochester finally collapsed. (To be continued.) )
