Chapter 14: Victory
In the first game of the third set, in Zhang Guan's service game, there was another love-game.
At this time, even the host could see that Rochester had collapsed.
Rochester's current world ranking is around 50, and he has also won a Grand Slam title in men's doubles, so it stands to reason that even if he meets Federer, he will not collapse at the beginning of the third set. But today's match with Zhang Guan summed up, and Rochester showed signs of collapse at the beginning of the third set.
This is mainly due to psychological factors. If the opponent is Federer, Rochester will treat himself as a weak player at the beginning of the game, because losing to Federer is normal, so even if Federer is 6-0, Roches will not be surprised, and there will be no obvious change in mentality.
But today Rochester is facing Zhang Guan, a track and field athlete, a rookie who participates in an official tennis tournament for the first time, a player who even needs sponsors to pay for the qualification, and even in the eyes of Rochester, Zhang Guan cannot be regarded as a "player" at all.
Then Roches was blown up by Zhang Guan, by an amateur player in his eyes!
In tennis, many strong players are upset, often not because of technical or performance problems, but because of mentality, especially in tennis, a game that lasts for several hours, and dozens of rounds of competition are required.
Roches's mentality at this time has become unbalanced, his judgment and handling of the ball are becoming more and more unreasonable, unforced errors are also increasing, and the situation is beginning to become one-sided.
1-0、2-0、3-0、4-0…… It was like a remake of the first set, with Rochester dropping points constantly, and very quickly.
"It's over! Hurry up and end it! Roches shouted silently in his heart that he wanted to end the game sooner. He hoped that the ordeal would be over sooner.
Finally, Roches was looking forward to this moment, and he was finally relieved!
……
“Bagel! double-bagel! It turned out to be the second 6-0! The first double-bagel of this year's Australian Open! Unbelievably, Zhang Guan won the match with a score of 6-0, 6-3. 6-0! Judging from this score, it can be said that this game is Zhang Guan's complete victory! I think this ending was something that no one expected before the tournament, Zhang Guan completed his first victory in professional tennis and his first victory in the Australian Open! ”
At this time, the prompt in the system also gave Zhang Guan a hint, winning the first professional tennis match, rewarding a skill point, and winning the first round of the Australian Open. Rewards one skill point.
"There are two more skill point rewards, remember the first time you broke the national record, it was also a skill point reward! It seems that the level of this Grand Slam event is still quite high in the system, just a victory in the first round, you can get a skill point reward, I don't know if there will be an increase in the future? If the rewards continue to increase, this Australian Open will be played in its entirety. If you can win the final championship, the reward will be the top of the entire series of athletics Golden League! Maybe you have skill points to spend on tennis. It will soon be earned back. ”
……
At the main venue of the Australian Open, the Rod Laver Stadium, Sharapova finally won the battle against her opponent after a hard-fought battle.
Sharapova's opponent is named Carmeli Ping, a young French player, and his strength is naturally not strong. In the first set, Sharapova also won with a score of 6-3.
But in the second set, Sharapova was a little out of shape, not only did the game play very closely, but even the mistakes became a lot. In the end, he lost the second set 4-6, and the match was dragged into a long-set tiebreaker.
In the Olympic Games and Grand Slam matches, the ordinary market is to use the method of tie-break to determine the winner, that is to say, when the two sides are tied 6-6, the seventh game will begin, commonly known as the tie-break, whoever wins the tie-break can win the set with a score of 7-6.
In the general long-set tiebreaker, such as 8-6, 9-7 and other parts are very common, such as Wimbledon in 2009, Federer and Roddick once played a score of 16-14, and in Wimbledon in 2010, there were two players who created an incredible record of 70-68 in the long-set tiebreaker.
The women's match at the Australian Open is best-of-three sets, so the first two sets are tie-breaks, and the last set is a tiebreaker. The men's match is a best-of-five game, so the first four sets are tie-breaks, and the fifth set is a long set tiebreaker.
After all, Sharapova is a two-time Grand Slam champion and is known as a talented tennis girl, while her opponent Kameli is about the same age as Sharapova, but in fact she is an unknown teenager. So the game was dragged into a long set to decide, and Sharapova felt a little irritable, especially as the sun gradually rose and the temperature slowly became higher, the irritability in Sharapova's heart intensified.
In the final long-set tie-breaker, Sharapova did not play well and played very hard, but there was a gap in the strength of the two sides, and in the end Sharapova won the long-set tiebreaker with a score of 9-7.
"Finally won!" Sharapova let out a sigh of relief, and then she immediately remembered Zhang Guan.
"I've been playing this game for so long, he should have started the game on his side, I don't know what happened on his side, whether the first tennis match went well." Sharapova decided to rush to Vodafone Stadium immediately to see how Zhang Guan was doing.
When Sharapova walked into the Vodafone Stadium, she happened to hear the applause and exclamations of the audience, and the sound of "double-bagel" mixed in could be faintly heard.
“double-bagel! Impossible! Although Zhang Guan participated in the Australian Open for the first time, with his level, even if he didn't play properly, he wouldn't be beaten twice 6-0! Although Rochester is good in doubles, his singles ranking is not high, and it is unlikely that he will keep a clean sheet! Sharapova looked at the scoreboard with a gloomy face.
"6-0, 6-3, 6-0, the game is over, it's a crushing victory! It's Zhang Guan, Zhang Guan wins! Sharapova repeatedly confirmed the name on the scoreboard, making sure she was not mistaken.
"How is it possible, how can Roches say that he is a player ranked more than 50 in the world, even if his level is not as good as a first-class player, but he will not be beaten like this! With this score, even if Federer comes, it is impossible to beat Roches like this! What really happened in this game? Could it be that Rochester was injured halfway through? ”
Sharapova couldn't understand why there was such an exaggerated scoreline, and finally felt that the only reasonable explanation was that Rochester was injured and then finished the game with an injury, so he was blown up by Zhang Guan. (To be continued.) )
