Chapter 136: The Man Who Is Best at Miracles

At 3-3 in the second set, Nadal continued his tactics, expecting to be able to delay the match until the final tie-break, but he was broken by Zhang Guan in the next seventh game.

In fact, when Nadal chose the baseline style of play, this outcome was already doomed. Countless predecessors have proved that on the grass court, the play in front of the net is better than the baseline play, and the offensive play is better than the defensive play. When Nadal first started to use the baseline play, Zhang Guan was not very comfortable at first, so the two sides looked evenly matched, but when Zhang Guan adapted to the baseline play, the advantage of the play in front of the net was reflected. All kinds of volleys at the net and in front of the net instantly made Nadal's defense full of holes.

One of Nadal's balls was judged out of bounds, and he immediately chose the Hawkeye challenge, but failed, and it was this ball that Zhang Guan successfully broke serve again, and the game came to 4-3, and then, Zhang Guan's own service game, he rewrote the score to 5-3 again and got the set point.

In the crucial ninth game, Nadal continued to serve, and the two exchanged offenses and defenses. After Nadal led 30-15, Zhang Guan's return ball went out of bounds for Nadal to get a game point, but then Nadal also sent Zhang Guan a return ball out of bounds, 40-30. Next, Zhang Guan put a chipping ball in front of the net after cutting the ball with his backhand, and successfully scored another point, and the score was tied at 40-40.

Then Zhang Guan used a volley high ball, came to the net and chose a straight line, and took the lead, but the next ball Zhang Guan returned the ball to the net with a backhand, and the two sides came to a tie. Nadal's powerful serve sent Zhang Guan back out of bounds to take the lead and win the game point, but then Zhang Guan attacked Nadal's forehand sideways and then intercepted it with a forehand at the net, and the two sides were once again evenly divided.

It can be seen that no one is willing to give up this crucial game. Nadal's temper is hoping to keep his serve, and he plays tenaciously; Although Zhang Guan could hold serve in the next game to win the set, he was still chasing a break.

After two more deuces. Zhang Guan relied on a running volley to take the lead again, which was Sampras's trick, which Zhang Guan had used many times before, and on the Wimbledon court, this trick was even more effective.

Next, Zhang Guan's play at the net with the ball hit the origin, forcing Nadal to make a mistake in returning the ball, and Zhang Guan also won the second set with a score of 6-3.

Nadal shook his head in frustration, having a premonition that he might lose the third set.

"On the Wimbledon court, Zhang Guan has so many weapons at his disposal. The bottom line, midfield, and in front of the net, he is very good at it, especially his style of play in front of the net, in the choice of net timing and the handling of the ball, he is like a veteran who has played in front of the net for 20 years! In comparison, I only use the baseline play better. Nadal sighed: "We are all the same age, but the gap between me and him is so big, I have been practicing tennis since I was a child, from childhood to adulthood. Everyone says I'm a tennis genius, but compared to Zhang Guan, I'm nothing at all......"

The next moment, Nadal rubbed his knee. He felt as if the old knee injury had recurred, so he called a medical timeout, and doctors came in to briefly treat Nadal's knee.

Perhaps due to injury, Nadal deliberately slowed down the pace of the match in the third set. Not only did the preparation time for receiving the ball become more, but even the preparation time for serving became more, and he also challenged Hawkeye once at the beginning of the game.

Obviously. The knee injury still has a big impact on Nadal, he doesn't play as hard as he used to, and he is more conservative in his handling of the ball. Nadal is clearly aware that he is no longer likely to win, so he might as well take some protective measures. After all, Nadal still has a long career ahead of him at the age of 21, and he still has plenty of chances to challenge for the Wimbledon title, so there's no need to gamble on his career here.

Zhang Guan was still attacking fiercely, but Nadal put more experience on defense, which made the game round longer, and sometimes there was a tug-of-war on the bottom line, but slowly, Nadal still fell behind Zhang Guan with a score of 5-2.

Zhang Guan got the set point, which was the match point of the whole match, and the next game will be Nadal's serve.

The quality of Nadal's serve has deteriorated, but he still struggled to hold his serve, but after a deuce, Zhang Guan managed to break serve.

6-2, which was the score of the third set, and the result of the whole match was Zhang Guan's 6-1, 6-3, 6-2 victory over Nadal to win this year's Wimbledon Open.

……

"Won, Zhang Guan has achieved the final victory, we congratulate him! We also congratulate Rafael Nadal on winning the runner-up place, and he did very well! The commentator took a deep breath and continued: "Today's result may not have exceeded most people's pre-match expectations, the attacking Zhang Guan defeated the defensively good Nadal, which is normal at Wimbledon. However, it is worth noting that this is Zhang Guan's third Grand Slam title this year, and he is only one US Open title away from the Grand Slam! ”

"Who would have thought that seven months ago, Zhang Guan was not even considered a professional tennis player, but seven months later, he swept the tennis world, winning three Grand Slam titles in a row. I don't really know what words to put to describe all this, it's a miracle! Zhang Guan is worthy of being the best miracle worker in the world. ”

"After the French Open final two weeks ago, Zhang Guan said that he wanted to win a tennis Grand Slam, and many people thought it was a fantasy at the time, because even the Swiss king Federer had not won a Grand Slam yet, and two weeks later, when Zhang Guan lifted the Challenger Cup, we found out that he was only one step away from a Grand Slam. I think it is really possible for Zhang Guan to fulfill his promise in September, and he may be one step ahead of Federer to reach the Grand Slam and become the sixth male professional tennis player in the world to win the Grand Slam! ”

If Zhang wins the US Open in September, he will also be the third athlete in the world to win a Grand Slam in one year, following Donald Boogie in 1938 and the legendary Rod Laver in 1962. But we all know that times are different, tennis is different from the past, modern tennis has a faster pace, more play, more competition, modern tennis wants to get a Grand Slam within a year, it is almost impossible! ”

"As I just said, Zhang Guan is the best miracle worker in the world, and he can bring us another 'miracle'! I want to wait until September, until the moment of the US Open final, and the mystery will be revealed! (To be continued.) )
