Chapter 58: Not favored
"Return the ball out of bounds! Gonzalez returns the ball out of bounds! Zhang Guan won! We congratulate Zhang Guan on advancing to the final of the Australian Open! Zhang Guan became the first player in China to qualify for the Grand Slam men's singles final, and he is also the first Asian to qualify for the Grand Slam men's singles final, we congratulate him! ”
With a score of 3-0, Zhang Guan defeated Gonzalez, the No. 10 seed of the tournament, who was in excellent form, which was definitely a crushing victory, and in the next final, Zhang Guan will challenge the defending champion and world No. 1 tennis king Federer! We also look forward to Zhang Guan's continued efforts! ”
"Next, please ask Director Su to analyze this game for us!" The narrator said as he looked at Director Sun.
Director Su coughed dryly and said: "This can be a very exciting offensive battle, Gonzalez was originally an offensive player, and in today's game, Zhang Guan also used an offensive style of play, so the two sides have become an attack, since it is an attack, then the two sides are comparing whose attack is more ferocious, whose attack can cause more pressure on the opponent, at this point, Zhang Guan is obviously going to do better." ”
In addition, Gonzalez doesn't seem to be very suitable for this offensive style of play, because under normal circumstances, Gonzalez's opponents will choose defensive counterattacks to deal with Gonzalez's strong attack, so Gonzalez is also better at dealing with defensive players, such as Gonzalez's last game against Nadal, Gonzalez won. But today Zhang Guan chose a different strategy, he chose to use an attack-to-attack style of play, which also made Gonzalez very uncomfortable. ”
"The last thing I want to say is that Gonzalez didn't adjust his tactics well, he was too obsessed with attacking. We know that Zhang Guan is a track and field sprinter, and he is the fastest runner in the world, and he must be better than Gonzalez in terms of muscle explosiveness, so he can beat Gonzalez in the offensive battle. And Gonzalez found that his offense was no match for Zhang Guan. You should adjust the strategy of the game, don't go to the forehand of Zhang Guan, you should try to attack Zhang Guan's backhand, so that you may be able to achieve better results......"
The commentator next to him looked at Director Sun with disdain, in this studio, two hours ago, in the same position, Director Sun also swore that Zhang Guan should not fight hard with Gonzalez, but should attack Gonzalez's backhand. But only two hours later, Director Sun's speech made a 180-degree turn. Now it is a suggestion that Gonzalez should not fight hard with Zhang Guan, but should attack Zhang Guan's backhand.
As a professional guest commentator, Director Sun's cheekiness can still stand the test, he has no consciousness of slapping his face at this time, but continues to comment on the advantages and disadvantages of the two players with a professional appearance.
……
Zhang Guan's successful advance to the final of the Australian Open made headlines in the sports section of the next day.
The attention of all sporting events, semi-finals and finals in all the world, cannot be equal. Many sporting events last for months or a year at a time, and tennis Grand Slams last two weeks. So it's impossible for sports fans to keep an eye on every game. The vast majority of sports fans will only care about the more important games, and the final is obviously the most concerned.
Before the start of the Australian Open, many fans were looking forward to the showdown between Federer and Nadal, and the battle between the world number one and the world number two. Looking forward to the collision of this pair of old enemies. Federer made it to the final, but Nadal stopped in the quarterfinals and made it to the final with the help of a wild card.
This result disappointed the pre-match predictions of many experts. Zhang Guan is also regarded as a dark horse in this Australian Open, and he is also a spoiler, and lost Nadal's Australian Open final. It is also considered to be a game without suspense, and Federer is bound to successfully defend his title.
Federer is now at the peak of his career, and his technical perfection and excellent form have earned him the title of "King of Tennis". And Federer has the advantage of defending the title, so no one except Chinese fans thinks Zhang Guan can beat Federer.
In response, many media outlets in Melbourne have also conducted surveys of professional tennis players, tennis coaches, sports commentators and the general public.
……
In the evening's Australian Open special, the TV station's investigation into the final is being broadcast.
The first thing that came to mind was an interview with tennis star Ljubicic: "Federer will definitely win!" I'm optimistic about Federer not just because he's a good friend of mine, but because of his unrivalled skills. ”
"Of course I hope Federer wins! You know that I was eliminated by him, and if I was eliminated by the champion, it shouldn't be too embarrassing! Djokovic laughed as he spoke.
"I haven't fought Zhang Guan, so I don't know much about him. But I know Federer very well, so I think it should be Federer who wins! Nadal's face appeared on the TV, he spread his hands, and continued: "If Zhang Guan wants to beat Federer, I suggest he can learn my style of play!" Yes, the way of playing on the baseline defense, my style of play is definitely the best means against the paid Dele! ”
Next up was interviewed by a well-known Australian sports commentator: "Zhang Guan has shown great strength in this Australian Open, and every player he has defeated is very strong, Grosjean's serve at the net, Nalbandian's backhand, Haas's all-roundedness, Davydenko's sophistication, Gonzalez's violence...... In the face of these formidable opponents, Zhang Guan won every game 3-0! This shows that he is a very strong player. But this time, Zhang Guan is facing Federer, and I really don't see any possibility that Zhang Guan can win! ”
As for ordinary fans, they are also one-sided in support of Federer. So in the next few interviews, Melbourne fans all thought Federer would win the title.
"Looks like everyone doesn't think well of you!" Sharapova said as she turned off the television.
"Not necessarily." Zhang Guan pointed to the computer screen and said: "At least the Chinese audience is all supporting me, if you look at the survey of this portal, more than 90% of the netizens are supporting me to win the championship!" It's you, you're going to face Serena Williams tomorrow, she's a very tough opponent! ”
Zhang Guan showed a worried expression.
However, Sharapova looked full of confidence: "I lost to her last time, and tomorrow it will be my turn to take revenge!" (To be continued.) )
