At this time, Federer was a little confused, as a professional player, his ideas were repeatedly guessed by opponents, which was obviously a very uncomfortable experience. This is like two armies fighting, and the carefully prepared tactics of one side are constantly being seen through by the opponent, and as the commander, the mood must be very bad.

So far, Zhang Guan has guessed Federer's intentions correctly six times, although this number is not very much, at most six goals have been conceded, but if it is placed on the key ball, even if Zhang Guan guesses correctly once, it will be a fatal blow for Federer.

Now the score is 5-4, and it is clear that it is a more critical moment, for both sides, it is a matter of every goal.

The score was 30-0, and Zhang Guan only needed to win two more balls to win the set.

Zhang Guan served again, still a ball with a speed of up to 210 kilometers per hour, and it was obvious that Zhang Guan wanted a quick victory.

If it were an ordinary player, he would definitely not be able to catch this ball, but Zhang Guan's opponent is Federer at the peak, and now Federer is extremely focused, he knows the power of Zhang Guan's serve, so he focuses all his attention on receiving the serve.

Federer managed to catch the ball.

But then, Federer fell into passivity again, and he was once again mobilized by Zhang Guan to run back and forth, and after holding on for six rounds, he still conceded the ball.

In baseline play, it is normal for the receiver to run left and right at the server's mobilization, and Federer has long been used to this situation. Looking at the score of 40-0, Federer sighed helplessly, in this level of competition, as long as there is a mistake in the discontinuity of Zhang Guan, Federer wants to complete the break is extremely difficult.

At this time, Zhang Guan has three game points in his hand, which also means that Zhang Guan has six service opportunities, in this case. Even if he failed in the first serve, Zhang Guan dared to continue to fight for the second serve. So next, Zhang Guan chose the extreme service method, a second service error, then another one-serve error, and finally sent an ace ball in the second second serve. Won this game.

"Congratulations to Zhang Guan, who won the first set with a score of 6-4!" The commentator soothed his tone for a moment, and then said: "I really didn't expect that it would be Zhang Guan who won the first set!" You must know that in the pre-match predictions, everyone thought that it would be a one-sided match, Federer might win by crushing, but what he didn't expect was that Zhang Guan would take the lead and win the first set. That's the case. We don't have to worry about the 3-0 end of the match, we have at least the fourth set to watch! ”

……

CCTV studio, the commentator and the guest Su Gui are all elated, before the game, the foreign media are all not optimistic about Zhang Guan, and even many media think that Zhang Guan will lose 0-3, and now Zhang Guan won the first set, which makes the two have a feeling of raising their eyebrows.

In the back broadcast room, Director Du, who is in charge of the CCTV Sports Channel, pays attention to the ratings.

"There is a two-hour time difference between Melbourne and here. Five o'clock in the afternoon there is equivalent to three o'clock in the afternoon here, although it is not the golden hour for the ratings like seven o'clock in the evening. But today is the weekend after all, and the ratings are definitely a lot higher than usual. Director Du looked at the information in his hand, which was the ratings statistics made at the moment before the start of the game.

"The ratings of the previous period were 1.015%, which has broken 1, this number is almost the ratings of the Da Yao game!" Director Du was still a little dissatisfied in his heart, after all, Da Yao's games were all in the morning. The ratings in the morning are definitely lower than those in the afternoon, and if the ratings of 1.015% are placed in the morning, it is about 0.8%.

"Although there is a big star like Zhang Guan, the audience's enthusiasm for tennis is still far less than basketball. However, the competition has just begun, and the ratings will always slowly increase. I think the final rating should be able to rise to about 1.5%! Director Du silently calculated in his heart.

The ratings of 1% are already very high ratings for ordinary games, such as the NBA regular season, the ratings of the Rockets have Da Yao's games are about 1%, and some key games such as the Chinese Super League, the ratings are almost 1%. If it is a European football league in the second half of the night, the domestic viewership is probably less than 0.2%.

Under normal circumstances, it is definitely impossible for the Grand Slam finals to have a 1% rating in China, after all, the audience of tennis is far less than that of basketball and football, but today's game is different, because of Zhang Guan's participation, so the 1% rating is a bit low, and the internal rating target of CCTV is 1.5%, which is also very high in the time period from 3 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

"The ratings statistics for this period should be made, I don't know if it has reached 1.5%." Director Du was pondering when one of his subordinates came over with a paper form.

"Director, are the ratings counted for this time period?"

"Has it reached 1.5%?" Director Du immediately asked.

The other party nodded, Director Du let out a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to take the ratings statistics, and looked down.

"It's ...... 2.033%！ The ratings have broken '2'! Director Du exclaimed.

If you watch primetime after 7 p.m., some tournaments can reach more than 2% ratings, but in games that start at 3 p.m., few can reach 2% ratings.

"Why is it so high? The statistics of the last period have just broken 1%, why did the ratings increase so high in such a short period of time? Director Du asked.

"It seems that Zhang Guan won the first set. And then all of a sudden, the ratings went up dramatically."

"Zhang Guan won the first set! I see. Director Du's face was suddenly overjoyed, and he said to himself: "I just won the first set, and the ratings will rush to more than 2%, if I win another set, maybe the ratings can rush to 3%!" ”

In the afternoon live game, it is already a great achievement to be able to have a 2% rating, and if it can reach a 3% rating, it can be said to be a perverted achievement.

As the director of the sports channel, Director Du is very familiar with the viewing habits of domestic audiences. Domestic audiences are roughly divided into three types, the first is hardcore fans, this kind of audience will watch no matter how the game is played, taking the national football game as an example, even if it is a miserable loss, this kind of fans will insist on watching the game.

The second type of audience is the selective audience, who is used to watching the beginning of the game, and if the game is played well, they will continue to watch, and if the game is not satisfactory, they will not continue to watch. is also a national football game, if the opening game is played smoothly, this kind of audience will insist on sitting in front of the TV, but if the opponent has scored several goals in the first half, then this kind of audience will definitely not continue to watch the second half of the game.

The third type of audience is the spectator who is accustomed to watching tailwinds, and this type of spectator is often a "pseudo-sports fan" who will only watch the game when the side they support is ahead. For example, there are a large number of "pseudo fans", many people are afraid that they can't even tell the 11 people on the national football team, but if they play smoothly in the national football team, such as leading by one or two goals in the first half, then this kind of fans will be interested in watching the second half of the game, otherwise they will not watch the game.

The mass base of tennis in China is not strong, and many people don't know about this sport at all, so in a short period of time, the increase is the third type of audience, that is, "pseudo-tennis fans", many of these viewers are not even very clear about the rules of tennis, but after hearing that Zhang Guan led Federer 1-0, they began to pay attention to this game, or only then began to pay attention to this sport. It is precisely because of this that the ratings have soared rapidly in a short period of time.

"After today's match, there will probably be a lot of tennis spectators! The 1% of the new viewers have to find a way to retain these new audience groups. Thinking of this, Director Du picked up the phone and dialed the broadcast room.

"Tell the studio, interspersed with some basic rules, and there are a lot of new viewers, all watching this game."
