On the tennis court behind the hotel, Zhang Guan is testing the effect of equipping a tennis racket.

"Sure enough, it was about the same as I expected, equipped with a tennis racket, from serving to receiving, as long as the racket was used, it was improved in all aspects." Zhang Guan stopped, estimating the results of the test in his mind.

"In terms of accuracy, it's at least 10 to 15 percent better, and that improvement can make the difference between victory and defeat. In the past, many difficult balls were not easy to control, but now it is much easier to control the landing point of the ball. ”

"In addition, playing the spin ball, whether it is topspin or side spin, it feels easier than before, and you can achieve the same spin effect with less force, and if you use more force, the spin will be stronger than before."

"This racket can bring me so much ability improvement, it seems that the tennis shoes in the system are also necessary to buy." Zhang Guan found the column of shoes sold in the system mall and bought a pair of all-terrain tennis shoes.

In tennis, active running is the key to success, and with data analysis, 50% of tennis wins depend on the movement of the sport. And if you want to run even better, tennis shoes are definitely an essential piece of equipment.

The front rubber upper bag of tennis shoes is relatively sufficient, and there are long extensions on both sides, which is conducive to the athlete's emergency stop; The forefoot of the shoe is often thicker on both sides, which is to make the athlete more stable when moving laterally, and at the same time can have an effective way to slip; The back half of the tennis shoe is relatively small, which allows the athlete to retreat more quickly and smartly.

In reality, the design of the soles of tennis shoes is also different depending on the playing field, the soles with prominent gelatinous lines are preferred on grass courts, and the soles with wide groove lines should be selected for sandy courts. Of course, if you are not very professional, you can also use multi-functional soles. It can be better adapted to all types of venues.

The tennis shoes in the system are not so complicated, and the biggest advantage of equipping a pair of tennis shoes in the system is that it can improve Zhang Guan's mobility ability. Zhang Guan's original mobility ability was very good, and now after being equipped with tennis shoes, it is even more powerful.

"With a racket and a sneaker, my strength has probably increased by nearly two percent, so the chances of winning against Federer are relatively large, and tomorrow's game, as long as the luck is not very bad, I should be able to win!" Zhang Guan thought about it carefully. Then, shaking his head, he removed all the rackets and shoes he had equipped from the system and put them in his inventory for the time being.

"It's better not to equip rackets and shoes yet, after all, it's a Grand Slam final, and the opponent is Federer, so let's not show all the hole cards."

……

On January 28, the 14th match day of the Australian Open, at half past four in the afternoon, the main venue of the Australian Open, Rod Laver Stadium, ushered in the last match of this Australian Open. It was also the finale of the men's singles final, with defending No.1 seed Federer and unseeded Zhang Guan.

This game, which was regarded by the media and the public as no longer suspenseful, still attracted a lot of audiences, especially in Australia, where there are many Chinese audiences. He rushed to Melbourne from all over Australia to cheer for Zhang Guan.

In China, the CCTV Sports Channel, which is responsible for broadcasting this game, also started a special program for the Australian Open as early as an hour and a half. played the highlights of the game in the process of Zhang Guan's promotion, and the host and Director Su also talked endlessly for more than an hour as if they were talking about lip-synch.

And in Australia itself. The broadcaster's focus was entirely on Federer.

Federer has already won nine Grand Slam trophies and today he will be aiming for his tenth Grand Slam trophy. It's incredible, considering that Federer is only 26 years old this year, and it looks like he has a good chance of breaking Sampras's world record of 14 Grand Slam titles! ”

That's right, and with Nadal out of the quarter-finals, Federer continues to hold the No. 1 spot in the world. Grand Slam finals have 2,000 ATP points. However, even if Nadal enters the final, it is unlikely that he will surpass Federer and become the first ATP points, after all, the difference between the two is close to 4,000 points! ”

"So what are Federer's ATP points now? More than 8000? ”

"Well, let me see, if Federer wins the championship today, he will continue to be ranked first in the world with 8120 points, and if he loses, his points will be 7320, which is also ranked first in the world! After all, Nadal, ranked second in the world, has just over 4,000 points. ”

"In this way, the runner-up of the Grand Slam can get 1200 points, and Zhang Guan should not have a single point! If he gets 1,200 points for second place, where will he stand? ”

"Probably 22nd! If Zhang Guan wins the championship, 2000 points will be enough to put him in the top 10 in the world, yes, it will be 10th! ”

"The first time you enter the ATP world rankings, you can enter the top 10, which should make history! However, Zhang's opponent is Federer, so it is almost impossible for Zhang Guan to win. However, at the top of 22 in the world, he still made history! The 1200 points of the Grand Slam runner-up is already more than the championship points of the ATP1000 level, after all, the championship of the ATP1000 event is only 1000 points, which is 200 points less than the runner-up of the Grand Slam, Zhang Guan should be satisfied. ”

Finally, the sponsor representative finished his speech before the final, and the men's singles final is about to begin.

"Viewers, you're watching the final of the men's singles event at the 2007 Australian Open, where defending champion No. 1 seed Federer takes on unseeded Zhang Guan. It is worth mentioning that this is Zhang Guan's first time participating in a professional tennis tournament, and he did so through a wild card, and he also became the first wild card to participate in the Australian Open and reach the final. Now the first game between the two sides has begun, and Federer will start to serve! ”

"Federer is sometimes slow to heat up, I don't know how he is doing today." Zhang Guan was ready to receive the ball, but with the referee's "OUT", Federer made a mistake on the first serve.

On the second serve, Federer used his signature topspin serve. Federer's topspin serve, which lands very accurately, bounces at a low and flat angle, coupled with strong topspin, is also very difficult for the receiver.

However, the speed of this kind of ball is not fast, and if the opponent is a baseline player and has a good ability to move, Federer's topspin serve will be greatly reduced. Nadal, for example, uses a baseline defensive style of play, and Nadal is the most mobile player among the professionals, so Federer's topspin serve poses a very limited threat to Nadal.

Zhang Guan's mobility is not inferior to Nadal's, and at the beginning of the game, Zhang Guan also chose a bottom-line style of play, so Federer's topspin serve almost did not pose a threat to Zhang Guan. After only three beats together, Federer made a mistake and hit the ball out of bounds.

On the first ball of both sides, in Federer's service game, Zhang Guan temporarily took the lead.

"Federer's form looks average, is it a slow start again? So I have a chance to break in the first game! (To be continued.) )

PS: The fourth watch is completed, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass! The outbreak will continue tomorrow.
