Federer's match was also played on this day, at the Stade Phillip. However, Federer's game was played in the second game, while Zhang Guan's game was in the fourth, and there was a Yankovic vs. Bartoli game in between. Federer was keen to see Zhang Guan's game, but he obviously didn't have the time to wait for two hours at the Phillip Stadium, so as soon as the game was over, he returned to the hotel and watched the game live on TV.

"Davydenko is playing so steadily today, even if Zhang Guan constantly changes the rhythm of offense and defense, Davydenko is still immovable, not giving Zhang Guan the slightest flaw!" Federer opened his mouth to comment.

Although Davydenko is a "big brush" who participates in more than 30 competitions a year, he must have outstanding strength to be able to brush his points to the fourth place in the world. Although Davydenko is not a talented player, his basic skills are still quite solid after hard work, coupled with the games he has accumulated, once Davydenko decides to seek stability, it is indeed difficult to break through his defense.

What's more, Davydenko is in very good form in this French Open, he won his opponent 3-0 in the first few rounds, such as this French Open, if there is no Zhang Guan, Davydenko will not be eliminated by Federer until the semifinals.

"Maybe this steady style of play is a good way to deal with Zhang Guan, at least in the French Open." Federer muttered to himself.

At this time, the match between Zhang Guan and Davydenko also entered the tie-break.

Thirty-two beats, thirty-nine beats, forty beats...... The scene made Federer's brow furrow.

"Davydenko is still going to lose!" Federer spoke suddenly.

Milka confirmed the score and asked, "Why is Davydenko losing?" The scores of the two sides are so tight, no one has been able to break serve, it looks like a balance of power? ”

"In the first few rounds of the competition, there were at least 18 beats, and then there were more than 20 beats on several occasions. This was followed by more than 30 beats, and the last shot was even more than 40 beats. Federer paused and continued: "Although the pace of the French Open is slow, it is very taxing for the athletes to play such a long round with several consecutive balls. ”

If it's a flat shot, the two pros won't feel too tired even if they play 180 shots. However, the French Open is a clay court, and topspin is the best choice on clay court, and flat shots are relatively rare. Especially in recent years, the emergence of Nadal has made topspin popular at the French Open, and all players have started to use powerful topspin.

The more you pursue spin, the more you need muscles to increase friction, even if you have a very good endurance, you can play dozens of beats of topspin in a row. You may also feel tired.

At this time, Davydenko felt a feeling of fatigue in his arm, and it was only then that he suddenly realized.

"Zhang Guan deliberately played this kind of long-shot holding ball!"

It's a pity that Davydenko is still a step late, and with a score of 5-5 in the seventh game, he has no chance and no longer dares to change his tactical strategy, he can only hold on.

The score came to 6-6, and it was another long shot of stalemate, thirty beats later. Davydenko made a riback and he felt it. His spin was very poor and his speed was average, almost a non-threatening comeback.

The fatigue of the arms is most directly reflected in the degree of rotation of the ball, with the physical exertion, Davydenko can not maintain the high level of friction between the racket and the ball, and naturally cannot maintain high spin.

The score of this game was finally fixed at 8-6. Zhang Guan won the tie-break.

……

"Davydenko's physical strength is better than I thought, I didn't expect him to last so long. Wait a minute, Davydenko seems to be the same age as Federer, both are twenty-six years old! is in the prime of life, and good physical fitness should also be. Zhang Guan thought as he spoke. While looking at Davydenko, Davydenko's already very thin yellow hair was shaved to only a thin layer, and the high hairline had a tendency to top out.

"Twenty-six looks like forty-six, always imagining him as an older player!" Zhang Guan smiled self-deprecatingly.

When Zhang Guan realized Davydenko's tactics of seeking stability, he also remembered Coach Zhang's reminder to play meticulously and patiently, so Zhang Guan did not continue to attack, but thought about countermeasures in a stable stalemate.

Davydenko's image always made Zhang Guan feel that he was a young player, and Zhang Guan subconsciously felt that the older players lacked physical strength, so he formulated the kind of long-shot strategy just now. Drain Davydenko's stamina first, and when he can't maintain high-speed topspin, he is attacking.

Davydenko was able to participate in more than 30 matches a year, and his physical strength was certainly not too weak, but he was born with a relatively average physical fitness, so his physical strength was not considered top-notch, and in the end, he couldn't withstand the competition of consecutive multiple shots in the tie-break and lost the first set.

In the second set, the two sides still held more rackets, but they still played a tie-break.

The pace of the game in the tie-break game was much faster, and Zhang Guan was still using the tactics just now, continuing to hold on to each other for a long time, obviously because Davydenko's endurance was not as good as his own.

Davydenko also saw Zhang Guan's intentions, his expression revealed a sense of helplessness, and he realized that his strategy of seeking stability had failed.

Davydenko's expression became silent, he knew that Zhang Guan was far stronger than himself in terms of physical fitness and athletic talent, and whenever he encountered such an opponent, Davydenko would always become silent.

Davydenko has no outstanding athletic talent, no top physical fitness, and no outstanding technical characteristics, he only honors hard work, he believes that hard work can make up for his shortcomings, and he has also entered the ranks of the world's top tennis players with hard work. But at the moment, he felt that feeling of weakness again, and against Zhang Guan, who is extremely physically and athletically, Davydenko really couldn't find any way to win, even on the clay courts that he does best.

Davydenko put in ninety-nine percent of his efforts, but he lacked that one percent of talent!

……

In front of the TV, Federer looked at Davydenko with pity.

"Nikolai [Davydenko] is the hardest working fighter I've ever met, and if he had had had a little bit of physicality and athleticism, he wouldn't have been where he is today." Federer spoke.

"In sports, hard work is not enough, physical fitness and athletic talent are more important than hard work." Milka said with great feeling.

Federer was also impressed, and he continued: "Davydenko's strategy of seeking stability seems to be very useful against Zhang Guan, and I want to give it a try." ”

Milka looked at Federer in some surprise, and Federer continued: "Davydenko lost in body and talent, not tactically!" Fortunately, I don't lack body and talent, and if I make up for the two things that Davydenko lacks, I should be able to defeat Zhang Guan! (To be continued.) )
