The next day, Sampras faced the camera of reporters again.

"Is Zhang Guan my disciple? No, no, no, I didn't teach Zhang Guan any tips on how to play in front of the net. ”

"Why is Zhang Guan's playing style in front of the net the same as mine? I think that's normal, a decade or so ago, tennis players all over the world were studying my style of play, just like everyone is studying Federer now. At that time, there should have been a lot of video and written materials preserved, which was enough for people to learn for a long time. ”

"Can you learn how to play in front of the net by watching videos and texts? I'm afraid it's difficult for ordinary people, but there will always be some geniuses in this world, and Zhang Guan is undoubtedly a genius! It's normal for ordinary people not to understand the world of geniuses. ”

"Of course I'm optimistic that Zhang Guan will win the title, in fact, I was a little hesitant before yesterday's fight, but when I watched yesterday's fight, I confirmed it. Zhang Guan's style of play in front of the net is the same as I was at my peak, and I think he can sweep any opponent at Wimbledon. ”

At the same time, Zhang Guan also accepted an interview with the media.

"Sampras is my idol, I have been studying Sampras's play in front of the net for a long time and trying to imitate his style of play. As you know, the play in front of the net is the best way to play at Wimbledon, and I hope to use it to win Wimbledon. ”

"Sampras's personal guidance, if you can, would have been great! I'm certainly looking forward to learning the best way to play at the net in the world from Sampras.

In the face of reporters, Zhang Guan of course wants to praise Sampras beautifully. After all, he is a senior in tennis, and he is once the world's top athlete, so praising the other party is definitely the best choice. The more mature the athlete, the less easily he will say that he has surpassed a well-known predecessor, or that he is about to beat a well-known predecessor, even if he really surpasses a certain senior, this should come out of the mouth of others. And not from your own mouth.

There were no upsets on the first day of Wimbledon, with the likes of Federer and Roddick progressing smoothly, while a few matches were postponed to the next day due to heavy rain. In the next day's game, Nadal, Djokovic and other strong players also swept their opponents 3-0 and successfully advanced to the second round.

On the third day of Wimbledon, Zhang Guan ushered in his second round against Thailand's Udomjok.

At 26 years old, Oudomjok is in the prime of tennis players. However, as an Asian player, the lack of physical talent also limits Oudomjok's room for improvement. His technical characteristics are similar to those of most Asian athletes, with relatively weak strength but flexible movement.

Weaker players tend not to have too strong serves. At Wimbledon, a short enough serve would have cost you half of the match, so the outcome of the match was already sealed.

……

On Centre Court, Udomjok has completely lost the will to resist, and now the two sides are playing the third set, in the first two sets Zhang Guan two 6-0 to beat Udomjok, and the third set is also 5-0, Oudomjok is about to swallow the third zero.

"No wonder Lee Hen-taek couldn't even win a game, it turned out that it was so difficult to win a set from Zhang Guan. We are all Asian athletes, how can we have such a big strength between us! "Oudomjok's mind was completely off playing, and he naturally surrendered.

……

In the second round of the Wimbledon Open, which ended today, third seed Zhang Guan continued his good momentum. They easily defeated Udomchok 6-0, 6-0, 6-0 and made it to the third round. During the game, Udomjok was helpless in the face of Zhang Guan's play in front of the net, whether it was on the offensive or defensive end. was completely suppressed by Zhang Guan, making the game unsuspenseful. Zhang's next bout will be on June 29 against Spain's Verdasco. ”

Coach Zhang turned off the TV. He said, "In the next round, I finally met a decent opponent." The 24-year-old Verdasco, currently ranked 40th in the world, is a Spaniard and a native of Nadal, so his style of play is somewhat similar to Nadal's, both are strong forehand topspins. This style of play is good for Guo Xu in the French Open, but it is difficult to achieve good results in Wimbledon. But be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, and you still don't take it lightly when you race. ”

Zhang Guan nodded, there are actually many excellent tennis players in West Extraction, such as Robredo, Ferrer, Ferrero, Moya, etc., all of whom can be ranked in the top 20 in the world, but Nadal's light is so dazzling that it is easy for everyone to ignore other excellent players in Spain.

……

On June 29, Zhang Guan faced Verdasco's challenge in the third round of Wimbledon.

At the beginning of the match, Zhang Guan launched an attack, caught Verdasco off guard, and the first four games were 4-0, which made the first set between the two sides no suspense, and finally Zhang Guan also won the first set with a score of 6-2.

In the second set, Zhang continued to work hard, broke serve in the first game of Verdasco, and then established a 2-0 lead, and then both sides held serve to alternately rise to 4-2, and in the seventh game, Zhang Guan broke serve again, and successfully held serve in the eighth game, and won the second set 6-2.

In the third set, Verdasco's form finally picked up, and he changed his tactics and opted to play more often. At this time, Verdasco also knew that he had to attack boldly, and his bold attack did achieve very good results, at least in the first eight games of the game, Zhang Guan did not break the serve, and the score of the two sides was tied 4-4 after eight games. However, in the next two games, Verdasco's repeated unforced errors made him unable to maintain his aggressive attack, and finally Zhang Guan won the third set with a score of 6-4. As a result, he also won the whole match and successfully advanced to the round of 16 of Wimbledon.

Verdasco shook his head in disappointment, but he also knew that he didn't have the slightest chance of winning this match. But for the world ranked 40th, being able to reach the third round of Wimbledon is already a good result.

……

Walking on the players' tunnel, Zhang Guan opened his mouth and asked: "My next opponent should be Ljubicic!" I've never fought Ljubicić before. ”

"It's not Ljubicic, it's Matthew." Coach Zhang spoke. (To be continued.) )
