Almighty Athlete Chapter 104: Mid counted
"The next opponent is Davidenko, and he won the quarter-finals. [w.SuiMеng.lā" Zhang Guan looked at the match table, and then said: "The game time is on June 3. Day, still at Philip Stadium."
Zhang Guan is in the upper half of 2/4. After watching his matchup, Zhang Guan turned his attention to the lower half of 2/4.
Only one of the four seed players in the second half is left. No. 5 seed Gonzalez was eliminated in the first round. 11th good seed Gasquet and 27th seed Melzer both stopped second. In the second round, the two players who advanced to the top 16 in the second half are the 19th seed Canas and the non-seed Monaco, both of whom are Argentines.
"Don't look at the second half first, your next opponent is Davidenco, but it is not so easy to deal with." Coach Zhang said.
Zhang Guan showed a very confident expression: "I won Davydenko at the Australian Open, and I feel that his strength is not very strong. Although there are a lot of competitions in the "model" Davydenko, ATP points are also ranked Fourth place, but the real strength is not comparable to his fame."
"What did Joyce tell you?" Coach Zhang shook his head slightly, obviously disagreeing with Coach Joyce's statement. He said: "Davidenko's red clay strength cannot be underestimated. So far Five of the 10 ATP titles won by Widenko are clay courts. The Estoril Tour 2003, the Munich Tour 2004, the St. Peter Vine Tour 2005 and the Brahms Tour, In 2006, the Supo tour was on clay courts. In addition, the three tour runner-ups he has won are all on clay courts. It can be said that clay courts are the most popular venues for Davydenko."
Coach Zhang threw Davydenko’s transcript to Zhang Guan, and then said: “Although Davydenko has no obvious strengths, he also has no obvious weaknesses, and he is a very stable and patient player. It makes it easy for him to get results in clay matches."
Zhang Guan nodded with a straight face, and then asked: "What should I pay attention to in the game?"
"Meticulous and patient. You can’t be careless and treat each ball carefully. To do this, even if you have won half of the victory, and the other half of the victory, you need to be patient. Red clay On the field, Davidenco must be very patient, you have to be at least as patient as he is." Coach Zhang said.

In the game on June 2, Sharapova defeated Kudriazeva 2-0 to advance to the fourth round of the women’s singles, also on this day. Japanese veteran Sugiyama fell in love with Chuck Vitazer and missed the round of 16, so far the Asian women's singles have been annihilated, and the singles in Asia have only Zhang Guan.
On the same day, Nadal spent his 21st birthday. On his birthday, he swept the Montanas 3-0 and advanced to the men's singles round of 16. In this game, Nadal gradually found his best state, which can be seen at this time. It is very different from a week ago, and even the media said that Nadal has entered the French Open championship mode.
On June 3, Zhang Guan and Sharapova started their fourth round of the journey, Zhang Guan will face No. 4 seed Davidovic at Philip Stadium, and Chalabi I will face Schneider at Susan Stadium Fortunately, the match between the two of them was scheduled for the fourth game, so the start time of the game was almost the same.
......
"Audience friends, the next is the men's singles No. 4 seed Davidovic against the men's singles No. 15 seed Zhang Guan. The two had a match before. That was at this year's Australian Open, Zhang Guan3 -0 wins over Davidenko. So today's game is a battle of vengeance for Davidenko!"
The lens is aimed at Davidenco, hoping to capture something. Davydenko showed a gentleman-like smile, showing a relaxed state.
For players like Davydenko who can participate in more than 30 games a year, they have long forgotten the feeling of tension.
After a few shots of warm-up, the two sides started a formal match.
In the first four games, the two sides reached a 2-2 draw, and no one could break. In the next few games, although Zhang Guan strengthened the offensive, but still did not find a chance to break Davydenko’s serve. Both sides came and went, and in an instant, they finished 10 games, and the score became 5- 5.
"Davydenko played so stable today." Zhang Guan has already noticed the tactics used to reach Videnko today, that is one word-stable!
Whether it is serving or receiving, Davidenco’s performance is extremely stable. Of the five serving games in the first set, Davidenco did not issue an ACE ball. This is not Davido’s failure to issue an ACE. The skill is because he didn't intend to serve ACE at all. In Davydenko's serve, his serve is not for the purpose of direct scoring, but for the initiative and better suppression of Zhang Guan.
Davidenco also put stability in the first place when receiving the ball. In some places where Zhang Guan seems to be able to attack boldly, Davydenko chose to give up. Even if it is an attack, it is not the kind of desperate attack. The offensive was frustrated, it immediately stopped, and continued to hold on to stability.
Although this method can’t be cracked, Zhang Guan’s “running and attacking method”, but the stability of serving and receiving, makes Zhang Guan unable to find a very suitable attacking time, even if Zhang Guan constantly changes the offensive and defensive rhythm. Davydenko is as stable as Tarzan, with few flaws.
If it is a hard court or a grass field, Zhang Guan will definitely be able to use the offensive and suppression to create more opportunities, but this is the clay court, the rhythm is a bit slower, Davydenko uses this strategy of seeking stability , Basically formed a tense or twenty-something stalemate.
After the twelve innings, the two sides were still tied, and then entered the first tie-break of both sides.
"It's finally dragged to the tie-break!" Davydenko showed a relieved smile on his face. His stable play has a huge advantage in the tie-break. A tie-break is not easy to make a mistake, so the more stable the style of the game, the more favorable the tie-break.
"Although Zhang Guan still issued a few ACE shots, compared with the Australian Open, the French Open clay court has greatly reduced his serving power, lacking this important weapon, Zhang Guan's advantage in the tiebreaker It was weakened again. So when the Zhang Guan serves, it may be my chance." Davydenko started serving while thinking.
This is a 28-shot long shot, and Davidenco finally saved the ball.
Next, Zhang Guan served, but what Davidenco didn’t expect was that Zhang Guan also used a relatively conservative way of serving.
Another twenty-one long round, Zhang Guan scored a point.
The next ball appeared again with a long 25-beat round. This is followed by 18 beats, 22 beats, and 19 beats. In the seventh goal of both sides, the two sides actually played 32 shots, followed by the eighth goal, the two sides made an amazing 39 shots!
Although it’s a clay court~IndoMTL.com~ the ball is slower, but in modern tennis there are very few situations where you can hit 20 rackets. The 39-beat ultra-long round has set the longest shot in this French Open Number of records.
The score at this time is 4-4, and both sides are tied in the tiebreak.
The audience applauded, and the TV screen also showed that this is the longest shot of the French Open.
However, in the next ninth ball, the number of shots held by both parties exceeded this number, reaching an astonishing forty shots.
This kind of long round contest made the audience yell. The audience in front of the TV could not wait to rewind the program and watch the 40-shot contest again.
However, on the field, Davidenco rubbed his slightly sore biceps, constantly moving his wrists, and a complex expression appeared on his face.
"It feels a bit wrong, I seem to have taken the trick!" Davidenko thought silently. (To be continued.)
