Almighty Athlete Chapter 105: Effort and talent
Federer’s game is also on this day, and the venue is also the Philip Stadium. ◢Щщш.suimeng.lā But Federer's game was played in the second game, and Zhang Guan's game was in the fourth game, and there was also a game of Jankovic against Bartoli between the two. Although Federer wanted to watch the Zhang Guan game, he obviously didn't have the time to wait at Phillip Stadium for two hours, so as soon as he finished the game, he returned to the hotel and watched the game on live TV.
"Davidenco played well today. Even if Zhang Guan constantly changes the offensive and defensive rhythm, Davidenco is still immobile and does not give Zhang Guan the slightest flaw!" Federer said.
Although Davydenko is a "big brush" who participates in more than 30 competitions a year, but he is able to score points to the fourth place in the world, and he certainly has outstanding strength. Although Davydenko is not a talented player, his basic skills are still very solid. In addition to his accumulated games, once Davydenko decides to stabilize, it is really difficult to break through his defense.
What's more, Davydenko's status in this French Open is very good. In the first few rounds, he was 3-0 to defeat his opponent. For example, this French Open, if there is no Zhang Guan, Davydenko has to keep Federer will not be eliminated until the semifinals.
"Perhaps this stable 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 a tie-break.
Thirty-two, thirty-nine, forty... This scene made Federer frown.
"Davidenko is still losing!" Federer said suddenly.
Mirka confirmed the score and asked, “Why is Davidenko losing? The scores of both sides are so tight that no one can break, looks even?”
"The last few rounds of the contest, the minimum must also have an 18-beat hold, then there are several times more than 20 beats, followed by more than 30 beats, the last ball is forty beats." Federer's speech paused, and then said: "Although the French Open's rhythm is slow, but several consecutive **** have played such a long period of stalemate. The consumption of athletes is very large."
If it is a flat shot, the two professional players will not feel too tired even if they play a hundred and eighty shots, but the French Open is a clay court and topspin is the best choice for clay court. Flat hits are rare. Especially in recent years, the appearance of Nadal has made the spin on the French Open, and all players have started to use a strong top spin.
The pressure on the arm muscles when you spin a ball is actually very large. The more you pursue rotation, the more muscle force is needed to increase friction. Even players with very good endurance, who play dozens of topspins in a row, will feel tired.
At this time, Davydenko felt a sense of fatigue in his arm, and then he suddenly realized.
"Zhang Guan deliberately played this kind of long shot holding the ball!"
Unfortunately, Davydenko is still one step behind. With a 5-5 tie-break, he has no chance to dare to change his tactics. He can only hold on.
The score came 6-6, and it was another long shot, after thirty shots. Davydenko made a counterattack, and he also felt that his rotation of this ball was very poor, and the speed was also very ordinary, almost a threatless counterattack.
The impact of the fatigue of the arm is most directly reflected in the degree of rotation of the ball. With the exhaustion of physical strength, Davydenko cannot maintain the high-intensity friction between the racket and the ball. Keep high rotation.
The score for this round was finally fixed at 8-6, and Zhang Guan won the tiebreak.
......
"Davidenco is better than I thought. I didn’t expect him to last so long. Wait a minute. Davydenco seems to be the same age as Federer, all twenty-six years old! Good physical fitness should be." Zhang Guan looked at Davydenko while thinking. Davydenko's very thin yellow hair was shaved with only a thin layer left, and the high hairline has a tendency to thank.
"Twenty-six looks like forty-six, always think of him as an older player!" Zhang Guan smiled self-deprecatingly.
When Zhang Guan realized Davydenko’s strategy of seeking stability, he also remembered Coach Zhang’s reminder to play carefully and patiently, so Zhang Guan did not continue to attack. Instead, think of countermeasures in a stable relationship.
The image of Davydenko always makes Zhang Guan think he is a young player. Zhang Guan subconsciously feels that the older players are not physically fit enough, so he developed the long shot strategy just now. Davidenko's physical strength is consumed first, and he will make a strong attack when he cannot maintain a high-speed top spin.
Davidenco can participate in more than 30 games a year, and his physical strength is certainly not too weak, but his natural fitness is more general, so his physical strength is not top, and he can’t withstand multiple consecutive shots in the tiebreak. The first match was lost.
In the second set that followed, the two sides still held more shots, but they still hit the tiebreaker.
The pace of the tie-break is much faster. Zhang Guan is still using the same tactics as before and continues to hold long shots. Obviously, Davydenko’s endurance is not as good as his own.
Davidenko also saw the intention of Zhang Guan. His expression showed a frustration. He realized that his strategy of seeking stability had failed.
Davidenko’s expression became silent. He knew that Zhang Guan was much stronger than himself in terms of physical fitness and athleticism. Whenever he met this opponent, Davidenco always became silent.
Davidenko has no outstanding sports talent, no top physical qualities, and no outstanding technical characteristics. His only honor is hard work. He firmly believes that diligence can make up for it. He also entered the ranks of the world's top tennis players with his efforts. But at this moment, he once again felt the feeling of powerlessness. In the face of the Zhang Guan, which is extremely powerful in physical fitness and athletic talent, even in the clay court where he is best at, Davydenko can't find any way to win.
Davidenko made 99% of the effort, but he lacked that 1% of talent!
......
In front of the TV, Federer looked at Davydenko with pity.
"Nikola (Davidenko) is the hardest player I have seen~IndoMTL.com~ If he can have a better physical fitness and athletic talent, he will not only have the achievements today." Federer Said.
"In sports, effort is not enough, physical fitness and athleticism are more important than effort." Mirka said with emotion.
Federer is also very touched. He went on to say: "This set of Davydenko’s strategy of seeking stability seems to be very useful against Zhang Guan. I want to give it a try."
Mirka looked at Federer in amazement, and Federer continued: "Davidenko lost to body and talent, not tactics! Fortunately, I don’t lack physical and talent. If these two points are completed, you should be able to defeat Zhang Guan!" (To be continued.)
