Almighty Athlete Chapter 109: Promotion to the top 4
Canas stared at Zhang Guan opposite.
"As long as you win the newcomer Zhang Guan, you can enter the semi-finals! Although Zhang Guan is the Australian Open champion this year, how can I win even Federer, and which opponent can stop me!" Canas thought confidently.
"Even Federer can win" is the sentence Kanas most thought about in recent times. This is like a psychological suggestion, and the effect is very good, especially in the game, Kanas remembered this Words, and then think of the moment of victory over Federer, always full of strength.
After that, Canas started to serve. As an Argentine player, Canas's service level is fairly good, but the clay court weakened the service, which also made Canas's threat of serving greatly reduced.
Zhang Guan forehandedly received the serve, but Canas did not have the slightest temptation, directly launched the attack, and played a diagonal.
"Canas played very unrestrained!" Zhang Guan secretly said.
Canas moves very agilely, and the quality of the hitting is also great. It can be seen that today’s Canas is in a very good state.
Moving, hitting, and the psychological hint of defeating Federer, Canas played very actively, and he has successfully won his serve. Although it is not easy to win, it is not difficult. . From a professional point of view, it is a relatively balanced situation.
Tennis is a game where the server is dominant. The so-called balance of power is that the server is not too difficult to keep the service, and the receiver will get one or two points in the other service.
The subsequent service in Zhang Guan was similar. No one of the two sides had a clear advantage, and Zhang Guan also succeeded.
The game came to 2-2 at this rhythm, and then to Canas' serve.
"It feels that this Zhang Guan is more difficult than Federer. The two of them are similar in technology, but the movement of Zhang Guan is more agile than Federer, which is more suitable for the clay court. Next I will strengthen the offense." Canas is ready to take the lead with a stronger attack.
The opposite is true for Zhang Guan.
"After all, Kanas is a veteran, and it is difficult to find any loopholes in technology, and he is also very active in running, and feels very excited. This is probably what Coach Zhang said. His recent state is very good! If you continue to play like this, you may be able to play against Davidenco again, and it is dragged to the tie-break. I still strengthen the offense and get the break point first."
The next time, the two made the same choice, that is, offensive, so almost at the beginning, the two sides launched a fierce confrontation.
When it comes to offense, many people think of online interception, but the French Open is not suitable for playing in front of the net, so most of the offense is still based on a wide range of high-angle shots, so the attack is turned into two. People draw a large angle of the ball, which also makes the game's appreciation of the game instantly improved.
Canas's offensive play is very passionate, which is a common feature of South American players, but Canas's offensive efficiency is not very high, can only be considered qualified.
In contrast to Zhang Guan, he started to use the running and attacking style. Changing the rhythm of offense and defense quickly can make the Zhang Guan better grasp the initiative, so as to carry out more effective suppression and get a higher offensive efficiency.
After 40-40, the two sides evenly scored twice. In the end, Zhang Guan took the lead in breaking a game with a more active play.
"What kind of tactics is this? I just thought it was a volley before the net, but he just entered the bottom line and hit the ball in advance. This is not a normal way of playing cards!" Kanas wrinkled Frowning, he already felt that this style of Zhang Guan made his rhythm start to become chaotic.
"I accidentally lost my serve, and now I'm 3-2 behind, and next is the serve of Zhang Guan, I have to break my hair!" Canas saves his energy and prepares for the next set Breaks in the middle and regains a goal.
In the serve of Zhang Guan, Canas fought even fiercerly, and also made several extremely beautiful hits, but also made several mistakes. The number of wonderful shots and turnovers is almost the same, which is destined for Canas to have no advantage. In this game, he won two goals but failed to break.
The score in the first set came to 4-2. In the next two games, Zhang Guan took a more stable approach. Both sides successfully secured the hair, but the score of 5-3 was quite full for Zhang Guan In the next game, Zhang Guan can win the first set.
The inventory was taken by Zhang Guan, and Kanas played a little more anxious. After a tie in this game, Kanas made a mistake at the crucial time. The ball fell outside the boundary and gave Zhang Guan a break point. Then, Zhang Guan seized the opportunity, continued forehand attack, successfully broke, and won this game while also winning the first set of games with a score of 6-3.
......
6-3 is a very disparate point difference. The unsatisfactory opening makes Kanas a little unhappy.
"I can win Federer, and I will definitely win!" Kanas continued to hypnotize himself. After a while, Kanas was full of energy again, and then he changed one. The new racket is on the field.
I have to say that self-hypnosis is really effective for Kanas.
Canas is also known as a young man. When he was young, he also entered the top ten of ATP, but at that time, he was contaminated with drugs, which almost ruined his career, and then Kanas He never reached the previous height. Now that he is thirty years old, he wants to climb the peak of the world again. It is already impossible. But perhaps because of the drug-contaminated experience, mental self-hypnosis has a very significant effect for Kanas.
After the start of the second set, Kanas returned to the state of excitement at the beginning of the game, swift running, strong return, active attack, and once there was a suppression of Zhang Guan in the serving game. a feeling of.
However, as time went on, Canas could not get a break for a long time, and his state was no longer hyperactive. In Canas's fourth serve, Zhang Guan scored a break again, and the score of this set was again fixed at 6-3.
The scores in both sets are 6-3. Canas has been pushed to the edge of the cliff. If he loses again in the next game, he will end the French Open.
Of course, Kanas won’t choose to sit still. In the third set, he started a crazy counterattack. However, what Kanas did not expect was that he even had unforced errors one after another, and the statistics after the game learned that Canas had 30 unforced errors in this game! The final score in the third set was ~IndoMTL.com~ The two sides played a total of ten rounds, which means that on average, Kanas will have three unforced errors in each round of the third set. In the Grand Slam semifinals, three unforced mistakes occurred in a game and basically surrendered.
As Canas returned to the ball out of bounds, the referee announced the end of the game.
"Congratulations to Zhang Guan for winning this game, he will advance to the semifinals, and his opponent in the semifinals is the winner between Federer and Robredo, but the game between Federer and Robredo is not over yet According to the latest news, Federer currently leads Robredo 2-1 in total score. If I remember correctly, this is also the first set of Federer lost in this French Open, and they are currently in the fourth game. Just started..."
......
Federer waved to the audience and then left the court. He successfully defeated No. 9 seed Robredo 3-1 and advanced to the semi-finals of the French Open.
As soon as Federer entered the player’s tunnel, he couldn’t wait to ask Mirka around him: “Is the game between Zhang Guan and Kanas over?”
"It's over, Zhang Guan won." Mirka nodded, then said: "The score is 3-0, it seems that Zhang Guan still wins relatively easily."
"The opponent in the semi-finals is still Zhang Guan! And there should be a Nadal ahead." Federer clenched his fists tightly. He felt that his road to the first French Open championship was really rough.
