On June 10th, at 2 pm Paris time, the final game of the French Open this year was also the most important game. The men’s singles final was held at the Philippe Chatie Stadium. ◢Щщш.suimeng.lā

At this time, the domestic time is nine o'clock in the evening. Although the time is slightly later, it is a weekend evening at any time, plus the Zhang Guan game, so there are still many spectators waiting in front of the TV to wait to watch this game .

When Nadal entered the stadium, the audience immediately gave him a warm applause. They cheered the "King" on the French Open, and the red and yellow Spanish flag around the stadium was more conspicuous.

When Zhang Guan came out, the applause and cheers were much smaller. Zhang Guan looked around the stands and instantly found several five-star red flags, which made Zhang Guan feel more stable.

"Sure enough, Nadal is really popular here." Zhang Guan can feel the gap between him and Nadal from the audience's voice.

Two years ago, 19-year-old Nadal participated in the French Open for the first time, and you defeated Federer in the semi-finals. In the final, he defeated Argentine Mariano Puerta and won the first place in his life. A Grand Slam champion, and at that time, Nadal was hailed as the "son of the French Open". It can be said that this field is where Nadal became famous.

And now, Nadal holds two French Open champions and comes to this arena again. The son of the former French Open, the king of red clay today, came to the place where he was crowned. For granted.

Romantic French fans shouted passionately, igniting the entire stadium, heating up the stadium, the air was filled with a sense of suffocation before the competition, and just before the audience's ability to endure time. The game finally started.

“Almost all the audience cheered and cheered for Nadal. Today’s Philip Stadium has become Nadal’s home. I don’t know if this will be the first time for the French Open final Zhang Guan Causes psychological pressure. However, Zhang Guan has a lot of experience in major competitions. I think his psychological quality should be very strong! Okay, Zhang Guan brush serves first!" The commentator's voice suddenly stopped, and two seconds later, Zhang Guan started the first serve of the game.

The tennis ball flew over the net and was touched by Nadal out of bounds.

"Serving and scoring! It seems that my previous worries were superfluous. Zhang Guan was not affected by the atmosphere on the field!" the commentator said.

Next, Zhang Guan continued to serve, and after a three-shot stalemate, Zhang Guan forehanded a wide-range transfer and scored another point.

However, for this goal, Nadal obviously did not rush to chase, but instead ran two tokens and stopped.

After all, this is the first game of the two sides. In the face of Zhang Guan opponents, Nadal, as the receiver, did not intend to break the first game. It is still warm-up, so there is no need to chase every ball. After all, tennis requires a lot of running, and a lot of large-scale movements need to be made in the game. If you don’t warm up enough, it is still easy to get injured.

Zhang Guan also needs a warm-up. Although he is a track and field athlete, especially the king of sprinting, his body will certainly not warm up slowly, so the warm-up time is much less, he can enter the race faster.

In the first game. When the score reached 40-0, Nadal gradually began to find the state, he pulled the score to 40-15, and eventually lost a goal. Zhang Guan temporarily led 1-0.

In the second game of both sides, Nadal continued to pick up. Although he did not issue an ACE ball or serve directly to score, but his perfect forehand cooperated with the active offensive, it was relatively easy to win his own service. The two sides reached a 1-1 draw.

After the two rounds, although the scores of both sides are 1-1, both sides know that the real game started. The first two rounds of the game can be said to be a warm-up process for both players. It was a process of temptation with each other, and then, the real fierce confrontation officially began.

At the beginning of the third game, Zhang Guan preempted and an ACE ball took the lead, but then in the second ball, Zhang Guan encountered a strong resistance from Nadal.

Nadal did not choose a landing point that was very close to the edge. His direction of shot was still very stable, but Nadal strengthened the rotation of the ball. With a strong top spin, the tennis ball always bounced high after landing. While Zhang Guan forehandedly hit back, he felt that it was so uncomfortable to catch the ball.

"This ball is difficult to control!" Zhang Guan still underestimated the rotation of Nadal's forehand, then the return of the ball was slightly shorter, and Nadal caught the opportunity to counterattack.

This is Nadal's forehand, which always makes his opponent uncomfortable. Even if the speed is not fast, even if there is no tricky landing point, it will definitely carry the strongest rotation in the world.

I saw Nadal's forehand swing and the tennis ball flew directly to Zhang Guan's backhand. The quality of Nadal's play is very good. For Nadal who shoots with his left hand, it is very comfortable to use the forehand to attack the backhand of Zhang Guan.

"The rotation is still strong!" Zhang Guan has already felt this. This ball, Nadal is a forehand hit with both hands, and Zhang Guan is a one-handed backhand hit. It is definitely a loss in strength. If you choose the conventional method of receiving the ball, it is easy to make mistakes, so Zhang Guan simply comes With a strong effort, a backhand cut the ball and hit the ball back across the net.

"Backhand cutting! Zhang Guan really used backhand cutting, and his choices are the same as Federer." Nadal was very happy, this is one of the results he wanted to face most.

When Nadal and Federer played against each other before, when Nadal forehandedly attacked Federer's backhand, Federer would also make the same choice, using backhand cutting, which seemed to be a reasonable response. But in the clay court, facing Federer's backhand cutting, Nadal can always find a forehand pressure to create more offensive opportunities.

So at this time, Nadal was quite easy to face this backhand cutting, he directly chose to press forward continuously, won the ball, and scored 15-15 in the third game.

......

"My backhand happened to match Nadal's forehand, and it was too bad to play this way!" Zhang Guan thought for a while and decided to still rely on the forehand to deal with Nadal.

This time, Zhang Guan chose to return with a forehand after serving, and the attack was also Nadal's backhand.

Nadal held the racket with both hands and returned the ball to Zhang Guan. The ball was not fast and the landing point was not deep, but from these two points, it was a good catch.

However, Zhang Guan remembered the coach’s warning that Nadal’s backhand still has a strong spin~IndoMTL.com~ So even if the ball is not deep enough, it seems to be easy to catch the ball, Zhang Guan is still careful .

Sure enough, Nadal's backhand still has a strong rotation. When the ball landed, the height of the bounce made Zhang Guan confirm this.

"Don't think that only you can hit a high spin ball!" Zhang Guan slammed hard, and this time, he is also preparing to use topspin to deal with Nadal.

The tennis ball leaped across the net, and Nadal moved quickly to the catch.

At the next moment, the tennis ball bounced high and rushed towards the position above Nadal's head.

"Topspin, a strong topspin!" Nadal exclaimed.
