......

In the evening, Federer ended his fourth round of the Australian Open. In the game, he defeated Djokovic, a young teenager with unlimited potential, with a total score of 3-0.

At this time, Djokovic has shown a sharp edge. He was ranked 16th in the 2006 ATP year-end ranking, and in early 2007, he won the Adelaide hard court championship and a series of After the results, the world ranking also rose to 14th place. However, the tennis genius is still far away from Federer. Even if he is constantly trying to attack Federer's SLR with a double-reverse, he loses to Federer because of his too many mistakes.

As of now, Federer’s promotion has been very smooth. From the first round, Federer has beaten his opponent 3-0 in each game. According to the current status of Federer, it seems that Federer has already won the current Australian Open. The championship income is in the bag.

Federer soaked in the jacuzzi for a while. When he stepped out of the bathroom, he saw his girlfriend Mirka playing with the laptop.

"Roger, just now Mr. Roche called and said that there was a very interesting game. Let me see it. I have found the video of the game for you." Mirka said while turning the laptop Put it on the table.

Mr. Roche in the mouth of Mr. Roche is Federer’s tennis coach. Roche is arguably the most famous tennis coach in the world. Federer spent a lot of energy to make Roche his own coach. It was only after three visits that Deluo cut out the mountain. However, Roche will only give Federer some guidance before the big game, and he will not play with Federer around the world on weekdays.

When he heard that Roche had designated the game, Federer did not dare to carelessly. He quickly wiped his hair with a towel, sat down on the sofa, and said, "Who is the game?" >

"Zhang Guan against Nalbandian." Mirka answered.

"This is it! I know that Zhang Guan3-0 defeated Nalbandian. I was also surprised when I heard yesterday. I know the strength of Nalbandian best, although he was injured because of injury. It affects the state, but the sharp backhand is still the world's first. And Zhang Guan can beat him, it is incredible. I wanted to look at this video yesterday to watch it, but to prepare for the battle with Djoko Vicki’s game, so I didn’t go to watch it.” Federer finished clicking the mouse and started playing the video of the game.

"Zhang Guan is a one-handed backhand shot! And like me, it is also held in the right hand... He feels familiar with the backhand shot!" Federer said while watching the video.

"Of course you will feel familiar, don't you think Zhang Guan's backhand is very similar to your backhand?" Mirka said.

"It's really like my backhand, but it feels more powerful than my backhand! But even then, it can't deal with Nalbandian! You see, a backhand from Nalbandian. He will not be able to reach the line," Federer said.

The video of the game soon came to the second game.

"This is serving the Internet!" Federer sighed, and then said: "Zhang Guan is the fastest person in the world. His mobility is definitely very strong, and it is normal to use the service to play the Internet. And This style of play really restrains Nalbandian's backhand."

"The timing of the Internet access is very good, and the hitting point is also well controlled, which is exactly where Nalbandian cannot reach. Well, Zhang Guan looks very skilled at serving the Internet. With this hand serve online, it is estimated to have the level of a grand slam seed player! Where did he learn this set from Sharapova?"

"Huh? How to catch the ball and go online! This is not a good choice to go online, but it has been successful!" Federer's expression finally changed, and he now understood why Coach Roche would let him specialize Take a look at this game.

"This ball is going to be online too! Is the ball in front of the net? Beautiful! This ball is too beautiful to play, mobilizing Nalbandian completely!"

"Still online! This ball is not necessary. Isn't it better to hit the bottom line! Sure enough, it is out of bounds. But this ball is not unsuccessful, but the luck is slightly worse..."

Federer became more and more serious and couldn't help but fall into the game. At the same time, he was thinking about how to deal with this kind of ball.

The video reached the third set of both parties. Nalbandian was in a state of nowhere because he was worried about his injury. Federer also suspended the video. He knew that the video had no meaning to continue watching. Federer had passed it. All the information you want.

"Yes, this is the play on the net! This is the world's top play on the net! This play reminds me of Sampras!" Federer's breath suddenly rushed and he closed Eyes remembered the scene of Wimbledon in 2001.

In 2001, Federer, who was under twenty years old, met Wimbledon’s then king Sampras. Federer defeated the king of Wimbledon on the grass, which was also Federer’s famous battle.

But Federer knew that he was not facing Sampras in the heyday. At that time, Sampras was 30 years old, and the speed was not as good as before. Sampras lost his best play in the net. With the support of speed, the power is greatly reduced.

For Federer, failing to compete with Sampras at the peak is a very regrettable thing, especially in the past few years, Federer has reached the peak of the world, this feeling of regret The more intense.

Now, Federer has seen this world-leading online play again. The fire in his heart is burning again. He feels that he finally has the opportunity to make up for this regret!

"I really want to compete with Zhang Guan! Hurry up and see when I can meet Zhang Guan." Federer immediately found the match table, then a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

"Zhang Guan is actually in Zone 3~IndoMTL.com~ and I'm in Zone 1, we won't meet it until the finals! How could this be?"

In the Australian Open seed group, No. 1 seed is in Zone 1, No. 2 seed is in Zone 4, No. 3 seed is in Zone 3, No. 4 seed is in Zone 2, and the semi-final match is against zone 1 qualifying players against 2 Zone qualifying players, Zone 3 qualifying players against Zone 4 qualifying players, that is to say, players in the first half of the zone want to meet players in the second half of the zone, only the finals can.

"Now is the fourth round, and the second round of the Zhang Guan has not yet started. Can he reach the finals? There is also a Davydenko in the 3rd zone where Zhang Guan is located. They may be in the quarter. One of the finals meets, and Nadal is in the 4th zone, and may become a qualifying player in the 4th zone. Zhang Guan needs to win the two before entering the final, can he do it? By the way, the fourth round of Zhang Guan The game hasn't started yet, let's see who his opponent is in the fourth round!"

Federer immediately found the fourth round of the match table and saw the opponent of Zhang Guan.

"How is this tough guy!" (To be continued.)
