Almighty Athlete Chapter 458: Rescan Masters Tournament


A Masters without a master is somewhat embarrassing for the organizers to come. The Chinese Masters has been held for so many years, and this has never happened.

In fact, in terms of prize money, the total prize money of the Rolex Masters exceeding US$5 million is already comparable to the year-end atp finals, second only to the four major tennis tournaments. And the atp1000 level tournament is also second only to the four majors in tennis, and there are few stops throughout the year. In addition to the four Grand Slams, the Masters is already the highest-level game.

It is reasonable to say that this level of competition is enough to attract players of Federer and Nadal levels. It will even be a very important competition. For the sake of bonuses and points, the Masters over the years There will always be one or two players from the Uranus level.

However, this year's Masters, the three tennis kings retired collectively.

The three kings of tennis, a method that has just been proposed in the last year. When Federer ruled tennis a few years ago, he was the only king; Nadal had always been Federer’s second term, and he was also blocked by fans after successfully achieving a Grand Slam achievement in 2010. For the sake of the king, the tennis have become the situation of Federer and Nadal. After the outbreak of Djokovic in 2011, he won three Grand Slams a year and swept many powerful players, showing the dominant power In addition to his previous fame, he also successfully promoted to the level of the king.

Although Murray has not yet won a Grand Slam title, he is the only one who can catch up with the three kings in points, but he also retired. All of a sudden, this year's Rolex Masters has a dim star, leaving only slightly less powerful players such as Ferrer, as well as Ljubicic, Roddick, Nalbandian, etc. Well-known veteran. Such players are really difficult to support such a large-scale event.

Ferrel, ranked fifth in the world, became the No. 1 seed of the tournament, but with Ferrer's level, it clearly cannot stop the pace of Zhang Guan winning the championship.

Zhang Guan went all the way, defeated the Spanish players Ferrero and Odasco, and then met the Czech player Bertic. In the recently concluded China Open game, Zhang Guan once played against Berdych. After two weeks, Berdych still surrendered quickly.

Then Zhang Guan won Mayer again and met Ferrero in the semifinals.

Ferraro likes to play some tricky balls, but this also makes his stability is not very good, sometimes too much pursuit of falling, but there will be more off the net and out of bounds.

If the opponent’s mobility is not very strong, or if he is older, Ferrero’s style of play will often achieve extraordinary results. Many veterans will not be able to save some tricky returns. However, in the face of the world's mobility Zhang Guan, Ferrero's play was restrained by life, but Ferrero himself, because of some mistakes, sent points.

The technical skills of the two also determined the outcome of this game. Ferrero, the fifth in the world, was completely vulnerable to Zhang Guan and quickly lost the game.

Zhang Guan successfully reached the finals, and his opponent is Japanese player Nishikori.

Kinori Kei's entry into the final was a huge upset. The current Nishikori world ranking is outside the 50th place, so before the game, no one thought how far Nishikori would go in the Masters.

Nishikori himself, who was also unlucky recently, entered the tennis court under the name of "Japanese tennis genius". However, it has not achieved satisfactory results for Japanese citizens. In terms of personal life, the love affair with table tennis player Fukuhara was even beaten by the media.

In this Masters Tournament, Nishikori ushered in an outbreak. His first scene was against a famous French player, Tsonga, ranked tenth in the world. Nishikori was shaved 6-0 in the first set and even won two sets in a row with 7-5 and 7-6, eliminating Tsonga, and then he had successive warriors to fight Messer and Girard Dodo, Dolgorolov, Simon and other strongmen entered the finals. These opponents are ranked above Nishikori, and all players except Girardo are seed players. For a non-seed player outside the world ranking of 50, to be able to defeat so many strong opponents and advance to the finals, it can already be regarded as the biggest upset of this Masters.

Of course, the world ranking of Zhang Guan is also 50. He also defeated the seed player all the way to the finals. However, no one will regard Zhang Guan as a dark horse. The only gold slam among active athletes in the world should be in the finals and then win the championship trophy.

......

Since entering the professional tennis world in 2007, Nishikori’s only championship was at the 2008 Deerlai Hantan Open. At that time, he played as a qualified player, but he has defeated several strong The opponent finally defeated the American star Blake in the final and won the championship.

And this time the Master Cup, let Nishikori find the feeling of the year, he was all the way to the finals, and became a dark horse, even if he was not optimistic!

Standing on the field, Kei Nishiko was full of enthusiasm. In the surrounding auditorium, spectators from Japan had begun to wave the Japanese flag to cheer for Kei Nishiko.

This is Asia after all, and the venue is just across the sea from Japan. For Japanese spectators, you can fly back and forth to watch the game. You can go back and forth on the same day, which is much more convenient than European countries, so Many Japanese audiences came to the scene to cheer for Nishikori.

"So many compatriots support me, and I must not let them down!" The cheering sound of the surrounding Japanese audience suddenly gave Nishikori a strong fighting spirit. While serving, he couldn't help shouting.

"Drink!" Nishikori spelled an ace ball for the first time.

......

"Jin Zhijun is very imposing today!"

"Nishikori is also in very good condition, it is another ace ball!"

"Today’s Nishikori reminds me of the final three years ago, when he defeated American Blake!"

"Jin Zhijun looks like a rainbow, maybe there is hope to defeat Zhang Guan today!"

"Nishikori is worthy of our talented tennis player in Japan. I believe that it will not take long for him to have the status of Federer! He is the pride of our Japan!"

"Jin Zhijun has got the game, we will applaud him!"

Unconsciously, Nishikori already got the inning, and then scored a serve to win the first inning.

......

"Today’s Nishikori’s luck is really good!" Zhang Guan did not feel depressed because of 0-1 behind.

In the game just before, Nishikori sent two aces, which Zhang Guan was powerless, in addition to Zhang Guan, he also scored two servings, one of which Zhang Guan thought it was a throw-in, so When catching the ball, it was half a beat, and finally found out that it was in the field, and the opportunity was lost. This kind of luck is so explosive that even Zhang Guan can't stop it.

"The guy is full of momentum, but the momentum is not enough to bring victory!" Zhang Guan took a deep breath and started his own serve.

......

After Nishikori won the first serve, the morale was strong, and the surrounding Japanese audience began to cheer for Nishikori.

However, as the Zhang Guan puts it, the momentum is not enough to bring a victory, and luck cannot always be accompanied by one person. Sports, in the final analysis, is still a contest of strength, morale is only part of it.

1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, this is the score of the next five innings.

Since Nishikori won the first game, he lost five consecutive games, two of which were broken by Zhang Guan, and the situation collapsed instantly.

The score of the first set was finally fixed at 1-6, and Nishikori was defeated, but Nishikori did not give up.

In the first round of the group match, when he encountered Tsonga, he was even shaved 0-6 in the first set, but the result was not moved back. Today's situation is much better than when he met Tsonga, and he scored at least 1 inning.

"In the case of 0-6 losing the first set, I can pull it back. If 1-6, I will definitely be able to defeat it!"

In the second set game, Nishikori once again stood on the field with full confidence, then was beaten a 0-6, shaved bald.

After all, Nishikori’s strength is only outside the world’s top 50, and his true level is only the level of the first round of the four majors. With his good performance, he entered the finals well, but met a real strongman. Immediately appeared.

......

Kinori Kei sat on the chair with a frustrated look. When he sat here last time, he was still comforting himself, and he can pull back his 0-6 shaved head~IndoMTL.com~ can also defeat defeat, However, he did not expect that he was greeted with another 0-6 shaved head.

It seems to be pouring down a pot of cold water, instantly waking up Nishikori, he carefully recalled the game just now, but found that the strength of both sides is really not on a level.

"Zhang Guan is really strong. Compared with Tsonga, Zhang Guan is a player of another grade!"

The Japanese audience at the scene have been silent, and even some people have begun to leave early. They have seen that this game has fallen to one side. The difference in strength between the two sides makes it difficult for Nishikori to organize a counterattack.

The dark horse Nishikori still didn't get a black one in the end, the final lost to Zhang Guan, Zhang Guan also won the Rolex Masters Cup.

......

"1500 points, rules and regulations, at least until the start of the China Open next year, I will keep these 1500 points. The Olympic tennis tickets have been handed out!" Zhang Guan breathed out: "Next, it’s time to prepare , Went to Las Vegas to get my $300 million in appearance fee!" (Unfinished to be continued.)
