Almighty Athlete Chapter 48: The runner-up battle?

Zhang Depei is a Chinese-American tennis player. He has won the French Open in 1989 and the runner-up in the Australian Open and the US Open in 1996. It is worth mentioning that when he won the French Open championship, he was only 17 years and 3 months old. He was also the youngest winner in the Grand Slam men's singles competition. Zhang Depei's best ranking in history is the second in the world, and that year's world ranking is the world champion Sampras.

Zhang Depei transformed into a tennis coach after retiring, and has also achieved some results, but the most well-known Zhang Guan is the Japanese player Nishikori. Since Zhang Depei became the coach of Nishikori, Nishikori's results have risen linearly , Not only won the runner-up in the US Open, the world rankings also climbed to the top five in the world. This also fully shows that Zhang Depei is still capable as a coach.

In addition to Zhang Depei, Zhang Guan has no other better options. Tennis, like other professional sports, usually changes coaches during the offseason. Those good coaches have long been hired by other players during the offseason, and now it is January. The entire tennis season Just started, naturally there will be no players changing coaches. So being able to find coaches at this level of Zhang Depei is a big surprise for Zhang Guan.

So Zhang Guan immediately said: "Then let coach Zhang come as soon as possible and reimburse him for the ticket. Although he can't make it to the semifinals, he can certainly make it to the finals. Martha also made it to the semifinals, Joy. Coach Si’s task is very heavy, I can’t always rub her coach!”

......

For Gonzalez, he was able to defeat Nadal and reach the semi-finals of the Grand Slam has created his personal best results. Prior to this, his Grand Slam best results were only in the quarterfinals.

"My next match is Zhang Guan, which is really a good group!" Gonzalez is still very excited at this time, defeating Nadal in such an important game, for him, it can really be a big hit Celebrate.

"If the opponent is Davydenko, it is really troublesome for me. Davydenko has a lot of experience in the game. He can always crack my forehand. It prevents me from attacking. I can’t find the game. Feel. But fortunately, Zhang Guan helped me get rid of Davydenko and play a rookie in the next game. It seems that it is not a problem to enter the finals!" Gonzalez continued.

At this time, Gonzalez fully demonstrated the natural optimism of South American players.

However, Gonzalez’s coach said: "I don’t think you should be too careless. Although Zhang Guan is participating in the Australian Open for the first time. But it is not a normal rookie. The skills he has shown Both are mature, and he played with Davidenco. You have also seen that the Zhang Guan has a very accurate forehand and uses a baseline offensive tactic similar to Federer; and his service level is also very good. A game, but a dozen ACE shots! I made a statistic, his serve is more than 70%. The speed can exceed 200 kilometers per hour, it is better than you alone!"

"Strong than me! That's because I didn't play my best!" Gonzalez sneered, then said: "Wait and watch. I will try my best in the game tomorrow! Zhang Guan's serve is good?" Forehand is also good? Then I will serve and beat him with my forehand!"

......

The Australian Open is on the eleventh match day.

In the women’s singles semi-finals that started first. Williams Jr. defeated Vadisova 2-0, and Sharapova defeated Christels with the same score. Today's Australian Open final will be a contest between Williams Jr. and Sharapova.

However, this is not a good result for Sharapova. It is well known that Little Williams is Sharapova's nemesis. Sharapova has almost never won against Williams. Although Sharapova won her first Grand Slam victory over Williams, since the WTA year-end finals in 2004, Sha Rapova never won Jr. Williams again. Then, when Sharapova faced Williams, it was ten years in a row.

After the women’s singles two-and-a-half game, Rod Laver Stadium also ushered in the most important game today, Federer against Roddick in the men’s singles semi-final. Roddick was the sixth seed of the tournament. Before the game, he was considered to be the favorite to win the championship. Although his record with Federer was 12 losses and 1 win, Roddick was definitely disadvantaged. But in the second half of last year, the famous tennis coach Connors became Roddick's coach, and Roddick also made rapid progress. Roddick faced Federer's only victory in the Couyan Classic before the Australian Open.

The Kuyan Classic was only a week away from the Australian Open, which means that Roddick defeated Federer a week ago, so many people think that Roddick will cause Federer a lot of trouble, maybe Federer can be defeated again; some people say this is a battle of revenge.

However, the result of the game was shocking. Federer finished the game in just 83 minutes. 6-4/6-0/6-2 straight sets Rodick out of the game. Roddick failed to cause Federer a little trouble.

......

"Federer has reserved the championship of the Australian Open"

"In the game held this afternoon, defending champion Federer defeated the 6th seed Roddick of the tournament and successfully advanced to the finals, but for many people, the current Australian Open champion has lost suspense. Men's Singles Although the semifinals of a game have not yet begun, neither Gonzalez nor Zhang Guan obviously have the possibility of defeating Federer in the final. So Federer can be said to have taken the Australian Open champion into his arms."

This report tells the voices of many people~IndoMTL.com~ Now Federer is in perfect condition. From the first round of the game, until he defeated Roddick in the semi-finals, Federer was 3-0. The score was won without losing a set.
