Almighty Athlete Chapter 72: The first 7 grabs
Nadal blinked, confirming that the two of them were Federer and the other was Zhang Guan, not two Federers.
"Is it an illusion? Probably too tired to practice today!" Nadal leaned on the sofa, and the Zhang Guan in the TV set just hit a beautiful change line with his forehand.
"To deal with this kind of ball, only Federer will choose the forehand to change the line!" Nadal straightened up and stared at the TV.
If Federer used the forehand to change the line just now, Nadal will take it for granted, but the user is Zhang Guan, which makes Nadal feel incredible.
Nadal had watched the match between Zhang Guan and Davydenko before. He also found that the forehand of Zhang Guan was very similar to Federer’s, but Nadal didn’t pay attention to it because there were Too many players are learning or imitating Federer's style of play, and it is not surprising that Zhang Guan imitates Federer's style of play.
And today, when Zhang Guan and Federer competed in the same game, Nadal only found out that Zhang Guan's tactical play was not only similar to Federer's, but was carved out of a mold.
High-level tennis players, everyone has their own distinct technical characteristics, and in the level of Grand Slam seed players, everyone's technical characteristics can be accurate to the way the ball is handled and hit Ball details.
Just like Federer and Nadal, the two of them have met more times in the contest, and they have studied each other more thoroughly. Nadal has already understood the way Federer handles the ball. Especially for some difficult balls, only Federer will choose a certain way of returning the ball, because only Federer's technology can do it.
"Zhang Guan's research on Federer is more thorough than me, and he is still learning Federer's play! Now there are so many players learning Federer's play, Zhang Guan is the most similar to learn. , Just like Federer himself. Federer is afraid of trouble in this game."
......
Both sides of the game are very active, almost running around in their own half.
Both players are using reverse thinking, standing at the opponent's position to consider how to catch the ball, that is, they can see through the opponent's tactical intentions, which makes many of the tactics of both sides interrupted by the opponent. New tactics had to be changed, so the running of both sides became very frequent.
3-3, 4-4, 5-5. After the ten innings, neither side was able to break.
On CCTV’s live broadcast, only the commentator said: "Federer's running has become more and more active. In the last two years, Federer has rarely seen such a positive run. It seems that he is very interested in victory. Longing!"
The commentator next to the guest, Su, nodded his head: "Yes, but I think this also means that Zhang Guan put a lot of pressure on Federer, and then forced Federer to have to respond with a positive run, and it was on the spot. Federer did not get the initiative in the situation above, and the two sides are still in a balance."
"Sue, why did this happen?" the commentator asked.
"Both Zhang Guan and Federer are very good players. Both of them look very good today. Although there are occasional mistakes once or twice, this mistake is not fatal, so keep it. There should be no problem with my own serve. I think there will be a tie-break in this game." Su Guigang just finished, and Zhang Guan won the eleventh inning with one serve online. The score came At 6-5, Zhang Guan temporarily leads.
The twelfth inning is Federer’s serve. This is an extremely crucial game for both parties. If Federer can guarantee the success of the game, the game will enter the tie-break, and if it is broken by Zhang Guan, Federer will lose. Off the second set.
Federer stood on the court without any distractions. As the king of tennis, Federer's key ball handling is not the world's first. The countless experience of the competition has already allowed Federer to practice the steel-like will and stable psychological quality. The more the key ball, the more Federer can play. Better level.
In this round of competition, Federer did well. One serve score and one ACE ball took the advantage at the beginning. Then the continuous forehand pressure after the serve directly broke the hope of Zhang Guan break. Federer successfully defended his hair and tied the score 6-6.
"6-6 draw, the two sides will have a tiebreaker next! I think everyone in the audience must be like me, and I look forward to the tiebreaker match between the two sides!" The commentator said while looking through his hands. data of.
"Let us look at the record of the two players in the past seven games. First of all, look at Federer. In this Australian Open, Federer has experienced two tie-breaks. In the third round of the Australian Open, Federer faced the match 25. No. 1 seed Youzhny played a tiebreaker, Federer won the tiebreak with a 7-5 score; then in the semifinals, Federer and the 7th seed Robredo also played a match In the tiebreaker, Federer easily won 7-2 in that game. Now Federer is the third tiebreaker in the Australian Open."
"Let’s take a look at Zhang Guan...Oh, Zhang Guan has never played a tiebreaker! This is incredible! From the first round to the final, Zhang Guan has never played a tiebreaker~IndoMTL.com~ This also means that Zhang Guan can break at least one game in every previous game! The next game will be the first tie-break in Zhang Guan's career!" The commentator finished and took a deep breath. , A bit sighed: "I have to say that this situation is very unfavorable for Zhang Guan. He has no experience in the tiebreaker at all, and his opponent Federer's key ball level is the world's first. If If I’m Zhang Guan, I would rather have a tie-break in one or two of the previous games, at least I can accumulate some tie-breaking experience."
......
On the stands, Sharapova looked at Zhang Guan with a worried look.
"Oops, Zhang Guan has never played a tie-break. The tie-break is completely different from the ordinary one. If the opponent is weaker, he may have a chance to adapt to the tie-break game slowly. Rhythm, but now his opponent is Federer. With Federer's key goal level, he may not give Zhang Guan any chance to adapt to the tie-break."
Sharapova folded her hands involuntarily, and all she could do at this time was pray to God.
......
"Finally, the game was dragged to the tie-break. This game was really tough. Zhang Guan is far more powerful than I expected." Federer wiped the sweat on his head with a wry smile: "It's okay Zhang Guan has no experience in the tiebreaker game, and this game can be won. However, playing a tiebreaker with a player who has no tiebreaker experience at all, I really have some wins."
