Kapitel 292: Runner-up couple?
On the thirteenth matchday of the Australian Open, the women's singles final was held at Rod Laver Stadium. This is a very special game for both sides.
For Sharapova, this is her first time in the Australian Open women's singles final. Sharapova, who just won the US Open last year, is certainly determined to win the championship. For Williams, the long injury caused her to only participate in four events last year, which made everyone question Williams. She also desperately needs a Grand Slam champion to correct her name.
In the first game between the two sides, Williams played very actively in her serving game. She continued to use the serve and active offensive scoring to easily keep her service. Sharapova was out of the game, making two mistakes in his serve, and Williams Jr. broke the game at the beginning. Williams Jr. came up with a 2-0 lead.
In the third game, Williams gave Sharapova a love-game, and in the fourth game, Williams received three consecutive serve attacks and gave Sharapova a love-game. In the fifth game, Williams Jr. made mistakes many times but still maintained her game; while in the sixth game, Sharapova finally secured the game, which was the only one she won in the first set.
Sharapova lost the first set 6-1.
In the first game of the second set, Sharapova had double errors at the beginning, then returned to the net twice and was broken by Williams. Although Sharapova got a breakpoint in the second game, William James eventually saved his serve. In the third game, Sharapova's serve finally improved, but too many mistakes in the process of receiving the ball made her lose another game.
In the next four games, both sides kept their service, and the game came to 5-2. And then, it was Serena Williams' serve to win the game. As long as Williams Jr. succeeds in maintaining her game, she will win the whole game.
Williams Jr. did not disappoint the audience. She successfully saved her serve and won the set 6-2.
6-1 / 6-2. This score is not like a contest of the same level. Looking at the final score, Sharapova's face was lonely. She didn't understand until the end of the game. Why did she lose so simply?
Williams Jr. looked up. Last year's injury caused Williams to drop to the 81st place in the world rankings, and this is the first Grand Slam tournament that Williams participated in after the injury came back. She reached the finals as a non-seed player, and won the trophy of the championship, letting her depression be swept away. Williams Jr. used a Grand Slam title to fight back those who questioned her. She seemed to have returned to her peak.
At the awards ceremony, Sharapova held the runner-up trophy in her hand and smiled reluctantly. Not far away, Zhang Guan sighed helplessly. History is still going according to the original process. Sharapova's ten-year victory over Williams is just the beginning.
...
"Australian Open's first runner-up couple is about to be born!"
"In today's Australian Open women's singles event, Williams Jr. defeated the top seed Sharapova 2-0. Sharapova won the runner-up very regretfully, and tomorrow in the men's singles final, Sharapova's boyfriend Zhang Guan is about to challenge tennis king Federer. The result of this game should have no suspense. Zhang Guan is about to win the runner-up in his first tennis match. The runner-up of the Australian Open men's singles and women's singles is a couple, this has never been the case, the first runner-up couple of the Australian Open is about to be born!"
"However, both Zhang Guan and Sharapova are still very young. Sharapova, who is under 20 years old, already holds two Grand Slam titles at Wimbledon and the US Open. In the professional tennis competition, they reached the Grand Slam final. They all have unparalleled talents. The future is unlimited. The future belongs to them. Maybe they have a chance to become the next Agassi couple!"
The Agassiz refers to American tennis star Andre Agassi and his wife German tennis star Steffi Graf. Both of them are "Gold Slam" winners, that is, they won not only the Grand Slam titles of the four Grand Slams but also the Olympic titles in their homepage careers. In addition to the Agassi couple, the players who have won the "gold slam" in history have Nadal and Williams Jr. It can be said that the Agassi couple is legends in the tennis world.
...
Zhang Guan saw this title and hurriedly closed the page. Now Sharapova is very concerned about the Australian Open runner-up. If Sharapova sees this report, this will stimulate her.
"Sure enough, the media are not optimistic about you, just like when I participated in the US Open finals eighteen years ago. No one is optimistic about me!" The spokesman was a middle-aged Chinese man sitting in front of Zhang Guan.
This middle-aged man is exactly coach Zhang Depei.
Zhang Depei had just arrived in Melbourne, and when he got off the plane, he got Zhang Guan to advance to the Australian Open final. He immediately came to join Zhang Guan non-stop, hoping to help Zhang Guan in the next game.
"Coach, you should be seventeen when you win the men's singles championship in the US Open!" Zhang Guan told Zhang Depei.
"Well, seventeen years and three months! At that time, no one thought that a 17-year-old young man, and also a Chinese, could win the US Open men's singles championship!" Zhang Depei seemed to be recalled, he continued, "In the United States, few athletes were born among Chinese, so I was racially profiled by everyone. Many people laughed at me and said that I should take a cooking shovel instead of a tennis racket..."
Zhang Guan listened silently, and Zhang Depei continued, "Now that I won, I defeated the very powerful Swedish star Edberg at the time and won the final championship."
Zhang Depei said here, and suddenly looked up at Zhang Guan, and then said, "No one was optimistic about me, but I won the US Open championship. I have experienced all this in person, so I firmly believe that you can do it, you can beat Federer and win the Australian Open!"
Zhang Guan was a little surprised, he did not expect this new coach to be so optimistic about him. But the next moment, Zhang Guan immediately realized that coach Zhang Depei was encouraging him.
Zhang Guan and Zhang Depei had only known each other for a day. Zhang Guan's strength and technical characteristics were unknown to Zhang Depei, and this time his opponent was Federer, so Zhang Depei found it difficult to guide Zhang Guan in terms of technical guidance and tactical play. All he can do is encourage Zhang Guan as much as possible.
Zhang Guan couldn't help but sigh, "Coach Zhang Depei came to the first day and began to perform his duties as a coach, really a competent coach!"
