Capítulo 253: Enter the third round
"In the second round of the Australian Open men's singles round that ended today, Zhang Guan, who took part in the wild card, defeated the 28th seed Sebastian Grosjean in the tournament with a total score of 3-0. Broke an upset in the second round of the Australian Open men's singles, the final three sets were 6-0, 6-3 and 6-2, Zhang Guan also successfully entered the third round, and Grosjean then ended his trip to the Australian Open again."
The news of just a few words shocked many people who were concerned about the Australian Open. Any non-seed player who defeats the seed player can be regarded as an upset, even if Grosjean's seed ranking is relatively low, but considering that his opponent is Zhang Guan, this can already be regarded as a big upset.
Many of the players who participated in the Grand Slam competition for the first time were eliminated in one round. There are a few who can stick to the second round, and there are very few who can rush to the third round. If a player who participated in the Grand Slam for the first time successfully advances to the third round, they can already be regarded as a dark horseplayer.
Zhang Guan not only participated in the Australian Open for the first time but also participated in a professional tennis tournament for the first time. The first time he participated in a professional tennis tournament, he entered the third round of the Grand Slam, which undoubtedly set a precedent.
"How did Zhang Guan win against Grosjean? Grosjean was the 28th seed!"
"In the first round, Zhang Guan's opponent was Rochus. But Rochus was unwell during the game, so he lost to Zhang Guan. Is Grosjean also unwell?"
"Isn't Grosjean's serve very powerful? How could he lose to a track and field athlete and still be swept by 3-0? Unknown people thought Grosjean had met Federer or Nadal!"
After learning this news, many people immediately searched for the report of this game, hoping to learn how Zhang Guan won, and from the description of the report, everyone saw that Grosjean could not receive the ball, Grosjean volleyed out of bounds, Grosjean made double mistakes and other information.
The person who wrote the battle report just faithfully described the course of the whole game, such as Zhang Guan's serve in the first game. Of course, he wouldn't describe in detail that Zhang Guan sent Federer's signature topspin, only that Zhang Guan sent out several ACE balls; for example, in the second game, the person who wrote the battle report could not write in detail that Zhang Guan returned with a Nadal turn, but only described that Grosjean had made a mistake when he intercepted the volley.
If you only watch the battle report without watching the game video, the information people can get is that Grosjean made a lot of unforced mistakes in the game, so many people were misled. And so many games in the second round of the Australian Open, plus doubles have already started, I am afraid that hardcore fans will not specifically find the video to study.
"It seems that Grosjean was not in a good state. There have been many unforced mistakes. It may be that he galloped on the woman's belly last night, so it became a soft foot shrimp during the game!"
"Zhang Guan's luck was really good. He met a Rochus who was unwell in the first round, and a Grosjean was in a very poor state in the second round. He deserves to be a sponsor of the wild card. It was very easy to meet all of them. But I think Zhang Guan's good luck should stop here. His opponent in the next round is Nalbandian!"
For the entire Australian Open series, the news of Zhang Guan's victory over Grosjean was just a short conversation. With the Australian Open's fifth match day, the men's singles and women's singles entered the third round. The seed players started to fight each other, and the Australian Open game became more exciting. Especially on the fifth matchday, Roddick's game against Safin attracted the attention of many audiences.
Fans 'memories are quite short-lived. With new matches and big-name matchups, who cares about a losing No. 28 seed and a wild card player.
But as the opponent of Zhang Guan's next game, Nalbandian and his coach watched the video of Zhang Guan and Grosjean's game all night.
"The number of rounds in the game is still too short. The information we can get from a game alone is very limited. From the perspective of Zhang Guan's style of play, he should be like everyone and be a bottom line player." The coach stood up, and then summed everything up, "At present, Zhang Guan's serve percentage is still very good. They were all successful in the first serve, rarely in the second serve, and his choice of serving does not seem to be very limited. This is a personal habit?"
"I don't think so." Nalbandian shook his head, "Grosjean backhand is too weak, and Zhang Guan's serve is indeed very strong, so Zhang Guan attacked Grosjean's backhand when serving. The ultimate serve can take the initiative."
The coach nodded, "That is to say, the current level of Zhang Guan's second serve is still an unknown number. I think we can work hard in this direction during the game. Your backhand is already strong, and the serve of yours is also strong, so during the game, you can force Zhang Guan to serve as many points as possible to make him make more mistakes."
"You mean, let him take a second shot?" Nalbandian asked.
"Yes, although we are still unsure of Zhang Guan's second serve, we can be sure that all athletes' second serve is weaker than the first serve. Especially for some new players, their mentality will fluctuate greatly during the second serve. Although Zhang Guan's technique is good, he is not a professional tennis player, after all, he may not have much experience in the second serve, this may be our opportunity." The coach then said, "Another point is Zhang Guan's forehand while hitting the ball, his speed should be very fast!"
"Yeah, according to my observations on the spot, the rotation of Zhang Guan's forehand should be no less than that of Nadal. I initially thought it was Nadal's turn! One Nadal is hard enough, and now there is one more Zhang Guan who can also spin like this!" Nalbandian said uncomfortably.
"What about his backhand?" The coach asked.
"This ... seems to be more normal and more general. At present, I have not seen any highlights. The main reason is that Zhang Guan's mobility is too strong, and he can always occupy the forehand position." Nalbandian said.
"Zhang Guan's strong moving ability is only part of the reason, and it is because Grosjean's backhand is too weak and he gave Zhang Guan the opportunity. If it is you, you will not give Zhang Guan the time to move to the forehand position." The coach said.
"That is, of course, my backhand is much stronger than Grosjean. If the same ball is moving towards my backhand, I think Zhang Guan can only use the backhand to catch the ball!" Nalbandian said with full of confidence.
The coach encouraged with excitement, "Then you should fight with your backhand against Zhang Guan in the game! You are all right-handed so, it should be very easy for you to attack his backhand with your backhand. Your backhand is the strongest in the world. Then, use your strongest spear to pierce your opponent!"
