Capítulo 338: Effort and talent
Federer's game is also on this day, the venue is also the Philip Stadium. However, Federer's game was played in the second game, and Zhang Guan's game was in the fourth game, there is a game between Jankovic and Bartoli between the two. Although Federer wanted to watch Zhang Guan's game, he didn't have the time to wait at Phillip Stadium for two hours, so as soon as he finished the game, he returned to the hotel and watched the game on live TV.
"Davydenko played so well today. Even if Zhang Guan constantly changes the offensive and defensive rhythm, Davydenko still doesn't move like a mountain and doesn't show Zhang Guan the slightest flaw!" Federer said.
Although Davydenko is a "big brush" who participates in more than 30 competitions a year, he can score points to become the fourth place in the world. Although Davydenko is not a talented player, his basic skills are still very solid. In addition to his accumulated games, once Davydenko decides to stabilize, it is really difficult to break through his defense.
What's more, Davydenko's status in this French Open is very good. In the first few rounds, he was able to defeat opponents 3-0. For example, this French Open, if there is no Zhang Guan, Davydenko will have to go until half. Federer will be eliminated in the final.
"Perhaps this steady play is a good way to deal with Zhang Guan, at least in the French Open," Federer muttered to himself.
At this time, Zhang Guan and Davydenko's game also entered the tie-break.
Thirty-two, thirty-nine, forty... This scene made Federer frown.
"Davydenko is still losing!" Federer said suddenly.
Mirka confirmed the score and asked, "How is Davydenko losing? The scores of the two sides are so tight that no one can break, it looks even?"
"The last few rounds of the contest, the minimum must also have an 18-beat hold, then several times more than 20 beats, followed by more than 30 beats, the last ball is forty beats." Federer spoke after a while, he said, "Although the pace of the French Open is slow, several consecutive balls have played such a long period of stalemate, it is very expensive for the players."
If it is a flat shot, the two professional players will not feel too tired even if they play one hundred and eighty shots, but the French Open is on the clay court, and the topspin is the best choice for the clay court. Especially in recent years, the appearance of Nadal has made the spin popular on the French Open, and all players have started to use a strong topspin.
The pressure on the arm muscles due to the topspin is very large. The more you pursue the rotation, the more muscles you need to increase the friction. Even for very good-endurance players who play dozens of topspins in a row, you will feel tired.
At this time, Davydenko felt a sense of fatigue in his arm, and then he suddenly realized.
"Zhang Guan deliberately played this kind of long-shot holding the ball!"
It is a pity that Davydenko is still one step late. With a score of 5-5 in the tie-break, he has no chance to dare to change his tactics and strategies. He can only hold on.
The score came 6-6, and it was another long-shot stalemate. After thirty shots, Davydenko made a counterattack. At the same time, he also felt that his rotation of the ball was very poor and the speed was also very fast. In general, it was almost a threat-free response.
The impact of the fatigue of the arm is most directly reflected in the degree of rotation of the ball. With the consumption of physical strength, Davydenko cannot maintain the high-intensity friction between the racket and the ball and naturally cannot maintain a high spin.
The score of this game was finally fixed at 8-6, Zhang Guan won the tie-break.
...
"Davydenko's physical strength is better than I thought. I didn't expect him to last so long. Wait a minute, Davydenko seems to be the same age as Federer, both twenty-six years old! It should be." Zhang Guan looked at Davydenko while thinking, Davydenko's already sparse yellow hair was shaved with only a thin layer, and the high hairline had a kind of gratitude top trend.
"Twenty-six looks like forty-six, always think of him as an older player!" Zhang Guan smiled self-deprecatingly.
When Zhang Guan realized Daweidenko's tactics for stability, he also remembered Coach Zhang's reminder to play carefully and patiently, so Zhang Guan did not continue to attack, but thought about countermeasures in a stable stalemate.
Davydenko's image always makes Zhang Guan feel that he is a young player. Zhang Guan subconsciously feels that the older players have insufficient physical strength, so he developed the long shooting strategy just now. Davydenko's physical strength is consumed first, and he will make a strong attack when he cannot maintain a high-speed topspin.
Davydenko can participate in more than 30 games a year, and his physical strength is certainly not too weak, but his natural fitness is more general, so his physical strength is not top. In the end, he can't stand the continuous multi-beat contest and lost the first set.
In the second set that followed, the two sides were still holding more shots but still hit the tiebreaker.
The game in the tie-break was much quicker. Zhang Guan was still using the same tactics he just did and continued to hold a long shot. Davydenko's endurance was not as good as his own.
Davydenko also saw Zhang Guan's intentions, his expression showed helplessness, he realized that his strategy of seeking stability had failed.
Davydenko's expression became silent. He knew that Zhang Guan's physical fitness and athleticism were much stronger than himself. Whenever he met this opponent, Davydenko always became silent.
Davydenko has no outstanding sports talent, no top physical quality, and no outstanding technical characteristics. He only has the honor to work hard, he firmly believes that diligence can make up for it, and he has also entered the ranks of the world's top tennis players with his efforts. But at this moment, he once again felt the feeling of powerlessness. In the face of the extremely strong physical fitness and athletic talent of Zhang Guan, even in the clay-court where he is best at, Davydenko did not find any way to win.
Davydenko gave 99% of his efforts, but he lacked that 1% of talent!
...
In front of the TV, Federer looked at Davydenko with pity.
"Nikola (Davydenko) is the most hard-working player I have seen. If he can have better physical fitness and athletic talent, he will not only have today's achievements." Federer said.
"In sports, the effort is not enough. Physical fitness and athletic talent are more important than effort." Mirka said with emotion.
Federer was also very touched. He went on to say, "This set of Davydenko's tactics for stability seems to be very useful against Zhang Guan. I want to give it a try."
Mirka looked at Federer in amazement, and Federer went on to say, "Davydenko lost his body and talent, not tactics! Fortunately, I don't lack physical and talent, if I put the two lacking features of Davydenko together, I should be able to defeat Zhang Guan!"
